Queen In-hyun's Man

A scholar Kim Boong (Ji Hyun Woo) from the Joseon dynasty is given a paper talisman by a Kisaeng whos life he saved to protect him from harm. Whilst foiling a plot to murder the queen his life is saved suddenly when he is transported 300 years into the future where he meets Choi Hee-jin (Yoo In-na) She is an actress filming a series who coincidentally is playing the queen from the same period. The series bounces back and forth between periods as we see Kim Boong trying to expose plotters in the Joseon period whilst developing feelings for Choi Hee-jin in modern times. It is a well written plot which is well paced and the entire cast do a sterling job over the sixteen episodes.

I should probably add I am always entranced by Yoo In-na in whatever she is in but I do find her performance in this extra captivating.

My absolute in my top 10 favorite Kdramas of all time! Time travel love story, so cute, funny and great cast/story. It will NOT disappoint!

It's good to pass time but there are some boring episodes and it's definitely not one of the best Kdramas.

This k-drama is so awesome, travelling from one time to another time brings goosebumps on my hands. I was literally crying while watching some scenes, this drama is so epic.

I've heard that many Korean dramas made 10 or 15 years ago are especially good, so I thought I'd try this one. It's a lighthearted, fun, romantic fantasy. The plot is similar to LIVE UP TO YOUR NAME, only in this case the time travel logic makes more sense. It was nice to see a ML and FL, each with a human complexion. Yes, sometimes you saw a couple of pores, or a flaw or two, adding a touch of reality to the story--plus casual, believable pda. My only complaint is that I had a hard time following the twists and turn of Joseon politics, which kept changing due to the time travel element, but I got the gist of it.

All the secondary actors were good, and nothing seemed forced. I especially enjoyed Kim Jin-woo who was funny, likeable, and the perfect adversary. The story never dragged. It deserves a higher rating than it currently has on IMDb. Eight stars.
