Abigail Oct 13 2017 10:31 am Who else ships gayoung and siyang here? nyaha. I thought gayoung looked so much like si kyung and i fell in love w her i searched and she was the main lead in mimi and exo next door wow haha.. currently watching this, an episode turner!! Excited to see how the story will turn out oh but i got spoilers in here haha whoa shookt me hahaha. Anyway, in the fever for siyoon so looking for all his dramas haha.

Ange Aug 31 2017 11:03 am SPOILERS

I love the plot and the story. But hell, i hate the ending. They deserve a happy ending after what they've been through. Like you know, all those hardships have been pointless after seeing the ending. And what about queen dowager? Heo Ok's mom? What happened to her after knowing about Heo Ok? Damn. I expected a happy ending because I really love the plot and the story. I love the actors. All of it! Just hating the ending right now and I can't really accept the fact that they didn't live 30 years being together.

Tagasubaybay Aug 15 2017 12:21 am Today, I watched this by chance, for it is aired in our local television channel, and I immediately recognized Lee Yi Kyung and Lee Ji Hoon. So happy. #Support I hope they'd be given more projects!!

alfred digos city Aug 01 2017 3:00 am Very nice drama. I like it so much. Thank you. I cant image this feeling i have rigth now. Because i love this drama. I want to watch agian and agian. Nice history of life lovelife. Im always laugh ad cry. Thank you for creating this movie. I love u seo ri

Just another drama addict Jun 27 2017 3:24 pm I really recommend this drama, even to those who are normally not into sageuks. Not only was the cinematography gorgeous but the acting from all the actresses and actors were phenomenal. A lot of times actors can overshadow eachother but in this case that doesn't happen.

I admit the drama wasn't perfect but what drama doesn't have some flaws lol. Also I know people may be wary of the age gap but the writers and actors are very mindful of it and I believe they portrayed the romance well considering the circumstance. Love doesn't necessary always mean it has to be physical. Heojun and Yeonhee shared an innocent love and had a deeper understanding of each other, which I found more intimate than a kiss scene. They both understand the pain/loneliness of not fitting into sociey, whether it is due to social standing or some supernatural curse. People say they could have just picked different actors but i felt Kim Saeron was perfect in her role and Yoon Shiyoon did amazing as well. But if you want a steamy romance then this is not the drama for you haha.

(SPOILER ALERT BEYOND THIS POINT)

I know there are mixed feelings about the ending but I personally felt it was beautiful in a tragic way. Yes it was heartbreaking but appropriate considering they decided to stay true to Heojun's history. It may have not been the happiest ending but it was bittersweet. I personally loved the last scene and made me happy that they would eventually find happiness in the afterlife (well that was my interpretation lol).

Rica Apr 25 2017 5:39 am This drama actually has a good message for us, people. The actors and actress play their role very well. I just have a little bit dissapointment with the storyline. The whole story seems doesn't fit with the ending. Oh! And the ending, i prefer happy ending than this bittersweet ending. They deserved it for all their efforts. Just saying.

Robert Apr 22 2017 11:46 pm This movie a 9th 2016 award is very wrong. Got to be crazy people saying that. Reen you don't know much about movies than sorry,but me I look and study the movies I watch for many years. to many made episodes dear. this could of been done at least 10 episodes not more than 15.

dickson Mar 13 2017 4:11 pm The ending makes the whole story seems useless..

Kes Feb 27 2017 10:21 am I think they should give the best actor in this drama to heo ok, joon's brother.

Reen Dec 13 2016 2:47 am Please..can you make special episode?..i cried about the ending..i can't get over until now.

Reen Dec 13 2016 2:43 am This is one of the best drama i've ever watched..thankyou and more power...

rein yamson Oct 10 2016 6:36 am One of the best dramas I've seen this year.This deserves prestigious awards because of the great acting skills of each actor.There is no small character here.Everyone was given the chance to shine especially the main leads, Yoon S-yoon and Kim Saeron. No one can replace the acting prowess of Siyoon-ssi.I hope JTBC will hold its own award ceremony to highlight their good dramas.

linda Oct 02 2016 9:35 pm I just finished watching this. Love it til last scenes I was crying and waiting for some closer....don't get me wrong wonderful drama and acting....if it would have ended with Jun as scholar doing good for humanity fine.....but....taking me to a scene with the kite then it gets confusing.....made me cry more....still confused....i guess it was just to remind us of their love and innocent...and buy more Kleenex.....!

Larry Sep 22 2016 1:40 pm Impressing drama skills! All of the actors gave life to their characters wonderfully. Yoon Shi Yoon did a great job! Full of emotions. not like the other dramas! IT HAS A STORY TO TELL! Worth watching!

KiM_LoMa Sep 16 2016 12:51 pm this drama is very good i loved it very much and the ending was heartbreaking i cried a lot

Teary Me Sep 01 2016 10:24 pm i just finished it in a row because the story was so great. the ending was very heartbreaking tho but i kinda like it. the actors did such great work and i loved them all. this is a must watch show for you who love historical kdrama.

Faeth Aug 31 2016 4:23 am I enjoyed this drama to the very last. it continued without losing focus. on the plot though it's sad that Yoon hee got to die. it's one of the best epic drama ever

andre Aug 28 2016 10:44 am i enjoyed this drama. until the very last ending that is so vague. SPOILER it 's so sad and unclear. i could almost say that it was a bad ending. i still hate it that the ending confuse me.

Christina Aug 22 2016 8:23 pm I miss Yoon Si-Yoon ever since he went for MS, so was looking out for his comeback. I dislike sad endings in dramas though I know sometimes it's ridiculous to make it good..my likes and dislikes all happened in this drama...how boy...to watch or not? I am stingy w my tears :'(

Me Again TT__TT Aug 22 2016 7:43 pm Damn Hong Joo. Damn Curse. Damn Sacrifies. Im crying alot watching the last episode. Evenmore when they get married.

Amin Aug 22 2016 10:21 am i know that the 20 ep of the drama are too draggy and some unreasonable plot exist..whatsoever. But it so heartbreaking in the end. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ why they have to do this. So sad. Why they cant be together? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ and come to think of it, all the effort was useless because of that damn sacrifies.

I feel you Hannah.

Hannah Aug 16 2016 11:31 pm It's gonna be a spoiler!!!!

This is the most heart breaking drama ending, I couldn't help but cry after the credit, not because I usually cry on drama but because it traumatized me !! It was soo sad, and also because i love dong gu it makes me sad to see what happens to them.. The ending makes the whole story seems useless. I know not every drama has the happy ending, but this one is just cruel. Towards the end they were so happy though i know it's gonna be sad but not that tragic.

Ever since they met the goal was to release her from the curse and keep her alive, but why ?? WHY ??? Every bit of the fight is worthless in the end !!! Why don't they make it like gu family book ?? Just for the sake of the drama lover, to calm our heart.

I love yoon dong gu, but I regret watching this because it really hurts me !!

Trang Aug 10 2016 6:17 pm Bruhhhhh!! This could have been the best drama if they have condense the plot and make it 16 eps instead of 20. 20 ep is such a drag. I love the drama a lot because it is so interesting and I like both of the leads. But the plot at the end is too draggy and makes no sense what so ever. I don't even know if I like it or not..... It had so much potential to be one of the best....

Omar Aug 10 2016 7:26 am I am a fan! Rooting for this..

Thin Htet Htet Aug 08 2016 5:49 am This is the best historic drama I gave ever seen. I don't often look historic drama when I look I look abt one or two eposide and I stopped.But this is cery interesting to watch..........Errrr and pls make more mystery drama like thisssss.......

Akshi Aug 04 2016 8:42 am A wonderful korean hostorical drama!Probably one of the best.I just love the plot.It is so different from other cheesy k dramas.There is excitement in every scene.I just love this whole drama.Yoon si yoon's acting is the best!!He has done a great comeback through this drama.l simply love his acting.Kim sae ron too is so good in this drama.This is a must watch.

phoby Aug 03 2016 2:24 am I think drama is different from other drama. And i love the characters.I love it very very much...Fighting

hwayong Jul 30 2016 1:03 pm Personally I think this drama has a great idea.. It feels like disney story adapted in korean dramas. It starts with good plots and I excitedly watched it but as it goes on, it becomes unreasonable and I just lost my interest to continue watching it. Some characters are just so 'innocent' or well, stupid, in some ways, and the protagonists seems to have no much power againts the antagonist so it just doesn't really exciting anymore. The actors and actrees did great job here and it is just so bad that the story line doesn't grow so well..

opy Jul 27 2016 9:42 am i really love the drama, and the end was really heart breaking. thanks for this wonderful drama kim sae ron you rock it!!!!!!

dadz Jul 26 2016 5:36 am . . . . . . . .. . . All I can say is this drama has a good casting, good story, but unreasonable plot .. . . . . .grrrrrrrr. . . . . .

Anthony Beatrice Jul 25 2016 6:46 am This drama was lyk very superb,kimsae ron u rock it badly i really love d drama n evryting especially when ha hair turned to white d drama iz really amazing thumbs up to d person whu rote it

keira Jul 25 2016 3:44 am I thought this drama would be like any other drama but it was surprisingly entertaining. I like how they showed less action and more about the plot of the story. Warning to the viewers though, make sure you have a box of tissue because this drama will make you cry your eyes out. Yoon SI Yoon and Kim Sae Ron are such great actors. This is definitely a must watch.

Manders Jul 23 2016 6:59 pm This drama started out so great! I was so excited to watch the new episodes each week. But then it just kinda...lost steam? And seemed to meander in some really convoluted and directionless path where no one's motivations made sense at all, or if they did, you were wondering why other characters were being so compliant to the point of feelings like plot puppets rather than characters. It seemed like it was really shaping up to be one of my favorite dramas and I'm so sad it ended up the way it did. If you're looking for a genuinely engaging and good supernatural historical drama, check out Arang and the Magistrate.

Hanna Jul 22 2016 11:39 am it's boring and to draggy. i must say that i watch it because yoon shi yoon,but i am so dissapointed with the story.

Sansan Jul 22 2016 2:47 am MOTW! must watch historical korean drama. Even Yoon Shi Yoon and Kim Sae Ron have a big age gap, i can feel their chemistry so much. i thought the ending would be a happy ending one, but because of a twist ending, i really can feel, what the meaning of sacrifice for love.

Y Jul 21 2016 9:58 pm @hany *spoilers ahead

Well..yes, Rapunzel and Yeon Hui both had a curse and they were both confined in one place. But I don't see where the story of the two gets similar beyond that. Rapunzel was confined in the tower because she is a tool being used by her 'mother' to stay young. Yeon Hui was confined to a secluded place because she was being protected and she was trying to break her curse. The witch/Rapunzel's pretend-mother did bad things for her own sake while the shamaness in MOTW did so because she wants to take revenge on everyone in Joseon. Flinn was a fugitive. Heo Joon was a slave. They were both on the run but for Flinn, it's because he did something bad (he stole from his fellow thieves) while Heo Joon did so because he was trying to escape his misery. And lastly, this story was written ages ago by the real life Heo Joon who was really a real life royal physician then.

hany Jul 21 2016 12:05 pm correct me if I'm wrong but I just realised that the story line a bit similiar with animated movie Tangled. The different is the princess was protected by innocent people

Amazed Fan Jul 21 2016 6:16 am This is a simply stunning drama. It can drag at some parts, but the ending is so worth it. An amazing tale of true love with an ending that you can't really prepare for. Watch it if you love a good romance with scary magic and funny comedy thrown into the mix! I'm personally a huge Kim Saeron fan, but even if you aren't, every single one of the actors are great at what they do!

Anne Jul 20 2016 11:15 pm not that really good drama. Only kim saeron scenes make me want to watch it but the rest is uninteresting.

Nana Jul 20 2016 5:18 pm The ending shows us how deep Heo Joon's love for Yeon Hui, and how deep Yeon Hui's love for Heo Joon. They still love each other untill 40 years later and more. The real meaning of everlasting love

Yuri Jul 20 2016 6:17 am This drama is different from other dramas. It's hard to pull of a fantasy drama and everyone who worked in this did an exceptional job in making the series ever so wonderful. The story was beautifully told. Actors were great. Kim Sae Ron has a skill for acting beyond her age. I look forward to seeing her in more dramas or films and, hopefully, they'd also be as great challenging as this.

