Great!

I have no complaints about this drama. I think it does lack music compared to most of the dramas I've seen but I understand why, I think a lot of music in scenes wouldn't suit this drama. I love the storyline, I feel like I have a reason to suspect almost everyone. The cast is also incredible! Any drama starring Ok Taecyeon is a masterpiece and he's one of my fave actors, he's so versatile and expressive. Ha Seokjin is new to me and he's very impressive, especially the way his acting flows naturally. EunJi is also new to me and she did really well and made her character feel very real. Overall, I love the vibe of the drama. I love how everytime a new episode comes out, I understand more of the story but at the same time I start suspecting more and more people. Definitely worth watching for me. the plot has a way of making every character suspicious but at the same time not suspicious. There's great details and the way the actors portrayed their roles just made it even better. 9/10 at least for me. I know many people dislike "loop holes" but personally I dont care about that stuff. the drama is thrilling so I love it. Personally I kind of hope Sungjun (male lead) has disassociative identity disorder or like a spilt personality because sometimes he seems very evil to me and sometimes he feels very sincere. I feel like he also doesnt remember much at some moments.
I really like SungJun and SungHoon so far so I hope they expand on their relationship and I kind of want to see some wholesome moments between them. Anyway, I love how this show is going and I cant wait for next episode!

edit: after watching episode 4,5,6 I changed my mind. I dont like this show, I love it! I also love that Sung Jun always tries to joke around with his brother, I find that funny especially when his brother reacts awkwardly or seriously. I really like it, especially the scene when Sung Jun hugged his brother in episode 6 even though his brother didnt hug back. I hope to see more of their relationship and Im loving the story. Sung Jun is either the killer who had disassociative identity disorder and doesnt remember doing it OR he is just very unlucky and always just happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Edit: I finished this drama while it was airing but forgot to update my review. So my final thoughts are, I quite like teh ending. It did surprise me but I think it was fitting and I can easily conclude that blind is my favorite crime/mystery drama! Strongly reccomend. I know it has some plot holes, but it's a very fun and interesting watch for fans of murder mystery.

Really good

I actually love this drama! It was extremely entertaining, emotional and had no boring parts. Ill start with the plot.
Many people dislike the unrealistic plot of this drama but I really like it, especially the way they executed it. A student being kicked out for school violence and returning to school years later for revenge only to find out one person who betrayed him became a teacher and the other a chairman of the same school.. I think the drama itself was very well done, It was funny, it was very emotional and full of angst in my opinion and really brought a lot of complex topics together. I loved the concept of students and the pressure they were under. A lot of dramas explore this topic but I love the way my strange hero did this. They romance scenes were cute and i loved how the relationship between the main couple originally formed. It was simple and realistic but also very well done. The sad scenes of the drama were very impactful and upsetting, the comedy was lighthearted and enoyable. Overall I love the story of the drama and the way it was executed. It was very consistent and entertaining, they new exactly what to do and where to do it.
the cast-
Yoo Seung Ho was great, he had a very nostalgic style of acting in my opinion. The highlight of his character was his smile and impactful performance.
Jo Bo Ah was new to me but she did really well. Even though Soo Jeong had many flaws, Bo Ah made her feel very real and sympathetic. Her performance was great and very believable.
Kwak Dongyeon was incredible! By far my favorite role by my favorite actor. I've noticed he's very good at playing tragic characters and he did amazing here. I have so much sympathy for Oh Se Ho. The little details he added to his performance, his sad and forced smile and the pain in his voice when he yelled was heartbreaking. He truly created that tense, overwhelming and sad atmosphere around him. I absolutely loved every scene he was in and enjoyed this role too much.
Special mentions for Kim Yeo Jin who is fantastic in playing villains and made me hate her character so much. The actor for Mr, Park was an amazing teacher and a very emotional yet funny actor, he's a true example of teachers being true heroes. I always have a lot of respect for teachers because I've had many good teachers in my life who all really scared about students.

The cast of this show was so amazing, they all brought too much emotion to their characters to the point I personally cared about every character. I think that even though the plot of this drama was quite interesting, untilmately it was the characters that truly brought the story to life and added so much emotion to this drama.The actor for Chaemin and the ivy class were also great and really created that tense forced atmosphere.
Every character was written very well and built up very well. The main 3 characters (Bo Su, Soo Jeong and Se Ho) were all build very well and I loved how the flashbacks slowly but consistently peeled off the layers of their friendship and really made us sympathise and understand each character. Each one of them had their moments of hurt and pain. Soo Jeong seemed very remorseless for what she did for a while but slowly, we began to understand her and why she felt and acted the way she did.

