As a long time drama watcher, I have come across my fair share of stories. I thought this was going to be another one of those farfetched future-y robot shows that have somewhat become the norm lately, like "Are You Human Too?" and "My Absolute Boyfriend." HOWEVER, this story was extremely entertaining and was unique enough to bring new elements to the table. Sure, at times I did think to myself that the story was a little silly, but how serious can you be when comes to a show about a Hologram and his friends? So many characters had amazing developments that deserve praise. This story also has an amazing villain that you can't help but hate. Since this is a non-spoiler review, I can't exactly say what happens except that you'll be hooked until the credits of the last episode. It had me hooked enough to watch it in one day. YES, ONE DAY! Speaking of that, this show felt like the perfect length at 12 episodes. It never felt too drawn out or rushed. Normally, when I finish a drama I think that once is enough, but with this show, I wouldn't mind watching it again! Great show!! :)

Ok...this review is more or less going to be just my own opinions even though that's what reviews are supposed to be. SO, please respect my own opinions haha

One of the best shows I have ever seen!!

STORY: Alright, I'll get to my main point right off the bat on why this is a 9.5 and not a straight up 10. I found the story really interesting and fun to follow along with. The main problem I found was that the romance didn't add anything to the plot what so ever. If the romance wasn't there, the plot would have stayed the same. Or who knows, I am one of those people that likes action more than romance. Don't get me wrong the romance was fine and someone who likes it would probably love it, I just didn't. Don't let this deter you from watching this amazing show! I am not giving any spoilers (or will try not to) but I really liked how the story was in 2 parts. It wasn't just the same thing throughout the whole show. One half of the show focused on one thing and the second half focused on another.

ACTING/CAST: This got a 10 because of the awesome acting and awesome casting!! There were some roles in this story where it would be quite the difficult character to pull off yet was performed extremely well!! Great acting!

MUSIC: 11/10 would recommend - If I could give this an 11 I would. Just the background music was amazing! It really fit well with the scenes and provided so many extra emotions.

REWATCH: Really fun show, now that I know all of the plot twists it would definitely be an interesting rewatch ;)

OVERALL: I this has got to be one of the best shows I have seen! I have given this a 9.5 out of 10 really just because of the romance and I didn't get the ending I wanted. I really wish it ended differently but sometimes it's for the best. It's not like it was a bad ending, I just wish it went a different direction...

This was honestly SO refreshing. I'm more of a k-drama addict, but I saw this and thought it looked good. BOY was I right! I think my favorite part about this show was how whenever there was a misunderstanding or some sort of drama, it would be cleared up right away instead of taking 6 episodes of unnecessary content before it's resolved like k-dramas do... Overall I gave it a 9 because some of the content was pretty cliche, but I loved it anyway! Plus it was a bonus that the main couple was SO CUUUUTE! Ok, maybe that's a bit overboard, but they were adorable.

Normally I wouldn't rate a show I'm reviewing a 10/10 but there really isn't anything that I didn't like about this show! (other than not being able to find it very well online, and when I did it had poor sound quality, BUT that is not the show's fault) I watched the entire anime, several times, in fact, and I loved this drama! I feel like yes, the acting would be a bit over the top for someone who hasn't seen the anime or read the manga, HOWEVER, I thought it was right on point if not better. The characters were represented really well. Since I didn't finish reading the manga, I only had the anime to base the story on and I loved the continuation of the story. I've seen in the comments how people have their panties in a twist over the ending but coming from someone who watches mainly Kdramas, trust me, it could be a lot worse. I quite liked the ending, I got everything I wanted out of it. I would definitely watch this again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Ok, I first came to this drama because I thought it was going to be about this guy that uses his power as a doctor to kill people. It started off super cool like that, but then took a big turn and focused more on helping people like doctors should. I think the thing I LOVED the most in this was that there was almost no romance, sure some side characters had a little, but the main focus of the story was not based on the main leads getting together in the end. The story was unique and good (even with Jo Jae Hyun having to leave the show). The acting was pretty good. Music was AMAZING! I could listen to "Thousand Times" by Samuel a million times and not get tired of it. Overall, I gave it a 9. If it's a good enough show for me to actually finish it, the show is worth a watch.

Do you want a good revenge drama?
Do you like cliff-hangers that keep you watching?
Well, then you're in the right place because this has been the best and most satisfying revenge drama that I have ever watched. This show is so satisfying because just when the opposing side thinks they have the upper hand, Pil Joo comes in and reminds them that they don't. It is so satisfying to watch the opposing side come up with all these plans to ruin Pil Joo, but he is always one step ahead of them. Remember, if you try to mess with Pil Joo, you'll be the one to end up in the ground!
The story and cast were amazing, and the music deserves some kind of award! The only reason this isn't a full on 10/10 (like it should be) is because once the secret is revealed to basically everyone, I didn't really have anything to look forward to anymore so it got kind of boring, but only slightly!
Highly recommend!!

