This drama was beautifully made, from the outstanding storyline to the heartfelt music- everything was perfect. I didn't have any moments where I was bored and wanted to drop it. It was truly moving. If you like romance and comedy and you haven't watched this yet, you are missing out on SO much I can't even begin to explain. So get a start on it now! :D Don't be put off by the historical theme as it is very well incorporated into the story, a majority of the drama is spent in the modern times. You will NOT be disappointed. In fact you'll probably start loving historical dramas after this. Story- As I said before, the plot of this drama is really unique. Of course there are many time-traveling drama out this year but that doesn't stop this drama from being put into that stereotypical genre. It had a many mind blowing twists which were not disappointing. I really liked the riddle and mystery that we were left wondering about. Of course, the drama does not fail to bring an interesting conclusion which answers all your questions. Also, you will be hooked until the last episode. The magic of the Joseon era combined with the modern era is all bundled up to make this drama; the best drama of the year. Acting/Cast- The cast were great! Quite a lot of famous people like Yoochun and Han Ji Min, who are well known for their great acting, were present and contributed well. I'm glad they picked Yoochun to be the character he plays because he did an excellent job on his part. I heard that he also received two awards because of his acting in this drama. The villains here were hated intensely by a lot of the viewers and this means that the actors did an absolutely tremendous job. Everyone who's seen this will agree that the 3 funny side kicks were one of the main reasons why they enjoyed this. They were hilarious at times but also serious when they were required to be. Also I recognized Lee Min Ho/Man Bo. He was also in another historical drama with Yoochun (Sungkyunkwan Scandal) and I watched that one two dramas before this one so I was so glad to see him finally appear more often. His acting was great. :) Music- The soundtrack selected for this drama was absolutely flawless. The sad scenes were matched with heart-breaking songs which literally made me cry. The funny scenes had a playful tune and made me feel so happy (Yes, I found myself smiling like an idiot at times XD) Also Jay Park's song is in this OST which was really surprising for me at first because once you hear his voice you will fall in love with him. Rewatch Value- I would NEVER rewatch dramas mainly because of the fact that I already know what happens but I think I'd really like to watch this one again and experience all the fun and sad times that this drama has to offer. I'd watch this with someone special.. like a boyfriend or someone. hehe ^^ To sum this drama up in one word it would be: Indescribable Tears of both happiness and sadness were shed. ;-;
