K-Drama 
A great story
I love this drama!!!FL often drove me crazy bc she was so dumb and needed so much help bc he created messes,
but the whole idea of the script was phenomenal. It was a great lesson in history too, and a great lesson in ripple effects of change - she was literally changing history
and I loved how she traveled back to live with him
My favorite role of Lee Min Ho

"this show doesn't seem to know how good it is."
That's right!Their all humble. and it feels sincere all the way through. I'm sure there was some sad politics in the making but it seems so innocent and real. It seems so not conceited with fame, vainglory and weird Hollywood pasty politics, which is why I can rewatch and rewatch it, every two years or so. Forever.
Lee Min-ho, and everyone in that cast, please go back to being simple real common people!

Loved it the whole way through
This is a 2012 South Korean Historical Medical Fantasy Romance television drama with 24, 1 hr episodes. It is also known under the title “Faith.”When the queen is mortally injured General Choi Young (Lee Min-ho) is sent through Heaven’s door to the land of the Gods to find a doctor to heal her. First doctor he encounters is a plastic surgeon, Yoo Eun-soo (Kim Hee-sun) but there is no such distinction 700 years in the past so he abducts her to take her back to save the queen, Queen Noguk (Park Se-young). Seeing her skill and the medical tools she brought with her, the people believe she was trained by no other than the legendary Chinese surgeon Doctor Hwata. Soon all those currently battling for rights to the throne believe that having her as their royal doctor will tip the scales in their favor. As love grows between the doctor and the captain of the royal guard, he must battle not only for the young king he has come to respect but also for the woman doctor he has grown to love. He also must keep a promise to her, on his honor, to return her to her world.
I was afraid this would be just another historical drama. Should have known better with Lee Min-Ho involved it has both fantasy and sci-fi time travel mixed in. His role is so dynamic. Not only is he a intelligent military strategist and strong warrior but his ethics and moral code are truly impressive. It is the first time I have seen this female lead and I just loved the role she played. She was smart and forceful yet completely feminine. Very pretty both in her behavior and appearance. I thought Lee Min-Ho was a great couple with Park Shin-Hye and he was but I thought these two were even more perfect together. Looked up to see if they dated and seems she was married. That is how great their chemistry was. There was good and evil a bit of a mystery and lots of suspense. Lee Min-Ho shines in action scenes. He puts so much emotion into his acting I suspect he is an empath and probably deeply feels his roles I would imagine he is exhausted when he finishes a drama. I greatly admire his talent and knowing he is in something greatly influences whether or not I watch it. spoiler alert** I was a bit worried at the ending as it seemed they might not wind up together. Things ended well I just wish there had been a bit more screen time when things wrapped up happy. Still very good and a must see if you like the genre or either of these very talented actors.

I did find him hot in this one w his sexy armor costume. Of course Kim hee sun is amazing. She jst doesn't look like her age, she looks so young. I never rly like noona romances but j actually ship them in this one cuz they had no barriers between them. It jst flowed smoothly.
I barely remember the plot or story but it was interesting n draggy at some parts. I always love historical dramas w martial arts so I like this one.
Kdrama ost are the best so I don't need to explain more...
Personally, it was one of my first kdrama so I didn't rly know how I felt except it's a great drama.
I don't plan on rewatching this cuz I'm kinda sick of lee min ho. He's jst too overrated.
It's watchable if anyone wants some love, fighting, healing...

The definition of a scheme that Todd set up
It was really good and engaging. The villains made me feel something. I had genuine anxiety because I did not know how they were gonna make it out. This is the first trauma where I could feel how high the stakes were as a viewer. However, why was every episode a scheme that Todd set up???? That or nonsense (little bit).Was this review helpful to you?

I might consider finishing this at some point..
this was one of the first kdramas I've started and I'll just list some things I liked and maybe didn't like (in the first 5 eps)liked:
- i liked seeing lee min ho in a saeguk (this was before i watched legend of the blue sea)
- I think the female lead actress suits her role and also acted like anyone would when going back in time
-
disliked/meh:
- idk why but the bad guy reminds me of a star wars character. like he'd fit right in 😅
- cringey side bad guys
- the fantasy elements
i haven't seen enough to give a proper review. if i do continue it one day I hope the couples gets together cause I've seen spoilers.

Skip this & watch The King Eternal Monarch instead
Lead male & female ruined this series. I got to episode 7 & found little incentive to continue. If you haven't started this then I urge you to skip it and watch King eternal Monarch (2020)instead because it is a time travel romance with the same male lead;Lee Min Ho. What pushed me over the edge to drop this ? Lee Min Ho's wooden acting. His acting is just so poor in contrast to the others actors. Where other actors around him wear thier armor well, ( "owning it"), he just looks awkward .Having seen Boys over flowers (&hating it) and watching him in 7 episodes of this, I was completely stunned when I saw The King Eternal Monarch because his acting was SO much better than I expected (I watched King Eternal Monarch about a year before watching this) In this drama, I found Lee Min ho unappealing. I actually found the King (Ryu Deok Hwan more attractive & interesting. Some of the production was not well done. The bad guy Yoo Oh Sung had very short hair-while 99% of other males had very long hair. Lee Min Ho's short pony tail was somebody's bad idea as well (more cute than suitable for a general)! Kim Hee Sun's character was intolerably annoying. She endlessly ranted like a angsty 12 year old & seemed like an older Noona rather than a love interest for the male lead. Romance? Leads had NO chemistry. Ending: was not my definition of happy. There is a 5 year time skip and the leads are reunited and they are so happy that they stand 15+ feet away from each other, just looking at each other until the camera fades out. Tedious & underwhelming waste of time sums up this series.Was this review helpful to you?
