A tragedy that would leave you longing for the pain.
It’s my third time watching this show and it still gives me the same intense feelings I got after my first watch. One of my faves of all time.First, the plot and writing was brilliant. One can easily discern how the writers thought hard and well about each part of the story, since unlike other dramas, I never found the need to skip any of the side characters. They were all equally playing their respective roles to the bigger story. Wow. The pace was also brilliant. Each episode gave you something and you’ll never really find the need to overlook anything. Totally binge worthy.
Acting. Ohmygoodness the acting. Lee Joon Gi and Kang Haneul were both so good in pulling off complex characters. You could feel their raw emotions and how they managed to pull off these unrealistic scenes, brilliant. IU was also equally good, but the two main princes were the main ones for me. Even the other princes were amazing, considering that some of them were acting for the first time for major roles.
Characters. Damn, never have I seen a drama bring two spectacular characters to life. So and wook, these two were the main dishes of this drama. Wook, especially got my attention. How the writers and Haneul were able to show an understandable shift from good to evil, wow. It was too amazing. Each of his actions were calculated well, and you can really understand his reasons behind everything. Probably one of my fictional characters of all time.
If there’s anything I didn’t like, they were the last two episodes. Despite how the writers were able to pull of complex character arcs, it was kind or frustrating to see Soo and So give up on each other for reasons that seemed petty. I believe there were deeper reasons that could only be explained through theories (such as soo leaving to save her child from the palace), but I wish they spared a few episodes to show these reasons so the whole drama could not have been spoiled. I mean, how can So, who gave way to Soo in so many instances (even to the point of forgiving her for her distrust that caused Eun’s death) and always understood Soo and even fought for her hard, suddenly become so immature about Soo’s past lover? I Just can’t comprehend.
Putting that aside, I still love this drama and it will always be at the top of my list. I love how it’s unconventional. It steered away from your typical rom com that’s too afraid to go for a tragic ending. This story may be a tragedy, but its execution is the complete opposite of a tragedy, pure genius.

Was it worth it: Absolutely.
What I liked the most: The pacing was spectacular.
What I disliked the most: The 10th price annoyed the crap out of me 85% of the time he was on screen.
Moment Meter: 6/10 – I’m torn on this one. A moment to me may not seem like one to others.
Other thoughts: This drama flew by for me. I was astounded to find I had less than a handful of episodes left when it felt like there should have been more. This is an achievement for a Sageuk. I swooned for Joon Gi as I do every time I watch a drama of his. IU also did an excellent job. The female characters had very active roles and remained vocal to the end; again, something that’s hard to find in a Sageuk and something that I value highly. I had a hard time finding the reason why IU’s character had to be a time-traveler, but it was made very clear at the end. There are a lot of characters, but not as many as you think, so try not to get too overwhelmed. All of the casting was spot on, and I actually downloaded a song from the show to put on my phone (Im Seon Hye – Will be Back). The ending was left wide open for a continuation, though I’m scared that it may not be as good and drag this one down.
Conclusion: The story moved along well and there was a little bit of something for everyone. Pro Tip: Don’t get emotionally attached to any of the characters. You will regret it.

This drama is really great . It's a historical drama with the essence of love , hatred And the biggest of them all POWER AND REVENGE ! What extent people can get upto to attain Power ? The emotions in the layer stage could be hard to coupe with , they can be traumatising.
But it's a trap .
The initial target for scarlet heart is the female audience in every aspect . i.e It's a SHOUJO drama initially .
You could find this thing annoying as a male viewer though it may appeal to a female .
The initial direction is poor .
It's like watching Sakura throughout Naruto every 2 minutes ! Lol . . Yeah I said that it's horrible .
The start is not that great , it's below average I would say considering the plot they have decided i.e the historical saga .
The first 8 episodes are pathetic and aimless except some moments . 5/10
I could clearly see why this drama didn't do that good in Korea .
It's coz of the start . It's pathetic and you have to stick to this drama till the end to find it's interests .
Usually when the audience watches something weekly in TV , they want the start to be great .
The next 8 have a great comeback 7/10 It's like things take a total U turn
but the last 4 I swear make up for all the toying and reckless writing the writer has shown .
The last 4 are purely phenomenal , dumbfounding and outstanding to watch . 10/10
And ironically this is against K dramas as they start off great but turn pathetic at the end .
