Joseon Crown Prince Lee Gak wakes one morning to
discover his princess drowned in the pond outside their sleeping
quarters. He calls his three men to aid him in discovering the truth
behind her death, and as they are fleeing from an ambush one night,
the four of them are transported 300 years into the future. They land
in Park-ha's apartment, and after they spend a night in jail after
trying to navigate the mysteries of the 21st
century, she helps them adjust to their new life. The prince sees
what appears to be his Crown Princess, who is Bak Ha's step-sister
Se-na, and realizes that this reincarnation has something to do with
helping him solve the murder of his princess. Meanwhile, Se-na's
boss Chairwoman Yeo thinks the prince is her lost grandson Tae-yong
(they look exactly alike; the prince figures Tae-yong was his reincarnation). Se-na's boyfriend and Tae-yong's cousin Tae-moo had
actually left Tae-yong for dead in New York two years prior. Will the
prince figure out who murdered his princess before he has to return
to his own time and before Tae-moo silences him?
*Although
this series was a bit more dramatic than I prefer, it had an
excellently woven story and plenty of mystery. At times the music was
more intense than the scene called for, but overall I enjoyed the
soundtrack. I'm still not sure if I liked the ending; not all the
characters who deserve a happy ending actually get one in my opinion.
Tentative top 5 rating. I might watch this again.*
