Suzy Bae is one of my top favorite actresses and I love when she plays a strong character role but in this drama series, her character was weak. I guess not every drama script is for you. The storyline was cute but familiar with another drama. It seems the storylines of one drama to another drama are starting to be alike. The best part of this story was the halmeoni played by Kim Hae Sook. The other good thing about this drama was the actor Kim Seon, but I kind of felt sorry for the role he played. I feel Han Ji Pyung should have ended up with Dal Mi, he is the one that wrote the letters and the one that spent a significant time with Dal Mi. The focus was supposed to be on starting up a business but their passion was more about romanticism. I know life should have some type of romance in it. Let's be real, I don't blame any of the actors and actresses for the storyline, I have to blame the writer. I hope that Suzy Bae will pick a stronger role to suit her personality.

The one thing about this drama is that you will have to stay focused on every minute of these episodes. If you don't you will be lost and confused like I was at first. I still have to go back and watch Episodes 1-3. I finally caught on with the 4th episode. This was truly a drama but traumatic. If you don't like those types of dramas then I doubt you will like it. When I finally caught on to the storyline it does become a mystery of who did what and when. The writers did great on this storyline. The music was played over and over which was bothersome for me. Otherwise, I loved it!

Kim Hee Sun who played Yoon Tae Yi | Park Sun Young did very well and was very believable in her character.

Joo Won who played Park Jin Gyum was very good at making this character his own, I'm glad he kept up with his storyline!

Kwak Shi Yang who played Yoo Min Hyuk I really loved the way performed the baby daddy. The only thing there was one part that I laughed at when he ran. That's how focused I was on this character. I think the director messed up.

Anyway, enjoy it as I did.

I loved watching this, it had humor, emotional at times when women were kidnapped and caged. I'm glad how being kidnapped is horrific and thank you for bringing the awareness of violent crimes that happen to women. The storyline had it's ups and downs from comedy to seriousness. I wished that all women were strong too. The three main actors and one actress did especially well and of course, so did the supporting actors. I loved the visual and the martial art of Park Hyung Sik when he jumped on dudes' neck and flip to the ground. His vocals are off the top! I hope he doesn't stop singing! He is still young and very handsome. This the 2nd KDrama that I have seen him in.

The storyline was absolutely great! I enjoyed this drama series of suspense. Honesty, we must all learn that we don't get anywhere with lies. What a great lesson in this drama series. It's hard for me to understand that patients will die purposely to save a hospital. I'm having a hard time with that because of what we are going through now with COVID-19. The thousands of people who are dying in this world make me think and ask Why? This drama series done in 2014 has my mind spinning. The acting by Lee Jong Suk was incredible like he always is and so believable. Actresses Jin Se Yeon and Kang So Ra played their parts very well as well as actor Park Hae Jin. The elder actors were so believable that it scared me to the point that my head is spinning. Please watch Doctor Strangers and enjoy it as I did.

I loved this but for a minute, I thought it was a little too rocky! I felt the writers made the female character weak, complacent, and controllable by her ex and her mother. Seeing the historical Korean Dramas you see the mother or grandmother choose the husband to bring two regions together, I thought I would never see that happening in a modern-day story. This was kind of disappointing to me for a present-day story. I love the two main leads Son Ye Jin who played Yoon Jin Ah and Jung Hae In who played Seo Joon Hee. This is one of those dramas I wished I could've put my fist through the TV and slapped a couple of folks to their senses. Thank Goodness for Jin-A's brother. If it wasn't for the two main leads this drama would've failed and it would doubly fail if the ending didn't end up in disaster.

My first time watching a 4 episode Drama but I enjoyed it! It was calculating and was able to focus on something other than the coronavirus. Seo Joon Young was excellent at playing twins. The director/producer did great in having the twins together and it seemed real. Awesome Job for a 2013 drama. I said 4 episodes because one of the #3 episode, I couldn't view it because you weren't able to view it, missing, but it didn't matter the storyline was perfect. I wished they could remake this in 2020. That would be great.

