Be still my heart. Yoon Doo-Joon is a drama lead? Beast has been my favouite Kpop group since I first heard Bad Girl. Kim Seul-Gie I first came across as the wacky publisher in Flower Boys Next Door so I was really interested to see how these two leads would work together. Oh and hello gender-bender tag. We meet again.

Jang Dan-Bi (Kim) is a high school senior running away from her CSAT's. She jumps into a puddle which somehow transports her back in time to the Joseon Dynasty. Her high school level maths and science surpasses any other in the kingdom and she becomes a confidante of Yi-Do/Sejong the Great (Yoon). Slowly, she finds herself falling in love with him.

SPOILER ALERT BELOW

Oh my goodness the acting from both the leads was amazing. They had so much chemistry. I laughed so hard so many times while watching this. I suppose Seul-Gie was on SNL Korea so that should be expected. It was amazing to see how a high school girl could have so much knowledge compared to the elders of the kingdom. It was also great to see Yi-Do falling in love with Dan-Bi as well despite her pretending to be a man. Seeing him respond to her items from the future like cup noodles and chocolate was hilarious and makes you think back to your childhood where they were your favourite foods to eat!

Now I am going to dedicate this entire paragraph to the kisses. Hallelujah! They were incredible! They were soul satisfying! They were everything you have wanted in a drama kiss but have been depraved of! Hell, they were everything you would want in a real life kiss! This drama is only 2 episodes long and stuffed more kisses in here than you would find in a regular 21 episode kdrama (at least the ones I usually watch).

This story progressed so quickly but you just get wrapped up in the performances. In saying that, you really believe the feelings Dan-Bi and Yi-Do have for each other. This drama made me feel so good and whole inside. If there's ever a rainy day where you just want to kick back and watch a satisfying romantic comedy then watch Splash Splash Love. I know the name is a bit bizarre, and any friend I have recommended it to just gives me this "what is she in to?" look, but it will be 2 hours well spent.

10 out of 10 stars. It was perfect. I only wish it could have lasted longer!

If you've seen this drama then what are your thoughts?

Until next time my drama queens and kings,
