I wanted to give this a high rating because it did kept me on my toes and I just had this hatred with the antagonist in each episode - I mean they were unbelievably without conscience lets say. Yong Pal should not be the title of the drama since he did not "maintain" this role for long time in the drama.

It is just too much revenge for me that after I watched the whole drama, I felt like a dork, following all the evil plots after plots. This critic for me is the same for Innocent Man.

Acting: was awesome
Music: just right, my standard is, as long as it doesn't irritate my ears and it is not repetitive
Rewatch: Nope, its just too much vengeful spirit.

The ending was great, but they really saved it for the last.... If that did not happen, I will be extremely frustrated...

I would have rated this higher because the first 10 eps were great. And then they put so many sub-plots, which i fastforwarded. This is a differnt gender-bender, it gave me a bad taste in my mouth, because the drama made you think that everyone was alright with a guy - guy relationship. I like romance with boy and girl, boy knowing she's a girl but not misleading the viewers until the very end. It is just my standard.
Won't rewatch - too long
Music - i am not really ineterested

But the lead actor was great (swoon) - i would watch his other dramas- It is the first time i have seen him.

I semi-loved it. I dropped it at the beginning because the first episode was not catchy enough for me, so I gave it another chance and I began to "like" it. It is a love story, more of a dramatic love story... There is joy, anger and pain in this drama but as I watch this, I cannot help but like the college couple better. There is just something about the acting of the lead actress, Kim Sa Rang, that ruin it a tad bit... Her face has no expressions, no emotions, it is just a straight face, she was also kinda awkward in some romantic scenes. But the lead the actor Joo Jin Mo was a very good actor, he has emotions and he can translate it in his acting.

Some of the scenes, especially in the latter part, became kinda slow... the crying, well they cried and cried and cried...

In the latter part of the drama, where they were enjoying each others company, they acted a little childish, I mean they were adults already for goodness sake -- will adults really chase each other in circles and pretend to throw a stone?

The ending, was not so fulfilling. It was just lacking the intensity that the writers have built up. I wish they expounded more on the other relationships and how it has was resolved. So it is not a total love, just semi-love of the drama.

The beginning episode was not that catchy and was deceiving because it did not really kindle my interest to watch it further, so I dropped it for awhile. I tried it again and it does have a different and interesting twist in story. So it is worth watching because 1) the plot is unique and interesting 2) the music is not irritating and not repetitive 3) it is only 16 episodes 4) the actors/actresses did a very good job. My only qualm is the lead actor, nothing against him but I could barely see his eyes, it is just so squinty but his acting is superb. I do not understand him in the romantic aspect because he barely expresses it and if he does it was in a very awkward way. His brother in the story was superb, he acted the part well, he was torn within himself...

It was exciting to watch it at first, but after awhile it was just too much frustration after the other... If this was a romcom, I would actually "forgive" the unrealistic plot but this was a crime-suspense-love story so there must be a logic. For all that Kim Mu Yeol does - why he never goes to jail or why the girl (Lee Shi Young) detective is always alone in doing her job and why he is always the one to tag along.

The action fights were very well executed, Kim Mu Yeol, was flawless in his fights.

I just had very high expectations due to the high ratings. Later on the excitement in the beginning was not the same anymore, it just became unrealistic and the unprofessionalism of the lead detective was just too much for me because after all this is a Police Detective story. Cruel City is much better and the momentum was there.

There was never a dull moment in any episode. I think I even watched 6 episodes in one sitting. That is how good it was. I never knew who Ji Chang Wook was until I watched this drama, I was impressed with his acting and I love how he becomes the confident Healer. How the story unfolded was just right. It did not drag at all. The romance factor was realistic, none of this rich and poor girl/guy thing. It is a breath of fresh air from the other Korean dramas that I have seen. Now, this is worth watching, compared to that dumb Heirs that I just watched (yep I am still mad!).

It wasn't a "fulfilling" drama ta watch. I am kinda upset at myself for watching it. This drama was made to "sell" Lee Min Ho's popularity, this was more of a promotional choice, rather than being a decent drama. Story was dragging, this should have been 16 eps. But die-hard fans won't mind as it focuses on them being "eye candy". I am not a fan of the lead actress, her acting is the same in other dramas (always pathetic!). Over all this drama was a commercial drama, very little depth. And the music, man it was killing me! Also they do not look like High School students - more like college but not high school. Arghhhh! I wasted my time ????. Sooo I should have believed the LOW ratings.

I was ready to like it because of the high ratings, I have to give it a 7 because I finished it. It just did not give me that feeling of real enjoyment. There is something about the movement of the drama, some scenes were just too long, it could have been just a few seconds but it was minutes...also 1) the lead girl's voice is annoying -high pitched 2) the rap song was driving me crazy 3) there was so many flashbacks that this could have been just 16 episodes 4) it did become draggy 5) the ending was sooo long, his closure on his "personalities" was just too much. I love the brother, though. ;)
