Learning about history is acquiring power...

I love this drama. It gets better with each episode and these two main characters have so much chemistry together.





I loved the scene where her friend/manager offers him a ride to the park after she sees the two of them together. And how Hee Jin acts as if she's an embarrassing parent who just caught her red handed doing things she shouldn't be doing. I also love her lie, how she says he's helping her to learn about history for her drama. (I think that's what she says since she yells "yeoksa"). Although technically it wasn't a lie since he was looking up Joseon's history during king Suk Jong's reign, even if she wasn't.



I thought it was sort of ironic how she was so depressed when she finds out he died a certain day when he was already dead long before she was born.



And also, how he managed to survive a poisoning because he threw out the food (poor rats who did eat it) he was given since he already knew how he died. I wonder what changes that will bring to the history, since something already changed when he didn't die poisoned like he originally did.

Well delivered character revelations and "One man's confusion is my amusement"

Episode three passed just like that. It was intriguing and whole lot of fun. We finally can see the main characters together for a long time and thus can witness the chemistry and what not between them. But what I can say is: these two make me so giddy! I don't really have nothing to say about the happenings, since this episode was all about seeing Choi Hee Jin and Park Boong Do together and the potential love sparks between them.



I know throughout my episode reviews I have praised Ji Hyun Woo, but I can't help it. He just knows how to reach to me in a way that no other has done, and that is just through his acting. I love how Park Boong Do (Ji Hyun Woo) is presented during his most confused time. And even then he stands high and just plain simply curious. It shows that he is a scholar, from how intelligent and brave he is - he just grasps things easily and doesn't take his confusion out of others. I just absolutely love how they have characterized Boong Do, and how freakin' natural it is!



As for Yoo In Ah, our so cute protagonist - I am a bit dubious about. And I blame that for always seeing her as a secondary character. She does deliver the cute and lovely so well, and in this episode we saw that she actually can bring out the hurt as well. So I am so excited to see more of her... Hopefully the heartbreaking moments the main characters will go through will be well delivered. Because I can see myself potentially tear for this girl.

Everyone should disappear...

So... this is a time slip, they are in the future, but at the same time somehow connected to the present... I like the connection, I like that they can communicate with their loved ones, I like that Yuka's student came to her father's shop and found out the truth...

I did not expect the teacher, who in the first episode said 'sometimes we have to be fathers to our students' suddenly go crazy and try to kill his student...

What's wrong with the teachers in this school? Who could ever take the crazy chick in red coat as a teacher to school, she's a psycho in my eyes...

Yuka~, don't kill that bastard, you're going to hurt more than him, onegai!!!

*rushed to watch the next episode*

"It's a very nice world..."

I'm loving this drama more and more. It's cute, funny (without being overboard), yet it has a serious note under it all.



I find myself repeating this again, but I have to say it. The main guy is not eyecandy, but I just can't help but melt a little when he smiles. It's adorkable. I love how he basically only needs to be shown things once to get the hang of things. And the way he was so at peace trapped in her shower, it was priceless. He almost looked like a statue in a museum.



And I love how she teaches him the modern day "etiquette" for farewells. And how he seems to enjoy to be able to hug a woman without it being a big deal.



I also like that he asks "You are considered a beauty here?"...jejeje

Trapped in a shower box

That a super tall man dressed in a 300 year old gown, should be locked - with a ribbon, no less - inside a shower box and still look composed and dignified made me laugh and fall for him at the same time.

This character is growing on me as much as he is so blatantly growing on Hee Jin. I anticipate sparks.

I like Hee Jin a lot too: although still confused, she's not left in the dark about the whole time travel and starts to grasp it herself. At last a drama where both the female lead as well as the viewers are watching the truth unraveling in front of their eyes, and not left suspended until the last 5 minutes. All this without taking out the mystery.
