I have to admit, I was actually hesitant to watch Mary Stayed Out All Night at first because the title seems to be somewhat boring? However, I decided to watch this show because I wanted to see Jang Geun Suk act. He was listed as the most popular actor on this website, so I was curious to see what the very best offered. I also saw Kim Jae Wook from Coffee Prince and thought that he had potential to be a lead role, which he definitely proved to be the case in this show.

I want to start with the story first. Maybe I should start with a warning though. If you plan to watch this show, make sure you have a lot of time. It's not one of those shows where you can only watch one episode a week, or day for that matter. I was stupid and started watching it at 10 pm after not getting sleep the night before. It's so addicting though that I stayed up until around 5 p.m. the next day watching. Thankfully, there's a little bit around the 9th episode that's slow enough for you to stop watching and finally get some sleep. (Also, if you're trying to calculate the time and wonder why I took that long to watch the episodes, it won't add up. I like to rewind the good parts and re-watch them. This show had a lot of re-wind moments.)

Okay, so now to get to the story. While the plot is somewhat hard to believe, that a man wants his wealthy son to marry a poor girl so desperately that he'll do anything to get them together, the way that the story was told was beyond entertaining. It's not just cute, you actually laugh out loud, then rewind because you can't believe what just happened, then rewind one more time just to laugh again (but hug a pillow this time to try to suppress the laughter so people won't think you're crazy). The introduction of the characters to one another is very charming. The two main leads meet each other in a way that seems unlike how you'd want to meet your ideal man, yet somehow they make it work through an oddly interesting way. The characters are realistic in that they don't fall head over heels for each other immediately and they react like normal people, sometimes so bluntly that you wonder how they're gonna get together, yet you're still cheering for them. They're very laid back, yet have the most suspenseful moments. The two male leads have the best rivalry I've seen so far. They're so comedic together! I hate when a show favors one male character over the other to the point where it's obvious who the girl will end up with and unsuspenseful, or the rival gives up too easily that there's no competition. Well, it might be somewhat obvious who she'll end up with, but there's a lot of moments that make you wonder, and the opponent is charmingly pitiful? There's definitely suspense. There's a little bit of a point in the middle (I think episode 9), where the story gets too mushy for me. I can honestly say though, out of all the shows I've finished so far, this has the least boring/filler parts which all add up to less than half an episode. That's the part I hate the most in a lot of shows. Even at the end of the show after two of them get together, during the little bit left that usually gets boring because people are just matched up together, etc... (which also was not the case for this show), they managed to make entertaining. I think I can even say those were some of my favorite parts. You may be wondering why I only gave it a 9 then, if it's all that great. I'm a very picky person. I haven't seen a story that deserves a 10 yet. I felt that the story wasn't too deep (maybe my opinion is somewhat skewed since I just watched Goong, which had a very deep story). The opponent however seemed to have a sad story in this show - he'll probably get a lot of girls afterwards. >____> Just saying... Anyways, the plot by itself deserved about a 6 at most; the way the story was told, however, with all it's twists, turns, charm, and oh-so-irresistible cliffhangers boosted it to a 9.

The cast I gave a 9, because the actors fit their roles very well. Jang Geun Suk plays the role of a charming, down-to-earth, laid back, character with few cares very well. It's hard to explain, because he wasn't pretty to me at first, (I hate long hair on guys), but he has some sort of likeability factor that I can't put my finger on, but it has something to do with his actions I think. His actions are some mixture of cute, funny, and cool? - something that's hard to get. I can see why he's so popular after this show. Heck, I even added him to my favorite actors list. Moon Geun Young's cute voice and face make her seem sincerely innocent even when her character's actions don't seem to match. She's one of the non-annoying female leads that even girls find cute. Kim Jae Wook was really believable as a rich and elegant man, from his actions to his posture. I had to take a second look since he was so different from his minor character in Coffee Prince. I think that for this show, I'd give him the best actor award from the cast. During his lowest point, I really pitied him since he seemed so genuinely down that I was afraid for him. His character was very 3-dimensional. Kim Hyo Jin was not the annoying opponent that many lead characters have to face. In fact, I think she had the least annoying character of the female antagonists I've seen. Upon first meeting her character, she seemed so cool that her character seemed like someone you want to be, not go against. She lost a little bit of her strength in the middle, but regains it later. I like her fearlessness, style, and coolness (for lack of a better term). I only put a 9 down for the acting and cast, because, despite being funny, cute, cool, and overall, likeable, they lack an important thing for me (with the exception of Kim Jae Wook's character). I'm not sure if it's the story or the actors, but I was never brought to tears by this show. There wasn't a heart-clenching moment where I felt like they would die for each other. I know not everyone will need this, but that's one of the moments I look forward to in dramas, if not, "the" moment. I have had many, many laughs and cute moments from this show that I have rewound over and over again, but sadly, my tissue box has gone unused and weeps without me. :(
Edit: That's why I lowered the overall score to an 8. I really need one of those moments for the story to be complete.
*Edit: There is a moment in the beginning that I almost cried for the girl, but it's not from romance so it doesn't count in a romantic drama. >:(

The music was a 9 for me. I think it's hard to compete with Secret Garden's OST (my favorite OST), but this track did have many catchy songs. I'm not sure if it's from hearing the songs a lot or if it's because of the placement of the songs that I like them and have started singing along to them, but something has made me like them, because I didn't when I originally heard them. Take the song "My Precious". At first, when I heard it I was startled by a bunch of mixed feelings - not good ones either. I felt a little odd since part of it sounds like the song from Willy Wonka, a little embarrassment from being Asian myself, and hearing the accent during the English words, and to be honest, a little fear from Smeagol's famous words "my precious". Towards the end of the drama, however, I found myself singing along while getting ready for the next episode to load! :D

I hate re-watching shows, like I always state. I gave this show a 9 though because it's suspenseful and so incredibly funny from start to the very last minutes of the finish. (The one point was docked off simply because I do not like rewatching shows since that in itself will take out some of the suspense of a show).

I would definitely recommend this show to people despite it not having a heart-clenching sad moment because it's one of my most highly rated show so far, all the characters are likeable (even the dad, I forgot to put him in there), there's no side stories whatsoever, it's suspenseful, and not just cute-funny but real-funny. This is definitely a must watch.

Edit: I rewatched the first episode of this drama and forgot about the intro. It's a weird intro, don't mind the short weird intro in the beginning, the drama is nothing like that.

