Story:

I quite like the story of the drama. It basically based upon family life, sacrifices and circumstances. Throughout the entire series, it focuses on highlighting the different sacrifices that the child who became the head of the family after the incident and what he has done to avert convict for his brother. Decisions, decisions and decisions is another topic in which this covers. The reason for this is because for every decision, there will always be an effect. You will never know if it’s a positive or negative effect. You MUST watch this drama from the very beginning in order to understand what is going on. Every details is supported about their pass which provide the information and scenes that the viewer would want. Also, assumptions is not a good idea for this drama. To be honest with you, I assume that they can overcome it very easy with no complication. Unfortunately, I misjudge the entire part. I basically never read the plot of any dramas that I watch. This is because for me the plot is basically the spoiler of the series, I really hate spoilers especially for length of dramas.
In contrast, the romance side of this drama is very exceptional. Like family complication, they also shows the difficulties and complications of love stories. I am actually moved on the romance storyline of this drama. The reason for this is because it is not the typical “we are now together, no problems and lets live a happy live” which is mostly use as the ending of most dramas. However, there is a silver lining for each romantic couples of drama in which the viewer needs to understand and watch. In order for them to understand, they must start from the very start from how they meet, where the spark happen, their difficulties and how they have overcome it. I would say that for the romantic genre of it, there is no disappointment. This is because if you look at the romance parts, it is very stimulating to watch, yet entertaining.
I would say that the only drawback for this drama is that it is very long. However, it is quite worth it I would say. If you want family, romance and melodrama series, this is a very good to watch. You will clearly see these genre throughout it. On the other side, the storyline is good to the point that all entangled family life will be in good condition.

Casts/ Acting:

The casts and their acting performance were outstanding. Even though I clearly did not do a casting check with the drama, they were actually performed very well. If you watched it, you will see that they are all very experience actor/actress. Their way on expressing their emotions on the series is excellent in which it makes you feel the scene. I know it sounds corny, but it is actually true. After you understand what is going on, you will understand why I would say this to be honest. The casts chosen are excellent, it is clearly that we would want to look forward to their other individual drama (especially the rookies). I do not know why, I actually like the antagonist of the drama. This is because you will actually hate him a lot and how jealousy end up with anger, hatred, conviction and envy. I actually would not make any more comments with the casts. The reason behind this is because once you see the drama you will complete disregard their history and focus on the story and how they portray their character.

Conclusion:

I would say that after watching it all, I will re-watch it, but only the parts that are memorable. This involves love scenes and developments, the family story and even their complication. I specifically ignore the business side of the drama. This is because it is a bit dull and tiresome to watch. I would not recommend it to watch again from the very beginning because it will take you time. Therefore, I specifically want the plotline and how the story develop as well as the casts chosen.

Story:

This drama has a series of action, thriller, mystery, suspense, crime and even a hint of romance. God’s Quiz is a type of dramas that you need to watch all the episodes and part in order to understand the scenario. For every investigation they have, you need to be able to understand what they are referring and what they are talking about. After for each episode, they will come up with a solid conclusion in which you will find understand once the case is case. In regards with the plot and storyline, it is quite clever, yet complicated. This is because for every crime they investigate, the solutions are very clever while the procedures they have to undergo are very complicated. Also, the story shows the difficulty of criminology and how they tackle difficult situation, especially while working and risking their life.
In addition, the story is a complete package of suspense, drama and crime which is often a bad combination. However, these genre fits to the storyline of the drama and it was well executed. This suggests that with this combination, you are assuring that you want to continue watching it. Their curiosity for each case is astonishing. There is always a malevolent antagonist who is conducting series of crime which they need to identify who. Therefore, this is a drama that has a very good and solid plot and story. I can assure you that for each case they do, you would ask yourself “who did it?” “Why they did it?” and “what is the cause of it?”

Casting/Acting:

I am not very familiar with the cast for this drama; however, their acting skills are very good. In my point of view, they often improvised during some of the scene which makes them very professional with their field. I am very pleased on how they act on drama. I am looking forward on how they act for the next seasons. I hope they will not disappoint me like some drama that have next season that does not have a very good cast. Even though they are a lot of rookies in acting, they need to be confident on whatever their character is. For example, the main actor is effectively acting a childish, genius, comedic and mysterious doctor. What I see is that he carefully evaluated on how he is going to portray his character. Therefore, I would complement the director for choosing a very good casting list.

