The last taiwanese Drama I watched was Material Queen and it was lame and after I watched it my hype for taiwanese dramas was gone v.v. But then I read many positive comments about 'Someone like you'.
Furthermore, I like the storyline. But the story description is a little bit confusing, because he isn't blind at the beginning.

Story: A chaebol loses his eyesight and his lovely finacée in a car accident. After that he changed and because he feels he is at fault he refuses a surgery. He is complicated and have to hide his handicap in front of others. His best friend is searching for a new caretaker and so it comes, that a noisy woman gets the job. It seemed to be interesting because there are not many dramas with a chaebol who has an handicap. Normally, the chaebols are arrogant in dramas, but this drama has a male main Character who is hurt by his past and he is in deep mourning because of the big lost in his life.

Acting: I didn't know any of the actors before, but I am a fan of the two main actors. Mostly of Kingone Wang.
Kingone Wang acts a the chaebol who has a lovely family and loves his fiancée very much. I think he loves her more than his own life. I think it is very difficult when it comes to act as an handicapped person especially when it comes to blindness. Kingone Wang plays his role excellent. The cold man, who doesn't see happiness in his life anymore, but also a man who changed himself when he meet his new caretaker. I like him very much and in my opinion he is an wonderful actor.
Ren Lorene plays a double role, even though not for a long time. She plays the fiancée of Zhan Cheng who dies in a car accident and she plays the doppelganger Yu Xi. Yu Xi is a noisy woman, but I think she is very honest and emotional in her heart. But she is the opposite from Luohan (the fiancée). I am a bit mad, because she is very naive, when it comes to Li Boyan (played by Sean Lee) her boyfriend. Sean Lee acts as an cold and...idiotic villian (yes, I call him a villian), who makes me bad almost every episode.
Lei Nita acts as Ya Ti, the girl who gets Luo Hans heart. She feels like Luohan and her character is like her, too. But she isn't a typical second lead. You will know what I mean, when you watch it. Sadly I have the feeling she was more a supporting character than a main character, but maybe it is only my feeling.
Wei Lian (played by William Liao) is the best friend of Zhan Cheng who wants the best for his friend. He is the one who stands by his side all the time and wants tha most, that Zhan Cheng become happy again. He plays his role natural and very well.
In my opinion the supporting characters do a very good job, too.

Music: The Music is very nice, I think it suits the theme and also the characters. I like the opening song very much.

Overall: I will watch this drama again, but like I said before, I am a bit sad that the love triangle was different from what I understand when I hear the word. If this were a bit more in the drama, it would be get a 10 from me.

Honestly, I was excited as this drama was announced. I liked the story, so I was sure I would wach it when it aired, but then there was a changed in the storyline. I have to say that I don't know the webtoon, so I didn't know what I had to expect.

The story was great...at first. However, after it changed to a sageuk drama I dropped the drama. That was, when it aired. Now, a few days ago I wanted to watch a drama with less than 16 episodes, so I decided to end this drama. I skipped most of the historical scenes, because in my opinion it was too much. I mean, why did they go back to a long time ago? I didn't understand it. Well, maybe I didn't wanted to know it.

Honestly, the one and only reason I watched this after months until the end was Yeo Jingoo. I watched him in Warrior Baek Dongsoo, where he played the younger version of Dongsoo (later played by Ji Changwook). In that drama I loved his acting, so I wanted to watch this drama. He was the best Actor in this whole drama (in my opinion). But sadly he couldn't save it.
Seolhyun...She is a good dancer, but her acting is...not good (I could say awful, but I think it is too harsh). Normally, I don't expect much from Idols when it comes to acting, but I thought she would be better than Hyeri (In my opinion Hyeri is a better actress, after I watched her in Replay 1988). All in all I was not satisfied with her acting. In the end I shipped Jaemin with Ahra. Lee Jonghyun of CNBlue was okay, i think he has potential, although I liked him in Gentlemen's Dignity better. Gil Eunhye was better than Seolhyun, but she could have be better, too.

