For this drama I can honestly say that it's one of my all time favorites and possibly the best drama of this year thus far. At the begging it starts off lightly, as a romantic comedy. What I love about it is that it keeps getting better and more interesting. Unlike most of the Korean dramas it is not flooded with unnecessary characters and obvious outcomes. It doesn't get at that point were it's obvious that writers have no idea what to do next and are only streching the events to continue the drama.
As much as it is fantasy oriented it carries it pretty realistic and rational. I am in love with the main characters as they always surprise us with their actions, and the actors did an amazing job. The female lead Hee Jin is bubbly, fun, and I like that she was the person to trigger the romance between them. She was the one to make the first step and did it in unexpected situations, completely spontaneous. The lead, Kim Bang Doo, will probably immediately grow on you. Even though he was born and raised in a completely different century he is extremely quick and witty catching up with all the changes that happened in past 300 years.
As I previously mentioned, thanks to the amazing writers and actors this drama carries the crucial moments of sadness and pain extremely well. All the issues actually make sense, there is no 3rd person to mess with their heads, cause stupid incidents to drift the leads away.
Another thing I would like to mention ~their relationship. As Korean dramas are known to be extremely innocent with the whole woman/man expressing emotions, QIHM is very convincing in showing that leads are very much in love with each other and are passionate when we are at it. We get to watch a big number of romantic and (real) kissing scenes that most Korean dramas do not have even combined.
As for the OST, it is pretty solid. The two ballads, I'm Going To Meet You and Same sky, different time are probably two of my favorite songs from an OST as far this year, too. The lyrics are beautiful and extremely well written to stay true to the drama and express the emotions of the characters. Also, I always appreciate it when there are traditional instruments incorporated in the melody.
As for the re watching, I must mention that even before QIHM ended I found myself wanting to re watch previous episodes while waiting for the new ones, and I did so. I even watched the new ones RAW, failing to fight my impatience.
