The story line is really well done. The bromance between the guys is phenomenal. It is definitely a teen KD. However, I am far from being a teenager and I still enjoyed it. The ending was well done because it left it to interpretation. The characters really grow in this KD while staying true to their original selves. There is of course angst, but it is not so over played that it feels contrived. Sometimes when there is angst in a KD, the characters act…well, out of character. Not in this one. The music is good and I found myself humming them after watching an episode. The background is gritty and seems like a natural setting for the characters. My only complaint is that I didn’t get to see more of L, which is why I started watching Shut Up in the first place. However, I did enjoy the rest of the actors and of course they are cuties. That drummer (Lee Hyun Jae) is a hottie with a great smile!!! Over all I would say this a KD that you don’t want to miss!!!

OMG...Rain is awesome!!! The other cast members where good also, but Rain just stole the show!!! The story is good, but I think some aspects could have been better developed. The angst the main characters go thru seems a little over the top. However, you can see where Bokgu is coming from thru his childhood story. I don't know why it is a romantic commedy because it isn't very funny...it has it's moments, but for the most part it actually sad and tragic. The theme song is beautiful and I have listened to it about 100 times. I probably wouldn't rewatch it just because it is sad. RAIN should do more dramas!!!

I watched this because Kim Joon is in it, but I ended with enjoying all of the actors!!! The story is great although I did guess "who done it" from pretty much the beginning. I think that is because I read a lot of mystery books. Anyway the plot is well organized and makes perfect since. They keep the love low key which is good for me, because I was watching this as an escape from my usual romantic comedy. I also like that this wasn't a teenybopper type KD. The actors are more my age and older and that appeals to me. The theme song is awesome. I listen to it all the time. Overall I think this is a well written and well acted drama. I would totally watch a season 2. I don't give it much of a rewatch value, because I don't like watching mysteries that I have already seen. As a side note...Lee Jong Hyuk has some great lips!!! ;-)

I love this drama, because the story, acting, music, and directing all come together to make what has now become my favorite KD ever. The story is really well written. There was never a point where I was bored or upset with the direction the story was going. The acting is awesome!!! I fell in love with Yang Kang Cheol/Jung Woo Sung in this KD. Jung Ji Na/Han Ji Min is a great actress and she is beautiful. Kim Bum of course is a hotie, but he can also act and does a great job in this KD. I cried, laughed, and yelled at my screen...all the great emotions that make a drama worth watching. The ending was AWESOME!!! I would rewatch thid KD in a heartbeat and I recomend that everyone watch it too.

I will admit that the first time I started to watch this that I didn't even get thru the first episode. I just looked at Eun Chan/Yoon Eun Hye and thought there is no way that she is going to pull of being a boy and quit watching it. My sister convinced me to try again and I did. Now I totally love this drama!!! The acting is so great that I totally enjoyed all the characters in this drama!!! The story is well written and directed. Yoon Eun Hye pulls off the tomboy as well as the romance of the story with ease. If it weren't for that, then I don't think this drama would be as good as it is. Even the ending is good. I will probably rewatch this in the future.

This KD is awesome!!! It brings all the best elements of a drama together with great acting and great directing!!! Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young are great actors. I have now watched everything that they have been in and they never let me down. The action is very well done and this drama is good from episode to episode. There is never a time when I am bored and ready to skip through. I love it when the bad guy is a person that you sympathise with and this drama does that with excelance!!! I haven't rewatched this KD because I haven't watched many and I am constanly searching for something new, but when the time comes that I can rewatch...this will be the first on my list!!!

I really haven't seen many KDs as good as this one. The acting is awesome!!! I fell in love with Kim Joon because of this drama and started listening to his music. If you have the chance, then you should really check it out!!!

EDIT: I have watched tons of dramas since watching this. I admit at the time, I thought it was great. Now, after watching it again and other versions, I realize it wasn't that great. The acting is still the best part of it. The story is fine except Jan Di's character. She is just blah!!! I liked her character in other versions better. Anyway, just amending my review to match how I feel about this drama in the present. I still love Kim Joon though. :-)
