This is a roller-coaster ride with great, imaginative writing. This is the most wonderfully unpredictable drama that I have ever seen. There is romance and it is very suspenseful. I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute of it. The story is about time travel and the consequences of every choice a person makes in life. I think the writers are really brave, but because I can't give spoilers in a review, you will just have to watch it to see what I mean.

The acting is superb. Lee Jin Wook as Sun Woo and Jo Yoon Hee as Min Young have great chemistry and I love their interaction. Really all of the actors are good.

The music fits the drama although I wouldn't say there is anything that I would put on my playlist.

I would rewatch this in a heartbeat.

I recommend this to everyone. I know this review is short, but this is one of those dramas that would take hours upon hours to explain and since we can't post spoilers, I really can't explain all the reasons why you should watch it. I can guarantee you won't regret it if you do. read more

OMG FREAKING AWESOME!!!

So this drama had it all. I was left guessing the whole time. I never knew what was coming except once & that was just a given. There wasn't anything bad about this drama. I loved the whole thing. The acting was amazing, the story was awesome, & I would totally start rewatching this in a heartbeat. I don't think that this drama could disappoint any1. The only issue was that I just couldn't stand the old bad guys facial expressions, but ur supposed to hate the bad guy. Anyway awesome job writers. This is the best time travel drama I have ever watched b/c it is simple and complex at the same time. It makes u think, but u also have to accept things as they are. I enjoyed watching this drama & I suggest that every1 give it a try. I promise it will draw u in on the 1st episode. ENJOY! read more

This show is criminally underrated! To describe it briefly, I would say it is a darker and more mature version of Dream High, with better acting.

Each character is written with a lot of care. We delve deep into their back stories, and I find myself cheering on each one of them, and crying with each one of them. The lessons each character learn are hard but realistic. The show takes you on that journey of growing up.

If there is one thing I dislike about the story, it is the Park Tae Hee character. Yes she's the typical female lead - ditzy but really sweet, cute and talented, but can I just say how annoying I find her. Otherwise, the rest of the cast was just perfect, especially Jo Jung Suk and Im Joo Eun.

The soundtrack is quite unique compared to other dramas - fewer romantic ballads, more fist-pumping songs that make you excited to be young, aspirational and full of dreams. read more

Oh, Yong-hwa, Yong-hwa.

I guess I went in knowing, in a way, what to expect from this drama. But it is still disappointing that it is such a 'forgettable' show.

The characters seem to taken from an oft-used cookie cutter mould in Korean dramas - aloof boy, earnest girl, second lead with a dark past/scars from past relationships, absent fathers/mothers etc. You get the drift.

Verdict: mehhhh.

The drama feels like a tribute to the growing up years - which is most apt for those of us who have already grown up (at least that is my personal view). It reflects the intensity of our adolescence - when that one thing, whether it's your crush or your favourite boyband, means everything to you and consumes your whole life, such that if you failed at one of those things, your whole world would collapse around you.

The whole drama is written as a look back from the present to the past, starting from the year 1997. Each episode is written around a particular theme or life lesson - very poignant and stirs up feelings of nostalgia within you.

The ensemble cast in this show is quite hilarious - a good mix of experienced and amateur actors who have good chemistry. Eun Ji from A Pink gives a great debut performance. Seo In Guk too, though Eun Ji steals the show.

A high rewatch value for the fact that the show can teach some lessons we need to learn again and again throughout life, no matter what age we are. read more

My oh my, what to say about this drama?

When it was first released, man it was THE HOTTEST THING on TV. And it was positively addictive. I was a relative newbie to Korean dramas, so this drama meant the world to me and it was an obsession.

The main reason why one may be attracted to watch this at first is the fact that it rides on the goodwill from Meteor Garden and Hana Yori Dango. I'm not here to compare these adaptations though.

The show is full of scenes that seem hilarious and cheesy on hindsight, but on first watch I never seemed to notice them. I was probably blinded by my addiction. The story is also full of holes.

The only redeeming thing about the cast is the induction of Lee Min Ho into popular consciousness. He played his character well. Another consolation is getting to know Kim Bum the actor. Not his first project, but he became more well-known because of this show. Gu Hye Sun - what a disappointment. Kim So Eun did what she could with the material she had.

