Story: I found it to be fascinating. There wasn't any real element that I could detect that could give out the next big event (or at least while I was watching). There is some political-ness involved, with romance and a pinch of comedy. This drama really got me a bit interested in the Joseon Dynasty. However, after they fast forwarded 8 years is when I got a bit less interested into the drama. The ending ended better than I thought it would, and that's probably because I didn't have a high expectation for the ending as I was watching, kept seeing it spiral DOWNwards instead of UPwards. And~ I didn't get why after episode 13 or 14, there was at least 1 person that cried that wasn't necessary to cry.
Acting/Cast: In my opinion, I think the child actors did as good or even better than the adult actors! Kim Yoo Jung did a superb job, as was Yeo Jin Goo. Although, Han Ga In didn't impress me. While I haven't her other works (so I can't judge her right now), she didn't give off the "scholarly" feel. While it may be her character, not her personally, I was a tad disappointed. The thing that ticked me off was how SMART the two Heo siblings were 8 years prior to the drama, and after that showed none of it. None. Zip. Sometimes, it felt like they (the whole cast) were reading off a script by staring into space, but we all stare into space every now and then, in real life, don't we? The others I had no problem with.
Music: Loved Back In Time by Lyn. There's only 3 melodies that play in the drama, I found. After episode 15, the ending song changed.
Overall: 7/10.
Oh...and is there 2 people out there that hate this drama or something? I mean, whenever I go to the episode reviews, they don't correspond with the whole drama review (some of the episode reviews go as low as 4.5, last I checked!)
