Onto a great roll!

I'm enjoying this Korean drama so much! It's absolutely hilarious at some parts (like literally laugh out loud moments). Definitely some fresh comedy/scenes compared to other Korean rom-coms.



Loved the elevator scene and the Crown Prince's naivety. I also love how he explores our modern world. Not to mention how he came across the fashion show and his interaction with his "cousin". Too funny!



YooChun has definitely improved since SKKS!

Not as good as first 2 ep, but still interested

It wasn't as exciting as the first 2 episodes, but you have to expect some slow episodes in a drama to keep it going. This episode was more about the brotherly bonding between the guys and their struggle to make it to the top. It showed the guys... and Seung Yeon at boot camp which is a common thing to do for many trainees. So much bromance, I died :D. I already ship Ki Bum and Hyun Seung :P. Another main point in this episode shows how lonely Woo Hyun really is, hinting Seung Yeon will change that ;). This episode wasn't that slow, but it wasn't that fast either. It was a good episode overall I just felt more could have been given, I honestly felt that somes scenes in this episodes could have been cut to give more airtime to develop the love lines a bit more.

WARNING! Joseon Men Changing in Elevator :D

This was such a hilarious episode :D I wish I could upload some screenshots :P

Well, the plot is getting more and more interesting and more more further to discovering how the crown princess died...

I honestly don't know how they are going back to the story with which they started, though I'm not complaining, this story is interesting too (something in the back of my mind is very curious to know who and why killed her).

Top scenes of the episode: 4 men changing in elevator, while the door opens on the floor where women are doing aerobics, then to underage students :P, breathing helium gas :D OMG, YooChun's voice, Bak-Ha's head on the prince's shoulder and his face while pushing it away, and then giving up :P, YooChun's face while watching girls in bikinis on the runway...

The saddest moment... his face when he saw his long lost love, ruined the show, hugged her, started crying and got slapped... (why do you even need her? come to me! ^^)

Nice episode

The first episode was cute. I liked that 70's air. The clothes, the taxis and the busses, and even the student's behaviour got me into that atmosphere. I liked some qoutes :D. And the director's style is something new for me ^^.

But it was a bit rushed, even if I felt like nothing really happened..

I look forward to watch the next episode, I hope it's going to be better than the first one.

interresting start

I can't say it was an exciting episode, mostly about politics, but it was interresting, introducing the 2 main characters, scientists working on an oil platform in the sea, ruled by north and south korea. I will need to see more to have an opinion.

The Anti Climax

They should have ended the series with ep 28 instead of leaving us with such a dis-satifactory ending in ep 29. Basically, the only event happening in this episode is killing off Yeo Woon, followed by sudden focus on romances to give the "happily ever after" feel. And it just feels ridiculous, because the pain of Yeo Woon is still so fresh on our minds, How can the characters be so joyful and go on as if everything is perfect?



I had read beforehand that Yeo Woon will be killed off in the last episode, and though I wasn't the biggest Yeo Woon fan throughout, by the end of Ep 28 I was dreading it and I put off watching the last episode as much as I could. When I did watch it, I really don't know what to think.



Why would any one want to chop off a main lead character using other main characters in the very last bit of the drama? Why were so many misunderstandings placed NOW?



Here's what the last episode left me with:

-Feeling sorry and sad for Yeo Woon, for having to live such an unlucky and hard life, and being misunderstood on top of that.

-Angry at Cho Rip. Was there always such a selfish person under the timid face?

-Dissatisfied with Prince Heir. When did he become so revengeful?

-A bit irked at Dong Soo. After everything, does he still doubt Yeo Woon's intentions?

-And most importantly, What about ALL the talk about making your own destiny. Why does it not work for Yeo Woon alone??



To reiterate, I think - it was a very unnecessary killing of a character who had been developed thus far as strongly as Dong Soo.

Nothing that happens in the final episode is necessary or adds anything to the characters. If you wish to leave the drama on a positive note, better to leave it at ep 28.

Passive Personalities!!!

There wasn't much dialogue, but the episode didn't need it. The emotion got through without all the words. The bad thing about ep 1? Passive Personalities!!! The sort of personalities that don't fight for what they want, and just others walk all over them, and it would be ok if one person had that personality, but the thing is that both the leads have the same personality!! I would like to see the leads stick up for themselves a little more in the next episode.

The best episode

Probably the best and most satisfying episode of the drama so far..there is beauty and grandeur in the main fight sequence..the various major characters come together, especially, Dong Su and Yeo Woon become their closest ever as brothers, which is truly heart warming to watch.

But it ends on a disturbing note..

Hilarious

Episode 2 was much better.

The 4 Joseon-era men in modern day S. Korea was just hilarious and a joy to watch.

I wouldn't mind watching an entire show that focused on those four and their endeavors in the modern world.

I found myself fast forwarding scenes just to get to the King and his gang dealing with modernity.



Interesting to see where the drama will go from here.

pfft~

It's so fun to watch and guess what's happening next :P

I mean, I just knew this episode was going to end with a kiss, the moment they bumped their heads together :P

Though, I guess, this drama is not going to be anything big, deep, forever-my-favourite-drama, I honestly, don't expect it to be, it still gives me enjoyment, this kind of drama should ^^

Yoo-Hwan, kiyowoyo!!! ^^

Funny~

This has become even funnier!!!

Woo-Hyun is already caught! :D I laughed soo hard, when they were acting (actually only Seung-Yeon was acting, and he was staring) a romantic scene, and she suddenly pounced on him... he looked so innocent (opposite to his cool image)!!! haha~

Or when the other guys were trying to help her change her clothes in the army, and both Ji-Woo and Seung-Yeon shouted 'Ani, twesso!!!':D

And I'll give Woo-Hyun his credit, as he is already not content not seeing her by his side, even again painting the blue mark around his eye to make her be his slave a little more time... it's a pity it didn't work with her... fate has more interesting things for you, guys, I think :P

MBLAQ?!?!?

Sadly, no. But it does start with parts of MBLAQ's "It's War" and then some of "Mona Lisa" from last year to which I automatically started to sing along. But there is a cameo, which is the only thing I liked about the drama. Ok, although the main guy is NO eyecandy and he's an idiot who thinks he can walk on water, she is even more annoying. She's loud and just...ugh. The other characters....meh. This episode was also very predictable and I barely made it through it. So, this is where my journey with this drama will come to an end...