Oh, my, goodness, where do I begin!? All I have to say is, this is SUCH a good show!! It had you on the edge of your seat the whole time!! The acting was amazing (except for Chairman Cha *cough*). The story was great! This story had you feeling all sorts of emotions!! Plus there's an amazing soundtrack! I believe this show should be a 10/10 except there were some scenes that were a little too boring or that when on too long for my taste. Therefore, a close 9.5 for being amazing with everything else.

This is the longest drama I have ever seen, and I love, love, LOVED IT!! There's over 50 episodes and I never got bored once! I never thought that I would be one to watch a really long drama, but this was an amazing experience. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure I have diabetes from how sweet that ending was. At first I thought the story behind why the "father was strange" was a bit weird, but as the story progressed it made so much sense and was so emotional! The acting and cast was beyond amazing and the soundtracks are always stuck in my head. (You'll be in myyyyy heart haha) I gave the rewatch value a 7 only because it was so long that once is probably enough, but it was awesome. All in all 10/10 and going on my favorites list! (I wonder if I can use enough exclamation points in this review haha)

GOOOD LORD!! I don't think I can cry any more. I think I have ran out of tears!! I'm going to try not to give spoilers...but when it's categorized as "tragedy" they mean it! This is the first movie ever to actually make me full out sob, and it's not even a true story! Normally, if a movie is sad, I'll tear up a bit, oh no no OH CONTRAIRE If you don't want to cry, don't watch this.........Other than the crying part (lol) The story was really good, cast was on point, and music was perfect! My only issue is, I know it's a disaster movie, and the people are supposed to be panicking.......But does almost every single person need to yell?? I understand the panic, but please panic at a lower volume....yeah thanks haha

This is probably the best show I have watched that I couldn't predict! Just when you start to think you know what's going to happen, you don't. I about broke my neck there were so many plot twists, but I loved it!! I love how everything fit together and came together. It might be confusing or a bit slow in the first episode, but it picks up so fast to the point that you're practically running to keep up. I loved the story, the casting was on point, and so was the music. I wouldn't mind watching this again even if I know all the plot twists already. Since it is only 12 episodes it doesn't take that long to watch and it feels like it goes by so fast! All in all, I loved it and it's going on my favorites list!

I don't know what it is about Chinese shows/movies and the dubbing being horrible... The audio is terrible for almost 85% of chinese shows/movies... Once you get past the dubbing being terrible, it was a good story I guess. Not the best movie out there, but it definitely entertained me for almost 2 hours... I mostly watched it for Lee Min Ho (even though I'm pretty sure that they weren't even using his voice) The acting in the movie was pretty good, except for the very beginning where they meet "Sam", I laughed more at the acting rather than anything else in the beginning. Honestly if this didn't have Lee Min Ho, I would have been crueler with the rating, but his fight scenes were pretty bomb (pun intended haha).

Honestly, I really liked this show! However, I have more than a few complaints about it. I love Agent K's character so much on how he is so smart and knows what to do. I also love the bromance he has with Woon Gwang. My main problem was Do Ha......Her character was SOOOO annoying!! This show is called "Man to Man" but she just keeps butting in. Not to mention from episode 1 to 16 every time I saw her I cringed at her hairstyle... Plus her dad was also an annoying character, but the father characters are usually like that so I let him slide. Another problem was also the story. The first episode was so promising (besides DoHa) but in the middle it got really slow and repetitive. It did pick up again towards the end though. My overall thoughts are it was a pretty good show (except DoHa) but I think watching it once is enough.

For being a manga/anime adaptation, it was pretty good. I did read the manga and watched the anime, and this movie did a pretty good job of keeping with the story. A lot of shows/movies that are based on manga/anime do a really terrible job of representing it, but this did a really good job. The casting was great and the music was amazing! Now the only real problems I had were the weird camera angles. For some scenes it would show the wide view of the whole setting and then wouldn't get close up. So, you would just be there listening to the scene rather than watching the acting because the characters are so far away. Along with weird camera angles, when it was close up the camera was really shaky. You know how the cameras shake in documentaries? It was doing that, as if someone was just filming it on their phone or something. Lastly, there are some scenes (not very many, I think like two) that I felt were way longer than they should have been. Other than that great acting, story, and music. It was just the weird camera.
