I just finished watching this drama for the 2nd time.
I laughed just as much as I did the first time I watched this drama, it is very entertaining.
Enrique - Que Geum was my favorite character of all - SO adorable! Dok Mi reminded me of myself - just like she did the first time I watched it - I could relate to her a lot.
Music: not so memorable except for maybe 2 songs...
Cast: everyone played their parts well - Enrique, Dok Mi, Part-timer, & Panda eyes were my favorite characters in that order.

If you haven't watched this drama before - definitely watch it if you like to laugh and like a lighthearted story.

I loved this drama special - the description is a bit misleading though - I thought it would be about a evil twin and a good twin but it wasn't; it was mostly about misunderstandings of the younger twin and how much the older twin loved and wanted to protect his younger twin.
It was full of action, drugs, cops....I cried a lot - but make sure you watch all the way up to the very last seconds.
Cast: was so good - the actor who played the teens and the one who played them as adults - they know how to act! Eunchang was my favorite character <3

I will definitely re-watch this drama special again - I think I'm going to download it too!
It's definitely worth your time.

I enjoyed this drama for the most part but it wasn't the best daily drama I've seen... It got really good by episode 40ish all the way through episode 80 something but by episode 90 and up it got really draggy and things seemed to repeat themselves way too much - it got tiresome to watch but I stuck through it b/c I loved the main lead guy Soo Hyuk a lot! He's the kind of guy I'd want to pull out of the drama and have for myself!

The drama is about a girl who gets her entire life stolen from her by someone she mistook as a friend who was actually a foe (a wolf in disguise) - the synopsis says after all this she fights back - which she does but by staying true to herself.

Cast: Kang Kyung Joon as Soo Hyuk - My absolute Favorite character in this drama!! The one who made me stick through this and enjoy the ride - he was charming, stable, trustworthy and firm - he knew what he stood for and what he stood against. He would hold our lead girl together and give her courage to do what she must. And he was in a standstill with his grandmother at the same time. He knew how to look past his own hurt and see someone elses hurt and forgive his enemies b/c of love. He said: "I can't forgive but I won't take vengeance either, there is life between forgiveness and revenge." - he's a very wise man - I seriously would date and marry a guy like him! He is someone you could rely on! He plays a chef in the drama and has a very carefree easy going personality that is sure to win your heart.
Park Eun Hye as Min Kyung Chae - she was the vice-president of the Hotel and lived at home with her father (the CEO of the Hotel), her mother who was in a wheelchair b/c of a birth gone wrong and her little sister who has a mentality of a 7yr old (born that way). She was a very honest and nice girl who ended up being too trusting and ends up being betrayed by not only her "friend" but her fiance and in the process looses her job, her lover, and her family - as she struggles to survive Soo Hyuk helps her and she finds new love and grows stronger in order to take down the person who continues to do evil.
Wang Bit Na as Eun Hee Soo - a girl who lived her life on the other side - she was full of ambition and envy - one night she kills a man and Kyung Chae is an unknowing victim - this makes Hee Soo see an opportunity and she weasels her way into Kyung Chae's life only to chip away at it in order to take it. She gets her pity and acts like an angel in order to deceive everyone and has no remorse on any of her actions. She constantly says "What did I do wrong? I did nothing wrong!" She is a snake through and through - honestly she reminded me of the Wicked Witch from USA Tv series 'Once Upon a Time' and how she was always so envious of Regina (she even resembles that actress).
Kang Ji Sub as Han Ji Sub - Probably the most Pathetic man I've ever come across in drama-land. He'd believe again again after being deceived and knowing he was deceived - all it took was a few sweet words and some seductory and he was a wimp in the arms of the witch. His attitude towards others his ambition/greed that set him on the wrong path and his actions when he felt a certain way were so so so so so pathetic (you'd know what I mean if you watch this) I swear that word was written onto his entire body - he embodied that word. He was however in the end a pretty decent guy who just truly wanted to believe his wife and trust her but in the end that was his stupidity.
Kim Da Ye and Lee Yong Joo as Min Eun Chae and Han Pil Sub (Kyung Chae's sister and Ji Subs brother) they were an adorable sweet couple! I loved watching their relationship develop - one of the cutest couples ever!!! (he reminds me of a younger and thinner version of Won Bin) lol
Han Ji Subs parents - His mother was the most obnoxious woman ever!!! Goodness I didn't like anything about her - looks, voice, mannerisms, the way she held herself, her attitude, her facial expressions - geez everything about her was a nightmare!!! her little spazzing fights with Hee Soo's mother however were quite funny (although I did skip most of their scenes only stopped to see them fight) His dad was like a run-over mat but generally a nice guy (and it was hilarious to watch him struggle to get up after he was pushed over by the fighting women)!
Soo Hyuk's grandmother - she was hell bent on vengeance - it blinded her and she didn't even have any proof she just had an assumption - luckily she changes later and I liked her after that. Her granddaughter Soo Hyuk's sister Soo Hee was a brat! No respect or manners for anyone but she was entertaining to watch with Pil Sub and Eun Chae lol

