I loved the storyline! The love of a friend that one grows up with and considers a brother, that's deep. Again, Park Seo Joon who played Moo Myung (Seonu) is great at acting. Very strong personality to get this role correct. He is one of my top 10 Korean Actors. The other actor that did really well was Park Hyung Shik, even though, he had to play a character who was not confident in himself, he did it well. Those roles are harder to perform than any other part. PHS can sing and I love the song he sang for Hwarang named "I'll be Here". Go Ah Ra who played Ah Ro, Not only did she act very well but her whole stature changed for this role.

The only flaw I viewed was the last episode where the main two lead characters ended up with each other but then all of sudden 6 months passed. You know how they put on the screen at times "6 mos later", well, they didn't have that this time or I must've blinked and missed it... where did he go for six months?

I am suggesting this KDrama, there are twists and turns that you don't want to miss. Make sure you don't skip not one episode! The writer is very clever. I am blown away! Also, thank the writers for D.I.D. Mental issue awareness. Another D.I.D. KDrama, a very interesting topic for me. I have always been interested in D.I.D. personalities.

The main Sung Ji, this is my first seeing him in a KDrama series. From what I'm seeing, he is not a bad actor. I'm impressed seeing him playing 7 personalities. I must say, he played them with instinctively different personalities. I never laughed so hard. I loved the Martial Art scenes of one of the personalities. Of course, I had to research Sung Ji and saw that he can sing as well and knows Martial Art. Sung Ji Had my emotions (all of them) from one episode to another. Hwang Jung Eum playing Oh Ri Jin, the role called for a perky/loud/tomboyish type of role which in that case she did well too. Park Seo Joon who plays the brother Oh Ri Jin, wow, that is the only reason why I watched this drama and I'm glad I did, I got to see Sung Ji and HJE. Then you have the Grandmother (what a &#@^%) The actress who played that role played it very well... just too convincing... *applauding*.

Visuals: I love the visuals especially two tall statues while two were walking. Those were beautiful! I am wondering if they were part of the set they built or real in the town. The soundtrack was good. Thanking the team of "Kill Me, Heal Me". I enjoyed it so much that I stayed up watching every one of the episodes. I'm sleepy now! lol

This is a depressing story because is basically a story about Hospice. Not something I wanted to watch today but because Ha Ji Won is in this, I gave it a try. In this first drama series that I watched Ha Ji Won not playing a strong female role. Even though I'm all for women being portrayed as strong women and don't like women in low self-esteem and needy type roles. But she chose this project so it must be to get acting experience in this type of role. In reality, I didn't like her in this role, oh I said that already... lol Otherwise it was okay but I won't watch it again. The rest of the cast did great. Thank you!

The storyline was ok but I had problems with it. I don't like children being killed off for one. I liked the 2nd husband because he was definitely in love with KOB's character. I hate that he was killed off for another. I loved KOB's martial art skills and love the way she handles knives and swords. I feel the action of this movie should have been made into a series instead of a movie. There was more to vision in this script it was too short. I didn't like the ending for sure where it looked like she just went insane. The screenwriters could've made her into a strong heroine!

A lot of Kissing going on!

Alen Fang in the character of Li Qian and Ling Mei Shi in the character of Li-Ming Yue was totally a romance hand-up! Romance chemistry was definitely there and so were a lot of kissing scenes. This is the first drama I viewed with nothing but kissing. Yes, I love this couple and hope to see more of this romantic dynamic duo. I loved the storyline and thank you, writers, for faking the 2nd wife because I was surely going to drop this drama if Li Qian, well never mind. I loved the wedding scene and the dancing of the dynamic romance duo. As I always say, the story does not happen without the rest of the cast. There were some laughing, crying, and angry emotions! But I got through it.

Alen Fang can blow (sing)! I love that he plays the piano and flute awesomely. Will be watching some videos.

Important Review Must Read!

I have not finished watching but I had to do the review beforehand. The United States movie "Signal" was nothing like this movie but it had to do with a murder case. This Kdrama and the American movie Signal are both great. The KDrama had more of a story to it which I so appreciate. Lee Je Hoon whose character Park Hae Yeong was very strong and convincing as a profiler. I need to see more with this actor. Kim Hye Soo who played Cha Soo Hyun was also a strong and compassionate emotional female detective, she was also doing a believable job. I will let you know the rest as I finish watching it. I have not skipped any episodes because it has me focused on them. Now the bad part.

Important: I always research the actor's main lead and support.

Ending is not what you think, Please Read my Review

Now I see why everyone is crazy about Lee Min Ho... I loved the storyline but there was a glitch. There is only one small minimal thing I didn't like and it was the ending. Another cliffhanger left you wondering if he was alive or just an illusion. I hate those kinds of endings... No hug nor did he give her the ring. The writers did get me on one part and that is when the prosecutor died. Park Ming Young was great and another actress that showed her strength. This story wouldn't have happened without the other actors and actresses. Great job everyone even though this was back in 2011... I'm 8 years late in watching this.

Because I mentioned that I didn't like the last few minutes of the ending. I had to research to see if anyone else felt the same as I did. I found a clip from the writer, please read it. I am happy that Na Na and Yoon Sung did reunite at the end. You writers need to stop making these sorts of endings.

ENDING COMMENT BY WRITER: "Lee Yoon Sung' (Lee Min Ho). In the final scene, Yoon Sung and 'Na Na' (played by Park Min Young) were reunited in a happy ending, but some viewers were left to believe that Yoon Sung was actually a ghostly figure. However, the producer, Kim Yong Sup, stated to TVDaily on July 29th, "Yoon Sung is not dead". Kim Yong Sup elaborated, "Lee Yoon Sung (Lee Min Ho) sustained a bullet shot in the last episode, but after much time passes, he eventually meets Kim Na Na. He doesn't appear as a ghost as it was actually just a time jump that we had set up. Of course, I respect the arbitrary interpretation of the viewers. However, just the fact that Yoon Sung didn't die is, strictly speaking, the definition of a happy ending. The director and writer put in the scene with this as their mindset."

