This was a great family drama, I thoroughly enjoyed all the characters stories. It has a great balance of family drama, comedy, romance, and crazy "happenings" in every episode to keep you entertained and invested in the story. Every character is unique and charming in their own way - you'll love them, hate them or maybe even a little of both at times ;) I think it's a great family drama that everyone should watch - especially if you want to learn how to treat your family better. It teaches a good lesson on that point.

Cast: My favorite character was Dal Bong (Hyung Sik) I think he resembled his father in personality and traits the most - he was the most caring kid this guy had - even in his immaturity he was still pretty mature lol His character brings life to this drama with all his charm, cuteness, emotions, temper, awkwardness & that "fake laughter" of his that was so similar to his dads^^ Seol Woo the country bumpkin as I call her is my second favorite. Kang Shim & Tae Joo were the hilarious couple - man that guy can make lots of weird, crazy, strange ugly funny faces lol - but he was quite charming when he was serious <3 & KS can sure make a person cry :'( The Dad is my next favorite - his only fault - being a little too self-less. Then we have the cousin Young Sul - always looking for trouble might I say lol The rest are all on equal boats for me - I never really liked Kang Jae (the older brother) he was way too emotion-less and distant but there were a couple scenes where he made me cry. He's arrogant and I've never liked arrogant people - they rub me the wrong way... oh and Dal Bong's "friend" Eun Ho was a great part of the cast too, he really riles Dal Bong's feathers up and it was entertaining most of the time, a few times I got mad at him but that quickly dissipated every time :P

Music: On the Road by Choi Baek Ho, I Told You by Yozoh, Father's Youth by ? (I really like this song but I don't know the artist)

Re-watch Value: 9/10 I really enjoyed it and will re-watch it again someday.

I loved this drama from the very first episode and each episode continued to get better and better as it went on. One of the best dramas of the end of 2014-early 2015 - It will stay in my heart for a long long time <3 I highly recommend everyone to watch this - unless you have a different perspective on dramas then I do lol - I just wish the end was a little longer b/c I feel as if I missed some things or they didn't explain everything I wanted to be explained/revealed...the ending was a tad rushed but still really good.

The entire cast was daebak! We've got Healer/Bong Soo/Jeong Hoo who works as a night currier who takes on any job that pays well as long as it's not killing someone - a man who is tender, and can fight for his woman now that's what I'd call a HERO <3 This song by Bonnie Tyler fit's JCW's character to a T & PYM's need for him {*Where have all the good men gone..where's the street-wise hercules to fight the rising odds. Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?...I need a hero! I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night. He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight. I need a hero!...Someone just beyond my reach is someone reaching back for me...It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet! I need a hero!...I swear there is someone somewhere watching me...I can feel his approach...I need a hero!*} Chae Yeong Shin is one of my favorite female leads in dramaland so far! I loved her attitude and personality - it was awesome! She was strong, brave, funny & down to earth - The best character that Park Min Young has played so far! She was a small time reporter who had big dreams & when she meets Healer her life takes a path she never expected^^ ~It's a beautiful feeling~ <3 Kim Moon Ho a big time honest reporter and my second favorite male character on this drama <3 I'll be "stalking" him from now on^^ He is someone who really is at odds with his older brother & is determined to bring the truth to light. and then there is the ever so precious Ahjuma <3 I loved her to pieces! She was so frumpy, grumpy, silly and professional all at the same time - she's a character I won't ever forget <3 I even loved it when she'd occasionally throw a small temper fit in her room keke^^ & her random singing was goofy :P Everyone else did great in the roles they portrayed too ;) Myung Hee, Moon Sik & Yeong Jae 'Teacher' (I'd laugh whenever he'd smile while dissing someone) & Chae Yeong Shin's dad & the ahjussi that worked at the café were hilarious! :P

Music/OST: PERFECT - I was SO SO SO happy when I heard Michael Learns to Rock (MLTR) as the OST!!! I absolutely adore their music <3 Favorite song by them of course is 'Eternal Love' <3 Then the song by Ben 'You' & Ji Chang Wook's song 'I Will Protect You' <3 <those were my top 3 favorites but I also enjoyed Tei's song 'What My Eyes Say' - The OST is just so good on this drama!

