I didn't love this drama as much as other people have. This drama did have a good story line and good actors, but I found myself forwarding through parts of each episode because it started to get boring. Maybe it was just me. But this drama didn't appeal to me as much. The story was captivating, but kind of dragged on. Actors were fantastic, though the main female actress kind of threw me off with her fake eye contacts. (Im not sure why, but it bothered me through the whole show). Music was okay aswell; however, it isn't something that would get stuck in your head. Overall, everything about this drama was great; Story, actors, character developement and relationships, were fanastic. I was just not a fan of some of the things going on.

Over all 7/10.

Would recommend for light drama watchers.

Wow this drama is really good. I watched this drama after 'Fashion King' . Both deal with similar plot themes, fashion industry, releasing brands, newbies becoming rich etc. But this drama did a much better job.

Story:: 9/10
The story kind of got you hooked, it was interesting and the relationships were kdrama-like, as expected. The plot developed very well, and had some sad parts aswell.

Characters/Actors: 9/10
The side characters that are supposed to make you laugh, actually made me laugh in this drama. The main leads played their roles well, and the main support characters were kniving and devious as expected. Acting was really good in this drama.

Music: 9/10
Stuck to me. Like it :)

Overall I enjoyed watching this drama, it was a refreshing relief after watching Fashion King.

I finished this drama just yesterday and gave myself some time to figure everything out.

Story::

The story was alright. Nothing special. I noticed that the main actor was supposed to be shown 'doing the right thing' but the things that she 'did' ruined the lives of other characters. And by doing so the viewer, you and I, began to think 'The hell is this woman doing?'. Even though she was 'doing' the right thing, it felt like she was being selfish. The writing for this drama didn't make much sense to me. Reactions by the characters did not at all match their situation. When they needed to be angry there weren't as angry as they should've been. The romance in the drama also felt kind of forced. There was always another love interest for the main female lead, and it never left the back of my mind that she had moved on. Even till the last episode.

Acting::

Very well done, except for what I mentioned earlier. The anger just wasn't there.

Overall, this is a fun drama to watch. You'll pull your hair out (granted you have any hair left from pulling your hair out during other dramas...you addict) and you'll laugh and cry. Definitely take this in light doses. Watching this in one go, is not what I'd recommend.

Story::

Yes its robo-human love. But its darn good. The story was really well done. There is a time travel aspect to the story which is written up and done very very well. The story leads you in one direction but the ending twists the story well, I didn't expect it and was happy.

Characters/Actors::

Really awesome acting by the actors. The characters however.. meh. The main male lead didn't do that fantastic of a job. BUT everyone else did everything so well, that I ended up loving one of the side characters(the teacher). Damn, the robot is legit!


Music:

Perfectly fitting.


Overall: 9/10

Im writing this here because I've watched only 10 episodes and that where I'm going to stop. I know can easily...very easily predict what is going to happen next. Episode 10 wraps up the drama well. As we all previously know typical K-drama land, after the two lovers tell show signs of affection, sh** hits the fan, unecessary sh**. So knowing I don't want to get into that, I stopped at episode 10. This is my review so far :)


Awesome story, the transition from past to future is really well done. Makes you think. Actors played characters really very well. Music was awesome. Just sometimes I stood and wondered..what is that dude wearing? But then quickly realized in the world of kdrama..everything is possible.

I recently finished watching this drama and gave myself some time before I reviewed it..to help clear myself from bias..

Story::

9/10
Really well put together story. I don't really know what else I can say about it..except that in royal dramas like these, it seems that these royals can get away with everything. It urks me but its most probably true. Anywho, the story was really good, event flowed the way you'd expect to in a drama, but the romance seemed really one-sided till the last couple of episodes and by last couple I mean last 4-5 episodes.

Acting/Characters::

10/10
Characters were flawed and that made it better. Actual emotions that normal people would have was portrayed by the main female lead, usually if the guy does something jerkish in Kdrama's the girl swoon forgivingly and follows. Not for this one though, and I liked it. What bothered me about the main male protagonist was that he didn't assert his position as a husband...ever..in the whole freaking drama. It was really bothersome. But the reason was explained later on in the series.
All in all everyone acted fantastically.


