The storyline was off the chain unbroken! Choi Jin Hyuk, this South Korean actor is tall and very handsome. I loved him Family Gu as well. Jo Dong Hyuk, Jung Hye In, and Park Sun Ho I would love to see all 4 actors in a continual story. I loved all four and I feel have a great connection to make a team in fighting corruption in another Kdrama. All the actors/actress is awesome in this storyline. BUT, Park Sung Woong is also in The King -Eternal Monarch, he sure is busy playing someone evil... the only thing his character in Rugal and The King are similar. Why is that? I really enjoyed it. I will be rewatching this drama with not having to wait for two episodes at a time per week. Aww, it looks there is going to be a Part 2... ding ding ding ding!

Initially, I found myself a bit puzzled by the storyline, prompting me to pause and backtrack to Episode 2 for clarity. Without revealing any spoilers, I must say, it's a series that truly demands to truly focus on the storyline. Ju JingYi delivered a performance that navigated through complexities effortlessly, portraying a role that could easily befuddled. On the other hand, the lead male actor left me indifferent; historically typecast as a villain, Liu Xue Yi surprised me with his adept portrayal of this character. His convincing performance left me eager to see more of him in virtuous roles. The supporting cast, including Li Gi Yang and W Jia Yi, impeccably brought their characters to life. Special mention must go to the writer for skillfully withholding the villain's identity until the final few episodes. Overall, a job well done to the entire crew.

Doggy Dog World

Cha Eun Woo, a young and exceptionally handsome K-pop idol, proved his acting prowess in this engaging drama. I was charmed by his character, especially the humor derived from his fear of dogs, a sentiment I could relate to, particularly when it comes to large dogs. His portrayal resonated with me, showcasing a side I never expected from him. The authenticity of his acting, especially during the kissing scenes, left a lasting impression. While it was acting, the chemistry felt remarkably genuine.

Park Gyu Young, although cute and commendable in her performance, seemed to lack complete chemistry with Cha Eun Woo, leaving a slight gap in their connection for me.

The adorable dogs added a delightful touch to the narrative, with one support actor delivering convincing barking sounds. The overall set and storyline were praiseworthy. My gratitude extends to the cast, writers, and producers for their contributions to making this KDrama an enjoyable experience.

The actors and actresses all did well in this drama. I just had a problem with the storyline. I don't know where the writers got their idea to write this script. I mean the main lead, Song Hye Kyo character Dong Eun was very cunning and slick to avenge her family's murder. That part of the storyline I did like. The part that bothered me was that the police didn't believe anything she said when that murder happened. It reminded me of the Law Enforcement officers in the United States, most don't believe what the Black and Brown people have to say. I learned that through experience. In the storyline, if the investigating officers believed her as a victim, she wouldn't have gone through all the sneaky and cunning ways to get revenge. The writers did a great job in writing Dong Eun's schemes. What I did get out of this storyline is a Mother will do anything for her children. I loved the house of Choi Kang Ho played by Lee Do Hyung.

Kang Daniel (Wi Seung Hyun) being that this was his first drama, was really good. I heard about him on Twitter since he is a former KPop Wanna One member. I love his solo songs and I really hope that this will not be the last Kdrama he does. Chae Soo Bin (Go Eun Gang) also did pretty well in this drama. It was kind of goofy in the beginning, but the writers put some serious business in the storyline. It has some humor in it. Although this is a police drama, and I really don’t like police dramas or movies, this was okay. The visuals were good, and the costumes, well, look policy, lol. I must say there was a lot of action for these students. Of course, there is always one person who decides to run things in the storyline so that made it extra. I hate women abusers!

The fantasy was great in this drama. Kim Jung Hyun (KKok Du), I like this actor, and has a beautiful smile. His role had to be kind of hard to perform playing a Deity. Death no doubt! He played his role and made his death character a little humorous and he is handsome. I became emotional watching this drama. Im Soo Hyang (Seol H), who fell in love with this Deity. She played her part very well and felt that both she and Kim Jung Hyun had good chemistry. I don’t know if this would be a rewatch for me because this subject is hard for me as I have lost several members of my family. I guess this is why I cried because this is the type of death I wish we had. There is a twist to the ending, I hope you enjoy it.

OMGoodness this was so sad. Does this job really exist in South Korea? I mean this brings awareness of what a person goes through when they pass and all the things that might be important to them. Lee Je Hoon who plays the character of Cho Sang Gu did very well. This is a hard part to play and the way he performed this character is very believable. In the Drama, they mentioned that Cho Sang Gu has Asperger's syndrome and the description says Autism. There is a difference between both diseases. I have two grandsons with Autism. Tang Jun Sang who played Han Geu Roo, I loved his role as uncle and how the uncle was defiant in the beginning and learned by the end of the story. Hong Seung Hee who played the cousin of Cho Sang Gu was adorable as Yoon Na Mu. I loved her character. Thanking all the writers, directors, producers, and supporting actors/actresses. I know it was hard to play someone who was deceased. I was really happy to Lee Jae Wook played someone who died. A lot of deaths throughout the story but a nice ending. Thank you.

