Perfect mini series for one evening
This is my 1st review on this app, but I just could not not do it! This 2-episode series was perfect for what I was looking for: something light, easily digestible and cute. Only meant to watch the first episode tonight, but ended up hooked until the very end.Sure, you need to suspend your disbelief to fully enjoy a high schooler teaching a Joseon king some maths, but that's what drama is for. Some confusing editing made the storytelling feel rushed at times, but not enough to take away from the enjoyment.
My first time seeing the leads, and already added some of their more recent dramas to my watchlist! This drama is definitely going on my rewatch list too, I found myself chuckling at some scenes and crying at others.
Recommended if you're looking for cute lil romance to fill a rainy afternoon!

This is not the first drama I have seen Kim Seul Gi and Doojoon in. They are both actors and seem to be good at getting the right chemistry with their fellow actors. They are really cute together in this show.
The concept of this drama is not 100% unique. There are a few drama tropes like time travel, cross-dressing, and high school pressures. But we all know that when the tropes are used in the right way in a drama, it can still be a very enjoyable watch. Although the female lead character is a high school student, the themes of wanting to escape a miserable reality and realising your true potential are relatable on all levels.
I think this show will be a great watch and source of respite for hardened Korean drama viewers who are tired of watching the same tropes being used in the same way again in drama after drama, or of episode extensions with too much filler and no storyline progress. A short but refreshing watch!

This drama was exactly what I needed. I really enjoyed giggling through this.
Kim Seul Gie is great, of course. I like the idea of her not being a good student in modern times but in Joseon times it doesn't matter because she is still going to know much more than the most advanced scholar.
Her personality is both cute and confrontational. She takes over the historical world with her modern attitude. Her audaciousness is so fabulous. I mean, she doesn't lose the Kim Seul Gie charm even when she's telling off the king, so you know this is going to be darn good.
The relationship with the king is a cracker. He appreciates her forwardness and bluntness but he also gets the brunt end of it too.
I really loved the historical moments of this drama as well. I normally don't appreciate history but it was pretty darn epic!

I randomly came over it and decided to watch it since it was just 2 episodes, now I wish it was longer. I usually find at least one thing I really dislike about dramas, especially romantic ones, but while watching this drama I couldn`t really find anything I hated about it. The actors did an amazing job and I loved watching the interactions between the two leads, it was so sweet and funny to watch and I either laughed or smiled almost the entire time watching. Also, I'm so glad that after watching a dozen K-dramas I finally find a female lead that seems like a normal person, she actually act s like a normal girl and that makes it so easy to like her. She`s not flawless and fragile or a strong kick-ass woman, she`s just a normal girl and I find it refreshing to see a female character that acts like a girl you could actually meet on the street.
It's a short, sweet and refreshing drama to watch and I would definitely rewatch it.

Confesso que embora tenha sido um drama insistentemente recomendado pela minha querida irmã, resisti muito pra assistir, já que a sinopse e a capa não me chamaram a atenção logo de cara, principalmente quando percebi que se tratava de um drama de época, mas logo nos primeiros minutos fui convencida e simplesmente me rendi a ele.
Os protagonistas são muito envolventes, e a suas interações foram muito divertidas, o romance é uma graça, e o enredo é bem leve e descontraído, sem grandes complicações ou enrolações, a história foi direto ao ponto, o que deixou um gostinho de quero mais no final.

The story is kinda like a study guide in the style of "The Wizard of Oz". When testing pressures are too much for Dan Bi, she tries to run from them, and finds herself making a detour into the Joseon era. Her travel method is very cool, and immediately sets up the style of the show. From there the drama becomes an abbreviated sageuk, about a girl from the future and a royal from the past. This story has been done many times before, so It's up to the cast to make this version measure up, and the cast does a great job of that.
Kim Seul Gi has a spunky energy (similar to her role in "Oh my Ghostess"), which I love. I was impressed by her range of emotions, and I look forward to seeing more of her in the future. I'm not really familiar with Doo Joon (fangirls please don't kill me), but he was great too. Even in a drama this brief, they managed to deliver the chemistry romance fans love. Things may have seemed slightly rushed, but never too rushed to buy into it. I totally did.
I admit that much of the historical context went over my head. I was still able to still catch on to much of it, and it peaked my interest in learning the real history. I'll also admit to thinking that the historical versions of the characters were better looking than the modern ones.
Splash Splash LOVE is extremely cute, perhaps a little corny, and certainly predictable, but definitely entertaining.
Overall this drama seemed a little like and elaborate and well-devised plan to inspire young people to study. It is certainly aimed at a much younger audience, but I still enjoyed it. The writers were able to squeeze a great story into 2 episodes, so if you are looking for a drama to watch, but don't have the hours to commit (especially if that's because you know you should be studying), this is perfect.

Light quick, interesting and cute
8/10 is my rating. 2015 South Korean television drama. This drama spans two, 60 minute, episodes. Jang Dan-bi (Kim Seul-gi) struggles with the complex math she needs to pass the college test. Feeling immense pressure she is able to escape through a time portal to the Joseon era. She finds some clothing and is ultimately mistaken as an Eunuch. Having modern skills and knowledge, abilities that were passing in the modern area make her a top scholastic mind in the Josean area and she is soon teaching and advising the king, Yoon Doo-joon (Jang Yeong-sil). Through the course of their interaction they fall in love. Danbi becomes homesick and decides to return to her own time. The king vows to find her again through time. Back in the modern era time passes and Danbi's feels the loss of a great love. She reads about things the King did as a result of their time together. Feeling wistful she drops something on the street in the rain only to look up and see a very familiar face holding an umbrella over her.Spoiler 🚨 I really liked this one and there were many funny moments. It is a good, quick, light hearted drama to watch in between dramas with heavier topics. For me she decided to return to her time abruptly or at least it felt like that. it was really good just lacked a few elements for me that would have set it apart and made it great.

This bite sized drama should definitely be on your watch list! It is short and sweet though the story does not feel rushed at all. It could have been a movie in my opinion but it doesn't matter that much. The romance was very cute and sweet but my favourite moments were definitely the comedy scenes! xD I was laughing or at least chuckling at many of them – my most favourite one would definitely be the one with riding a horse to the tune of Gangnam Style. :D The ending was bittersweet but it suited the drama very well. More people should definitely know about this little drama. :3 Cet avis était-il utile?

All You Want From a Full-Length Drama in Two Episodes!
A high school girl ends up running off as it rains to skip her SATS and vanishes into a puddle only to be transported into the Joseon past! Dan Bi, your average high schooler with doubts and dreams of the future, finds herself in the Joseon dynasty and having to use her modern-day wits and knowledge of math and science from high school to keep herself useful to the king. This story is sweet and manages to fulfill all the wants you tend to have from a drama, all packed into two episodes! There's adventure, romance, and even two assassination attempts! It's a great romp from start to finish, and it has a happily ever after, too! Couldn't have asked for more! Am delighted I managed to randomly see this!Cet avis était-il utile?
