Queen In-hyun's Man

Beautiful Story and Production. One of KDrama's best romances and time-slip dramas. Just wonderful throughout, and for me Ji Hyun Woo's finest performance.

This was the first good time travel k-drama I'd ever found. I found the second male lead to be incredibly annoying but he helped drive the story. A few things that made me give this show such a high rating is a) I loved how they handled the time travel. It was intriguing to watch as the various characters figured it out. B) the characters and writing were delightful. A lot of lovable characters, several despicable ones as well. They kept the life and death struggle separated from the romance too. C) the comedy in general was very funny and not cringe inducing (except for one scene at the beginning) and typically just added to the charm of the lead characters. D) the effects were usually adequate for the story. Not super realistic, but not painfully bad. I found the sets and costumes to be well done in both time periods, and the tenseness of the drama segments had me extremely worried. The only downside to the series is the deus ex machina ending but honestly, I was so intensely relieved i was fine that the authors did that. Plus the ending had me laughing out loud again so I left the show with a smile on my face.

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.

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!

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. 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 the review sites.
