Remake of My Sassy Girl in Joseon Dynasty.

The starting of SBS new periodic drama My Sassy Girl has caught slight attention whereby it was intriguing which the King Hwijong is forced to dethrone his beloved Queen. His evil corrupted court ministers esp Minister Jung took over and controlled the royal palace. They even made the evil consort Sukwon into Queen Park. 

Princess Hye Myung played by Oh Yeon Seo struggles to live a happy life behind the palace doors after her mother was dethroned and left them. For 3 years she has been climbing over the palace walls to explore the outside world. Meanwhile the handsome and intelligent scholar Gyun Woo played by Joo Won returns from Qing country. He is valued by the China's Emperor and also named as 'nation's treasure' by King Hwijong. 

In such a coincidence Gyun Woo helps Hye Myung but she has mistaken him as a pervert. After a short brawl, he is persistent to clear his name for he thought she was a gold digger. He kept looking for her but doesn't know her real identity. Hye Myung lost her jade ring and thinks Gyun Woo is the thief.

Even with heavy make-up, the dark circles were surrounding Oh Yeon Seo's eye bags. She
doesn't look anything as a 17-year old Princess. Hah! To my surprise Joo Won could still pull the trick as a young scholar in his early 20s. CN Blue's Jong Shin is indeed an eye candy as Officer Kang Jun Young in the palace. I am a bit doubting on Oh Yeon Seo's character as the rough and mean sassy girl (as what we see in the movie portrayed by Jeon Ji Hyun).
Joo Won still takes the same original name Gyun Woo as in the movie played by Cha Tae Hyun. 

The first episode of My Sassy Girl raked in 9.3% in viewers ratings. KBS2TV's Third Rate of Way scored 10.7% while MBC's The Guardians was at 6.6%.
