A breath of fresh air.

I have to say, this drama is one of the best dramas I've watched in a while. I haven't felt like this about a drama since Secret Garden. This drama is cute and romantic and the idea of time traveling back and forth from the Joseon Dynasty kept me interested. I really appreciated the way the writers explained everything unlike most dramas that leave you asking questions to as why something happened.

The actors/actresses were eye catching, especially the main characters. Yoo In Na and Ji Hyun Woo are absolutely adorable together. The only thing that I don't agree with what everyone says is Yoo In Na's acting. Don't get me wrong, her sob scenes were really moving, but when she wasn't sobbing, and she was just crying normally, it felt like she was forcing it. But other than that, she was great.

Overall, it's a really great drama that I would recommend to everyone who just wants to watch a good romance. Words cannot describe how amazing Queen Inhyun's Man is. read more

This drama is daebaek. It starts slow for some, especially if you are not a fan of historical drama. After watching many k-dramas, i can say this is one of the best. There is no dull moments, no cliches, real passionate kisses. To conclude, Queen Inhyun's Man has all the elements that makes me watch a drama without skipping.

1) The reason I watched this:

Just because of the time travelling theme, I thought it would be cool since I watched "The Rooftop Prince". I wan't expecting anything from it but I end up liking it greatly.

2) Storyline/Plot:

It's different from The rooftop prince so don't you dare to compare them. You would only make it hard to watch if you do so.

Positive points :

*The story was light yet entertaining.
*I just loved how they combined the Joesen era with nowadays: one snap from here and the other from there , that was brilliant!
*The events were interesting and most of all unpredictable. I have to give script writers credit for many "What was that?" moments because those twists were the drama's core.
*Basically the drama contains romance, happy moments, sadness and even action and let's forget the historical side.
*The drama was full of great emotions that can touch you deeply: the romantic side was simply perfect, this is what I call "A romantic drama".
*The story's development was great since it gets better and better after each episode.

Negative points:

*Now that I think about it, I have no complains but the reason I haven't gave the storyline a higher score is some unnecessary events but that doesn't affect the general story's aspect.

Story: 9/10

3) Acting/Cast:

*Ji Hyun Woo : I've seen him in a film before but here he was completely different; he may sound stiff sometimes but heis role was well portrayed: he was cool whether in the past or in the present.

*Yoo In Na : Like everyone, I only saw her in "Secret Garden". I never had great hopes for her in this drama but Wohoo, she was shmazing here! She was extremely good and her acting was great. Moreover, her crying scenes were one of the best crying scenes that I've ever seen. If I was a teary person I would definitely cry when she did because she delivered great feelings.

*The chemistry was simply amazing that's why this drama gains the most romantic drama of the year.

*Other wast were cool and the general acting was satisfying.

Cast: 8.5/10
Acting: 9.5/10

4) The ending:

I don't know why there are a respectable amounts of complains about the ending o_O, it's true that it was a "fan-service" yet it wasn't that bad to hate the whole drama because of it.
The ending was cool, the type of ending that would make you satisfied, they could've took it to another level but it would be ruined that way.

The ending: 8.5/10

5) My impression (How did it affect me):

*I really liked it: Light and cool drama.
*The lead actors made this drama fun to watch.
*It didn't take a long time to complete it, simply because it was exempted from blank and boring moments.
*This is one the most romantic dramas that I've seen so far. I liked the drama but I wasn't obsessed over it.

My impression: 8/10

6) Overall:

*If you like steamy romantic stories then you would like this.
*If you're into the time travelling theme then this is for you.
*If you're looking for a good drama that have a great cast then you may like this.

Overall: 8.5/10. read more

Love that withstands the test time, space and lost memories...

I'm quite embarrassed now to remember why and how I started watching this drama, thinking of it lightly, just another rom/com, even putting it on hold after watching 2 episodes... now it sounds so crazy to me *shame on me*...

More than writing about the originality of the story and its differences from other dramas, I'd prefer to write about the characters that made me love the story, even making me claim, that I'd love the ending despite whatever stupid solution they offer, only if the two main leads end up together (no, that did not include meeting with the reincarnated version of one of the characters!)

First of all (hands away, he's MINE, RAWR!) the smartest, the hottest, the bravest Kim BoongDu! I will agree with HeeJin, he's a total player, who stole my heart and did not give it back even after the end, on the contrary, I love him more and more each day. BoongDu kind of flipped my apprehension of a perfect male character! Ji HyunWoo was such a natural in his role, I didn't doubt his act even for a second, everything was so natural! Even the smallest looks he gave HeeJin, the smallest touch, the smallest blink of his eyes for her, nothing went unnoticed because of his acting!

HeeJin, well, not my perfect female character, actually (she underestimated her intellect so often...), but I came to love her so dearly! I've said several times: HeeJin - the only female character who can explain the meaning of everything with a kiss, I luved it! I liked her very much, as she went on with her life even during her hardest times, tried her hardest to be all she wanted to be, and did not break down during separation, was passionate and cute, lovable and supportive every time BoongDu needed her!