Re-watch Value: No joke, I will be re-watching this drama VERY soon! ~oh my love, I'm all yours~ <3

I can't believe it's over already! I got so attached to all the characters that I'm finding it hard to pull away lol. I decided to watch this after finishing Road No.1 - and I'm glad I did. RN1 would be a story mixed in with the actual events, Comrades tells a story about the people involved in the war - I loved both of these dramas in slightly different ways - One thing they have in common (besides the same war) is the BROMANCE - I love bromance and I always look for it in dramas I watch. This drama will make you so attached to the characters you won't be able to pull yourself away. < It's that good. using someone else's words: *it depicts true brotherhood & friendship.

Story: Comrades shows you what it's like being in a war, what you can go through and experience, whether good or bad. The fear of death, the deaths around you, the friendships built and lost, learning the true meaning of what a soldier is, and never leaving a comrade behind. I like how this drama showed us not only the people from the South but also the ones from the North - how it showed that we are all people, and we all have feelings and people that care about us.

Cast: I fell in love with the cast! <3 Choi Soo Jong (Sergeant Lee) - One of the main reasons I decided to watch this drama, he was my favorite out of all the cast, his character was honorable, trustworthy, loyal, honest, sacrificial and fatherly - He really loved his 'boys' <3 Jung Tae Woo (Cheon Sungil) my 2nd favorite character - he was the soldier who didn't want to be a part of the war, he didn't want to kill and didn't want to be killed - he just wanted to go home and I just wanted to save him. I nicknamed him my puppy <3 He looks a lot like Choi Soo Jong - so much so that they could be father and son! I loved every single one of the comrades: Juyong, Taeksu, Beumwoo,& Il Kwon were my favorites but I also enjoyed the rest. Another actor that made me want to watch this drama was Lee Tae Ran (I became a fan of hers after watching Famous Princesses) - she has a sort of backstory love relationship with Sergeant Lee - I liked her in the beginning even if she was on the "bad side" but towards the end when she re-appeared I got really mad at her character - until a few minutes towards the end when I pitied her. > The cast did a wonderful job pulling the emotions out of me - I cry even just thinking about it lol

Music: Chinguyeo (Friends) by Kim Jang Hoon & the version sung by the cast were my favorites songs <3 I will Come Back by Insooni - I really started to feel this song during the later episodes of the drama. & Requiem for the Unknown Soldiers by Gloomy 30's - all the instrumental songs were perfect for it too.

Re-watch Value: 10/10 I want to re-watch it already - I'd definitely recommend anyone and everyone to watch this drama.

I plowed through this drama real fast, I was so into it and it captured my attention at every moment especially by episode 6+ The chemistry between the leads - especially the male leads So Ji Sub and Yoon Kye Sang, I loved seeing them go from rivals to best friends. This drama is a masterpiece for anyone who is interested in the Korean War (or if your a war drama/movie fan - I'm usually not if that's all its about, but this drama has so much to offer - it gives you romance, Bromance (strong binding bromance), friendship, loyalty, strength, hope, anguish, tears, action, sadness, happiness and any other thing you can think of). I had debated whether to give this drama a 9.5 or a pure 10, I didn't like a couple scenes involving the romances (a little sexual at times may I say?) but if I put that aside, the writers did a phenomenal job portraying the harsh reality of the Korean War. So in my book, this is a true masterpiece!

Story: About the first year of the Korean War, when it breaks out and everything during that year (with fictional stories ingrained into it). A man who has been in love with one woman all his life goes off to war and news is sent back of his death, so his woman gets engaged to another man, then her love returns unharmed from war and her fiancé feels betrayed, they show the two men go off to war again together and we see them go head to head several times as rivals in love who soon become brothers together in war. It's a beautiful story ?

Cast: Lee Jang Woo (So Ji Sub) (have you ever watched the movie 'The Princess Bride'? remember the theme song? - well that song kept ringing in my ears whenever I'd think about Jang Woo's love for Su Yeon - she was his everything - literally.) He was a true lover and a great and true soldier, he protected his men and did his best in everything to survive - his purpose? He HAD to stay alive for the woman he loved. Yes he was my favorite character ? Shin Tae Ho (Yoon Kye Sang) the second man for Su Yeon but cast aside by her love for Jang Woo, he challenges Jang Woo at every chance he gets but gradually we see him "fall" for Jang Woo's leadership, and they cherish each other like brothers. I liked the bromance much more than the romance (both played a big part in this drama). All the other soldiers did an amazing job playing their parts and I'd grow fond of them and cry for them. There are a couple people you'll hate at first and then like later on lol

Music: The OST was so beautiful, I loved each and every song!

