Splash Splash Love popped on to my radar when I saw that Kim Seul Gi would be in it. At the time she was one of my favorite rising comedic actresses. (Though now she's just one of my all around favorite actresses.) Yoon Doo Joon (BEAST people!) Was just the cherry on top.
What I found was that with great writing two episodes is all you need to create an amazing story. No really. Not only was this a time travel, but a gender bender. Splash Splash Love does suffer from fillers or slow pacing. The writer hit the perfect balance of typical drama story with her on unique take. Not to mention her own magical brand of humor combined with Kim Seul Gi's comedic skills.
I also loved all of the historical ties. Well done! The danger for woman in that time period especially for a stranger was very real and I commend the writer for not making it all romantic and roses.
My biggest thing about this drama was how amazing Yoon Doo Joon and Kim Seul Gi were together. They had such chemistry and I felt more invested in their love story then many other long winded dramas out there. Not to mention that the kiss scenes (YES, MORE THAN ONE KISSING SCENE).
The look of this drama was stunning, especially how the director envisioned all the water and rain scenes. As water plays a very important role and I feel like it is its own character.
The entire cast was great and I loved the parallels between the modern versions and historical versions.
The music is top notch. At times the OSTs are very campy, and other times the rock ballads were epic. Especially in the final episode. The musical score is fun and at many times lovely as it mimics the rain.
Oh, yeah I would rewatch this again and again. I did the first episode already when I decided to finally finish this drama. (Internet issues kept me away from it. ;_;)
One of my favorite dramas. Because the writing is so good two episodes were perfect. The humor, character development, world building, and so on all did what other long winded series failed to achieve. Kim Seul Gi showed off her talents beautifully. I also really want to see Yoon Doo Joon in more things! No, I'm not speaking as a BEAST fan. The man can act. Most importantly I will be keeping an eye out for this writers work. There's a bright future ahead of her.
