A fantasy drama for kids and kids at heart..

I don't know why exactly, but I really do love this drama. It's not the first mermaid fantasy drama I've seen but this is my favorite.

Maybe because it has a little bit of everything. Started with a little bit of romance in a fantasy setting, riddled with moral lessons basically because it's made with kids in mind.

If the fantasy part is removed, love, family and friends remained constant. As well as jealousy, selfishness and greed..

This maybe made for kids, but is definitely well written and the actors were great specially the kid mermaid. Good OST too.

Better than the first season..

When I managed to finish season 1, despite all faults, I got attached with Doldam Hospital and it's medical staff.

Then I was curious with the young female doctor who faints or fall asleep everytime she had to go to the O.R. I thought it was absurd really, a surgeon who had panic attacks at the surgery room..

I still think, Doctor John is way better than this one. But I think this is better than the first season. It's just that its too tiresome to have the same antagonist all throughout these two seasons.

I think this is more emotionally charged than the first season. Would I rewatch it? Maybe not. But I don't regret watching it either.

A perfect balance entertainment of romance, crime/mystery, family drama, comedy.

A perfect balance entertainment of romance, crime/mystery, family drama, comedy.

A well casted show, from the lead cast to the supporting characters.. The plot of the story started as if it was like any other kind of RomCom. In this one, girl meets boy and liked him on the spot. Pursued and annoyed him relentlessly until they became friends.

Both of them, bruised and battered by the past but together they've overcome every obstacles, doubts, fears and insecurities.

It was heart warming too see the relationship between the brothers, the relationship between mother and daughter, even the friendships around the ML and FL. The side stories of the supporting characters were well written, it didn't feel like a bunch of unsubstantial stories pierced together just to create a bigger picture. This one is really worth watching..

I don't agree with the message of the story..

The strong message of the story is that you can do anything you want in the guise of the big picture. You can kill, cheat, lie and betray anyone and everyone, even your own family and loved ones.

At first, it was the typical story of young students searching for some kind of justice. Their adventures and misadventures resulted to good friendships and finding true love.

The plot of the story was really convoluted with lots of surprising twist and turns. The writers weren't even afraid of killing main characters.

Acting wise, I think actors in supporting roles was way better than the main characters. The romance level of this is one is a bit mediocre. I think its an OK show. Did I finish it? -yes. Did it made me laugh or cry? -no. Would I re watch it? -maybe not.

This may not be something profound or life changing story but it's really entertaining to watch..

This is really good. The plot was complex but never convoluted. I think it has a right blend of Crime/Mystery/Politics/Comedy with some heart warming moments. The only thing lacking was a bit of romance, but it's just me the hopeless romantic..

I like that even if the show portrayed a really crazy and corrupt world, they also showcased a beautiful fraternal love between the main characters. They maybe crazy, they may steal, cheat and beat everyone that crosses them. But they're fiercely loyal to a fault, they have each other's back and they're so protective of their sister. It's touching to see these brute and crude guys care for a badass woman.

The actors are great too, plenty of familiar faces everywhere. Matched with a good OST and musical scoring, it became pretty entertaining.

I wouldn't mind watching a second season, but as usual for Korean dramas, they rarely do sequels so I'm good with that too...

Good to watch if you're looking for something light.

Entertaining even though I was half annoyed most of the time while watching the show, specially at the first half of the show.

The ML was almost pathetically weak, not just physically but also personality wise. FL was rude borderline cruel. Some of the episodes feels like filler episode, I was tempted to skip it.

The character development was something to look forward.. The romance level of the show was not that high. To be honest I like the other couples better than the lead characters. All this said, there's still fun parts here there.

Another thing about the show, all that what we thought was random cases were all significant and connected.

Entertaining with convoluted plots everywhere

It would be too boring to call this a Sci-Fi, because it didn't have much science on it. Entertaining but a bit illogical to take seriously.

I was really confused at first. I thought ML's wife was having an affair, because her acting conveys that, which isn't the case.

