It was honestly a very light and cute drama and it was exactly what I needed that night, but at the same time...I wasn't to found of the ending. I mean I knew that there was no other way to go about it, but I am still upset. It reminded me of this manga I read when I was in elementary / middle school. This drama wasn't as complicated as this manga...obviously, but the endings reminded me of one another. In the manga, because Tamahome (literally the only character name I remember after all these years) is a character from a book, he cannot follow our main character to her "real" world. Even true love couldn't bring him into her world. BUT what they could do was somewhere down the road, his soul could be reincarnated into someone's body in her world and they could meet again and be together. At the time, I was like this is so romantic and I am super happy, but now after all these years, I didn't feel the same. In the first series, the ending was cute and sweet because he was able to be reincarnated to he could meet her in the modern world but I wasn't a fan of the second series following them after. Tamahome is reincarnated and living as a normal high school boy named Tama who has this deep connection with the main girl and has no idea why. Tama has NO memories of his past life and falling in love with her, and to be completely honest, is a different person entirely and you can see that sadness in the main character. She loves with boy who looks exactly like Tamahome, but isn't him. And it is heartbreaking. Yes, it was supposed to be a happy ending and it was, but my heart broke for the King. After living his life doing everything out of duty including marrying a girl he didn't love, out of nowhere a young high school girl who dressed up as a man and taught him math ended up also teaching him what it means to love someone. Homeboy fell deeply in love with her and was ready to spend the rest of his life with her, even though he wasn't able to make her his wife, he could make her his consort. Not ideal, but not much a King can do in the 1400's after already being married. It was a very sweet relationship that the both of them had, and she was deeply in love with him too, but she ultimately decided to leave because if she stayed, she'd just be running away still. She wanted to face reality and prove to herself that she was smart and capable. Unfortunately, she didn't feel like she would be able to do that in ancient Korea. It was heartbreaking to think about the King having to say goodbye to her and him loosing the one person who taught him love and also taught him, as well, that he is capable of ruling a kingdom with his ideas. I realize that not everyone will be with their first love forever and this is the same thing, but it kills me inside a little that right before he left he said that no matter how long it will take, that they would meet again. Romantic af, and a little foreshadowing, but also it is sad to think that he had to say goodbye to her and live the rest of his life without the woman that he loves. Then we go to modern time and she ends up meeting his "reincarnation" or who we think is his reincarnation, half a year later, due to his looks. They end up meeting and the drama ends there. He says something along the lines of how he knows that they have met before and it is cute because she thinks it is because of when they fell in love when he was a king, but you learn that they had actually kind of met in the first few minutes of the drama when she left her umbrella on the bus and he tried to return it to her and failed. Regardless, that is cute. Yes. I am happy. But I couldn't help but think of that manga. Sure this new reincarnation could be better than the King ever was OR maybe he isn't his reincarnation at all, but in her mind, she chooses to see the King in him. Who knows? But I also feel bad for the modern guy because just like Tama, he is going to have some shoes to fill. My final thought about the drama is that...why couldn't it had ended up Inuyasha?? Yes, this drama is more "modern" and it's great to see a female lead chose herself and her self worth over being with her first love, but homegirl could have had both I think. Shoot, girl get yourself written in textbooks as the first woman to invent stuff. Yes, it would take years for a woman to be seen as an inventor, but you could start a movement. I know I am being too hopeful LOL. I know everything in this drama is the way it was supposed to happen, but just thinking about that manga and Inuyasha...it makes me think about what could have happened. No one is at fault, and I am not mad at the girl for leaving. I am just a little bummed.