I am beginning to like these present-day dramas. I hope there are more like this one. A perfect ending. This is like a detective investigating the type of drama but without detectives or investigators. Li Mo Zhi (Shen Man Ning), at first seem like she didn't fit into the character played. She grew on me, then she became believable. But she did well in Renascence. Fan Zhi Xin (Yan Yi), did very well. I wished they would give him more leads but he is still young so I will keep my fingers crossed. His voice tones are smooth like silk. I loved how they had some martial art fighting. I hope to see more of both the main leads. The wardrobes were cute! I loved the ocean scenes! Thank you to all the other actors/actresses, writers, producers, directors, and staff. BTW this was a modern-type historical drama!

This was really good. I enjoyed the mystery and humor of it and I did laugh at some parts and cried in other episodes.
Namkoong Min (Chun Ji Hoon) This actor is crazy good, he can be serious one minute, be a comedian the next, and be emotional with tears. His character in this drama is crazy and very intelligent. I love the way he plays a lawyer. Kim Ji Eun (Baek Ma Ri) very well playing a trainee to be a lawyer. Thanking all the other actors and actresses because, without their part in this drama, it wouldn't have gone as far as it did. The only thing I had a problem with is when the fianceé was murdered. It shifted like some episodes were missing. It only went to 12... and usually, these dramas go to 16. I'm wondering what happened. oh well. It is good to watch for those who like Attorney dramas.

The storyline was okay, it was different. All the actors and actresses did their best. I loved Ding Wei the best and he was only the supporting actor that did awesomely with his role-playing of Jie Ke. The story was just unreal to me. I felt like I was in a coma. The ending was okay... The actress did very well playing a spoiled brat which I didn't like. But the lead main actress, I know that she does better. I would've rated it a little lower but I would be disrespecting the whole team. They did their best. Others may like this but I just couldn't grasp at the storyline.

I did like the storyline until it got to the last episode, it was like they didn't finish the storyline. Or they were thinking of creating a part 2. I don't find part 2 of this story. Yoon Shi Yoon (Lee Hwi) and Jin Se Yeon (Sung Ja Hyun) played their characters very well. I loved how the character Lee Hwi loved his person! YSY made this part his own. Excellent job! Joo Sang Wook (Lee Kang) was very believable playing the possessive Prince. This Prince was just too evil to sit on the throne. I mean seriously were the men in the historical days that jealous of their siblings? wow. The costumes were the usual of what I have seen in other dramas. There was only enough action.

I wanted to see the drama where Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun met but honestly it looked like they were close before this drama. Who knows. I was glad that I was able to watch it. Storyline I loved but there were parts that I could look at. Lawyer dramas are becoming the same type of story. You have lawyers and you have court cases. Ji Chang Wook, I love how they kept his Ji Wook name in the storyline. I so love his personality, it comes out on the screen. My first time watching Nam Ji Hyun perform. I love the perky side of her. Nam Ji Hyun's performance was excellent. Choi Tae Joon is really handsome. I am going to see what other dramas he plays in. He also performed well. 3% martial art if that, but NJH managed to get a couple of scenes. Dong Ha did great playing someone evil, it kind of scared me. Thanking everyone for a job well done.

This would have been a great watch but there were a few episodes toward the end that only played the audio. For some reason, the video was scrambled. I loved the storyline and I hope they fix those episodes. A lot of treachery among the female cast and one of the main characters. Xing Fei who played Lu An Ran did pretty well with her character. She was the first main lead so that told me the story surrounding her character. No competition among the men or the women's character but the women who went against the main lead played their jealousy very convincingly. Actor Zhai Zi Lu who played Mu Chuan loved how he kept his character in a calm state. If I was that character, I would have declared war. Jing Chao who played the character of Mu Ze, OMG I don't want to ever bump heads with him. He was too convincing. I want to thank all of those who had support roles in this drama. The team who was in charge of the filming didn't do well. It's a wonder China let this one air.

This topic is very sensitive to me.

I hate that I'm aging and knowing that this may happen to me, I know now my life span is cut short. I want to have a feeling of peace before it is time for me to leave this earth. Hospice in the United States is not the place that I ever want to be. Elders in Assisted Living and Hospice settings are mistreated. So when seeing this story regarding Hospice and Last wish made my heart turn a flip. The storyline starring Ji Chang Wook, I mean this actor, just made the character Yoon Kyeo Re his own. I love him! Actress Choi Soo Young, Actor Sung Dong Il, and Actress Won Ji An also made their character come to life in this story. Actress Won Ji An was something else and very believable. I'm glad they brought two types of awareness into this story which are aging and suicide. The gangster life is basic in this story, so be prepared.

This drama went so fast that I thought I was watching a movie. It was very cute and very emotional at the same time. I mean sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Giving up your child thinking he would have a better life is nonsensical to me. Not all children live happily or in a stable environment. Some are abused or murdered. Those children who find their parents always want to know why and when you find out why then yet those parents who kept their kids will either murder or abuse them. This story kind of brought somewhat a different atmosphere on why a child is given up. I'm glad this had a happy ending. Thank you to all the actors and actresses, screenwriters, and producers, who put this story to film.
