Honestly, I was excited as this drama was announced. I liked the story, so I was sure I would wach it when it aired, but then there was a changed in the storyline. I have to say that I don't know the webtoon, so I didn't know what I had to expect. The story was great...at first. However, after it changed to a sageuk drama I dropped the drama. That was, when it aired. Now, a few days ago I wanted to watch a drama with less than 16 episodes, so I decided to end this drama. I skipped most of the historical scenes, because in my opinion it was too much. I mean, why did they go back to a long time ago? I didn't understand it. Well, maybe I didn't wanted to know it. Honestly, the one and only reason I watched this after months until the end was Yeo Jingoo. I watched him in Warrior Baek Dongsoo, where he played the younger version of Dongsoo (later played by Ji Changwook). In that drama I loved his acting, so I wanted to watch this drama. He was the best Actor in this whole drama (in my opinion). But sadly he couldn't save it. Seolhyun...She is a good dancer, but her acting is...not good (I could say awful, but I think it is too harsh). Normally, I don't expect much from Idols when it comes to acting, but I thought she would be better than Hyeri (In my opinion Hyeri is a better actress, after I watched her in Replay 1988). All in all I was not satisfied with her acting. In the end I shipped Jaemin with Ahra. Lee Jonghyun of CNBlue was okay, i think he has potential, although I liked him in Gentlemen's Dignity better. Gil Eunhye was better than Seolhyun, but she could have be better, too. The music was good. It suits the theme and the storyline, but in my opionion it wasn't special v.v Lastly, I haven't the desire to watch it again. If I would do it, I would watch the modern scenes with Yeo Jingoo, but no more v.v However, I would recommend it unless you a big fan of one of the main actors.