I watched Protect the Boss because I wanted to see Jae Joong act. After thirty minutes in, initially, I stopped watching. The two main characters seemed too old for my taste. However, after watching other shows, I decided I wanted a romantic comedy that was actually funny and remembered that Ji Sung's facial expressions looked like there was potential. Thus, I revisited this drama and grew addicted to it.

The show doesn't get interesting until the second episode. Once you get to the second episode, you get addicted to it, and can't stop laughing because the events happen one after another. There's a lot of watch-rewind-watch again moments. The first half of the drama is brilliant and for me is a perfect ten, which is hard for me to give because I'm so picky. The unexpectedness of how the show plays out and their reactions to one another make the show a thrill to watch. Sadly, however, like many dramas, it begins to slow down in the middle, around episode 11. It's not to the point of extreme boredom, and there are still some funny and cute parts, but not one after another like the beginning. That's why I gave the story a 7.

The acting and cast I'd give a 10. This is for the most part because of Ji Sung. Despite having watched this drama for Jae Joong's good looks, I quickly became a fan of Ji Sung's cute/funny/unexpected/diverse acting skills. You'd never believe he's 37. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anymore comedies with him. Why does he have to play serious roles? :( Anyways, though I did like the main girl, this is the first time I've ever preferred the second female lead over the first. It's not that I wanted her to get the guys, I just found her much more entertaining. Who knew a girl could be pretty and funny? I want to watch Bachelor's Vegetable Store now after watching this. Jae Joong wasn't a bad actor in my opinion, just not as entertaining. I found their parents very entertaining to my surprise. I love how they all seem so childish, but have normal emotions too like real people, not the typical romcom rich parents.

The music wasn't bad but at the same time, it wasn't outstanding for me. Jae Joong sings the main OST though, so if you're his fan, you'll probably really like it.

I gave this a rewatch value of 6 because I'd rewatch the beginning but not the whole thing.

Overall, I'd give this show an 8, because, while, the beginning was a perfect 10 for me, it slowed down near the middle, which is a significantly large portion of a show for me, and because it didn't have that wow moment for me. I'd recommend this show to anymore who wants to watch something that's truly funny and surprising, but doesn't really need something deeper.

It's over. I've never been so happy for a show to be over. I feel like I just climbed a mountain. I swear from like episode 2 through around 7, the story was entertaining and I actually looked forward to watching it. I wasn't aware that the writers were changed midway through the drama when I started watching the show though. What was an entertaining, comedic, suspenseful, and cute show suddenly became the epitome of cliche romance. The first half of the story had an entertaining plot full of lies and possibilities. I loved that there was rivalry with the friend instead of the normal sappy supportive friends girls are usually given in these dramas. The cliffhangers in these beginning episodes were awesome. The second male had a good start for being in the running for an adversary in love. Suddenly, when the writers changed however, he just disappeared out of nowhere. I should mention that this is after they degraded his character into some sort of pathetic, helpless child full of self pity and no ambition. Many of the side characters began to disappear, and the story began to focus a lot on boring things such as work, very detailed work. Half the time they were working, and when they weren't they shared cute, but cliche and to be honest, pretty boring romantic moments. Well I guess the first time it shocked me, because of the 180 degree change in personality of the male lead. I was excited at first (unaware of the script change) wondering to myself, "Oh boy, I wonder what trick he has up his sleeve this time!" After grinning like an idiot for a while, my jaw dropped realizing that it wasn't an act. He became a servant basically. Sadly, my favorite K drama actress tricked me again and became a selfish person in the end. This made the ending even more unbearably painful to me. I had to take a break at least ten times while watching the last episode. I should've watched Missing You first. Now I'm afraid to watch it because of these last three dramas I've watched with her. She's still my favorite K drama actress, but I felt like she wasn't even that cute in this show. :( I hope she continues to try because I'm afraid that her popularity will go down and she won't be able to get a good role again.

That being said, I don't think that it was the actors who were the problem. Yoon Eun Hye is my favorite actress, she's cute, isn't annoying, and can cry well. Although I wasn't a big fan of Kang Ji Hwan (I'm not sure if it was his voice or age, but I didn't find him too attractive), he cried on cue too and was very believable in his actions. Sung Joon was cute in the beginning when he had a good script, but kind of became annoying from the script change. He really had no purpose afterwards, and neither did the whole side girl thing or any of the story in the first half with the contract and everything. I felt like the new writers just tossed the old plot away and started a new uninteresting story altogether. Sorry, back to the acting (I can't seem to get over the script change). The friend was a good actress. I loved how believable her jealousy was with the chin quiver and everything. The aunt was pretty (just thought I'd throw that in there - it's hard for women to age that beautifully >___>). To sum it up, the acting was a 9 for me because I think they did very well to try to make such a cruddy script as entertaining as it could be with their actions.

Though some people say that the music was childish, I thought that the ending song in the first half was actually catchy. It was edgy and fit the whole "try to make your friend jealous/ in your face" concept. I also liked one of the slower songs at the end (This is Really Goodbye - M to M). While I do agree that some of the background music just faded into the background and seemed unnoticeable, I felt that the people in charge of the music for this show did a good job matching the music to the mood.

Obviously since this show went downhill, the re-watch value for this is a 1 for me. Overall I'd give it a 6 since my favorite actress is in it and the beginning was entertaining. I wouldn't recommend this to people even though it had a good beginning because it'll just lead to disappointment in the end since the story isn't really finished, but rather, they give you a new and bland love story.

Secret Garden starts off quicker than most dramas and starts rolling around episode 3 or 4. I finished the entire series in 2 days because of all the cliff hangers. Although the rich guy/poor girl or switching bodies plots aren't new (which is why I gave the story a 6), the show was entertaining. Although some parts are very predictable like who she'll end up with from the beginning, it's not as predictable from the beginning as I imagined. Notice how I mention from the beginning, since they do give you clues to different parts of the story. The story is entertaining and keeps you laughing from the beginning to the end, though it does drag on a little at the end and there's a couple parts that go unexplained.