Re-watch Value: I'll get around to re-watching this drama again someday :)

I personally liked it. I have only read chap.1 of the webtoon (b/c I am not someone who reads webtoons) before I started watching this drama, so I can't compare the two. But I thought the drama was made really well and the entire cast did a stellar job.

Story: About a man called Frost who due to an accident when young lost most of his emotions and had his hair turned white. He and his team of "buddies" solve cases dealing with psychology. Every episode deals with a different case - but there is one underlying case involving Frost that starts showing itself mid-way.

Cast: Dr.Frost (Song Chang Eui) This is the first drama I am recognizing him in and I think he did a great job, he's attractive even with the 'white' hair ;) His very rational and thought processing mind was very believable. I liked how I could see the puzzle pieces come together in his eyes. I wouldn't mind working for him myself^^. Yoon Seung Ah (Jung Eun Chae) First time I've seen this actress too, I liked her as the novice apprentice who has a totally different character than Frost - they worked well together. Cheon Sang Won (Choi Jung Woo) was great as the head professor. (I always enjoy seeing this actor in dramas). Song Sun (Lee Yoon Ji) at first I didn't like her b/c of her animosity towards Frost but about half-way in the drama, she stopped acting rude and was then pleasant to watch ;) Nam Tae Bong (Sung Ji Ru) I loved him as the Detective - always bringing new cases for Frost to help solve, he made the drama even better by being there. All the supporting and guest characters did a good job.

Music: It was good and suspenseful at times but I don't remember any actual songs.

Re-watch Value: 5.5 - If I get hungry for some psychological stuff again I may re-watch a couple episodes here and there.

This was originally set for 12 episodes and they cut it in half and only made 6 - but it's not like any of the stories are connected so I can't say that they rushed it or anything like that. Honestly if there were more than 6 episodes I don't think I could watch much more of this - It deals with so many different relationship problems and tries to find solutions for them - It was interesting but maybe a bit tiring too...They re-used the same cast for each episode and each episode told 2 different relationship issues - most of them were open ended (making us the viewers decide what the person would choose in the end). It made me think relationships are hard work and involve lots of trust....

The cast all did a pretty decent job portraying all sorts of characters, from goody-too-shoes to cheaters and everything in-between. When I watched the first episode I was a bit confused about the re-use of the same cast - so I thought it was a continuation of the first episode when I moved on to episode 2 but every episode is different.

If you want to explore different relationships and want something short to pass time - and especially if you want something you've probably never seen in drama-land - then you could give this a try - it's not my favorite drama out there b/c of these reasons - but it was a decent to watch once (for me personally I won't re-watch it - once was enough).

This review may contain spoilers
Ok my review may be very different from everyone else's....I wanted to start this drama for 2 reasons, 1 it's Full House (and I personally love the kversion) and 2 Mike D'Angelo was the lead guy (and I already liked him from his music w/his brother Golf and their drama that I watched way back in 2009 called 'Love Beyond Frontier'). There were several things however that I did not like on this version. But there also were a few episodes/scenes that I did enjoy.

The things I liked: The cute scenes - there were a few episodes and scenes that made me giggle and smile like an idiot b/c they were just so cute. I also liked how they would "explain" or "dig into" certain things that they kind of left vague on the kver. However there were a couple of things I wished they would have left alone. (I'll post a spoiler box below if you want to read it).

The things I didn't like: It was very draggy - this version could have easily been made into a 10 episode drama but they made it 20 with all the back stories, staring off into space for 2mins every time and flashbacks that would take up screen time (to me it was wasted screen time b/c I'd get so bored with it I'd skip it). The acting was also lacking compared to the Kversion, although Mike and Manaying were cute & good-looking they didn't have the acting abilities that Rain and Song Hye Kyo had. The acting was believable on the kver. but on the Thai ver. I could tell they were acting by script. (sometimes the cuteness would overshadow that fact but when there was no cuteness I could easily tell "cue" - "ok"...ectra... One of the reasons I found it so draggy and sometimes boring was b/c on the kversion a lot of things happened during the first 2 episodes and while watching this ver. the things that happened during 5 episodes are what took place in the first 2 of the kver. & by the time I got to the 9th episode it was like watching the 4th episode of the Kver. <that's one reason why it's so draggy.... To be honest I was bored a lot. Episodes 9-15 were the best the rest you can skip a lot and not miss a lot (especially if you've seen the kver and know what the basis is).

