Lol I finally managed to find somewhere to watch the two episodes without having to go through the stupid proxy and I loved it. Well, apart from the sucky way they kept ending the episodes. The endings kind of felt like they had finished episodes of 45 minutes and then realised it had to last an hour so they tagged on bits at the end, especially with the second episode. I felt it should have ended with Choi Young getting stabbed. Is that just me though? Idk.
Other than that, I really quite enjoyed the mix of history, sci-fi and adventure going on. Those are the kind of books I like reading so it's a good translation onscreen. Plus I got through both seasons of JIN and Faith does have a similar feeling to it, the subtle comedy with the crazy moments of history. Speaking of JIN, I suppose Faith could go down the same route that it did sort of ending-wise without having Choi Young go to the future (like you've pointed out, he could never function in the future because he's such a historical being) or Eun Soo stay in the past. There's also the point that the mystic guy said she'd spend a year away/back in the past. So... We can pretty much guess she'll definitely be coming back to the future (and why do I get the feeling that this Hwata guy mentioned in the beginning could turn up again?) but whether that sticks idk.
Lee Min Ho is just gorgeous. Half of my my time (maybe more) was just spent looking at his face lol. There's something about him that remind me of Kimura but I'm not if it's in the facial features or just his personality. This also makes me wonder if/when Kimura will do a Taiga drama because I KNOW that would be killer amazing if he did. Choi Young's world weariness did age his character up and being shallow did bring down Eun Soo's age for me so I'm totally ok with that pairing lol. If/when she saves him he is basically going to spend the rest of the drama making sure she stays alive to repay her twice-fold 'cos you KNOW he will.
I'll shut up now 'cos I can feel I'm getting to ramble on and on lol.