At first, Seul's acting wasn't too great but it gets better to the point where you sympathize and relate to her even though she's the antagonist. The friend, who by the way is played by Yoo In Na (from You Who Came from the Stars) and Secretary Kim are very funny. You want to see these side characters. Mr. creepy stare (you'll know who I'm talking about once you watch it) seemed like a bad actor at first, but now that I see how comedic the entire show was, I think he was doing to to fit in. Hyun Bin is a great singer (that OST was stuck in my head for DAYS) and funny actor, but can't cry. I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone. Also, he's handsome, but not when he smiles. He smiles when he cries by the way, which makes the crying seem comedic at times when it shouldn't be. (I'm still a big fan though, I love when he becomes a girl and screams). He's very endearing.

The only problem I had with the body switching thing is that they didn't try to imitate each others' characters. Hyun bin tried to be really feminine when he was pretending to be Ra Im, but Ra Im was masculine in the beginning of the show and before the switch. Likewise, Ji Won tried to be overly masculine in how she walked and sat when she pretended to be Joo Won, but he carried himself in what seemed to be a more sophisticated type of sitting and walking. He would never do something like checking out girls as a guy, so the switch was sort of unbelievable in that sense. It was also unbelievable that the main girl was poor. Her hair and clothes looked more expensive than his more than half the time. I guess I'm just nit-picking. The show was funny and the romance was cute. I only hated seeing one character which wasn't even shown that often. The romantic climax was moving, but not to the point of tears. I think they could have done more with it. Parts of it did seem like cop outs, where things got solved without any particular reason.

Overall I liked the show and would recommend it for someone who's looking for something funny and romantic in a cute sense. It's not a drama that's heart wrenching, but very fun to watch. The last few episodes were dragged out though. The music was amazing. I love the OST, especially the Hyun Bin version. I don't re-watch shows usually, but I'd watch this because it's funny.

The greatest love had some of the most romantic, heart-fluttering, hug-your-pillow-really-tight-and-hold-your-breath moments I’ve seen in Kdramas (although they do get cheesier later on, by the time they do you’ve already grown attached to the characters). At first when I saw Cha Seung Won’s character, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the show. This is first time I’ve seen him so I don’t know if that’s how he portrayed the character or how he actually is in real life but it reminded me of Johnny Depp in that he was pretty but I wasn’t sure if he was drunk because of the way he moved or spoke. I found it somewhat refreshing later on since it’s not typical of a pretty boy and it seems to fit well with his character, Dok Ko Jin. I continued to watch out of curiosity and for Gong Hyo Jin. I've always seen her name in the list of top Korean romantic comedy actresses and thought that I should give one of her dramas a try since she seems to have so many highly rated ones (Pasta, The Master's Sun, It's Okay That's Love, and of course this one, The Greatest Love). I don't know why anymore, but I was initially hesitant to watch her since I thought she looked too old and it would be weird to watch a romcom with her. BOY WAS I WRONG. Her acting is one of the most genuine ones I've seen. It’s not cheesy or overly dramatic and she can be cute without using some of the annoying aegyo expressions I've seen other actresses do. She's definitely made it on my list of favorite actresses. Although the plot wasn’t original, those hug-your-pillow-really-tight-and-hold-your-breath moments I mentioned earlier along with some funny (not really laugh-out-loud funny like in My Princess, but cute funny) moments seemed to come one after another like a bombardment of entertainment for around the first 9 episodes. Every time I clicked a new episode I would feel sad knowing that there would be that many less to watch. Unfortunately, scenes began to become unoriginal and predictable, there were no twists, and there wasn’t much of a climax. The other love interest, who I thought had great potential, seemed to give up early on and appeared weak (I was excited in the beginning since I thought he was going to have a transformation). The last few episodes seemed to be mushed potatoes. (See what I did there? :D Maybe after you watch the show then you’ll like my comment more. ^______^)
Anyways, the show wasn’t bad. In fact, the first 9 episodes I’d rate as a 10 and would rewatch. They were exactly how I’d want my ideal kdrama to be- funny, romantic, cute, and suspenseful, with good acting and a great cast (even Lee Seung Gi made an appearance). The downfall, I think, is that even though these was able to make up for the lack of a good plot in the beginning, the ending showed that the lack of one or any plot twists could not be overcome leading to the disappointment of what could’ve been indeed the greatest love. Since the majority of the show was immensely entertaining I don't think that it would be fair to lower the rating beyond what I have.
**Side notes: Yoo In Na is way too cute for an antagonist. Choi Hwa Jung reminded me of Bree Van de Kamp from desperate Housewives and was a cool character who seemed practical and instead of many powerful characters in Korean dramas who simply oppose things for no reason. Jung Joon Ha’s acting was really good and serious at times which made me somewhat sad since he might not really be the clumsy dumbdumb that I like watching on variety shows. : (

I watched this show for Hyun Bin after watching Secret Garden. I'm glad I watched it after watching Secret Garden because I don't think I would've watched that show the same way after seeing My Name is Kim Sam Soon. It's not that he's a bad actor (in fact, he's a very good one), but the character he plays I found to be really mean. Despite that, I found this drama to be very entertaining. I'm not sure if the writers meant for it to have cruel humor or if it's just me. *Side note, if you want a charming romance, don't watch this; it's exactly the opposite, which is what I think makes it so great. The enemy itself seems to be the men around her. You learn to love the main character and cheer her on hoping that she'll find the strength to stand up for herself. You pity her, but at the same time keep wondering why she allows herself to be taken for granted. Her options seem so limited and the story keeps getting more and more twisted. Things you sarcastically think to yourself become the reality of the situation. I guess from watching all those K dramas where things are supposed to go right, it's refreshing to have a show where things don't but life goes on.

Hyun Bin being a good actor is a given. This was my first time seeing Kim Sun Ah though and she's an amazing actress. Although she seemed to remind me of the Choi Kwang Hee in Protect the Boss at times, I liked how she played her character more. I found her more relateable and her acting more convincing from the fact that she actually showed tears to how she acted with her family. She was actually cute at times which made me forget about the large age difference between the actors, that and because Hyun Bin looks mature for his age. I thought that she and Henney were very cute together and wanted to see more of them as well. Henney's not ugly but he wasn't entertaining when he was with Hee Jin; neither was Hyun Bin for that matter. It's not because she's the other woman, because I've seen many shows where there's cute other woman, but she reminded me of Yoo Joo from Coffee Prince (who in my opinion made the most annoying, overly mushy couple with Han Seong in all the Kdramas I've seen so far). I pitied her, but her character really annoyed me. There are pitiful characters who can be mean too, but I didn't think that she could pull it off. Moving on, I've seen Lee Ah Hyun from Mary Stayed Out All Night and thought that she fit the role of the sister in this much better; I liked her more maybe because she wasn't freeloading like in her other role. After watching who they paired her up with in this show, I had to look up her age because it seemed weird to me. She definitely doesn't look her age. I need her beauty secret! Lee Kyu Han was one of my favorite characters in this drama. That guy never gives up, and his facial expressions and reactions are so comedic. I'd give the acting/cast a 10 if it wasn't for the Yoo Joo character. Some people may like mushy, but I can't stand it so I gave the cast an 8.