Same with Se Ho, he was developed very well and his character made a lot of sense. I could talk for hours about him. He was 2nd in the school out of 300 kids but his mom was never proud or satisfied of him despite how good his marks were. Then he saw Bok Su who got really terrible grades but was adored by his friends and family. Bok Su had literally everything Se Ho never had despite how hard he worked. He was a very awkward kid with an abusive mother so naturally he never had many friends or healthy relationships so he didnt realize that it was normal of him to feel jealous of Bok Su. I think he couldnt understand why he felt this way towards his friend and that was the beginning of his hatred. He thought Bok Su was a bad person for making him feel so miserable when in reality it was his mothers fault all along. I ended up feeling awful for him and admiring how he changed.
It was also cool to see how much Bok Su managed to inspire the students or wildflower class, he truly proved that good marks do not make a good future and that school was really a safe and fun space for many kids which is actually something I never really thought about. At first I agreed that students who arent good at school should find an alternative but Bok Su really had a point. School is important for other reasons, namely friendship, social experience and just fun.

I was a little bit sad with the ending, I understand why Bok Su didnt forgive Se Ho but I feel like he was kinda harsh even though Se Ho tried really hard to mae up for his mistakes. Se Ho's last scene seemed inda unfulfilling. It was great that he matured so much and forgave his mom but he was all alone in that empty looing place. It felt lie he was as alone as he was in all his other scenes. I wish they showed him as being a less lonely person because he changed so much. It felt like he still had no one on his side. But I loved seeing his face look so peaceful, he normally looks so hurt and angry but finally he found peace.

Other than that, I found the ending quite nostalgic but also very satisfying. It felt like a pretty much perfect end. I often feel unhappy with ending of Dramas especially when they show the end years later but this one was great! everyone grew up but it showed that nothing had really changed.
It was a nice feel good drama. It was funny, cute and involved a lot of serious topics. The plot may initially sound strange, but its executed amazingly and it really shines in its characters.

This drama deserves the quote "and they all lived happily ever after"

This drama also had good OST and music. Some music sounded like action music, I loved the sad violin music they had and it really made the mood.

There fore, I love this Kdrama! 9/10, definitely recommend!

I love this drama!

Hwarang is the first Kdrama I ever watched, mainly because of Taehyung but I had no idea how much i'd love it. It introduced me to the Kdrama world and showed me how incredible Kdramas are. It has every aspect. comedy, romance, brotherhood and even a war aspect.
I really loved Park Hyungsiks character (the king) and all the other main characters too. They made such a funny group.
The plot of this drama is also really interesting and makes you wanna know what happens next. It has really amazing music and introduced me to some of my fave OST including "dream" and "my tears".
it has great romance and great action scenes too.
Definitely recommend

Perfect sequel

I absolutely loved "Tale of the nine tailed" season 1 so when I found out a season 2 was coming, I was really excited. Especially when I found out it was set in the past. But even though I was excited to see what this new season had to offer, I never expected to love it so much, In fact, I never expected to love a sequel as much as the original season.
Tale of the nine tailed 1983 is hilarious! I enjoyed every moment. It was also very emotional and the finale when Yeon fought the villan was just perfect in everyway. I also loved the setting. The antique, fancy vibe was very pleasing and pretty to watch.

The plot of this season is just amazing. It perfectly mixes together many different genres and plot points and also expands a lot on the things we learned in season 1. I know the time travel trope to catch the thief or a magical object was pretty cliche but it was worth it to see Yeon back in time. Firstly, even though I loved Yeon and Ji Ah's romance in season 1, it kind of seemed like she was the only person who truly mattered to Yeon. Yes I know he cared a lot for his brother, Shin Ju and even the old hag but at the end of the day, Yeon's whole purpose in life was to search for his love and he spent 600 years doing this. It felt like his life was purely dedicated to only her and even though I thought they were great together, I wish we saw more of Yeon besides his love for Ji Ah and this season perfectly gave that. In this season, we got to see Yeon without Ji Ah, We were introduced to his old friends, got to see more of his relationship with Rang and learned more about his childhood. It felt very nostalgic and beautiful to see him reconnect with his childhood best friends and it added many more amazing characters. We got to meet other mountain spirits and saw many more magical items.

