Tong: Memories is a 12 episode series of 15 min. about a group of friends involved in street fighting. The series is outstanding when it comes to their fighting scenes as they are very realistic and pretty much little to no special effects in it. The acting of the actors was up to standard and the music scenes fitted, unfortunately it lacks a bit of a story in it as to me it is very basic.
So if you have spare time or just want to watch it during a short ride in a bus/train or whatever, I would recommend you to watch it.

Like previous reviews said, the story itself is not really new as a person that lost someone is out for revenge, however the acting of the actors and the action (which it is full of) will keep you interested.
I would definitely recommend you to watch it if you'd love series like IRIS or Athena, however I still wonder why Korean tv blurs out blades, while showing all wounds made by it clearly visible on screen.

So I would highly recommend you all to watch it, however to re-watch is probably not a good thing as most of the jokes are known well in advance.

The series was a bit basic, though there was plenty of action for those who prefer that. I would have preferred if characters were a bit more described, though the film did have some good features in it too as their own soldiers were vulnerable to enemy bullets too. Actors spoke in their language too, so it was not uncommon to hear thai, lao or burmese.
Overal it was an ok movie if you are bored, however do not expect a great piece of filming.

I have had my thoughts to actually start watching this series as the plot seemed to be very common amongst fantasy dramas, however I gave it a go and from my view it was totally deserved to be watched. A very nice romance series in which a lead plays an important role amongst the princes their fate. The acting was strong, but to be honest when I am watching IU playing, I am basically sold already haha!.
Though I gave it a pretty low re-watch value as I am not a person who likes to re-watch such dramas as it will spoil the series when you know the story pretty much beforehand.

Though in theory it might have been a nice story as a series, it failed on several occasions. The actors were not in the correct roles and/or acted below standards. Story was very basic in which the story was predictable several episodes advanced. Trying to create side stories which were pretty useless and non-interesting. Though I have had some spare moments of joy within this series, I can't give more than a single five for this series, which I think is on the high side.

Like a previous person said, they seem to focus more on the events rather than on the backgrounds. We do learn a bit about Gun Woo, Jang Min Joo & Jang Moo Won, but Choi Tae Pyeong was left as a blank character which was a bit disappointing to me.
The ending was fine I guess, though I would have sticked to the dark ending as it would have been perfectly fitting for this kind of series.

Pied Piper was a series which I have enjoyed watching with some dark plots. From my perspective it started a bit slow and boring, but gradually improved in quality. The series mislead you several times about the identity of Pied Piper, which makes you wonder at the end if it was really him (of course until it is known for sure in the last few episodes).
Though I wouldn't rewatch this series as it is not fun anymore once you know all about Pied Piper's identity from the beginning.
A dark, but great series from my point of view and I would give it a well-deserved 7.5.

A series which keeps you entertained, interested and manages to surprise you several times. The producers of Bad Guys did a good job on choosing their actors for their story line either. They'd fit in perfectly.