I don't really remember the music being good or bad so I gave it a 5 and I would stop and watch if I saw this playing somewhere, but I don't think I'd rewatch the whole series so I gave it a rewatch value of 5 as well.

Overall I really enjoyed this drama and would give it an 8 because while I did find it funny and entertaining, I tend to have a mean sense of humor according to people around me, so I'm not sure if it was really meant to be interpreted the way I saw it or if I'm somewhat delusional (which you probably didn't want to hear after reading this whole thing). Basically if you want something that's charming and romantic, this isn't really the drama for you. However, if you're up for something that's not quite typical, and can laugh at pitiful things (that sounds mean but I'm not sure how else to put it), then I recommend this drama. Also, watch Sercret Garden first or you might not be able to watch it later and because I'm not sure if you can stand Hyun Bin in this without believing he really is that mean and disliking him.

After watching the first episode of Goong, I didn't really want to continue it. It looked like a cheesy high school drama that I was too old to watch in my mid-twenties. It actually had little to do with high school, to my relief. The show doesn't start rolling or get entertaining till after episode 3 (thankfully I continued to watch because of the great reviews), but unlike the dramas I've watched so far, the ball continues to roll, twist, and keep you interested for the rest of the 21 episodes (all but a few parts of the last episode during the denouement). It does get a little dragged out towards the end, but it all contributes to the story - there's no unrelated side stories that I hate. I thought I knew what would happen from the get-go based on the plot and all the rags-to-riches stories I've read or watched. I was WRONG. Goong's story deserves a 10 or more if possible. The story is so intricately detailed and woven into the drama from early on. I love comedies, but this is not really a comedy. Every episode will tear your heart up with heart-wrenching line after line, words so deep with meaning that you can't tell right from wrong and you don't know who to side with. The writers really took advantage of everything. I LOVE how the competitor in love doesn't give up so easily like in many triangles, because there's nothing that's more unsuspenseful than a weak competitor. I wanted him to fight more though, but I guess that might have been overkill since the writers already had me in suspense and tears. BUY TISSUES!!!

The only criticisms I have, and I'm not sure if this is what happens in all of Eun Yun Hye's dramas or not, is that her character randomly seemed to lose interest in the guy during the last episode to the point that I couldn't tell whether they'd end up together or not. However, it wasn't as bad as in Coffee Prince where it seemed like she just used the guy and changed her personality 180 degrees. In addition, for a couple episodes, they started using the cheap trick of using misunderstandings for the basis of problems. This is just nit-picking though. Like I said, the story is a 10, if not more.

The cover of Goong where they're holding up wine glasses doesn't justify the characters. To be honest, that's one of the reasons I didn't want to watch this show at first. Who wants to watch a love story with ugly people? It's a shallow thing to say, but it's hard to believe that the girl is head-over-heels for a guy at first sight if their personality and looks are both lacking. I watched this show because I became a fan of Eun Yoon Hye after watching her on XMan and in Coffee Prince. She's one of the actresses that doesn't seem to get on your nerves in my opinion. I do have to say though that I thought her character was cuter in Coffee Prince. I did like how her character was more honest in this show, but some of the crying seemed like unnecessary pouting at times. She's still my favorite actress, however. Qualities I look for in lead roles are likeability and believability in crying, both of which she has. I also watched for Ji-Hyo after watching her in Running Man. I love how she's not whiny and goo-goo eyed over every guy she sees like other female stars on Running Man. She's cute and comedic. In Goong, I had doubts after seeing her character to begin with - about whether I liked the character or not. In the end, I wanted a little more from her but I did come to respect her character as well. I didn't find the two main guys attractive at first. In fact, I almost wanted to stop watching because of them. They didn't have the instant charm like Gong Yoo had with his wrinkle/dimples in Coffee Prince. They have more subtle qualities like Yul's voice which becomes comforting as time passes. Shin had very nice side and 3/4 views and Yul sometimes looked like Donghae from Super Junior. They weren't bad actors, and I saw each of them cry well at least once, but the guys seemed lacking in their emotional expressions in comparison to the girls. One time, Yul was even crying without tears, and it was a full-on cry, not just a sad/depressed type of soft cry. He does have significantly good moments though, and I do see why they were cast for their roles since Shin doesn't show much emotion and Yul is the caring type. As for the side characters, they were all chosen very well. I think only the sister seemed to not fit in - she was too happy to fit in with the mood. Yul's mother was an AMAZING actress; she's not the main character, and she didn't even have a good character, but I think she was actually the best actress in this show, which is very hard for a side character. She stole the show and the show would not be the same without her, which is a lot for me to say since I hate side characters, ESPECIALLY the parents in the majority of what I watch. They usually give annoying side characters but all of these characters, even Chae-Kyung's parents (who I found too weird in Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss), were heartwarming and believable. The friends (including servants) were not the annoying friends that you often see. They had their funny moments too.

The drama had a good OST; I'd say a 7. One of the songs (Perhaps Love - Howl and J) was comparable to the OST from Secret Garden in how much I liked it. The placement of the music was only okay in my opinion though.

I gave this show a re-watch value of 3. I say this in all my reviews, I don't like re-watching shows unless they're funny. Don't get me wrong, I loved this show and am adding it to my favorites list, but just like how Gladiator and Titanic were great, there's not much re-watch value to them since you know what's gonna happen.

Overall, I'd rate this at only an 8 because I'm greedy and wanted a better ending in the last episode (just for reference, there are few stories that meet my expectations for good endings). Though I do like that they didn't just couple everyone off like they always do for a happy ending, but were still mindful of side-characters throughout the story. I also liked the ending of the other guy a lot, and found it touching and very fitting with his character. I didn't think this was as funny as dramas like Secret Garden (maybe because I've been watching Running Man with all the comedians), but I'd recommend this drama for anyone who wants a deep, thoroughly thought out story with no unrelated side stories, and words that will make your heart beat so hard that you have to hug a pillow while watching to keep it in.