A special mention deserves the cinematography of this drama! One of the BEST thing bout this drama, I felt like being inside the screen all the time, I fell in love with director's style, his multiple angle shots of the same scene, showing both of the characters when they were longingly looking at each other, I did not miss a single moment of their love, not a single teardrop, not a single breath...

I also want to mention that this drama contains the BEST kiss I had ever witnessed in a Korean drama! I still go back and watch it sometimes... the tip-toe kiss...*sigh*

The music is very fitting and sweet, especially the traditional instrumental piece which I hope will be released soon, I adore it...

I have rewatched many parts of the drama for many-many times, so I rate its value almost as high as the drama itself.

During these weeks I have been watching this drama, it changed its status in my heart several times: first it was a light rom/com trough which I was going to lightly pass through, rate it 7 and forget, then it became the source of my smile and laughter, as I was leaving it to watch after I was being drained by King2Hearts, it gave me so much consolation... then, as I was still under the impression of K2H, it kind of lost the meaning of a placebo of a smile for me, but then, it again gained my heart, made my heart flutter, made me laugh, cry, scream at the screen, analyze and dream...
Totally recommended ^^ read more

I don’t know what to say. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve felt this way. I just don’t know what to say. This drama’s so beautiful that I can’t find the right words to express my feelings about it. But I’ll try my best to give a sensible review despite my speechlessness.

The drama may have had a slow start, but I loved the story. I love every part of it. It’s not something new since time travel seems to be the trend these days, but the way time travel was incorporated in the drama was really admirable. I loved how the drama not only dwelled in the past or in the present, but in both time periods. The connection between the past and the present, and how changes in the past affect the present were really refreshing to watch. The conflicts as well as the respective resolutions were well-developed. Some dramas tend to drag because of too many ridiculous conflicts, but this drama managed to keep its charm despite the numerous conflicts.

The cast did a good job. Characters were well-portrayed, and there never was a moment where I felt annoyed by their acting. They were able to showcase different emotions effectively. They made me laugh when I needed to, and made me cry even when I tried not to. And the chemistry between the two leads is overflowing that I could drown. I’ve seen various Kdrama couples with really amazing chemistry, but this is the first time I’ve seen a couple which seemed so real. Oh wait, the two leads did fall in love while filming the drama. No wonder everything felt so real.

The music was lovely. To be honest, I’ve never been into details when it comes to music. But when I learned about the titles of the song playing, I suddenly got curious. The music was a great reflection of the story. It’s like you could just listen to the song, and you’ll have an idea of what the story’s all about. But there’s this one song title that could perfectly describe this drama: “Under the Same Sky, In a Different Time”

I could rewatch this a million times if only there were a fewer scenes from the past. I can endure watching them, but I’m not really a fan of historical dramas. But don’t get me wrong, this drama won’t be that great if not for the adorable mixture of the past and the present. The amount of scenes in both time periods was just right.

I’m out of words, so let me just say three things this drama reminded me of: faith, hope and love. read more

This drama is my absolute favorite! I have caught myself going back to favorite episodes and scenes over a dozen times already. Ji Hyun Woo does a remarkable job as Kim Boong Do, it's very believable that he is a man in the future with the morals and abilities of someone from the Joseon era. Honestly, I think he does a better job than Micky Yoochun from Rooftop, whose character seems over the top at times. I would be sadly remiss if I didn't point out how adorable Yoo In Na is in this drama. There is this thing she does when she is frustrated or confused where she puffs out her cheeks, and I swear, it's one of the most adorable things I have ever seen. If you are looking for something that is light and fun with a really sweet romance, and not too much drama (at least not in the present day scenes) then you have to give this drama a shot! But, as much as I love this drama, even I can admit it is not without it's flaws. As with most time travel shows, there is definitely some holes in the way the travel works, especially when you get to the end. But if you can suspend disbelief long enough to just accept the fantasy of the show, you won't be sorry! read more

So romantic, funny, smartly written, compelling and sweet. Queen In Hyun's man is far and away, one of the best romantic dramas of the year so far. I am glad I skipped the other glut of time travel dramas and chose this one to watch.

The story is a complete and cohesive tale; beginning, middle and end. Which sadly is something Kdramaland tends to have trouble with. But the writers of this drama really got it right! I fell in love with the Boong Do and Hee Jin falling in love. And even better I loved the plot. Usually I have a lot of trouble with time travel genre. I think time travel is one of the harder kinds of plots to pull off and pin down. They can get convoluted and tend to lead to more questions then answers. But this drama kept things simple and fairly clean. It didn't try to over explain or get too complicated. I walked away feeling satisfied with a really great story and ending.

Queen In Hyun's man is so satisfying to watch. There is dramatic tension, bad guys to fear, funny characters to laugh at and romance to make me sigh. And the kisses! Such great kisses!