The storyline had a lot of humor in it and I needed to laugh during this Worldwide Horrific coronavirus. This drama series did the trick. I laugh so hard in the first episode and other episodes where it kept my focus. Jang Keun Suk was awesome. I loved the character he played. Park Shin Hye, continuously surprises me in these roles, what a great job she did. Another awareness story is of children who have to grow up without their parents because of abandonment. I loved the hairdos of Jang Keun Suk and loved what they dressed him in. I mentioned in the last drama that I saw him in that he is amazing to be able to act and sing with his Bipolar Disorder, I applaud him. Jung Yong Hwa, I need to see more of him! Between Lee Hong Ki and Park Shin Hye, their comedy was off the chain. Thank you to everyone who participated in this drama series back in 2009. I enjoyed it.

"Twelve years, after dying in a car accident, Sung Hae Sung suddenly appears alive and well not having aged a day. With the help of his friends and his childhood love Jong Won, Hae Sung sets out to make things right for his family and solve the mysteries surrounding his death and resurrection".

I mean seriously, wouldn't y'all love to have someone you love to come back to life after death to fulfill and fix the problems they left behind and to solve family matters before they have to leave again. I lost my mom and this made me so emotional... I so wish!!! In my profile, I said if a drama can move me by tapping into my heart, passion, and emotions than the actors/actresses did their job. The writers had the right idea about bringing what love is about in after one dies that they had to come back to alive. wow *applauding*.

One of my favorite actors, Yeo Jin Goo, who played Sung Hae Sung, AMAZINGLY DONE! He took this role and gave it all he had just like he did in the "Crowned Crown". He has that single monolid eyes shining bright and he shows that shine in this piece which I so loved and those lips 'perfection"! I wished that they had an actress other than Lee Yun Hee, that would have played the same type of emotion YJG did, I mean she did okay on the emotional scenes, but I had a problem with her chemistry. She held herself back! I think she could've performed better. I tell you what though, Park Jin Joo, was awesome in her role, had me cracking and the Romance Chemistry between her and the Detective was there! The rest of the main, supporting, and guest cast especially was brilliant!

This was a great story, loved the ending, so I have to thank the writers. I know, I know most of you will not get off on this... but let your imagination run away with you. If you dream, you know what I mean!

Lies are Lies and I love how the screenwriter imagination in producing such a crazy way in ones lies. As always Lee Jong Suk is excellent as Ki Ha Myung. LJS is just a great actor all around and takes every character he plays in making that character his own. 20 episodes that kept me focused and not skipping or fast-forwarding scenes. He had great chemistry with leading lady Park Shin Hye. PSH is also a great actress and I loved how she made the hiccupping so real! Wouldn't it be great if truth can be told in this manner so you can tell who lies? I also felt good about the storyline with how they took down a few people who murdered again for power. I was very empathetic to the two brothers. Revenge is never good but someone didn't learn their lesson. As I always say, the storyline wouldn't have been a great storyline without the other main, support and guest actors/actresses. I was happy that LJS was able to do some martial arts but would have loved to see more.

In order for you to understand "Circle", you can't take your eyes off each episode, please don't skip any of them. I have to go back and rewatch. The main lead actor Yeo Jin Goo who played Kim Woo Jin did a great job with this character. It's a good thing he was the one acting because I would've gotten so confused. YJG has a lot of passion and his talent shows in this character. Kim Kang Woo who played the future character had me bawling my eyes out and if you can make me cry that is good acting. Gong Seung Yeon was kind of scary in how she played her character.

I mean they used a worm to erase memory, I have read stories about parasitic worms but umma this is some crazy stuff right there. Gross! Eww (not a vowel)!

The only problem I had with this Kdrama was they had fake Americans instead of real Americans, do you know how many Americans live in SK? But I am happy that at the end of the WOC they peacefully were united.

