(idk how to rate rewatch value, so it's a neutral 5)

modern snow white story, all with an evil witch and a princess, an all-seeing tech mirror, dwarfs, the occasional poisoning incident, and of course, a prince!

who in one of their initial encounters literally awakes her with a kiss, lol. (well, CPR. but she swore it was a kiss!)

Ji Chan Wook was who kept me watching even after the initial opening in barcelona put me off a bit. he's basically invincible, as we can see straight from his amazing introduction in that tower, so his action scenes are always super exciting (relative to tv), while ultimately still finding ways to the stakes intact.

Yoona is amazing too. again, i don't know her as idol, don't know her group, but i may just check them out now. the two are a great fit and she knocks the childlike recluse performance out the park without ever falling too deep into the airhead trope associated with that. it's cute, but doesn't overdo it.

i appreciated the nature of their relationship as the show went on. no spoilers, but it was pretty much handled perfectly given this is meant to be an action/thriller show first.

all the sidecharacters were great too. lots of growth from everyone. seemed like a bad guy was turning to a friend every other ep during the first half. Lee Ye Eun caught my eye especially, so i'm gonna be hopping on her filmog/dramas asap.

Song Yoon Ah as the villain is nothing if not captivating. even when hating her you can't help but love. an excellently written & performed character all around.

the music is of course amazing again!! i'm loving these super memorable scores that k dramas put to work so effectively. big bonus for the fantastic ominous-old-timey-german-music (idk what else to call it lol) which set the perfect mood, every time.

this is GREAT fun. i ran through the episodes without stopping every time i picked it up. the finale, like Uncontrollably Fond, after initially feeling a wee bit rushed, given all the loose ends and storylines, falls perfectly into place once it all wraps.

now excuse me as i get to working out again so i can achieve this Ji Chan Wook bod. (after i start my next drama..)
