Surprising that that drama was 24 episodes...even more surprising was how they managed to pull that off without things dragging horribly or getting boring. Grated, I still think a typical 16 episode run would have been sufficient but regardless it was enjoyable. Jo Jung Suk stole the show, as always, and I’m a fan of pretty much everything Gong Hyo Jin does. They had good chemistry and were the driving force that kept this train going. I could watch them just be adorable together for another 24 episodes and forget the rest.

Started this drama forever ago, and finally finished after a long break. It can’t even begin to compete with “Kill Me, Heal Me”...another drama that had a veeeery similar premise and aired at the same time, which was unfortunate. However...HOT DAMN Hyun Bin is still so freaking gorgeous and sexy. I teetered more towards being annoyed with Han Ji Min than liking her which was also really disappointing. Couldn’t fully get on board with the couple(s) or their chemistry. In the end, I decided to just ogle Hyun Bin and enjoy the eye candy

While at times annoying, it was cute and sweet, although in the end—ultimately forgettable. It’s definitely worth a watch, I just don’t think much of it will stick with me. The character dynamics are somewhat unique and the plot twist was great though, which makes this show stand out amongst so many others that follow generic plot lines.

This drama...was okay. It was a little over the top and filled with "Seriously?!" moments but it managed to keep me hooked with a bit of charm, humor, and trolling episode cliff-hangers. I won't put it on my re-watch list but I wouldn't necessarily not recommend it either. Depends on what mood you're in.

I loved this drama so much when it was airing and fell head-over-heels for Chun Jung Myung...

Not to brag or anything (okay totally bragging cuz I'm gushing...) but I got to meet him face-to-face when I was in Korea. He was shooting a commercial at a bar one of my friends owns. We spoke like 3 words. Swoon. Just as adorable in person!

So pretty...one of the first Korean historicals that really looked like a movie with a high production value.

But the story...the story...
