Starring: IU / Lee Ji Eun as Hae Soo Lee Joon Gi as Wang So / 4th Prince Kim Ha Neul as Wang Wook / 8th Prince
Synopsis: During a total solar eclipse, a 25-year-old 21st-century woman, Go Ha-jin (Lee Ji-eun), is transported back in time to the Goryeo Dynasty. She wakes up in the year 941, in the body of Hae Soo and there, she encounters the many royal princes of the ruling Wang family. She initially falls in love with the gentle and warm 8th Prince Wang Wook (Kang Ha-neul), and later Wang So (Lee Joon-gi), the fearsome 4th Prince who hides his face behind a mask and is given the derogatory label "wolf dog." Meanwhile, rivalry and politics ensue among the princes, in a fight for the throne, as Hae Soo finds herself unwittingly caught between it all. (Source: Wikipedia)

Comments: A lot of people had issues with IU's acting in this, and although I could see their point, it didn't bother me as much to the point where I stopped watching it. It kinda sucks that this drama wasn't as well received in Korea as it is internationally, but hey, everyone has their own opinions. I really liked how this remake of Bu Bu Jing Xin took a different turn than it's predecessor. Even when I knew how the story ended in the Chinese version, I was still unsure where this drama would end up like. I still had no idea what was going to happen next, and that made me want to watch more. This version definitely built more relationship between the two leads than the Chinese original. We get to see more of Lee Joon Gi's character, while the story is solely based on Ruo Xi's perspective in the Chinese version. Overall, I personally liked this version better than the Chinese.
