The story takes place in the Joseon period. Never had I see a Kdrama about time traveling before so this hooked me. It's not wrong to assume that I'll be watching more in the future. It was very cute, funny and made me feel all the fun the characters were having. The whole story of Hangul creation was amazing. I loved it! Maybe because I am fascinated by history in general, I don't know.
The cast. Do I have to say anything about Doo-Joon, one of the first Korean stars I came across? I loved the idea of a drama with him as a main protagonist. I didn't expect him to be as good as he was. The actress was natural and did a very good job imo. It's suprising to say that she didn't annoy me one bit (like other female protagonists usually) The rest of the cast was well chosen. They all fit their roles perfectly.
I would definitely rewatch this drama. It's very short and against popular opinion, I found the two episodes perfect and in no need for more. But even if they decide to give us another episode, I'd be one of the first to watch it.

The cast wasn't bad, but not good either. One of the main characters (Seo Jin) didn't appeal to me at all in the beginning (looks, acting, character). I found him dull. It was the opposite for the other main character (Ha Na). I was looking forward to watching her more. As the episodes went on the roles were reversed. Ha Na became a character with no personality whatsoever. She just seemed to stand there in most parts with no emotions and no thoughts, while Seo Jin was full of... life.
I am one of those people who actually never liked Robin. Seo Jin should have had more moments with Ha Na. Robin and he, to me were the same person and I was looking forward to seeing the moment Seo Jin would get himself under complete control. That's why I have the opinion that the series should have ended right when the mystery of Dr. Kang's disappearance was resolved.
Still I enjoyed it and would watch more of Hyun Bin's dramas, hoping that they'll be better.

At first sight the story looked like a mash-up of "The Other Woman" movie starring Cameron Diaz. I had my own idea how it would be going but it surprised me. I loved the fact that these women were strong and had their own goals they wanted to achive no matter what. I also enjoyed the fact that there was no awkwardness between the male and female main protagonists like there usually is in Korean Drama. It was also very funny at parts that I actually laughed outloud, which is pretty strange. This one didn't bore me one bit and I even watched it during my holidays abroad.
The cast is amazing for the drama. I like them all. Each of them does a perfect job with their character, but my favourite is Jang Hwa-young. I'd like to see her in a new comedy because they seem to suit the actress.
The music wasn't bad. Drama music is never my cup of tea, but the opening song of Ex-Girlfriend Club got me singing as well, so I'll give it that.
I would rewatch, just not in the near future.

I really liked the cast but the screenwriters ruined the main characters and I couldn't even catch a glimpse of the webtoon's Seol and Jung. It got on my nerves but differently than all the people I've seen so far I don't blame the actors. (Yes, some people blame the actors for reading their lines!) After all they just portray what's given to them.
I love piano. Say whatever you want but those parts didn't bother me at all. On the contrary, Baek In Ho was a nice character that I really enjoyed watching. I hardly ever jump on ships by the way, but I jumped on this one. I would have liked this ship to sail simply to have something different once in a while, not always the usual fighting-hating-blindy in love thing.
After losing my interest completely because in my opinion not even Baek In Ho could have saved this drama (or could he?) I dropped it and haven't seen a drama since because it put me in a slump. So annoyed!