And the ending...I was expecting it to be tragic but sorrow took me by surprise despite knowing it to be inevitable. But still, it was just appropriate. It portrays really well how the characters would have acted in the circumstances.

As for the real life Heo Joon, I'd really like to read his book if I would ever have the chance. I wonder if some scenes were really based on his firsthand experiences.

haruna kanako Jul 19 2016 8:04 am I LOVE THIS DRAMA A LOT!! BEFORE IT WAS AIRED AND AFTER IT WAS AIRED... i anticipated this drama much and my time was not wasted.... the plot , the story, the twists and romance and some comedy was really good.... so much good that it made me cry!!! esp the last ep... where in the whole episode, i cried... and still not recovered... T______T damn.. i want at least.. they have :* *kissed* hehehe :D i dont care of their age gap... T___T this drama is one of the best saeguk ever >___<< amazing!! daebak!!! ughh... *crying*

still waiting for more saeguks to come <3

All in all i have watched: Jumong, Moon Embracing the Sun, Splash Splash Love, Scholar who walks at night, Nightwatchmen Journal, Sunkyunkwan scandal, Gu Family Book, Mirror of the witch and now watching Arang and the Magistrate and starting Flower in prison...

Now,, ill wate for upcomings: Moonlight Drawn by clouds, Gogh, starry night, Moon lovers: scarlet heart: ryeo, The legend of the blue sea and God of War - Zhao Zi Long <3 ///<

Qarven Jul 19 2016 3:12 am @Contraire

 *h5*

l share your feelings too. l felt the same, still trying to recover.

JustARandomPerson Jul 18 2016 10:26 pm Very good drama and very good ending, even though it was kind of sad in my opinion. All of the cast portrayed their characters phenomenally! Yoon Si-Yoon never fails to impress me with his acting. This was my first drama with Kim Sae-Ron and not regretting it. She did such nice job with being so young.

Common Jul 18 2016 8:38 pm @MOTW LOVER I think a guy who give the sacrifice elixir was the one who save yo gwang.

I'm gonna miss u too TT. Its refreshing talking to you. It feel like I found a new friend with the same taste. Gonna miss you a lot :3

Madonna Jul 18 2016 5:47 pm I really enjoyed watching this drama, the ending was so sad. But its not all movies that have a happy ending. But I'm still happy, I loved every actors and actresses in the movie.

MOTW lover Jul 18 2016 6:15 am well i really gonna miss n remember this drama... and the most important is i met COMMON-NIM! i really gonna miss talking to u too!

LaMelusine Jul 18 2016 6:06 am I really loved this drama. The main actor has many expressions and that's something I really loved. Yum Jung Ah is a really good actress and with Mr. Lee in the end made me really cry. I had different feelings for Hong Joo, I despised, pitied, loved and hated her. But she wasn't evil she was a poor soul and woman who was used as an object. She loved Mr. Choi but knew thwy would never be toghether and mr. Choi felt something for her. The last scene when he says he'll accompany her on the fire pire and she just hugged him tighter...i really was in tears. Their acting was better than the main actors but it's obvious due to the age and experience difference. I was touched by the ending, I was expecting some expedient to revive Yeon hee, but It would be akward and unrealistic, so I was happy when he grew old and after his death met her. It was also an example for us , who live in the real world, to live our life even when the people we love are no more around.

Contraire Jul 17 2016 9:19 pm @MOTW Lover : I think the mysterious man saved Yo Gwang. The man who gave him "Sacrifice Elixir". He's been watching all along.

And I agree with @Qarven, Heo Jun about to die, thats why he can see Yeon Hui's kite.

Great story. Sad ending. The writer won't us to forget this drama.

MOTW Lover Jul 17 2016 8:33 pm Common-nim i still not clear about who save yo kwang, can u explain it to me?

Azuremuse Jul 17 2016 8:09 pm I enjoyed this drama ... One of my favorite actors is Yoon Si Yoon, and love love some Tiny G she is sassy.. As far as the lead actress go's OMG the girl is so young and So incredibly talented.. shes 16 I can not even Imagine her in 10 more years amazing talent. I love Historical Drama's added with a bit of Mystery in them Like The Gu Family Book, The Night Watchmen, The Scholar that Walks at night.. I love them all and I would put this one in that Category too.. If you like fantasy and historical Sets and fashion Like I do you would enjoy this love story/ fantasy plot

Common Jul 17 2016 7:45 pm last episode make me cry and disappointed at the same time. crying a lot because I can feel their loss, happy because at last they meet in their after life. I feel relieved because my curiosity about who saved yo kwang has the answer and disappointed because there less dramatical ending for hong jo. So complicated. But overall I really love this drama.

And for those who complain about the actress age. In the beginning she was 16, like her real age. but in a few episode, the story tell that she become 21 years old woman, and started to have a romantic scene. so I think the writer want it acceptable by viewers. and in this drama, they didn't have too much skinship like lip kissing. and for your information the actress has her 'first kiss' in another drama before that make me uncomfortable. so I enjoyed this drama.

soso Jul 17 2016 5:10 pm not good end at all :(

Jamie Jul 17 2016 2:11 pm I strongly disagree with most of the negative comments. Yes, the actress is 15. However, she plays her role so well. I don't like watching historical dramas, but I fully enjoyed this one. The ending literally moved me to tears. I went to work crying. I believe the directors did a great job and the actors as well.

cpiper Jul 17 2016 11:48 am Although during the Chosen era when a girl reach puberty she was prime to marry; however, this is 2016 and the actress is a child of 15 years. The drama called for a young witch and she fit this part well until the writers chose for her to get romantic involved with the other 2 adult male leads. As an actress she has jumped ahead into the adult world. I think she has loss her credibility and I feel she will feel the repercussions from other adult actresses. It’s a wonder the writers didn’t extend the episodes and have her 1 year later go through the birthing process. Poor kid grew up too fast. All characters took turns being locked-up, tied up or knocked out episode after episode. Overall it was a poorly written and directed..

tiaa Jul 17 2016 9:16 am Love the last episodes, good luck for kim saeron n yoon shi yoon. See you in next project

kimseungyeon Jul 17 2016 8:57 am Choi Sung Won I hope you get better :c suffering from leukemia is, of course, not fun at all!

Qarven Jul 17 2016 4:27 am @Flustered

spoilers*

Actually she did not hide, Heo Jun died when the kid was getting water, and they met in the after life.

Flustered Jul 17 2016 1:38 am The most pathetic ending ever! I mean if she's alive after drinking the 'Sacrifice Elixir' and the curse has been lifted, why'd she chose to live a secluded life?

Common Jul 16 2016 8:55 am finally the last episode. waiting impatiently. hope, it has beautiful ending... :-*

MOTW Lover Jul 16 2016 5:50 am Tonight is the final ep! I have to prepare 4 worse drana withdrawal syndrome!

mjk Jul 16 2016 4:59 am seriously lol i couldnt tell that Yeon hee and Heo Jun have 16!!!! years difference lol speaking bout asians dont age... very sad thing is that it was really amazing drama but i have no idea why the dragged it out for extra 4 episodes with repeptitive running around the forrest and same mistakes of letting their guard down over and over again, like i seriously dont understand, why they could not wrap it in 16 episodes , heard bout quality over quantity? it has become repetitive as hell

whitewolf Jul 14 2016 1:06 pm also, i had high expectations for special effects since the Yeon Hui's first transformation but all we saw was repetitive black smoke magic from Hong Joo, levitation when Yeon Hui & prince turn to cursed child form, fire of Hyun Seo & Peong Yoon & king's disease cured. I'm hoping for a grander effects & stunts for the finale.

whitewolf Jul 14 2016 12:57 pm are people from period dramas lacking of foresight? seriously, they know that Hong Joo won't give up & yet they always let their guard down once they thought they won a battle/faceoff w/ her. Also, they've known Hyun Seo & Poong Yeon can be controlled by black magic & yet they did not think of locking them up ahead or other preventive measures? If Yo Gwang doesn't have the guts to kill Hyun Seo he could have run the other direction or stayed far away instead of facing him just to let his guard down & be stabbed.

FANATIC101 Jul 11 2016 1:28 pm This drama started out pretty good, so looking forward to it because I'm a fan of Kim Sae-Ron and Yoon Si-Yoon. The age different doesn't bother me, it's fictional, as long as there are no tongues involved in kissing scene, I don't care. Lip to lip kissing is fine. As the drama goes on, I lost interest because I was hoping Heo Jun is a strong character protecting Yeon-Hee. Then I was also looking forward to see Yeon-Hee using more of her power to protect herself, not much there. The character that stole the show is Hong-Joo, her role and acting is very good even though I can't stand her. Hoping the last 2 episodes will be great.

MOTW Lover Jul 11 2016 2:31 am Reqwd-nim : yup he is.. i realize that but then i know heo joon is not hero for nothing... he must do something... heheh

I do love the the king in last few ep but now here he come the old king! I really want to know what is gonna happen in last 2 ep!

kokomarz delos angeles Jul 10 2016 1:45 am i hope hong joo punished same pain like the people she killed not to end her life in seconds to end the drama.

shya Jul 08 2016 9:08 pm I cannot withheld the withdrawal symptom once this drama is ended. I am so much attached to the drama. Can't believe this is going to end next week. Very sad it is coming to an end next week. I will surely miss the great cast especially bright and talented Kim Sae Ron. Will eagerly wait for your next drama Sae Ron.

Amy 6390 Jul 08 2016 7:08 pm This drama stating really well but now at episode 17 I am thinking 3 more episodes is dragging it out to much. It should have ended at 16. Love the cast just getting a little fed up with how they are dragging it out.

cynthia l thomas Jul 08 2016 6:46 pm This was a great drama from the start. Now my question is did someone get mad with the actors or writer or the producer of this drama? I never get the answer Just want to put that question out there. I really feel sorry for Kim Sae Ron & Yoon Si-Yoon to have their acting skills put into such a Chaotic drama. They could had flashbacks of the spill from the original sorcerer before putting together all this none sense within this drama.

reqwd Jul 05 2016 4:12 am @MOTW lover : Heo Joon already light one when he met his mom's ghost

Flustered Jul 04 2016 12:46 am Kill Hong Joo the witch ardy. Why keep levitating her and let her go?

dee_ Jul 03 2016 6:15 pm I wish Heo Joon and Yeon Hui, Poon Yeong and Sol Gae, Yoh Gwang and Soon Deuk, and all of them will live happily ever after Love this drama So much. My fave in 2016

MOTW lover Jul 03 2016 2:49 am @common-nim: heheh thats why i put spoiler alert up there :) i think the 4 person is poong yeon, choi hyun seo, hong joo, or maybe yo kwang? since queen sim is already use that dream portion... or maybe the last one could be heo joon?

@chanchan-nim: nice conclusion ^^ now i get it.....

now its only 4 ep left... i think i gonna get drama withdrawal symptom... like i use to get during blood drama...

ana Jul 02 2016 12:15 pm hope the script writer makes best scene on the last episode :))

Chanchan Jul 02 2016 11:55 am I really like the silly moment between king and heo joon.. they really can be best friend.. both of them is so cute

Chanchan Jul 02 2016 11:51 am Wow great great great!!!! Love overflow :3 I totally forgot about the age gap.. just by casually holding hand it feel so romantic... great episode 15&16 waiting 17-20.. 4 episode to the end T.T kinda sad already

@MOTW lover: are u refering to scene that heo joon hold the black sword? I think that black magic attack the darkest side of somebody i.e the saddest moment to bring out somebody evil soul.. so heo joon overcome that and forgive every moment, just like naruto when overcome his dark side to take control kyubi ^^ hhe

kenny Jul 02 2016 10:56 am i love poong yeon very much because he had a connection with seol ri,,,i wish d ending would be so perfect because i dnt want to regret watching this drama...love all the actors nd actresses san ra yen..

Common Jul 02 2016 10:02 am @MOTW Lover : aaah, chingu. why u give a spoiler?! I haven't been able to watch episode 16 TT. Quiet busy today. anyway, who do you think that their wish light up the last 4 candle?

