I think I'm glad that my first historical show has so many cool powers and time portals and things--it really livens up the story.<br /><br />Good guess about his constant sleeping! That may very well be the answer.<br /><br />Eunsoo grew on me more and more with every passign episode. She seemed like a whiner in the beginning, but I don't think that anymore.<br /><br />Lee Minho is so cool! I've only ever seen him in BOF, so this was a wonderful change for me. Hope you like the rest of Faith! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140835320864680932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629595233350894949.post-4035225856955816062012-09-15T05:51:56.768-05:002012-09-15T05:51:56.768-05:00'K, so I finally started watching this! I'...'K, so I finally started watching this! I'd tried a few times but the first 5 minutes or so were a bit confusing so I'd just keep giving up then changing my mind and trying again, lol. And I'm glad I did. It's a bit wierd, but definately fun and exciting so far! It feels a lot more like a comic-book-turned-tv-show than the other saeguk I saw, which was more realistic fictional history. Not complaining, I just didn't know historical dramas were allowed to be all "fantasy/syfy"-ish. I find the mixture cool and thrilling. :D<br /><br />I realize I've got some catching up to do at this point, so I'm not sure if this has already been addressed in later eps, but my first guess about his constantly sleeping and the possible plot-hole you mentioned is: maybe his power takes time to build up and is also really exhausting after having been used, hence his not using it all the time and always being sleepy. <br /><br />I'm really excited to learn more about nearly all the characters! I hope we get more of the history between the captain and his men. That little bit they showed from "seven years earlier" Joseon era made me curious as to how their relationships developed, because they seemed not to care for him much at first but are obviously very loyal to him now. Also, I got a great first-impression of the queen, can't wait to see more of her! Not so much so for the king. He seems to have a lot of growing up to do. As for the heroine.. not sure what I think of her yet; I tried to put myself in her shoes and figured I'd be considerably more than half-out-of-my-mind in that situation too, but I still get a kind of "dense" vibe off of her. I guess only more eps will tell! I think the actress is clearly great, tho, as well as Lee MinHo. I came into this feeling very skeptical about whether he could successfully pull off such a unique and complex character, especially since it's so different from everything else I've ever seen him in. I've gotta say, I am impressed!<br /><br />Yay, I'm excited for the next set of eps! :D I was so afraid it'd be boring for some reason, lol..sm1985https://www.blogger.com/profile/09770001729872674812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629595233350894949.post-13665715089033475852012-09-09T20:39:15.671-05:002012-09-09T20:39:15.671-05:00Ooh, I'll definitely email you--I need to vent...Ooh, I'll definitely email you--I need to vent/fangirl about G-Dragon's new stuff (helloooo...)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140835320864680932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629595233350894949.post-66790778194522075582012-09-09T01:24:52.071-05:002012-09-09T01:24:52.071-05:00I still wonder why/how I made it through every epi...I still wonder why/how I made it through every episode of BoF!

No American TV, no books.... nothing but dramas. And I haven't wanted to do so since I began watching them 2 years ago!<br />I had this one on my radar because--hellooooo{I'm one of a kind...I had to}--Lee Minho! I loved him in everything I've seen him except *shudders uncontrollably* Boys Over Flowers. <br />So, because Answer Me 1997 (the amount of feels in this drama... AGGHH. SOOO good!!) will be ending next week (T_T) I may pick this drama up. <br />I've started a couple dramas like Golden Time, Panda and Hedgehog, Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, Ma Boy, May Queen and Haeundae Lovers, but they've not done much in the <i>Keep watching me</i> department. <br />{However, of those I may continue Golden Time before the others.}<<br /><br />Great review as always eonni (no hangul font on this computer, boo!)!

I was ...Time travel is such a huge trend right now! I was extra-worried about this show since it's specifically a /medical/ time-travel, too, and the recent drama Timeslip Dr. Jin was supposed to have been 100% unsatisfying and nonsenesical.<br /><br />But oh, Faith is really nice. I was expecting it to let me down, but I've stuck with it for 4 episodes and I'm still awaiting more.

I love Lee Min Ho and have basically seen every drama he was in, most recent being City Hunter. He is a great actor but I was disappointed when he picked up this project. yes his hair is beautiful here, but I am not a fan of time travel, but somehow every single kdrama recently is about time travel. Since you said you have no complaints other than the endings, I MIGHT think about starting it. <br /><br />- Juhina @ <a href="http://www.majibookshelf.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Maji Bookshelf</a>Maji Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041371370691545149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629595233350894949.post-5483486821103148352012-08-22T16:54:09.855-05:002012-08-22T16:54:09.855-05:00:-D I think this drama's going to be a keeper....:-D I think this drama's going to be a keeper.
