Don't take the synopsis as accurate, it's about 90% misinformation. If you take it as what it is, it makes it seem like the FL is some prickly actress in real life verses her public self, and the ML is the only one that knows her true intentions as he frantically tries to keep her public image in tact. That's not the story AT ALL! I was shocked when I read it back after I was done watching, because it reinvents what actually happened in a big way. I won't say how exactly, because that would spoil it, but it has that psychological tag for a reason. I loved this drama so much, in a lot of ways. For one, I think this is the first kdrama I've seen that has so many foreign actors, and they're GOOD! The main one aside, obviously, there was people they met on their travels, the interactions with Ho-Jin (especially with his restaurant friends), and just in general. It was so cool to see so many different faces. Another thing I loved was the whole mystery around Do Ra-Mi and the way she progressed in the story. I highly recommend watching if you haven't done so! The romance is great, but a bit on the slower side until the last few episodes, when it really heats up. I like slow burns, so I loved it, but I know there are some out there that like the faster paced style. Hiro was such a great addition as well.
I had so much fun with this drama! The leads are so freaking adorable. I love seeing couples that can't keep their hands (and lips) off each other after they get together. Im Ji Yeon is quickly becoming one of, if not my favorite drama actresses. She is so funny, beautiful, and steals whatever scene she is in. Heo Nam Jun also did a fabulous job at never hiding the yearning he had for her in his character. Their banter was some of the best moments in the series. I think the people that are giving bad reviews to this drama because of the last few episodes, are taking the drama way too seriously. It's a time travel drama and people are trying to make sense of something that isn't real. To be honest, the time travel stuff and the whole past lives make sense to me. The only things that I could have used more explanation on were Se Gye's family. I have so many questions, but it still doesn't take away my enjoyment of this series.
This was such a good watch! I haven't seen a BL in a minute, and the production quality of this show is impeccable. The pacing is great, sets are nice, chemistry and acting between all the characters was fantastic, and so many cute, funny scenes. The only downside is if you came for the vampire lore, you are going to be a bit disappointed. There isn't a lot of consistency or clarity on what this universe's vampires can do or are affected by. But honestly, I kind of forget about it watching the relationship bloom, and it's still fine.
This was so good! Perfect light-hearted historical romance. This was also one of the few dramas I've seen that I actually feel for the SML. While it was inevitable who she was going to end up with, I still think he had a chance for a good while. The only thing that set me back from giving this a perfect score, was that I think they could have shown more of So Rang yearning for the king. Don't get me wrong, they do have great chemistry, and you can feel they do love each other, it just feels a little sudden on her part. Like I didn't realize she cared about being a replacement for the dead princess until that point, because I hadn't known she'd fallen for him.
Not bad. Some of the comments and reviews are a bit harsh, but I think it's a solid 7.5/10. It's really cute and there are some really funny scenes, especially if you know the references. It's just a bit clunky at times.
Watching episode 1. So far looks like a rip off of Hometown Cha Cha Cha. Undecided if I'm going to watch any more…
If you haven't seen anymore episodes yet, it's not like HCCC at all. At least, not in the way you are thinking. There are a few similarities, but it's the same similarities in a dozen other dramas.
This was not what I expected, and I love that! I think some parts were a bit over-dramatic, but that's totally fine, as the rest was great and hilarious. I love the ML, but I was waiting for so long for him to connect the dots. He was right there, and then back tracked. I was also really worried about Jun Hwa. I didn't want him to turn out as the villain, and I'm so glad they all stayed friends. Totally recommend if you love historical rom-coms, with some nice political intrigue on top.
The production of this drama is amazing. The costumes were fantastic and the humor was pretty funny. Personally, I felt there was something off about it, and I'm not sure what. The actors are good, it looks nice, there were some heart-wrenching moments, but I found myself struggling to keep watching. I did finish the series, but it was very bitter.
Loved this season and my favorite soft boxing men! Gunwoo is such a pure soul and I love his brotherhood with Woojin in both last season and this one. I understand his feelings at the end, but I believe he wont change much from the Gunwoo we know. Or Woojin too for that matter. I know they'll still be the sweethearts I know. There's an opening for season 3, and if it happens, I'm all for it!
I really enjoyed this for the most part. It's nothing super heavy in terms of drama with the couple, but I really think his trauma from the years of abuse from his grandmother should have been explored more. I'm a positive person, so a road to forgiveness I can understand, but even I wouldn't forgive so quickly. Overall, it was fun and reminded me of Business Proposal in a good way.
I think this dragged a bit in parts, but overall it was pretty solid as a drama and the premise was interesting and original. There is one trope toward the end that I don't like, but I think the reason for it is more justified than I've seen in other dramas. I also wish there was more of Hong Hak and Yoon Ah. They kind of drop them in the last third of the series except for some bit scenes, but I wanted them to develop more. It's worth a watch if you've got the time.
This is a great series! A whole lot of fun and just enough drama to give impact. While I would have liked to see more of the romance, I felt it was justified given the nature of the series. Plus the moments we do have are so delightful. Seo Kang Jun is the best, but I loved Jin Ki Joo's story line a lot. I love how she had her own battle to fight and that she was not reliant on the main plot. The NIS team are hilarious and I loved every moment with them! Totally will watch again!