Music::

Sticks to you..10/10

Rewatch?

I dont rewatch any dramas.

I’m not sure why this drama is rated so high, its not fantastic, its just all right. Contrary to usual reviews…this is mine.


Story:::7/10
Story is of a typical playboy trying to get with a girl who he starts to fall in love with. However, the story also revolves around his other three friends as well and their love lives. There isn’t anything fantastic about the story. Its just that these guys are older, and that is always a factor that is brought up in the plot. Story development is enjoyable, kind of drags along. I didn’t watch this in one sitting, I ended up watching this drama over 2 weeks..which is a really long time to finish a drama for me. However, that being said, this story is not at all a let-down. It really makes you laugh out loud at some points which is a really surprising. I haven’t lolled in a drama for a while.

Characters/Acting::: 8/10
The characters are pretty awesome. The four guys when they’re together actually come across as four really close friends since highschool. These guys have solid acting. The ladies are pretty solid aswell. The main female lead is pretty awesome when she gets bummed out. Its pretty hilarious. There is a lot of female crying in this drama. Sorry, crying isn’t the right word..balling is probably more fitting. These women open their mouths and wail the wail of a thousand new widows in one sitting. Its frightening, because it is actually…. Legitimately being passed on to the viewer as a ‘sad moment’…how can it be sad, when their tears causes you to laugh?

Music:::7/10

Matched the mood, not good enough to add to my playlist though.

Rewatch? Wouldn’t…I never rewatch.

Overall:: 7/10

I enjoyed watching this drama, but have some critique for it.

Story:::
The story line was okay, it was understandable, and probably is the first marriage-contract-dramas I've seen. It was funny at certain points. Followed the typical drama story evolution (if you watch a lot of dramas you know what I'm talking about). Truthfully, I expected much more conflict, but it was an easy-going no misconception drama.

Acting/Characters::
Acting was well done. Character were well portrayed. However, there was a sudden change in the main Chaebol character that bothered me a lot. People don't tend to change personalities on a whim, which is what happened here. They attempted to show that he developed into a easy-going fella but they didn't do it well enough. However, the main lead actress maintained her character very well and the character was developed well enough to let the viewer know what was going on. She was good :)

Music::
I like the OST. The songs matched the moods, unlike other dramas where they're playing happy music at the saddest situation smh...Anywho OST was good and music was well placed.

Rating:

8/10

I only watched this movie because of SSK. I was not disappointed. This movie is really good.

Story::

The story in this movie develops well. It's about a retired gang member who is on the verge of inheriting a gang-kingdom. But there's an assassin out for him (SSK) who is just a high-school sharpshooter that got caught with the wrong crowd. The story is interesting; however, I felt confused at one point trying to figure out who the bad guy was and who was the King.

Acting/Characters::

Played very well. I'm never disappointed by SSK's acting. The characters developed really well, you know get what's going on in their heads.

Music::

Fit the mood, and enjoyable.

Overall:: 9/10

The story drags on, not until very late into the series does the story start rapidly developing. The story is interesting but it presents an image of the past that isn't explained well enough and leaves you wondering. The actors though strong, have a tough time acting in sorrowful situations. It seems too forced and fake. But the music...My goodness the OST is mind blowing, the music is hypnotic and I like the show mostly because of the music. Character development, however, is quite weak in this drama. One of the characters is supposed to go through major development, but it only shows the effects of the development in the last 2 episode, a real let down. Also, one of the characters is a demon(obviously) and being a creature that's been around for a couple of centuries, you'd expect it to be dignified and mature, that was however not the case, and it bothered me. None the less, it was a nice show to watch.

Overall 8/10

I dropped this drama at episode 8.

Story::
It was another "fateful" meeting drama. Nothing new that I felt. Truly, it seemed as though the plot was going to deepen in the first couple of episodes but it kept going round and round in circles. Unfortunately, I became too bored to continue.

Acting/Characters::

The characters were the breaking point for me. Acting is fantastic though, these actors can do a very good job. Characters however....I could not stand the goofy-happy-always-smiling-and-jolly guy that the main lead played. It urked the hell out of me.

Music::
Fit very well with the mood.


would never rewatch though...
