This drama got me out of my drama slump... Exciting enough to keep me entertained but yet not so deep that you have to keep attention to all the conversations. Now, to the lead roles, Lee Joon Gi, portrayed this full of angst, hurt and vengeful lawyer who has fighting skills - he was just a tad bit "thin" for this character - nothing wrong with him, just a comment. Seo Ye Ji has this "grin" that she always makes that it is borderline irritating - if this was 20 or more episodes - I will not take it anymore. Choi Min Soo, well, he as a great villain, down to the mannerism, and his demeanor - he suited the role.
I like how there was romance but it wasn't the main theme, and they acted their age - none of this bashful kissing like high schoolers.
The ending for me was little bit over-dramatic (I mean the wrapping up, unveiling - all happen in the villain's court). Almost too perfect... It was nice to wrap it up happily but it kind lack the depth to it... It turned into a light-hearted drama in the last few minutes of the last episode.

I wish I did not waste my time watching it. I feel angry at myself because it was just a really mash up of the following dramas: You're Beautiful, The Mermaid drama (can't remember the title), Coffee Prince... It was just shallow and cheesy... and even though You're beautiful is old, I think I prefer that better. The 2 men were eye candy, but the plot, the flow, was just really mediocre. Sooooo, watch at your own risk... The drama starts with a minute and half intro and ends with a 2 minute end clips. So really this should have been 5 episodes. This drama kept my eyes rolling, haha. I was hoping it will get better. I think it just played/tickled with your emotions but that's it.

I do not understand the very LOW rating. I have seen worse dramas. It was over all okay, entertaining, just don't think logically (well it is has a theme of fantasy). I have to admit, it did kept me on my toes. This was a good break from RomCom dramas which was getting so ho hum. The antagonist is just pure evil. Okay, now the part that I did not like, the actress, this was just too difficult for her to portray. It was just lack luster. If they have lengthen the drama, I would have probably dropped it. It was getting too difficult to watch her acting...

The secret to watching this drama is taking a break, don't let this consume your life, just for leisure. The ending could have been better and could have explained more of what happened. Yes, there are plot holes but it was watchable for me.

It is not the best drama out there but it did keep me on my toes. The twist in the plot was very surprising. However, the music became so tiresome because they used the same music at almost every episode if I am not mistaken. The lead actor, Kim Jae Won's nose really bothered me -- it looks like Michael Jackson and does not look natural at all or proportioned to his face (but with a country that plastic surgery is just like going to a mall, I guess some people found it cute?!?). I know, it is lame, I almost couldn't finish it because of that. Other than that, I read that some people actually found him "cute" so I guess it is just me...

Romantic and Sweet. It has soooo many sweet moments that just makes your heart flutter! Of course, the lead actor is just too adorable (I like him in his other drama where he was a prince - Love in the Moonlight ) but at the same time he can act!!! When he cries, you just want to give him a hug and it just pains you to watch him go through it. There was some slow moments but not that bad. I also appreciated the supportive and loving friends and family that the lead male role had (healthy family relationship for once in a Kdrama!!!) Overall, the story was not extraordinary, the selling point is that their honest, sweet, vulnerable moments that captures your heart! So YES, watch it if you like this genre.

6.5 yes, it was all nice and cute until well, it is too much out there. I watch dramas because it can be "way out there" in terms of reality but I think this is where I draw the line. The robot was just well a robot. The humanistic side in me kicks in and just could not accept the fact that she preferred the robot, for me that is kinda sick. Sorry, the ending lowered my rating very much. I just wish they brought more healing in the human Sin's character because it was as if he was just left hanging and did not have a proper character development. Anyway, the lead actor was very convincing in his "robot" acting skills and not to mention he is an eye candy....

Ep. 12 - it is beginning to drag...  this show you can watch with one eye close, it means you don't really have to pay  attention to what they are saying because the plot is so simple, some scenes are beginning to be corni and him being good two shoes and having a solution all the time.  It is not the type of drama that will keep you on your toes.  Side note: I cannot stand his curly hair in the first few episodes and i cannot stand the nose of the 2 leading ladies - CSB & GWH  it is both too fake (reminds me of Michael Jackson).  It is now beginning to be a chore to watch.

This is was a slow watch for me... this is a like "Mission Impossible" drama but with subtle hint of comedy. It was borderline hitting the "what?!" - because it portrayed the mission serious and then the comedy kicks in and it is like -- what kind of drama is this and somehow it does not really mix and did not blend well. The acting of Park Hae Jin and Park Sung Woong was great, I think this is more of a plot issue. They wanted to make the serious agent have a comedian side which did not really blended well (not because of the acting) more of what are they trying to present in the drama.
What made it harder to watch is the leading lady Kim Min Jung - there is just something about her that is annoying like Choi Kang Hee (that's why I could not finish the Queen of Mystery). This is just a matter of personal preference.

Cinematography - 10
Acting - 9
Plot - 8
The first episode was impressive -- the director was able to cover a large time frame and maintain the continuity of the story. That episode set the stage for the drama. Now, mind you, they are actors and adults, the couples' age gap should not deter your judgement of watching a spectacular drama. The actors/actresses were all amazing, I mean you can just really feel the sadness, the distress, the sorrow and then the sweetness (that does not go overboard to childishness), the happiness, the camaraderie...
Add to this, this was a great comeback of Gong Yoo to drama land and when he had his sad moments in teh drama you just want to tell him to not be sad because his face just makes you "aawww, don't be sad...".
