The pure joy of natural fantasy

Knowing nothing about the novel and the anime, I tried this drama only because they started translating it in my mother tongue. What a pleasant surprise! Absorbing, refreshing, beautiful fairy tale for all ages, approximately fast growing without useless scenes.

Absolutely adorable and sympathetic cast combined with their great acting, both building up memorable characters - this is what gives this drama its unique charm. Exceptional team work, girls and boys! In addition, there are perfect and perfectly fitting visual effects, very good background music and excellent cameramen work. All these turn up this fantasy drama to look so natural.

Eagerly waiting for Season 2.

It starts as an excellent strong satire, softens at the end and the ending is not as remarkable as desired, but the truth is - the ending didn't manage to change my impression of the whole drama at all.

To understand this drama and get fully entertained and really really laugh, some knowledge about Joseon era needed. That's why I don't recommend it as a first historical K-drama, unless you already know Joseon history from other sources different than dramas.