The music was good. It suits the theme and the storyline, but in my opionion it wasn't special v.v

Lastly, I haven't the desire to watch it again. If I would do it, I would watch the modern scenes with Yeo Jingoo, but no more v.v
However, I would recommend it unless you a big fan of one of the main actors.

Excellent Acting, Story okay after Rewatching

Sometimes, I think, I shouldn't rewatch dramas, because my rating changes after a rewatch very often.

The story was very funny at first. After re-watching the series in its entirety, I didn't find it quite as funny anymore. I don't know exactly why, but some scenes didn't seem so funny to me when I watched them again, even though I took my time rewatching them. I first saw the series while it was on air. It's been a while now. Meanwhile, I don't find the story bad, but in retrospect it's not enough for an 8.0. But this is my opinion.

For me, a good series consists of many aspects. In addition to the story, it is very important to me that the chemistry between the main characters is right. Both in terms of romance and friendship. Both are the case here and it has remained so even after looking again. The actors are excellent. Unfortunately, I can't say with certainty that it's the actors themselves. I started another series with the two main actors and stopped because I found the acting very bad there. But that's my own opinion too. In 2gether, I think both Win and Bright play their roles really, really well. Maybe it's because of the characters they play. There are a few things that bother me, but that has less to do with acting and more to do with the Boyslove series itself. I come from a country where there are still certain stereotypes. In the meantime, I've also noticed in Thailand that there are always series in which some stereotypes are taken up. This actually applies to many series from GMM.

The music of the series is good, but not overwhelming. But it fits this type of series.

Overall it is a very good Series, mostly because of the Acting and Chemistry between the Actors.

Story: The Story sounded very dramatic and I love melodramas. Almost every Episode of this drama is amazing and has suspense. This drama is not the typical 'Revenge' Drama like many others. It is about a detective who investigates a murder case which leads him to the discovering of his past. He discovers the real identity of his father and has to realize whose real son he is. Over the top he has a woman he loves but he can't show his feelings. Even though there are some Aspects I don't understand, the story is really well written. I mean, why don't remember both of the Eunjoongs, who they were as children? Amnesia? It seems to be a mystery.

Acting: I have to say, that this is one of the dramas, where I liked 99% of the Acting. It is one of the few dramas, where I changed my Mind about almost all of the characters. I want to start with the two Men, who have the same name.

Firstly, Kim Jaewon, who played Ha Eunjoong. HEJ is the detective who finds aut about is real family and the past of his 'father'. He is silent person who lovess his job. He knows who are his enemys. He loves his father and his younger sister. Kim Jaewon showed us a excellent performance. I felt with him and with his character and I loved him, but hated him, too. I think this performance was his best, even though I didn't watched all of his dramas.

Secondly, Ki Taeyoung, who played Jang Eunjoong. JEJ is the one who grew up as the Son, wo was abducted. KTY plays this character excellent. His Life is a rollercoaster. He followed his mother and became an Attorney who loves his mother dearly. Until he discovers the Truth. The sad Aspect is, that I wanted to hate him so much...but I pitied his character from the beginning til the end. I couldn't hate him. He was innocent. I mean he lived as another person, loved his family so much...and suddenly his life collapses... Yes, I think he was the saddest person in this drama. KTY did an amazing job.

The next amazing Acting comes from Shin Eunkyung. She was perfect in her Role as the mother who lost her beloved child and as the result she did something unforgivable. In my Opinion, it was a good deed, but her reason was selfish. She missed her real son every second of her Life. But she loved her 'fake' son very much. Like she used to say, she had two sons. When her real son was kidnapped, she gained another son. SEK is an excellent Actress. Her performance was extraordinary and her chemistry with her two sons was very good, too.

Jo Yoonhee as Woo Ahmi was okay. I liked her character more than the Acting. I am not a big fan of Jo Yoonhee, but she isn't on my Blacklist. Her Acting is not too bad...It's just okay.

Jo Jaehyun acted as the Man who abducted the son of his enemy. I know he did something you shouldn't forgive, but compared to the things Jang Taeha did, Ha Myunggeuns Sin was very small.

Park Sangmin acted as Jang Taeha, the enemy of almost all of the other Characters. He did a great job, too. His character was the only one I hated from the beginning til the end.

