Re-watch value: No chance.
Music: Not that great...
Cast: Park Hae Jin 10/10, Jin Se Yeon 9/10 (yes I am one of the few that actually likes this actress), Lee Jong Suk 7/10, Sora 5/10 (b/c of her obsession with hoon).

Cast: great actors (except the "English" lady) but poor characters - well all except the great Jo Sung Gyeom <3 (I think a girl would be a fool to not like a guy like him).
Music: really good (best part of the show maybe?)
re-watch value - 0/10 - never again. If I could find the writers I'd give them a piece of my mind. >_<
reason why I kept watching: Jo Sung Gyeom - and him ONLY.... I do NOT recommend this drama.

Story: An Angel saves a human and in the process falls in love with him. They are in High School so you can expect to see some bullying going on (as in all high school dramas). Woo Hyun & Seung Yeol develop great friendship and both fall for the same girl (as for me I rooted for Woo Hyun all the way). Woo Hyun's past ends up getting entangled with Seung Yeol's family and their friendship gets kind of messy - at least on Seung Yeol's side - Woo Hyun is a pretty faithful and honest very sincere guy who tries his best not to let things get to him or hurt him <3 (I think that's the reason I fell for him too).
Cast: Woo Hyun - my favorite character on this drama, he was so sweet and caring^^ and he was honest - I love it when people are honest ;) He runs a rice cake shop with his grandma & ends up meeting and falling in love with Seul Bi - he'd hurt with her & share her pain as if it was his own. Seung Yeol - a rather depressed guy until his life encounters Woo Hyun & Seul Bi then he starts opening up and laughing (until he finds out something towards the middle of the drama, then he kind off goes into bad guy mode & takes things out on the wrong people) - I wish his anger was shorter but...he'll be back to normal in the end (besides it's all a process of adjusting your feelings - he had to try and learn to deal with his mixed feelings). Seul Bi - an angel who saves a human only that made her turn into a human and now she has to learn how to live like a human - she learns about human emotions, love & friendships. She is sweet to a fault sometimes to everyone she meets - in the end they all get touched by her caring. There were only 2 characters that got on my nerves throughout the entire drama & they were Lee Ye Na & Seul Bi's senior angel >_<
Music: I liked it all <3
Re-watch Value: 9/10 I'd definitely re-watch this again, I thought it was really cute and sweet ;)
And as for the lead guys being "Idol actors" - one thing I can say for sure Woo Hyun & Seung Yeol can act a WHOLE HECK OF A LOT BETTER than their other group member namely "L" - (I watched this drama for the storyline - not for the actors - even though I know of Infinite & listen to a couple of their songs I didn't know the members until I started watching this). I did however know of the girl actress - as I've seen her in Can You Hear My Heart & Man from Nowhere and she is a good actress ;)

This review may contain spoilers
I would have rated this drama a 10 if not for a few episodes toward the end that I found ridiculous....Cast: Ryu Tae Oh - he was my favorite character (of course he was evil) but no matter how evil he was I couldn't bring myself to fully hate him b/c he was just too darn good-lookin' ;) and I think their was a shred of a human hiding deep within him.... I liked his scenes along with Ji Wool - their scenes together were always good.
Mad Monk - he was a pretty good detective and I liked him for the most part. as for Doc Maria - she was ok and then not ok - I found a lot of her scenes to be ridiculous. I hated one guy in particular (but to say who would probably be a spoiler).
Story: based on real events - I'd have to say they did a great job on this drama - I liked every episode except for a couple closer to the end with about that one guy I hated. I like the "lesson" they talked about at the end.
Music - Really really good! love the ending theme the most!
Re-watch value: possible - but I would be skipping and watching mostly only Ryu Tae Oh scenes lol

Re-watch Value: Slim, I don't think I will be re-watching this movie - just b/c it's a little hard to handle with all the issues going on - can kinda give me the creeps about people in this world - so many sick and twisted people....

