Let me start off by explaining to you how perfectly the music worked with the whole powerful Goryeo Royalty and the funny and always-present-to-protect Woodalchi (the *personal bodyguards* of the king). The music fit with the characters, and when it was necessary it would be just dramatic enough to fit the scene (if it was a love-scene or a *I have a plan to destroy the nation*- scene. I especially loved the heartbreaking ballad "Carry On", you'll hear why.
The main draw to this drama for me was Lee Min Ho, for I did not know any other actor, but I fell in love with the supporting roles. My heart broke more when something would/could happen to them than when the mains were in danger (also mostly because the main roles almost never die until the last ep. *not saying that will or will not happen here!* but the supports were very well developed and integrated in the story. Of course Lee Min Ho was great, it was a totally different side of his, really great acting, strong and powerful but also emotionally confused. The female lead had a great character build throughout the drama and the chemistry between them was credible which made me actually wait for scenes with only the two of them. Last, the bad guy(s), you just really hate them, but when another shows his face you actually feel bad for the first bad guy who was *shoved* away. But well, there is nothing more fun that hating someone for a small hour at a time.
Finally the story, there were political conspiracies as far as the eye could reach, so kinda a lot. Well, it depends on personal preferences, but together with the rest of the story it evens out a lot. The whole *going-back-in-time-and-adapting* was well worked out for Eun-Soo (the female lead) who seemed a bit of a natural in *the Goryeo ways*, but we don't care as long as what happens during the story is exciting, and it is. Conspiracies, fighting, more conspiracies, more fighting, kidnapping and extortion, it never ends. However, the script itself... Thank you writers, good job. Well written, almost no loose ends and it is very rarely boring (for like 5 minutes max)... This all makes the drama rewatchable (I think you'd understand more of it when rewatched) and one of the better ones this year.

A short and sweet (ignore sweet, its habit to write sweet with short!) but incredibly awesome 3 episode mini-drama.
Killer K is a bit different show than other Korean shows. This show isn't cheesy-cutie romantic comedy or melodrama but this show is full of blood, intense violence and nudity. But believe me it’s not MINDLESS drama.
The plot is simple – REVENGE like City Hunter and The Bridal Mask but in my view it easily overtakes both in REVENGE. The story is nice and well-paced. Its every second is thrilling. It isn't everything about action and violence but there are few soft and funny scenes too. There is small amount of melodrama too but it’s not too melodramatic.
This show ended in a way that suggests that there are chances of sequel but it’s over a year and still there is no news for second season so I think there isn't any chance for second season.
Killer K is full of violence and ‘ALMOST’ realistic action scenes. Truly this show scores 10 in actions including many incredible fist fights, sword fights and gun fights, BANG BANG BANG!! My favorite is “What’s this??”…..”This is Glock 17 C type…” and bang!!!
If you give 10 to Killer K for actions then Bridal Mask will get 5 and City Hunter 4 for the action (I know comparing action of 1930 with 2010 is idiotic but still overall action feeling). Both looks like kids in front of K. I haven’t seen many action dramas but I think this is best Korean action.
Han Groo is awesome as a KICK ASS high schoolgirl assassin. I don’t know why but I found her incredibly cute even in bloodbaths. Like a reviewer said here ‘She’s BLOODY AWESOME!!’ Can’t wait to see her in more dramas and movies.
Supporting cast is also very good and after long time I saw villains that are actually creepy.
And about music….it matches the story very well. There isn't any song like other dramas but background music is really catchy and makes you excited about fight.
I usually don’t re-watch dramas but this one is the only second drama that I've seen more than one time. I've seen this drama 4 times already and every time I was very excited to watch it like first time.
So, conclusion: If you want to take break from typical genres or want a bloodbath or satisfy your desire of realistic action or blood with awesome girl assassin then this show is for you. You won’t be disappointed and you won’t waste your precious time.
And if you can’t handle (or offended by) some blood, cruel violence, sex and nudity then please don’t watch it.