The supporting Actors like Han Groo or Kim Gyuri were great, too.

Music: The OST is one of the saddest and best I've ever listened to.
In Conclusion, the drama is one of the best melodrama I have ever seen.

I‘m not a robot was one of the dramas I have a love-hate relationship with. The Story was...and the Cast was amazing. But it was Yoo Seunghos first romantic Comedy, so I was happy^^.

Story: I like robots and I want a robot that does my homework, too. But sometimes the drama was too comedic for me. I am not a big fan of comedy dramas. I like romantic comedys but they must not be too exaggerate. And sometimes it was too much. The Drama follows a young rich Man who has an allergy which doesn‘t allows him to touch people. Although he seems to be very cold because of his illness, he has a warm heart who could break anytime.

Acting: The Acting was the best thing in this drama. I wouldn‘t have give it a 8,5/10 when it wasn‘t for the Actors. I am a big Fan of Yoo Seungho since I watched him in Warrior Baek Dongsoo, a few Years ago and he didn‘t disappoint me again. YSH is one of the best and talented young Actors and he is very experienced because of his child acting career. But he didn‘t acted in a rom-com before, so I was sceptical if he could so such a drama.
Chae Soobin is a talented young Actress who isn‘t as long as YSH in the business. But she is very good and her Acting as a robot (and a fake robot) was very nice to watch. Her Character was well written and her Acting was very strong even though she is young.
It was my second drama with Uhm Kijoon and compared to Defendant I didn‘t liked him in this one. But I think it was his role, because his character was the weakest out of the three Main Characters.
The Chemistry between YSH and CSB was very good abd I was a little sad because of the weak rating in South Korea. But after I thought a little bit about it, I think the rating should not be the most important reason to watch a drama.

Music: The Soundtrack was okay, some Songs are nice to listen to, but the Songs aren‘t in my Playlist.

I don‘t know if I will watch this again, maybe because of the Acting...

I was not Disappointed watching this

First of all, I have to say that I haven't read the novel, so I was able to enter the series with a completely unbiased mind. Due to time constraints, I started the series later. In addition, I hesitated because I read quite a lot of negative comments here. But since I'm one of those people who prefer to make up my own mind, I finally started the series and wasn't disappointed. I'll admit it's not the best series GMM has produced, but that doesn't surprise me.
I agree that showing Enchante right after Bad Buddy wasn't a good idea for GMM. I can deal with it myself and don't compare series with each other. That's probably because I'm used to Korean dramas quickly switching series.

I didn't go into the series with high expectations myself. I only do that when I'm pretty sure I won't be disappointed. And so I couldn't be too disappointed.

The story is basically very interesting and when I saw the teaser back then, that was the reason why I wanted to see it. But I also think that the story and the development was the weakest part of the series. More could have been made of it.

The actors were a big surprise for me. I won't say much about Fluke Gawin because I expected him to do a very good job, which I got. Fluke Pusit also played his role very well, although he's relatively new if I'm not mistaken. Boom and Aou weren't bad, but I didn't remember them that way. Maybe it was because of the characters they played.
I think Force was very good in his role. I can't really understand the criticism because I really liked his direction in the series. Maybe that's because I haven't read the novel. Incidentally, that's one of the reasons I never read a novel first and then watch the series. You can actually only be disappointed, if only because you get an idea while reading.
That's why I can actually only speak of the series and the performance of the actors, and in my opinion it was really, really, really good (for Force). I took his role from him and that is always very important to me.
To Book: Hm, I don't think he can't act, but maybe the role wasn't that good for him. I have to admit that I don't really like the role of Theo. I think he thinks about himself a little too much.
Spoilers: I mean, I can understand that he's sad about his parents' split, but as a student he should be mature enough to accept the decision. Also, I think he's also selfish going to France. What did he expect? That Akk, who already doesn't have much self-esteem when it comes to his relationship with Theo, is holding him back? If I had been Akk, I wouldn't have done that either.
Akk's sisters also brought the humor to the show. Above all, I really liked Egg.

I also really like the music in the series. I'm a fan of ballads and sentimental music, and I found that the background music always suited each scene.