MOTW lover Jul 02 2016 9:42 am SPOILER ALERT!!!

what more in hong joo sleeve? emmm keep thinking bout it.. thanks god poong yeon have his father kindness or maybe his love for yeon hui..

why and how heo joon get out from hong joo balck magic??

but 16 ep was great episode ... if hong joo died then what the rest of the ep story gonna be? maybe about how to break fully the curse maybe... never really get the writer thinking...

kwak si yang really great with poong yeon character... make me feel like he is real evil in last few ep .... heheh

sophiagarcia Jul 02 2016 8:07 am The leading lady is so pretty. She has average but expressive eyes, beautiful lips and pointed nose. She will grow up into a very beautiful lady. The leading man is so handsome and they both look good together. I am not into black magic but enjoying watching this drama. Two thumbs up.

Common Jul 02 2016 6:10 am MOTW Lover : I think there are poong yeon, choi hyun-seo, queen sim and Hong jo. I think it would be great if the last candle light up because of hong joo's wish.

MOTW Lover Jul 02 2016 12:48 am Anyone here has any idea who would be the one that would light up the last 4 candles?

Common Jul 01 2016 10:13 pm WOW, REALLY LOVE THIS DRAMA!!!

I laughed, and curious in one episode. I laughed at how heo joon-yo gwang or heo joon-the king interact. it looks funny. I'm so curious about the next plot, because there are 5 more episode left. Really appreciate the writer nim, the director, the casts and all the staffs that make this drama awesome.. :-*

Llian Jul 01 2016 9:59 pm I'm not into fantasy drama but this one is an exception There are dramas that are good and interesting yet you tend to forget the cast names and faces when its over. This drama makes me appreciate the work of a good director for making the cast act so surreal, believable and true to their role. highlightings each cast with a remarkable performance. The cinematography, sounds and costume all great. I will miss it when its over but I'll be looking forward to see Kim Sae-Ron,Yoon Si-Yoon, Kwak Si-Yang, Lee Ji-Hoon,Lee Sung-Jae,Jang Hee-Jin and Lee Yi-Kyung in their next dramas.

lina Jul 01 2016 8:41 pm Love this drama so much >< and the interaction between the king after he is cured with Heo Joon :'D so cute haha~ love lee ji hoon because his role on before in Six Flying Dragons and love him even more here. You got me crying in ep 15 because your speech about your heart and your teary eyes TuT

Angelina Jul 01 2016 7:46 pm Kim Sae Ron and Yoon Si Yoon DAEBAK!!! Kim Sae Ron is so pretty. Hate Poong Yeon and actor is so awkward too. Thumbs up to Yoon Si Yoon. He is consistently great. My hero!

Lala Jul 01 2016 7:21 pm @ayame: i dont know what scene that you mean. But i think its 'love' by lush coz it has violin music background.

After rewatch it again from the first (cz i really like it plus to make sure how the story flow, it has many twist that make say 'how') I just realize that music instrument/music background in this drama is really good ^^

MOTW lover Jul 01 2016 11:28 am WRITER-NIM DAEBAK! NEVER GONNA BELIEVE THE PLOT HE MADE!

SPOILER ALERT!

i wonder why hong joo was sooo into poong yeon up until 15th episode, now i got the solid answer! HOLY FLAMES! i thought that poong yeon gain any black magic but that is not the case... just hoping that poong yeon have a bit of his father kind heart!

*well though heroin would not gonna die anyway coz it would be the end of the story in only 16 ep lol....

ep 15 is one of ep that really make me smile ^^ the ep that make me think the king was not that bad..

Nurudeen Jun 29 2016 8:04 am What a fantanstic movie so ever in my life, i love the movie it makes me feel good, the only person who makes me feel bad of this movie is the guy name poong-yeon, assuming poong-yeon didnt take away seo-ri out of the place she was kept, they will hv put a stop into what is wrong with seo-ri, but all the same it hvnt ended yet, i will watch this movie to the end, i like and also love it.

rdk Jun 29 2016 2:16 am This drama never failed to surprise me in every episode. I keep on having some speculations about what will happen next, but everytime I was like "wait, I didn't see that coming!". Seriously, speculating never been this fun for me. ^^

Rein Jun 26 2016 12:53 pm The story is intricately-woven that is why it's hard to forsee what's gonna happen next.Thumbs up for the whole production.Yoon Si -yoon is always at his best ..

Common Jun 26 2016 11:28 am you right guys, this drama is so unpredictable. So any scenario have the possibility. that's why I respect the writer-nim who write a story with a lot of twist smoothly. As a viewer, I enjoy the twist plot in this drama so much. it makes me guess again and again...

ryl Jun 26 2016 9:52 am i just watched the lastest episode and i am surprised for not recognizing yum jungah ( hong joo ) as exo d.o's mother in . despite of hongjoo's evilness, i can't help but admire her for that acting. can't wait for the next episode

Ully Jun 26 2016 7:03 am My fav drama ever in 2016

Fellas Jun 26 2016 6:22 am @MOTW Lover: it can be. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE as this drama is full of plot twist and unpredictable xD

MOTW lover Jun 26 2016 1:47 am no doubt how much i hate poong yeon... but i have been thinking, what if that one side love of him could help in breaking the curse of yeon hui, i mean not completely but a bit... well tbh there is some chance that the plot could be twist... his love can also be one of the way to help... i don't know i just thinking anyway...

Fellas Jun 26 2016 12:25 am can we talk about how annoying Poong Yeon is? His sister will die in few days if she can't break the curse but he is busy taking care of his one-sided love and messing around.

Ayame Jun 25 2016 10:46 pm does anyone know the song on episode 13 when the princess is talking with her father its a violin tune . l am looking for that song please help me.

Common Jun 25 2016 10:03 pm just watched episode 13 and 14. what a great story plot. Its so unpredictable. when I guess how the story goes, then it go to another direction. make we wonder how will it end? Can't wait for the next episode!

Chanchan Jun 25 2016 11:11 am @trew: Yes, it's still mystery, but i think its not edit/script error.. I hope it will bring a great twist, someone who can help them..

Common Jun 25 2016 10:42 am MOTW Lover : I also think the queen is so selfish. how can he show so much affection toward crown prince in front of yeon hui? And she can sacrifice yeon hui? (although it's for royal family sake). I don't think pyeong yeon is double spy. he so obsessed with yeon hui. it clouded his rationality, and ended up with jealousy toward heo joon.

for those who asking about yo gwang, in my opinion the director made a time twist in this scene. actually hyun seo save yo gwang first before he died. it just assumption, because I didn't have any rational explanation about this scene too. :-D

ferry Jun 25 2016 8:49 am nice film

Trew Jun 25 2016 6:55 am @El: Its mystery for me too, its sure that Hong-Joo put talisman on Hyun-Seo and raised him from death and somebody put talisman on Yo-Gwang but we dont know who, it can be plot twist or edit/script error ;)

rein yamson Jun 25 2016 6:53 am This series is one the best this year.Powerful cast.Brilliant acting.Nice setting.Intricately-woven story. Kudos for a job well done. Yoon Si-yoon is at his his best as usual.:)

El Jun 25 2016 6:24 am Anyone know how can monk yo gwang the one who accompany yeon hui still alive? I think i see him died after protecting yeon hui and i see someone hand put talisman in him? Anyone know who is the one put talisman? Maybe i miss some scene

MOTW lover Jun 24 2016 11:01 am just wishing that poong yeon is just a double spy... the only one who sincerely protect n helping yeon hee now is only heo joon n yo gwang... queen dowager? she just selfish as she is... no matter what she do is only to cover her mistakes!

lexa Jun 23 2016 9:48 am This drama is awesome... All the leads are on point,good chemistry,good story,interesting plot!

Ozmo Jun 23 2016 8:51 am So addictive - can't wait for each episode. Fantastic fantasy! Everyone playing their parts so well. Perfect for Yoon Si-Yoon, always so good to watch; he plays his character flawlessly.

dee Jun 22 2016 5:46 am Love it !! Love it !! Heo Joon and Seo Ri have a good chemistry. Walaupun usianya beda 14th *haha susah ngomong bhs. Inggris*

MOTW Lover Jun 21 2016 12:49 pm Common-nim : i think that way to since poong yeon is to obsess with yeon hui, he can do anything to get the girl solely by himself... and this drama is just at his first half... we could wait for any turning of plot! The most big question here is how can heo joon help in breaking the curse...

I was sooooo stress out that they not even put any trailer at the end of the ep! Making us more curious!

Common Jun 20 2016 10:15 am MITW Lover : I think, at first heo joon just a human talisman whose holy seal. But because he love yeon hui, and yeon hui love him back so he had a curse seal too. And I think the one who can break yeon hui curse is heo joon. And I just feel that pyeon yeong will become an enemy for heo joon. Cant wait the next episode!!

MOTW lover Jun 20 2016 8:34 am so, only the one with the cursed seal can help yeon hui break the curse? that mean heo joon have 2 seal, holy seal n curse seal? since the holy seal is broken by hong joo, i think it is only cursed seal that is left..

shya Jun 20 2016 8:15 am This drama is gem. Cream of the crop. My most favorite drama of 2016. This pretty much adds up to the fact how good this drama is. Kim Sae-Ron and Yoon Si Yoon have a sparkling chemistry. Indeed, I have seen their chemistry in previous photo-shoot for a magazine. Entire Cast selection for this drama is "The best". Incredibly well-written drama. I am sure it is gonna get all awards by end of this year in every single category. Mark my words.

Ruby Jun 19 2016 9:08 pm I've watched until episodes 12 and it was amazingggg!!! Unpredictable and beyond expectations! Can't wait for another weeks!

Yoon si yoon, kim sae ron, fighting!

Shellsbells Jun 19 2016 6:52 pm This show sucks, It's a complete waste of time only made it to episode 8 and I'm oh so ova it

Caprielle Jun 19 2016 11:30 am I'm usually not into black magic stuff, but this drama is so addicting, very well written and the casts (although with the age difference between the 2 leads) are amazing in their roles. Anxiously waiting for every episode every week!!! A must watch for your 2016 drama list!

opy Jun 19 2016 10:31 am wow!!!! am freaking loving this show so unpredictable really love the leads, their chemistry is on point

Witch Jun 19 2016 7:54 am to 'Flustered',

i don't remember on what episode but someone said that Hong Joo is a powerful shamaness. The only person who is able to kill her is Yeon Hee. And the fact that Hong Joo doesn't seem bothered by people pointing blade to her must be because she knows the blade can't kill her anyway.

Flustered Jun 19 2016 6:35 am So many times, so many people pointed a blade at Hong Joo's throat but let her go or waiting for her to be rescued. This is getting ridiculous!

answering just say me Jun 19 2016 6:23 am To 'just say me',

in episode 4 if i'm not mistaken,yes hong joo killed YG. YG is dead that time. in fact, all the monks are dead that time. Then someone came and brought him back to life and carried him away to safety. Little did we know who is that person. All we ever know is YG came back from dead and saved Yeon Hee from the frozen lake. The one who brought YG back to life still remain a mystery. There's a prediction that it was Choi Hyun Seo, but it was impossible because that time, he was on the run with Yeon Hee and then stabbed to death by Hong Joo. This show is sooo exciting that it is so unpredictable, lots of twist and turns.

Whoever still hesitant to watch this drama or not, please watch it. You won't regret it. And if you're hesitant about the age gap, please don't. The main leads are awesome and so romantic without being excessive in physical touch. They didn't look like they have a big age gap. Either it's Yoon Si Yoon who looks young or Kim Sae Ron who looks mature, you decide.

This drama is like a fresh air in Kdrama and will remain my fav for a long time.

JuLia Jun 18 2016 1:57 am Seol gae is the red nobleman. Its confirmed in episode 11. But I dont realy sure if seol gae is the only the red nobleman or there anyone else. Its getting interesting, but I'm still asking what is hong joo's motive? Why she did all those thing? I'm so curious. Hope today I get to know it. :-)

N Jun 17 2016 4:04 pm I don't think sol gae is Red nobleman robe...Maybe it someone else who has same mark like her....