I watched Reply 1997 because of the great reviews it had and because of its popularity. I was hesitant at first because the entire show is basically composed of flashbacks, and I usually hate flashbacks, but the flashbacks are what give the show the nostalgic feeling. This show is slow-paced compared to something like Secret Garden that causes addiction and gives you a high, but that also contributes to the whole nostalgia/warm feeling. It's nice to have a show you can watch now and then without getting addicted that you can still sincerely enjoy. It was refreshing in comparison to other romantic comedies in that it was real - sometimes to the point of brutal honesty. There's no random prince that comes or unrealistic obstacles to overcome. The characters were relatable and you'll often find yourself saying things like, "Hey, I remember that!" or "I used to do that! Oh man, did I look that stupid? xD"

The story doesn't seem interesting from the description, but as you watch, you'll find yourself going down through memory lane with them. You don't have to be a fan of H.O.T. or even know them to understand the story. The things they do seem universal, so anyone can relate. The actors are very convincing. You'll often find yourself laughing, worrying, crying, and sympathizing with them. The writers and actors, surprisingly had my heart clench from episode one where I didn't even know the characters. There's no fillers or slowing down to worry about since the story seems to have the same pace throughout the drama. Also, the side romance is very cute and not annoying. To be honest, seeing Eun Ji Won act actually is part of what I was looking forward to in this drama. 1.) He's entertaining on variety shows. 2.) He was part of Sechs Kies and the main girl was a fan of H.O.T.- who used to compete with Sechs Kies. 3.) He was on the show Secret, where they revealed his poor acting skills and he apologized because he said he really wanted to act but never got a chance to get acting lessons. High five, Eun Ji Won! I think his acting was believable in this. I have to admit though that it was weird that he was a closet pervert. I should add a little bit of a warning that some of the humor seems a little crude for my taste compared to the cutesy clean humor that most Korean romcoms have. Don't get me wrong, they don't show anything bad, it was just somewhat shocking compared to the other shows. The show manages to keep the warm nostalgic feeling however. Jung Eun Ji, is also a refreshing aspect of this drama. Sure there's strong females actresses out there like Yoon Eun Hye and Ha Ji Won who you love because they aren't annoyingly cutesy, but Jung Eun Ji seems to take it to a whole new level. I usually love actors based on their crying ability, but she didn't even cry in this drama and I liked her. Her character - down to her voice, was more cool than cutesy; it was very different from what I normally see. Lastly, I am a new fan of Seo In Guk. He is a very good actor. I hate when guys seem to not show interest in the main girl in what is supposed to be a romance, such as the main character in Goong. Though I still like Gong Yoo in Coffee Prince the best for his crying abilities (man that guy can cry), Seo In Guk, was the first male lead I've seen that really shows how much he's in love with the main character. Just the way he stares at her gives me goosebumps and makes me sympathize with him and want to cry at the same time. O___O (He don't stare at her in a creepy way, f.y.i.)

Anyways, the music wasn't anything new to me since I've heard many of these songs over and over. Since they're popular songs I gave it a 6. Note, there is a weird country tune they play for awkward moments, which I though was weird since country seems more American to me.

I don't really rewatch dramas so I'd give this a 5 for rewatch value.

Overall I gave the drama an 7.5 because while I was moved by it, and did the whole traveling down memory lane with it, my personal preference is more of the funny/suspenseful/addicting dramas. I do admit, it had the touching moments I was looking for, however, it just never gave me that wow moment. I think that's more of the feel they were going for though, so it might just be a matter of taste. I'd recommend this drama to anyone who wants to watch a not-so-typical drama that's realistic and refreshing, and one that you can watch at your own pace.

I thought the plot seemed interesting at first because of DID, but after watching (and dropping) Hyde, Jekyll, and I, I wasn't sure if I had the strength to endure another show about multiple personalities. Therefore, I decided to watch Kill Me, Heal Me after waiting a little to let its rating on here level out and make sure that the high score was not just due to a fad like Hyde, Jekyll, and I which turned out to be one of the most emotionless dramas I've seen despite the Hallyu cast (I hope Hyun Bin will come out with something better next time : ( ).
Kill Me, Heal Me is almost the opposite. The actors aren't ones that many people watch because of their fame or overly-good looks but are quite talented if you give them a chance. I realized that Ji Sung is like a hidden gem after watching Protect the Boss. Although I don't see many people "fangirling" over any of these leads because they don't seem to seem to have that type of attractiveness about them (not their age or the looks I mentioned earlier because while they're not stunningly blinding, they're obviously not ugly either and people like So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin are older but seem to possess this quality that I can't quite define-- perhaps "appeal" is the right word?), they have charisma. Their facial emotions and gestures are far from the emotionless ones found in Hyde, Jekyll and I. In fact, many times, I truly believed that the personalities were distinct characters, and I do have my favorite (Nana, of course). They were not only a comedic team comparable to Infinite Challenge and Running Man at times, but played more serious parts believably as well. In addition to the acting, the music was one of the better soundtracks I've heard so far. The only downfall, I'd say was in the writing. The plot was interesting and suspenseful at first, but got dragged out far too long. They abused flashbacks, and replayed them like the viewers had short term memory problems of some sort (the same clip three times in one episode is two times too many). Instead, I would have loved if they filled that time with more moments with the personalities. Thankfully the last episode was a pretty good one, though I'm not sure if the way that they handled the issue is one that I'd agree with for moral reasons. I'd recommend this drama if you like romantic comedies mixed with drama and don't mind stories that get dragged out because the acting is worthwhile.

Usually my reviews start with the plot, but I feel like I definitely have to mention the characters more this time. You Who Came from the Stars has some of the most well developed and memorable characters I've seen so far, three of which are some of my favorites - Jae Kyung, Song Yi, and Hee Kyung (four if you include Han Yoo Ra who played a smaller role but very well I may say). Many romcoms have typical characters like a male lead who's mean but turns soft and then the ditsy candy girl who "is unlike any other girl" (except for every other candy girl out there), so it's rare for a character from this genre to stand out, and evenmoreso for three of them to stand out.

