A modern day college student time travels and finds herself in her favourite historical romantic novel where she expects to be a side character but ends up being the lead. Seohyeun plays Cha Seonchaek the time traveller superbly with a cheeky and endearing performance. The duke Lee Beon is played by Ok Taec-yeon who has a horrible reputation at court for being the ruthless hunting dog for the Emperor. We have the usual side stories with various factions fighting behind the scenes to seize power with good performances from the entire cast. I do think it falls a little short in the plot as little thought is given to the back story of most of the cast as all concentration is on the romance.

Nao plays Hokomi Sato an office worker who's mother and sister tend to attract unfaithful men and even though she thinks she is different she is heartbroken when she finds out her boyfriend is unfaithful. She finds solace with a photographer and part time bar man Kairi Kuzuya played by Yuma Tamamori, but when she finds out he is a womanising scumbag she takes up boxing determined to punch him in the face. It is an enjoyable drama although the characters can be a little frustrating at times with their decisions. Great and amusing interactions between the lead couple as we find out over the episodes the underlying reasons for Kari's behaviour. I would have liked more development of the supporting cast or fewer episodes but overall an entertaining series.

Jin Ki-joo plays Seun Eun-woo who is dumped by her boyfriend on a Wednesday at 3,30 which according to the slightly sexist storyline is when females are least attractive. Luckily into her life comes a childhood friend Yoon Jae-won (Lee Hong-bin) who promises he will help her get back with her boyfriend by making her interesting and attractive each week at that time and day. He has been overseas and returned to be with his girlfriend who left after he returned. Over the course of the series the more time they spend with each other the more comfortable they become although this all falls apart when her boyfriend asks to get back with her and his girlfriend also returns. It is only 10 episodes at less then 30mins each so is short and sweet, excellent acting all round and cute interactions between the lead couple make it an entertaining watch.
