The story for this drama is really unbelievable.. not unbelievable good, but unbelievable in the literal sense. Stuff like this would never happen IRL. Yes I understand that its a drama. But still dramas should have some realism. This one does not. The relationship in the drama is kind of off-putting, though it does further, its as though the two mains are attracted to each other because they supposed to. Personally, I liked how the main male lead kind of realized his feelings over time and not just "I hate her *snap* no actually I love her". But wow this drama made me laugh out loud a lot.

Story: 8/10

The characters and actors did a really good job. The only character that seemed flimsy was male female lead. Ugh, so much aegyo. You get over it. Everyone else was really good. I enjoyed the witchy-ness from the lead antagonist.

Characters/actors 9/10

Music was outstanding. It will get stuck inside of your head. Awesome. Loved it.

Music 10/10

Rewatch? I wouldnt. Not because its bad, but because I don't rewatch.

Overall 8/10

Damn, this was good. Was probably the first Kdrama I've watched.

Story::
The whole relationship and story was complex. I loved it. Very well done. I'm probably going to come back to watch this again. Development was fantastic.

Acting/Characters::
Very well done. The characters were full of emotion, so it was probably difficult to do, but they did it, and they portrayed it really well.

Music::
Will stick with me for a loooongg time.

I'm not sure why this doesn't have higher ratings...its really good.

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

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 really liked this drama. It was really well done. The acting was just...omg so good. Story developed well and the characters weren't as flimsy as I thought they would be. The progression of their relationship was realistic and well put together. The story was good aswell. Really heart-wrenching at certain points, but that's what makes it so good. Music usually matched the scene, but at certain points it was off, OST sounds fantastic though.

Would recommend.

I gave myself a total of two months before writing this review. Why? Because the ending will make you hate it. But after these two months I took a step back and looked at the whole show. And wow, it was really good. Actors played their parts very very well. Plot development was amazing. The music...wow..the music, the OST has a spanish swing to it that just sticks in your head. I have to talk about character development here, because that is what it comes down to and what people hate the ending for. Character development is very key in this drama. Characters were depicted perfectly as greedy, jealous, self-living, spineless, backstabbing people left and right. Each episode developed the conflict further and further (which could have just been solved by taking to each other, but that doesn't happen in Kdrama land). Until a boiling point is reached and the last episode shows the reality of the Fashion world and that its not always pretty. (which is why people hated the show)

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.

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.

Holy Shit. The movie is the most badass, most action packed revenge movie I have ever seen. This movie is right now my top favourite movie. The main actor....my goodness the main actor acts so well in this movie. He plays the character so right. I hope he won many awards because of this. But he's not the only fantastic actor. The child actress is fantastic. Its funny, I expect children to be horrible actors/resses but this little girl was so believable. I'm amazed. The story is well written and by well written I mean f****** amazing. If you haven't watch this movie, this should be top on your list of movies to watch. Watch it.

I watched this right after finishing the first season. And wow. This one had more complex puzzles..but didn’t have enough new ones. :/ I might just be being picky..But still the show was amazing. Characters were played awesomely. Deception is really big in the drama and always keeps you guessing at everyones real intentions. Actors were fantastic. This season was about flaws in every character and each actor did their part to making the show come alive. And wow…I will totally watch again. Didn’t like the way it ended though… =/

My goodness..this show was fantastic. I really didn’t like the main girl..as she’s kind of annoying and squeaky. But that literally the only downside to this drama, everyone acts so well. This drama is full of deception and betrayal, strength and morals, revenge and love. I was hooked by the first episode so easily. This drama was based on the manga, I didn’t even bother reading that. This show was just fanstatic. The music was well played and right on. Characters were well created and deceptive.

The puzzles…oh the puzzles..mind bending, confusing and loveable. Literrally watched this entire show in a day. The show just gets to you, hooks you and reels you in. Must Watch. And I will watch again.

Started out fantastic. Awesome story with great progression. But unfortunately, horrible ending. They shoved as much as they could into the last episode and it showed. The story was well written and the characters were well developed. The romance was alright aswell. Music was well constructed as well and matched the mood. I however, would no rewatch. The drama hyped me up for the end and it plummeted there.

It was alright, nothing fantastic for sure. The love story, truly, was kind of weird for me, it made me skip episodes. I also forwarded past many scenes concerning side character love stories. They kind of dragged on and were boring. However, characters were really well played, and actors were fantastic. Also, the jokes were funny when they were there.

Just..such an awesome story. The usual relationship misconceptions that are so present in the dramas nowadays aren't in this one, and its a relief. The story is really well written and well played out. When its sad and you feel sad, its happy and giddy and you feel the same way. Not like rooftop prince at all except the time travelling, the ending is satisfying and the whole show is just great. If I could give the story a score above 10 I would.
