Fantasy is the genre I avoid the most. But as you see I really like this drama so much. It managed to capture my heart from the start and it continued so beautifully, then painfully. I always fall for these drama traps; when it start out light and likable then enters your heart discreetly and cause you pain.

This was my first time watching Kim Nam Gil (this review is from March 2020)…Kim Nam Gil’s acting amused me and made me so emotionally invested. He managed to play a laugh-out-loud funny character, but also the painful look in his eyes was no joke, his attitudes, his actions. Yeah he was the star.

The drama had a very interesting content; oriental medicine, and managed to not bore me like the usual routine of medical dramas. Also the time travel thing did not feel cliche, overdone, or badly executed. It was very interesting, fun, and meaningful. It was quite unique here.

The chemistry was very much there, but most importantly, the story was carried perfectly, without leaving any uninteresting holes or spots.

The music fitted the theme very well and grew on me. The OST reminds me of earlier dramas feeling in a nostalgic way.
The historical-modern interactions and attitudes were interesting.

It is not easy for me to like a female lead like Yeon Kyung. I don’t like female leads similar to her. But She managed to play a strong person but still a fragile and delicate female.

That is how it is supposed to feel. Yes it feels sad and happy, but not torturously, heart-wrenchingly depressing. This is how a kdrama is supposed to feel like.

Ah Kim Nam Gil is now one of my favourite actors.
