Story:
Very well made. Well paced. It was so cute and so fluffy I could die. In short, it's beautiful. Most of the historical drama with a twist of time travelling always ends up as one of the main leads ending up in the future. But this one, is the other way around. Dan Bi, a senior high school student, has this ability to travel to another time (correct me if I'm wrong) and at the day of the NSAT, she ended up in the Joseon period. Well, she met the King at that time (I forgot his name) and later both of them fell in love with each other. I'll leave to you figuring out the rest of the story, but I assure it's really awesome. And funny. And adorable. I mean, for a drama special, this deserves high praise. This beat most of the long drama I watched in the past where the plot was dragged too long it became lame. I wouldn't really mind if they made this into a drama but I see this as fitting as it is (being a 2-episode drama special). Kudos to the writers!
Acting/Casting:
If you have seen Oh My Ghost, then you should know that our Soon Ae is the one playing Dan Bi (female main lead). Oh my gosh she's really terrific. She never failed to amuse me whatever role she takes. You can say that I'm really her fan because she will never fail to make everyone laugh. The male main lead is gorgeous too, and seriously, why is it every handsome Korean actor/idol looks really good in historical clothes? Esp the clothes of the King or a nobleman? Haha, but kidding aside, the role suits him well. Though the two of them (the main leads) don't really have a strong chemistry (though they look good together) they pulled it off. The romance they portrayed was so sweet and innocent that it made my heart flutter.
Music:
Hmm, honestly, only a single song somehow attracted my attention. Don't get me wrong, the OSTs are okay. But that last song in the last episode really peaked my interest (maybe because the show is too short that the other songs didn't leave a striking impression on me or what). But well, I'm not really an expert in evaluating songs after all. I like what I like, so that leaves for you to decide whether they are good.
Rated this 9.5/10. I could have given this 10 but somehow there are some points in the story that I'm not really that satisfied. But the over all show is a hit. I must say it was one of the best show in this year. Definitely enjoyable.
If you're looking for a light-hearted romantic show (shorter than a typical drama but longer than a movie) with a tinge of Korean history (I assure you this part will not bore you), then try watching Splash Splash Love. No, you don't really have to think about it. Just watch it. Then you can judge later by letting it enchant you the way it charmed me.
Ciao.
