How the heck can this plot go from action-oriented to fluffy at the end, puzzles me. It almost became like another drama because everything seems to miraculously smooth out, after the all the crimes that happen. The plot just went downhill, the leading couple, acted like teenagers and it was just too fluffy for the age they are portraying. Cruel City was more realistic in portraying gang life, I don't know the whole thing just did not mesh right. It is still watchable but at the end, I felt like what the heck did I just watch? At least with other dramas like "You're Beautiful" you know from the get go, that it is a romcom but this one was just from thug life ------ romcom, it did not work for me.

I semi-loved it. I dropped it at the beginning because the first episode was not catchy enough for me, so I gave it another chance and I began to "like" it. It is a love story, more of a dramatic love story... There is joy, anger and pain in this drama but as I watch this, I cannot help but like the college couple better. There is just something about the acting of the lead actress, Kim Sa Rang, that ruin it a tad bit... Her face has no expressions, no emotions, it is just a straight face, she was also kinda awkward in some romantic scenes. But the lead the actor Joo Jin Mo was a very good actor, he has emotions and he can translate it in his acting.

Some of the scenes, especially in the latter part, became kinda slow... the crying, well they cried and cried and cried...

In the latter part of the drama, where they were enjoying each others company, they acted a little childish, I mean they were adults already for goodness sake -- will adults really chase each other in circles and pretend to throw a stone?

The ending, was not so fulfilling. It was just lacking the intensity that the writers have built up. I wish they expounded more on the other relationships and how it has was resolved. So it is not a total love, just semi-love of the drama.

It wasn't a "fulfilling" drama ta watch. I am kinda upset at myself for watching it. This drama was made to "sell" Lee Min Ho's popularity, this was more of a promotional choice, rather than being a decent drama. Story was dragging, this should have been 16 eps. But die-hard fans won't mind as it focuses on them being "eye candy". I am not a fan of the lead actress, her acting is the same in other dramas (always pathetic!). Over all this drama was a commercial drama, very little depth. And the music, man it was killing me! Also they do not look like High School students - more like college but not high school. Arghhhh! I wasted my time ????. Sooo I should have believed the LOW ratings.

Romantic and Sweet. It has soooo many sweet moments that just makes your heart flutter! Of course, the lead actor is just too adorable (I like him in his other drama where he was a prince - Love in the Moonlight ) but at the same time he can act!!! When he cries, you just want to give him a hug and it just pains you to watch him go through it. There was some slow moments but not that bad. I also appreciated the supportive and loving friends and family that the lead male role had (healthy family relationship for once in a Kdrama!!!) Overall, the story was not extraordinary, the selling point is that their honest, sweet, vulnerable moments that captures your heart! So YES, watch it if you like this genre.

This is one of those dramas for me, that you keep watching, knowing that there is no depth to it. Since I have invested time already in it midway, I was wanting a good ending or lets say happy or else I would have been furious at myself. The ending was quite satisfactory but really the plot sucks.

This is more a fantasy swept off your feet romance and the problems in the story just easily disappears or was solved. The plot is so unrealistic. So some reality check here. I do not like the lead actress and how she acts. So this is more of a shallow rom/com, trying to insert the drama. It wasn't worth the hours.

There was never a dull moment in any episode. I think I even watched 6 episodes in one sitting. That is how good it was. I never knew who Ji Chang Wook was until I watched this drama, I was impressed with his acting and I love how he becomes the confident Healer. How the story unfolded was just right. It did not drag at all. The romance factor was realistic, none of this rich and poor girl/guy thing. It is a breath of fresh air from the other Korean dramas that I have seen. Now, this is worth watching, compared to that dumb Heirs that I just watched (yep I am still mad!).

I really enjoyed this drama, especially the first few episodes. I am a sucker for Romantic Comedy so this was a hit for me. It very much reminded me of Sungkyunkwan Scandal, but it had a different twist to it. The later episodes was more the politics -- so it kinda went draggy for me but not that bad. The Prince is just too eye candy and it is as if makes you forget that it is not a perfect drama. I felt the pain when the main couple are in pain - meaning their acting was superb. You just want their love to succeed in spite of the odds against them. There is just something captivating about dramas when a girl pretends to be a boy...