This one starts of pathetic and ends greatly .
Lee Joon Gi is steal the deal of this drama . His expressions , voice and firmness along with cruelty is mesmerizing .
As for soundtrack , it's again disastrous , totally off the track for how it should be in a historical drama except one song that I liked very much
Epik High (ft. Lee Hi)- 'Can You Hear My Heart'
This one song is really good .
Overall it's a great drama . I enjoyed it .
Could have gone better .
Overall
6.5/10
(Only coz of the last 4 episodes ).

It take us to a emotional roller coaster ride and let us longing for another season.
It was my first time seeing LJG acting and I can only repeat HS monologue “If I had not met him, I would not yearn for him. If I did not know him, I would not think of him so much.." I feel "haunted" from his acting skill as the 4th Prince and wanted to see more from him. And I was able to manage to watch most of his past work during the weekly wait of the new episodes. I was totally captured from his acting skill and questioning myself if this was the same actor in the Clown and the King, Iljimae, etc. He is so talented and can totally keep up with the best in Hollywood. I can't wait to see new project from him.
I have seen IU in previous work but she has not make a deep impression to me in the past. But as HS she has elevated herself in a different level. Yes it is hard to shine so brightly next to LJG but she is able to give life to her character very well. I think she is a perfect pick for this roll. So pure, innocent and naive. But always true to herself. Her character is very complex because she is a time traveler. Her action and thought is hard to follow for some viewers but ultimately do not forget that inside of her there is a fight of a modern woman, trying to survive in historical time. She is trying to adapt and fit in but the price is to give up on her true self. Her chemistry with LJG is magical. I can not get enough of the precious moments that they share screen.
Love every one of the other cast. They truly complete this masterpiece.
Love , love , love the music in this drama. "Can you hear my heart" from epik high ft. Lee Hi is now one of my favorite song of the year. I do not mind the rap in a historical drama. I think it is very fitting to the time travel theme, the young cast and it give the drama a fresh breeze. It inspired me to play piano again.
I will miss this drama so so much and hoping to see a sequel or a new project with LJG and IU together :)

The director and executive producer for SHR is Kim Kyu Tae, who is well known for his cinematography where he works with close-ups to show the actors detailed facial expressions and then pulling out to show the settings and location views sparkling with colours and textures. His style is very present in this drama, delivering the atmosphere of each scene and handling transitions very well.
The atmosphere becomes overwhelming when the soundtrack is added. This is the first drama I ever watched where I enjoyed every single piece of music used. The OST is a mix of modern songs (that works well because Soo is from the future) and more classical film compositions that gives of a more ancient feeling (even though we know orchestras weren’t a Goryeo thing). I will be crying for a long, long, long time every time I hear the song “Will Be Back” by Im Sun-hye.
The story is a supernatural type of fantasy. It’s also portrayed in my favourite type of way; where there is a fantasy element/catalyst but it doesn’t take up the whole story and isn’t the biggest part of the main story. The fantasy element in this story is the time travel. It happens straight from the top in the first episode. What it brings with it is the struggle for our main female lead to adapt to her new surroundings and the choices she makes. I would also say it’s more of a supernatural time travel, since she isn’t physically moved, it’s only her soul that is transported.
A drama full of flowerboys and idol actors, can be a scary thing to start watching if you’re not here for your favourite Oppa. However, the director has handled the juniors very well and made them all have their shining moments. And this drama is full of moments for each and every one in the ensemble. The veteran actors that support and lead this drama are all on fire and delivering perfectly.
I would say it’s unnecessary to worry about the novice cast. The idols where more present in the story during the first part, but screen time was slowly phased out until the end where we were left with what I would like to call “the real” actors. This worked well since the atmosphere in this story slowly turns from feel good to tragic, where the real talent was needed. It never really bothered me, because I didn’t notice any lack of talent. I believe this was well handled by the director.
I will give a quick shootout to my favourite characters in this drama.
Park Ji-Young who played the 4th, 3rd and 14th princes mother, Queen Yoo is a true veteran and an excellent actor. Her role was incredibly hard and she pulled it off completely believable. I hated her to bits and constantly wanted to bitchslap her. She helped balance and portray the struggle of acceptance the 4th Prince constantly had, giving a good backstory to his character and his drive and motivations.
