Finally takes a step forward after having taken a thousand back...

I'll admit I did enjoy this episode, because they made Lee Gak come off as smart and not just a bratty prince. And I feel they are now getting to the actual plot.



The comedy parts had me laughing. This part has never failed it's purpose and they are actually managing to maintain the comedic factor of the boys out of the element, I have to at least give them that.



Park Ha is sort of getting on my nerves now. Why doesn't she just tell Se Na to leave her alone? Why must Park Ha follow her when she wants nothing to do with her and has told her so? It's really annoying, if it was me I would told her off already. *sigh* These drama females make my blood pressure rise.



I still long for Joseon though.

Annoying..

Naah, I don't like this episode at all. I find it annoying and I really hope that Young Gul liked Ga Young, but not :/ confused. This ep dosen't gave me so much entertainment, that I was hoping for. But one thing was hilarious, haha, when Hyuk ask GaYoung to step outside for a bit.. and then she open the door and fell, god wat I laugh there. Because the other stod there behind the door and listening. LOL

Good beginning

This episode was a pretty good beginning, like most Korean Romance Comedies. I enjoyed it a lot though. The humor was hilarious, especially the gay elevator scene and the hotel scenes. Circumstantial evidence :D Hope the next episodes are just as good.

1, 2, 3...And it gets even better!

I absolutely loved this episode! Like VS and beca said one of my favorite scenes was when Dong Wook ran after the moving train to tell In Ha the truth about why Yoon Hee left. The bromance!



Also like beca, I REALLY hope this does NOT turn into a typical 16 episode rom-com. If they do, I hope they leave some of the magic that made me fall in love with this drama in the first place....Pretty please?!?!?!



I thought the transition was very well done. Using the moving train. I think the best transitions are the ones when you don't need to depend on a caption to know what's going on and this was easy, and effortlessly done.

Just right

I loved this episode. The romance is well done, not totally overdone like a lot of romance dramas I've seen, which I just start skipping parts.



Again beautiful scenery which is breath taking.



I thought it was sweet when he hesitated to take her hand. I love it! I also loved when she grabbed his hand.

Can it get more ridiculous...?

Honestly, I don't why I'm still watching this...I guess I'm more of a masochist than I thought I was or I just have the same kind of fascination as watching a train wreck. How long has it been since Tae Yong has been gone and now he takes over Lee Gak's body...? Huh... *SMH*

Lee Gak in Transition

Ahh, this episode still gives us the laughs though not as funny as Episode 2. After having clarified his identity with Halmoni, Lee Gak is still inevitably intertwined with Tae Yong's family.



Se Na, the Evil Unnie, pushed Park Ha into a situation that will put her developing relationships with the Joseon boys to a stop.



The Prince's trio try to help but they have, as we can see, a long way to go before they can fully adapt to everything else.



Episode 4 sets the mood up for a spark between Lee Gak and Park Ha, but Lee Gak is still in transition. At the end, he uses his predicament to assume his 'reincarnation.'

It keeps getting better...

I really like this drama. The acting is great and the directing is fantastic. I'm enjoying the 1970s story and I hope that when 2012 comes they don't completely turn it into one of those mindless romantic comedies. Although some funny (not over the top) situations would be welcomed.



And NO, I'm not a fan of either of them and I still like it.

Best episode yet

I loved this episode!!!

It felt like the ending of a four hour movie. The story wrapped up great to leave space to the next story.

As VS said, I loved when Dong Wook told In Ha the truth at the end of the episode!!!

I'm just hoping that from now on this won't turn into your typical 16 eps romcom

loving it

It is slow moving, but the cinematography is brilliantly done. The romance was great and I'm glad that he finally said something about his feelings. Can't wait for the next episode!!!

Almost Perfect Ending...

I, for one, don't need all the "romance" in dramas other people seem to need in huge amounts of, so I thought the minimal amount in this drama was just right for my diabetic self who just can't seem to tolerate too much sugar lately.



The only thing I would have truly changed about the ending was Mariya. I to this very second cannot stand her. I was so happy when she dumped him in ep. 4, but she came crawling back and stuck to the end....grrr

Suprisingly Good

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the first ep. Usually they tend to go by without anything significant happening. I liked it because it was funny and they introduced all the characters in a way that they were all memorable. Yes the female lead character is a b*tch (they even called her that in the show!) but I kind of like her for some reason. She's unlikable but likeable at the same time if that makes any sense. Hopefully her new romance will soften her up=) Oh and I think the side couple (female lead's sister and Shin Hyun Joon's character) is going to be soo funny! Looking forward to seeing more...

Well ...

A little warning: I often pay attention to things no one else might care about so don't be surprised!



If you're looking for good action drama, you have found one!

Even though one of the genres is called fantasy I would rather call it a mix between Fantasy and Science fiction. It's really thrilling but maybe that's just because it was the first episode, so I'll have to wait and watch the following episodes to see if the rest can stick with the first episode.



Now, about the episode (contains SPOILER):

I didn't really expect anything when I started watching this episode but it managed to make me feel a little bit disappointed.

First, I'm a huge fan of the fantasy genre so, even though I didn't expect anything, I was looking forward to it. Even though the "Person receives superhuman powers and starts to fight the bad boys"-Plot isn't something new, the way it all started was interesting. Heug Cheol's father wanted to save his life and being superhuman was just a side effect - at least that's what we know after watching the first episode.

Even though I liked the "Turning into a superhuman"-Part and how the story developed, I didn't like some of the fighting scenes.

1. I've seen this several times already but why do so many people tend to fight with their fists while holding a gun?

I do get that they are using the moment of surprise to disarm the enemy but why do they continue using their fists instead of the weapon?

2. There was this one scene: Yi On was chasing the bad guy (sorry, I can't remember names that well) who hid on one of those big containers you see on ships. While he was observing Yi On walking slowly and looking for him, instead of just killing her he jumped from the container and disarmed her.

I understand, that Yi On is one of the main characters so she can't die in the first episode but that doesn't make sense at all. If I were the bad guy I would just shoot her instead of exposing myself to her and risking to get killed or captured.



But there was also something that surprised me: The usage of censoring!

When Heug Cheol was figthing the bad guy his arm was broken in a way where the bone was shown, so they had to censor the bone part.

This was the first time I've seen that in an asian drama! It really surprised me - in a good way. Since one of his powers is the ability to heal himself this was a good opportunity to show everyone how powerful this really is.



Now, I'm wondering what will happen next ...
