This drama isn’t absolutely perfect because nothing is ok
BUT ITS PRETTY DAMN CLOSE

I must admit, ever since I watched Goblin I haven’t been able to find a drama that competes

The beautiful combination of gorgeous cinematography, fantasy, romance, comedy and of course an incredible cast and music

I’d been craving a fantasy thriller romance and lo and behold I’ve been given one
Having still released only four episodes yet, this drama has managed to captivate me...there’s a reason it’s proclaimed it’s position as the highest rated weekend drama
I’ll try and break down all main aspects as well as I can with having only seen two episodes

Story:
The story is nothing new time travel, parallel universes...
But the fresh perspective given to this one with the same country in existence at different places in different ways, murder, immortality, magical instruments :D
The romance element which I can already see is going to be very well developed

Acting/Cast:
I won’t lie, I love Lee Minho the guy has that effect with that killer smile and no doubt great acting skills,
it’s a stuck up guy with issues and soft heart of course it’s played by him and he’s nailed the facial expressions, tone, gestures, everything
He plays an easily irked, haughty yet soft hearted king eager to run away from his royal duties and do maths forever if he could :D
after encountering a gateway to a parallel universe he meets his long time obsession a Lieutenant played by Kim Go Eun who so far has also done a great job at portraying her role.
A police officer, ‘a little crude yet serious about her job’ gal who is suddenly forced to deal with a wacko claiming to be royalty from a parallel universe and continuously confesses how he’s waited for her forever
I’ve been finding her quite entertaining with those sarcastic remarks and sassy comebacks, the way she keeps putting him in his place :D

She’s been getting some hate for not acting well or that she’s not pretty
She’s unique and that what makes her so refreshing, I honestly like her acting so far and can’t wait for her character’s development since we already know Minho’s supposed to stay the same till the end plus some love confessions and a few emotional breakdowns Added
It is what it is :/ (I hope we’ll see versatility in him this time since so far he’s done pretty much similar characters in terms of dramas)
She’s the one who’ll really get lots of character development considering what’s coming up for her!

The side characters have been intriguing, Prime Minister’s character really caught me I’ve never seen her in a a drama before, she has something to her can’t point it out but she’s pulling off her character super well
THE BROMANCE BETWEEN YEONG and Eun Sup has successfully trumped the bromance he has with him
that banter dear lord ❤️
The VILLAIN YALL is something else he’s shaping the drama and the dramatic dialogue, fight scenes everything is on point
The evilness can be felt radiating through the screen throughout the four episodes
Can’t complain about the cast it’s pretty phenomenal

Music:
I’m obsessed I’ve literally been playing then all non stop
We’ve got a star line up with Hwasa and Zion T Wendy from red velvet and Zico
The vocals and themes of each ost are stunning


Anyways guys GIVE IT A SHOT, ITS BEEN PRETTY EPIC SO FAR

Ok So first of, like most people here I decided to start this because of Lee Min-Ho,

I came here ready for another romance filled light comedy but the Female Lead lord :(
I was ecstatic at first since I loved her in Crash
Landing On You,
But I couldn’t digest her character literally irked me so much, will never find out why old Korean dramas find it necessary to make the female leads act like animals of some sort when the guys seems completely normal,
there’s no female like that on this planet I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT
With the constant weird ass noises and whining, acting like you’re drunk 24/7, and the creepy ass smiles, to be honest
It’s such a shame cause the actress actually has great potential if she was given a better character

The fact that I watched this much before dropping is only because Lee Min-Ho’s character was decent enough to watch

Story:
Guys the storyline was good at the start but later on in the episodes it’s basically the same thing being repeated over and over again, it’s like watching someone live their daily life
And the other characters frankly did not seem to interest me either :(