While the Kversion is more reality based the Thai version is more fantasy based. If I person actually went through things the characters go through and feel - then the Kversion is definitely how most people would react in SHK's shoes and since Rain was a "star" and "self-centered" I can see his actions are more palpable.

The second leads relationships with our main leads was definitely not as believable as it was on the kversion either - whether that's a good thing or bad thing IDK, but at least I didn't strongly dislike them like I did in the Kversion lol

Music: I liked 3 songs - although 1 song was played during most of the show (even though it was over-played I still liked it - it was by the leading actor Mike (and Aom)). Then there was the song on the last episode that I liked and a song by La Ong Fong Band "Secret Admiring" played once during the middle of the drama that I liked.

Re-watch Value: 2/10 - I won't re-watch this one. I will and have watched the Kversion one at least 4xs though.

Amazing writer (not surprised since it was the same writer from I Hear Your Voice). I loved watching this drama each and every week. It was never boring and all of the cast did a wonderful job.

Story: About a young group of reporters who during their training learn what a reporter is all about - are they willing to compromise just to keep their jobs or are they going to stick it out and become real reporters? They realize they can completely destroy people with just a few words - they learn and make mistakes and get back up again. And we also have the Pinocchio syndrome on her with In Ha (I loved the concept).

Cast: Ki Ha Myung/Choi Dal Po (Lee Jong Suk) He was perfect for this role, you could see him torn between love and hate, forgiveness and bitterness. I loved his relationship with his brother and his romance with In Ha, as well as his relationship with her family. Choi In Ha (Park Shin Hye) she was such a strong girl who had to be honest (and honestly I liked that) I hope she starts taking more roles like this, It really fits her. Ki Jae Myung (Yoon Gyun Sang) - the next rising star in kdrama-land I swear. I fell in love with this guy during this drama. He played his character extremely well, I totally felt with his character. He is really really good-looking too ;) (He was my screensaver on my computer for a long time lol). Seo Bum Jo (Kim Young Kwan) a mammas boy but with a heart, I liked his role on this drama. Yoon Yoo Rae (Lee Yoo Bi) one of the weirdest characters I've seen in awhile lol (she was a narcissist totally) but had a strange way of displaying it lol - she'd make me laugh and give her strange looks at the same time. Hwang Gyo Dong (Lee Pil Mo) The best leader in YGN - I loved him. I thought he was handsome too. The rest of the cast is great too.

Music: The music was very similar to the music from I Hear Your Voice, I believe the same singer sang a couple of songs too. That made me love the OST even more <3

Re-watch Value: 10 - I'll be by to watch this drama again someday ;) Overall, a very well put together drama - that deserves to get recognized.

Well, I would say I enjoyed "parts" of this drama that I found to be funny but there were way more "parts" that I found to be 'disgusting', 'annoying' and totally 'uninteresting'...I would suggest only watching this if you love comedy and not just 'comedy' but 'over-the-top' kind of comedy. It could definitely be funny and I laughed a LOT but there were so many other scenes that I didn't think of as "funny" that were supposed to be "funny". I don't consider the overuse of 'where-ever you are bathroom breaks' to be funny (it actually grossed me out) and I don't consider a guy pursuing a girl who acts like an idiot in the process to be "funny"...I also couldn't ship a certain love-line they were trying to pursue... (they had no chemistry or any real "progress" to make it real...) so those were some BIG downer's for me...

Story: a Male band who seemingly fails every time, decides to move to the country and make big bucks by growing cabbage to sell so they can make an album - we follow their 'adventures' as they go from 'city punks' to 'inexperienced & naïve farmers'.

