Jang Dan-bi (Kim Seul-gi) struggles with the complex math she needs to pass the college test. Feeling immense pressure she is able to escape through a time portal to the Joseon era. She finds some clothing and is ultimately mistaken as an Eunuch. Having modern skills and knowledge, abilities that were passing in the modern area make her a top scholastic mind in the Josean area and she is soon teaching and advising the king, Yoon Doo-joon (Jang Yeong-sil). Through the course of their interaction they fall in love. Danbi becomes homesick and decides to return to her own time. The king vows to find her again through time. Back in the modern era time passes and Danbi's feels the loss of a great love. She reads about things the King did as a result of their time together. Feeling wistful she drops something on the street in the rain only to look up and see a very familiar face holding an umbrella over her.

I really liked this one and there were many funny moments. It is a good, quick, light hearted drama to watch in between dramas with heavier topics. For me she decided to return to her time abruptly or at least it felt like that. it was really good just lacked a few elements for me that would have set it apart and made it great.
