The reason I decided to watch was because of the fact that Joo Won is starred in it. I once watched one of his earlier dramas and simply got hooked. So when I saw that he had been starred in a new movie I thought, why not?

This film though, is not one of the best ones that I've seen. Although it ain't downright poor it just doesn't have that little flick in it that makes the viewer want to engross herself in the movie, feel all the emotions and possibly re-watch the film.

I get that they really tried to make this movie great, but honestly, how many times have we not seen anything similar too this one? I'm not gonna spoil but it's so easy to turn the TV or computer off when you've put this movie on.

You find some comical parts and other stuff in this movie that makes you wanna continue to watch it but the things that drags it down are to many to compare with the highlights.
In a funny way you'd think that this is how the directors wanted the film to go out but honestly, why? I mean, if it is a good film, you wouldn't need too do this.

The actors and actresses in this movie though really did a good job. It's just a shame that the plot was so..., well, uninteresting? Yeah, uninteresting.

So let's just hope that they will choose a better film to be cast in rather than some wannabee like this one.

At first I thought I needed to know something of Koreas history before I could watch this drama. I thought that if I didn't, I would catch this one at all. Therefor I was quite skeptical when I first started watching it. Later on, it turned out I didn't need to do that at all.

You don't have to know much (at all) about Koreas history, even if a great deal of this drama is about it and it is set in a historical time period.
It's got both sugar and spice. Both present and past. Both romance, action, and some politics.
You don't need to worry to much about this drama becoming to cheesy, it never does. Nor do you need to worry about it having to much fighting and no Main girl and Main boy relation/scenes.
What you do need to worry about however, is how much your space your embarrassing scale got.
This drama is awesome, it got it all. You never get bored of it. There is of course, like in any other dramas, time periods when it get a little boring and you maybe dislike this or that part.
But the thing is, this drama, from the beginning to the end, always succeeds to keep it's touch. You'll always want to know the answer of the question popping up in your mind. And therefor you continue to watch. Some think that if I watch this episode I'll get my answer and I can drop this drama. Well, the scary thing is, it's almost as if the director already knew your question, so he, purposely put your answers in a place where you have to watch even more to get to know the truth. That's good, because you wont feel frustrated even if you have to continue to watch. Instead you will grow even more and more attached to it and when your on the last episode, when it all ends, you'll regret watching it to greedily. You'll wish that you had slowed down a little.
And as for me, I wished nobody saw me crying.

It's a movie I came across randomly. I hadn't planned to watch it, nor did I even know it existed.
And when I first saw/watched it, I was bored, it didn't catch my attention at all. Yet, something made me continiue to watch it, and I still haven't figured out what.

It's a slow movie. You really don't get it at all in the beginning. You're constantly attempted to close it down and go watch something better. But at the same time there is this mysterious aura surrounding you from the very beginning. It lingeres in the air and prevents you from turning it off.

This is a movie that I normally wouldn't watch, since the plot summery (according to me) sucks. But I think it's a movie worth giving a try, since the actress succeded to give the watcher this "What happens next?, What happens next?" environment even if the story is boring.