Ultimately, I can only recommend everyone to watch the series, maybe you should wait a bit until Bad Buddy has been erased from your brain. The series just had a bad standing because it was released right after one of the best boys love series ever.
I can also only advise everyone not to compare the actors with Ohm and Nanon. Of course they are worlds apart, but Ohm also started out small. And if I'm not mistaken, he also started with a leading role^^.

So I recommend the series for those who would like to see a funny, best friend turned lovers series and maybe don't necessarily want to compare it to Bad Buddy. If you want to enjoy the series, I can only give you one piece of advice.

Everything else is up to you.

In one sentence I would say, that 'Remember - War of the Son' is a drama that is a nerve wrecking series in which you will feel drepresses but also angry. But the drama is it worth.

Story: A young Man with a perfect memory want to take revenge for his father, who was accused of a murder he didn't commit. The Son (Yoo Seungho) wants to take down the real culprit and fights against the injustice and against the people in Korea who have the money to change the law. But in this fight he shows symptoms of alzheimers, so that he can loose his perfect memory. I could write much more, but than there would be spoilers. The Revenge is the main point in the drama, the romantic stroy is not so important, but I like it how it is.

Actors: This was my first drama after Yoo Seungho was discharged from his military service. I was shocked when he enlistet in 2013 and didn't know what to do, because he is one of my favourite Actors. So I had high expectations of the drama and his acting. As always he didn't disappoint me. I think it is very hard to act as someone who looses his memory, but have to find evidences to provide the innocence of the own father. Yoo Seungho plays the role of a lawyer with a perfect memory excellent. His strong will to win over the villian is so natural that I am in love with his acting more and more. I think is matured more after he was in the military, although I know that he seemd to be older than he actually is even before his enlistment. I am very proud of him and I am excitet what his next project will be.
Park Minyoung is one of my favourite Actresses, too. At first I was sceptical because of the chemistry between Minyoung and Seungho. I think her chemistry with Ji Changwook in Healer was better, but with Seungho wasn't bad at all. Minyoung played a law student who becomes a very good friend of Jinwoo. When she becomes a prosecuter and when she realizes that she is on the 'wrong site' (I don't know if I can say that) she decides to help Jinwoo.
Park Sunwoong plays a lawyer who is a little bit...strange. Until the end I don't know what I should think of him. But his acting is excellent. Sometimes I wanted to hug him, but than I wanted to punch him...seriously v.v.
Nam Goongmin...I didn't watch him in the drama 'Girl who sees smells', but I heard very much good related to his acting skills. He plays the son of a rich family and he was one of the characters I wanted to punch nearly every episode v.v. He made me furious and that shows me how good his acting is. After this drama I want to see him in a romantic melodrama^^.
Jeong Hyesung played Goongmins younger sister but I didn't know why she was there o.o. Maybe it is only me, but was she really a main character? My feelings says me, she was a supporting character, but...okay. Her acting was good, but I liked her more in pride & Prejudice.
The supporting characters were all okay, but Kim Jinwoo was one of the best. I hope he gets more roles like the role of a judge. He would be my favourite ship with Minyoung (when there wasn't Seungho^^).

Music: The best OST is Jooyoungs 'Can you hear me'. In my opinion it sweets most of the scenes and is played in situations which need it. But I like the other songs as well.

Rewatch value:
Yes, of course. When my 'plan to watch'-list isn't so long anymore^^. Or when I miss Seungho like crazy :).
I don't know why so many people dropped this, but I recommend the drama.
But you should aware of the fact, that this drama isn't a romance drama. It is a revenge, law and crime drama. If you want more romance in a drama than you should be clear about that fact.

I thought a very long time about if I should watch this drama or not. And now I have to say I shouldn't have watch it. Not because it was bad but because I have a problem know. The drama results in a special interest in some of the Actors (especially one of them).

Story: After I have watched most of Kim Eunsooks dramas I was excited when Goblin was first announced. But then there was the casting. Although I liked the story from the beginning I didn't know If I should watch the drama. But then I read many positive about it and so I gave it a chance. The Story is about a goblin, but I was more interested in the story about the Grim Reaper. I love Grim Reapers. I don't know why but every time I think about fantasy stories, I think about the grim Reaper o.o.

