Story: It may seem ordinary to you, and it is indeed but that doesn't make it any less impressive!! The reason that it is ordinary story is because it is very much realistic. The dirty politicians, power, money, schemes, conspiracies, assassinations, murders and injustice…etc. We see all this in many dramas if not all of them, however in here it does not come anymore realistic than that!! it's no longer a drama you will be watching the sad, harsh, cruel, and disturbing reality. Though reality isn't pleasant but the good thing about this drama is that it shows you both side. I can't say more than that without spoiling it.
Acting: Son Hyun-Joo this was my first time watching him and I'm a fan now! Impressive actor worthy of a respect and appreciation. Yoochun not so impressive but I think he was a good choice for the drama not a bad choice. So E-Hyun Very good as always but I wish they had given her more significant role instead of Park Ha-Sun because frankly she can't act and I don't understand her role it was unnecessary and stupid, I can't understand how a mere police officer does all that. Nonetheless, the small supporting characters whom had very short time but did a phenomenal job.
Rewatch value: I definitely won't be watching it again because I've already seen all the mystery, surprises and conspiracies. However, I wish there would be a 2nd season (and this my first time wishing for a 2nd season in a drama) because Three Days story doesn't end and it never will. The real life battle between good and evil, power money and justice watching that again in the same way in a new sequence with new stories that would be very nice and I would gladly watch it.
Overall: If you are looking for a fantasy, romance, comedy, fairytale, heroes always save the day… etc then this is not your drama. However, if you want to watch something which reflects reality and is worthy of your time then this is perfect drama for you!! In the end, it is just a drama it won't hurt to try and watch it who knows it might surprise you like it did to me (I finished it in 3 days just like the title) XD

Story: though the story is very simple yet it kept me entertained all the time! it's a 34 eps drama and yet it had me hooked up and entertained during the whole thing I wasn't even counting the eps (which is what I usually do when it comes to typical k drama)... I had so much fun watching each ep to the extent that I lost track of the number of episodes and found myself watching the last ep already!! This drama is a mixture of everything, comedy, romance, drama, family, dreams and hopes...etc I have to say the comedy part in this drama made me laugh like crazy and the romance part kept smiling at the screen, squeezing my pillow and even talking to myself like an idiot (yes it was that cute and lovable!!)... and finally the drama part at some point it even made me tear up (and I'm not a person who tears up so easily). The story isn't special but it was fun I really really had fun watching it.
Acting: LEE MIN KI!! I can't describe him in words it wouldn't be fair to him... I absolutely loved his character... there is no need to comment on his acting skills since he's the one who made my heart ache the most, smile the most, laugh the most and kept me wanting more of this drama more of Nam Bong Gi. Eugene did an amazing job I have seen her in 3 dramas she was good but here she's EXCELLENT I think Yuh Bong Soon's character is her best work specially the Satturi Accent I'm really impressed.
Music: though it's an old drama so the OSTs isn't exactly stylish, but I loved them all I really liked each and everyone of them specially the melodies they were really nice.
Rewatch: I don't really like rewatching dramas, but I think it's the kind of drama that doesn't die with time, you can go back and watch it again and still enjoy it like the first time.
Overall: "IRRLY" is very beautiful fun drama, so k drama fans out there please give this drama a chance... why not watch it while waiting for an airing drama? just give it a try it's really one of the most underrated dramas... I rarely give typical/simple k drama a 9 but this drama deserves it I enjoyed every minute of it.

Story: Though it may seem your typical 16 ep romantic comedy k drama but it's really not, it is definitely not a typical K drama and that's one of the reasons why I loved it. For once no evil characters no crazy insanely jealous characters no annoying love triangle and clingy characters... The story points out something very important in Korea "contract workers" and work environment... though the topic is serious they brought it out in a very comical way this drama was so funny I couldn't stop laughing not a single episode was boring... it's my first time finishing a romantic comedy drama in just two days because I watched none stop. They presented the story in a way that you understand how hard work environment while also laughing it out. I loved how they put it in a really funny amusing way I'm not a person who laughs so easily but this drama never failed to make me laugh out loud in each and every episode.
Acting: I'm totally in love with Miss Kim (Kim Hye Soo)... I've never seen this actress before but let me just say she really deserved the 1st place in critics evaluation for best actors... Miss Kim is my favorite female character ever made in K drama !! FOR ONCE not a push over weakling and a doormat for everyone character but rather strong, independent and super cool female character. This just proves that Queen of The Office is really not your typical K drama and Kim Hye Soo (Miss Kim) is worthy of your time trust me !!
Finally I would say it's a complete loss to anyone who haven't watched it yet and I do mean every word !!

Story: SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL and full of emotions... emotions that I've never seen in other dramas. It felt like watching something real something I need to watch and learn from, it didn't feel at all like a "drama" for entertainment. The story has everything you need to learn about life, about people and understand what trust means what betrayal means, and why people act they way they do, how to look beyond what you actually see or what seems to be right and how to forgive...etc For a change there wasn't evil characters, crazy characters, annoying characters, weakling characters, cheesy characters...etc NONE of the things which exist in other Typical K dramas were here in MDSY.
Acting: The whole cast showed an amazing acting skills from small characters to the main characters... I have seen Lee Bo Young 2 times before I never did admire her as an actress I was wondering why give her such a huge project the girl can't even act... well SHE proved me wrong !! No one would've done Seo Young any better !! my 2nd surprise was Lee Jung Shin this is my first time admiring an idol's acting skills !! I'm definitely looking forward to their next projects !!.
Music: The instrumentals were so beautiful went very well with the story... my favorite OST is "Melody Day Like Back Then" I can't stop listening to it
Rewatch
It's a family drama and family dramas usually are re-watchable in general so I'm giving it 8, but as for me I'm not sure if I'd re-watch it again I don't re-watch dramas except for really few special cases.
Overall
Are you looking for a good family drama? With slice of life? This is the drama for you it's one of the best family dramas that I've seen. Don't let the length scare you it is really worth the time