I don't remember the music....

If I was to re-watch this I'd only re-watch scenes with Soo Hyuk lol

"A woman who was born to cry." ~ Basically means she was born into a family that gets paid to cry at noblemen's funerals (I can't believe they actually did that!). That's their job, their duty - what a sad life to have to cry for your money... The daughter doesn't like this so she wants to smile for a living instead thinking it would be better than crying. Then we have our main lead guy who was born half noble (Noble father and gisaeng mother) So he on the other hand hates to smile. These two come across each others path and question each other on why he/she doesn't like to smile/cry - their answers were pretty much the same with different circumstances. They are both suffering individuals of different ranks who sort of heal each other - in a friendship kind of way (I'd like to imagine that their might be something for them in the future) lol ^^

Both Kim Yoo Jung and Seo Jun Yeong did a great job portraying their characters desperate feelings of desire, hate and anguish. and it was nice to see their "change" in the end :)

I don't remember any music besides the little bit Kim Yoo Jung sang on here...

Since I ended up watching it raw, I think I will go back and watch a couple scenes with subs lol - but other than that I think one time through is enough. It's not a boring drama special but it also doesn't have that much to the story either. I think its a decent watch especially if you are watching for a certain actor. For me it was mainly Seo Jun Yeong - but I also like Kim Yoo Jung so she was just an added bonus for me in this :P

I really enjoyed this drama, I was pretty much glued to the screen for the entire 16 episodes :P

About a guy who's girlfriend dies and in the midst of his claim of innocence his younger brother takes the blame. As his brother searches for the "killer" more is revealed, he does his best to free the false charge and find the true perpetrator. In his search for the truth, he makes new acquaintances and realizes things may not have been as simple as he originally thought they were. What is the true scale of providence? How do you weigh one crime against another? Do you punish them all the same? Does money and power influence your justice? Can you forgive and be happy again?...

Cast: Woo Bin (Lee Sang Yoon) was my absolute favorite character, I loved him so much, I felt for him, when he'd cry I'd cry, when he hurt I hurt. He was so pitiful, it was sometimes hard to watch him struggle. His biggest and only mistake was being swayed by his mother. Joon Ha (Song Chang Eui) I also felt for him, his struggle to set his brother free was touching and painful. I loved the moments between him and Woo Bin. Young Joo, a girl who is in love with Woo Bin, a girl who's love stands the test of time - we should all love like that. I really liked her character, she's a bit of a tomboy but cute ;P and I totally shipped them. All the side characters were enjoyable to watch, there really wasn't a character that I didn't like seeing.

Music: I remember hearing at least three songs and I liked them all, but they weren't played often enough for me to grow attached to any of them.

I would definitely re-watch this drama (honestly, if I had the time I'd re-watch it right now)

The ending was good, and I was very happy with two things :D There does seem to be a little missing or not finished - but I think they intended to leave it that way, so we know their fight for finding corrupt officials wasn't over.

Overall, I definitely recommend this drama!