Cast: Lee Sun Kyun as Lee Min Woo, a man who decides to be a real doctor when he encounters a traumatic experience where he wasn't skilled in. He goes under the guidance of Choi In Hyuk who shows him the path of a true and caring doctor. He's very empathetic and caring - he has a big heart and is also a bit foolish, charming and thinks with his emotions.
Hwang Jung Eum as Kang Jae In, she is the hospital chairman's granddaughter, but she keeps this a secret from everyone so she doesn't get treated special. She likes to be like everyone else and also takes great care in learning about the "why's" of surgery and the complications that can happen and why such procedures are required. She is smart and wise and thinks rationally.
Lee Sung Min as Choi In Hyuk, he is a traumatology doctor who specializes in emergency procedures, he is also the outcast professor/doctor of this particular hospital. B/c he takes on risky operations and does costly operations, he's grown the dislike of his fellow colleagues. I found him to be very wise and knowledgeable with a very warm and caring heart. (If I was training to be a doctor, I'd want to be under his guidance).
There are 2 other interns who I enjoyed watching, one always brought the "big news" Ji Il Joo and the other was a more collected intern Kim Sa Kwon - they added a bit of humor to the show.
The OST was all very nice (I included the songs in the comments section).
I personally would re-watch this drama again when time allows.
I'd recommend it to medical drama lovers.

The entire cast was fun to watch (especially so if you're a young kid watching this), Mil who could see the future was my favorite and the reason I decided to watch this kid drama ^^ Yeon Doo was the first to find out about Mil's abilities and she'd go everywhere he'd go (I shipped them too lol) Moong is Yeon Doo's little brother (who was always hungry it seemed) he'd go anywhere his sister was, even if he didn't know what she was up to. Ho likes Yeon Doo and would follow her around, even more so after she was with Mil all the time 'jealousy made him curious' lol Choon Bong as Mil's uncle was such a weirdo lol, but he was entertaining to watch, albeit a bit crazy :P
The music was fun! Both the singing songs and the instrumentals.
Definitely worth a re-watch! and It can be watched either all at once or one episode per day (25mins an episode).

Ahn Jae Wook was so cute as Oh Pil Seung ^-^ I loved all his "love note thoughts" throughout this drama <3 The female lead was fine but I had second "female lead" syndrome lol - both the girls were fine and neither got on my nerves, I just preferred the second lead over the main lead. The second leading guy was like Pil Seung describes toward the end of the drama "he's a guy you can't like but you can't hate either." < that sums up my feelings for him lol - Every actor played their role well, and those three business guys who were always scheming something (that never panned out) were quite funny :P Bong Soon Young's family were nice and funny. Pil Seung's grandma kinda had a stone face throughout the drama (but that's what her character was supposed to be like) I liked her anyways.
Music: 'Only You' by Jo Sung Min, 'Way of Life' by Oh Suk Joon & another ver. by Ahn Jae Wook, and 'mut dae ro mam dae ro' by Kim Gil Joong were the song's I managed to find and like ^^ (there was a ballad song I liked too but I can't find it...)
Re-watch value: 6.5/10 - It's re-watchable, I'm not sure if I will re-watch it - it won't be for awhile if I do.
I recommend it to fans of Ahn Jae Wook :)

