A great storyline. Great Visuals on the first season. The storyline is a little bit different than what I'm used to viewing in these dramas. Coming back to life or being reincarnated with having the memories of the previous life in your dreams is a great story. The costumes I loved, were not gaudy by realistic for that time era. Thank you for not making the hairdo's so out there. The music was also great. My first time seeing Bolin Chen in the main lead, pretty awesome. Romance chemistry was there. I think all of the cast did great. One actress was so believable, I just wanted to snatch her off the screen and scold her... she played the spoiled brat to a tee! Great job. Thank you to the cast, producers writers, and team!

The storyline is perfect so thank you to the writer(s). The cast did phenomenal acting to bring this storyline to the front. It also brought up how the Judicial System can be broken and how someone in Power thinks they can get away with murder. The saying "Noone is Above the Law" by Lee Joon Gi and Seo Ye Ji in their acting skills made sure the quote is definitely true. This is not just about the storyline or the storyline could be fiction, this may not be a true story but the fact that this happens is indeed a fact.

Lee Joon Gi martial arts is A M A Z I N G! Love his acting abilities! No wonder he is so popular among his fans!

That rap song at the end, *Living in the City" by PULLIK music by Ma Sang-woo... LOVED IT! The Lyrics "Outstanding".

Everything was great about this drama series. The storyline had its ups and downs but it was consistent and stayed true to the story being told. Martial arts visual effects were on point. The costumes were not overly done but perfect for that time era. The romantic chemistry was there between the actors and actresses. Huang Xiao Ming who played Xiao-Ping Zhang was strong, very strong, I wished he would've not been killed so early., but it is what it is. Liu Haoran who played Xiao Ping Jing, wow, he domineered his role. Wu Hao Chen who played Xiao Yuan Qi, had me hating him if that was the case, he succeeded in playing the role given to him. The Female actress who played Huang Xiao Ming was very convincing in her role and she brought most of the chemistry. There was a happy ending in this drama which grabbed my heart the most. Thank you to Hai Yan for the writing of this storyline. Thanks to Kong Sheng and Li Xue, the Directors for making the story believable. Thanking the rest of the cast and team, well job done!

Luo Lin, Tiffany Tang. Yu Jiwei and Wang Tianchen were my favorites in this storyline. I don't understand why folks out there are rating this a 7... My focus was on this storyline. Has anyone ever felt a been there and done that when watching dramas? I already love Luo Lin and Tiffany Tang but I was awed by the actor Yu Jiwei who played Ning Ming. The emotions of Luo Lin made my emotions appear. Tiffany held it together when Luo became very emotional, I applaud her strength, after all, that is her husband in the real world. The writers did a great job! Thanking all the cast for making this story believable on screen.

Wow, this drama truly captivated me from the very start. The first episode left me intrigued. Esther Yu's portrayal of a serious and enigmatic character was a departure from her usual roles, and I found it mesmerizing. Her dark, hair framing her face added to the allure of her character, and her ability to maintain such seriousness throughout was truly captivating. While her martial arts scenes were impressive, I couldn't help but wonder if she had a stunt double for some of the more intricate sequences. Nonetheless, her performance was flawless, leaving me in awe.

Zhang Ling He's ability to seamlessly transform into his character is remarkable. While I can't claim to know his true personality, his portrayal in this drama felt particularly authentic. His mastery of martial arts on screen appeared incredibly genuine, leaving me curious about whether he had prior training in the discipline.

The dynamic between the brother characters portrayed by Ryan Cheng (Gong Shang Jue) and Tian Jia Rui (Gong Yuan Zhi) was both exasperating and brilliantly executed. Their presence on screen often had me on the edge of my seat, metaphorically reaching for my shoe to throw in frustration. Ryan Cheng's mesmerizing gaze left me eager to see more of his work in the future.

The storyline was rife with mystery, keeping me thoroughly engaged throughout. However, I must admit I was somewhat disappointed by the ending. Not because of any character deaths, but rather how it concluded. It left me with a strong feeling that there may be a sequel in the works.

Jolin Jill's portrayal of a comedic character had me shaking my head in amusement. Her antics added a delightful touch of humor to the narrative.

Overall, I commend the entire cast and crew for their collective efforts in bringing this story to life. The costumes were particularly impressive, adding to the overall aesthetic of the production. I eagerly await the possibility of a sequel and hope to see the return of these talented individuals in future installments.

More Episodes please!

This delightful Kdrama captivated my attention. It touches on themes of fear, language, and substances, though I found them subtly portrayed. The exploration of remembering past lives intrigued me, and I particularly admired the strong performance of Shin Hye Sun, the main actress who skillfully portrayed a character engaged in martial arts. Despite not reaching perfection, her depiction was indeed commendable.

Ban Ji Eum, portraying the tall and handsome lead actor, brought a muscular presence to the screen. The unique storyline, delving into the concept of past lives, set this drama apart from others I've watched. My only lament is that it wasn't longer; I yearned for more episodes to delve deeper into the narrative.

The contrast between the historical and present-day lives of the characters added a fascinating layer to the storyline. Gratitude extends to the producers, writers, costume designers, and all involved in bringing this captivating drama to life, from the automobiles to the homes—a heartfelt thank you for creating such an engaging experience.

I was truly upset about watching this drama and it also angered me that I continued watching it. I gave this a lower rating but I was thinking about the actors and actresses that they actually did very well in the parts they played. I blame the writers for the storyline. First of all, I felt very bad that a great actor played a role that killed the character he played. You don't know how many times I wanted to drop this but I kept on watching it. Go Hyun Jung (Jung Hee Joo) was so believable, I wanted to reach into the screen and scold her character. This is why I rated all the acting cast a 10. Just like I wanted to reach into the screen to scold Jung Hee Jee, I wanted to do the same to Choi Won Young character Ahn Hyun Sung and tell him to stop doing what he was doing to Jung Hee Jee and Soo Woo Jae. I would be angry too if I was Seo Woo Jae played by a great actor Kim Jae Young. Just know I hated the whole storyline. I hate the fact they didn't tell the truth to Seo Woo Jae that he had a son and then his memory came back just to be killed. ughhh I never want to watch a story like this.