Emily Jun 17 2016 11:56 am Heol....is Seol Gae the red nobleman's robe? ?

Just say me Jun 15 2016 10:31 pm I've been thinking hard lately, how come yo gwang still alive after hon joo swing the sword to his face? And who saved him? And then, I need more romance between OTP.. I love chemistry between kim sae ron and yoon-shi yoon. And sol gae, surprisingly me, she is the red robe. OMG I dont know how the storyline will be going, but this drama is so interesting.

Chris Jun 14 2016 8:42 am Daebak. Sol-Gae is the one with Red robe who killed the people wish at the tree? It's been a great plot twist and Yo Gwang is hilarious. But it's a lot confused about black magic and taoist act between Hong Joo and Choi Hyun seo. Very complicated scheme and plot. It's hard to understand. Hope will have a happy ending. :D

JuLia Jun 14 2016 2:26 am @ara really? Becoz I've seen it in some sites that its originally 16. But if that's the case, I think it's my mistake. Thanks anyway :)

Duk seon Jun 14 2016 12:01 am Is there any possibility Heo Joon will die? As we can see Heo Joon accept Yeon Hee fully even after he learn all the truth.... I guess he is the one who will break Yeon Hee curese ... Btw really hoping both of them will have good/happy end..

ara Jun 13 2016 8:21 am I don't think it's extended. As far as I know, it's planned to run in 20 episodes from the very beginning.

yani Jun 12 2016 10:01 pm I hope this drama will be happy end, between Heo Joon and Yeon Hui. About Poong Yeon, i wish he can make it with Sol Gaek.

Janelle Jun 12 2016 2:50 am Whoo Yoon Si-Yoon's first main lead again after just being recently discharged from the military! ~

jun Jun 12 2016 1:21 am I love episode 10 its getting better and more interesting!

shya Jun 11 2016 11:51 pm Wow.Goosebumps after watching Episode 10. What a spectacular mind blowing drama. I am getting more and more impressed after every single episode. Totally mind boggling. Top favorite drama on my list right now. Every actor and actress in this drama is exceptionally performing their respective roles and it is delight to watch them perform. The entire cast is acting from their heart and blending with the Story. Such a great drama i found in 2016. Lots of love. Princess fighting!!

SoYi Jun 11 2016 11:30 pm i like KSR i watch this drama bcos of her then YSY n KSY i like them so muchhhh n the story is interesting i think i can see their act quality bcos the story is unusual

JuLia Jun 11 2016 8:07 pm YEAY!!! It's extended. I love this drama. The casts, act well and Lee Yi Kyung's act catch my eyes. Hope the remain episode still has the great story.

lina Jun 11 2016 7:36 am I love acting lee ji hoon when the queen mother thought he was a prince soonhwe, perfect !

lina Jun 11 2016 7:08 am I love this drama, amazing yoon shi yoon, make me melting

jnekezia Jun 11 2016 1:57 am The worst thing of drinking the see-ghost elixir for Heo Jun is he drank the intelligence elixir first. He won't ever forget all those ghosts' looks. LOL....his reactions though..he is afraid of ghost but he drank the elixir...wkwkwk

#Episode9

Cindy Xiong Jun 10 2016 6:49 pm Choi sung won was brought back to life from black magic. Not by giving him another soul. I think he broke the barrior is due to the conversation he had with the queen stating that the princess should now realize that she has to go against Hong Joo

JuLia Jun 10 2016 7:31 am @elisa I dont think so chingu. Even though, CHS is under Hong Jo black magic for years, I think he still has his consciousness. He still want to find a way to break the curse. But I didn't really know too. Let watch the next episode to get more.

Indah Yosani Jun 08 2016 11:25 pm Omo,this drama is so amazing,kim sae ron and yoon si yoon is perfect couple

Sera Jun 07 2016 11:36 pm The more I watch...Yoon Si Yoon and Kim sae ron is kinda cute tpgether....haha..and Lee Yi kyung...you never failed to impressed me..love your acting..fighting MOTW team !!!!

ellsam Jun 07 2016 11:00 pm what happen to Dong Rae in the drama? I know Choi Sung Won is sick.

Elisa Jun 07 2016 9:23 pm @Chris , may be because he is under Hong Joo's satan. cz he was already died before...but Hong Joo gave him a soul from satan (my view). that's why he was doing that. that's Hyun Seo...before he died. correct me if i am wrong

Chris Jun 07 2016 8:56 am Why Choi Hyun Seo,father of Poong Yeon destroyed the barrier of Seo Ri in ep8? And Monk Yo-Gwang is killed in ep4,i think,in front of Yeon-hee house. But someone in black suit revived him with magic sheets. Who is that?

aizakuri Jun 05 2016 9:51 pm wow kim sae ron is really beautiful. I like her in white. this is a great drama. can't watch next episodes!

shya Jun 05 2016 8:53 pm Episode 7 and Episode 8 are my most favorite. Especially Episode 8, Wow Just Wow..What an ending. Loving this drama so much. Getting more and more addicted as ever before.

wake up akward Jun 05 2016 3:42 pm watch ep 8 and then wake up

witch Jun 05 2016 11:09 am not gonna lie, episode 7 and 8 are daebakkk!! keep fighting mirror team!

PS: is it just me or the new king aka king sunjo looks a lot like actor yoo ah in? He really goods at acting and deliver his role well.

awkward Jun 05 2016 3:44 am stop watching from episode 7, ughh feel so awkward .huft

gureum Jun 05 2016 1:30 am i haven't seen this yet...but kim sae ron and yoon shi yoon are a romantic pairing, right? that's just wrong..

Caprielle Jun 04 2016 4:36 pm So addicting! Anxiously waiting for each episode. Interesting story line!

popcorn and coke Jun 04 2016 6:55 am episode 7 has not yet aired or been uploaded because it was cancelled due to the Baeksang Arts Award 52nd.. Episodes 7 and 8 will be aired on June 4 and June and will be uploaded for international viewers on June 5 and 6..

Rain Jun 03 2016 10:20 pm I think the crown prince is the one who hunts down the hearts of the wishers.

shya Jun 03 2016 7:03 pm @rdk Thanks a ton for your reply on my question. I was in total confusion who is this new king. Now, I am getting it. Thanks again for taking time to explain me. It is very appreciated.

Rafael Jun 03 2016 1:05 pm I'm just sad that thwy killed , yeon hui's twin brother so early.. like.. im expecting that the twins will meet :'(

Chris Jun 03 2016 10:09 am @ara Thz for the info. Waiting for Do Hee to get some love line with Yoon Si-Yoon or maybe with Lee Yi-Kyung. Lol :D

ara Jun 02 2016 4:44 pm @Chris Yes, she is Dohee. Maybe this page hasn't been updated yet, because she joined later (when the first episode has already been aired) and just made her first appearance in the previous episode. Ok, let's wait for this page to be updated.

Chris Jun 01 2016 11:01 pm Is that Do hee from Tiny-G who starred in Reply 1994 casted as Girl who is helping Yoon shi Yoon? Why isn't she in the cast members?

rdk May 31 2016 2:09 am @shya King Myungjong (Queen Shim's husband) and King Sunjo's father are half-brothers. In other words, King Sunjo is King Myungjong's nephew. King Myungjong died without a heir since the Crown Prince died a few years before him. The next person in line is King Sunjo, that's why he replaced King Myungjong.

rdk May 31 2016 1:00 am @monstar ♥ @julia @shya I've watched ep 5&6 ^^ Well, I still have some unanswered questions from these 2 episodes. I hope the answers will be revealed this week.

shya May 30 2016 9:54 pm Guys, Can someone please enlighten me with this part.. How is King Sunjo (Played by Actor Lee Ji-Hoon) related to Queen mother Sim ?

shya May 30 2016 9:48 pm @rdk- You should definitely not miss the episode 5 and 6. You will not be disappointed and in fact pleasantly surprised. This drama connects the dots very well. Every scene is amazing and lot of analysis is put through. Excellent drama that has a strong plot and very intriguing story line and not to mention acting of the entire cast is just awesome. This drama is "Daebak"!! It is going to be in my all-time Favorite list for sure.

@wijoco May 28 2016 6:06 pm @winjoco really? Wow, its cool. I think its a great experience. I hope I can experience once in my life. Hope I can go to Korea someday... >pray<

Cynthia May 28 2016 8:05 am Great drama, but what's up with the darkness within the movie, some scenes was too dark to see the actors from the backgrounds. was it filmed at night only ?

Winjoco May 28 2016 7:33 am My wife and I were at the palace in Suwon in April when they were filming. We stood in the back and watched the filming of the scene where Yoon Si-Yoon is running away from the palace guards in Ep. 2. It was a lot of fun to see that scene hit the screen.

Julia May 28 2016 1:20 am @rdk you have to watch it as soon as possible. Maybe I'm a too sensitive person so I got too carried away with the story. It made my emotions turn up and down... It has a great story. :-)

monstar ❤ May 27 2016 9:53 pm @rdk episode 5 was daebak. Watch it as soon as you can. But to keep it spoiler free for you, lets just say you wont be disappointed haha. Seriously, this show has an awesome storyline

rdk May 27 2016 3:31 pm How is episode 5 guys? I haven't watched it yet, but I wonder whether the people killed by Hong Joo will be resurrected or something. They won't be leaving this show that early, right? Esp. Hyun Seo. And Yo Gwang, too. :-/

Jronaa May 27 2016 12:19 pm I love this drama! I really do. <3 Kim sae ron I'm inlove with you, you're such a great actress. :)

tsnmi101 May 24 2016 5:41 pm this is such an amazing drama :))))

claudya May 23 2016 12:20 pm Mirror of the Witch is one of the best drama of 2016 along with Jackpot (of course) and I'm not saying that just because i'm a huge fan of Yoon Si Yoon. This K Drama is excellent has Drama, Comedy, Mystery and a Great Love Story already. I'm so happy I started, ahhh Yoon Si Yoon is a great actor, don't miss this drama because you miss a great drama :)

monstar ❤ May 23 2016 9:26 am LOVE LOVE LOVE this drama. those who ranted about kim sae ron can just shut it. this is turning out to be a great drama. the story is just amazing!

Wohee May 23 2016 2:45 am Omg what song at preview ep 5? Im falling live with this drama

Her May 22 2016 6:30 pm Just watching ep 4, in the last part of this ep, make me wanna sing Let it go~ Let it go~ Can't hold it back anymore Let it go~ Let it go~ Turn away and slam the door

Hannie May 22 2016 12:22 pm WOW! The plot of this drama is amazing, and the actors carry it out so well. one moment I'm having goosebumps,the other I'm scared, the other I'm laughing or the other I'm crying. This drama fills with so much emotion and the chemistry within the characters are amazing. Kim Sae Ron is amazing and honestly you can't even tell the age difference. Hopefully this drama gets a lot of positive feedback. I can't wait for the weeks to come! :)

Witch Yeon Hee May 22 2016 5:36 am @Leyy

Yeon Hee's twin is the Crown Prince. They got separated at birth. Kwak Si Yang played her adoptive brother (who i might add, harbors a feeling for her)

Leyy May 22 2016 2:25 am Who is yeon hee twins?and what's role that kwak si yang played?

Julia May 22 2016 1:37 am Yes, yeon hee. You right, once I enjoyed the story plot, I dont care about who is the partner for KSR. The story plot is enough to make me waiting...

