If you've got time to kill you can watch this
I really, really wanted to love this show.The CP's 3 companions were the best bits of humor in the show and I could have done with their lines and plots being developed more (and edit out so much of the extraneous mooning between ML & FL).
What initially got me to try the drama was the time slip aspect. Who doesn't love that, eh?
That was good, as well as the mystery which is finally wrapped up at the end.
I also enjoyed the past-life/reincarnation / karmic aspects of the plot. It worked well with the time slip stuff.
The first few episodes were intriguing, and I thought "Ah hah! this IS going to be good!" But while it had good bones it was over fleshed out and poorly edited. So many establishing shots were of them going from a to b, standing in someone's apt, house, car garden etc, and watching what I think of as talking heads repeating the same stuff over and over. Yes, after the 3rd time of it being said, we know the ML is the CP. We know that he's also currently masquerading as the heir, and that the cousin is as dirty and underhanded as they come. We don't need that being reiterated in just about every episode. Really!
What I thought though was that it could have been made a more dynamic and interesting show with better editing of the script and shooting. It should not have taken 20 episodes to tell the story (It is pretty basic after all) and I think it could have been done within 16 episodes and we'd have had a better show because of it.
So if you've got some patience, and some time to kill watch this show. It's got a good premise it's just poorly executed.

A love story full of suffering
I really loved the villains in this drama. They are quite villainous and cause all sorts of problems for our main couple. Se Na (Jung Yu Mi) has the same appearance as Yi Gak’s dead wife, and she has a complicated relationship with Park Ha which she exploits to her advantage.And Tae Moo (Lee Tae Sung) has it out for Yi Gak’s modern day look alike Tae Young. He does anything and everything to take him down so he can better his position in the family. This duo is all kinds of trouble, but I sure did get a kick out of watching them cause problems!
Then there’s the rest of our Joseon crew. Chi San (Choi Woo Shik), Man Bo (Lee Min Ho), and Yong Sul (Jung Suk Won) are dedicated to serving the Prince and will protect him no matter what. They are a quirky bunch with a lot of heart. And they are oh so hilarious! The crazy situations these guys get into are so funny, and I grew to love each of them.
I loved Yi Gak and Park Ha as a couple! This is one of those relationships that I got completely swoony over. It’s a slow build with a lot of cute bickering in the beginning. But then it blossoms into quite the fated love story. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking and so much more. I adored this couple, and their love story completely tugged at my heart.
The mystery surrounding the death of Yi Gak’s wife was also very interesting. The drama laid it out well and slowly peels back the layers as we learn the full story and how it effects our characters in the past and in the present.
This is also a drama that just gets better as it goes along. What starts out as mostly fun, turns into a very dramatic and intense drama. The story was just so good all the way through, and I was completely invested in the characters. The romance hit all of the right spots for me and gave me feels to last a lifetime. Everything just came together to make this a truly wonderful drama.

Fun Watch!
The beginning is perfect! I love the hilarious antics of the trio so much. Really endearing and reminds me of 80's movies (ex, Splash). But around episode 12, it just keeps tacking on scenarios with careful thought just to extend the life of the show, which is a shame, cause it's a really great show. It really could have ended in 16 episodes and been a masterpiece!I really don't like the ML there is just something off about him, also felt this way about him in 'The girl who sees scents'. Anyway, he's no longer on the acting scene due to some scandal.
I regress...back to the show...there are some glaring inconsistences, like when the envelopes get swapped and they have the whole transfer thing going on and I'm thinking...her name is printed on the actual plane ticket proving that she deliberately gave it to her. All of this could have been cleared up with one simple phone call...seriously.
I would have loved to have seen more of the comedic trio towards the end but their parts disappeared much like themselves!
They were more entertaining to watch than the love story. There a good OST, sounds kinda 70's in places.
Good strong characters, a bit one dimensional towards the end but you can't have it all!

