Eventually, older sister Hwa Yong marries Crown Prince Lee Gak. Time passes and are now adults. Younger sister Bu Yong is now a smart woman, good with needlework. Older sister Hwa Yong is uneasy that her husband, Crown Prince Lee Gak, and Bu Young get along well. One day, Crown Prince Lee Gak wakes up in the early morning. He finds that Hwa Yong is not next to him. He feels something strange about the situation and calls for an eunuch. At this time, an eunuch comes running to the Crown Prince and informs him that Hwa Yong is found dead in a pond. Lee Gak suspects that his wife’s death is not by accident. He puts together a team to investigate his wife’s death. When the team awaits to interview a witness, a group of assassins appears and chases them. Crown Prince Lee Gak and his men are chased to the edge of a cliff. The group jumps off the cliff. The Prince from the Joseon era travels to the future with his entourage Song Man Bo (Lee Min Ho), Woo Yong Sul (Jung Suk Won) and Do Chi San (Choi Woo Shik).
Seoul 2012
When Park Ha (Han Ji Min) was young, her father remarried and Park Ha gained older step-sister Se Na (Jung Yoo Mi). When their parents left for work, older step-sister Se Na despised having to take care of her younger sister. One day, while younger sister Park Ha sleeps inside a truck, the truck suddenly departs. Even though Se Na sees the truck leaving, she turns around and pretends that it isn’t happening. Time passes, younger sister Park Ha is now living in America. While, Park Ha sells fruits as a sidewalk vendor, Yong Tae Yong (Micky Yoochun) sees her and feels a connection with Park Ha. Yong Tae Moo (Lee Tae Sung) appears in front of Yong Tae Young. They are cousins. The following day, the two men boards a yacht. While the boat is sailing, they have a small fight and Yong Tae Yong falls into the water. His cousin doesn’t attempt to save Yong Tae Yong and actually attempts to hide evidence that he was there. He then jumps into the water and swims away. At this time, younger sister Park Ha receives a phone call that her family has been located in South Korea. Park Ha travels to South Korea and learns that her father has just passed away. At her father’s funeral, Park Ha meets her step-mother and older step-sister Se Na. Park Ha has no memory of how she was separated from her family. Park Ha settles down in Seoul. One night, when she comes back to her rooftop room, she discovers four men, in Korean traditional clothing, sitting in her room…..

Having a great time watching this drama. The three sidekicks have great chemistry. Started watching Korean drama back in May and have seen a lot of them I like and don t like. This is a keeper. Laughing out of the blue is not something I do, but the script and acting together works. I like Korean dramas because there are enough if the kind that suit my taste.

i like this film that it gives humors to viewers like me, but i just don’t appreciate that the relationships or the time between Pak Ha and the real Tae Yong met each other is short. why is it that paK ha didn’t met with Tae yong and started to be inloved with each other before the prince came in to pak ha’s life, so as to become the substitute. meanwhile, Pak ha and the real tae yong has no relationship at all here because the one that was loved by pak ha is the prince which in reality they will never be together. also, during the time that i’m watching the drama, some events were forwarded, so no further explanations were elaborated on how the following scenes happened. .
I also noticed how is the scene or the location of the film in the last part /episode of the film, its not alive anymore because it is very obvious that the area was occupied only by the time that this film was made. there were no people around the scene that are working as they are the citizens of the prince…

I have watched this drama so many times but still I laughed and cried so hard..I just can’t get over it..I knew it’s not perfect, but still I love this drama, it gave me many expression, meanings of life, love, family..Seriously, I’m addicted to this drama, feels like want to watch again and again even though I’ve just finished watching it..Congrats to all casts for the wonderful acting and also for the crews for the wonderful job..
To Micky Yoochun, u’re the best acting-dol ever! Because of RTP, I’ve became ur fan and JYJ as well..
October 14th, 2012 at 2:27 pm
i love this drama