Ji Soo playing 14th Prince, is an up and coming actor (should he now be called a veteran after portraying support characters in 7 dramas and two films?) and he truly shined. In the last part of the series his role became more crucial to the story and his screen time showed his potential to become something really big. I will for sure keep my eye out for more dramas with him in the future.
Nam Joo-Hyuk playing 13th prince, is also an up and coming actor (soon to be the lead in his own drama, with 4 previous supporting roles on his resume list) who definitely nailed the role. It was as if this character was written just for him. He has never disappointed me and he is firmly on my list as a very talented actor.
So how were the leads doing? Lee Joon Gi as 4th Prince, Kang Ha-Neul as 8th Prince and of course Lee Ji-Eun (IU) as Hae-Soo. I have high expectations of these leads and would say they delivered to my satisfaction. What was a bit confusing before I got used to it is the different acting styles, that the director didn’t really manage to meld into something complementary of each other.
Lee Joon Gi (4th) is a historical/fantasy veteran, this is his element, this is where he is on fire and burns as the hottest star in Hallyu land. In his scenes he really pulls the show and I get the feeling not only the audience is swept away but also the actors he is acting with. What I love most about this actor is not only how he carries dialogue and can use minimal face gestures to deliver his emotions, but how he actually uses his whole body to convey and tell. It’s electric. I was fully enjoying LJG as an anti-hero in a dark and sometimes truly evil type of role for the first time in his career.
Kang Ha Neul (8th) has sadly passed me by and I have not noticed him in previous dramas. However, he is wonderful and was well casted as the 8th Prince. I believe he did a good job and the difference between him and 4th was very obvious, as it should be since this is a big part of the story.
Lee Ji Eun (Soo) should after this be considered not only an idol but also an actress. I will now stop calling her an “idol-actress” and I think she deserves to get recognition. She was good. She has some talent. I wasn’t really disappointed with the results. I am however hugely disappointed with the director who failed to melt her stiff porcelain doll face for more than a twitch. I am actually just going to guess that this has been so drilled into her during her idol career as a baby doll/Lolita, that she is having troubles moving on from the idol baby open lips constant surprise face. But apparently the Koreans love that kind of shit so… it didn’t bother me the first half of the show, but it did start to bother me the second.
The leads chemistry… personally for me… well, not really. Still I was super invested in the love between Soo and 8 and Soo and 4. Really! I wanted it, I needed it, I was immersed and found it believable. The guys were super hot and I understand that I just don’t get the sex appeal of the type of innocent stiff as a rock thing that Soo brought to the table. You, however, might find this the hottest thing since Pompeii. There’s something there. I just need more response from the woman than what was shown.
The main story is the romance, their lives the character development. This is well paced and well supported by the side plots who all tie in with the main story. How do these people come to know each other, why and how do they all fall in and out of love and friendships. They show that people are not completely black and white. Someone can be loveable but still have a dark side. Especially well written was the story about Wang So (4th Prince) who has a terrifying and tragic past, you can't dismiss it. Even though he changes for the better, going back to a monster is not out of character and never really far away. He is pushed and pulled from all sides.
I’ve been struggling with how to write this review without drawing parallels and comparing to the Chinese drama, how to only describe my impressions of this series excluding my impressions and memory of the story portrayed in the Cdrama. Especially since I know this series was based on the book, which I haven’t read, and not the Cdrama which I have seen. But let’s be honest, I am heavily influenced in my opinion of this drama by my experiences, not only the Cversion but also other historical romantic dramas I have watched, which is how we all form our opinions. Above I have tried to write my review towards both those completely new to this story and those who have watched the Cversion or read the book. I will now get into the comparison with the Cversion.
I am absolutely amazed of the excellent adaption they made with the script. This is not an easy remake to produce. The original book takes place in China and a lot of work has gone into rewriting the setting around the story to become Goryeo era, assigning roles to the historical people but still keeping the main story without destroying the very special core that is so emotional and wonderful. This is not a drama to watch if you want a history lesson, or a drama where you are entitled to become annoyed when it’s not historically correct. It’s a fantasy that borrows times, names and places from the real world and then warps them. But I think it's important for viewers to know, Goryeo era worked different from Joseon era, especially when it came to women rights, how their beauty standards was a real thing (scars are unacceptable in the royal court) and also that the 4th Prince was known to have been thrown away, shunned and he actually did have a scar on his face. There are more things accurate in this drama, but those are the main issues I have seen people question.