Cast: Lee Min Ki (Lee Hong Ki) the leader of the band, I thought he was really irresponsible throughout most of the drama (I started this drama for him though...) but I didn't finish it for him. Kang Hyuk (Park Min Woo) *anyone else think this guy resembles Jo Sung Mo?* Anyways, he was my Favorite character (and I shipped his 'love-line' :'( ) He was the most 'real' character who didn't over-exaggerate many of his scenes. He was super cute on here, all those adorable faces he'd make were worth watching^^ Whether sad, happy, in love or being cute - he was my bias <3 Han Ki Joon (Kwak Dong Yun) *now I was surprised to find out this guy played the younger version of Kim Hyun Joong on Inspiring Generation - his character on here was SO different from his character on IG* - He was the funniest character - I had a lot of LOL moments with him (I especially loved his "hang-up" scene) hehe ;) Yoo Han Chul (Lee Shi Eon) the character I couldn't stand basically - he was fine when he was serious but he over-acted and honestly his character made me nauseous & really annoyed most of the time >_< Kang Yoon Hee (Lee Ha Nui) I honestly didn't care for her unless she was around Kang Hyuk - *now this may sound harsh* but I don't find her attractive and I hated her voice....(my own personal opinion) If they would have left out any romance with her character I could deal with it but...Park Sang Deuk (Suh Dong Won) I wish he wasn't a part of this drama - he was the most revolting (at first he was fine but somewhere towards the middle I started to skip all his scenes (he basically only did 3 things every time he appeared anyways >_<)...Kim Soon Boon (Oh Young Shil) I loved her character! she made me laugh every time she laughed as she'd run off! LOL (the rest of the cast I won't mention - they were either good or bad or any other kind)

Music: the sound effects were the best - as for music I really only remember Lee Hong Ki's songs...so it's nothing overly special to me...

Re-watch Value: None, It was fine to watch once, but I have no desire to see it again.

*I personally like 'normal' comedy not 'forced' comedy...& I think this drama had a lot of 'forced' comedy in it...

This was a pretty good drama all in all. I did skip around on this one though as I was not interested in the romance for this one, I was interested in the Father/Son relationship and it was enjoyable to see them go from enemies to frienemies to brotherhood and eventually Father & son bonding^^

Story: a 70yr old man gets a chance to re-live his youth and see what he did wrong in order to correct his mistakes, what he believed to be right all along may not have been right...He'll see things differently through his sons perspective & a girl he falls for (mind you I skipped their romance scenes).

Cast: Choi Dae Han (Lee Joon) - My favorite and the entire reason why I decided to watch this drama and the sole reason why I kept watching 'till the end ;) He was entertaining to watch from beginning to end. All his smiles were dazzling^^ I would have fallen for him in a heartbeat <3 Handsome and wounded - his mending is on the way - It was beautiful and touching to watch <3 His father considered him to be troublesome and untrustworthy - that is until he realizes why his son was living that way. Eun Ha Soo (Jang Nara) an employee who gets entangled with father & son. Choi Go Bong/Choi Shin Hyung (Shin Ha Kyung) - This is the first drama I've seen him in and I admit he's a good actor & his scenes with his son were adorable - He's the chairman that gets a second chance at life - we see him go from selfish to caring during the process of this drama.

Music: Hong Jin Young ft. Outsider: 'Give Me Back My Youth' -

Re-watch Value: 5/10 - I more than likely won't but if I get an urge to watch Lee Joon some more I might pop back in to re-watch his scenes^^

I liked it to a certain extent but I didn't love it. That might be b/c it too realistic which is honestly depressing and stressful. I did find a couple episodes in the middle a little boring and a quite a few of the regular "office" scenes were uninteresting to me but when they were outside the office or in the coffee break room, out to dinner/drinks or on trips - I enjoyed those scenes. Especially any scene involving Suk Yool^^ I'll probably forever think of this drama when I hear the word "Geu Rae" (translated "Yes" in Korean) & laugh to myself about it lol

Story: This drama centers around Sales people - (now I can't relate to them at all as I don't work in an office building or anything like that but while watching this drama I know that I never could or would even want to - way too stressful - I totally understand why they said they all walk around with a resignation paper in their pocket everyday - I would have quit on day 1!) I can't deal with that much stress in my life - Besides the fact that I personally would never be able to "sell" anything to anyone lol