Before even watching the show you've probably already seen or heard of Shin Sung Rok for his outstanding portrayal of the evil Jae Kyung in this show so it's not surprising that I'd mention him. Usually I'm the most skeptical about characters everyone loves because I don't want to be like the crowd but without him, this show would not be the same. He plays a villain that you love to hate comparable to Loki from the Avengers. Stories don't seem complete without a good villain, and Shin Sung Rok definitely proved to fit the role. Not only does he have a debonair exterior (he pulls off a suit very well I may add) but is smart and capable as well. As you wait on the edge of your seat to see what he does next, you secretly want to root for him not because has a good motive in this case (strangely) but just because he makes things exciting. The rivalry between him and the main character has a certain tension that keeps it suspenseful.

Many people have also probably heard of Jeon Ji Hyeon before watching the show; heck, even the lipstick she wore got famous from this show and was sold out selling at $95 per tube after it aired. She's not only one of the most beautiful lead actresses I've seen (she looks like a model and can wear anything I swear), but she also demonstrates a strong character with admirable confidence and a very cool, for lack of a better word, persona.

Hee Kyung is the last of these three characters. I have to say that his character is not as original because it's is the second male lead personality. The reason I say he stands out is because I think the writers and actors created a character that is one of the best second male leads I've seen and he really is the definition of this role. This is gonna sound really shallow to people who don't like remarks about actors' appearances, but I have eyes and it does play a part in how I judge characters. At first I thought he looked a little odd and really hoped that he wasn't the second lead, but his acting and the writing for his character made me change my mind because of how dedicated he appeared to be. He never gives up on her, and while heartbreaking, it's also very nice to see and hope that someone like that really exists. (As a side note, I watched him on family outing later and he has a cute personality irl too).

Yes, I know I didn't mention Kim Soo Hyun or Yoo In Na, but they didn't stand out as much in this drama for me, even though Soo Hyun plays an alien, The only cool scenes from him were the car and elevator ones but his character seemed emotionless (which might be how he wanted to portray the alien, but seems not too different from many male leads I've seen that aren't aliens- I hope it will be different in Producer which I'm waiting for). When he cried it was the exact opposite and the amount of emotion he had did not seem to match the reason for crying and made me feel out of place because of the lack of emotion throughout the show. Yoo In Na was one of my favorite characters in Secret Garden; she was forgettable in this one.

Now for the plot. I wasn't really fond of the flashbacks, and the little girl relationship was not only weird in itself since it was pedophilic but made the main relationship awkward to say the least. The climax and ending I thought would be better too; I think because I watched the Running Man version first and their ending, I was expecting something similar or related to that. It left me satisfied, but a little disappointed in Jae Kyung. I think they could have used the super powers for more entertainment purposes as well (like in the car and elevator scenes) and carried the rivalries out more because they were entertaining and some of the other parts seemed a little boring.

I don't really rewatch shows and the music was okay. "You Are My Destiny" is memorable but not my favorite; I liked the song from Younha and the scene with Hee Kyung that came with it more.

I'd recommend this show if you want to watch a show with a villain that you love-to-hate-but-really-love, a strong female lead that looks cool no matter what she does, and one of the most loyal second leads out there but don't mind some flashbacks in the beginning of every episode and a few boring parts here and there. It wasn't as funny as other romcoms, but more on the suspenseful side with a superman/ Lois Lane feel.

I gave the story a 6 because I do enjoy gender benders; this score is solely based on this plot of the story. To begin with, gender benders, aren't a new concept, neither are romances though. The way this story was carried out however, makes the gender bender aspect give meaning to this romance. The way they deal with it is the thing that sets this drama apart from the rest.

I started watching this drama because I enjoyed watching Yoon Eun Hye from the variety show XMan (not Xmen). As expected, she was just as cute in this show. Some of the reviews state that she couldn't pass for a a boy. I, however, found her to be as believable as I think a girl could be while trying to pass for a boy. I actually could see how someone could mistake her for a boy. I liked that she didn't overact with overly masculine cheesy poses or by trying to deepen her voice, but used subtle movements instead. Although she did pass for a boy, I have to admit she looked like a young boy, which kind of made the romance brotherly, for lack of a better term - don't get me wrong, they're very cute together, they have plenty of "aww xD" moments, and I watched the entire show just for them.

Early on in the show, the chemistry between the two was apparent. I tried not to like the main guy (I'm not sure if it's obvious or would be a spoiler to name names so I'm just leaving it anonymous) because of what his character is like in the first episode, but he has a smile that is very difficult to not fall for - the guy has looks, you wouldn't be able to tell that from the pic they post of him on here, but he is GOOD LOOKING. I stopped watching for a little bit after the first 3 or 4 episodes because, while they do have a cute chemistry, it starts off pretty slowly and they add too much of the side romance of characters who seem grossly unappealing to me. One of those couples changes my view of them later and turns cute.

When I began to re-watch the show it began to pick up speed (you can tell by how often you think you see the Hulu commercials). There were still the parts with the side couples that I hated though. I really wanted to see the main couple; I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Anyways, the actors weren't bad actors; in fact, they were all believable. The best actor was the lead guy. His tears were my favorite moment in the show and what made the difference between giving this show a 1 and a 10. As you can see, I gave it a 7 overall because of his acting that made it so believable that he loved the main character so much. Even the sister was an amazing actor who turned what could be an annoying character into a clever and entertaining one. Also, in dramas, I hate when they pretend to be poor but their clothes and hair, etc... don't match. This drama was very believable from that point of view, right down to the make-up. The only negative thing I can comment on is YEH when she cries. She's cute and believable in everything but this aspect.

The show had one of the best, if not the best, romantic moments I've seen. I mean the dude really loved her to the point of tears. I would have given the show a ten if it ended there. The show started off slowly though, half the show was about another romance, and the show dragged on for half the season, that's why I dropped the score to a 7. In addition, the writers start to make you hate YEH by changing her character completely from its adorable innocence to a gold digging, selfish person. I don't think they meant to make her and anti-hero though. I could have dropped the score more but that one moment was too great to deserve any less and the reason I continued to watch for 7 more episodes.

I don't like re-watching shows, but I recommend watching this if you have the patience to watch through the side love stories, the first 4 or 5 episodes and the last half of the show. That seems like a lot now that I read it, but I didn't regret watching it. I think you can get by watching the first... I think 10 episodes, just till that moment without having to watch the rest. It actually brought me to tears. I liked that it was a new way of looking at these gender benders.

The music didn't really stick in my head. I can see what they were going for and it was fitting I guess. It just didn't stick in my head for days like the Secret Garden OST.