The three main leads are Park Chan Ho (Uhm Ki Joon), Gong Chul Soo (Kim Heung Soo) & Joo Kang Yi (Shim Eun Jin) - they usually were on cases together in the beginning, then as the episodes progressed it'd be either both the guys or one of them and her working together. There is sort of a love triangle between them but don't worry it's very light - nothing that will get us "triangle haters" annoyed lol
Park Chan Ho is very carefree and doesn't care about other's opinions, he does what he sees fit and if he's suspicious of something he doesn't let go. He is also very sloppy and well rather dirty lol - he eats a lot and farts a lot - which was part of the entertainment - he was a great partner who really cared about people, so he'd make you fall for him even with all his bad habits.
Gong Chul Soo is the newbie to the team but he like the rest has a strong sense of justice. He's the opposite of Chan Ho in cleanliness - he is very neat and clean & adorable to boot ^^
Joo Kang Yi a hard nut to crack, she's warm underneath but rather cold on the outside (given her past it's reasonable) She likes to finish cases without involving her emotions but like Chan Ho if she suspects something it's hard for her to let it go.
I loved the comradery between the three main leads <3
Sometimes I wondered if I was really watching a drama about insurance - it seemed like detective work most of the time lol - especially the last 4 episodes. It made me think "ah, so insurance agents can wind up in sticky situations too huh? It can even get dangerous at times."
Music was awesome, I loved it - 2 songs in particular, one a ballad and the ending song - unfortunately they are no where to be found on the internet - I've searched with no luck :'(
The NG's at the end of each episode were my favorite things - I love bloopers ^^
I would watch this again but probably not right away.

Story: [I wanted to edit this right away but MDL was shut down so it's updated a little late...] Byun Ji Sook is a hard working young woman burdened with debt. Seo Eun Ha is a rich heiress. They are doppelgangers (they look exactly alike) - when circumstances and situations shift, Ji Sook finds herself having to live the life of Seo Eun Ha. As she is pressured into this life that she didn't ask for, she at first does her best to survive & protect her loved ones (old and new), we see her character grow from a weak scared individual to a strong and brave woman who is willing to take a risk in order to set things straight. Enemies along the way try and hold her back and stop her as much as possible. Min Woo is the heir to a huge conglomerate and he wants that title but little does he know that someone has been messing around with his sanity. This drama is full of mystery, crime, romance, deception and uncovering truths. It's a melo in every way - but not your typical melo - It's breathtaking (maybe even more so if you marathon it - I personally watched 13 episodes in the span of 2 days! and watched week by week there-after) - but I knew from episode one that this would be a drama that would be best reserved for a marathon and I never lost that conviction.
Cast: The entire cast did an excellent job! Joo Ji Hoon as Choi Min Woo portrayed a tormented man scarred with loneliness, pain, and lack of affection/love. His character is the most beautiful to watch. While he fights himself - fights to keep his sanity and fights to keep his belief in himself. He does his best to stay strong but in the process he avoids as much contact with people as possible - that is until Ji Sook enters his life. ^^ Soo Ae as Byun Ji Sook/Seo Eun Ha - she does a wonderful job showing fear, anxiety, love, hurt, pain and joy. Even if she wears a 'Mask' she still stays true to herself and is loyal and protective to those around her. Yeon Jung Hoon as Min Suk Hoon, he can pull of a bad guy so well - his face literally looked evil - with one glance of the eye, one lip twitch... he can be so creepy - he almost seemed immoveable. Yoo In Young as Choi Mi Yeon - I really pitied her character, I understood where she was coming from and where she didn't want to go - but she did a few things that no matter how much I understood her - it was still wrong... I would describe her as being stuck between a rock and a hard place - she was trapped in a cage she created for herself, and that was just sad. I didn't hate her - but I did get angry at her a couple of times. Soo Ae and Ho Ya actually look like real siblings! lol
Music: The OST was simply BEAUTIFUL! I love each and every song! 'One Person' by Moon Myung Jin, 'It Hurts' by Zico & Sojin, 'I'll Pretend I'm Dead' by Chancellor & Vasco, 'One Day' by LYn, 'I Hoped It Was a Lie' by Navi, 'No Love' by Byul Ha, 'Where' by Yoon Do Hyun, 'Similar' by Junggigo, 'I Miss You' by Seo Eun Kwang & Mi Yoo - My personal favorites (I love them all though) are: One Person, No Love, Where and I Miss You ^-^
Re-watch Value: 10/10 - I will definitely re-watch this drama! To me it's a masterpiece, it may not have been perfectly perfect but I loved it! I highly recommend this drama and hope you'd enjoy it as much as I did :D

