The story of this drama is pretty good, but not great. What I love from this drama is they made this with good touch of comedy, a lot different with others saeguk drama I have watched. It is a romcom on first 9/10 episodes, then turned to be saeguk-melodrama type, and I don't know why I like the way they shifted the story like this. But honestly, the idea of Crown Prince loving an accused traitor's daughter is really lame and boring. It is even more common to find this type of story than Cinderella kind of story. This is why I don't watch saeguk drama much. Overall, the story is good, especially the love story, and they don't focus that much on kingdom's thingy.
Acting 9.3/10
Nam Ji Hyun never disappoints me everytime she shows up. Her acting is really great. I expected her to do this great job anyway so nothing to be suprized for. But, what suprized me is DO's acting has stands out. His gaze was something else, it felt weird at first but it became deeper later on, and what I mean is deeper in a good way. The chemistry between the two is also great. It convinces me that Won Deuk and Hong Shim fall in love to each other.
Ost 7.8/10
None is memorable for me. They didn't overuse it though, so it fits the story pretty well.
Rewatch Value 7.1/10
I might watch it again in the future, but I don't invest my emotion to it, so maybe only for seeing some of the scenes there.

It is a light and heart-warming drama. It is a rom-com. There is almost no plot twist in this drama and you won't have any roaller coaster mood because this drama almost never has that "sad" and "heartbreaking" moments. If you love plot twist, this drama is certainly not for you. And as a drama goes on, we will see mostly romantic scene. The story isn't what the author focus on. Sometimes this becomes a huge problem, because it made the drama boring to watch
Acting/Cast
This drama is led by superstar actor and actress, whom they are Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young. They definetely did a great job of potraying their character. Their chemistry is certainly great, looking by the fact, there are rumors that they already "date". But, I would like to say, Park Min Young did some unnatural gestures. Park Seo Joon really did a great job I would say, but sometimes, I felt weird watching him as the character.
Music
The osts were good, I love one of them, but that's it. The music mainly didn't affect our (or mine?) emotion of watching the drama.
Rewatch value
I mostly rewatch the drama for its sweet moment, but not only for it. The story is a bit boring, so I might hesitate to rewatch it.

The idea of the story is integrating a game universe and real universe, which somehow weirdly unique.
The story began with a jaw dropping starts. The story progresses steady but too slow. I really love the core story, but the tempo kills the excitement of watching this.
The problem is that there were too many unnecessary details and time shifts to explain minor incidents that happened before rather than explaining what will happen and what happened with the core story.
Acting
Hyun Bin potrays Jin Woo perfectly. The suffer is so real and I am amazed how great he was potraying this character.
On the other hand, Park Shin Hye started awkwardly. Jung Hee Ju seems to be so awkward and out of places. But it started to get better as the story progress.
The other cast did their job great, especially the "bugs".
The chemistry between the leads is great, but not the best.
Ost
The only great ost is Is You by Ailee. The rest are average.

Story
A sci fi, fantasy, romance, and thriller drama. It is a roller-coaster mood. The tempo of the drama is fast. The story also has a lot of plot twists. And I love it. What makes this drama even better is that it almost doesn't have any particular plot-holes. The romance story was attached to it, and most people will agree that it is part of the story.
Acting/Cast
Seo Kang Joon arguably has the hardest roles in K-drama ever. Not only he acted as Human and Robot, he also needed to act as robot pretending to be a human, human pretending to be himself, human pretending to be a robot, which are really hard. He has done a fantastic job. Hats off for him!
Gong Seung Yeon on the other hand, played as Kang So Bong. She also did a great job. Her acting to show Kang So Bong's reaction and emotion is totally amazing. I'm becoming her fan. Her part is also hard. She needs to build chemistry and also she also needs to build hatred feeling to the same person. Everytimes she cried, I also cried. I feel like I'm in love in her and Kang So Bong.
Other casts were doing a great job as well.
The dynamics of relationship between Nam Shin 3 and Kang So Bong is also the best. Kang So Bong has the most complex emotion, followed by Nam Shin (people will argue that it is otherwise, I would still stand on my opinion). Kang So Bong had felt hate, disgust, pity, joy, sadness, anger, and love to Nam Shin 3. I love their romance scenes.
Music
The music were great, but their osts wouldn't beat the likes of Goblin and WYWS. Some of them were misplaced. But they are still good as standalones.
Rewatch Values
I would love to rewatch it again and again and again. I hope there will be a second season. Painfully it won't happen