-)

Witch Yeon Hee May 21 2016 11:32 pm You're right Julia! i have seen episode 4 too. It's really getting more interesting. At this point i no longer care about any romance evolve with the main leads or what not, there's more than romance that keeps this show interesting and fresh. I don't care who Yeon Hee ends up with, i just want to see how she's going to fight the evil people to save the country and everyone around her. Can't waittttttttt!

dramaloverphils May 21 2016 11:12 pm I really hate historical dramas. Like Jumong etc. I really liked high school dramas. I actually stopped watching orange marmalade when it suddenly diverted to the past. But this drama is soooooo... waaahhh!! I love it so much. It doesn't matter to me f the setting is the old era. I just love it. The story plot and the characters are well thought of. I liked Poong Yeon so much and the Crown Prince reminds me so much of Xiumin (EXO) , i don't know. hahaha :>>

Julia May 21 2016 10:58 pm Just watched episode 4, the story get more interesting. In this episode I feel so sad, about yeon hui and peoples around her. Sad story. Hope the story keep the nice plot. LOVE IT

joann May 21 2016 12:27 pm i love this drama.and i love shi yoon..stop hating,if you dont like it go away and dont watch very simple....

faye May 21 2016 9:11 am I doubt people who whining the age gap here is watching the drama.... this drama is not about lovey dovey between old and young people so far.... btw I LOOOOVE THIS DRAMA! Scary but still interesting. it's so fresh for a korean drama~

Julia May 21 2016 1:45 am I agree with you Yeon Hee, but even WGM is not a REAL LIFE. If WGM is a REAL LIFE show, there are a lot of 'couples' that are confirmed as real couple.

Witch Yeon Hee May 21 2016 12:25 am i have seen episode 3! it was sooooo intense and scary and now i can't wait for next episodes! Things are getting more and more interesting! Whoever love this drama, let us just ignore all those haters and enjoy the show instead. Haters should just go watch We Got Married or Kardashians show if they want a REAL LIFE show.

K May 20 2016 8:59 pm the first 2 episodes plot reminds me a lot of Tangled (Disney) tbh, so it's not that fresh to me, but i still highly anticipate the next episodes since i love this kind of plot. and i wish that the plot will be even fresher and better. And i dont think that their age gap annoys me.to be honest i dont even care, as long as their age gaps wont make any of this drama awkward or so. They're a good actor/actress so let's just believe in them.

The Watcher May 20 2016 8:52 pm @life: don't bother to watch any fiction drama...go watch the reality show but i bet even the reality show also scripted. NO..you should just sit quietly and watch people around you..that's the 'REAL LIFE' show for you...

Julia May 20 2016 7:06 pm @life : I dont think this is a pedo mentality issue. I watch a drama becoz I know this is not a REAL LIFE. In this drama, KSR is 17 years old. And this is saeguk drama when a girl reach her 17, its mean at that time she is a legal. Why you confused a fiction story with a REAL LIFE. I think people must differentiate a FICTION with a REAL LIFE.

Tpa May 20 2016 12:07 pm My first time to comment but I do not understand the issue with the age gap of the leads. I think this is more about the fact that she is underage that is not pleasing some of you.Nobody was shocked about Uee being 17 years younger than Lee seo jin in MBC drama Marriage Contract. I respect the opinion of everybody but insulting people just because they have a different view, well I find it gross. This is a fiction, the main actress is not required or obliged to like the lead in real life ! If you do not like it skip it and look for something that suit you.

life May 20 2016 11:01 am you guys excuse is that its okay because she's mature ? and that its a drama and they are both playing 17 year old? well in REAL LIFE ,shes 15 and hes 2x her age and its gross,would you guys be fine if your 15 year old wanted to be with a 30 year old? thats pedo mentality all you guys have ,please dont have any children if you guys think this is okay .

Julia May 20 2016 5:51 am Now I've been watching 2 kdrama with age gap issue, Entertainer and Mirror of the witch. And I dont really feel the age gap in these 2 drama. In entertainer, jisung oppa make a great act so I didn't care about the age gap but I care about the storyplot. Entertainer's story is interesting. This drama too, I don't care about the age gap, becoz yoon shin yoon looks younger a lot than his age. He look in his early 20. So I'm looking forward for the next episode. Hope the plot getting more interesting.

Chen May 20 2016 4:22 am I love the actor and the actress for the lead- they are really good plus the story is not common among the korean dramas I had watched so far. I never mind and really forgot the age gap between Kim Sae Ron and Yoon Si Yoon while I was watching the first 2 episodes. I'll (definitely)be watching the whole story. Hope it will be as good as we have anticipated. Btw, yoon si yoon is in 2days 1 night (1n2d) a refreshing character on the program. I got good laughs.

FansBN May 18 2016 2:56 pm In my opinion, everyone should just enjoy the drama, without looking at the age gap. Just consider them as if they are really 17 years old, instead of a 15 and 29 years old actors. Personally, I think that they have a great chemistry. Its only been two episodes, so I think everyone should give them a chance. Well anyway, I love you Mirror of the Witch!!! Daebak!! Can't wait to watch the next episodes.

rdk May 18 2016 11:14 am Yoon Shi Yoon said the characters are both 17, but imo, Kim Sae Ron looks way younger than 17 and Yoon Shi Yoon looks like a guy in his early 20s. But I choose to not care about that. The first episode is mind blowing. The second episode is not as intense as the first, but it's good though. I can't really feel the chemistry between the leads yet, but it's ok for me. I'm not rooting for a romantic story.

And oh, btw, Yum Jung Ah is awesome!

Witch Yeon Hee May 18 2016 10:13 am Have you seen My Love Eun Dong? The younger version of the leads have a big age gap too but they look fine! never heard anyone complaining about them.

Toki May 18 2016 9:11 am It's a almost perfect chemistry. When you watch this drama from 2 episodes so far, you could barely not see anything weird between the 2 main characters. Even with that such a big age gap, they could show that they didn't have such that thing at all ^^ nice! I'm looking forward to this drama! They are kind of cute couple? hehe

Shya May 17 2016 1:28 pm This drama is awesome. I am not finding any issues with age gap at all. The lead pair look adorable together. People complaining about their chemistry and age gap should watch the behind the scenes video. Cuteness overload. Especially Kim see Ron is apt for this role and perfect selection. She is doing justice to the role. In episode 2 she made me teary eyed when asking for those fruits as she can't go over the fence. We can feel her loneliness and innocence in her expressions. Great actress and having a bright future. NOT TO MENTION, CGI is top notch and out of the world. The tiger scene had me glued and look so real. Exceptional CG work. Overall this drama is awesome and I am eagerly waiting for 3rd episode.

woo May 17 2016 12:52 pm i watched the first two ep and you can clearly tell the age difference ,KSR looks like his little sister and its turning me wayy off from this drama,idc what anyone says about how the legal age in korea is 13 ,who in the right might would cast a 15 year old as the love interest to a what ? 29? smhhhhh way to ruin a good drama for those who arent pedophiles .

monstar ❤ May 16 2016 7:02 am Im enjoying this drama so far. The story is interesting, its like a crossover of different fairy tales. The story is amazing! Im not feeling the chemistry between yoon shi yoon and kim sae ron, YET, but i know it will develop eventually. Im sticking to this drama mainly because of the story. Cant wait for the next episode...

Witch May 16 2016 6:38 am @CassavaRice AndCorn it's totally trueeeeee! I played their first meeting on repeat! It's not romantic, it's not love at first sight or crazy like any other kdrama couples met, but it was funny and cute!! Kim Sae Ron and that lead guy played it out perfect! and really, i know her real age is, but i enjoyed the drama without any age gap judgements. Some people have to take chill pill, really. It's just a drama. People call it acting if you didn't know what that means.

Can't wait for next episode! Much loveeeeeee

CassavaRice AndCorn May 15 2016 11:12 pm It's really beautiful! Yoon Si-Yoon and Kim Sae-Ron's chemistry in this drama is perfect. It's a FAIRY TALE and the setting is Joseon. Although it has Shamans and the royal family, it's very different and far from The Moon Embracing The Sun. I mention it because a lot of people talked about it. It's more like Tangled. It's a beautiful dark fairy tale plus comedy. Their first meeting was not romantic. It's SWEET and CUTE and HEARTWARMING and FUNNY and better than romantic. And you're hooked after watching them. @BARBARBAR they are not twins. There's a love story and it's lovely. It's not recommended for the impatient viewers because they will go crazy waiting for the next episode. The first episode's flow of events is very fast and it will send shivers down your spine. The second episode seems slower because of that but you'll get to know and fall in love with the characters. They're just so cute and adorable in the second episode. Then you'll watch their first meeting one more time. You'll imagine a lot of things that can happen in the story and go crazy waiting for the next episode.

BARBARBAR May 15 2016 10:20 pm are they the twins?? so does that mean that no romance is involve here??

Elleee May 15 2016 10:06 pm The first episode gave me shivers and the second episode made me laugh. Usually I'm not into historical dramas but man this ones gonna be good. Kim Sae Ron is super adorable and honestly the age difference is not noticeable. The chemistry between the characters are already making me ship KSR with the two male leads. OMG can't wait for the next episodes! :)

cumimencret May 15 2016 8:59 pm oh my gath! kim tak gu ssi wkwkwk

Mida May 15 2016 2:31 pm This drama is awesome. Kim Sae Ron is so adorable, her acting is always on point. I love the cute faces she makes, especially when she's angry, she's like a little puppy haha. Im also gettig some Rapunzel from Tangled vibes in this- locked in a home alone from vistors, hitting strange handsome men with pans, and the yearly festival of floating lanters. yeah awesome drama, really cool themes. Can't wait for the next episodes. :D

Alfie May 15 2016 1:45 pm I really like it after having watched the first 2 episodes, I actually wanted to watch it because of Kim Sae Ron regardless her young age. She is a very talented actress and very promising great actress in the future. The story is fictional but is so exciting

Natalia May 15 2016 1:37 pm The intolerance in these comments are ridiculous. First off, if you are anti-witchcraft why the hell are you watching this drama? WITCH IS EVEN IN THE TITLE. Just goes to show you how many trolls love to comment on these things. However, that is not what I decided to comment. For those of you who love to shove your religious beliefs down people’s throats, do you know what your ANCESTORS practiced spiritually? I am pretty sure it is not what you practice now. Shamanism and Witchcraft is as old as humanity itself. Those are the true spiritual paths of man and they walk hand in hand. ALL OF US derive from ancient cultures that were one with the gods and goddesses and walking a shamanic path or at least RESPECTING those who walked to those paths. It wasn’t until civilizations were raped and pillaged and forced to convert that many of these spiritual paths went underground. However, there are still those who continue to practice those spiritual paths to this day. How can you be a hypocrite and watch Korean dramas and yet disrespect their culture in that way? Do you know how many traditional Korean dances derive from Mugyo? (Korean Shamanism). Almost all of them do. Mugyo is a BIG part of Korean culture and traditions. Unfortunately, many Koreans shun their traditional religious beliefs but, they still respect these practices and they still go to their local Shamans when they have serious problems. I am sure in your religion there is a concept of respecting others (even though funnily enough it is those who practice certain religions that love to be intolerant). Look to yourself, and even your own ancestry before you come here and spew that disgusting intolerance. Despicable!

yanyan May 15 2016 12:03 pm love the first 2 episode ❤️.. can't wait for the next ep..

donesi May 15 2016 11:04 am I think its a good drama, keep watching this drama.

Isolde May 14 2016 9:04 pm Two issues some viewers seem to have about this drama:

(1) AGE GAP - I guess some people have lost touched with the real fact that every single actor/actress including the leads in this fictional drama is playing a character role. Whatever the ages of their character roles are has nothing to do with their ages in real lives. Again, emphasis on 'roles', it's not happening in their real lives people. YSY is not preying or illegally having a relationship with the young actress. Those who are so passionate abt insisting it's wrong for YSY to play the role of the young girl's love interest, instead of wasting your time here why don't you advocate & fight against the 'real' life issues of child brides & child trafficking?

(2) RELIGIOUS BELIEFS - if you don't agree dramas portraying witchcraft, supernatural powers etc.. why are you watching this drama in the first place? Have you considered maybe your own religion, if you have one, is rooted in pagan beliefs that's why not matter how hard you deny it, you're attracted to this kind of dramas? He who has not sin cast the first stone. Before you start quoting the bible & swearing by dead saints' names, ask yourself if you're even worthy to pass judgments?

So those who have whatever issue for whatever reason, Mirror of the Witch is just a drama, either enjoy it or stop watching it. Your choice.

@lcd - your comment made me laugh LOL you got it spot on. If every single movie or drama that had an evil queen, supernatural villain, witches etc... is accused of plagiarism, then shouldn't Disney be the first one complain of plagiarism? LOL

Luna May 14 2016 9:03 pm I was initially skeptical about this drama but gave it a shot anyways since I'm a sucker for the supernatural and occult.

