Kim Hee Sun is a gemini girl, she’ll remain young no matter how old she was. the chemistry between the two of them is just perfect!! loved it loved it

hi.. i already watched this drama through online. but the dilemma is, im a bit confused about the whole story. did deja vu happen to yoo eun soo? in order to correct what needs to be corrected? did she go to the past before general (lee min ho) get her from the present? please enlighten me. thanks
April 30th, 2013 at 4:31 pm
i wonder why the rating is too low??? This is a great and brilliant drama! the chemistry between lee min ho and kim hee sun is awesome.. perfect!!
May 1st, 2013 at 9:31 pm
Just finish the series. Wow… Kim hee sun still looks young. Good drama story and lee min ho makes the series even more interesting to watch. Great drama series and nice ending too…

I wish this drama will be aired here in the Philippines.

I didnt start watching this drama with high expectation due to low rating, but hey to my great surprise, this is one of the rare drama that I will watch for the second time again in near future. Just love looking at Lee min ho and Kim hee sun. Disregard the actual age gap, both of them acted very well in the chemistry of love and hope and endurance! Gambateh Lee min ho and Kim hee sun
!

This drama airing in indonesia now, monday to friday on 4.00 pm.. I like this drama so much
May 16th, 2013 at 8:23 am
I started this drama like 6 months ago. I never finished it. NO OFFENSE, but I thought this drama was kinda draggy. It had great cast, interesting storyline, and all that, but it just didn’t catch my attention and hook me into it. I felt like the main girl, Kim Hee Sun, was kind of annoying because all that was in her mind was “I wanna go home!”. She’s a wonderful actress, but I was bugged by her. As for Lee Min Ho, he’s okay. I liked him in City Hunter better. Again, I hope no one got offended because this was the 2nd best Kdrama on koreandrama.org but I felt like The Moon That Embraces The Sun was better, and it didn’t even make the top 8 dramas! I know that was sooo 5 months ago, but still. I’m not sure if I’m going to finish it…

For the most part I liked this series. I liked the main guy and all the bad guys because they were just awesome! The main lady I didn’t really like but she got better in the end. I’m glad they ended up together. I found the king and queen to be annoying. I wonder how the story would be had the actor playing the doctor not been injured.

Does anyone know if there will be a “special” to wrap up a few loose ends? Darn good drama!! I have watched the 1st 3 eps & last 3 eps recently. Faith is still 1 of my favs.
May 21st, 2013 at 8:43 pm
I just start watching this drama bcoz it is airing in my country too but sorry to say this drama is boring.. Kim Hee Sun is great actress but her role in this drama so annoying.. don’t make any compare but I can’t help myself for me I think Song Seung Hun is way better as a doctor who flew back to the past in dr.Jin at least he know about Joseon history… I think Time Slip dr.Jin and Faith has similliar storyline.. bcoz I watched dr.Jin first so this drama didn’t make me hooked either…

i liked the tv drama series faith very, very much. there’s a corrolattion between the past and the present especially the medical side. the actor and the actress portrayed the role very much. my emotion was carried in the past as i watched the drama. long live for lee min ho.
May 27th, 2013 at 9:34 pm
I VERY LIKE THIS DRAMA . . . . . . .
June 5th, 2013 at 8:57 am
Sorry people has the right to give their opinion, isnt it?
Well a lots of people ask me to watch faith. Well recent week i started to watch until the middle. Guess what! N0thing happen. The story is SO0O0O0O S0O0O0O0O0O B0O0O0RED! Really bored, swear! I d0nt understand what the point plot the do in that drama! So confusing! N0 doubt its got low rating. The good drama generally (not all drama) has rating upper at least 13%
so the conclusion is this drama ORDINARY! I dont know why this suck drama got many votes last year. Oouch i forget, there is lee min ho here, thats why. . .
Some people (not all people) so addicted with this story cz they interested with him. Lee min ho is good actor for me but unfortunately this drama is SO TRASH for me. . .
NB : the soundtrack also bad.

I just started to watch Korean drama last month and have an interest in period/historical drama. Coincidently I bought a DVD of this drama last week and finished watching the whole story yesterday. It is a very good drama and i will started to watch it again soon. (Note : I m not a fan of Lee Min Ho).. so.. Not LMH that making the drama became good.. It s the whole story itself.
June 14th, 2013 at 6:22 pm
Faith was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome the main actress did it for me. Given the situation she was in, the way she accepted it was all natural and the way they fell in love is something that also came naturally so realy this series should have perfomed better than it did coz I’ve watched it like 4 times now and it still has the same impact wow…..
June 15th, 2013 at 12:45 pm
i watched this about 5 times but i still cant get enough of it. i still cant understand the whole plot, but i can say that this is one of a kind series. it may not be the best but i still consider it as one of the best series i have watched.
June 15th, 2013 at 3:33 pm
