K-drama Feels:
- A perfect balance of romance, fantasy, drama, and law.
- The story is well-paced and engaging. It is full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end.
- The comedy was gold, I wanted more of the love potion comedy and more spells.
- The sub plots are interesting and kept me interested.
- Rowoon perfectly embodied Jang Shin Yu in all moods and aspects. He looks so gorgeous in this drama.
- I just fell in love with Jang Shin Yu, sino ba namang hindi ma-iinlove sa kanya?
- One aspect of the show that I dislike is their inability to finish the shamanism/curse storyline. Parang yun na yun, magic, nawala na ang sumpa at completely healed na si Shin yu?
- If you enjoy light fantasy, mystery, and reincarnation dramas, you should give this one a shot.
My Rating – 8.5/10 (Its Rowoon watchable for that alone. But it is also an interesting premise with a nice romance.)