This movie stars 3 people that I love Wallace Chung, Lee Min Ho, and Tiffany Tang... The one thing I will never ever get used to is Wallace Chung playing a comedic character. He still looks good though! For me, Wallace Chung in the public view is a very serious and kind person so I don't think that part fits his persona. The storyline kind of reminded me of the "Joker". What I loved the most was the Martial Arts. That one last kick that Lee Min Ho did was I mean, wow, put goosebumps all over my arms. I know he has taken training in the Philippines. I would love to know more about his Martial arts. Thank you to the rest of the cast for making this movie. Great Job.

The storyline and the cast alone rated my 10! Woo Do-Hwan you were magnificent in the character you portrayed and convinced me of this tragedy. Yoo Ji Tae I love the character you portrayed as well. I wanted to give condolences that's how convincing you were. I wished the writer would've added to your story a little more regarding your character's wife and son. Ryu Hwa Young you also played a great character, wished the writers would've given you a little more romance with Woo Do-Hwan's character. oh well, you win some you lose some... The rest of the Mad Dog Team: Kudos to Pentium played by Kim Hye Sung, and Park Soon Jung played by Jo Jae Yoon! The music was on point. I love investigative work. I enjoyed this KDrama. This is the 4th KDrama I have watched in 2 days with Woo Do-Hwan in it. He will be on my fav Korean Actor's list even though I don't know if can sing, or do martial arts (but that backflip kick of his awesome)

I watch this when I heard Woo Do-Hwan was in this Kdrama. I loved the storyline, this may be a fictional story but this is a reality. Thank you for bringing awareness of these types of cults which should not be allowed anywhere. Thank you to the main leads and the supporting cast and others for making this believable.

This really happened in the United States I remember this very well. "The members of the group in 1997, identified by the authorities as Heaven's Gate, referred to themselves as angels, dressed alike in androgynous black clothes and buzz haircuts, and ran a business, Higher Source, that designed commercial home pages for the Internet. The co-founder of the cult, Marshall Herff Applewhite, 65, was among the dead, the San Diego County Medical Examiner's office said".

I really enjoyed this romantic comedy, drama and what a critical secret! I laugh so hard at some of the scenes, I cried at some of the scenes and was very glad that a fatal attraction female was not intervening with the two main characters like most dramas that I have viewed. The two main leads, I applaud you, what romantic chemistry with each other. Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young were fantastic! I give this a 10 because this drama succeeded in bringing out all of my emotions. Thank you, writers, producers, and the rest of the cast. Another awareness in this storyline which is when a child sees death in front of their eyes can be devastating and memories can linger on with PTSD until their demise. This brought me to heavy tears! It also taught me that even someone close to a child that is kidnapped that they go through some traumatic mental issues. Oh my gosh, that was a deep storyline! The other thing I am so glad about is that they hid the suicide scene, I wished they would've shown the woman just climbing onto the chair and not the rope. I hope KDramas, ChineseDramas, and other dramas would stop using suicide to solve one's problem. The suicide rate is high in the USA, China, Europe, and other continents!

Jung Hae In who played Yoo Ji Ho and Han Ji Min who played Lee Jung In romance chemistry is there, my problem with this romantic drama is the back n forth between these two. I'm not blaming the actor and actress but I am blaming the story writers. My other problem, the writers chose the female main lead to show tendencies of emotional abuse towards her partner in the present day which tapered towards the end to have a happy ending. Domestic Abuse is rated high in most countries presently. I know this is a story but stories project to the audience ideologies to commit abuse by copying a scene. Other than that the rest of the story was good. Thanking the cast for a job well done.

The Martial Arts though!

I love martial arts when I know the actor(s) are not faking the moves. That is what makes this movie great. I was impressed with Max Zhang, I even wished that Lee Joon Gi starred in this movie. A lot of great visual effects in this movie. It looks so real, the hits, the chops... all of it! The storyline with Max Zhang playing a father character he played made it so believable for a father who loves his son. The two different languages that are spoken or subtitled were done very well. I even got emotional in some of the scenes. I have seen Johnny Jaa in a lot of movies and "Rush Hour 3" is one of my favs. Love Jackie Chan although he didn't play in this movie but thought I would mention him.

I loved this so much! The first few episodes it was serious and I love the storyline. This gave me another chance to see one of my fav actors Ethan Ruan. He does comedy very well. The directors/writers had the right cast to showcase this drama series. Xin Ling Zhong, OMG, she was awesomely funny, I love her. It felt good to really laugh where your stomach hurts, this is a great comedy. It was also sad and like the American soap operas, there is always that snake to break up or harm a relationship. I took half of the points off the music because they played continuously. The chemistry was there in the Romance parts. Not like Legend of Fuyao, I'm being selfish right now... lol. Thanking the Director, and all of the cast including the guest cast! Thanking the team for makeup and costumes. No Martial arts that I love but the comedy was a plus.

It had an okay storyline but it surely was long. Thank God it was on YouTube! Let me start with the cast of Chen Xiao who played Shen Xing Yi, he played this part very well! I believe he deserved a 10 and should've been given a nomination or an award. I understand this drama had so many characters and they all played their part very well. There was a lot of mystery and you have to guess who did what and when. I wished they had more martial arts Kung Fu but they didn't. I didn't feel the chemistry in the romance, um, well it was just one-sided with Shen Xingyi I felt that he had chemistry with his character. I didn't like the sad ending. I wished it was a Happy Ending for him. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. I want to know more about Chen Xiao.