And I'm pretty much enjoying the creative freedom on this drama as they put actual historical figures (and some fictious ofc) in a fantasy world setting.

to @daehee who thinks that it is plagiarized, please shift your attention to more sageuk dramas or movies that involves shamans. Whatever you pointed out are common factors of the sageuk genre.

And to those who think that YoonSiYoon's character is the crown prince, please do check up a little bit of history. His character is based on a real person - Heo Jun/Joon (Hur Jun). There are even a couple of shows and movies with the name - Hur Jun.

And the interesting thing is that, this drama is supposed to be loosely inspired form HeoJun's famous book - Dongui Bogam. (The series is called "Manyeo Bogam" - get what I mean?) . Though funny thing is, his book was based on Eastern medicines ( Eastern region of the then Korean peninsula).

Luna May 14 2016 8:50 pm To all those saying that YoonShiYoon's character be the crown prince should take some lessons in history. And to those saying it's plagiarized - get a life. I agree that it seem similar but let's not forget this is a sageuk drama and all these factors exist in other dramas too.

I was initially skeptical about watching this show as I was very much disturbed about the age gap between the leads (though KimSaeRon is a versatile actress and a brilliant one at that) because SaeRon is not even legal, yet. But I gave it a shot for the supernatural element involved and man, I'm impressed. This show seem promising and I can't wait to see the flow of the story.

I love how they got the creative freedom to use actual historical figures in a fantasy world setting.

YoonSiYoon's character HeoJun(check "Hur Jun" for the drama and know more about the character)..... I can't wait to see his character in this fantasy world setting and couldn't be more amazed to know that this series is loosely inspired by HeoJun's book "Dongui Bogam" [a book of Eastern medicine (as in the eastern location of the then geographical region of the country) ]. So, anyone with the idea of HeoJun being the prince, do some wiki check or watch Hur Jun.

Isolde May 14 2016 8:34 pm I've been waiting for this drama & so happy it's finally here.

@daehee - before you start accusing someone for plagiarizing, first you must be sure (1) you understand what it means to plagiarize (2) you have proof. Have you seen the scripts for this drama & the other drama/s you talked about? Is every scene, every dialogues including the characters' traits exactly the same? With fictional dramas, there'd always be similarities. Writers can get inspired by their imagination, things they see, read or hear that doesn't mean they'd be stupid enough to risk their careers & reputations by copying someone else's work word for word. Unless you got solid, irrefutable evidence, may I suggest thinking before you speak.

matilda May 14 2016 11:06 am @daehee i love TMETS.. there may be some similarities in the presence of characters that you said here on this drama.. but not exactly the same purpose as in the storyline of the other drama.. and the fact is i've seen an evil dowager queen in almost all period dramas that i've watched.. so we can't say that it's plagiarized from the first drama shown.. and yes, let's enjoy and support this drama.. cheers!

Daehee May 14 2016 9:47 am Lol @lalalala you are the one who obviously being stupid commenter here. @matilda you cant deny the true fact here. The scene where the innocent shaman got cursed, the cursed child was alive after being killed, wench shaman, evil dowager queen, innocent shaman killed, were same scenes in TMETS. But it just started. So lets give it a chance and enjoy as long as there is no kissing scene between the leads.

matilda May 14 2016 8:40 am @daehee

plagiarism? i don't think so.. i've seen Moon Embracing The Sun and its story line and concept isn't similar to this Mirror of the Witch.. long lost family, shamans, crown princes, crown princesses, kings, queens, curse, death - they all exist in period dramas/sageuk be it fictional or not.

lalalala May 14 2016 8:39 am @Daehee the most stupid comments ever ... can I say your comments is plagiarism too? hahaha

Daehee May 14 2016 7:26 am This drama more likely into the moon embracing the sun concept. Cursed child. Crown princess. Crown prince. Innocent shaman died. Long lost family. Can I say plagiarism?

lovelay May 14 2016 3:07 am Best ever, she's so beautiful. Catchy episodes, ok enough. No spoilers, don't wanna ruin anything and the person she falls for is in no way her brother...hmn

Emerald May 13 2016 11:21 pm They are not sibling Kim Sae Ron and Yoon Shi Yoon...her twin brother is played by Yeo Hoi Hyeon...Yoon Shi Yoon gonna fall for her but she's cursed any that love her will die. The curse needs to be lifted that's what I'm anxious about how it plays out#Fighting#

Bouchra Siroua May 13 2016 11:17 pm @richen lee : yoon shI Yoon is not the crown prince her twin brother, that role will be playes by yeo Hoi hyeon, the young prosecutor who was in memory if you watched it

Richen Lee May 13 2016 10:56 pm This drama has a great plot but my fantasy was ruined! I think Yoon Shi Yoon is the crown prince while Kim Saeron is his twin who was cursed and was supposed to die. I thought they were supposed to be paired up but ended up as siblings. Even though the age gap is really far, still I ship them! Ps: This is just my opinion. Im really not sure if Shi Yoon is the crown prince but Saeron is really the cursed Princess

sabung ayam May 13 2016 12:38 pm I hope this drama is doing well. fighting for Kim Sae-Ron

Kwak Si Yang Thailand May 13 2016 7:00 am I really like drama!!!! So fantastic≥﹏≤

CassavaRice AndCorn May 10 2016 2:39 am Don't be to quick to judge on the age gap. It might be that the story actually requires such difference in age. She's playing the role of a witch and she's cursed. It could be that her characters appearance doesn't grow old as a consequence of the curse since Poong-Yeon, her friend in the story, is played by by Kwak Si-Yang.

asdfg May 08 2016 11:47 pm 4 days to go! Can't wait to see the first episode +_+

I hope this drama is doing well.

Keknur May 08 2016 8:57 am Are you a same person? @noneed @dee ? Bcs you also did commented some harsh words towards kim so hyun?

Dee May 08 2016 1:26 am Cant wait to see this disgusting romance drama to flop

Noneed May 07 2016 8:28 pm I think there must be kissing scene. Since sae ron doesn't even care to do kissing since at young age. She's such wild teen.

suk2014 May 07 2016 7:29 pm I dont care about kim sae ron age or whatsoever. Im more interested to lee sung jae and kim young ae in this drama.

Harsh May 06 2016 11:28 pm Can't wait to see this drama !!!!!! I love Kim Saeron so much.

Gon May 05 2016 8:19 pm Well its very rare to see cable drama JTBC to air historical/Joseon series,I think this could be the third historical series in JTBC after Queen Insoo and Cruel Palace War Of Flowers

hannasj May 04 2016 10:22 pm cant wait to see this drama. It looks eerily interesting with a touch of magic and fantasy. I'm in!

Icd May 03 2016 9:13 am I was expecting some positive review but all i could read the comments here about the age gap. I find it really annoying when people complaining so much about the reality and drama of actors and actress. In this drama, who cares what their ages are as long as they fit with the character and story. You must be day dreaming and thinking what you watch is real, this is call acting, grow up, and stop comparing their real lives and the drama they in. Just enjoy the show. You must be a kid calling a 30 very old. What are you? 11? Then you shouldnt watch this kind of drama, your brain cant process that much yet. Pffff

Hyun May 01 2016 3:43 am @glenn Lmao please read properly. It says "a young man Heo Jun and Seo Ri who was born a princes..." Seo Ri was born a princes. Heo Jun was not born a prince.

Ggsgsg Apr 30 2016 11:46 pm Netizens in korean are overracted. Lol like they were good in everything. Always judging everythings, bashing a small thing. Like chills out.

lol Apr 30 2016 11:17 am I think everyone is way too focused on the age gap. Watch the first 4 episodes and then decide. Like they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover."

And anyway, has anyone watched Marriage Contract? That show was really good and yet there was like a 17 YEARS AGE difference between the leads.

Just wait and watch it first. Who knows, you might actually like it. *shrugs*

idk Apr 29 2016 1:34 pm Jules can you just stop talking about the age gap? I mean like can you just a little bit showing more respect to the ones who made this drama? I mean tgis drama has not even started yet but you have already given "negative thought" a out this drama. If you think this age gap is a problem, would you explain what are those problems? Because kim sae ron is a child so you say this is a problem? What if the director chooses her because she has good acting skil s and really fits the female character of this drama? Hey making a drama is not easy, im sire the director, producer, and other staff have already discussed well on picking the actors/actresses. I know it is your right to say something in public, but the way you give your opinion.... Please show a little bit more respect. And please, if you want to 'judge' something you have to see it first. I mran here you only judge something that do not even start yet, but you alrrady said this drama has a problem. Like if you want to appreciate something, you have to see it first, you have to observe it first, then you can give comments. But well if that's your opinion i would appreciate it :)

diddie Apr 29 2016 1:09 pm Is this going to be a romance? On the official pictures it seems like a triangle. Maybe she falls for the two guys and one of them (probably the second lead) is her brother.

Choi Duksun Apr 29 2016 5:19 am I really can't wait to see and watch this! And oh, May 13? That's my birthday! Hahaha! I really want to watch thissss! Hahaha Fighting!

Aria Apr 28 2016 4:05 am Kim You Jung has a kiss scene with lee min ho in the Revolt of Gumiho when she was about... 11? (though I have no idea if it was real or not).

I don't know how Korean netizen react at that time but I think people received the drama quite well (note that I haven't watch the drama yet). Maybe that just how it works in Korean entertainment industry?

And hey, even there's a romance involved, it's not like there will be any bed scene or something like that right?

I read many genre of manhwa and manga, watch many k drama and j drama, where there are student-teacher relationship, me and older brother next door, even about a little girl (yeah she was a little girl up to several episodes) who married her old man friend, so I kind of immune with these kind thing. But I respect everyone opinion.

If this drama is too hard to watch, then don't. Give your heart a rest, just watch something you like because, the drama is already on its way and there's no way it'll be cancelled XD

kiki Apr 27 2016 11:44 pm can't wait to watch this am i like all the actors i saw in the teaser can't wait

LittleAnne Apr 27 2016 3:00 pm C'mon guys, we don't know much about the plot yet but you are already discussing how disgusting and incestuous it is gonna be. Don't you like the actress? The plot? Then don't watch it and please, pretts please, stop spoiling it for the others who are looking forward to this.

viixvi Apr 27 2016 10:05 am Looks like a very promising drama. But I'm having second thoughts on watching this because of the female lead :( It's like she's too young for this type of character..idk can't judge cause it hasn't even aired yet haha. But then again there are those other actors too who still play high school students even if they look old /ehem what drama was that again? sounds like heirs ehem/ or are a bit too old (like almost 30 or something) LOL.

Oh well. I'm just hoping that the 'curse' in the summary was that she was put into immortality hence why they needed a young actress to play the role.

And also please this better not be a romance genre! I just can't seem to digest that

glenn Apr 27 2016 3:40 am a lot of people didn't realize... it was stated they were twins. . . lol, and if they do indulge into romance in this drama, that would be incest.... then again they are TWINS in this drama, why always think about romance immediately people

Hei Apr 27 2016 12:55 am Underage is disgusting? I dont think so. Bcs its not like they will having a sex scene is it? And btw in fact in reality and in drama is totally different. Hello? In reality there re many girls underage whom got pregnant and have baby. So which more is disgusting netizens? To be specific, you guys re really overreacting about the underage (?) but somehowhat did you figure it out what is really means underage disgusting? I knew that yoon si yoon is 30 and kim sae ron is 16. Well to me it is not disgusting at all. Bcs, to be professional, i dont care about kiss scene or underage. I just do care about the plots. A good stories.