My thoughts for this drama are scattered all over the place. There were things about it that I really liked and much that I did not. I knew this drama wouldn't be ground breaking plot-wise from the summary, but I just wanted to watch something safe where I would get closure at least since the last two dramas I watched (Marry Him If You Dare and Skip Beat) did not have that. The story indeed was typical for a Korean drama (a rags to riches girl who falls in love and a hidden secret from the past may ruin things for her). Even though the comedic parts were laugh-out-loud/rewind funny, they were far and few in what seemed to be a long and never-ending drama despite only having 16 episodes. The good-looking actors definitely helped lessen the pain of watching some of the dragged out, or even unnecessary scenes that I had to sit through since I don't like having unfinished dramas. Indeed they were eye-pleasing. Song Seung Hun has many good angles to his face while having a nice build and deep voice to match. I'll be honest, when I started this drama I had to rewind some parts that I missed the subtitles to due to his mesmerizing looks. He was especially handsome when he got angry and shouted (but I soon got over this since he kept using this technique in his acting and it lost its effect). Also, he started to look like Felix the Cat to me; don't get me wrong, he's still beautiful. Kim Tae Hee, Rain's girlfriend (one of the reasons I wanted to watch this drama), is one of the prettier (not cute) leading ladies I've seen and could very well play the part of the other woman that often has a more cookie-cutter type of beauty. Ryu Soo Young, if you cover up his sunken cheeks, is actually one of these good-looking characters along with little Gi Kwang. It's no surprise that these characters then (with the excepting of Gi Kwang) could play what I perceived to be scheming, self-interested characters who were not really searching for love or a means to protect their families despite what they state in the drama. It reminded me of My Name Is Kim Sam Soon without the script and what I believe the Heirs will be like (beautiful, selfish people fighting over love and money) since I haven't seen it yet. After the drama got boring (by episode 2 to my surprise), it was this perception that helped to make the drama entertaining for me in parts that I found to have unintended cruel humor apart from the far and few intended jokes. The first episode actually had a good ending and made me believe that the main character really did care for her father to the point that I was almost in tears, Afterwards, however, she became the most selfish, whiny and spoiled character I've ever seen on a Kdrama (including side characters meant to play this part for a comedic effect). Her unintended apathy towards people in her desire to get revenge along with the random moments of pretend sympathy were more bone-chilling than even Yejin's A-list acting for a villain. Despite not being a fan of Yejin prior to watching her on this, I became a fan of hers and not only sympathized, but rooted for her little character living in an unjust society. (This is weird since I never saw her as cute even with her aegyo in Family Outing until I saw her character here which is supposed to be a villain but seems to be the most logical and caring person of the bunch even when others don't care for her). The selfishness of all four main characters was part of the reason I was unable to see the romance at all despite their cute individual expressions. This left me very confused at some parts as to what was happening in the relationships since many parts seemed to be random. The story got very entertaining again (actual and not in-my-head entertaining) around maybe episode 9-11ish then quickly died down again. Surprisingly the last episode, though not great, made me happy (this could also be due to how excited I was to finish this drama). I would not recommend this drama unless you are very creative and have a sarcastic/ cruel sense of humor. It might just be my taste but it was excruciating to the point that it was hard to even sit down long enough to finish this. The actors were in no way the problem and I would watch other dramas with them, especially Yejin, Seung Hun, Lee Seol's mother (who by the way was very cute in this drama and reminded me of my own mother), and of course, little Gi Kwang. I might watch Tae Hee's IRIS too since I like Baek Ji Young's OST to it.

My Girl probably was more innovative during its time. Watching it nine years after it aired, I can see how humor has changed over time (though a few things here and there made me smile). What I might have considered funny back then seems over the top now and even unbearable to watch at times (especially the relationship between the aunt and the yard man). I'm assuming that because this is an older drama and one that has such great reviews, that this was one of the first dramas with this type of plot - and they did pull it off well. However, I think that because I watched this after watching so many Kdramas, nothing seemed new. Not only have I seen similar parts of this drama in other dramas, but the drama itself became repetitive; the same conflicts and solutions would be used over and over, dragging the story out over what seemed to be a good portion of the show. Like the other two Hong Sister dramas I've watched, the show pulls the audience back with a pretty good ending.

Lee Joon Ki and Lee Dae Hee were the ones who stood out to me in this drama. I feel like Joon Ki had more charm than the male lead, and I can somewhat see from his side role why he's so popular even though I think his popularity stemmed from The King and the Clown which I plan to see now. Lee Dae Hee has a very endearing personality that makes your want to see more despite the predictability of the show and outdated humor. I know that Lee Dong Wook became a Hallyu star after this, but I didn't seem to grasp the charm he had in this drama. I feel like many times, especially during the "what if" scenes where he looked like a creep/pervert and the times where he struggled/cried and looked like a helpless adolescent, were a turn off for me.

The music wasn't my taste and one song eerily reminded me of Phantom of the Opera. I don't think I'll be watching this show again.

I would recommend this show perhaps if you're a new or first time Kdrama watcher. However, if you have a few Korean romcoms that you've seen I don't really think this will be entertaining for you since there's nothing new to keep it suspenseful.

Despite not liking historical shows, I decided to give Sungkyunkwan Scandal a try since I've seen many people add this show to their favorites list, I was curious about Micky Yoo Chun's acting and I didn't want to be biased like I was with Master's Sun (which turned out to be a great kdrama btw). Like many shows, the story was not original nor profound. What made this entertaining was the character interactions. I especially found the Sun Joon-Jae Shin, Yoon Shik-Cho Sun and Yoon Shik- Jae Shin interactions worth while to see. Misunderstandings which can often be annoying in other dramas were well used for comedic and other purposes in this story. The ninja fighting wasn't extreme but some moves (like sideways mid-air spin) were cool even if they were unnecessary.

For all the characters, the actors were pretty well suited for their roles. I must say, however, Yoo Ah In stole the show. I don't think you'll find one review that doesn't mention him. I see now why this is his breakthrough performance. I've never seen someone play the carefree, bad boy (I can't think of another term for it, but it's not in the perverted sense) type of role so well. His hiccups were so cute and he just had a huggability factor throughout the whole show. I want to see him in a romcom. In addition, I liked how the president acted like a jealous spoiled child who was deprived of something he wanted and used petty but thought out means to get it. It made me want to root for him at times. The professor and Sun Joon's father seemed respectable. Yoo chun and Min Young weren't bad but unfortunately weren't memorable either. Joong Ki's winks were memorable but kind of weird. He did have the best crying skills of the bunch however, which is good for him but at the same time indicates where others fall short. Although the actors fit their roles well and were believable for the most part they seemed to lack the ability to create a moving performance during the more climactic scenes so the intensity didn't seem to escalate during the times they should have. Though I didn't expect much from the rest towards the end, I was somewhat sad to see Yoo Ah In's performance during the climax since the rest of his performance was so outstanding.