Je suis assez partagé.e concernant ce drama et je vais expliquer pourquoi avec ma critique.Tout d'abord, je commencerais par les points positifs :
- L'acteur principal, Park Yu Chun, dans les différents rôles qu'il incarne est très bon, il nous montre ainsi qu'il sait jouer plusieurs rôles, plusieurs personnalités en une seule série, ce qui, à mon sens, n'est pas à la portée de tous.
- L'actrice principale, Han Ji Min, tient bien son rôle qui sort un peu des sentiers battus en incarnant une femme débrouillarde et déterminée au lieu d'apparaître comme la demoiselle en détresse comme c'est le cas bien souvent.
- Le comique de situation quand à la confrontation des personnages de Joseon catapultés dans ce futur ahurissant à leurs yeux, j'ai beaucoup ri de leurs réactions face à toutes les découvertes qu'ils font et à ce qui leur paraît important en comparaison de leur époque d'origine.
- Enfin, la romance qui est bien menée par les deux leads, mignonne mais non moins passionnée et parfois même désespérée, j'en aurais presque pleuré (et il m'en faut beaucoup pour que ça arrive, croyez moi!)
À présent, malheureusement, plusieurs choses me gênent et il faut bien le rapporter pour être un minimum honnête.
- Le rythme est bien souvent trop lent, le drama compte 20 épisodes et je pense qu'il aurait pu s'amputer de quelques-uns facilement, l'action et l'histoire avancent avec la rapidité d'un escargot asthmatique sous Lexomil.
- En parlant de l'histoire, le scénario a des ficelles grosses comme des cordes que les personnages ne voient pas! Ou pire, les occultent! Je sais qu'on veut résoudre les énigmes petit à petit mais là ils abusent, je spoile pour explication,
Spoil :
Dans l'épisode de l'incendie, Yong Tae Yong (alias, Lee Gak) voit bien Park Ha avec un masque et se rend compte qu'elle ressemble à Bu Yong mais c'est occulté jusqu'à à l'épisode où ils étendent le linge.
fin de Spoil
Et il y a plusieurs autres exemples du même genre...
- Les rôles secondaires ensuite, ils sont plus ou moins tous bien joués, là n'est pas la question, mais le drama les utilise comme un magicien sortirait un lapin de son chapeau, il les met sur le devant de la scène au besoin et ensuite ils disparaissent sans explication, et c'est quelque chose qui a le don de m'énerver. Ils le font même avec les trois acolytes du lead masculin alors qu'on aurait pu utiliser leurs capacités d'avantage et avec plus de scènes pour résoudre les énigmes par exemple.
Spoil :
ils sont présentés comme « les meilleurs des meilleurs » et ils finissent enfermés dans un appartement à se gaver de pizzas, c'est du gâchis selon moi.
fin de Spoil
- Et la fin... comme dire sans spoiler à mort... je ne peux dire que, selon moi, le drama n'assume pas sa fin qui n'est pas un total happy end ou alors, si c'est une fin assumée, ça veut dire que l'amour ne repose que sur les apparences ce qui est normalement contraire à la définition qu'on donne au véritable amour.
Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis.

The episodes were rather thrilling. The way how this storyline was built was a masterpiece I must say. Be cause 'til the end I didn't know exactly what will happen.
Actors were good and I fell in love with one special song - Ali "Hurt"
BUT why I gave only 7 for overall - because the solution for this story was not my kind of thing. And it's not going to be my favourite drama.
There are certain scenes I would rewatch, but the ending.. I loved the 19th episode - I really cried. But somehow the last episode didn't move me as much as I expected. At first I didn't get it, how it ended exactly - then after thinking about it I understood, but it's still not the same..
Anyways, if you need a drama with fun and thrill about a big mess being cleared up with romantic moments, then it's for you.

This drama starts off HILARIOUS and you can't help but laugh out loud! It has a very interesting story and you get addicted to it very easily.
Then after some time, shit gets serious, and deep, and depressing....
I remember watching this drama in the first half of December 2012, and the fact that I remember it so clearly is amazing in itself because I have the worst memory. Here in my country we celebrate Lucia, and I remember sitting up waaaaaay past my bedtime watching this drama. And I remember that I only made it to episode 19. Oh man I was bawling my eyes out!! I can honestly say I have never cried SO MUCH because of a drama or movie before, and I am the kind of person who cries because "that high note in the song was just too beautiful! ;;__;;". Yeah. And I had snot and tissue papers EVERYWHERE! And not being able to watch the last episode until I got home the day after was absolute TORTURE! My friend still makes fun of me because of this, as we celebrate Lucia we go to church and sing and so on and I had an actual mental breakdown in church because of it! It may seem as if I am overreacting but this is honestly how great this drama is and how it made me feel! I feel like I needed to make this clear and let people know (especially us sensitive people) that this drama will make you cry your eyes out in a fetus position!
But to be honest, the ending still to this day confuses me. So if someone could explain for me I would be SO HAPPY! Sorry for the lousy review!

The acting was INCREDIBLE from ALL of the actors - I truly have to give my dues to the actors who played Se Na and Yong Mu (the baddies) because I truly hated them LOL !!! Truly Brilliant.
The music fit the the story line so PERFECTLY, I loved how all of the songs were incorporated with how you felt at each moment!
I would DEFINITELY watch this over again!!!
And the story line was PERFECT - I cried, laughed, and felt in tune with the characters throughout!!!
One of my FAVOURITE rom-coms and I would definitely recommend EVERYONE to watch!!

Acting: The acting was brilliant on all sides. I do want to point out though, because this is a COMEDY, a few of the characters or more serious scences can seem a little over exaggerated at times. If you're able to look past this though, you should find this very enjoyable.
Music: Music was a 10/10. Very moving and matches well with the emotional scenes. I've had the songs stuck in my head long after I've finished watching. And I'm not tired of them yet!
Rewatch Value for me is really high. Despite my uncertainty at times, this show undeniably had me laughing and crying more than any other I've ever watched. I very much look forward to rewatching this drama that stole my heart.
Overall, I am floored by how spectacular this drama was. From the high caliber of the comedy, to the plot, the music, and the ROMANCE!!! (normally, I'd touch on this more, but I don't want to give anything away; it speaks volumes on its own). I enjoyed this SO much in fact, that it only took me three days to complete, and I wasn't bored once! Anyone whose watched a lot of dramas will tell you, that's crazy! I sincerely regret not picking this one up sooner. I hope that you find it just as enjoyable

The story was good and kept you guessing, and the romance was pretty good and very cute, but I felt that there was a lot more they could of done, and they could of gone into some of the side characters a lot more then what they did, and towards the end it feels like everyone just disappears except the lead roles. I felt very distanced from them and it made it seem like they just didn't matter much in the end.
Overall though this was a fantastic drama and I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you like a good romantic comedy.
