I have mixed feelings about this drama. While it started off okay, the ending left a lot to be desired. I didn't really enjoy this drama as much as other detective dramas such as Galileo or Brain.

Like other reviewers, I agree the acting was really good. Everyone portrayed their characters realistically and consistently. The actress who played Kurumi, Hashimoto Ai, was especially good at showing both her ditzy and intelligent sides.

The story and plot was all right. There was no exciting twists, though the villains were pretty unique. It was just your standard police procedural drama.

For me, the drama went off the rails towards the end, with no explanations for the events that occurred and leaving some subplots unresolved. There were some implications about one character's past that seemed to come out of nowhere with no setup or foreshadowing. The end strongly hinted at a Season 2, so maybe things would get resolved then.

Overall, this drama was meh. It has some great elements, but they weren't executed to their greatest potential. Some of the storytelling choices, especially at the end, make no sense, which soured my feelings towards the drama.

Honestly I didn't really enjoy this drama. I have a hard time understanding how this drama was the one of the Top 5 Taiwanese dramas of 2013 due to its amateurish plot and execution. It got to the point where I wanted to give up halfway. The story plot was very unoriginal. I've seen this story set up in the same way too many times. To the drama's credit, it managed to keep all its storylines organized, making it very easy to follow. (Korean movies can learn from this.) Unfortunately, the writers made the scenes too cheesy and too corny for me. I wanted to throw up from all the sappiness present in almost every scene.

Many reviews praised the good acting in this drama. I disagree. I felt that some of the characters, especially the main characters, were over-exaggerating their acting, which contributed to the corniness of the drama. I had high expectations for Aaron, since he has been in the industry for so long and has plenty of acting experience in these type of roles. I have been a Fahrenheit fan since they debuted, so I have followed the development of his career. His acting was really n00b in the drama, especially during the crying scenes. His expressions made him look constipated rather than sad. The whole time I was watching, I saw a struggling Aaron trying to be his character, rather than the character himself.

The only reason I continued because it got a little better halfway, and I wanted to see if this improvement would continue towards the end. Overall, this drama was meh for me. The bad outweighed the good. A younger and newer (to dramas) audience may enjoy this drama, but older and more experienced viewers looking for something more sophisticated will probably be disappointed.

This drama is THE BOMB. The storyline is fantastic and the acting. The people in there had AWESOME acting skills. Well to me at least because their chemistry was awesome^^ The storyline amaze balls. No joke I literally though this was going to be a lame cliche drama because TW dramas usually have the cliche plots and the annoying main cast no offense -_-" but somehow I manage to like this drama than I expected. Probably due to the fact that I love angsty dramas. In fact I love reading/watching romance angst stuff because it makes me have feels ^^ No matter how cliche it is. If it has angst, I'm taken. Jk I mean I die for a good romance storyline.

I been watching Asian dramas for a long time so I know what I want . But sometime I get sucked into a hyped drama -_-" and get disappointed. I won't name any because I'll get hated on-_-".

I recommend this drama for people who likes a very emotional drama despite the cliches. Let me just say the main dude is kinda good looking sooooooo go watch it ^^
P.S. I agree which the last review that some episodes are dragged out so be prepared for that......

I liked that Kurokochi is a interlaced drama. All the episodes are connected to a case that happened 45 years ago. Kurokochi himself is displayed not as "good"cop "bad"cop. He just wants to know what happened 45 years ago. Surprisingly the story did manage to make sense and was very exciting to watch.

Honestly I thought this was a pretty good drama but now I think of it, there were a some disappointments such as discovering the what happened 45 years ago. They over hyped the case of what happened 45 years ago compared to all the other cases in the episodes.It seemed that case 45 years ago was a piece of dust. In my personal opinion Kurokochi also had some flaws because in the drama he expected everything to fall in place and never did he doubt himself which made it kinda of strange especially when he has a "going with the flow" attitude half the time. He also didn't care having his plans shared out to the enemy which is also very strange because he doesn't have the cautious vibe. The people who created Kurokochi seemed to be prepared for season 2.