Yo Apr 26 2016 8:34 am I really like big age gaps in fiction, even if one of the characters is a teenager... BUT both actors have to be adults.

dramakid Apr 26 2016 7:26 am @kelly,it's not AOA's Min ah that was cast in "Beauty and the Beast",it's Girl's Day Minah

Alinebabyhooe Apr 25 2016 9:02 pm The ONLY discomfort i feel is that sae ron is a minor. Only this detail. Honestly speaking, i love both. I love kim sae ron and yoon si yoon. But she is a minor. Like in Prime Minister and I, the age gap was 20 years old. However, yoona was an adult. If they'd participate together (ksr and ysy), at least they relationship could be something like brother-sister or brotherly friends. Other than that i really want to watch this. Let's see what they have prepared for us.

hninsi Apr 25 2016 12:46 pm kwak si yang is more handsome than the main lead. when i saw the still of kwak si yang, i think he is really cutie pie. more cute than the lead actor. but i never seen before him except WGM program.

kelly Apr 24 2016 7:32 pm Jules..i couldn´t agree more...at least the girl is a freaking actor-with a respectable portfolio..unlike the kpop idol wannabe actors who are shoved into productions ..like Minah from AOA who ¨got casted¨ in Beauty and the Beast...it´s such a shame that they have to destroy people´s careers before sb eventually tells them they can´t act..just because they pretend to be singers and nobody cares cause they are too busy looking at other things, they presume they can do the same with acting..

vmarlany Apr 23 2016 11:16 pm Why they must chose the main lead who has age gap? Since many actor out there . It reallt weird to watch my si yoon with sae ron . She still a child.

Jules Apr 23 2016 10:05 am God, people. The age gap is a problem because she's A MINOR. A CHILD. And Yoon Shi-Yoon is almost 30. It would be different matter if she was an adult. Like Hyeri & Ji-Sung in Entetainer... a bit uncomfortable for me personally, but acceptable and NOT problematic because HYERI IS AN ADULT.

And in the news reports, they give plot and character description. It's supposed to be a "romantic" relationship. It says so explicitly. You can read them on dramabeand and other kdrama news outlets if you don't believe me.

Also re: whoever said it was ok because it's a sageuk. This is a fusion drama about a freaking witch. It is very very very loosely based in history. Kim Sae-Ron's character is made-up. There is absolutely no need for faux pretend "historical accuracy". They most certainly could have (and should have) chosen an older actress.

I'm just going to pray that the relationship is super super super platonic with as little touching as possible. Like... longing gazes maybe and at the most, hand-holding.

lama Apr 23 2016 9:10 am age gape is a problem when she/he is underage kid

mona Apr 23 2016 9:08 am I like witch , superheros , supernatural , superpower , stories but in modern era , I just don't like historical drama

Bang Wims Apr 23 2016 5:32 am My style of drama, I'll watch it for sure!

A Apr 22 2016 10:58 am so whats wrong with the age gap they never said it was romantic in the plot. I am sure the directors knows what they're doing. I think its gonna be a great drama. can't wait.

Songrarawluv Apr 19 2016 5:02 pm You got a no bad English I see and I am totally agree with you. @justpasserby

ryujung Apr 19 2016 2:21 pm i dont care with everyone said to this drama. i just can't wait to watch this drama

Fara Apr 19 2016 4:52 am Is this going to be like Yoon Si Yoon and Kim Sae Ron falling in love without them knowing they are actually twins? I hope it won't be like that

Just passerby Apr 18 2016 7:17 pm So I see a lot of people are complaining about the age gap. But I just don't understand why, Han Hyo Joo and Ji Jin Hee have an 14 years age gap (CMIIW) but no one complaining about them when Dong-yi aired.

Maybe the concern is because Kim Sae Ron still 15/16 right?

But then again, in saeguk drama I see marriage in the age of 15 with someone waaay older isn't even strange. So I don't really mind even if there are any romance between them.

Well, when the character is, say, 15 years old (I don't only mean this series, I mean generally) and played by an older actor/actress, there will be some people who complain about it, but when they cast someone with the same age, they still complain.

So let's just watch it and review after the drama aired, they're both good in acting, let's believe in them~

Sorry I don't mean to offense anyone and sorry for my bad english too~

nassor sas Apr 18 2016 6:29 pm I realy like it and i will wait for sure

Pringee Apr 18 2016 5:59 am So they are actually cast as brother and sister. Yoon Shi Yoon is the the lost twin brother? Yes, thats the way it seems.

monstar ❤ Apr 18 2016 3:30 am im looking forward to this more than lucky romance or entertainer :3

딸기 Apr 17 2016 5:20 pm so, they act as sibling??? /cannot understand the summary/

Jeson Damulo Apr 17 2016 8:50 am Omg im so excited to this drama expecially i miss the baker king yoon shi yoon and highschool love on Kim Sae Ron

Sheena Apr 17 2016 7:24 am Omg so looking forward to this - yeah, the age gap is big, but it's not the first time we've seen such a big gap. Most are watching it because of YSY but for me it's KSR :) I've loved her acting ever since I saw TMFN, I'm really glad to see her in a drama again :D

Illa G Apr 16 2016 11:28 pm When this was first announced I was super excited but I didn't know the age difference. Okay he doesn't look that old specially now, maybe those facials are working magic on him hahaha. Why I am kind of disappointed is that if this is on the Romance Genre I think is going to be rare if we see romance because of that age gap. Even do in most of the dramas the kisses looks like they don't want to kiss each other but still is exciting especially if the story line is good. I really doubt we are going to see kisses on this one maybe a hug or two or kiss in the forehead. Lets not forget that theres dramas where they don't kiss at all. If just maybe maybe they will kiss the company will be taking a huge risk by doing it. And I think Korean companies are really careful what they portray specially with kpop groups and dramas. They do have their Mature movies but I think is because is an option if you watch it or not and if is PG13 and up you need an id. Dramas are played on cable and kids can watch them with out permission. What is so rare is that us as fans are the ones talking more about the age gap hahahah I haven't find any interview where the actors are talking about it.

Jsssoa Apr 16 2016 10:23 pm The age gap is a bit awkward. And i LOVE kim sae ron and yoon si yoon. I understand the concern about the two of them. Let's just stop bringing kim sohyun or whatever. I just want to enjoy the drama and their acting. Even if their roles are the romantic couple, who knows if there will be any kiss scene?

Haja Apr 16 2016 6:56 am Disgusting or nah , so what? The huge age gap or she is still minor is still better than have a 18+ scene? Thats even more disgusting

MrMarvin2000 Apr 16 2016 1:47 am The show didn't start yet. I'm sure age issues will be handled appropriately.

I hope Kim Sae-Ron isn't sent again to an orphanage.

heysaeron Apr 15 2016 5:44 pm never doubting saeron acting, so yeah.. i'm looking forward to this drama

Supporter Apr 14 2016 10:53 pm Its yoon shi yoon and saeron OMG

nobody Apr 14 2016 8:36 am I've been waiting for Yoon Shi Yoon like foreeeveer! i read most of the comments and i really am surprised by their age-gap. But really, i couldnt tell their age-gap when i saw the drama's preview picture, so i wish it wouldnt bother me either when i watch the drama--and oh, it's possible that they're not paired as a couple in the drama, it could be a brother-sister relation. Well. I'm excited for this drama

Lol1 Apr 14 2016 7:50 am I read all the comments here and let me tell you I am shocked! I don't want to say any bad thing about this drama but I think it is a little un realistic and here are the reasons: 1.)He is older than her very older. 2.) It's JTBC drama and you guys, you know what is JTBC drama? I think you know. 3.) The way he kisses is extremly good he knows how to kiss if you watched "me too flower" you will understand. 4.) It's like brother and sister I think it's really disgusting I know she is a great actress and she has a lot to do when she grows she has a bright future but I think for her age she should play with her age someone who is at the same age with her. So read and I think I wrote realistic reasons .

윤경 Apr 12 2016 2:59 am You guys are funny. This drama isn't even started yet, but why are you bickering so much? ^^" I do feel awkward with the pairing too, but I'll give it a try. I still expect some surprises from the writer. Besides, it's Yoon Shi Yoon's first project after being discharged from the army. I'm gonna watch it because I miss him sooo much. :D

Dramaholic Apr 11 2016 1:38 pm In the painter of the wind the characters also had a Huge gap of years. And also was set in the ancient times

Cha Eun Na Apr 11 2016 7:48 am @novel girl you gotta go and fix your english (cause I need to read it few times to understand). Either its a drama or reality, it still a story and needs to be wise and reasonable to viewers. Do not talk as you are the writer. People just point out their own opinion. Nor did I think it was wrong. Making a drama is like selling a product. If your product doesn't good the customer will shot tons of complaints. Same goes to viewers. If the drama is doesn't good, customers will throw shitty comments and the rating will be descended. The age gap between leads is not a problem if one of them is not underage (cause it will give them gross looking)

novel Apr 11 2016 6:39 am some ppl are ignorant, can't u differentiate a movie and reality.. ..girls mature faster than men, and as long as their fits its not a probem.Also what if the role needs a younger actress of her age.. ..will u still disagree.you Guyz only hv synopsis and you don't know the features of the cast. so just don't watch it for ur other reasons and not of age gap

alex Apr 10 2016 6:38 am so much excited to watch that drama..........

CANT WAIT.....

Shh Apr 10 2016 2:12 am I hope they are father-daughter relationship, not lovers. Lol. Hahahaha. Any role will do. Hahaha. But a bit awkward. Aja!

Shh Apr 10 2016 2:08 am Wtf? Haha. I dont know what to say. But I'm really excited! Hahaha. Fighting Sae Ron! ❤

Fk Apr 09 2016 10:48 am @tsarina Im not interesting about your love story. Bcs your love is real, but now we are talking about a drama not a real story. (Im also finds myself as funny thing bcs im fans of kim yoo jung and kim sae ron also). Actually i had no time to argue with you but since you mentioned me. So im also stating with my point. I just feel sorry to kim sae ron bcs she never gets a lead female for drama same as kim yoo jung. Im just being frustrating bcs why kim so hyun always got lucky with handsome lead ang got many lead. I really hope next time, the directors (randomly) will give a nice drama to kim yoo jung as a female lead, im not try to be argue with you but since you started first so why not and about the drama of reset. It has a romance but the didnt show up maybe bcs kim so hyun is underage? Bcs i watch that drama from episode 1 till the end so i knw a little bit about that drama

Erika Apr 09 2016 10:34 am Why are ppl argue about this ? Lol funny thing. anyways its has nothing to do with you guys, if you state many complaints then dont watch it, easy right? Nobody forces you guys to watch it. Let her be, to act with someone older or what bcs what thats what she do? She just acting and just accept the roles. Since she didint get many offer to acts so why not she accept this roles. She also needs money for her life hahahahaha its true tho. So ppl just shut up bsc they even didnt want ppl who arguiing about age gap to watch it. Feel free to drop this drama. Bcs nobody gives you a damn

Ainur Apr 09 2016 10:27 am Ppl got no chills lol

Dianna Jun Apr 09 2016 10:07 am Are you kidding me? Kim sae ron os too young beb. Plus will this story have a kiss scene? 29-years-old actor kiss 15-years-old actress?? That sound really if they had a kiss scene. But sorry. Not hating sae ron but this drama is just a no for her to be a heroin.

Ellie Apr 08 2016 9:34 pm The age gap is no jokee! She's a minor for god's sake

tsarina Apr 08 2016 4:49 pm Whelp. The second part of my comment didn't post. Sigh.

@Fk The first part of my comment was in response to @KK.

But anyway, I think you missed my point? A 15-year-old minor being romantically involved with a 29-year-old adult is not okay. It's inherently predatory. An adult should not be in a "relationship" with a child. This is not the same as a 13-year-old dating a 15-year-old. People wouldn't bat an eye if it happened in real life. I started dating my first boyfriend when I was 17 and he was 16. It's not particularly strange. Two kids playing boyfriend and girlfriend is different from an adult taking advantage of a minor.

My concerns about the casting aren't out of some kind of spite towards Kim Sae-Ron. I like her. (It's funny that you think I'm a malicious Kim So-Hyun fan bc my fave is Kim Yoo-Jung, lol). Anyway, Kim Sae-Ron is cute and very talented. She's been fantastic in everything I've seen her in. But it will be uncomfortable watching her act in romantic scenes with an actor that is so much older than her. It's unavoidable that their scenes will carry a predatory undertone because he is an adult twice her age and she is a minor. I don't want this drama to sweep that under the rug or to romanticize it.