Cast: Suk Yool - he was my favorite, he kept things lighthearted and interesting - he was a joy to have around, he's very entertaining^^ If not for him this drama wouldn't have been bearable to watch (for me anyways). Baek Ki - Handsome, ambitious, nice, cold, distant but yet somehow close. He's a really difficult character to figure out completely - I did like him especially more towards the end. Geu Rae - our "star" of the show, he's innocent and naïve and I could relate to him the most - as he was 26 & basically did nothing w/his life and well I am kind of in the same boat (I'm 26 now too)...Young Yi - I honestly found her a bit boring and hard to read - she was nice I'll give her that & I pitied her character a lot during the drama...but I didn't connect with her. Dong Shik - he's likeable like a good friend or mentor and a great co-worker. Gwan Woong - he comes later on in the drama but I liked it when he appeared, he's nice and considerate & also handsome^^ Oh Sang Shik - the boss of team 3 - he was basically the "father" of the team who really cared for his "kids" as he'd call them. Suk Yool's superior is a real jerk. Ass.Manager Kang - (a.k.a Baek Ki's superior) another handsome dude but I found him to be hard to understand.

Music: Fly by Lee Seung Yeol - I really liked this song.

Re-watch Value: 4.5 - I don't think I'll be re-watching this one as it was too realistic but if ever I end up in a situation with a job similar to theirs or need a little insight - I may pop back in to take a peak ;)

Well, this is the first time I've had a 9 across the board lol - I loved this drama, it was cute and sweet and the way they told the story was great^^ Also the bromance was excellent! (I always look for shows that have great bromance).

Story: An Angel saves a human and in the process falls in love with him. They are in High School so you can expect to see some bullying going on (as in all high school dramas). Woo Hyun & Seung Yeol develop great friendship and both fall for the same girl (as for me I rooted for Woo Hyun all the way). Woo Hyun's past ends up getting entangled with Seung Yeol's family and their friendship gets kind of messy - at least on Seung Yeol's side - Woo Hyun is a pretty faithful and honest very sincere guy who tries his best not to let things get to him or hurt him <3 (I think that's the reason I fell for him too).

Cast: Woo Hyun - my favorite character on this drama, he was so sweet and caring^^ and he was honest - I love it when people are honest ;) He runs a rice cake shop with his grandma & ends up meeting and falling in love with Seul Bi - he'd hurt with her & share her pain as if it was his own. Seung Yeol - a rather depressed guy until his life encounters Woo Hyun & Seul Bi then he starts opening up and laughing (until he finds out something towards the middle of the drama, then he kind off goes into bad guy mode & takes things out on the wrong people) - I wish his anger was shorter but...he'll be back to normal in the end (besides it's all a process of adjusting your feelings - he had to try and learn to deal with his mixed feelings). Seul Bi - an angel who saves a human only that made her turn into a human and now she has to learn how to live like a human - she learns about human emotions, love & friendships. She is sweet to a fault sometimes to everyone she meets - in the end they all get touched by her caring. There were only 2 characters that got on my nerves throughout the entire drama & they were Lee Ye Na & Seul Bi's senior angel >_<

Music: I liked it all <3

Re-watch Value: 9/10 I'd definitely re-watch this again, I thought it was really cute and sweet ;)

And as for the lead guys being "Idol actors" - one thing I can say for sure Woo Hyun & Seung Yeol can act a WHOLE HECK OF A LOT BETTER than their other group member namely "L" - (I watched this drama for the storyline - not for the actors - even though I know of Infinite & listen to a couple of their songs I didn't know the members until I started watching this). I did however know of the girl actress - as I've seen her in Can You Hear My Heart & Man from Nowhere and she is a good actress ;)

It's short and it's good^^ As soon as I started watching it I couldn't pull myself away for long - it's engaging enough that you want to know what is going to happen next :)

Story: A girl mysteriously dies and her friends try and uncover the reason for their friends death. As they search for the truth they each face different problems in their own lives - subjects such as pressure to do good in school, being a drop-out, pregnancy, first crush, and such.

