Splash Splash Love

Looking for something that’s maybe not sixteen episodes long? Check out this two-episode drama! Although shorter than the typical Korean drama, this show covers a lot of time.  When a modern-day student Jang Dan Bi (Kim Seul Gi), is on her way to take a dreaded college exam, she slips back in time and ends up in the Joseon era. In this odd series of events, she has to keep herself alive and forms a unique relationship with the king (Let’s Eat’s Yoon Doo Joo). Realizing she has to go back to her own time, she becomes conflicted and lost. This short, two-hour drama still packs an amazing love story perfect for someone who doesn’t have a lot of time.