I also love the Japanese colonial period setting. I know many people think its too controversial but since I never knew much about it before watching this drama, I was very intrigued. i think it added a great side plot and it made the drama feel more diverse and interesting because besides Korean they also added Japanese actors and characters and that felt cool to me because I never really watched and Japanese dramas before.
And of course, I loved seeing Yeon and Rang bond. I know their ending in season 1 was very touching, but it didnt quite feel enough. To see Yeon and Rang truly grow to love eachother and look out for eachother in this season was really fun because they spent most of season 1 fighting. I loved seeing their brotherly love and the way they were always there for eachother.
Rang and the mermaid were really cute together too, Im glad he finally gets a romance plot!

The actors are as always, perfect. Lee Dong Wook keeps impressing me. He's perfect as Lee yeon, there's something about his face and his acting that just feels so unreal and magical. perfect for a mountain spirit!
The actors for Hong Ju and Moo Yeong were both new to me but they were also perfect in their roles, and of course Kim Beom was as amazing as ever.

The OST's were just as good as season 1. I loved all the songs and music in this drama, especially the OST they played whenever showing flashbacks of Yeon's past with his friends. It was very nostalgic and sweet.

I keep rewatching this drama and I have not a single complaint about it! I love the ending too. I was sad that Yeon would have to leave, but the past version of himself taking his place really made it feel like a perfect ending.
So basically, this season is a must watch! I love everything about it. Its very different from season 1, but in the best way. 10/10!!

Comedy gold!!

I absolutely love this drama. Its just comedy gold and its not tacky or cringy at all. The actors all did really great and Im so happy to see Kwak Dongyeon with a main role. This drama is just so fun to watch from beginning to end and the story is great. The romantic aspects look realistic yet also classic and hilarious at the same time. There are no boring or flat scenes. Lee Sangshik and Cha Na Rae are both hilarious and have great chemistry, not to mention none of the characters annoy me. Definitely a 10/10 from me.
The music is also great, This show manages to mock all Kdrama cliches and stereotypes and they know exactly where to put comedy. The word plays are really well done and so are all the funny scenes. It's seriously the best RomCom in the world.
Very fun to watch

phenomenal

Some people may think that giving it a 10/10 is a bit of a stretch but it's really not. The best kdrama i have ever seen and Easily one of the best shows I've ever seen. Everything was a straight 10 for me.

Firstly, the cast. I actually had never seen any of these actors before which was surprising since I usually watch Kdrama's where there's an actor I admire or like and that leads me to more actors and more dramas. For Vincenzo, I purely watched for the plot since I wanted a new drama to watch. The cast of Vincenzo was perfect by far.
Song Joonki was amazing as Vincenzo. He has that lasting look in his eyes that make him look like a strong character that's been through a lot. he portrayed Vincenzo so well and I was really impressed. He gave me mafia vibes.
Ok Taecyeon was incredible. Watching him in Vincenzo made me binge watch all his other dramas and he is one of my fave actors now. He was actually terrifying in Vincenzo, he played his character flawlessly and expressed a psycopath really well. His eye's were on point and caught the craziness of his character. Jang Han Seok is a scary and over dramatic villan so I think it would mess up his character if he wasnt played very well but Taecyeon played him perfectly. He managed to make the villan funny in a crazy and over-the-top comical way and made it natural at the same time. Not to mention the way he switched personalities so quickly. so intense. very impressive
Jeon Yeobin was really funny and made a perfect Chayoung. she was quite sassy and stubborn, at the same time she was determined and straightforward. I loved her character and didnt find her annoying at all. She seems like a really funny person behind the scenes as well. Vincenzo and Chayoung were a perfect couple
Kwak Dongyeon played a very versatile character and was also really impressive. Definitely the perfect Han Seo, after he befriended Vincenzo there was a change in his entire vibe and it was clear that he was beginning to step up. he acted that out so well and so many people ended up loving his character. He had great stage chemistry with Taec and they worked together so well. I would love to see him have more lead roles
The supporting roles such as Choi Myunghee and Han Seunghyuk were also played flawlessly. Myunghee and Han Seok make an amazing team. Myunghee is an evil genius and Han Seunghyuk was great for some comic relief. he was a funny character played really well. I also enjoyed Seo Miri and Mr. Nam's roles very much.

