Splash Splash Love (2015)

A Korean friend of mine was raving about this drama. She was like, "Do Joon is so handsome! You have to watch this". Since I like Do Joon being a B2ST fan myself I thought why not. And voila! This drama sucked me in so easily. I thought it was really cute and fun.

Do Joon blew me away here. I actually want to see him as a chaebol/king in any drama because he did a great job of it here. What I loved about this drama was that they stayed true to history and yet played with it in every way. I might not know a lot about Korean history but I know that they at least managed to not distort facts through this drama.

The two episodes go by really quickly and the romance is so worth watching! It will give you flutters and leave you with a warm feeling. Managing that in just 2 episodes is commendable and I wanted more. :D

This drama is enjoyable every single minute and it's amazing how they managed all Kdrama sageuk cliches within these two episodes. Plus the kisses are great too! Give this drama a go, you won't regret it. :D

Are you looking for a short drama that makes your heart clutch due to the leading couple and the story?
This is the drama for you!

I really cannot begin to implore how great this drama was, and I am saddened that it was only a measly two episode! I love the premises of time travel and a love that stretched boundaries. The fact that this drama was able to produce such deep emotions from me despite being only 2 episodes says a lot about the story, acting and directing of the drama. I just want to stress that you don't feel like the drama is rushed at all and it's paced in a way that shows the viewers that the relationship between the characters are developing at a steady and realistic pace.
It was also absolutely beautiful to look at and I really need to see Seul Gi and Doo Joon acting in a drama together again!

if you come across this drama please HESITATE to watch!
people kept on saying it was cute and what not, so I watched it and was highly disappointed.
the plot is pretty cool but the director fudged it up by making it cliche
if you watch tons of historical dramas this is pretty lame in comparison... even for a short special.
the music was pretty good in my opinion and so was the acting.
the acting/actors weren't bad
its seems like they worked with what they had.
the plot was too short and boring. i found my self wanting to skip many of the two ep scenes.
there was no real character development.
I don't know, i just found it to be really dry and boring.
I wouldn't waste my time if i were you.

Damn MBC should release more of such mini dramas!!! I mean from a mini drama which only has two 1 hour long episodes, you shouldn't expect much from it right? But boy I was so wrong! This mini drama gave me so much emotions than I could have ever hoped for and I really felt as though I was watching a normal full length drama, which is definitely not something that can be easily accomplished, so credit to this drama :)

Story: Really really good. I have watched 2 korean dramas based on time-travel and I really like them (especially Queen In Hyun's man) so I guess I have a soft spot for such dramas but objectively speaking, SSL was executed perfectly in terms of story line so really, it's just darn good.

Acting: Having watched Let's eat, I acknowledged Yoon Doo joon's acting ability but in here, he really seemed like a king. KIm Seul Gi has always been known for her supporting roles in dramas (more notably, Flower Boy Next Door and Oh My Ghostess) and she was great in both dramas so this drama is a confirmation that she can handle the lead role as well. Looking forward to her future projects ^^

There's a reason why people (INCLUDING KOREANS) are demanding a second season of SSL and I am sure the reason will be unraveled once you watch this ~~

This drama, my friends, this drama is the best I've seen this year. I might not say it was a 10/10 but it was definitely worth watching. It was recommended in a Kdrama group I have joined lately.

The story takes place in the Joseon period. Never had I see a Kdrama about time traveling before so this hooked me. It's not wrong to assume that I'll be watching more in the future. It was very cute, funny and made me feel all the fun the characters were having. The whole story of Hangul creation was amazing. I loved it! Maybe because I am fascinated by history in general, I don't know.

The cast. Do I have to say anything about Doo-Joon, one of the first Korean stars I came across? I loved the idea of a drama with him as a main protagonist. I didn't expect him to be as good as he was. The actress was natural and did a very good job imo. It's suprising to say that she didn't annoy me one bit (like other female protagonists usually) The rest of the cast was well chosen. They all fit their roles perfectly.

