Kang Chil Woo is a lowly officer during the Joseon era. Chil Woo is not a very smart and one of his life long goals is to become a midlevel officer. However when night falls, he is no longer that low level officer but instead a top assassin in an assassination organization. He gives out punishment to criminals and gives justice where needed. So Yoon and Chil Woo have a tragic love story. Yeon Doo is the daughter of a fallen yangban who owns a textile shop. She falls in love with Chil Woo after he rescues her from thugs who were harassing her.

This was an alright drama. Not the best, not the worst. This was definitely no where near the quality of Iljimae.

I really don't know what the heck the makers of this show were thinking putting this out after Iljimae. This had pretty much the same concept as Iljimae but was waaaaaaay different in many ways. So in a way, I was dissappointed.

For a drama like this, I thought the skills and production would have been better. The acting sucked big time with the exception of Yoo Ah In. His character was nice. He did an outstanding performance but it wasn't able to hold the show up. Goo Hye Sun's performance, I thought, was the worst out of them all. I think I rolled my eyes everytime she spoke. Totally overacted and she just wasn't right for the part. Eric's character as Chil Woo was okay but I really don't think they knew if they wanted him to be serious or boring. Well, he came across, most of the time as boring. Or maybe his costar, GHS, just made him seem that way.

The story wasn't half bad, which made it easier to watch. I will say the first 10 episodes were stupid and made not a whole lot of sense. Eventually, thankfully, the story did pick up and I was able to finally enjoy it for the most part.

This was a romantic/comedy about a hardworking girl (Eunhye)who dreamed of finding her prince charming. Her birthday was around the corner and she decides to take her savings and go on an expensive one week vacation.

Upon arriving at her posh hotel in a limo, she meets "the" guy. He's dressed nice, arrives in a sports car, and is charming. Both leave impressions of money and wealth. Later that night, they meet once again at an outdoor party provided by the hotel. Innocent things happen and they agree to be boyfriend/girlfriend on their stay at the hotel. Eventually what was just flirtation turns into something more.

Is money and wealth worth it for the price of love? Will they both survive the end of the week? Should you judge a book by it's cover? Will Eunhye find her "prince charming"?

This was a beautiful story even though it was sooooo short. It'll make you happy. I swear!

Damn, he's fine! Okay, I'm a newbie to the world of Asian drama and all things Asian. I didn't know he was a member of Shinhwa. God in heaven help me. I think I might have to go watch me some more MV's of theirs. I'm already head over heels for Jun Jin!
