I was liking it but it kinda lost its wholeness. 1) I still cannot pinpoint when he did fall in love with her; 2) the lead actor looks good on screen but his acting is sort of forced - like the when he smiles, it is like asking somebody to say "cheese";; 3) the director was showing that Mr. BLack's team had it all together and yet there were allot of like unnecessary mistakes they made as a team as they make the revenge; 4) the 5 years in the plot seems unrealistic, and is not cohesive to the whole story (I'm trying not to divulge the story here); 5) the revenge/twist - I've had enough of it... They could have ended this at 16 eps; 6) the evil guy was first very composed in the beginning and then at the end they made him laugh the "evil laugh" , like totally out of character; 7) this guy got out in 2 years of being in prison and they go back to the couple ( it was obvious, it was not even in the same time frame)

This is still watchable, but when it comes to crimes, laws, the story has to be really tight. The twists in the story was pretty good, but I can only take so much "twisting" before I begin to just say, just get on with it... So, yes, I do have gripes about it but I have seen worst dramas.

I do not understand the very LOW rating. I have seen worse dramas. It was over all okay, entertaining, just don't think logically (well it is has a theme of fantasy). I have to admit, it did kept me on my toes. This was a good break from RomCom dramas which was getting so ho hum. The antagonist is just pure evil. Okay, now the part that I did not like, the actress, this was just too difficult for her to portray. It was just lack luster. If they have lengthen the drama, I would have probably dropped it. It was getting too difficult to watch her acting...

The secret to watching this drama is taking a break, don't let this consume your life, just for leisure. The ending could have been better and could have explained more of what happened. Yes, there are plot holes but it was watchable for me.

It was torture watching the "unnatural" acting of Kim Ju Hyuk and the one expression of the lead actress. He was trying too hard to act the "dumb" person. After so many obstacles and revenge plots between the 2 lead actors, it got tiring after awhile, so it kinda got slow and irritating midway. I had th skip 4 epsiodes and just watch the ending. So every episode, something will come up against Kim Ju Hyuk, gets resolved and then another cycle begins. This just goes on and on for about 7-10 of the episodes. And I was hoping to enjoy it when I saw the good ratings... So I am one of the few that regrets watching it.

I loved it... At first I wasn't sold on the alien thing (first episode), but once I got passed it. I could not stop watching. I wanted to finish it badly but my eyes can only take 3-4 episodes at a time, plus the world is still turning so I have responsibilities to do besides finishing a 21 episode drama.

By the way, I did not watch this based on movie actors and actresses... I don't even know them, I watched purely for the story and it got me hooked.

Bottom line, fun, light, funny, little drama (not too heavy) and romance, so if you are looking for the next ROMCOM to watch, this will fit the bill. =)

It was exciting to watch it at first, but after awhile it was just too much frustration after the other... If this was a romcom, I would actually "forgive" the unrealistic plot but this was a crime-suspense-love story so there must be a logic. For all that Kim Mu Yeol does - why he never goes to jail or why the girl (Lee Shi Young) detective is always alone in doing her job and why he is always the one to tag along.

The action fights were very well executed, Kim Mu Yeol, was flawless in his fights.

I just had very high expectations due to the high ratings. Later on the excitement in the beginning was not the same anymore, it just became unrealistic and the unprofessionalism of the lead detective was just too much for me because after all this is a Police Detective story. Cruel City is much better and the momentum was there.

I was ready to like it because of the high ratings, I have to give it a 7 because I finished it. It just did not give me that feeling of real enjoyment. There is something about the movement of the drama, some scenes were just too long, it could have been just a few seconds but it was minutes...also 1) the lead girl's voice is annoying -high pitched 2) the rap song was driving me crazy 3) there was so many flashbacks that this could have been just 16 episodes 4) it did become draggy 5) the ending was sooo long, his closure on his "personalities" was just too much. I love the brother, though. ;)

I wanted to give this a high rating because it did kept me on my toes and I just had this hatred with the antagonist in each episode - I mean they were unbelievably without conscience lets say. Yong Pal should not be the title of the drama since he did not "maintain" this role for long time in the drama.

It is just too much revenge for me that after I watched the whole drama, I felt like a dork, following all the evil plots after plots. This critic for me is the same for Innocent Man.

Acting: was awesome
Music: just right, my standard is, as long as it doesn't irritate my ears and it is not repetitive
Rewatch: Nope, its just too much vengeful spirit.

The ending was great, but they really saved it for the last.... If that did not happen, I will be extremely frustrated...

I love the story here because the romance really clicked. JKS and Yoon Ah had a very good chemistry and it seems that this is JKS power spot when it comes to roles in dramas... I was not fond of the first 4 episodes, and the subplot romance because it was just too drama and made the whole thing drag and ofcourse longer. The younger romance is much more fun to watch...
The music made it also fun to watch because it is not like other dramas where they just repeat the same song over and over again. The fact that it was just a background music, fun beat helped in "making" the scenes...
Also, I re-watch this because it is a light, fun and a romantic drama, once you know which part you want to fast forward. ;)
It is not a regret to watch unlike other dramas where you just hated yourself after finishing the whole thing.

The beginning episode was not that catchy and was deceiving because it did not really kindle my interest to watch it further, so I dropped it for awhile. I tried it again and it does have a different and interesting twist in story. So it is worth watching because 1) the plot is unique and interesting 2) the music is not irritating and not repetitive 3) it is only 16 episodes 4) the actors/actresses did a very good job. My only qualm is the lead actor, nothing against him but I could barely see his eyes, it is just so squinty but his acting is superb. I do not understand him in the romantic aspect because he barely expresses it and if he does it was in a very awkward way. His brother in the story was superb, he acted the part well, he was torn within himself...
