And usually by that time, I have forgotten all about the music. I make myself wait a day after finishing something before writing a review, because sometimes, you're just too close to it to accurately describe how you are feeling. The King was just so whiny! I understand the idea that Kings are humans too, and I get how they tried to humanize him, but sometimes I just wanted to hit him over the head and tell him to man up already! My main complaint on the cast probably lies more with the script than the actor himself. I kept wishing they'd tell us how he came to find Choi Young! I loved Lee Philip in Secret Garden, and I wish he had a bigger role in this drama, though I understand his eye surgery issues may have had a part in that. I can't believe it's been 6 years since she has acted! The supporting cast was also a delight to watch, especially Dae Man, who I am glad we finally got a bit of his backstory later on in the drama. I had never even heard of Kim Hee Sun before this, and her acting in Faith has me interested in looking up her past dramas. Though, as it is my goal to someday have Lee Min Ho's babies, I may be a little biased. The cast in this show was just amazing, seriously. You'd think that he could control lightning magic would have been a prominent focus. No one in the present seemed to be aware that magic ever existed, even when Eui Seon seemed to know a lot about Choi Young from her history books. However, the magic was a first for me, though I wish they had handled it better, or maybe utilized an explanation a little bit more. The time travel aspect isn't really unique, especially with the recent crop of dramas this year utilizing it. This was my first "historical", and I use the word loosely because I understand that this is by no means a real historical, in that there is time travel and magic. There were times when the show dragged, as pointed out numerous times in other reviews, but for the most part, this drama was really great to watch. Rewatch Value 9.0 To me, Faith felt like a wonderful combination of a great RPG video game and an old anime called Fushigi Yugi. So, basically, there's lots to like as long as you can get over the flaws. The music was really good, just not always used well. not always in a well balanced way, but the moments themselves were good. It was unpredictable, funny, touching, action-packed, political, romantic. There was a lot of really good character moments and character development. Not always executed well, but still really unique and interesting. I think this is one of the few K-dramas that I've watched where I wasn't annoyed with some bad actor. The king and queen, the Woodalchi boys, the baddies, everyone. The supporting cast was excellent as well. And she and LMH ended up having some AWESOME chemistry. She was funny and quirky and strong without being annoying. Kim Hee Sun also did an awesome job as Eun Soo. ^_^) I think it's my favorite role that I've seen him do. (And I'm only saying that partially out of the fact that I think he's really attractive. Lee Min Ho did an amazing job as Choi Young. As one of my friends put it "this show doesn't seem to know how good it is."īut let's talk about all the awesome that made up for the flaws. And the fantasy aspect was underused as well as some characters (Jang Bin, Eum Ja, Hwa Soo, etc). The music was edited in awkwardly sometimes, too. There were so many scenes that could've been amazing if they had only been executed another way. The biggest problems were the directing and editing. There were so many good things that helped make up for the flaws.īut let's get the flaws out of the way first. Rewatch Value 8.0 While Faith wasn't perfect, it still ended up being obsession-inducing.
