Splash Splash Love (2015)

A girl going back in time to flee from her exams is meeting the king of Joseon and has now to help him getting rain back in his land - and slowely, by every second they are together, their feelings are growing.
But her place is in the future and his in the past...
Even though the story is already not the newest and the policians of the king are getting on every nerve this was possibly the best short drama without a love triangle I've ever seen.
Nope not possibly...

The Acting is great, the cast is just pretty, there was not a single moment I had to laugh because of the naivity behind someones lines. There were funny moments because of which I had to stop the drama because I couldn't see the subtitles clearly while laughing.
I never expected this drama to have such funny moments, after tons of serious historical drama episodes without any moment of laughing I did not expect those "jokes" and laughed even harder.
There weren't any unneeded details. It was just so pretty. No unneeded flashbacks, no fillers, just one simple story going on - faster and prettier than I would ever expect of an "historical" drama. It was simply beautiful.

Happy moments, funny moments, sad moments, romance... every moment was cherished and not destroyed by to loud music which didn't fit with the situation or unneeded dialog/monolog.
And when the music stepped in then it fits, and hows the hidden thoughts of the girl. What else would you wish for? fitting music which not only makes the athmosphere but also steps in for the hidden monolog inside of the protagonists head, which was in many other dramas said out loud and destroyed the moment.

I'm not praising this drama for nothing. Those 2 episodes, those 2 hours of pretty athmosphere and beautiful good acting are nothing less then 10 out of 10 points/stars. Even if it was short, yust think about this: how would it be with another 20 episodes only consisting of fillers and then destroying this beautiful ending? No thanks, then I shall rather have only 2 beautiful hours of 100% story.

I wanna rewatch it already. So, give it a try! It's not sooo long and even if you don't like historical storys or timetravelling this much - it's worth it.
Make an opinion yourself. I can only say, that I liked it really really much, everything (exept the politicians...)

I was really curious at the beginning when I found out about this show. It just seemed worth seeing! So I watched it and it just made me laugh so much and without noticing I fell for the characters.

The chemistry between the main actors is amazing and the story is just so cute and fun that I couldn't stop watching and ended up finishing it !

Don't look at it as if it would be just a normal historical romance drama, it is original and fresh!
I totally recommend this for everyone, as it will include funny scenes, romantic ones and also intense ones.

The music was beautifully placed and completed this wonderful drama, of only 2 episodes. Yes, most of wonder how it could end after only 2 episodes! It just makes you wish for more.

In conclusion, I am sure you will love this drama. Just give it a try.

Objectively speaking, this isn't that good. I mean, I know I'm supposed to have some suspense of disbelief when watching a time travel drama, but this felt a little not thought out to me. I don't know, I thought the FL was quite annoying and her actions were at least bizarre when thinking about the situation she found herself in. She felt too much like a kid and had little to no critical thinking skills. She's 19! That's not *that* young!
The romance itself was cute at best, but not compelling. The ML was okay, they were sweet. But then again, the choices made were so far-fetched that I couldn't connect with them.
With all that being said, I love time travel plots and how the characters manage to adapt to another time period, so the rating could never be very low lol

Perfect mini series for one evening

This is my 1st review on this app, but I just could not not do it! This 2-episode series was perfect for what I was looking for: something light, easily digestible and cute. Only meant to watch the first episode tonight, but ended up hooked until the very end.

Sure, you need to suspend your disbelief to fully enjoy a high schooler teaching a Joseon king some maths, but that's what drama is for. Some confusing editing made the storytelling feel rushed at times, but not enough to take away from the enjoyment.

My first time seeing the leads, and already added some of their more recent dramas to my watchlist! This drama is definitely going on my rewatch list too, I found myself chuckling at some scenes and crying at others.

Recommended if you're looking for cute lil romance to fill a rainy afternoon!

The thing about Korean dramas is, sometimes there's not enough story to fill the number of scheduled episodes, and other times there's too much story and not enough episodes to cover all the stories. Thank goodness for this show, which shows that when a story and its characters are plotted properly, a simple drama can start off on the right foot and be wrapped up neatly at the end of it.

This is not the first drama I have seen Kim Seul Gi and Doojoon in. They are both actors and seem to be good at getting the right chemistry with their fellow actors. They are really cute together in this show.

The concept of this drama is not 100% unique. There are a few drama tropes like time travel, cross-dressing, and high school pressures. But we all know that when the tropes are used in the right way in a drama, it can still be a very enjoyable watch. Although the female lead character is a high school student, the themes of wanting to escape a miserable reality and realising your true potential are relatable on all levels.

I think this show will be a great watch and source of respite for hardened Korean drama viewers who are tired of watching the same tropes being used in the same way again in drama after drama, or of episode extensions with too much filler and no storyline progress. A short but refreshing watch!