Acting/Cast: Generally, the acting was good. Even Ice Prince/Stone Face Lee Min Ho acted well in the role of a general (which requires one to be quite expressionless since he's an emotionless killer and all). I would really like to see Ice Prince act in a drama that requires a wide array of emotions to truly test the limit of his acting skills. The female lead succeeded in annoying the hell out of me - so kudos on that part (if that is what the character requires!). My favourite, I have to say, are the bad guys - especially the two rotten princes. Acting wise, I reckon these bad boys nailed it. I even felt a sense of pity for the prince who kept wanting to "go to heaven" with the doctor because of his health problem and his ambitions. As a modern person, I can sympathise with his need to keep acquiring power and position and thirst for achieving something unique (this bloke can be a great scientist or businessman in this era!). The true evil in this drama, I would say, would be the prince who uses poison- -that bloke is just plain rotten. Once again, the actor nailed that role perfectly! Personally, I would prefer another actor for the role of the king - at least a taller actor. I have issues with men who are shorter or as tall as a woman... does not make them look powerful or important enough... but that's just me!
Music: The music is ok. It's not "wow!' but it's ok.
Rewatch value: I will not be rewatching this anytime soon. Maybe a couple of years later and I'm bored, I might revisit it. But for now, I look forward to the next new drama.
Overall: If you do not have something "wow!" to watch at the moment, this drama is a passable entertainment. Not the best historical, time-travelling drama around... but it's worth a glance.

I loved the role of Choi Young (played by the Lee Minho), fabulously played.Also the role of Eun Soo was also great. Watching this drama you can sense the feeling & the environment.The whole cast make it worth of watching.The story,the music everything was suitable.You can't say that anything was exceeding its limits.After finishing this I'm sad that it's ended. But well thank god it had a happy ending.I also like the character of pledge siblings. I think that Ki Cheol played his role well to show the madness of character.The thing I don't like was that it ended (joking).
P.S. I was really wishing to see the ending with royal doctor but he had to leave the set early (due to surgery).

Ok, the reason why I couldn't give this perfect scores is the execution of the directing. I felt like something was missing at times even though the acting and emotions and even the setting was good. I can't pin point what it was. It is just a feeling. When it first started I was really excited about the fantasy aspect of the story, but it was underused. I don't know if it was budget restraints or what, but this could have been better if they had played up the fantasy powers. How many times can someone get poisoned??? Ridiculous!!! Another thing was the romance between Choi Young and Eun Soo was really underplayed also. They were cute and had great chemistry. I don't know how many times I yelled at the screen for him to kiss her. What a waist. It was a drama that didn't have a love triangle/square so you would think they would capitalize on that and make it more mushy. Obviously the story was more about their romance and their faith that they could be together through anything. I really liked that part of the story. I also liked that once they decided that they were in love with each other, they didn't falter. The king and queen were too adorable and I really enjoyed their love story. I'm glad they didn't focus so much on them and focused more on Choi Young and Eun Soo. Too many times a director gives too much screen time to the supporting roles. I could care less about all the political junk and although there was some story concerning Choi Young's relationship with the king, I think most of the story revolved around Eun Soo. LOVE THE ENDING!!! It wrapped everything up and explained so much.
Now for the acting...I thought Kim Hee Sun as Eun Soo was great. She was quirky and strong. Yeah, she cried, but I never felt that she cried because of weakness or self-pity. I enjoyed her acting, because she expressed her emotions very well. Lee Min Ho has charisma as an actor. I felt Choi Young’s pain and happiness and was really worried about how he would react when Eun Soo disappeared. I believe that is all due to Lee Min Ho’s acting ability. Ryu Deok Hwan as the king and Park Se Young as the queen did an excellent job. It is really hard to express yourself when you are supposed to stay in control of your emotions. The Woodalchi were great also especially Kim Jong Moon as Dae Man. Although I was sad that Lee Philip had to stop during the drama for eye surgery (hope he is fine), I was glad they didn’t play up his part to be the second love interest of Eun Soo. He did well as Dr. Jang though and he is just too cute. I also like Choi Young's friends that were "bandits" or whatever. The "bad guys" are also good. Shout out to Park Yoon Jae who really made me hate Prince Deokheung. I wanted to strangle that guy.
The music was good, but sometimes awkwardly placed.
I would rewatch this if I was looking for something sweet. It really doesn’t have that much angst. I was never once worried that either main lead would die. Although I prefer melodramas, this is a refreshing change when needed.
Overall, it is a drama worth watching. Just lower your expectations from epic to sweet love story and you are set.

