I am surprised that Park’s marriage contract is doing as well as it is. I like the drama, but I don’t think it is worthy of 8%, especially compared to My Demon, which is airing at the same time. I don’t know how to explain what’s not working for me with Park’s marriage, because I love the leads, the chemistry, the story is overall Ok, I feel like it is a little disjointed, for lack of better word.
I don’t really understand the emotional growth of the leads and how this deep connection formed. I don’t understand the grandpa and his motives. I also feel that they adapted far too quickly to New Joseon. All these make it feel like it wasn’t well thought out or how do I say, there is a wave length mismatch between the drama and the viewers. So yes, I am very surprised that it’s doing as well as it is, though I enjoy watching it while waiting for new episodes of The Matchmakers and My Demon
