My point is this drama even so it rank 51 its still way underrated my drama society; so i feel responsible to encourage people to see it may be one or 2 will watch it after my review.
Story:
the 49 days idea is used by several drama before and after however; this one tops them all; its in own league.
1. it shows how life is precious and how when a second chsnce appear u should not miss it.
2. the links between the scheduler and Song Yi Kyung is so good; this side story actually tops the original one in all ways; its make u feel sad, emotional and struck every feeling u have.
3. the idea of discovering the true love which was beside u all years but never been realized is executed almost perfectly MAY BE THIS WILL CURE PPL WITH 2ND LEAD SYNDROME ;)
4. Finally the closure even so it didnt go the way i wanted but it show that destiny and fate in inevitable
Music:
usually i dont write about music much; but i decided here to mention it way early due to importance and impact.
do u know the feeling when u download a song and listen to it dozen times for a week or so; yes the ost give u this feeling and combine it with video u will cry each time.
definitely u will re watch video of ost on youtube for couple of times
Actors:
1.Lee Yo Won(Song Yi Kyung) and Jung Il Woo(Scheduler ) i mention them before the main actors as they represent for me the best side story in any drama (better than any original story) which can hold itself alone actually they could had done the series on both of them only.
Nevertheless; the sorriness of Jung Il Woo(Scheduler)and his loneliness and way he look at Lee Yo Won(Song Yi Kyung) make me shed tears everytime. his watching in shadows wishing a second chance to appologize to his true love. AND the acting in the ending ohh my god was so good.
2.the main actors esp Nam Gyu Ri(Shin Ji Hyun)acted well also. the looks of regret on both of them and love for each other was so good. not to mention Nam Gyu Ri(Shin Ji Hyun) scenes when watching her parents was heart breaking for me
3. all other actors excelled in this drama esp the villains show how they where greedy and jealous and so vicious but at same time had hidden human feeling where they were trying to hang on their last shred of humanity.
Rewatch: i can rewatch it i think 2 more times but nothing more as iam not fan of rewatching so even considering it applicable for being rewatch is big deal to me

This drama is almost perfect in every aspect.Story: the story is done in several films and japanese dramas before however this one topped them all for me. New elements where added that made me more emotionally attached to this drama.
I will not explain the story.... to avoid any spoilers (u can read summary above) however; i should say i didnt give story 10/10 due to the ending even so the ending was ok but it wasnt the perfect one for me; i wanted or wished that they executed a better ending.
Acting: Jo In Sung and Song Hye Kyo (main roles) are almost the perfect match ; never i was rooting or emotionally attached to drama couple like this before. They were flawless in every seen together; the chemistry was over the top.
The sad scenes where acted perfectly which made me shed couple tears.
the idea of forbidden love was also been acted so well.
music: if u ask me what i like most about this drama i will tell u scenes when main roles together with music at the background.
Yes YES the music was for me the single best thing in this show and it all summarized in one word THE ONE .
thank u THE ONE for doing the 2nd best ost in korean drama for me
Rewatch value; iam not big fan of rewatching but i rewatched some episodes again which mean that this drama has impacted me also i watched some youtube videos about this drama
Overall it 9 from 10 and it almost got 10 but the ending was mainly the cause if u ask me its
A MUST TO WATCH DRAMA

I decided to write review about this drama because i only watched it accidentally as it was advertised or over-hyped from where iam.
Even so its Ranked: #54 and its Popularity: #13 i think its still underrated as it should be in top 10 kdramas.
May be my review (i wish) will help and encourage to watch this drama and not miss this marvelous experience.
Story:
I will not write the story so not to spoil it but the summary description here is not very good.
The general idea is about 2 sisters one good and other bad. Moreover; it shows how u can sometimes and sadly not see the true love match which in front of u as u are concentrated on the wrong person.
Also; the movement between old and modern world is amazing actually i like thee linking between them and the idea reincarnation here as its executed excellently.
The story has sad funny emotional suspense aspects all that u need in good drama not to miss off course the romantic part of this story (which one of the best romance stories out there)
Acting:
i will not go in details here on the acting as they were all (main and supporting roles) almost perfect.
I liked specially the king servants they had quit funny scenes and they made me laugh quiet a bit.
Not to mention; the sad scenes were heart breaking and it wil make u shed some tears.
Music:
10 offcourse on of my top ost in all time. i downloaded it instantly and listen to it once a while as it bring bad memories about this drama.
Even if u not watch this drama search for the ost; i almost guarantee that u will like it.
Rewatch:
I don't rewatch dramas again but i rewatched some episodes in this drama again which means that this drama left an effect on me even after 1 year.
this indicate that its a good drama that will make u emotionally attached to it.
Overall: a MUST TO WATCH DRAMA THAT SHOULD BE ONE OF TOP 10 KDRAMAS

1. story 10/10; the story is well written and the pacing is goo; it keeps u always on suspense. The side characters (e,g, seol) are very good and with depth. The love of Princess Minhwa and Heo Yeom was amazing it took my attention more than the main leads. Not to mention; the idea of 2 suns and 2 moons also was very good and its shows how ppl are torn away due other politics and greed.
However; the ending is bad (not very sad) but doesnt make sense in lot of things.
2.Acting 8/10 if could given the children easily 10/10 their acting was superb and made me even cry but the adult yeon Woo didnt click with me.
i felt that she had same expression each time; she practically look sad and cry only and that not acting. In otherhand Prince Yang Myung acting was actually what i loved most in this drama; he know when to cry, when to be sad, when to funny and when to act series. Moreover; he made me cry almost each time he look at yeon woo; the sorrow and sadness of him seeing the person he loved taken by his brother was almost devastating to me and made me shed lot of tears.
3.music 7/10 (OST) its good but not excellent like some other dramas e.g. 49 days and winter blows. But i wasnt interested in ost here but had some good music in some scenes
rewatch value 7/10 i usually dont rewatch dramas again but this maybe in after couple years where i will have forget lot of scenes
Overall 8/10: this is considered high in my list i usually give only 7 in score in only have 3 dramas above this.
i recomend this dramas to anyone ppl that love comedy romance morals historical melodrama and action this drama has it all.
it will be considered a lost if u skip this drama