Music:

There is no much to say in the music. The reason behind this is because they mostly use suspense and thrilling sound effect to make the scene more dramatic and exciting. The viewers can actually feel the suspense and thrilling effect due to the effective use of the sound effect. Furthermore, the sound effects and music used in this drama fits to the genre itself. The music changes the mood of the scene from melodrama, to comedic, to suspense and to even romantic.

Conclusion:

For me, there is a high possibility to re-watch this drama. The reason for this is because of the suspense, action thrilling and hint of romance for each. With that malevolent, psychotic and cunning antagonist, you could miss a lot. I am looking forward on seeing him in the next season which I think he is. Either way, I conclude that this drama is a very astonishing due to its features. This involves plot twisting theories, unpredictable outcome, mind twisting problems and even fighting a vindictive phantom. Therefore, the chance to re-watch this drama is very high due to that fact that you will get curious as they go deep down with their investigations. Also, I am looking forward on watching the next season.

The story of a divorce couple is very popular this 2014. I must say, the writer for this drama is very good. This is because the story of the drama is so wild. This means that the romance, the comedy, the medical and even the complicated scenes are well managed. The writer and director clearly want to make sure that the drama is easy to catch up, while having a lot of twist in the story. The story of this drama is basically about fate. They met again after what happen to them on the past. The drama is so funny to watch with the childish acting, the romantic comedy and even the failure moments. I would say that the story of drama is predictable, yet very complicated. This is because you thought that you know that will happen, but there is an after effect of the situation. There is a lot of scenes like this in the drama which is very exciting and the excitement continues due to these scenes. Also, thanks to these, it helps them gain a lot of love for this drama. So, I would say that the drama has a very good storyline. It very steady with lots of exciting parts and yet complicated situation that makes you think that “is that will happen next or I might be wrong.”

The cast they have chosen for the drama is very good as well. The reason for this is because they are very experienced and performed very well. The age group they are playing as are very convincing even when they are acting young, viewers will disregard their original age due to their acting skills. The casting is properly looks over by the director because they want to make sure that the cast they will get for the drama is very good and will get people’s attention. So, the casting and acting values of this drama is very good. However, there are some extras that kind of ruin some scenes. I will not say who they are and which parts they are in.

The music complication used in the drama is also quite good and sync in the scenes. I would not make a lot of comment with the music used. This is because if you watch the entire drama, it fits and suited to the drama scenes. The moment of sadness, the music they have used have a vulnerability and mellow effect sound tracks. This gives emphasis on the whole scenes. Therefore, the music they have used are very effective and well managed.

Furthermore, I would recommend to watch the drama again. This is because the storyline is very addictive. It is very easy to catch up and understand even if you miss one bit. However, I will not miss any bits in the drama for every bits have links to the past or future of the drama. I like to watch this drama again because it shows how the world is so small that even the person you used to hate the most, you will still see them around. Therefore, this drama is very good to watch when you want to laugh while having the love thrills.

I must say, this is the typical rom-com scenario dramas. The women fell for the guy, but they guy don't and in the end he will come after her. The story is basically predictable. You can actually catch up with story even if you watch it from the middle. This is because there is no surprising and plot twist in the drama, which is kind of disappointing. This suggests that the story of the drama is basically not very good. The reason for this is because viewers would want something that is jaw breaking romance and comedic story. In contrast, the romance factor of this drama is overloading. There is jealousy, cuteness, envy, crushes, unrequited love and even three way connections. There are a lot of face-to-face moments and of course kissing scenes that gives you thrills. I would say that this is the most anticipated part within the drama. But, assumption is not good with this drama. So, the story of the drama is quite dull, but yet the romance scene is the best part throughout it.

Likewise, the casts chosen are chosen are clearly very good. This is because their acting is very convincing. For example, a very muscular man, but very childish in front of her love. They executed their acting skills perfectly to the drama. I would say that they are no major flaw with it. This is because it keeps the story going. However, the casts might be very good, but if the story is easy to catch on, it is practically useless. There is no anticipation needed for the upcoming scenes of it.

In regard with the use of music, it is very sync to the part. The happy moments with upbeat music and the sad moments with the mellow tones, these are the techniques used to the drama so the viewers can feel the scene. It makes them get the actual thought of the casts on whether they are happy or in a crisis. I would not make anymore comments with the music used in the drama. This is because it very effective, their chose of soundtracks properly match up with the scenes.

In conclusion, I would not recommend watching this again if you want a drama that has good story line. But, if you want lots of cuteness and romance scene, then this is the drama for you. This is because you don’t have to watch every part of the drama to understand where it is headed. The romance factors are basically the most exciting part of the drama. Therefore, this drama is good with romance scene not with twisting its own story line.