I would definitely rewatch this drama. It's very short and against popular opinion, I found the two episodes perfect and in no need for more. But even if they decide to give us another episode, I'd be one of the first to watch it.

PERFECT FOR A RAINY EVENING

Omg this was so so good!! I liked this better than some longer dramas, which may sound ridiculous since this was just a two-episode drama special, but this was so easy to watch and had all the elements a good rom-com needs. The historical and time travel concept did not drag, and the ending was satisfying. For two one-hour episodes, this was perfect. This is by far one of my favourite Korean short drama/drama special!

The cast was also really well blended together, I loved seeing Ahn Hyo Seop here. The main leads were so cute together, I kept smiling and giggling like an idiot once they started liking each other. The final scene was also beautiful, such a satisfying ending.

This is a perfect evening watch, it's like watching a two-hour movie and I loved how it was raining while I was watching it, the perfect ambience for the concept of this drama. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a light but well-executed watch.

I absolutely loved the actress from Oh My Ghostess and K-SNL, KSG. She is a riot in everything she is in. Plus, she is the size of a young girl, so she is absolutely adorable in anything she wears and all rolls she plays. In this drama she is a high school student who doesnt have a purpose in life. She wishes to be swept away to a far away land on a very important day for her, academically. She finds herself splashing her way (hence, splash splash) to Josean where she turns her academically challenged thoughts of herself into a scholar as naturally, no one has any idea on modern thoughts. Living their lives in superstition and neo confuscionism, this fresh breath of air appears out of nowhere in the most hilarious of ways and the cute drama short takes on from there. I give this drama a 10 because for two episodes, it packs it nicely into what you want to see and when you want to see it. They could have turned this into a normal 16-24 episode drama, no problem. However, to keep it clever, I like that it is only 2 episodes. In my opinion, it makes it rewatchable. However, I have yet to ever (which, that has been a very long time) rewatch a drama. A general rule of thumb for me, is I like the feels the first time and I do not need them again. I like to savor what I have seen and preserve it. That way rewatching it doesnt do much to change that initial impact. But, I digress. For the short duration of the drama, the OST was cute and thanks to Viki I know what the words actually meant. Very cute, very original. Overall, this drama earns a 10 from me, and unless I hated a drama or absolutely love a drama, I generally do not review it. :-) Hope this helps!

Watch this now!

I LOVED THIS DRAMA!! I loved that it was short, without all the unnecessary filler that most K-dramas have. The storyline was so complete and well fleshed out that I didn't feel that there was anything missing (other than more episodes to watch the two of them together!)So romantic. The leads were WONDERFUL together!! Their chemistry was amazing. I smiled through most of the show.
The two main actors worked so well together, and both of their characters grew from knowing the other. It was sad for me to think about living his whole life never seeing her again, fathering tons of children for the monarchy, etc., but I guess there was no other way they could have resolved the time gap. I would have liked just a few more minutes of them together at the end, but there is literally nothing not to like about this drama. I think this is my new "palate cleansing" drama to watch after I've watched a drama that was unsatisfying. Watch it, you'll be glad you did!

Such a short & charming drama, surprisingly educational

Dan Bi (Kim Seul Gi), a senior high school student who is losing her motivation to study ends up time-travelling to the Joseon period at the day of her college test. She appears right in front of the palace royalties who were desperately calling for the rain. The King (Yoon Doo Joon) gets intrigued by her presence and knowledge, so they made a deal in order to make it possible for her to go back.

It's an easy drama to get through. Perfect for days when you don't feel like watching anything or don't know what to watch next. I enjoyed the comedy, the romance and character arcs, it's very satisfying and made me so happy, lol ^-^ The time travelling aspect is simple, the couple get to know each other naturally, it happens exactly how I want it; strong chemistry, fun banter, with cute classic cliché scenes. No palace intrigue as there's no time for that, but it's surprisingly educational. There was a hint of history woven holistically and that's a high-quality storytelling not to miss. Like I mentioned, it's short, only two episodes, so practically a movie. In case you're curious, it's really worth checking out!