Then came the issue of switched face/identity. It was presented to the wife and of course it was unbelievable . But shouldn't the first step checking for fingerprints? Anyway, these were the first few convoluted plots of the story.

Still, I managed to finish the whole series. Would I rewatch it though, maybe not.

Tagged as a RomCom but overdosed with tragedy

To be honest, I've just watched these because of the actors.. They're good. The concept of the show was good too, but its a bit poorly written and messy. It was tagged as a RomCom but overdosed with tragedy. Anyway, its still entertaining to watch.

The exploits/misadventures of the young cops were fun but sometimes mind numbing to watch. They were each given a good back story and enough space for character development. So, my interest with the show grew as their characters developed.

The portrayal of corruption and betrayal in line of cops, prosecution and even politicians were scary though.

Crime/mystery/psychological drama with a bit of comic relief on the side

I love this one. Story started off some kind of highschool love story with a touch of paranormal.

Then it turned into a crime/mystery/psychological drama with a of comic relief on the side. At first i thought there's not much on screen chemistry between the ML and the FL. But as the story progresses, I grew attached to the characters.

I also like that part that the FL was not just a pretty face. Yes she was bruised by the experiences she had while she was still young, but she was never weak or too broken..

Same with the ML who also had a rough childhood. A little rough around the edges but he still managed to be a young man with a good moral structure.

With sixteen episodes, the writers managed to give almost everyone a good backstory. Showing viewers who's who or what happened to the characters development. And oh, it has a happy ending. So, I'm happy. Good story, good actors, good OST..

Promised a supposedly a good adventure but..

This is an awful waste of time. I watched this because the actors looks good on screen and the premise of the show looks like a really good adventure.

Most episodes were draggy, I almost dropped the show multiple times. The effects used were not that good, considering that this was released only a few years back.

All those challenges, all those deaths, all that, for that mediocre ending.. I honestly mourn for all those deaths. With shows this long, there should at least have a happy ending to make all the death and sacrifices worth it..

Would I recommend the show? Maybe not. Would I consider a re-watch? Definitely never..

10/10 easy if it had a bit different ending. I'm a sucker for a happy ending, always.

Binge watched this one over night. I was hooked from the first episode up to the end. I just wish it had a better ending.

Story wise, its really a good crime/mystery drama with just a hint of a budding romance. I like that the writers took time to make each characters feels real or at least a bit relatable. They're complex characters with different facets. For example, the ML adopted father, who's a cold blooded assassin, save ML and took care of him. At his last breath all he wanted for his adopted son is to live a normal life.

I like the cast. I love the onscreen chemistry of the ML and FL. Its just sad that there wasn't enough of their love story.

Not that remarkable but entertaining enough to watch.

Love in so many forms were showcased in this show. From a platonic / fraternal love to romantic love of the the main leads. To the almost unrequited love of the supporting characters. Even a bit of familial love between the parents and their kids were shown here.

Typical first love story, but I found realistic enough with their mundane issues. It just proves that not all heartbreaks turns a person bitter and with evil persona.

I like the actors, their pretty entertaining to watch. Good OST.

What I dont like much was the fact that this 24 episodes could've been cut in half and it wouldn't matter much, too much filler scenes for my liking.

This is like AWAKEN v2.0

I was hooked from the very first episode. This one has the same vibe as the TV series AWAKEN, promising plot with a frustrating ending.

Lots of mystery/crime fighting within the show. What I didn't expect was the mellow romantic parts, but I really appreciate it. It gave a little heart to the show.

I also like the cast, lots of familiar faces. Good acting and good OST too.

Now, what I don't like is the fact the villains are almost impossible to kill. The good guys are always thwarted, fooled, betrayed and most of the time killed. Why did the characters suddenly turned stupid?

The final episode calls for a second season. If there's none, then the bad guys won and it has a lousy ending.

Would I rewatch it, maybe not. But I'm interested if ever there's a second season.