Just my opinion, RolieRol

Story
The story revolves around these two typical high school Thai students, Fuse and Tee surrounding a bunch of friends who are somehow sexually active. It underlines how hard a person can have, the lowest they can get after a hearthbreak and they just want ease it off their mind. This where mainly story revolves because this youth drama shows the possibility of what a person do can after a bad break-up and, what they can potentially do. However, this also means sexually confused at time which reflects us back to the story as these characters got to this teenage point where confusion strikes. They are hiding their inner self in front of other people because of public criticism and different point of view. But, this drama outlines how society are accepting nowadays in regards with homosexuality as it is becoming more welcomed in the society. Likewise, it did not just applied to the main casts, but in the general casts in the whole series which is good as they exposed as much people as they want generally.
The drama surrounds itself with homosexuality (gays and lesbians) which is not bad, because to be honest, their affection towards each other are often more sincere; it was shown practically on the whole series of how can like be developed into something more if you actually like the person your with and you’ll rather have that someone than actually being in a situation where you cannot take. Therefore, the story line is really simple and clear for the viewers there are no misunderstandings portrayed during the whole series; because the director actually shown what they want to give to their viewers that implies a good understanding of their target audience.

Casts/Acting
The casts chosen for this drama are actually good, even though some of them are amateur, but in general they are actually good. In reality, portraying a homo character have its difficulties, especially if you are straight. This suggests like it will be a challenge for them to portray a character that might be not suited for them, but they actually performed and execute their acting skills quite. Furthermore, the collection of people in the series are very good, there are actually no bad actors, they are just mainly amateurs, but we can look forward on seeing them more producing good series such as this.

Conclusion
The drama will have a high-rewatch factor for me in general. The reason for this is because I enjoyed the drama is general. The couples the directors picked are very cute, however, there are cringy yet very cheesy lines there where you can actually sense the romantic vibe between each couples.
However, I quite like to see some more towards the end, but personally I think they just rushed it as they could have developed some more, as the series is very good when portraying what can peer pressure do to you, the stage of confusion and even emotional depressions which where the real stands. Therefore, the drama is very good, just a shame no further development made and, the cliffhanger which I know some people get annoyed about. Additionally, the use of the background music is very synthesising because it actually harmonised with the whole scenario and actually scenes.

P.S. I have not read the novel for this drama, henceforth I am stating person opinion in regards on what I felt an think about the whole series.

This is the usual and often divorced drama plots. There is a divorcee who want to get back together, and lady who wants the divorces, guy have an interest with the divorcee and the two divorcee wants to get back together. This is the average story of this drama. The whole point of this drama is for the women to get back his rich husband. While, the rich husband is such an idiot that she basically lost her whole life because of what he has done. This is the story of this drama. They have an on and off relationship between the two and yet they still want to get back together? This is my first impression of the story after watching it. However, with the other rivals, how can they get back together? They use a different approach with eh story by having a younger boy rival and a bad memory past women rival. This suggests that they would be the antagonist of the whole drama, but the matter of fact they are not. They are just the two person within the drama who want to get want they want to engage a new experience and forget the bad memories. In contrast, this is a drama that I would not recommend for re-watch. The reason behind this is because it is biased to one side of the character, instead of weighing it fairly. This means that the story is biased to sang wook character. Their moments with min jung are quite a lot which completely disregard kang joon feelings for her. So, the story of this drama is pure favouritism to sang wook character and completely ignored the other side of boy rival. Likewise, they also disregard gyu ri’s character which is kind of disappointing. This is the most disappointing outcome of this drama’s storyline.

I feel that the reason why this drama have a lot of viewers because of their casting. Sang wook and min jung because of their past dramas which garnered a lot of attention. Gyu ri’s background with drama activities and the flower boy rookie kang joon. I think that this is the main reason why there are still a lot of watchers of this drama. The casting basically impacted this drama. This is because if the casts are very good, viewers will tend to watch it and take no notice of the plotline of the drama. Therefore, I would say that this drama is purely on casting attention than story gainer which is quite depressing. I look forward to dramas that have a good story than good castings.

I will not make any reviews about the music they have used. I completely ignore the soundtracks they have used because I focused more about where the story is going and headed on.

In conclusion, I would not watch to re-watch the drama because the whole story is so cliché. It is predictable, yet very complicated. They focus more about casting famous rookies and experienced actors. For example, sang wook, gyu ri and min young. The rookies suchs as hellovenus yooyoung, infinite myungsoo and 5uprise kang joon who is known as the flower boy rookie now. Therefore, this drama revolves around the best of the best actors but not the best of the best storyline.