Then the plot. The plot was so well thought out from beginning to end. the cinematography of the show and effects were also great. I love how the show perfectly portrayed the fact that there are no hero's and villans. everyone is good and bad. the mafia quotes from Vincenzo were really inspiring. I love the theme of revenge too. The way Vincenzo got revenge on everyone was genius. The antagonists died in such a ironic and satisfying yet brutal way. The whole story was so thrilling, especially the courtroom scenes.
Something about Vincenzo that made it so enjoyable to me was that... It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. As people have pointed out, this drama has quite a lot of plot holes and ridiculous moments but that's one of the reasons I love it. It's so dramatic, crazy and entertaining. I can just sit there and chill while watching it instead of having to loose braincells trying to figure out mastermind plot dramas (*cough* Mouse *cough*). It let's me just chill and have fun watching, it's not some crazy genius murder mystery, it's pure drama gold. It's also very emotional at some scenes.

I generally love the idea of Babel, a corrupt company. I love that Jang Joonwoo acted like such a foolish and cute intern then turned out to be the real villan. Watching Vincenzo and Chayoung try to defeat Babel was very fun and interesting.
The music and OST (original soundtrack) were perfect. This drama really blew up when it came to the music and it has some of my fave OST's ever especially "Adrenaline" and the classic violin music that was showcased at the first scene. The music was outstanding and really created the atmosphere and vibe of the show.
the sets were really grand and beautiful and the mafia aspects were done really well. The grandness of the sets really set up the show beautifully.
another part of Vincenzo that I really love is the Jang Brother's. I loved their relationship. even though Han Seok abuses his brother, he still seems to care about him a tiny bit in his own twisted way. At least thats how I see it, I think they're relationship is really interesting Dongyeon and Taec nailed their roles. I would've loved to see more of them
Everything about this drama is phenomenal and Its completely worth watching. It had a great amount of everything and was perfect in every aspect. Vincenzo and Chayoung made an amazing couple. The scenes in the courthouse were so fun to watch. some bits are very lighthearted, there's a lot of comedy, there's a lot of action.
we all have different taste and this drama was totally for me! it is a GEM and I could talk for hours about why I love it so much. I love how Han Seok is a true villan, he's not just some sad villan who had a bad life. His childhood probably was kind of messed up but he is still remorseless. I even love the slapstick comedy and I found it hilarious. Perfectly written and executed, not to mention the amount of incredible actors I discovered from this show. I kinda dont want a part 2, The show is perfect like this. There was some romance but not a lot so it didnt take over the story.
The female lead also didnt try to change the male lead into a good person. she supported Vincenzo for who he was and teamed up with him. she fell in love with him for who he is, she didnt try to make him a better person. She accepted him even though he killed and tortured people. I think they had a very good relationship. Vincenzo was also very respectful to her and they seem like a genuine couple.
It's also very unique and cool to see that Vincenzo is still the same man at the end of the show, his love for Chayoung didn't change who he was. He's still an anti hero and proud of it!
Also, I frankly dont care that Vincenzo and Chayoung could only see eachother once a year. Vincenzo is a murderer and a torturer and in my perspective, he is a horrible person . Im glad he and Chayoung were seperated, he deserved some sort of punishment for acting as if he gets to judge people. It was satisfying to see the villans die in such poetic ways.
Perfect drama! 10/10. I enjoyed every moment of it and frankly, I feel so blessed that this drama exists. I could watch it over and over. I could even say it's a cinematographic masterpiece, no exaggeration. I can definitely understand why it wouldnt be everyone's favirout, but personally, I have no complains about this work of ART whatsoever.

A copypasted masterpiece!

My demon is a good drama, in my opinion. It was fairly enjoyable, visually gorgeous, quite funny and generally held up well. It has a very attractive main cast, wonderful special effects, a pretty compelling plot and likeable characters.
Many people complain about the acting but i actually thought it was pretty good most of the time.
It does have many flaws. My demon is extremely predictable, full of Kdrama cliches and generally gives you a huge sense of deja vu. While watching it, i was constantly reminded of other Kdramas such as: Goblin, buisness proposal, heartbeat, and tale of the nine tailed (also many other popular Kdramas.)
My demon seemed to possess the supernatural charm and visuals of 'tale of the nine tailed', humor and cliches of 'buisness proposal' and romance and plot of 'goblin' and 'heartbeat'.
There are many similarities between my demon and these Kdramas, from general cliche tropes to downright copypasting scenes and dialogue. (Example, the scene were Gu Won "dies" in the second last episode is almost identical to the scene in goblin where the goblin Kim Shin dies. They are both held by the female lead as their bodies disintegrate into tiny particles. Another example is the scene where Do Hee is falling off a tall building and Gu Won catches her, which is almost the same as the scene from tale of the nine tailed where the 2 leads do the same thing. Not to mention, the humor of the show in general really reminds me of buisness proposal.)
There are also just general cliche tropes such as the main character dying before magically coming back to life in the very next episode, psychopath villain, maain characters having a fight due to a stupid misunderstanding ect.
But despite all these things, my demon is somehow still a good drama in my eyes because it does manage to put all these cliches together quite well and also shines in its own ways in certain episodes. I think the main couple had great chemistry, the humor was spot on most of the time, as previously said the special affects were beautiful and in general, it was a fun drama. I'd say, go head and give it a try. My demon is nothing special, but it works well with what it has and gives you a sort of nostalgic feeling (like deja vu) and though it is very cliche, that doesnt necessarily make it bad.
My demon is unoriginal, yet alluring and worth watching once

