PLOT
------

The story is a complete and cohesive tale; beginning, middle and end. Which sadly is something Kdramaland tends to have trouble with. But the writers of this drama really got it right! Usually I have a lot of trouble with time travel genre. I think time travel is one of the harder kinds of plots to pull off and pin down. They can get convoluted and tend to lead to more questions then answers. But this drama kept things simple and fairly clean. It didn't try to over explain or get too complicated. I walked away feeling satisfied with a really great story and ending (something missing in shows a decade later) . I liked that the ending well explained , reasonable and expected . Many time-travel shows fail to acheive this :cough: Mr. Queen :cough:

CAST
------

The acting was so wonderful. I was very impressed with Yo In Na. She really gave a memorable performance before her fame Goblin appearance . She was so engaging and real with all her emotions. I never felt she was faking her performance and she didn't over act and fall all over herself crying. She was a delight and did an excellent job as a carefree, lively, cheerful girl who was a no pushover.

I was irritated by Hee Jin's friend Soo Kyung played by Ga Deuk Hi ; the naggy manager who is also a sincere friend ; and her ex boyfriend, played by Lee Kwan Hoon but he was such a quirky character, he worthless but charming ex-boyfriend who makes a fool of himself all the time. The devoted slave girl who is ready to sacrifice everything even though her love is unrequited-all were refreshingly likeable. Overall cast was a great fit together.

VERDICT
----------

There was good humor and I smiled a lot at the harmless childishness of the characters. Apart from occasional boring episodes and side-stories overall I liked this drama. It made me laugh a lot and I always appreciate decent humor. But for me it lacked the depth which I consider essential to turn a nice story into a great one.

As with most time travel shows, there is definitely some holes in the way the travel works, especially when you get to the end. But if you can suspend disbelief long enough to just accept the fantasy of the show, you won't be sorry!

P.S : I waited along for this show to be available on Viki/Netflix but i needed something for Mr.Queen Hangover and found the cure in "Queen In Hyun's Man"