I seriously wish the Kversion had 35 episodes as the Cversion! However, I am amazed at how they managed to produce it with 20 episodes. They skipped a third of the Chinese drama and lots of really nice side plots, but it turns out they weren't really needed. Some of the side stories were shuffled around and didn’t happen in the same order as the Cversion. I felt that worked well, but I can’t pretend I wasn’t worried until I realized they had been reordered.
I enjoyed the relationship changes, they were much better portrayed in the Korean version. I do understand them, their changes, their frustration the issues they can't overcome and how Soo feels she needs to get away. But I am wondering if it's the Chinese version that is leaking into my understanding? Because I see fans complaining about different issues in the story development and I can't agree with them. For me, it has been clear as day. So why do I see what others don't see?
I found it much clearer in this version how the love became corrupted and how new love blossomed. How love is different, how we can love people in different ways, even if it’s just as strong. My biggest pet peeve with the Cversion was when Royxy left 8 and moved on to 4. I just didn’t follow that transition and it took some time before I got invested with them. In the Kversion, there is a spark established very early on and the actual moment she moves on is clear as day and very believable.
Some points of comparison I feel I want to mention are:
Prince 13th story and friendship with Soo wasn't built up as well as in the Cdrama. This could be due to them moving his whole arch until the later parts.
I also didn’t really follow Soo's friendship with all the girls. I realize this was a time issue. It happened, we just didn’t see it developing on screen in the Kversion.
I also wish they had built and strengthened 14th relationship with Soo. In the Cversion he constantly nagged her to come out of the palace with him. But perhaps this was enough for people to understand how he was the one who was there for her in the end, how she could trust and chose him to be her safe haven at the very end.
I am surprised of how much airtime they gave 10 without clearly managing to show how he truly came to love his wife. This part is much more clear in the Cversion with just as much airtime.
Again I need to mention that the love changes from 8 to 4 was incredibly well done. And that by the atmosphere, acting, cinematography and cutting. Immensely satisfying.
The 4th Prince had a much deeper and more tragic background than in the Cversion. This suited the story better. I never really thought 4th had the build up for becoming so cruel as he did in the Cversion.
I do miss the kneeling scene from Chinese version. You know the one… the one we all want. Imagine having 8 royal Princes kneeling in the rain for you (well it was because of 13, but Rouxy was the trigger). It was my favourite scene. Though, they did keep the scene where 4 covering her from the rain with his cloak.
The Kversion teased much more action than the Chinese... I was ready for it but it never executed. None the less, since I know the Cversion didn't have that type of all out war/action I am ok with it.
My final conclusion is that Koreans really know how to produce dramas. This adaption is just as good as the Chinese version. I think it’s one of the best dramas I have ever watched and will recommend it. It is definitely on par with the Cversion, both having their own strong points and weak points. I would say this is a must watch for drama lovers who like historical fantasy, can do without really deep political issues and just want to get into the love, rivalry and friendship parts.
As a finishing side note: Should you watch the Cversion before the Kversion?
I really don’t think you have to. But I highly recommend the drama because it's also very good and because it's one of the Chinese classical must watch dramas. Perhaps you know… you can be wild and crazy and start with the Kversion and then go watch the Cversion, because they both hold up equally towards each other. Not to mention the Cversion will surely give you more, much, much more of what you will love about the Kversion. Let me know if that worked for you! I actually wish I still could watch the Cversion for the first time again after watching this.
Thanks for reading I hope I helped make you decide. :)

Stupidity and Nonsense
This drama is a real phenomenon! This is one of the worst dramas I have ever seen. A hopeless plot, a nightmarish acting and generally one big nonsense. I watched it to the end, unable to take my eyes off and not believing that it could be even worse in the next episode. It was worse with each episode. The stupidity and nonsense of this drama struck me so much that I remember it after many years, although I would like to erase this absurdity from my memory :(If I would start listing all the negative points of this drama, I would have run out of space. The only positive note is that Season Two never showed up.
This is the worst review I have given in my life, but seriously, whether looking objectively or subjectively, I did not notice anything positive in this drama. The worst of all was the acting, or rather the fact that acting was missing in this drama. There was only sighing and rolling eyes.

Mind-blowing for the brain dead
Ok so how many people with actual zero sense of emotions, world and love are watching this???I usually don't take this pain to write a review but this show really forced me to.Acting, what acting??? I have seen actor acting thousand times better acting than these popular lads and still not get any recognition. IU and Baekhyun's characters were the worst i have ever seen.