The acting was so wonderful. I was very impressed with Yo In Na. She really gave a memorable performance and is quickly becoming an actress I will happily follow from drama to movie and back to dramas again. She was so engaging and real with all her emotions. I never felt she was faking her performance and she didn't over act and fall all over herself crying. She was a delight. Ji Hyun Woo blew me away with his portrayal of Boong Do. I fell in love with him right along with Hee Jin. Every girl needs a Boong Do! The orbiting characters were portrayed just as well. I loved Hee Jin's friend Soo Kyung played by Ga Deuk Hi and her ex boyfriend, played by Lee Kwan Hoon. He was such a character. This cast was a great fit together.

The music was Daebak! I love the OST and one that I would like to own. The songs fit with the undercurrent of romance always present in this drama.

I would wholeheartedly and happily watch this drama again. It's a keeper. One I am glad exists so I can go back to on a rainy day and re-watch with delight.

Solid 10's overall for everything. There is not one bad thing I can say about this drama. I am so glad it appeared this spring/summer in a sea of some really mediocre romantic drama fare. Stellar acting, writing and great fun. Please don't miss this! read more

Its an over all 10 for me. From the script to the casts to the OST. The actings were great from the lead stars to the supporting especially during the Joseon era. I have seen a lot of kdrama and i dont usually get affected by the acting of some even if they are big stars already. The others were trying to be cute and the others don't even know how to do funny role even if the script already calls for it. Some K dramas , i ended up dropping it.
But here the chemistry of the two lead stars were great, I saw the male lead in "Birth of the Rich" and " A thousand Kisses" but this is where he is paired just right.
The story has the complete mix, funny scenes, romantic scenes, dramatic scenes( used a lot of tissues)& action. I have watched it again now that it is complete.
I seldom recommend a kdrama and do a review, but this is worth your time. One of my favorites, it is now the first among my list. read more

A perfect 10 for Queen In Hyun's Man!!

But to tell you the truth... at first, I hesitated A LOT on watching this drama. I didn't know most of the characters, The story itself sounded very similar to Rooftop prince and I was wondering over and over why other reviewers gave this drama such a high remark. So I gave it a try and oh-My-G! I was thankful for that. It was the right decision to make.

10 FOR THE STORY. I was like happy, sad, surprised, dreamy, laughing and crazy for most of the time. I agree with what other people says about this drama - It's really 'mind blowing'. I really hate how every episode ends in a scene where you will want to continue and go to the next until late at night and you can't sleep because there's still the next episode and it's telling you 'watch me! watch me!. haha! Also, I personally think that this is the best among all the time-traveling dramas I've watched. It wasn't just all about time-traveling and having to live in that new magical place for a certain period of time before going back to normal. It went to the extent of having to go back and forth in time and having to choose where you actually belong. It went to the extent of fighting for your own choice and happiness.

10 FOR ACTING/CAST. Like I said, at first I hesitated because I didn't know who the casts are. 'are they good in acting?' 'will the lead characters even give a little chemistry?'. Well, yes they did and they did it good. It was not just about the great chemistry between the two lead characters, but their natural acting. I loved every character in this drama.The only ones I hated were the main villains. I was taken by many scenes where I would either squeal in sweetness, laugh hard on their antics or cry because of their emotions. I'm hands-down when it comes to their acting skills. Everyone played their characters well.

10 FOR MUSIC. I'm actually having a bad case of LSS right now because of the songs in this drama. Yeah, I'm a big fan of Kpop music but I found the songs here sweet and well fitted with the story. The emotions of the scenes gets even more emphasized with the help of great music they played here.

100 FOR REWATCH VALUE. No, that was not a typographical error. I could give this one a 100 if there was that option. I could watch this drama over and over and never get tired of it. I would also recommend everyone to watch this drama, even just give it a try. I promise, you won't regret it.

10 FOR OVERALL. I guess this is obvious. This is now one of my favorites. It is a fresh drama with a 'mind blowing' story, talented actors and an epic ending... haha! that was just a teaser guys!

well, I hope my review helped. hehe. have a nice day everyone! :) read more

Drama, you have made a mess of my life for the past week. You've made a Yoo In Na & Ji Hyun Woo fan out of me. The story was awesome. Although the time-skipping part has became cliche' over the first half of 2012, you're the first drama to pull it off amazingly. I was captivated from start to finish, the plot was pulling my heart in every way possible and I loved every second of it. It's the type of drama that makes you care & worry endlessly for the sake of the characters. The chemistry between the cast was outstanding. (Hell, Yoo In Na & Ji Hyun Woo had so much chemistry, they're dating now!) I guess the director knew what he was doing casting them as the lead. They're all so adorable & you can't help but even love the baddies. The music was extremely awesome as well. One of the first drama OSTs I actually sat through and listened to, especially if you know Korean/Look up the translation to the songs, they're all so meaningful and tie in perfectly with the drama itself. I'd watch this drama over a million times if I could, there wasn't one part that didn't have my full attention. One of the best I've seen this year, and now one of my newly favorites. read more