Acting/Cast: When I heart of the Cast I wasn't very excited to watch Goblin. I will begin with Kim Goeun. I didn't know her very well, but I used to watch Cheese in the trap and dropped it after one episode, because of Kim Goeun. I don't know if it was her character or her acting, but I couldn't stand it. So her casting wasn't a reason for me to watch the drama. But in the End I have to admit that she is a very good actress. Her Character is one of those who grow from episode to episode. At first I didn't like her Euntak, but after a few episode I liked her. Kim Goeun plays the role very emotional and the role was sure very hard to play. But she made the best of it.
The last drama of Gong Yoo I have watched was Big...And I dropped it after a few episodes. It wasn't because of him but because of the story and the female lead. But he wasn't so good, that I've watched it for him. The role of an over 900 year old goblin who is tired to live but has no other choice suits him very well. The big age gap between Kim Goeun and him doesn't annoy. He doesn't look like his age and his character who sometimes can be cute and childish is funny and gives fresh wind. Gong Yoo is a very great Actor and I hope his future roles will suit him as well as this one.
Next up is Yoo Inna. I watched Queen Inhyun's Man and a little bit of One more Happy Ending. The first was very good, the latter was bad, so I dropped it. In Goblin she plays a Chicken restaurant owner. She remembered me a little bit of her role in Queen Inhyun's Man. Maybe I liked her role because of this so much. Her Scenes with Lee Dongwook were so intensive and the chemistry was the best. Her Acting is amazing in this drama, the most in the second half of the Drama.
Now I come to my favourite character and Actor in the whole Drama. Lee Dongwook...I watched him first in one of my first K-Dramas (My Girl) where I liked him (but there was also Lee Junki v.v). Then there was Scent of a woman, where he broke my heart into pieces because his acting was perfect. After that drama I lost him out of my eyes. I began this drama because I wanted to see him again, but I thought he would be the second Lead. Kim Eunsook is wonderful. After Descendants of the Sun, a second time she spares us with a second lead syndrome. Thank you so much! Lee Dongwook acts as a Grim Reaper who can't remember his past life. His Bromance with the Goblin is funny and excellent. The Chemistry between the two Actors is very very good. Lee Dongwooks acting skills in Goblin surpasses his skills in Scent of a Woman. I didn't know it would be poosible but the role of a Grim Reaper and his chemstry with Gong Yoo and of course Yoo Inna is amazing. I love this Oppa because he wakes up feelings. If he cries I want to cry, too. If he laughs, I want to laugh, too. But the most of the Time I wanted to give him a big hug.

Music: The Soundtrack is very good. I love the song Wish by Urban Zakapa the most. But Soyus OST is very good, too.

Rewatch value: Very high, but for now I want to watch Lee Dong wooks other dramas, I didn't watched.

First of all, I loved the previous School Drama (School 2013) very much. So I decided to try this drama, too. Now I think my decision was right.

Story:
I like stories like this, because there is Mystery, friendship and (not too much) romance. I liked the plot when the drama was announced the first time. Two Sisters who grow up with two different lifes and a situation which changed both of them. Yes, I liked it very much.

Acting/Cast:
Honestly, I didn't know most of the Actors and Actresses before I began this Drama, but the three main Actors (Kim Sohyun, Nam Joohyuk, Yook Sungjae) I have known before. I liked Kim Sohyuns acting very much. She played the twins very well. I think it is difficult to play two different characters, but she surely did a great job. Nam Joohyuk plays the role of Go Eunbyuls (KSH) chindhood friend Han Yi an, who is a talented swimmer at his school. I think the rols suits him more than his role in 'Surplus Mermaid' last year. Yook Sungjae plays the other male Leadrole. I liked is acting, although I was sceptical before. I know him as the Maknae and a Vocal from BroB, so I wasn't sure if his acting yould impress me. But I was surprised. He did a very good work.

Music:
The Music is nice. I love the Song "Reset" and I like the OST from Wendy (Red Velvet), too.