Lee Seung GI, just love this actor, his acting abilities are so on point! Something about his eyes and when he smiles, I smile, when he cries I cry when he laughs I laugh... his demeanor is just that way. He throws everything of himself into the character he plays. Does SK have a fountain of youth? Ha Ji Won could pass for a teenager but instead, she is a strong woman! I loved her in Secret Gardens as well, she is now on my top Korean Actress list.

Thank you to the rest of the team and cast! Y'all did great even the fake Americans. lol

Knowing that Lee Min Ho was playing in this drama that it would be a 10 rating. I believe in his acting and know it is great. Let me start with the storyline "on Point"! In two different periods of time, how hard can it be for the actors and actresses to play different eras of officials than con artists? Very hard if you ask me. Jun Ji Hyun did awesome playing the mermaid. I would love to see BTS on her being in the water (???). Lee Hoon Joon and Shin Won Ho deserve to be part of the main leads. I love how their characters stayed by Heo Joon Jae's side. Thanking the cast, crew, writers, and producers! Great visuals, music score, and costumes.

Before you see this KDrama research D.I.D. disorder so you will understand and rate this movie correctly because I don't understand the low ratings that I'm seeing on this website or others. The comments about the screenwriting being *shitty* are absurd.

I am so glad that this KDrama is not similar to what the U.S. profiles Jekyll and Hyde. The U.S. version is scary and gruesome. I believe that the writers took D.I.D. to another level and didn't twist this mental illness. I thank the writers for bringing a very important but sad mental illness to the Korean Screen. I noticed that some Korean Screenwriters bring a lot to the screen when it comes to mental illness with importance and bring about awareness.

Hyun Bin with his character playing two different types of personalities must have been difficult and he did that with excellence. I applaud Hyun Bin! He did so great that I even thought they were two different people but in the same body. How difficult is that! Han Ji Min who played her character had to deal with a personality whom she deeply loved and the other personality she had to tolerate was perfection and believable. To see their personalities merge was very emotional.

*Standing Ovation* for the whole Hyde, Jekyll, and Me team, cast, writers, producers, visual, costume, and sound.

Seriously outstanding, *applauding*. I mean everything about this KDrama is great! The action, even if you played the song *I Will Protect You" sung by Ji Chang Chook over and over, great song btw I will also play it over and over (lol), the visuals, the martial arts, the costumes, the hair! Let's talk about the action, the car chasing scenes "ON POINT"; the fighting scenes "ON POINT"; jumping and leaping from buildings "ON POINT"! Costumes: The outfits that Ji Chang Chook wore were "ON POINT"!

Ji Chang Chook will be on my fav KDrama list! His portrayal of Seo Jung Hoo was superb! Park Min Young's portrayal of Chao Yeong Shin was also superb! The Romance chemistry between these two was "ON POINT"! A very happy ending "the boy gets his girl" no matter what! I would love to see these two again.

Yoo Ji Tae who played Kim Moon Ho also did great and love the camaraderie he had with all the cast. All the cast did an awesome job in their roles even the mobsters or corrupt politicians.

What a great storyline! I enjoyed every episode that kept me on my toes, and my emotions and I did not skip over any episodes. This is what I love about this Kdrama. A must-watch!

Awareness is very Important! One word describes "WOW"! I love the storyline period. I swear Lee Joon Gi plays everything he has in what he does. The baby actress was sensational, her smile got to me. I'm glad that this Kdrama brought awareness to bone marrow transplant for Leukemia patients and how important it is! That procedure saves a lot of lives.

Thank you to the cast and everyone else that made this storyline very believable. Lee Joon Gi once again is brilliant and again his Martial Arts are the best. Lots of great action! I can usually guess who the bad guys are but this time you writers did fool me. I never expected the police investigator would ever turn over the camera to those who are corrupted. I should have guessed it Police Corruption is crazy in the U.S. and everywhere else and so are Political figures. Money is Greed, Greed leads to Violence! Greed leads to Corruption. Anyone can be bought if the money is right.