Characters (My personal thoughts on them, my likes and dislikes):
----- Jin Ae: A daughter who grew up without receiving the desired attention and love that her brother received, felt alone and rejected. I've been a fan of Eugene since 'Loving You', she in my eyes is an astounding actress (will always be one of my favorites). I loved her character and I could easily sympathize with her. She loved her mom and just wanted to be loved by her (or shown it in a more affectionate way) and when she was given the short end of the stick seemingly every time she'd get angry and when her mom acted like a mom she'd get embarrassed b/c it was awkward for her. She admires her boss. Finds love in a "handy-man" lol - I personally really loved their story :)
----- Hoon Jae: Raised by a single mom in a rich home, he finds Jin Ae seeping into his heart and pursues her wholeheartedly ^_^ I loved this big lovable dork, a totally different side to Sang Woo then I have seen before - I especially liked those looks he'd give to his otherwise "rival" seriously so adorable, every-time he'd give that boyish look of competing to him I'd roll with laughter b/c of how funny it was and how adorable he looked. ^_^
----- Hyeong Gyu: I know this character received a lot of hate from the vast majority of the people who watched this drama but I honestly liked him for the most part, in the beginning he was stuck up and was only trying to reach one goal (riches) but when he settles down and starts to help Hye Joo, I really really liked his screen time and his character, he as his mom put it opened up his hardened heart. He does get on my nerves again soon after though and I almost started to dislike him a bit, but I was more disappointed with his actions than anything. His moments with those he cared for when he wasn't being rude was so precious in my eyes - especially in the last few episodes. So he was a favorite of mine.
-----San Ok Eomoeni: I loved her, I thought she was kind of mean in the beginning and not fair to her children, always favoring Hyeong Gyu and neglecting Jin Ae but as the drama unfolded my love for her character just kept growing, she was so precious and loved her children so much, and such a nice woman to all those who started to come into her family. The deepest character in the drama is her. She could make me cry with the things she said so quickly that at times I didn't even know I was being affected until my eyes started to burn and the tears started to fall. Such a powerful performance by this great actress. (she's become one of my favorite "mom" actors since I first saw her in 'Legendary Witch').
----- Chae Ri: Such a wild bright and engaging girl, I loved her sweetness and her rude charm lol, she knew what she wanted and she charged at it like no one else - easily slipping on shoes to fit her new environments without a care. Most of the drama I liked her alot - there were a couple scenes with her and Hyeong Soo that I thought were way too dramatic and all I could do was back up and laugh it off ( I honestly think the drama could have cut those overly dramatic scenes out of the drama and it would have made it better). She easily loved and cared for those in her life. A++
----- Hyeong Soo: For the most part he is a a sweet and kind guy but he had one major flaw that made me really dislike him for several episodes in the latter half of the drama - a HUGE inferiority complex - big self-pity. It really really got on my nerves and I couldn't help but call him pathetic and even a looser at times b/c of that attitude. But when he wasn't in that complex outfit he was a really great guy and I enjoyed every other scene with him.
----- Hye Joo: I liked her when she worked at the law office but she started to get on my nerves later on too, with her wimpy attitude of being such a fragile woman who cries at every turn and breaks with a little hard work (radish wrist -_-), she also had no discipline in her family with her son and her mother, she didn't set proper boundaries and rarely ever spoke her mind, she'd just tear up and whimper instead and that really got on my nerves, especially since her closed mouth ended up making Hyeong Gyu throw angry fits where it wasn't deserved. She was nice, but too meek. Her son was so sweet in the earlier episodes as well, but he also became a bit of a brat in the later ones (albeit his mom let him get away with it). Oh and I couldn't believe her and her mom wanted people to eat their very bad tasting food.
----- Dong Chool: I really did not like this character at all. He was such a flirt, always lost money, and even down to the way he moved, talked, laughed and dressed annoyed me lol (I've seen this actor in other shows so I was surprised with the character he portrayed in this drama - his acting was great but I hated his character). I don't think I could respect such a "father" or such a "husband". He was such a mama's boy that his wife struggled all her life - even after his mom had died. And who in their right mind would put up such a huge picture of their mother in their bedroom?!! So creepy! That did not belong in there at all.
----- Yeong Seon: Hoon Jae's mom, I really liked her in the beginning, but later on she gets SO jealous, at first I was amused at her jealousy, but then she started to act so childish b/c of it that I got annoyed at her attitude toward Jin Ae. I never hated her though and I still found her amusing with her jealously at times. I'm just glad this didn't go on for the whole drama b/c that would have been terrible lol - Overall she's a very nice person who just happened to be jealous when it came to her son.
Music was nice, I knew a lot of the background songs and the theme songs were nice as well.
I might re-watch this sometime in the future. I definitely recommend it to those who love family dramas.

