Splash Splash Love

I just happend to find it. I'm so glad that I did. Koreans did everything right with this one. I literally have no complains. Even my favourite kdramas have something I dislike. Of course it's not perfect, thus the 8 stars. But it's an all around 8 for me, wich is extremely rare. I'm actually feeling joy while writing this review, just because I've watched something this good!

One thing I have to point out is that this is a comedy with some romance. Not the usual Joseon "rom-com" kdrama, where many of the characters end up dead. It's extremely funny at some points. At least for my taste. Also don't watch expecting realism. This is purely fantasy and it's good at it. I think this has to go in my "Favourites" list.

A charming and simple love story that is very easy. The visualizations could have been really better in some places, but the series is also a bit older.

The storyline was original and refreshing. It didn't get complicated afterwards, you could enjoy it to the fullest. However, I thought it was a shame when it was over, although everything was rounded off. Every gap was simply filled.

And deep down I wanted another end, but actually I found the end good anyway.

Kim Seoul-gi plays Jang Dan-bi who is a high schooler and on the day of an important test she decides to run away but ends up in a time portal which takes her back to the Joseon era. Here she meets king Sejong played by Yoon Doo-joon who is massively impressed with her knowledge and soon develops feelings for her. I believe this was initially released in 10 minute segments as a web drama and I watched it over two 50 minute episodes which may have affected the flow of the drama. The two leads had great chemistry and some funny interactions. Overall a well acted entertaing mini series which is short and sweet.

You live every moment of the story. Its adorable to see the beautiful chemistry between the leads. What hit me the best was the ending that isn't unreal. It is a happy ending but not the one you accept but much better.

Years have passed and I still think fondly of this film, which I have watched again and I think I will return to it again someday.

It starts out as a simple movie about time travel and a girl pretending to be a eunuch, but it's so beautiful. It touches on the subject of success in life and academic validation, of the fact that each of us is perfect at something as long as we believe in ourselves and as long as we have people by our side.

Also, the narrative thread of the love relationship between the two protagonists is sublime. A forbidden love between a girl from the future and a king from the past becomes one of the cutest love stories I've ever watched.

What is amazing is the cinematography of the movie, the scenery, the setting, I fell in love with them the first time I saw the movie. I laughed, I cried, I was happy for the characters watching the story, which has such a peaceful, but also dramatic vibe. It keeps you in suspense, captivates you and transports you too into the world of the palace.

It's also a movie that teaches you about and honors King Sejong. It shows you that there are strong people who care about the people, who want to make a change.

And the friends you make throughout your life, whether you spend a little or a lot of time with them, change your life forever. It's a movie that teaches you to have more faith in your destiny and to believe that something magical can always happen to you.