This movie is the perfect mix of Cantonese and Mandarin. The people who made this movie hiring enough HK and China people to make this movie. The story plot was fabulous. It was honest and relatable to real life relationship situations.It wasn't the typical "OMG, He's an rich asshole and manages to fall in love with a poor girl." The asshole manages to win the girl with effort.You also get to understand the saying "It's not you, it's me" during the movie.

Shawn is pretty good speaking in Mandarin.He barely has the HK accent. But the others not so much. The end of this movie was hilarious though. I heard the ending of Shawn went viral. I also just realized this movie is the sequel to Love in a Puff but I didn't bother watching the first one.

I started watching this after being majorly disappointed in KO One Return. Apparently this is suppose to be remake/revamp to the very disappointing KO One Return. While I watch half way I thought, there is no way they are going to wrap this up cleanly because they were introducing scenario after scenario without completing the first scenario. But surprisingly enough they manage to tie up the loose ends in the end ,which clarified a lot of things. This drama also had the KO Rank which I was really happy about because it actually followed the story line to KO One^^Honestly, I could have skipped out watching KO Return and watch this and the story still would make sense.

One concern I had was with the relationship with the supporting characters. The fact that "the girl" told "the guy" that he actually not in love with her and they left it like that was very vague. I actually like that pairing too. But over all I enjoyed this drama as much as KO One and I cannot wait until KO XDormitory comes out this year^^Which is the continuation of KO One React and X Family!!!!!

I really liked the plot of this movie. It was clear why they were fighting. But the fight scenes in this movie seemed to be very stretched out. One fight scene took 10 minutes which lost my attention halfway.If they had shorter fight scenes and developed the ending a bit more it would have been a good movie. Another complaint I also had was that in the movie they were using Mandarin,Cantonese,and English randomly. I would have enjoyed the movie a lot more if they actually planned out what to say in Cantonese and what to say in Mandarin. In the beginning I asummed this "whole" movie was going to be in Cantonese but only 1/3 part of movie was in Cantonese and 2/3 of it was in Mandarin. Either make this movie in "mainly" in Cantonese or "mainly" in Mandarin so it is easier to follow>:( But I really like how they did the stunts though.
FYI: This movie has no humor.

The 2nd movie confirmed some of the confusion that was in the 1st movie. The love interest definitely is confirmed and we get to know character background!!! Usually movies do not tell us about character background but surprisingly the main plot in this movie revolves around a character. I could tell in this movie that when the crew of "The Four" started making movie #1, they knew they were going to make a trilogy regardless how popular it was. I would say this movie and movie#1 were equally good. The only sad part is that the ending is a cliffhanger:( Movie #3 hurry up and come out!!!!

I actually liked this movie. The story plot was pretty clear to me probably because I grew up watching Wuxia dramas when I was a kid. Some people actually prefer Wuxia dramas with no CGI but in my opinion, CGI enhances the Wuxia moves as long as it is not overused. This movie is a perfect example of what you want to watch in a Wuxia film. There is one part that confuses me, which is the love interest. Wikipedia explains that there is a love triangle in the movie but it is unclear what couple has ended up together in the end. Depending on what site you are watching from, the translation may be vary so I suggest you watch from the same site when watching the 2nd movie.

This drama is pretty good as a medical drama. All the medical dramas I've watched, I would say this drama is the most realistic one out of all of them, When I usually stumble upon a medical drama, there is only 1 table death or no deaths at all. Doctors there are magically powerful and can save everyone. Realistically that is not the case. This drama however, displays how doctor can't magically save everyone but they try their best through their trial and error. This drama also gives me the excitement of people trying to be saved. I do not suggest people watching this if you are looking for people to get together,kissing,or any lovey doves stuff. This is only for the sake of medical dramas. If you are starting to watch medical dramas. I suggest to watch to watch this drama first because it's the least gory out of all of them. I gave this drama a low rematch rating because i don't usually rewatch dramas unless it's really funny to rematch again.
