I think my opinion is an unpopular one, but I really cannot understand all the fuss about this drama (and the 2nd season). I am not saying it is bad because it is not. It is a good drama in general. I really enjoyed the fantasy element. Also, I love how this isn't a historical accurate drama and it contains elements of different eras.

The most annoying thing is the passing. For example, you have 1 scene in which the story is progressing and the rest of the episode is just a filler. Up until ep 12, I was a bit bored. It could work with half the episodes. Also, I didn't like the many pairs. Some was completely unnecessary. And the love triangle didn't make sense. With everything happening, does anyone care who love who? I surely don't. All in all, I believe this drama contains a lot of things and it isn't clear if they are necessary. It is a bit confusing.

It is a promising drama. If it had a bit tighter plot, less elements and less comedy, it would be better. And I think two seasons is too much. If had better passing, they could fit everything in the 20 episodes of 1+ hour.
