Director's work. Must watch for the cinematography, directing, editing, poetry, arts, romance, life and Lee YoungAe and Song Seung Heon's magical chemistry.
While poor reedits on SBS's part make this one somewhat uneven, the core story is also a romance between young lovers who bond partly through their love of painting, and who are separated due to royal machinations.
I enjoyed the time slip aspect of both dramas. Saimdang focuses more on that aspect by including more scenes in the present. Don’t let its rating fool you. I really enjoyed it. Both dramas feature a strong female lead fighting for what is right.
Epic love story between the male and female leads while enduring extreme hardships. Life experience is needed to grasp the depth of both dramas. Masterpieces both (this includes My Dearest 2 which is just the continuation, not a second season, of My Dearest).