The music was well chosen. The ending song stood out the most to me.

I don't typically rewatch shows and this is no exception. As for recommending this show, I would recommend it if you want something entertaining and comedic at times. I wouldn't expect something too moving or very romantic though.

Originally I was hesitant to watch Marry Him If You Dare because the summary says that Na Mi-rae travels back in time. I misinterpreted this to mean that there would be many long flashbacks or flash forwards like in Reply 1997 (though it was a heart-warming show, I was not fond of the way Reply 1997 was formatted since the end was already known, making it less suspenseful). Since I’m a big fan of Eun Yoon Hye and Yong Hwa, I decided to give it a try anyways. Fortunately, the future is kept hidden and revealed little by little instead of in laid out plain sight from the get-go. I actually thought that this added suspense since it was kept super-secret and was one of the driving forces that made me stay up and watch this drama in less than 2 days. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed in what it actually was, even when they changed it and added to it later on (I guess they couldn’t decide), but it kept me watching nonetheless. The way they incorporated her future self into the story really made this show stand out from the rest. Not only is the character entertaining with the different antics she uses and when she meets her younger husband (their interactions were some of my favorite moments) but the character also added a deeper meaning to the story because in some ways, she seemed more like an enemy to herself than anyone else. I liked how she was not powerless and reliant on others. The characters seemed more three dimensional than in other rom-coms and there weren’t really any overly annoying ones with side stories that I didn’t care for like in many k-dramas. They were not as generalized as in other shows into the typical black and white or set roles that characters fall into. Even Seo Yoo-Kyung seemed pitifully funny and relatable at times; she did not seem like “the other woman” at all. In fact, her character could be the lead of her own drama. The show as a whole seemed to flow very well, started off pretty quickly and did not have the huge slump that many shows seem to have around episode 9-10, although it does get somewhat repetitive. Since I finished the show so quickly, you can bet that it was entertaining. I’m not quite sure what happened towards the last couple of episodes though. I would have given the show an 8 or 9, but one of the biggest downfalls for me was the last couple episodes. It seemed like the writers were indecisive and although I see where they were going by trying to leave the future open to possibilities, I felt incomplete. I feel like I was carried along a long (though enjoyable) ride just to find out that it was for nothing. I mean I typically watch shows because I want to know what will happen. I wanted a clear ending for closure, but I had more questions in the end than in the beginning about a lot of things that didn’t make sense or contradicted what was said earlier. It was unclear when characters were “together” or not. In addition, even though I’m a big fan of Eun Yoon Hye’s, the characters I’ve seen her play seem to turn selfish towards the end even though they’re supposed to be “pure”, which is the opposite of the character change that I think a main character should have. In this show, she does have the same problem, but she seemed to start off that way in this series anyways, so it wasn’t as big of a change as some of the other characters she’s played in the past. I gave the story a 7 because I thought the secrets of the future could be better and I was not a fan of the ending or contradictions. The show wasn’t bad, it was indeed very entertaining and had no annoying or hard to get though parts in my opinion. I just wanted it to have an ending that matched.
I was very pleased with the cast and acting. Indeed it was a 10. You can tell that Eun Yoon Hye is a seasoned actress by how believable her character’s expressions are. She is one of my favorite actresses because of this, the fact that she doesn’t annoy me like some other actresses do, and because her aegyo is actually cute so I can understand why guys like her. Although her character seemed a bit selfish to me, I think that’s part of the story and what they’re trying to portray. Yong Hwa is the second reason I watched this show. I thought he was cute at first since he looked like Hyun Joong Kim from some angles when I watched him on Running Man (a great show by the way) and he had a charmingly laid back personality. A lot of people comment on his teeth, but I think that makes him more human and not a cookie cutter. I have not watched all of You’re Beautiful yet but I remembered that his acting did not seem cheesy like some of the characters did (even though I liked the actors themselves) which is good for a lead role. He seems like the epitome of cool on variety shows (easy going, not conceited, leader-like). It was nice to see how serious Lee Dong Gun was. It was attractive and made some parts like the ones with future Mi Rae more comedic. Though he’s not ugly, it weirded me out that he resembles the girl from How I Met Your Mother. As a side note, the winks in the fire were a bit weird as well (you’ll know what I’m talking about when you get to it). Future Mi Rae had a very strong presence and the actress really showed skill in providing not only comedic relief, but believability in how much she cared for others (usually characters say they care about others like their family but you don’t get that vibe). Her tears are what made me believe that the future really had something intense that was going to happen. This was a really strong cast but she stood out just a little more than the rest. A few honorable mentions include: how Seo Yoo-Kyung began to have respect for herself. The brother’s acting, and the young announcer with a lisp. I really loved this cast wish for many more like it. Their reactions to the story indeed made a difference to how entertaining the drama was.
The music wasn’t catchy right away, neither was it bland. Of the OSTs I’ve heard, It’s pretty nice, but not memorable like the OSTs sung by Baek Ji Young so I gave it a 7. Perhaps that’s also because they didn’t use the same song every time a certain type of emotion or scene occurred. I thought that “My Lady” was sung by Yong Hwa for a while; it sounded like the song Jang Geun Seuk sang in Mary Stayed Out All Night. I’m OK by Yuna sounded like an ost from one of Eun Yoon Hye’s previous dramas, Lie To Me (Shameless Lie by Heo Ga Yoon). I’ve found myself excited to hear some of the songs during the series but never added them to a playlist.
I gave the rewatch value a 3 since it takes a while to rewatch a show and there were really no confusing parts that I needed to rewatch. I’d sit to see some of my favorite parts but not take the time to watch it from start to finish again.
Overall I’d recommend this show if you’re looking for something entertaining, cute and funny, with good actors (I didn’t think they were bad looking either), and no overly annoying characters with long side stories. It was not a typical drama and the twist was refreshing. Just don’t expect a nice ending (that’s why my overall score for this drama is a 7.5 instead of a 9-10. I would have gone down to 7, but I didn’t think it was fair since the rest of the drama was so entertaining.
