Excellent story

I feel like I watched a different drama than some of the other reviewers. This story had me involved from episode 1 and that doesn't happen with every drama. It usually takes a couple episodes to decide if I will continue with a story or not.

I like fantasy, parallel universes, timelines, etc. so this didn't throw me. One of my favorite TV shows of all time is Fringe. Both leads were amazing. It was my first time to watch a drama with Lee Min-ho. Some reviewers said his performance was wooden, but isn't that because he plays a king who must not let his emotions betray his thinking? Was his character drinking in information as he was trying to assess the situation and plan his next move? The FL was perfection for sure, strong, confident, just, kind, and a complete bada$$. I loved the minimal dialogue between them at times, yet it conveyed their feelings too. A reviewer had commented that Jeong Tae-Eul turned into basically a wimp as the story progressed, how so? Late in the series after she's already in love, she fights here way out of captivity. That she is soft, emotional, & vulnerable with the man she is deeply in love with is natural. He is the same with her.

Please do ignore the negative reviews for this drama and try it on for yourself.

Beautiful and Complicated

Such a beautiful story of two people falling deeply in love. A complicated story for many reasons, but ultimately the female lead had to grow on an emotional level. Particularly to free herself on her own terms and not be saved, because that would've been too easy. I enjoyed the other plotline involving sexual harassment, an important topic for women worldwide.

I will look for more dramas with Son Ye-jin, Jung Hae-in, and Jang So Yeon. They were amazing in this drama, especially Son Ye-jin.

I enjoy quite a few genres, but particularly enjoy a story that is a slice of life.

This drama was extraordinary.