I would watch this drama after a few months again^^.

Amazing Acting, but too much James x Ait

First of All I wanted to give this a 9.0 Ranking, but after I watched the last episode I had to change it.

Story:
The Story is well written like the first Season. There a Times you want to fight Tee and there are Times you want to cry with Bas ( I wanted it almost every time he was on the Screen). But the drama has the potential to be better. Maybe it is because of the small number of Episodes. I am a little bit disappointed because after I finished Season 1 I thought in Season 2 the focus would be more on Marco and Bas, But it wasn't the Case after all. And the last Episode was a disappintment for me. I gave the Story a 8.5 because of the few Scenes of Marco and Bas were really Amazing. For me there was too much of James x Ait. The most frustrating Thing is, that there seemed to be too much of time differences between the Ending of Ep. 5 and Ep. 6. Event thoug the possibility is very low I hope for a season 3 with the full story of Marco and Bas, because it felt incomplete for me.

Acting:
First of all I have to say there is one Actor I was very schocked because of his amazing acting. All of the Actors did very well. But Michael, who played Bas, was the best out of All. Everytime he was on the Screen I was amazed by his skills. When he cried, I cried, too and my Heart felt really heavy. I hope he gets more Chances to show his scting skills, because he really is amazing. His Chemistry with Daniel was very Good and I hoped, they would get more Scenes in last Episode, but I was disappointed. I am very happy for Bas, who has a happy Ending. Together with Michael I think Daniel has very good Skills, too.
Time and Benz did really good Jobs, too, but they didn't stood out. I would say, Michael carried the series and together with Daniel it was more Amazing.

Music:
The Music was very good, not too noisy and it was played at the right Moments.

Rewatch Value:
Honestly I think I will be rewatching only the Scnes with Bas and the one with Bas and Marco. But most of the Scenes are with James and Ait and I will be honest. There storyline in Season too was not very interesting for me.

All in All it was a great drama with some disappointments for me. The Most Amazing and rescue of my rating is Michaels Acting and the Story between Marco and Bas.

At first I watched this Drama, because I didn't want to watch the "on air" Dramas. It's not that I don't like the current Dramas, but after a few weeks of learning for an exam I wanted to finish a drama quickly. So I decided to watch "Autumn's Tale". I finished it after one weekend and I am very glad I watched it.
Since DotS I thought no other Drama can touch me more. ... Okay, know I know it better^^.

Story: I LOVE melodramas. So I thought the Story would be interesting. I know this Drama is from 2000. I thought "Oh it's so old, I don't wanna watch it...okay, maybe it is interesting to see how was Korea in 2000". The Story sounds ... can I say simple? Two people who believe they are brother and sister, but than they have to face the truth, that they are not blood related. Then they loose the contact with each other and years later, they meet again.. I was very excited to see the reaction of the two of them.

Acting: The Acting... Hm, yeah. I think when it comes to melodramas Song Hyekyo is the best actress I've ever seen. Since her Acting in WTWB and DotS, she is my favourite Actress. Now I know why...People can say about her what they want (in relation to her tax scandal) but when it comes to acting, I think she is one of the best. SHK acts as Yoon Eunsuh who lives with parents and a brother until she gets to know that she isn't the daughter of the Yoon-Family. SHK was 19 years old when sie did this drama... She did a wonderful job. When she was crying, I cried, too. When sie was laughing, I laughed, too. But honestly It didn't surprised me very much, because I knew before, how a great actress she is. The big surprise was Song Seungheon. I watched "My Princess" before and thought he is a good actor but not more...After "Autumn's Tale" I love him. He was so emotional. He cried so hard and...I didn't want to see it.
In my opinion the best Actors and actresses are those, who make you cry with them...laugh with them...hate with them... . And he did it. He played the big Brother who loves his sister very much. He would do anything for her, so when they are forced to go different ways, it breaks his heart (and mine, too). The emotions he delivered with his acting were brilliant.
But...now I come to the biggest surprise...Many people may not understand, but before I watched AT I haven't watched a drama or movie with Won Bin (except "Botherhood", but when I watched the movie my focus was on other things). I thought Won Bin was one of those Actors like Lee Minho. Please don't misunderstand me, I like Lee Minho but I think he is a little bit overrated. So I thought Won Bin was very attractive (and he is!) and a ... average actor...But he isn't. He is brilliant. He acts as Han Taesuk, the best friend of Joonsu and a playboy. Honestly, at first I didn't liked Taesuk, but in the End, he was the character I pitied the most. His character changes the most and after a few episodes I pities him so much I wanted to drop the drama. Whenever he was on the screen I cried. Won Bin delivered the feelings and emotions of Taesuk so real that I thought he IS Taesuk. Know I now why Korean love him so much.
The other characters and Actors/Actresses were good, but for me not very memorable.