Baekhyun was someone who was using taxpayer's money for no reason. I mean i don't deserve to be a peasant while ppl with his iq are eating delicacies. He rightly deserved to die and in fact a bit earlier would have really soothed my soul. And yeah, IU's character.... I have no words. For god's sake give her a brain. She did not miss the real world, her mobile phone and some good food for even a second. Is she even a human? And why was she lecturing about feminism and moral values to those ppl. Dude, in a foreign land in fact in a foreign time you should maintain a lowkey profile to save your ass. How was she not dead within days with the brain, attitude and oh I am sorry about the looks part.. I mean we all know that saved her. Everyone was falling like domino bruh she could have been a queen in the modern world like that tbh. Girl can you please avoid a love story and think about going back home for a second.. I mean if u r free.
Well whatever it really gave me a psychoanalysis about the dumb audience and yeah you guys forcing me to build stereotypes by giving it a positive review. I see this is the kind of stuff that appeals to morons like you. Congratulations.

As far as the story goes, I am glad. I am glad that they didn't try to change the history of Goryeo and the original version of Scarlet Heart China just to make an ending that will please all the hardcore fans (because many people, including me, who wish there will be one happy ending). I am glad the production team decided to stay true to the original version and produced this drama as a really solid piece of a remake drama.
I can't even start describing how good all the actors portrayed their characters. The development of each and every important characters are there. From the good, to the bad. They really did it well. I love all the actors, although I know I will leave Scarlet Heart with a deeper love to Joon Gi. I started this drama as a Joon Gi fans, and when I watched the first episode I did worry slightly: How if I don't love him here? Am I expecting too much from him?
But I am so glad to breath a proud sigh of relief, as Joon Gi has done a very good job as usual. What I love about him is that he can tackle countless roles and characters which is what is very clear here, by displaying elements of being an heartless to many yet caring prince becoming a somehow "cruel" king in the end.
Now, although I have watched a lot of K-dramas, I am not the one who will listen to their OSTs, until Scarlet Heart Ryeo. I can't stop playing and replaying all the tracks in my phone even when I am writing a review for this drama. All the songs works very well with this drama and I really enjoy listening to all of them. I know I do, since I have been humming ever since.
Well, enough said, I know I will rewatch this drama. Simply because this drama is almost flawless in its delivery - well executed story plot, excellent casting, and brilliant soundtracks, with each episode leaving you wanting more. Recommended!

LJG is such an amazing actor. His acting created such a feeling inside me to rise whenever a sad scene came up (which was often) and made this whole watch absolutely unforgettable. This kdrama is definitely drama that I will never forget. IU's acting I had no problem with. Some people may disagree but I thought she played her character out nicely.
The music was definitely one of my favourite things about this drama. Every time an OST soundtrack played during an episode, it tugged at my heartstrings. Most of the OSTs I remember hearing were sad though. But they were really good songs.
I will definitely rewatch this one day. Ahhh I feel like crying because it's over! Now I'm just left with these super memorable scenes that keep replaying in my head and my fav OST of the kdrama playing in my head. What an unforgettable drama.

Reasons:
1) The storyline makes more sense as compare to the Chinese version.
(The restructuring of some scenes allow the story to be convey in a smoother way)
2) The characters are well made as compared to the Chinese version.
(Each character in this version plays an important role in the events happened in the story... unlike the Chinese version where most of the characters did not leave much impact to the viewers)
- The 4th Prince -
In the Chinese version, the 4th Prince is a very ambitious person where he long for the throne. He can do anything cruel including killing all his brothers in order to become the King. However, in the Korean version, the character has much more humanity. The 4th Prince wanted to become the King in order to protect his love ones (friends and family).
-The 8th Prince-
The 8th Prince in the Korean version has much more impact as compare to the Chinese version. (From the affection of the 8th Prince towards Hae Soo till his helplessness to give up Hae Soo and his greed towards the thrown and the betrayal of the sister..). In the Chinese version, the character of the 8th Prince is just someone who is in love with Hae Soo with not much ability in becoming a King.
-Other characters-
All other characters are well design to fit the storyline in the Korean version. (Some of the characters did not appear in the Chinese version). Although they were not the main character, they all played an important role in the story. Besides the love story between the male and female lead, the love story of the 10th Prince and the 13th Prince were well written.