Iconic

Dream high is a very impressive, inspiring and entertaining drama and it's very worth watching. I liked it a lot more than I expected, I was of course, very impressed with the cast. This drama has the most incredible cast i've ever seen, the main 6 roles were taken by some of the biggest names in Korea. Bae Suzy, Ok Taecyeon, Kim Soohyun, IU, Jang Wooyoung, Ham Eunjung and even JYP himself. Some of the most popular and legendary kdrama actors and idols today. I already knew most of the cast prior to watching the drama and I was really excited because I admire them all a lot. The acting in this drama was really good, especially considering that most of the cast were rookies here, they all did very well and made the drama feel very real and impactful. each actors performace was wonderful.
One of my favorite thigs about "dream high" is the character development and story progression. This drama did very good job at developing characters and making the grow, For example, I hated Go Hye Mi in the first few episodes, She was truly the most irritating female leads i'd ever seen . She had a terrible personality and I was certain I would never like her, but as the story progressed, she actually improved alot, Not only that, she was forced to accept that her past behaviors were wrong and face the consequences by not being able to debut early. She became alot nicer and alot more likeable, I actually ended up liking her. She had a very natural but very effective character development. The same could be said for ms, Shi who was quite a ruthless teacher who taught in a not-so-advisable way. But she was forced to face the consequences when her own student turned into a cheater and a liar because of her and her teachings. She became a very good teacher who inspired students and supported them when they were having a hard time.
Another thing I really enjoyed were the showcase performances, namely Jin Guk and Baek Hee's duo performance, I'm a big fa of Taec and his rapping and dancing skills that were displayed in this drama were amazing, Baek Hee and Jin Guks first showcase performance was my favorite, it was so powerful and the outfits and makeup were really eye catching. The song sounded great and the dancing was amazing from both of them.
The music in this drama also added many emotions to it. Especially the main OST "dream high" which I really loved. Every time it played, the scene was enjoyable and fun. The songs, especially the one that Hye Mi ad Baek Hee sung in their auditions were also great.
The story progression was really good too. Everytime I thought that things might get boring, something new was added such as Jin Guks assault scandal or Sam Dongs ear injury. The story was always fresh and it just kept getting more interesting. The progression was smooth and constant. There was never a boring moment, the story was always taking new turns and the plot was really captivating for me.
I admit, I was a bit disappointed with Hye Mi and Sam Dong ending up together because I truly thought Hye Mi would end up with Jin Guk. I really shipped them and I still think they were much better together, they had many moments and connections but I guess I understand why she chose Sam Dong, he was always there for her and always protected her. But still, I think Hye Mi and Jin Guk were just better together.
Jason and Pilsuk were adorable though, definitely my fave couple in dream high. Jason was a total gentlemen, who wouldnt fall for him? they both were just so cute together and Jason encouraged her to loose weight so she could debut even though he liked her either way. Pilsuk was really sweet too and she had a beautiful voice, I find it so funny that she carried around a doll of Jason and he never noticed she liked him.
Basically, I have a lot to say about this drama so I tried to sum it up. I'd give it a 9/10, might seem a bit high but I think its well deserved. I like this drama alot, its very worth watching at least once!

Simply Extraodinary!

Extraordinary you will always be in my top 5 Kdramas! It was so refreshing and everything about it was captivating from start to end. Most of the actors didnt have much experience at the time this drama was filmed, so it was impressive how good their performances were.
The plot is just so interesting. It has a common story of "fighting to change your fate" but it's done perfectly. It's very funny, interesting, dramatic and adds so much magic and flavor to the typical high school romance story. Though I believe that destiny can't be changed, this drama was still very inspiring and uplifting, The fact that it revolved around characters being in a comic was already very interesting but they also added even more side plots like the female leads unhappy engagement, her forced personality in the comic book, her new love interest. It was all just so entertaining and never got boring. All the characters have such distinct personalities and the music and OST's are amazing!
This drama has so much to offer and i'd definitely sat it's a must watch for anyone who enjoys K-dramas. It's fresh, entertaining and easy to rewatch. 9.5/10!!

