the story revolves around love and vengeance. Kang Maru and Seo Eungi wrong and be wronged while Jaehee is probably one of the most pitiable yet evil vamp in k-drama history. do watch

Unmatched title, crappy story, trashy ML
Firstly the title should have put it as “The innocent women”, because only in first episode (the first episode itself is a trash, he was ready to sacrifice his one and only sister for his loved ones) the ML is portrayed as innocent but in all the remaining episodes he is a big trash. I like FL and her excellent acting skills, irrespective of his number of betrayals she loved him soo deeply and unconditionally yet he is monkey minded(he couldn’t forget his ex and couldn’t free the FL from him) and hurt her the most. He didn’t deserved her love.According to me, the director tried to the story in a unpredictable fashion but he has killed the drama making ML a trash. Initially he tried to make this a different show but he has lost his grip in the story, there is no strong connectivity in the scenes but he is successful only in giving baseless sentimental punch.
Even though his ex betrayed him numerous times and he clearly knew she is not trustworthy yet he always given first preference to her.

Watch this If you ironically miss the old MAKJANG drama
Just think of any trope that reminds you of the 2010s K-drama scene and Innocent Man is the perfect delivery of that. The storyline is satisfying enough to give you senses of heartbreak, sweetness and contentment. Song Joongki is brilliant as usual and Moon Chaewon is the star - I was really impressed of how well she conveyed the FL's bold character to the point of that I got scared of her.Watching this makes me realise I miss the old k-dramas. Everything about it was very nostalgic. Again, regardless this is not a perfect drama, I would watch it again for that bittersweet and adrenaline rush.

fckin brilliant
a really fantastic drama all-around. i have seen the second FL in My Girl (2005) and i am so glad i was able to watch a more well-rounded performance by her in this drama. she's absolutely amazing, well all the three leads are including Moon Chae Won and Song Joong Ki. this is a really stellar drama with stellar casts and brilliant writings, i enjoyed it so much and it reminds me of how much i enjoy watching good k-dramas. this drama really tempted me to dig into the older k-dramas that have similar mellow and tragic temperaments. it's so heartbreaking but so fckin good :(Now, onto the fairly confusing final episode,
"Felt the ending was rushed.... Not sure what happened in those missing 7 years... Why did the criminals got away with so little punishment.. Why Ma Roo had to suffer and care for everyone... I am just happy he was able to get his love back... Good to see him being a doctor,the dream he had as a boy..
This is my interpretation of the last episode -
I think after the knife stabbing incident and his subsequent surgery,he might have left for US after 1-2 years of recovery. He had his skills but had lost his memory. After he returns,he starts practicing as a doctor and Eun Gi sets up a shop next to his clinic. She is always watching him and chasing him.. She seems familiar to him and he likes her being around... He might have found those rings in his closet laying around and felt an urge to give it her to express his feelings.... I think He develops fresh feelings for Eun hee and not because of his memories. While Eun Hee knows the past she just wants him to fall in love with her again.....
I still feel,they should have shown more as to what happened when he falls on the road... Who saves him and how he recovers.Did he really lost and found his memories or he just falls in love again without past baggage.I think the company is now being run by some professionals and Eun Hee is happy chasing Ma Roo around."
THANK GOD I CAME ACROSS THIS COMMENT, MY SLOW BRAIN WOULDN'T EASILY CONNECT THE DOTS OTHERWISE, SIGHH.
When Ma Roo collapsed from the stab wound in the middle of the street with no passing pedestrians, i thought he was gonna die LOL. I'm surprised they actually gave us a happy ending, no wonder in the opening footage of Ma Roo (in every episode), this was the only one where he actually smiled instead of cried. I really thought i saw it wrong.
I loved this drama so much, i actually thought the ending was appropriate though unexpected and that he finally was able to become a doctor at the end, i actually thought it was all in Eun Gi's dream. Wished they didn't jump 7 years into the future because some things were left unexplained.
However just like Hello Monster i don't take off points from the ending because i really have enjoyed every second of this.
AN OUTSTANDING DRAMA. SONG JOONG KI. SONG FCKIN JOONG KI. GOSH. I'M HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH YOUR ACTING WTF. YOU'RE INSANELY GOOD!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
P/s I wished they have a better poster for this. I almost pass this drama completely because to me the poster sucks LOL.

Disappointed
Horrible show. It was ridiculous, boring and really suffocating to watch. Although I started watching with great expectations, as I continued watching, I just wanted it to end as soon as possible. The main characters were pretty toxic which I don't have a problem with, but if the characters are to be created as toxic, it needs to be much more intimate than this. The dialogues were vulgar, silly and boring. There was no such thing as character development. The only reason I've kept watching is because I hate leaving things unfinished. Lee Sang-Yeob's acting and his character was the only good thing about this show.Was this review helpful to you?

School days of Korean drama
You may find my review headline weird of sort. This isn't a drama about school of any type or grade. However, for me the experience I got from watching this drama was the same I got when I watched School Days the anime.In fact, I stopped watching dramas for about a month after I finished this one. I skipped a lot toward the end as well and it still get on my nerves to this day. I came to this after I watched the Flower of Evil. Both of them has the same female lead which I liked after watching the Good Doctor. The actress there was so bright and gave me a good and warmth vibe. In Flower of Evil she showed lost of those great feeling. Even in this drama, I don't blame her or her character. I hated the love triangle and how the male lead kept hanging on the other witch. It was hard for me to keep watching while those two kept hanging out. That witch was the worst character I ever saw till this day, and that guy was so annoying to the extent where I skipped his other dramas besides Vincenzo.
I completed this drama with a broken heart not for what happened at end but for the huge amount of corruption of morals I experienced while watching it. It's indeed School Days of Korean Dramas.

Not Good Enough
Korean Drama " The Innocent Man " is a melodrama with a romantic twist.The main problem, however, of this drama is its characters. They weren't all annoying, but they were idiots or acting like idiots. Nothing of what happened should have happened if they were using their brains, for instance. And they kept acting without thinking and then pretending to be victims.
Other than that, the drama used any cheesy trop that ever existed in dramaland and to the biggest extend possible. And not in an enjoyable way. Therefore, the romance got tiring and unbelievable.
The performances, finally, were pretty good.
So, overall, two out of ten.

Best couple pairing ever in my drama history. There weren't any dull moments in this show. Definitely have to watch it again. The ost is pretty goot too if you are into the slow mood music. (loved it)

For me, it's important that a drama episode has an great ending, so i will be looking forward to the next episode. This drama does that VERY well. I just couldn't help but smile when the ending theme sound starts playing and i'm totally confused and have no idea what's going to happen next or what just happend.
This dramatic affect ends quickly tho, after 6 or 7 episodes the drama goes downhill, and il found myself thinking that the drama has lost it's identity. That it should have ended already. The rest of the show was basically a chore for me to watch.
Yes there are some shocking, cute and romantic surprises, but when i look back it's not worth watching.This show went from an ovarall 9 rating downhill to a 6.
Rewatch value is 1. Not 0 because the 1 is for the awesome ending theme in the first episodes ;p.
