I'll never forget the falling stars.

This series reminded me of the reason why I used to love Korean drama... I have to admit I was feeling pretty jaded and was straying toward the Japanese territory... But man, I lingered over this for one whole week (a record for me, since I never susually last more than 4 days in finishing a series), and it was priceless. One of the best Korean series I've ever seen, I have to say... It had its inconsistencies, and to this moment I still can't reconcile the opening scene came in, and of course I thought the prince had enough balls to oust the one who together with the prince's mom and enok's dad orchestrated the entire thing, and of course gil dong's father was in the right all along but never got any vindication, but I liked it... and count me in the minority who loves the ending (haha, reminiscent of the question about Soulmate having a sequel or not...).

Stellar acting for Kang Ji Hwan, as usual... I've always admired his skill, ever since I saw him in Exhibition of Fireworks (the series might have tanked, but you'd agree he acted his part impressively) 90 Days, Time for Love (sob!sob!) and again in Seoul Scandal (that's another series I liked... have you seen it?)... and This time he didn't disappoint. He was brilliant. Sung YUri's acting reminded me of Joo Yoo Rin in My Girl (I don't know if it was deliberate, probably is, throwing in the hairstyles and all...), but at least she got to show that she could do more than be really pretty while crying. I was surprised at the king... Jang Geun Seok... I knew he had such short airtime in Hwang Jin Yi, not that I felt the loss anyway, but here, he was a presence... I have to say I was rooting for him only slightly less than Gil dong... hahah... But I liked the way he showed how the king could be vulnerable even though the time called for him to be iron-willed... Definitely worth the air-time given to him.
