well, its a open secret isn’t it? my love for secret garden! goodness gracious me. when was the last time i felt so cra cra over a drama? i think it was cinderella sister’s 1st 4 episode. or maybe its way back during Family Honour’s era. this time round its different. this show’s torturing bit by bit. shouldn’t have started this so soon. now i,m stuck at ep. 13.5, refusing to continue watching, for i know i,ll go crazy when it stops at ep. 16.
10minutes into the pilot episode, i already had good vibes about it. The way Kim Ju Won aka Hyun Bin reacted when his name was called out on television made me cracked up like a little girl receiving her first X’Mas present! Following, was all sorts of fan-girl chortle in almost every scene Hyun Bin’s in it.

To be fair, parts of the plot are recycled from ur typical kdramas. but what made this drama stand out is its execution. the way history scenes are re-enacted, how they include book titles/quotes as part of the storyline, the witty-yet-sarcastic-and-blunt exchange between the actors, all these are what makes this show so so engaging!
Just to add on, script-writer for this drama is the lady who wrote Lovers in Paris too!! hope she doesn’t pull a prank on us. give us the happy ending! 라임 주원 계속 사랑하게해주세요~! (in Lovers in Paris, the ending was, it was all.a.Dream. wth. LOL)
now i,ve gotta wait till ep.18 comes out before i embark on the remaining eps! 忍~
