The story was so well written,it is something that is different from your usual South Korean historical drama.I liked the fact that it included "magic" beliefs since my country is one of those countries that in the past and even now still believes in the power of white/black magic.
The acting was great but not outstanding I liked the childrens' acting more,they weren't as emotionless as the olders...also I discovered that I'm in love with Yeo Jin Goo(Jin Goo-sshi just call me Haeri-nuna,ok? :)) ).As for the grown-ups version I can say that I really hated Han Ga In's acting,you may say she is a great actress but to me she is the worse why?I didn't feel any emotion in her acting,her facial expression seemed to be static thru all the drama,it barely changed.It is the first drama I watch with Han Ga In as lead role and since I heard so many people praising her I was expecting something outstanding but she didn't meet my standards.As for Kim Soo Hyun and Jung Il Woo,hell guys,why are you so hot?:((I love them,when I was watching the drama I couldn't decide on which ones side I am.It was a difficult decision(kekek~).Also Kim Min Seo portraited really well the craziness in her character...Iloved her acting.
The music really made it for me I loved and I still listen from time to time to it,especially Lyn's Back in Time OST.It isn't a surprise that it charted in korea for a long time and even got the chance to be 1st on charts.It really is a good song.

I really enjoy watching dramas flooded with love lines between the mains and especially those where the relationship and the storyline is not overly-done or cliché-like. But SWEET JESUS this drama was the first drama where I thought the love story between him and her was unnecessarily and burdensome and that the plot and bro-romance needed more screentime. She was nerve-wracking (both her as an actress and the character she played imo.),she made me skip most of the love interaction between the two leads (lucky that it weren't many of them :)) ). Seo In Guk was alright I'm not a big fan of his acting (althought I enjoyed how he played in Reply 1997) but damn his facial expresions were so on fleek, in some scenes I really thought he was a psycho-like character or either that he has an unnexpected secret in his sleeves soon to be discovered. My petite new crush Park Bo Gum was so cute and handsome too,his acting was good also,same goes for D.O and his older self Choi Won Young. The casting was awesome but I have a minus for the main female cast. The plot is quite unique and I really cheered up for the bro romance to have more relative screen time.I enjoyed this drama and I recommed it to those who like mystery,detective and action oriented dramas.