The soundtrack is positively in-your-face - you will never think of that silly Paradise song in the same way ever again. It appears in every darn scene possible, even those you never thought possible.

Having said all of that, why I put rewatch value at an 8: when I watch it now, it is so cringe-inducing and hilariously BAD. If you have seen it before and have seen top-quality dramas since (eg Gaksital, City Hunter, Best Love etc), I encourage you to watch it again, and enjoy the show, for TOTALLY DIFFERENT reasons from when you first watched it. read more

God's Quiz Season 1

This, deserve a 10/10 from me. I am a fan of medical forensic drama. And, I love OCN's dramas. So, this drama is basically a combination of both my favorites. I've watched a few dramas with this genre, either from Asian, or US. Vampire Prosecutor, Virus, Body of Proof, CSI:NY, Brain, Surgeon Bong Dal Hee. But this one is, simply amazing. This drama maybe has the highest score among all the drama I've reviewed.

Story: the story basically had no defined plot at early episodes. It just contains separated cases each episodes. But later a plot was built and unexpectedly made a twist (which was a pleasant surprise). The case about rare disease is REALLY interesting. The cases are not using a really "smart" or "tricky" strategy, but rather, it's interesting because the case was actually solved by solving the victim's or perpetrator's disease. And of course, I could take notes learning about rare disease (which, I really interested into). And to add the plus point, it contains a bit romance (and a sweet one :))

Acting/Cast: I must admit, dr. Han is really charming, in his own way. He's smart, but quirky at the same time (and different from other main characters from other medical drama I've watched). Ryu Deok Hwan is absolutely worth praising. The interaction between the team is also hilarious and warm, which I really enjoy. All the cast did a fantastic job building the character, so, 10/10.

Music: actually, there's not much music. I do believe, OST bombardment is not for medical drama, because atmosphere is not really the main point. But to be honest, this drama had better OST than other medical drama I've watched.

Rewatch Value: I'm not the type who would rewatch the dramas I've watched. But if I put myself on other's shoes, I definitely would want to rewatch this, someday in the future.

Overall: Even though it lacks in music, but it doesn't matter for me. This drama still scored 10/10. The acting is terrific, nothing to complaint. It blown me away after I watched the first episodes and got me addicted (to the extent that I neglected all my currently watching dramas beside this one). This drama successfully rises to the top 5 of my all-time favorite dramas, and I am now excited to watch the second season. Apparently this drama had similar format with other dramas, but with its uniqueness, I would highly recommend this drama for those whose fond of medical dramas (and those who doesn't mind bloody and autopsy scenes). read more

I don't know if I would recommend My Daughter Seoyoung to EVERYONE. For starters, this drama is 50 episodes long, so some parts are bound to drag and it needs patience. It's certainly not for people who make ep-to-ep analysis. I don't even know what I was thinking when I picked this one. Usually I pick dramas with episodes not more than 20. This was my first 50 episodes drama(Ok, Technically, Lee Soon Shin is the Best is my first 50 episodes drama, but that one's still airing). I guess I was bored.

Anyways, coming to my opinion on this drama, I loved it (I guess that's pretty obvious from my ratings. lol). This drama didn't drag for me at all. I didn't skip anything. The relationships were so beautiful. The father-daughter relationship full of emotions that every daughter can relate to. I mean, let's face it, at some point we've all fought with our dads. But we still love them unconditionally. That's how kids are programmed into this world (wait, did I just quote Anastasia Grey? I think I did). Obviously, things between Seoyoung and her dad are at another level. But she still loves him and their reconciliation is beautiful. There are other amazing relationships that took my breath away. The brother-sister, the husband-wife. I loved Seoyoung's mother-in-law and OMG HER BRO-IN-LAW IS SOO HOT!! I really like him (not just because he's hot though, lol).

I can't believe Seoyoung felt so lonely when all these people were in her life, loving her and encouraging her in their own ways. Her husband is just..PERFECT. I think I'm going to rewatch this whole drama in a couple of decades. In fact, I think I'm going to buy this on DVD. All the high tv ratings for this drama aren't for nothing. This drama fully deserved them. One of my favorites. read more