The story in this drama was strange to me but they played it off. The stories of couples and their relationship was intriguing to me. I am happy that Ji Chang Wook (Park Jae Won) was the lead in this drama. I love his acting and what he brings to the screen. He brought his character to life and of course, he made Park Jae Won come alive. Kim Ji Won (Lee Eun Oh) did very well in this drama. I didn't think the chemistry was not there with Lee Eun Oh. Their ending was also strange but it also came okay. The other actors/actress who plays in main roles did their jobs. I did have a problem believing one actress but I will not say a name. Why mention it you ask? Well, I want to see if your reviews will see that as well. Thank you to all the supporting actors/actresses the story wouldn't be told without them. I also didn't like the storyline where the actors/actress was pretending to talk to someone who was filming their lives. Don't go by what I said, you need to watch it and give your own review.

Another storyline with a team of excellent actors Zhang Xin Cheng (Zuan Zhong Xin) Zhou Yu Tong (Zhao Jian) Wang You Shuo (Wang Kuan) Su Xiao Tong (Pei Jing) Bruce He (Wei Ya Nei) Kevin Z (Xue Ying) who all did great. I have never seen so many deaths and brought back-to-life scenes. The stories were many. I must rewatch this again to get it right. Zhang Xin Cheng was excellent. I thank the wardrobe designer! The ending… well… explosive! Thanking all of the team of Young Blood. Waiting for Young Blood 2 to come out. Make sure you don't miss any of the episodes in this that is why I need to rewatch it again. I didn't miss any of the episodes... but my focus got off when I had to get up from time to time.

This was a cute story! I loved the first episode and I appreciate when the first episode can make someone focused. All the cast members did very well including the supporting and guest roles. I wished there was more to the ending. I wouldn't have watched this drama if it was for the first episode. I don't understand why some corporates or hospitals don't allow dating. I hear that workplace romances can adversely affect employee morale and productivity by distracting the romantic partners and their co-workers Even if they dated outside their jobs with non-employees can still be distracting. Love is Love and problems will be problems whether inside or outside the workplace. I thank all the actors/actresses, directors, producers, writers, and staff. You all did great.

This drama is what the title says Bad and Crazy. I loved the detective storyline and it brings awareness to those who have dual personalities or alter egos. Everyone has a good and bad side of themselves and some have bad and crazy in themselves. Lee Dong Wook (Ryu Soo Yeol) I love this actor and he is good at playing the character in this drama. Wi Ha Joon ("K"), I have to applaud this actor for his acting in the character he played. These two main leads, what a great collaboration. Actress Han Ji Eun (Lee Hee Kyum) played a strong lead and she was awesome. Cha Hak Yeon (Oh Kyung Tae) poor CHY he had was injured so many times I felt sorry for him but he became strong in the end. Amazing visuals, and a great storyline, I wish this was a recurring series. Thanks to all the Bad and Crazy team and the other supporting actors and actresses.

I couldn't get into this drama at first because it got me confused. I decided to come back and try watching it again. I missed a part that was key to the storyline and that is what confused me. This is the kind of drama that needs 100% of your attention. The storyline was very intriguing and a good mystery of who did it and why. So many suspects. The ending was amazing! Song Joong Ki (Jin Do Joon) Yoon Hyun Woo was awesome. This storyline wouldn't have been a success without his acting skills. He is truly a great actor. Lee Sung Min (Jin Yang Cheol) who played the role of the CEO, I need to applaud him as playing a senior, he was awesome. Shin Hyun Bin (Seo Min Young) who played the role of the detective, was more mysterious than the whole drama. I mean she was very good. The character she played had me until the last episode. But so did Song Joong Ki! If you like mysteries, this is a great one to watch. No Martial arts, no fantasy, and a tad bit of romance, I didn't pay attention to the wardrobes or the visuals, I was too busy concentrating on the storyline. This will be a rewatch for me.

This is a cute story. Not very romantic but it was enough for how this story is written. I won't focus on the main leads because everyone did very well to make this storyline come alive. The set and visuals were great from the first episode to the last episode. It was short and sweet. I'm not a pet owner, I was but I think you have to be very passionate about owning a pet that will only live 14 years. I can't do that anymore, it hurts to lose them. I wasn't crazy about the wardrobes because the police uniform is only blue and looks like the main lead only had maybe 3 changes to make. That's that.

This was a very cute story! This is also another storyline you can't be skipping episodes or you will miss what this story is about. I won't comment on each actor/actress in this storyline but know that all the main leads were awesome. The storyline was actually very peculiar but loved it. I wished they had more time on the last episode. The visuals and I do want to mention the costume design of the outfits that the first main lead actress was wearing. They were all cute. That black and white outfit she had was excellently made. The song they played over and over in this drama, almost put me to sleep, it's not a bad song but I will love hearing it while beginning my sleep at night. Please enjoy.

I didn't expect this, I guess we all cheer differently or the screenwriter didn't have a clue about being a cheerleader. I was one, and we surely didn't cheer like that. Honestly, I'm not putting this drama down... different cultures do different things. I'm not going to name the actors and actresses in this drama but I will give them their due respect. All did very well. I don't know why the writers had to have someone evil in their plot. I do have a favorite actor in this but he got cheated out of it all in the storyline. I knew he was going to catch the girl because was 3rd in line. The younger generation might enjoy this but that evil plot should have stayed out.