Overall:
Recommend this drama to those who had watch the Chinese version. If you haven't watch the Chinese version, it's ok.. their good acting, the background music, the editing of the drama, the emotion of the story will definitely make you hook up to this drama!! Have a try~~

This review may contain spoilers
This could have been a great drama, but the author has written a script that has major lead dramas!
I have just watched the last episode of the drama and I can't get over it... the ending was tragic for the main leads... the author of the script had no mercy for them... and this is the main complaint and my low assessment of the plot, which was already saturated from the middle only drama, shocks, misunderstandings between the leads... there was blood spilling, everywhere around were people hungry for power, full of intrigues... it was definitely too much...The beginning promised that it would be a nice romance, but from episode to episode the plot became darker and harder to bear. I don't know, maybe there are fans of such an accumulation of aggression, hatred, jealousy, deceit... but I am not one of them... I would like there to be some balance and for bad deeds to be justice and compensation... but unfortunately this did not happen in the majority cases of this movie...
What I liked.
FL and ML, i.e. Wang So and Hae Soo, played their roles very well for me, to the extent that the character of Hae SO at one point became obsessed with dreams (by the way, I don't know why she had such dreams from the past, if she hadn't experienced it before this life in those times, she just moved there, so how could she know certain situations? I don't know and it wasn't explained) in fact, she contributed to many bad situations... and she was completely unaware of it... she interfered and wanted to save and reconcile all the brothers, which of course was not possible considering that several of them dreamed of becoming emperor, so they pursued it by all means. Hae Soo allowed herself to be unnecessarily drawn into these intrigues. Her attitude pissed me off when she already knew that Wook had betrayed the emperor, she still had a million excuses... she didn't see and didn't want to see the truth... And besides, she fell in love with him when he still had a wife, by the way, she was her younger sister... great arrangement... These obsessive dreams were the reason for her hostile attitude towards Wang So for a long, long time, and it was only towards the end that one could notice that she was starting to feel something more towards him than just gratitude that ML had saved her many times... I regret that the author of the script did not develop the topic of true love between FL and ML so poorly... there were very few truly committed scenes when they really realized their love for each other, because the plot deviated in the meantime to side plots and supporting roles, which took a lot of time... In the last episodes, I was fed up with this heroine FL and her selfish behavior towards ML... Wang So did everything for her when he became emperor, he wanted her not to feel bad in this palace, despite the fact that everyone around they did everything to divide them and in the end it happened, to such an extent that the author of the script didn't even let them say goodbye in the last moment of Soo's life... a completely hopeless moment... ultimately left them both disappointed and lonely... they fought against adversities and in the end they were not given a chance to explain and forgive each other directly face to face... why, the author of the text, did you have to end things so hopelessly between them? I have huge grudges and that's why my rating for re-watching this drama is so low... I can't see it and experience it again!
The supporting characters did well - some were funny, others were power-hungry, others were irritating... unfortunately, the antagonists practically did not suffer any specific punishment... especially the witch Princess Hwang Bo - a terrible character... she was hungry for power and splendor from the very beginning. , full of envy, jealousy and striving hard to achieve her goal... and in fact she didn't suffer any punishment, on the contrary she got what she wanted... basically everything... so my question is, what's the point of being good and honest if you the good ones ultimately lose their lives, such as 10 Prince Eun and his wife... (victims of power-hungry brothers)... makes no sense...
I won't describe the rest because it would take several pages.
Overall, this drama could be really good, but the author of the script went too far, as they say in our country, "he went astray"... well, as I see, this is the problem of many script writers and few scripts are well written in terms of the beginning, development of characters and plots, and in balanced between good and evil... many questions remain because the plot often wandered and did not provide answers...
Why did So finally give hope that he would find her one day? And no sequel has been made, even though 7 years have passed since the premiere... no sequel... why give viewers hope? another poorly thought-out finale... well, to sum up, I regret that with a few wrong moves you can turn something good into something that arouses frustration and regret of wasted potential... and even the best acting of the actors will not help here....
OST
when it comes to music, I was particularly touched by 2 songs: beautifully sung with a beautiful heart-catching melody (Will Be Back) and beautiful (MY LOVE)...
I also liked Lee Hi's song 'Can You Hear My Heart'