It's not boring nor is it amazing but it is oddly enjoyable. ^^

I started this for Ahn Jae Wook and I liked his role in this film - even if he did look like a gangster with that facial hair, the gelled hair, the gold necklace & earring :P He was lively & curious. I loved watching him constantly trying to find out about his co-worker (played by Choi Ji Woo) - He'd ask her questions upon questions and also offer her un-wanted advice lol - which usually made her cranky - and I found that oddly amusing :P Choi Ji Woo's character is a little too obsessed with the thought of kissing and at times I'd look at her strange for thinking and practicing it... O.o I didn't like their boss or his lover (but they can be easily ignored).

Two people that have never kissed meet and become attracted to one another ^^

The ending was cute - but funny at the same time. (at least I found it funny).

Music fit the film but I didn't really pay attention to it - I did like the last song.

I'm not much of a kmovie watcher so I probably won't re-watch this - but it is re-watchable

I loved this drama from the very first episode! I was originally not planning on watching this b/c I'm not a die-hard fan of either Seo In Guk or Jang Nara (although I do admit there acting is good - just their drama choices weren't always my taste). But I decided to check in on this drama after seeing so many good remarks on the feeds - I watched the first two episodes back to back and got hooked - It was one of my most anticipated dramas every week after that.

Story: About a criminal profiler who works as an adviser to a team of investigator cops, they solve crimes together - but there is also a bigger mystery that ties Cha Ji Ahn and Lee Hyeon together.

Cast: Seo In Guk as Lee Hyeon did such an outstanding job that he has now worked his way into my favorite actors list! The stoic expressions and serious tone of Lee Hyeon's personality was so perfect I'm amazed! I loved every single expression (his eyes told most of the story), his blunt ways of saying things always had me laughing. He is trying to find pieces of his past that are missing in his memory. Jang Nara as Cha Ji Ahn was a strong-willed, stubborn and fun girl to watch - her "stalkerish" ways of following Lee Hyeon around were almost embarrassingly amusing :P I have to say her character in this drama is my favorite of all her characters. D.O's brief scenes were seriously good. Lee Joon Ho (Choi Won Young) - I was constantly wondering what was running through his mind, how his brain worked - his thoughts were such a mystery to me! One look could say a thousand different things. Seon Ho (Park Bo Gum) was at times creepy and at times adorably cute^^ The child actors were amazing - you could really believe they were the younger-selves of the older actors - in both looks and personality/acting abilities. Lee Chun Hee was such an adorkable character^^ Loved him, he could be clumsy, funny, sweet, and brave! Such an admirable man! The rest of the investigation team were great, I particularly liked: Kim Jae Yeong (The cute detective - my first time seeing him) & Min Seung Wook the silly dork - I couldn't help but laugh at his reactions to "Dave" lol :P I was glad to see Seo Young Joo appear on here for one of the cases - love this younger actor ^-^

Music: 'I Remember You' by Dear Cloud (my absolute favorite song), and 'I See You' by Shin Yong Jae (my second favorite song on the latter part of the drama).

Re-watch Value: 10/10 - I will be re-watching this drama soon! and I highly recommend it to detective/crime drama lovers! :D <3

I plowed through this drama real fast, I was so into it and it captured my attention at every moment especially by episode 6+ The chemistry between the leads - especially the male leads So Ji Sub and Yoon Kye Sang, I loved seeing them go from rivals to best friends. This drama is a masterpiece for anyone who is interested in the Korean War (or if your a war drama/movie fan - I'm usually not if that's all its about, but this drama has so much to offer - it gives you romance, Bromance (strong binding bromance), friendship, loyalty, strength, hope, anguish, tears, action, sadness, happiness and any other thing you can think of). I had debated whether to give this drama a 9.5 or a pure 10, I didn't like a couple scenes involving the romances (a little sexual at times may I say?) but if I put that aside, the writers did a phenomenal job portraying the harsh reality of the Korean War. So in my book, this is a true masterpiece!

Story: About the first year of the Korean War, when it breaks out and everything during that year (with fictional stories ingrained into it). A man who has been in love with one woman all his life goes off to war and news is sent back of his death, so his woman gets engaged to another man, then her love returns unharmed from war and her fiancé feels betrayed, they show the two men go off to war again together and we see them go head to head several times as rivals in love who soon become brothers together in war. It's a beautiful story ?