I thought the cast had great chemistry & were totally believable. I can't compare them to the manga & anime portrayals but I enjoyed them all individually. I fell in love with Yusuke Yamamoto as Tamaki, and didn't find his OTTness to be bad in the least! I loved the balance between his wackiness and his moments of sincerity.
This show renewed my interest in 'girls dressed as boys' dramas by not directly focusing on the fact that Haruhi dressed as a boy the entire series - by that I mean it was central to the set up but not the main plot point. Such a welcomed change.
I can't wait to watch the film!

But let's get the flaws out of the way first. The biggest problems were the directing and editing. There were so many scenes that could've been amazing if they had only been executed another way. The music was edited in awkwardly sometimes, too. And the fantasy aspect was underused as well as some characters (Jang Bin, Eum Ja, Hwa Soo, etc). As one of my friends put it "this show doesn't seem to know how good it is."
But let's talk about all the awesome that made up for the flaws. I think the cast was AMAZING. Lee Min Ho did an amazing job as Choi Young. (And I'm only saying that partially out of the fact that I think he's really attractive. ^_^) I think it's my favorite role that I've seen him do. Kim Hee Sun also did an awesome job as Eun Soo. She was funny and quirky and strong without being annoying. And she and LMH ended up having some AWESOME chemistry. The supporting cast was excellent as well. The king and queen, the Woodalchi boys, the baddies, everyone. I think this is one of the few K-dramas that I've watched where I wasn't annoyed with some bad actor.
The storyline was also really good. Not always executed well, but still really unique and interesting. There was a lot of really good character moments and character development. It was unpredictable, funny, touching, action-packed, political, romantic... not always in a well balanced way, but the moments themselves were good.
The music was really good, just not always used well. The costumes and sets were beautiful. So, basically, there's lots to like as long as you can get over the flaws. Faith is one of my new favorites.

--> some of my perspectives in life changed when i saw this ..It's not being dramatic but it's true!
I also observed the minimal usage of music especially in crying or sad scenes which made me realized that the acting/cast was made perfect! All in all it's great!

So as a 1 hr story is not a story you can develop too deeply. Having that fact in consideration is a good story, with mildly developed characters. The acting is really good though and this makes it worth seeing.
It is a shame that this episode generated so much controversy specially when there is nothing that's shocking enough to censor it, but it is a different culture and they still have a long way to go for this sorts of themes.

The show is engaging throughout its 16 episodes run,in spite of some repetitiveness later on..
All the actors have done an excellent job and the lead pair is very cute together..their constant arguments does not annoy,but are rather funny..
It is indeed a very good show but one thing which I didn't like about it was its lack of romance..
The OST is very..very good..
All in all a good show..

The things I liked in this drama is the acting of all three main lead. I liked the character of PD No alot.
The thing i personally don't like is the storyline of this drama.Plus the drama is really a slow in tempo.At some points you may even think,"whats the point in watching this!!" but the next moment there is something interesting.Thats what keep the drama on going.When I checked the rating of this drama I was amazed that it was a hit....Well I watched it to end & all i can say atleast I didn't waste my time & I'm laughing.
P.S: The kissing scene of Kang Min & Jun Ji Hyun was really bad or it was the mistake of camera men.

I like the start it’s fast paced I don’t have to wait for so long, This Drama is very unique, even though the idea is repeated, this was made for an amazing reason, I'm watching it and you can see how it make wives think how to improve their relation with their husbands & how husbands can help their wives and better understand each other, it's a very fun way of giving advice.
The story going is very funny and hilarious as they try to adapt being the in other person's body, what I loved best about it is the way the wife talk and her expression and the husband’s reactions, very funny, I haven't laughed -held my laugh- like this for so long, for comedy drama fans this is a must watch.
Recommended to every married couple
Acting
The actors are so good, all of the actors match their roles so much especially the 4 leads, the 2 leads act as if they're being possessed is so hilarious.
Music
I really like the music fun when it's fun & dramatic when sad good.
