I just came back from watching this drama AGAIN and every time I am blown away by the screenplay, cinematography, editing, acting, chemistry, and comedy that this show wraps in a neat little bow and delivers with an extra helping of feels.
Story:
The story seems pretty stock at first: time traveling man from the past falls in love with a woman in modern day Seoul (see Rooftop Prince). But you'll find that Queen In-hyun's Man takes it farther... with frequent jumps back and forth keeping our main couple apart (sometimes for weeks at a time) draws for great conflict, especially considering the method Boong Do needs to get to the future in the first place (watch to find out!). The story is always moving forward, and though it seems slow, those slow moments are filled with sweet fluff for our main duo.
Characters:
I cannot sing Yoo In Na and Ji Hyun Woo's praises enough. Because they had a relationship outside the drama for a long time, the chemistry between them was so electric I could see literal sparks fly between them. Boong Do and Hee Jin are so adorable together, with him being a sarcastic little bugger and she with her extroverted and openminded views. The way she teaches him about the modern day is so precious, and how he can figure that she's just pulling his leg but goes along anyway. You can see them fall for each other, and it makes their reunion in the end that much more meaningful.
Music:
I can have "I'm Coming to See You" stuck in my head for hours at a time, and every time it plays on the drama I have to sing along. In some dramas, the main OST can get so overplayed and it starts to get tiresome, but this one I never get tired of. The "Same Sky, Different Time" song is also heart wrenching.
Overall:
A compelling drama that leaves you satisfied, wanting more, and returning for more. Excuse me while I watch those fabulous kissing scenes a few more times... phew!