Cast: Lee Jang Woo (So Ji Sub) (have you ever watched the movie 'The Princess Bride'? remember the theme song? - well that song kept ringing in my ears whenever I'd think about Jang Woo's love for Su Yeon - she was his everything - literally.) He was a true lover and a great and true soldier, he protected his men and did his best in everything to survive - his purpose? He HAD to stay alive for the woman he loved. Yes he was my favorite character ? Shin Tae Ho (Yoon Kye Sang) the second man for Su Yeon but cast aside by her love for Jang Woo, he challenges Jang Woo at every chance he gets but gradually we see him "fall" for Jang Woo's leadership, and they cherish each other like brothers. I liked the bromance much more than the romance (both played a big part in this drama). All the other soldiers did an amazing job playing their parts and I'd grow fond of them and cry for them. There are a couple people you'll hate at first and then like later on lol

Music: The OST was so beautiful, I loved each and every song!

Re-watch Value: I'll get around to re-watching this drama again someday :)

This was a relatively good drama up until the last few episodes where Yoon Se Na (Krystal) starts acting all pathetic....
Story: About a guy who falls for his prior girlfriends younger sister...

Cast: Lee Hyun Wook (Rain) the main reason I watched this drama and the best thing about this drama - Rain's acting is always top-notch, I loved the way he dressed on this drama and his hairstyle was attractive too <3 He was very compassionate and caring & had good business sense. His acting alone was a 9/10 at least. Yoon Se Na (Krystal) her acting is really weak (she needs to hone her skills) I liked her during most of the drama until the last few episodes where she started to irritate me by acting the way she did (I blame the writers) She had relatively good chemistry with Rain until the show got a bit too melodramatic where I believe her acting falls short in this department... Dal Bong (yes it's the dog) I loved him, such a cutie pie <3 Shi Woo (L or Myungsoo) I liked him early on when he had the blonde hair but after he dyed his hair his personality changed a bit and I found myself irritated with him constantly praising himself...Bae Sung Jin (Alex) a.k.a Lee Hyun Wooks best friend - I really liked him, he was a good supporting character who knew how to dress^^ He truly cared for Hyun Wook as a friend. The rest of the cast are fine but nothing worth mentioning (some of them I never understood and some of them had pointless storylines..)

Music: Nothing spectacular, nothing memorable, nothing I'd want to download or listen to...just ok.

Re-watch Value: 2/10 - I don't think I'd re-watch this drama...

Overall: rating 7.8/10 - I enjoyed this drama all except for episodes 14 & 16 (the two episodes where I found Se Na to be irritating). If the writers had more sense this drama could have gotten a higher rating from me - If they wouldn't have made the last few episodes a bit slow and melo - I personally would have liked to see more sweet cute and fun moments together between the leads - rather than the depressing feeling I got...

This drama was very promising at the beginning but was quickly shot down before episode 20 unfortunately, the writer had no idea what they were doing with the story or the characters (I could have written this story better myself!). I had people torn up and brought together in my mind but everything I wanted went the way I didn't want it to go :/ I have nothing but bad things to say....

A couple great actors were wasted with this drama - I started it for Lee Jang Woo (and I loved his character, but around episode 20+ something I couldn't believe a decision he made that seriously made me wonder about his sanity... o.O) I was so ticked off I almost dropped it (and as I look back I should have) but I endured a torturous 30 more episodes :/ Jang Mi's family was horrible - everyone besides the sister. Cha Dol's family was awesome but rather stupid in choices they'd make... I loved the mother as well as the actress who played her (my forever East of Eden mom) but her talents were wasted here along with LJW's....

My most hated characters were: Baek Jang Mi, Baek Man Jong, Go Yeon Hwa, & Ma Pil Sun (another very talented "grandmother" actress wasted). BJM a girl with no brains. BMJ a money hungry loser. GYH a suspicious and naggy wife. MPS a horribly imaginative mother-in-law who only made her daughters marriage worse every day. - all these characters destroyed the drama for me.