Music: I love the OST. The Song I love the most is Prayer by Jong Il Young. I don't know her, but the song suits the drama the best. So I recommend it to you (If you like Ballads).

Rewatching Value: I will watch it again, definitly.

All in All: I love the Drama. It is the best Drama I have ever seen. So I recommend it to you very much...BUT if you don't like a sad drama or you don't want to cry much, then you shouldn't watch it. This drama isn't a comedy, but a heartbreaking romantic melodrama. I don't know if there is drama, which is similar and newer...so I can't give you a hint...

i know the drama is old, but I am sure there are people like me who don't know if they shpuld watch an old drama, so I think it is never too late for a review^__^.

In my opinion this drama has one main Theme "How much can we hurt the second male lead". I didn't read the Original Manga but I watched the japanese version in which I liked the story but not the Acting. The Korean version is the opposite. The drama is boring. 16 Episodes are too much. i think it would have been better when there were only 12 Episodes. So the story was lame...But maybe my expectations were too high for the drama because I was very excited for the cast.

The best was the Acting and the chemistry between the bandmembers. When Lee Hyunwoo was cast I was like "Please give him a good leading lady" because he hasn't much luck with his partners. Then there were the news that Joy from Red Velvet would join...I don't have a problem with idols acting, but I don't approve of them when there first ever role is the main role. So I had very high expectations...I mean the production staff must have a good reason for casting her as Soorim and not as a supporting Actress...Honestly, she was okay. Not very good but not bad either. Lee Hyunwoo was good (like every time even though the story is bad). I hope he gets a better script next time. I think the role doesn't suit him so I don't have much to say about him. But his chemistry with Joy was...bad or should I say there wasn't any chemistry between them?
There are two other Actors I want to talk about because they were amazing in their roles. One of them is Lee Seowon. I love him since I first saw him in Uncontrollably Fond as Suzys little brother. His role here is very sad, dramatic and lonely. Chanyoung joined Crude play when Hangyeol (LHW) left to produce their music. Over the years he felt never like he was accepted by the other members. He thinks he is a substitute for Hangyeol and has bad feelings about him. He wants to be better. In my opnion he isn't the typical second lead who is mean to his rival because of the girl both of them love. I pitied him from episode one until the end. Lee Seowon played so amazing. He is one of two reasons why I could watch this drama until the end.
The Second reason is Kim Sungjoo. He is the main vocal and korean Leader of the Boygroup Uniq who debuted 3 years ago. He plays Yoo Shihyun, the leader and Vocal od Crude Play, who is funny and loves his members very much. Sometimes he seems like a playboy but in reality he is hurt because there is one girl he loves for a long time. Sadly, his role gets not much attention. His Chemistry with Lee Seowon and the others is very good. Even though his Screen time together with Lee Haeun (who played his sunbae from high school Sooyun) isn't very much the chemistry between them is very good and i wished that couple would get an extra drama v.v The last few episodes I pitied him a lot. He was so sad and I wanted to hug him. Like Lee Seowon he acted very good for a rookie. I think he has main lead potenzial and is one of the few Idols who can really act.

The Music was good, even though I don't liked the songs by Joy. I don't know why, maybe it is because i don't like her voice v.v. But the Songs by Crude Play are very good. Sungjoo has a very good voice. I am sure he could sing more OST...

I would recommend the drama for hardcore Red Velvet Fans and for people who doesn't care about the story but about the Acting.