Gender bender!
This drama was exactly what I needed. I really enjoyed giggling through this.
Kim Seul Gie is great, of course. I like the idea of her not being a good student in modern times but in Joseon times it doesn't matter because she is still going to know much more than the most advanced scholar.
Her personality is both cute and confrontational. She takes over the historical world with her modern attitude. Her audaciousness is so fabulous. I mean, she doesn't lose the Kim Seul Gie charm even when she's telling off the king, so you know this is going to be darn good.
The relationship with the king is a cracker. He appreciates her forwardness and bluntness but he also gets the brunt end of it too.
I really loved the historical moments of this drama as well. I normally don't appreciate history but it was pretty darn epic!

This is one of the best dramas I`ve ever watched
I randomly came over it and decided to watch it since it was just 2 episodes, now I wish it was longer. I usually find at least one thing I really dislike about dramas, especially romantic ones, but while watching this drama I couldn`t really find anything I hated about it. The actors did an amazing job and I loved watching the interactions between the two leads, it was so sweet and funny to watch and I either laughed or smiled almost the entire time watching. Also, I'm so glad that after watching a dozen K-dramas I finally find a female lead that seems like a normal person, she actually act s like a normal girl and that makes it so easy to like her. She`s not flawless and fragile or a strong kick-ass woman, she`s just a normal girl and I find it refreshing to see a female character that acts like a girl you could actually meet on the street.
It's a short, sweet and refreshing drama to watch and I would definitely rewatch it.

If you're feeling tired and you just want to chill out then you should watch this drama! Short, funny, interesting, it has it all to keep you hooked even if it's for a short period. The acting is awesome, and Doojoon just made my heart flutter, he totally delivered! Kim seulgi....what can I say...she's really a breath of fresh air: she's sweet, funny and she really hit it off with the male lead. All korean dramas should be like this, and I didn't wish it was longer, I like it the way it is, short but it had everything that you wish to see in a drama.

Watch it! You won't regret it! :)

This is the shortest drama I have ever seen, so I was curious to see how much they could pack into 2 episodes. The answer is a lot, and the results are pretty impressive. Based on the cheesy title (even cheesier than normal for a rom com), my expectations were pretty low. In my opinion the title doesn't do the show justice, but that's my biggest complaint, which is a huge compliment.

The story is kinda like a study guide in the style of "The Wizard of Oz". When testing pressures are too much for Dan Bi, she tries to run from them, and finds herself making a detour into the Joseon era. Her travel method is very cool, and immediately sets up the style of the show. From there the drama becomes an abbreviated sageuk, about a girl from the future and a royal from the past. This story has been done many times before, so It's up to the cast to make this version measure up, and the cast does a great job of that.

Kim Seul Gi has a spunky energy (similar to her role in "Oh my Ghostess"), which I love. I was impressed by her range of emotions, and I look forward to seeing more of her in the future. I'm not really familiar with Doo Joon (fangirls please don't kill me), but he was great too. Even in a drama this brief, they managed to deliver the chemistry romance fans love. Things may have seemed slightly rushed, but never too rushed to buy into it. I totally did.

I admit that much of the historical context went over my head. I was still able to still catch on to much of it, and it peaked my interest in learning the real history. I'll also admit to thinking that the historical versions of the characters were better looking than the modern ones.

Splash Splash LOVE is extremely cute, perhaps a little corny, and certainly predictable, but definitely entertaining.

Overall this drama seemed a little like and elaborate and well-devised plan to inspire young people to study. It is certainly aimed at a much younger audience, but I still enjoyed it. The writers were able to squeeze a great story into 2 episodes, so if you are looking for a drama to watch, but don't have the hours to commit (especially if that's because you know you should be studying), this is perfect.

Light quick, interesting and cute

8/10 is my rating. 2015 South Korean television drama. This drama spans two, 60 minute, episodes. Jang Dan-bi (Kim Seul-gi) struggles with the complex math she needs to pass the college test. Feeling immense pressure she is able to escape through a time portal to the Joseon era. She finds some clothing and is ultimately mistaken as an Eunuch. Having modern skills and knowledge, abilities that were passing in the modern area make her a top scholastic mind in the Josean area and she is soon teaching and advising the king, Yoon Doo-joon (Jang Yeong-sil). Through the course of their interaction they fall in love. Danbi becomes homesick and decides to return to her own time. The king vows to find her again through time. Back in the modern era time passes and Danbi's feels the loss of a great love. She reads about things the King did as a result of their time together. Feeling wistful she drops something on the street in the rain only to look up and see a very familiar face holding an umbrella over her.

Spoiler ? I really liked this one and there were many funny moments. It is a good, quick, light hearted drama to watch in between dramas with heavier topics. For me she decided to return to her time abruptly or at least it felt like that. it was really good just lacked a few elements for me that would have set it apart and made it great.

This bite sized drama should definitely be on your watch list! It is short and sweet though the story does not feel rushed at all. It could have been a movie in my opinion but it doesn't matter that much. The romance was very cute and sweet but my favourite moments were definitely the comedy scenes! xD I was laughing or at least chuckling at many of them – my most favourite one would definitely be the one with riding a horse to the tune of Gangnam Style. :D The ending was bittersweet but it suited the drama very well. More people should definitely know about this little drama. :3