Music: was ok but that's it.

I will NEVER rewatch this drama - it's one of the most disastrous and worst dramas I have seen up till now.

I only managed to complete it b/c of 3 reasons: I didn't want to drop yet another drama. I was curious about Cha Dol's past. & I wanted to see what would happen to the only saving grace couple of the drama - Park Se Ra & Go Jae Dong...

Just Don't put yourself through the torture of this drama.

I can't believe it's over already! I got so attached to all the characters that I'm finding it hard to pull away lol. I decided to watch this after finishing Road No.1 - and I'm glad I did. RN1 would be a story mixed in with the actual events, Comrades tells a story about the people involved in the war - I loved both of these dramas in slightly different ways - One thing they have in common (besides the same war) is the BROMANCE - I love bromance and I always look for it in dramas I watch. This drama will make you so attached to the characters you won't be able to pull yourself away. < It's that good. using someone else's words: *it depicts true brotherhood & friendship.

Story: Comrades shows you what it's like being in a war, what you can go through and experience, whether good or bad. The fear of death, the deaths around you, the friendships built and lost, learning the true meaning of what a soldier is, and never leaving a comrade behind. I like how this drama showed us not only the people from the South but also the ones from the North - how it showed that we are all people, and we all have feelings and people that care about us.

Cast: I fell in love with the cast! <3 Choi Soo Jong (Sergeant Lee) - One of the main reasons I decided to watch this drama, he was my favorite out of all the cast, his character was honorable, trustworthy, loyal, honest, sacrificial and fatherly - He really loved his 'boys' <3 Jung Tae Woo (Cheon Sungil) my 2nd favorite character - he was the soldier who didn't want to be a part of the war, he didn't want to kill and didn't want to be killed - he just wanted to go home and I just wanted to save him. I nicknamed him my puppy <3 He looks a lot like Choi Soo Jong - so much so that they could be father and son! I loved every single one of the comrades: Juyong, Taeksu, Beumwoo,& Il Kwon were my favorites but I also enjoyed the rest. Another actor that made me want to watch this drama was Lee Tae Ran (I became a fan of hers after watching Famous Princesses) - she has a sort of backstory love relationship with Sergeant Lee - I liked her in the beginning even if she was on the "bad side" but towards the end when she re-appeared I got really mad at her character - until a few minutes towards the end when I pitied her. > The cast did a wonderful job pulling the emotions out of me - I cry even just thinking about it lol

Music: Chinguyeo (Friends) by Kim Jang Hoon & the version sung by the cast were my favorites songs <3 I will Come Back by Insooni - I really started to feel this song during the later episodes of the drama. & Requiem for the Unknown Soldiers by Gloomy 30's - all the instrumental songs were perfect for it too.

Re-watch Value: 10/10 I want to re-watch it already - I'd definitely recommend anyone and everyone to watch this drama.

Wow, I didn't expect to finish this drama as fast as I did, I thought it would take me at least a week but it really only took 2 days, It captured my attention by episode 2 and I really sunk into the drama by episode 5. It made me feel a whole range of different emotions.

Story: The description is almost totally way off (it only tells very small details that have nothing to do with the real storyline) - It's about 2 teachers who teach a class full of different types of students - smart students, students who don't care, bullies, and our main ones who have a love/hate type of relationship. The teachers deal with problems that come about in their classroom and try to encourage the students to do well and keep coming to school. It's a really touching school drama. All the different things that happen keeps you totally engaged in the drama. The main thing that kept me totally involved in the storyline was LJS & KWB's relationship - I wanted to know more about what happened between them :)

Cast: Go Nam Soon (Lee Jong Suk) My favorite character <3 both him and Park Heung Soo (Kim Woo Bin) had the best scenes together - I cried, I laughed and loved the bromance & the hurtful scenes between them. Jung In Jae (Jang Nara) She deserves the best teacher award - she was so compassionate and loving towards her students <3 Kang Se Chen (Daniel Choi) a somewhat rude & cold teacher who is touched by In Jae's way of teaching & caring for her students - they team up & run the class together ;) Oh Jung Ho (Kwak Jung Wook) the most troubled student and the one you feel like wanting to care for and mother the most lol - Other "supporting characters" that I enjoyed: Lee Ji Hoon, Lee Yi Kyung, Song Ha Kyung, Lee Kang Joo, Han Young Woo, & Kim Min Ki.

