Awesome Screenplay, Acting

The main motive of the leads is to stop the production of harmful things from a company while fighting against the company's evil psycho CEO. It has a plain story of a mafia fighting against evil jang han seok and things facing on the way. Good projection of story, acting, roles and events unfolding. Theme was affected a little when Jang han seo died. As they tried to show some emotional feel but actually it affected the Vincenzo portrait. He could've taken turn in attacking han seok, while saving han seo and stopped Hong cha yong from a shot. And for the last 4 episodes Hong cha yong doesn't have much screentime I guess. All main leads did an awesome job. And I personally liked Agent ahn ki seok's performance. Events unfolded very smoothly.

And I m giving this a 9 as I really got disappointed when Vincenzo was not Vincenzo-ing at the time of jang han seo's dead as he could've done much better if not for the storyline of han seo to be dead.

A refreshing drama with hint of comedy

Honestly this drama is so good. At first I did not have much expectation as I just finished watching twinkling watermelon and other time travel dramas but this one was just so good.

The story is about the girl Im Sol who lost her leg in an unfortunate accident. She resented the person who saved her and thought she was better off dead but turns out that her idol who gave her the motivation to live Ryu Sun Jae is the one who saved her. When Ryu Sun Jae commits suicide Im Sol is devastated and just wants to save Sun Jae and somehow she ends up coming back to year 2008 where Ryu Sun Jae is her neighbour!! She is determined to change their fate but that is not all turns out that from high school Sun Jae has always liked Sol!!
The way they added a sense of humor in it (especially that c*ndom scene) was hilarious.
The story is good too I didn't ven realise that I finished watching 12 episodes in 2 days!!
As for cast...this drama is just eye candy because all the cast are so pretty. Byeon woo seok just stole the whole show with his visuals and his acting? Excuse me but it was so good the female lead too I watched her other drama too like extraordinary you and I have to say she did not disappoint!! All in all this is a must watch drama!!

Do Bae Man is A Horrible Dude you Cannot and Should not Root For in this poorly written Affair.

The ML is a scumbag full stop. Im all for redemption Arcs but when your starting point is bowing down before a voilent series rapist and promising you'll get him off while the victim is barely coping with the terror of repercussion then well its hard to redeem. (The rape was horrendous btw)The fact then there is basically no redemption arc makes my mind boggle. Literally immediately the apparently righteous FL (who is the one supporting the rape victim along with the MLs aunt who is a detective investigating his case) is smiling and having Chemistry with the ML. He has now gone pro rape victim not because he cares one bit but because FL reveals to him the rapists family killed his parents. This revelation makes him sad and angry (again not because he cares about the poor terrified woman who has just been raped and is living in fear of reprisal because she had the guts to go to the police and is terrified a scumbag like the ML will get her violent scumbag rapist off) no its because it affects him it makes him angry he happily got on his knees for this dirtbag but now Seemingly he is righteous and all is well Eh no its not, not by a long shot. I cannot understand anyone who could root for a scumbag ML like this and then having him have "chemistry" with the badass FL Just totally demeans her. Seriously i will never watch one of this writers dramas again on principle. What a waste of Jo Bo Ahs character. If she was written as using the ML but also planning on teachimg him a lesson maybe but that does not happen. God its one parhetic show.
AVOID IT ALL COSTS Unless you like pure stupidity and crassness.

I love everything but.....

The only thing I wish is if the old YeongHan is portrayed as happier than how it's currently being presented

I mean I understand if the funeral scene is meant to be sad, but I wish to see more smile/laughter in other scenes. I don't know, there's something about his look that is just sooooo sad. I mean, for a great life he has lived, i really wish to see a happy old man.

Plus, he looks like a totally different person than the younger version of YeongHan. Not just in looks, but in overall being. Perhaps, age has taken its toll on our young YeongHan :)

Besides that, I love the show very much, especially the part on the FL! When I first sense romance in the show, I'm like "you better not give me another cliche where the FL needs to be saved". Thanks God they know better than to do that and deliver us an FL role that we all love. Like, we can really see how she is the support pillar for YeongHan and has been helpful in many ways. I really love such portrayal of FL than the typical K drama tropes

The ending is extremely satisfying, especially when they did the last recap of all characters. The story is wrapped up very tightly and neatly. Well done

Of course, the acting, the story, and everything is great. I love that it's in 1958 and it gives us cases that is somewhat different from the modern day cases. That said, somehow there's a gloomy undertone throughout the show, despite some funny moments. Maybe, it's the nostalgic vibe of the 50s!?

The highlight for me? Lee Jee Hoon! Ngl, I'm here for him and he totally delivers! Brownie points? Seeing him in 50s trench coat is a look I never know I needed to see this lifetime and he's so dashing!!

Overally, I enjoyed it- I just wish it's a little funnier and. a little lighter in tone. But, that's more of personal preference than testament of the quality of show.

If you love a solid crime, action, detective show, with amazing cast, go for it. Every single team member of unit 1 is very lovable!

Amidst some of really bad reviews here, I actually really enjoyed this drama, so much that I finished the whole 20 episodes in one weekend.

The FL is not always likeable but she is a human afterall. There are 2 ML in this drama, one is when she stayed in her hometown, and the other one is when she decided to leave to Shanghai. I like both of them equally. Personally I think Xue Yu Ming is the one that matches more with her personality. Yu Jian is the perfect guy: handsome, very talented and very understanding of FL, accepting all of her flaws. But he wants a simple life, while FL wants to go out to sea (so to speak). One of their conversation which I found so sweet was when FL said that the opportunity to go to Shanghai is rare. Which Yu Jian replied that having meals with a Xia Guo (FL) is also a rare opportunity.

I was afraid of the ending. I'm happy to report that it has a satisfying ending. I would prefer a slightly different ending, but the ending depicted in this drama really fits with the character development of Xia Guo.

"Bound by Love: Triumph Over Pain, Illness, and a Selfish Society"

Where to start aah! I love this drama cinematography and story too, the cast members are perfect and did justice to the characters they played in this series and last 2 episodes are bit confusing like suddenly they said Hwan was time travelling whatever we see in this 12 episodes are all part of his time travel it seems, i was surprised at many scenes like mainly Hwan's father scholarship one is bit confusing like i think so the man who died at beach knows something these 7 people and there life activities too like where they will died like that is written in the notebook which jeha studies it. Is time travel is only happening because of principal or saving his friends. The 7th scholarship students were time travelling for infinite times it seems so, that is why cein's mom died and jooan's dad is being drunken all the time, Hwan's dad forget about the tapes which cein mom send it to him.

There are few scenes in this drama that made me think abt it like 1st scene intro scene hwan watches the building as if he had saw it before somewhere and 2nd scene like jooan doesn't recognize cein in one scene like he went to make him hold for few seconds. The man who threatened these 6 kids are none other "Hwan" itself and i am speechless, when does season 2 will air? I need to watch it immediately, it is so confusing and you guys left out with many questions!!!!

Wow just wow!

I think this is one of the best told stories I've seen in while! The storytelling was next level and I just can't describe how beautiful it was. It was heartwarming and heartbreaking. I'll admit I did question both romances at some points, but the performance of all the actors deserves 10 stars all on it's own. Every person from the children to the adults performed with such depth and understanding of their characters was truly amazing! I'm not even sure what to write, I've only just finished and I have been sobbing and laughing. I would recommend this series so highly for the amazing execution of this story.