Also... In Secret Door, Kim Yoo Jung was partway replaced by a twenty-something actress because people were uncomfortable with the age gap, even though it was marketed as her first "main" role. I admit I never finished watching Reset (it bored me) but I'm like 85% sure the relationship was never romantic, even if the doppelganger or whatever wasn't actually related to him. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Fk Apr 08 2016 8:34 am @tsarina Lol im also stating the facts too about kim so hyun, so whats your problem if these genre drama is romantic? I didnt say that this drama is not marketed as romantic drama, did i say that? No right?

tsarina Apr 07 2016 10:23 pm Whoops I pressed submit accidentally;;

Anyway, cont: Kim Yoo Jung was replaced by an older actress partway through Secret Door even though it was hyped to be her first leading role bc there were concerns about the age gap b/w her and Lee Je-Hoon. I admit I never finished watching Reset so idk if that doppelganger is his real sis or if there were birth secrets but in any case, the relationship was never meant to be romantic. And it's funny that you think that I'm some kind of Kim So Hyun crazyfan with a vendetta against Kim Sae-Ron and Kim Yoo-Jung. Kim Yoo-Jung is my fave child actress (she was top-notch in Angry Mom).

You're right that I don't want Kim Sae-Ron to act in a romance with a man much much older than her while she's only fifteen years old. Being paired with older actors might be inevitable. I can shrug it off if her romantic interest is a 22-year-old playing a high school student. This is too much. I'm not saying this out if some kind of petty dislike. A thirty year old man being romantically involved with a fifteen year old girl is not okay. It's predatory. I'm worried that this drama will try to gloss over it. I think Kim Sae-Ron has a bright future ahead of her and I like that she's trying to take on ambitious roles. If she was a little older and YSH a little younger, I would be fully on board with the casting. But I have a little sister and I am sensitive to these kinds of things.

tsarina Apr 07 2016 9:57 pm First off, the drama is being MARKETED as a romance. In the casting news, it is stated that Kim Sae-Ron is playing his love interest. Read the news reports if you don't believe me.

And lol @Fk I'm just stating the facts dude.

KK Apr 07 2016 12:11 pm I don't get the people who are complaining about the main leaders. Seriously guys the drama didn't come out yet! Not even the trailer so why are guys complaining crazy as sh!t!

Btw even thought sae-ron is young doesn't mean that you guys saw some romantic scenes in da drama that didnt come out yet.

janie saints Apr 07 2016 1:07 am @jade.

jungkook is not ready to take on a drama. wtf??? why would you bring him into this?! THIS DRAMA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JUNGKOOK.

Fk Apr 06 2016 6:38 pm @tsarina Your opinions has no point, just admit that you also didnt like it when kim sae ron will acts or was act with somone who much older than her. Besides, still has a kissing scene even they were minor or what, doesnt matter tey didnt have s huge age gap, but still they were still UNDERAGE. And kim so hyun drama's reset? I bet you didnt watch it eventhough its not clearly the male lead thought kim so hyun as her sister but after you watch carefully you will know it. Kim yoo jung secret door? I think nothing was wrong. I like it and there is nothing between kim yoo jung and male lead. So back off tsarina, you must ve fans of kim so hyun. I seriusly hate when comes ppl being unfair about kim sae ron kim so hyun and kim yoo jung. They just know to put all negativity comments about kim sae ron and praises all kim so hyun stuff. And i wouldnt do this if ppl/netizen start it before.

tsarina Apr 06 2016 12:58 pm @fk Okay, but...

Nam Joo Hyuk is 6 years older than Kim Sae Ron. When they filmed the kiss scene, Kim Sae Ron was 15 and he was 21. She was a minor, he was not. Kim Sae Ron is still in middle school. I'm not sure if Nam Joo-Hyuk chose to pursue post-secondary education or not, but if he did, he would be in his second or third year of university.

In comparison, Yeo Jin Goo is only 2 years older than Kim So Hyun. It aired in 2012, so that means she was 13 and he was 15. They were both underage, they were both in middle school. It wouldn't be strange for a 13-year-old to date a 15-year-old in real life.

And in Reset, the relationship isn't romantic. Kim So-Hyun plays Chun Jung-Myung's little sister. In Mirror of the Witch, it was explicitly stated that the relationship would be romantic.

Yoon Shi-Yoon is 29. I might have been okay with them casting Kim Sae-Ron if he was in his early twenties. But he's almost thirty. He's finished his military service. He does have a baby face but geez, he's almost TWICE her age. The age difference in itself wouldn't bother me if Kim Sae-Ron was like, 19, and Yoon Shi Yoon was like 34. But she's still in MIDDLE SCHOOL. I see how this is a big opportunity for her and do think she has the acting chops for it, but she's barely a teenager. No amount of acting can make up for that. In Glamorous Temptation, I could suspend disbelief, but this is really stretching it. People are not going to buy it. Look at what happened with Kim Yoo-Jung in The Secret Door.

jolieee Apr 03 2016 6:04 pm @korean fans,I am really sorry, but you are being the crazy here -_-

Choi ji_yeon Apr 03 2016 4:15 am @fk you are right. netizens always react like that when it comes about sae ron but no one never complains about sohyun. Their attitude makes hate them also sohyun.

bubble Mar 28 2016 8:11 pm Honestly the age gap is a little awkward, but I'm more concerned with how the actors will overcome that age gap than anything else. I once asked someone I know in the industry how they felt about age gaps, they said "It's acting, and the role you play isn't you. If you're playing a role where the age gap is 6 years but it's actually 13, it's fine. Because you're interacting with them through your character, if you're not then that's not an actor." I can understand the discomfort people may have while watching them, especially if their roles are romantic, but we aren't even sure if it will be. Even if it is, this also seems to be a drama thats set in the past and not present day, where age gaps weren't so odd and girls married young. It wouldn't be odd if Sae Ron will be playing a role older than her age, or Si Yoon playing a role younger than his age. After all, Sae Ron played a college student at the end of High School Love On too.

fk Mar 28 2016 7:56 pm actually some ppl were jealous with kim sae ron, it is not about the age or minor, but they just give a rubbish opinions about they disagree kim sae ron act with actor that has a huge age gap . basically, i really hate when ppl said that kim sae ron always acting "bla bla" she is underage "bla bla" she is still minor "blabla" but im not be comparing but why ppl can accept kim so hyun acts with the older one? especially her previously drama Reset (if you know she is lead female and the lead male is ahjusshi) . and ppl still dispute kim sae ron had a kissing scene with nam joo hyuk when kim sae ron is still 15, but why ppl said kissing scene kim so hyun and ye jin goo is sweet? back then, kim so hyun is only 13? -,- not being fanatic fans. JUST DONT being judgemental.

JyunP Mar 26 2016 11:52 am Guys, I know she is kind of still a minor but give her a chance! 13-14 years age gap isn't all that bad. In Prime Minister and I, Lee Bum Soo and Yoona are 20 years apart! And there are some couple in real life with an age gap of 13-16 years old. Keep in mind this is just acting. They are professionals and give her a chance maybe watch the first episode or so before you judge her. I'm not a fan of Kim Sae-ron, tbh I haven't watch her apart from a couple of clips from High School Love On, but she has potential.

jade Mar 23 2016 8:26 am to be honest i dont like that guy sorry guys but i hope jung kook and kim sae ron lead this drama i think this will be the best hahaha i wish soon both of them get drama together..

steph Mar 23 2016 8:11 am age doesnt matter..hahaha for me kim sae ron is the best ever..and come on guys this is only a drama why u guys so affected i dont care about the age gap and i think this will be a great fantasy drama...please guys lets support this drama...dont judge sae ron she is nice and talented actress i promise :)

clown Mar 21 2016 5:47 pm i like both of them and i dont usually care about age gap but i really wish there wont be a love line btween the 2. i mean come on guys! she is still a minor it will be more like a pedophile thing if he had feelings for her. so i really hope it will be a fantasy drama with no love story (not with kim sae ron )

opy Mar 20 2016 5:05 am sae ron always with you just show them you can do it. i don't care about the age gap so far its interesting

ghie(phls) Mar 16 2016 7:13 pm yes all of them are good in acting so dont make any negative comments ,they havent film yet... im looking forward to this drama ..and i just till the last episode kim sae ron will be the main lead..

Coman Alina Mar 14 2016 6:12 pm There goes our sexy scenes guys!! No kiss!! No...I cry............

hninsi Mar 13 2016 9:53 pm In the prime minister and I , Lee bum soo and im yoo na age difference is 20 years age gap. come on guy...i am highly anticipated to this drama

Shel Mar 13 2016 9:13 am Even if Sae Ron is 16, actor Yeo Jin Goo was 16 when he portrayed a role as a mature 24 year old in Potato Star, and there were kiss scenes too! Let's give Sae Ron a chance in this one, and its acting.

korean fans Mar 13 2016 1:37 am Are they crazy! !!! What the hell !!! 14 year age gap Yoon si yoon doesn't diserve this bad opportunity he is really a wonderful actor. Sea ron is too young an teuthfullh she has not that experience in acting her acting is not that good to lead such a drama. I really was looking for a new drama for Yoon Si Yoon. But this is really a catastrophe. I hope that they change their mind this is really not good even if it is drama but they can't change the fact of 14 year gap and low experience of sea Ron

Malaysian Boy Mar 11 2016 7:30 am Oh no!! I Can just hope that there no kissing scene between Kim Sae Ron and "That guy" Cuz that just makes me falls in jealousy T_T.

Anyways I will just supports you Kim Sae Ron HWAITINGGGGG!!

kong Mar 11 2016 2:37 am errr come on,she is too young for the character,please reject the offer,i feel like nam gyu ri suits the princess character

kpopkitty Mar 10 2016 11:21 pm I don't know about the age gap. I hope there will be no romance, because then it'll just become weird.

Yuuki Mar 09 2016 7:35 am Really?? I love them both but the huge age gap is something that will hinder them to be more romantic with each other if they will act as lover.

Squishy Mar 08 2016 12:57 pm People stop freaking out sae ron already confirmed it she's gonna act in this drama and they are gonna be a couple. It's just a drama not real. It's not even sae ron's fault it's her agency's fault.

dong Mar 08 2016 7:55 am Don't really care about her actual age, but she really looks like a baby. She doesn't look old enough

Kdramaislove Mar 08 2016 1:06 am Hahah omg why nowdays they want child actresses to paired up with older actors? For example KIM YOO JUNG,KIM SOO HYUN AND KIM SAE RON poor childs...but i guess this is the way to improve theyre skills, to partner up with old enough guys..

taeyang30 Mar 08 2016 12:07 am Wow... This will be great. I've seen the negative comments of age gap and am like 29 and 16 so what? Actors always gave their best shots so age does not manner. This will be a big challenge to show how good the actors and actress are and age gap is not an excuse. Infact the age gap ia the actual challenge that made everyone curious. As for me. KSR ans YSY cheer up guys. Go and show the KOREA what true skills and tallent is...

Biejay Mar 07 2016 10:26 pm omo...she's just 16..The story sounds interesting..let's just wait for the full casts for this drama...

Alwaysbeminoz Mar 07 2016 7:45 pm Aghh both of they confirmed already, right? So sad :( I have been waiting for YSY for the longest (just like everyone else) and they pair him up with KSR??!?!??! Don't get me wrong, I think she is super talented but YSY is know for his amazing chemistry/kiss scenes with other actresses so I hope this drama has no romance whatsoever. She could legit be his daughter ._.

sassygirl989 Mar 07 2016 8:26 am Omg i love sae ron i love her soooo pls not again. Why is she being paired with an older guy again? she was paired with nam woo hyun (at hslo) who is a lot older than her (9years age gap) i didnt like it at first but i accepted that because she is just too cute and i cant resist her at hslo and NMH looks young even though hes 9 yrs older than her... but this time i think i would have to disagree with this pairing, the age gap is just toooo huge. I know age doesnt matter like, its just acting and they are professionals but lets be honest here its just not right. Pls pair her with boys her age cmon. I know shes a very versatile actress and she can pull every roles given to her regardless of who she is paired with but pls just pls pair her guys her age or at least with close age gap for ashdjfldldnjrbfb sake!

Ailee Mar 07 2016 2:57 am C'mon really??? She's a kid... :///

Hana Mar 07 2016 1:31 am Ewwww!!!!! What a weird combo! I hope she rejects, she's a kid!!