Music: Don't Think You're Alone by Kim Bo Kyung was my absolute favorite song on this drama <3

Re-watch Value: 8/10 I'll definitely re-watch this drama again, It was so good!
I highly recommend anyone who hasn't watched this drama and are a fan of any of the actors/actresses or if you are a school drama fan, then this is one you don't want to miss.

I really enjoyed this drama special by KBS - I smiled, I cried quite a lot actually lol and the song at the end!!!! :D
Cast: Hyeongtae (Danny Ahn) - he's so handsome (knew him since G.O.D) he played his role really well - he was a bit rash at times but then loving and caring and when hurt he laughs - that's the best! and Jeonguk - I thought he resembled Lee Jang U (Dojin from Smile dong hae) a lot - he played his role really well too - I really felt for him - I loved both of these guys as the leads - superb acting :)
Music: the end song!!!! G.O.D!!!! <3 lol - since Danny Ahn was in this special I suppose it was to be expected even though I wasn't expecting it - it pleasantly surprised me ;D
Re-watch: yes, it had a great story in my opinion - besides the fact that I wouldn't mind seeing the leads again ;)

One amazingly Beautiful and Brilliant drama! Every episode was beautiful and thought provoking. By the end all you could say was "WOW, that was one excellent drama." It did not deserve to get cut, I don't know what is wrong with the Korean audience - how could they overlook this GEM? To me it's a masterpiece and it easily went to the top of my top 5 dramas! It has to be the best Medical drama I've seen.

Story: About a doctor who has anti-social disorder, he can't empathize with his patient or people in general. He tries to live his life like a normal person; he wanted his fathers approval that he was "normal". And a rookie traffic cop who investigates a few mysterious deaths that occur in the hospital. The medical cases were all excellent and well portrayed.

Cast: Jang Hyuk as Lee Young Oh did an Excellent job in his portrayal of an emotionless person. A man who struggles to prove he is normal to eventually accepting who he is. His conflicting relationship with his dad was one of the perks of this show. Secrets revealed and betrayals on the way. Lee Young Oh was my absolute favorite character! And his blossoming romance was one of the cutest things! So pure and so sweet ^^ Something I looked forward to every Monday <3
Park So Dam as Gye Jin Sung - she first came off as a bit annoying and slightly stupid *but I forgive her for that b/c she was a rookie traffic cop - not a detective*. She was a bit irrational in the beginning but once she realizes her mistakes she changes and I started to really like her. ^^ She ended up helping Young Oh the most - awakening him you could say. ;)
Heo Joon Ho as Lee Gyun Myung was complex and interesting to watch, his mix of love, guilt, happiness and anger all strewn into one was portrayed very well.
Kim Hyung Kyu as Yang Sung Eun was a great sidekick character! *I love him in every drama he is in* - he's absolutely funny! Made me laugh a lot. And the team of 5 "The Power Rangers" were also a hilarious group! I really enjoyed the side characters in this drama.
My favorite guest/cameo role was played by Seo Jung Yeong ^_^ I really enjoyed his character and story <3
Yoon Hyun Min as Hyun Suk Joo was a doctor who struggled between being a good person and being a good doctor - he was conflicted about what he should choose or how to balance the two out.

Music: "Dirt" by Bernard Park <3 I love this song and it fit so well with this drama!

Re-watch value? 10/10 I actually plan to re-watch this drama right away lol - It's that good!
I HIGHLY recommend this drama to anyone who likes thought provoking things, medical dramas, complex characters and dramas that make you THINK. It's a truly BEAUTIFUL drama that you don't want to miss! I think this is the only drama I have seen that I really wish was Longer - 16 episodes would have been absolutely PERFECT, but it cut short unfairly b/c of poor ratings in Korea. :'(
