General Thoughts:
I thought I would get a cute little romance about a high school girl and a young king. What I actually got was a masterful interweaving of past and present in a charming story that is filled with heart.
This whole drama is a dream come true |
Kim Seul Gi- you are perfect and I will love you forever |
What Was Great:
General Flow:
Each scene flowed beautifully into the next for a wonderfully fluid little drama. Each conflict had enough time to swell and be adequately addressed before the drama moved on. The relationship between the King and Dan Bi also flowed beautifully, as it easily progressed from strangers to friends to lovers. Something that even full-length dramas can mess up. Everything moved so nicely together and gave such a complete feeling to the series.
100% yes |
The Ending:
Usually I don’t care for bittersweet endings, but another upside of the drama being so short was that it could pull of bittersweet in such a satisfying way.
Perfect little wrap-up to our perfect little drama |
What Wasn’t:
Conflict Confusion:
While each conflict did follow smoothly in the series, sometimes I was a little confused as to the whole idea of the conflict. Why was Dan Bi building a water clock? Who’s that guy and why does he want her dead?
Also included a surprising amount of accurate history |
Re-watch?
100%. I would live in this drama if I could. It is definitely one of my all time favourites, and I love that it’s so short as it means I can watch it again and again, without it taking away too much time from new dramas. Woo!
This drama is love. This drama is life. |
