Yes, I can't see CY adjusting well to modern times at all - leaving the culture shock, I just don't see him being able to overcome his innate level of violence, one appropriate to a 15th-century warrior but not to anyone in 21st century Seoul. He seems to literally have been trained for it from the cradle and overcoming that kind of conditioning - yikes.
Plus, Choi Young is a noted historical figure (even if one who, probably, didn't produce lightning from his fingertips) - dragging him to the future and thus robbing history of decades-long presence in it he would otherwise have is kinda a big deal. It's not like with Boong Do (who was not only fictional, but also a minor historical figure even within the drama world). It's as if I traipsed back into long-ago England and brought the Duke of Marlborough back with me before he had a chance to make his mark on history.
The thing with her staying in the past, I can buy it, but I would never do it myself, love or not.
