Amazing!
This is one of the rare gems that not only gets people hooked on K-dramas, but it's also nearly perfect. The plot is a bit like Back to the Future mixed with That Thing You Do, but it's more intricate, interesting, heartfelt, and compelling. It goes beyond the common tropes we see in time travel stories and delves deep into the heart of struggles of the deaf community in a beautiful way that anyone can relate to. The characters and relationships in this drama are so rich and moving that they'll stay with you long after the last episode.Was this review helpful to you?
Definitely worth watching!
This was a really neat look into the brocade industry-I had no idea how cool it was! Absolutely fascinating to see the process and understand why we heard about things like The Silk Road being so important in history class. It also gives me more appreciation for all the costume designs and intricate patterns in dramas. Someone must have spent years researching to write this.The story itself was great. Strong FL that used her brain instead of plot armor. There wasn't as much chemistry between the leads as I'd like, but the romance was still sweet. I loved the development of the side characters as well. Definitely worth watching!

One of the best fantasies!
A rich fantasy world that I want to revisit again and again, an engrossing story, great cast, beautiful cinematography, and satisfying ending. While some things were a bit cheesy (like the special effects) and a bit over the top (the drama of the story is a bit much sometimes), it's hard to stop watching it, even though I've seen it before. I loved it even more the second time.I also love that some of the side characters were so popular that a sequel was made to give them a better ending!

Not Bad But I Miss The Original Actors
Unnecessarily long. We get it. They're in love but went though a lot of tough things before they could finally be together. We didn't need half of these episodes....That said, it wasn't bad. It was a sweet love story with a very dedicated and extremely romantic ML and an emotionally unavailable FL. Good character arcs. nice characters. But I REALLY miss the actors from Hidden Love (which this is a spin off of). I had to pretend that this was a completely different, unrelated story to even remotely enjoy it because the actors' interpretations of those characters are so different. Not bad, but very different. (Although it would have been so much better to see the original Sang Yan from Hidden Love because his acting was so unique).
I also really enjoyed the side characters' story and romance. I was a bit confused by the friendship of the three because it was shown as adults but not much in the flashbacks.

Good but needed to be shorter
Pretty much The Fugitive but in the Josen Era. If it was 10 episodes instead of 20, this would have been a pretty solid show, especially with such a great cast (and by that I so mean more than just Lee Don Wook, even though you know he's my favorite), but it was too long and drawn out. Even so, it was fun to watch (when I wasn't wanting to scream at the repetitive plot or cringing at all the talk about poop).Was this review helpful to you?
One of my favorite endings!
I loved that there was a FL with her own goals and drive who didn't spend the whole show just trying to win over the ML. The trust and working relationship built between the two was a nice thing to see.The Scooby Doo style mystery solving got boring, so I took a break for a while. But when I came back, the last few episodes were great. The ending is now one of my all-time favorites! There were cute and flirty moments, heartfelt and tender moments, but without getting too sappy or too dark. I loved the actors, and the costumes were absolutely gorgeous.

Meh
Meh. It started cute, but the dominating and abusive behavior was hard to watch (especially when he uses his money/power to control important life choices for her or told her who she could or could not spend time with). It was very short and the ending seemed very rushed and incomplete, like a show that's been cancelled mid season but they try to give it an ending.Was this review helpful to you?
Not bad
Good character development. The story went a way I didn't see it going, which was nice. But not my favorite ending....Was this review helpful to you?
AMAZING until the ending
Beautiful music, costumes, sets, and scenary. LOVED the cast. I couldn't stop watching. Hated the ending.Was this review helpful to you?
Meh
Cute but too long for what it was. It really didn't need two seasons. It could have been condensed into one. At least the ending was satisfying.Was this review helpful to you?

Short and cute
Cute but with 12 episodes (only 13 minutes long) it's not a fully fleshed out series.Was this review helpful to you?
Good but slow in the middle
Started off great but got really dumb for a while towards the end. The ending itself was fine, but getting there wasn't the best. I had to take a break from the show before I could finish it because of thisWas this review helpful to you?