My favorite character was Chun Doong (Chun Jung Myung) his character was filled with so much warmth and compassion - I couldn't not fall for him <3 I have since labeled him *mr. warm eyes* ^_^ I started the drama however for Lee Sang Yoon as Gwi Dong, but his character didn't impress me too much, so he was just brushed off as a good friend/partner of Chun Doong's. Even as a fan of Han Ji Hye, I couldn't like her character in this drama at all as Dong Nyeo - she was so prideful, arrogant and snobby. Looking down on the people below her in status - completely different than her childhood character. Dal Yi (Seo Hyun Jin) was a strong girl with a heart of gold, who also had strong beliefs in trying to right the ways of the world. I loved her as a child and as an adult. I skipped most of the scenes involving the many side characters as they were uninteresting to me. I hated the 'wet nurse' *Gwi Dong's real mother* <her actions to me were unforgivable - she could have been more redeemable if she had looked after Chun Doong with love - but instead she completely ignored his existence and treated him like Frankenstein during their brief meetings. and the man that followed her around all his life was very pathetic in my eyes.
My ships: *when they were kids* Gwi Dong and Dal Yi, Chun Doong and Dong Nyeo - *as adults* Gwi Dong and Dong Nyeo (although I must say I never cared for this couple's romance at all) and Chun Doong with Dal Yi <3
I think there are quite a lot of plot holes, but for me it was easy enough to overlook...
Music: I only paid attention to the ending song, it was a pansori song that I believe is sung by pansori singer Song So Hee - but I have been unable to find it :'( (if anyone does find it, please link me).
I won't re-watch this one, in my opinion, it's good for a 1-time watch but not for a re-watch.

I liked Kyeong Bin the most (Go Soo) and really enjoyed seeing him do his best to become real twin siblings with Seung Ni/Yu Kyeong (Kim So Yeon). They fought a lot after they first met, but eventually started warming up to each other and caring for each other. I enjoyed their journey. Su Chul (Ahn Jae Wook) was a liar and a cheater and I hated his relationship character - I did think he was a good friend and brother - but a horrible lover. (and this is coming from a fan of him). I think this was his worst drama. I really liked Nam Kyeong (the second sister - curly hair - Kim Ji Young) she reminded me a lot of actress Lee Tae Ran (a favorite actress of mine), she was nice and supportive to her siblings, honestly she seemed the like the oldest - like the leader of the pack if you will ;P Chan Mi was a good friend and I liked her role. Hwang Soo Jung plays the mute sister and she did a great job with her sign language & expressing emotions - I liked her for the most part - but ended up skipping half her scenes b/c she is mostly with AJW... :/
Music was EXCELLENT, I loved it! I have it listed in the comments <3
I will not re-watch this drama and unfortunately I do not recommend it - not even to AJW fans like myself. Go Soo fan's might like his part in the show though - I know I did ^^

Overall: this wasn't what I was expecting going it - the story really has no point - but if you like funny stories where people get hit a lot and you are wanting a laugh - this may be one to consider - I have a bad sense of humor - so the lead guy getting picked on by the blind guy who could fight was rather humorous to me lol ;P
Acting: great only by Baek Sung Hyun and Hwang Jeong Min - they were perfect in their acting and facial expressions ;)
