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.

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.

A mini series with a good story and an interesting theme. Back when the k drama land wasn't filled so fully with the go back to the joseon dynasty theme, this drama had kind of an interesting and original story. And they did make it work, using lots of humour and a nice romantic story. The chemistry between the two main actors was nice and helped a lot with the love story, though it was odd to begin with. The plot had a good pace as well and managed to complete the story officiently enough in just about two hours. So, 6 out of 10.

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.

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.
