Very well done! I loved your defence.

Niiiice!

Great poem! Love it.

I am pleasantly surprised to read that this was many a beanies first kdrama.

It was my first kdrama too and I have a soft spot in my heart for it. I still rewatch certain scenes when I need a pick me up.

Very cute piece!

Thank you so much! Faith was one of my first kdramas as well. In spite of its obvious shortcomings, pedestrian directing and Lee Min-Ho's ridiculous hair, it was magical and charming. Strangely enough, with all these "X-men" running around, it also felt historically "sound" - more so than "Empress Ki" that I have watched recently. From time to time, I re-watch Choi's little stint in the 21st century and his epic lightning blast - it never fails to lift my spirit!

Quality content 👌
This was a noteworthy defense, @tinak . Thank you for writing this. I didn't watch LMH in BOF but was thoroughly amazed with him in City Hunter so I decided to watch his next projects. I remember enjoying FAITH when it aired the next year. It was just enough fantasy, drama and angst for me so it was such a delight waiting for episodes every weekk <3

That was so creative! What a fun and unique defense. Hope to get to read more of those!

Faith was my first kdrama, and I still love it. LMH will always be the General, and Yoon Kyun Sang as Dukman...my favorites. Wish Kim Jong Moon was in more dramas, he was fantastic in Faith, which remains one of my all time favorite dramas. The OST is on my favorite playlist, it was exceptional in that nearly all tracks were really good.

Faith was my first Kdrama to watch too...except I didn't fall into the Kdrama rabbit-hole until 2015....now I'm happily sucked/stuck in it.

Wuldalchi forever!

thanks to this (awesome) post and all the fun comments, im now squeee-ing my way through old Faith tumblrs and gifs and listening to the OST again. *swoon*

I remember a lot of folks bemoaned how the lead female was "too old" for the pairing when the final casting was announced. I still think the chemistry is wonderful between them. I love kiss scenes as much as anyone, but I also really enjoy the "so close" moments, and this show has them in spades. That type of tension can be quite thrilling in its own right.

For a show that had many problems even before the cast was final, it is still one of my top ten.

What I like best about it with the rewatchings is seeing so many bits that become relevant later in the show. With a larger cast, all those moments matter, and I like what they managed to thread together throughout the story.

As many have said, this show was not without flaws. Yet, I can't think of a single show that has none. I know some will happily argue the point, but to me, none are without flaws.

A show where the cast or story or whatever aspect you enjoy can still prevail despite those flaws is always a wonder to find and sometimes even a treasure.

Thanks for the shout out for this often panned drama. The more love it can get, the better.

Its a great drama if you like romance and friendship.

It was my first drama too! I saw it on Netflix and thought "doctor goes back in time? Cool!" Watched the first couple episodes and was like "what the heck is this??" and started googling like crazy....korean drama, Lee Min Ho, oppa, etc. That's how I found dramabeans and I never looked back!

In 2014 I was browsing Netflix and came across a drama. The plot had everything I love; romance, action, history, and a little bit of sci-fi. In no time I had devoured it and went in search for more like it. That's when I found this amazing new world know as Kdramas. Without Faith I wouldn't know Korean dramas and music the way I do today. I fell in love with it and it hold it in a very special place in my heart. I still re-watch it every now and then. You could say it changed my life :)

I am so happy you wrote that! i still watch Faith, once in a while, can you believe that? First of all, warrior and doctor is one of the most effective archetypes in romance, Death and Life, Yin and Yan etc. 'Descendants of the Sun' exploited the same archetype. Plus, it made me discover the story of Choi Young, even prompting me to read a book about him ! the only thing who left me in real disappointment was the final scene, when they just look at each other, without touching of hugging... A pity that the writer could not come up with something more memorable... like a final kiss!!! Anyway, thanks for reminding us of this great drama !!!

Not much of a defense, but a great ode.

OMG I loved this drama so much! I did not read any reviews until after I had finished. I didn't want to read any spoilers. Your write up was fun. Yes, I know "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." Haha! You did very well! The best thing was watching Lee Min-Ho at such a young age. He was amazing then as now. As an ignorant American, I had to read up on Korean history to learn about the REAL characters in this drama. All in all, worth my time for sure.
