    A funny school drama in ancient setting.

    The plot is well written. Leads all perform up to standard. Not a bad choice for entertainment.

    I enjoyed it.

    This is one of the first Korean dramas that I watched and got me hooked. The story is not complicated but is deep enough to get excited on what happens next. The cast and crew did an excellent job. I truly had fun watching it and I've been going back to it (occasionally) to this day.

    Loved It

    It was funny when the two main characters shared the same room with the girl dressed as a boy. They were so confused if she was a boy or a girl. They fight over who sleeps next to him or her. It was really funny.

    SCHOOL STORY IN HISTORICAL DAYS or SONS AND FATHERS

    Where do I begin.

    The basics were fine. Once again a girl pretending to be a boy enrolled in a boys only college and has to room mate with two boys. She is clever, so clever she learns and becomes and expert archer in a matter of days, learns and plays field hockey and tops her class academically.

    One of the roommates falls in love with her (and one of the others too) and turns out she likes him too. Yeah! One finds out acciddently that She is a She and the other just guesses. The ML has to discover this much later.

    Again like all the other girl pretending to be a boy dramas, the Actress playing the role doesnt even remotely look like a boy! But you have to roll with it!

    Its a simply good humour story with the bad guy always one step behind. The driving filial piety towards parents is constant in this KDrama, alongside the reality of sons having to come to terms with their fathers' ruthless past.

    Have to say this, the fighting scenes were very poor quite stiff.

    Otherwise, just enough comedy, lightheartedness, drama and HEA to not get bored even though you know exactly how it will end.

    Watche in Korean audio and English subtitles.

    Not that much kowtowing to the King (why not?) and mysterious mysteries to solve, before the ML & FL live happily every after.