Must watch!

Wow. There's a lot I can say about this drama, but I'll start off by saying; Tale of the nine tailed is one of my all time favorite Kdramas and I enjoy watching it over and over again. It's probably my favorite fantasy drama ever! It has everything, a beautiful story, dramatic scenes, good music, great acting (and really good looking actors, I know that's a big bonus for people)
The plot intrigued me from the very beginning. Im usually not a huge fan of romance dramas, but this one is an exception. Lee Yeon and Nam Ji Ah were a perfect couple. They had so much chemistry, I love the back story of Yeon and Ah Eum too. It was very touching. These 2 were just constantly supporting eachother and there was something so magical about their romance. It felt so right and so real, the emotions in this drama were on point! I love the constant rain scene they show with Yeon giving Ji Ah and umbrella, it just feels so romantic. Also, Yeon is the definition of loyalty and I find him quite inspiring in that sense. I generally just love their love story,
Like everyone else, I really love Lee Rang and Lee Yeon. I do love brotherhood in Kdramas, especially evil siblings, lol. In a way, they really remind me of Stefan and Damon from "the vampire diaries". They may fight like dogs, but at the end of the day, they'd die for eachother. Even though Rang always claimed to hate his brother, in the end he was the who who saved Yeon and I loved seeing their connection deepen through the series.
The villan is also very interesting. The serpant, who has a unique ability to cause death and chaos by just touching people.
And of course, the old hag. She was really annoying sometimes, but deep down she loved Yeon and it was very touching to see.
The cast just feels perfect. Lee Dong Wook really seems to suit fantasy dramas, there's just someone so unreal and beautiful about him and IU love his character here. The orange hair suits him well too and his acting as always, was one point.
Jo Bo Ah was amazing as always too. The first drama I saw her in was actually "my strange hero", not this one. But her performance in tale of the nine tailed was so memorable and impressive that whenever I think of her this drama immediately comes to mind.
Kim Bum was probably the most impressive to me. Lee Rang was my favorite character and I think no one could have played him better than Kim Bum. In one scene, he could perfectly play an evil menace and in the next he could make us feel so much sympathy for his character.
The music adds so much emotion to the scenes, especially my favorite OST "Parting at the river of three crossings". It's just beautiful and adds magic to every scene. Everytime it starts playing, I instantly fall in love with the scene. And there are so many other good OST's this drama has to offer.
So, in conclusion, I LOVE tale of the nine tailed. I don't think there's anything I specifically dislike about this drama. I definitely recommend for people who enjoy fantasy and romance. Tale of the nine tailed perfectly ties together many different tropes and genres and creates a beautiful captivating story.

Not impressed but not bad

seriously, I hate leaving reviews on Drama's before finishing them but this is just no. Straight off from episode 1 I was just not impressed. Episode one was all over the place for me. It was messy and irritating. It began getting a bit more interesting when they began introducing the idea to identify psychopaths' before they were born. The psycopath gene and genius gene was quite interesting but it just went downhill again.
Episode 2 on the other hand was great! I loved watching that kid and his past, the fact that he scratched his own arm just to control his irritation to others was great. then again it began going down and I nearly dropped the show like 5 times. Ep 3 was mid.
Episode 4 was incredible! the 7 deadly sin's part was genius, I never would have thought of that. The whole news broadcast in ep 4 was perfection, I would rewatch that episode alone. Then again the rest was just pathetic and messy.
after episode 4 the rest was unbareable. I HATE Bong Yi will all my heart. She irritates me beyond words. she was unbearable, I hate characters like her.
Sung Yo Han totally saved the show for me. Definitely my fave character, The second they killed him I knew this show would be crap. The whole brain surgery thing was where I almost gave up entirely.
Even though I hate it, I will finish the show because I have dignity. If by some chance I end up likin the rest of the show I will update my review and change my rating but at this point, I wont be able to rate in higher than a 5. I adore thriller and crime mystery drama but this one is just not for me,

edit: Oh my god!! I am so happy i decided to continue. the plot twist in ep 14 was pure GOLD. who wrote this script?? some sort of mastermind probably. My rating went up from 5 to 7.5. Amazing