Cast: Ahn Ba Woo (Lee Joon) may I say the "eye appeal" of this drama <3 He was seriously smexy on here^^ He tries to survive in the adult world b/c he has no where else to go. He also has a crush on a girl ;) Min Ho Soo (Hong Jong Hyun) a seemingly cold guy with a warm heart who has to learn to show it to others, he transfers from a prestigious school to a "trashy school" (is what the rumor is). Baek Hyo An (Han Ji Woo) the person the story revolves around as they try and find out why she died. Lee Ra Yi (Shin So Yool) a student who dreams of becoming a musician. Seo Yul (Park Ji Yeon) a student struggling to please her dad who constantly compares her to her siblings. Yoon Gong Ji (Kim Bo Ra) a very strange girl. They all fit and played their roles well and I enjoyed watching all of their scenes ;)

Music: Very good - I liked 2 songs that played a lot during the drama.

Re-watch Value: 8/10 I might re-watch this someday :) If you like school dramas then I'd recommend you watch this one :D

This drama is pure genius! Thank you writer and actors for letting me have a blast watching this and keeping me thrilled with every episode! This drama never got boring - it was so interesting, I loved every second and I highly recommend it!!! There are tons of action scenes, weapons and fights that take place during this drama but you should expect that if you're watching a crime related drama ;)

Story: In order to catch "bad guys" former detective Oh Gu Tak forms a team of "bad guys" to rid the city of the other "bad guys" < This was one of the things that attracted me to this drama ;)

Cast: Lee Jung Moon (Park Hae Jin) *My personal favorite* (and the reason I started this drama), a genius "psychopath" they have labeled him but is that really what he is? His character had a childlikeness to him that I loved - he was vulnerable and honest. Park Woong Cheol (Ma Dong Seok) a gangster with a warm heart - I loved the bromance between him & Jung Moon <3 Jung Tae Soo (Jo Dong Hyeok) a contract killer who turned himself in. Oh Gu Tak (Kim Sang Joon) a former detective who is kicked out after his daughter dies b/c of being overly violent; He brings Jung Moon, Woong Cheol & Tae Soo together & forms the "bad guy" team (but are his intentions pure?) We see these guys build friendships with each other and learn how to care for other people - can bad people become good people?

Music: The intense ost was right on par with every scene.

Re-watch Value: 10/10 - I loved every second of this drama so I will definitely re-watch this <3

A couple of my favorite quotes: "Violence is the law of beasts. Non-violence is the law of people." - Gu Hyeon - "To sin is a human business, but to justify sins is a devilish business." - Jung Moon quoting 'Tolstoy'

Crime, drug dealers, politicians, cops, corrupt cops, backstabbing, lying, trickery and gangsters - you can guess why this is called 'Cruel/Heartless City' right? ;) It's dark and mysterious and sometimes your mind will shout "yeah right!" "No way!"at some things the people will say or do... It was a good drama, I wouldn't say it was the best I've seen but it's definitely worth watching ;D

Cast: Jung Shi Hyun "doctor's son" (Jung Kyung Ho) a mystery man, during the first few episodes I was wondering how I could possibly like this "drug king" b/c if he is bad I have to hate him right? Well, that all changed by episode 4 - I was like oh DAEBAK now I CAN like him ;D His character was dark, cold, kind, loving, as honest as he could be, he was my favorite out of everyone <3 Han Soo Min (Nam Gyu Ri) is a newbie cop who goes undercover to try and catch &quot;doctor's son&quot; but ends up falling in love with him instead - their romance was sweet <3 Ji Hyung Min (Lee Jae Yoon) a pretty good detective I'd say, I liked him but I also got mad at him a lot b/c of him being so determined to catch "doctor's son" b/c of his own misunderstanding. Kim Hyun Soo "Soo" (Yoon Hyun Min) the "best friend" & "right-hand man" of "doctor's son" - I enjoyed watching "almost" (lol) every scene he was in ;) Lee Jin Sook (Kim Yoo Mi) I didn't really care about her that much, she was "whatever" to me, she played her role well but I was a bit grossed out by her so called "love" for someone whom she practically raised since he was a kid... O.o

Music: "Hurt" by Kim Yong Jin (Bohemian) - Now I first heard this song WAY before I decided to watch this drama - so I already knew this song by heart. But it is my favorite song for this drama - I love it and played it several times before & after finishing this ;)

Re-watch Value: 7.5/10 - It's a good drama that I might re-watch for Jung Kyung Ho's role (I loved his dark eyes & persona in this drama).
