Eun ki is incredible. Interesting and such a badass!
I normally hate melodramas...but this one...I can get on board with.

The drama is finally finding its feet.
The whole bringing life to a cold dead heart metaphor used in a literal sense was just about the right amount of cheese.
The relationship dynamic between the King and Queen is still delightful to watch. She is by far the most interesting character of the show. Though I admit the King's self-doubt and bad judgement calls make the show. I really look forward to seeing if/how he will rise to challenge of ruling the kingdom as the story progresses.
The villains are still incredibly dull and one dimensional. The blinging jewellery, stupid grey wig, cat, femme fatale crap won't change that. But I'm hoping that something else might like the fact Yoo Oh Sung is a good actor (hint: Get yo act together writers!)
Now that we have some back stories, some context, I'm finally connecting with the leads and enjoying the show more...even if it is still slightly awkward at times.
I'm basically watching this show and liking about 60% of what is going on...the rest just doesn't interest me.
LOL at the cemented pavements...talk about an anachronism! The drama is still kooky as hell. But hey! It's kinda addictive.
Will I be watching the next episode?
Sure why not.
Do I love this drama?
No...not really.

Thoughtful little moments made this episode.
From simply sweet to adorably funny.
I do love how we are getting to know more about the leads and what brought them to this moment.
The deathiversary, the bullying back story.
My favourite thing about the drama is the natural way they sprinkle in TaeJun's memories of his mother.
Sure there are some plot holes and they keep 'em coming!
But this is really an enjoyable drama nonetheless. Find me a drama I can say that about.
I love how TaeJun had been opening up.
But is it all moving a little too fast? I mean this is only episode 5!

It has potential. That's basically it. Potential.
For fans of the other adaptations, you might not love it yet but you won't outright hate it. Not quite yet.
But you won't love it yet either.So far...I just 'like' it.
They toned down the manga/anime esque feel of the Japanese/Taiwanese adaptations and gave it their own spin. Trying to keep the less wacky and more natural. I miss the crazy J-version antics but glad that the K-version did not attempt this.
There are some wonderful shots and the character development is tight-lipped. No 'as you know Bob' conversation just quickly trying to get the back stories out of the way. The drama teases us and keeps it interesting.
The supporting cast are there to do exactly that. Support. No unnecessary scenes and FINALLY AN ENGLISH SPEAKER WHO DOESN'T SOUND LIKE AN IDIOT!
Some chuckle worthy scenes well acted out(The suitcase scene especially).
I'm pleasantly surprised about how Minho doesn't suck. I was worried he would (MASSIVE SHAWOL by the way, not bashing - my love for him makes me super critical). He might just be able to get through this without making me cringe! But too early to start gloating in the faces of the haters. Sulli is adorable...so far. Fingers crossed it sticks. It might just work out.
Lee Hyun-woo makes an endearing Nakatsu. I can't wait to see him fall in love. So far, so natural. My Ikuta Toma bias hasn't made me want to punch him. So a success there. :)
Can't wait to meet the rest of dorm leaders properly.
This drama despite your biases does not suck...it isn't mindblowing but as far as first episodes go it has been a respectable opening.
It could be good, it might even already be.
Let's hope its doesn't disappoint.