Story:
it was a good melodrama not the best but it's good, at the beginning you would "think" the story will take on a certain path but then BAM everything changes the whole story change !! and that's what I loved the most not the story itself but the way it changed.
Acting: IT'S THE REASON I KEPT WATCHING
It was BEYOND WORDS !! I was amazed/stunned by their level of acting hmmm let's see who shall I begin with... definitely Yoo Seung Ho !! I already liked this guy but I never knew his talent could extend to that level I can't even find words good enough to praise his performance he is the BEST THING in this drama without "Harry" this drama wouldn't have been as intense and interesting. Harry is one of the best characters I have ever seen I'll never forget those expressions of his. My 2nd surprise was Micky I was never a fan of him and I never liked his acting (to those of you who think the same of him as me I think you should watch this drama cus you'll change your mind like I did) he was really amazing he showed me some really good acting skills and I enjoyed his character enjoyed watching him and I look forward to his upcoming dramas. Last but not least Yoon Eun Hye she proved that she's a talented actress she's not just good in romcom only she can pull off such a complex sad agonist character like Lee Su Yeon I praise her for that and I'm so happy she chose melo (as a first timer in this genre she did good very proud of her).
Music:
The OST's were good the songs went well with the story... my favorite one was (Just Look at You) I can't stop listening to it's a very beautiful song with beautiful lyrics.
Rewatch:
It's not a re-watchable drama even for those who re-watch stuff but I might go back and watch Harry's scenes (Yoo Seung Ho's character) yes !! that's how good he was.
Overall:
Missing You is a sad heavy drama that's true and it's not one of the best melodramas out there but it's certainly is the best in terms of acting/performance and that alone is more than enough reason for you to watch. There are many good stories out there but not so many with OUTSTANDING performance like this one not so many with unforgettable characters such as Harry he's the reason I gave this drama 8 (Can you believe the whole drama turned out to be so good solely because of Yoo Seung Ho (Harry)??) AMAZING really.

Story: It is a good family drama, it has all the elements you would want in a family drama "romance, betrayal, deception, family bounds, sacrifices, drama, comedy, greed, obsession, love triangle, evil doings... etc". I think the story developed nicely there weren't any draggy moments (as strange as that may sound because even a 16 ep drama becomes draggy somewhere but MLBMS didn't). The story reminded me of old Mexican Telenovas (even though it isn't copying any show) yet the atmosphere seemed familiar (so it's like watching those beautiful Mexican series but Korean and only 50 ep instead of 100+).
Acting: Well, as in every drama there are characters you like and others you hate but what matters is that ALL of them did a great job. As for me I loved Kim Mi Sook's character the most she was the mother that any girl would want(unlike other K drama mothers she was 100% supportive to her daughter and does everything she could to protect her) When Lee So Yeon is harassed Kim Mi Sook as her mother would always run out and stand up for her daughter she's the one whon eases your anger on the evil things that are happening. The characters I hated the most is Lee Hwi Hyang's and her son (they were extremely annoying) and the things that Lee Hwi Hyang does PISSES you off (she's been doing such characters all her life yet she never fails to piss me off).
Music: I don't think I liked the music cus if I did I would've remembered them but I don't so I gave it 5/10.
Rewatch: I don't rewacth dramas and even for ppl who do rewatch dramas I don't think this is a drama that can be rewatched (It's a one time drama).
Overall: I enjoyed this drama very much and it was definitely worth the wait and worth the time. For those of you who love family dramas I really recommend My Love By My side (pls don't let the No. of ep put you off). This is definitely not a waste of time if you can spare the time then watch it (especially if you’re looking for something to keep you busy while waiting for another drama) then this is your answer).

Story: 2ND BEST MELODRAMA I HAVE EVER SEEN!! I agree with the other reviewer its 11/10 (yes it's that good!). In K dramas mostly the first 4 episodes tend to be very slow, yet in STH from the very 1st episode you're already excited, happy, sad, angry, pissed, curious, hooked and addicted !! You'll experience all those emotions from the 1st episode and that won't stop all through out the drama... Your feelings will not settle down and you won't get a break, the story brings out all your emotions in a very intense way that's why STH is not a drama that you'll forget you simply can't (those emotions will always be engraved in my heart).
Acting: 100/10 the acting part is what brought this story to life even though it's a super melodramatic story yet you'll still believe in every little detail and feel it deep inside your heart... The actors were the core of the story I felt each one of them, the good ones captured my heart and the bad ones kept me screaming and cursing all the time (I literarily wanted to go there and kill the stepmother and her daughter my anger towards them almost cost me a new screen). I loved Kwon Sang Woo before STH but I love him even more now (Man this guy can deliver such intense emotions he keeps your heart beating all the time and breathing becomes a difficult task) The only character that I didn't like Jung Su's father (he was annoying and useless).
Music: OMG I know now why everyone talks about STH's OST I loved every song every melody specially (Only Belong To Me) I just can't get enough of this song. The OSTs in STH are big contributors (along with the actors's performance) they both provoke your feelings extremely.
Rewatch: it might not be a rewatchable drama to most people but personally I would gladly watch it again some day cus this drama stole my heart.
Overall: As a K drama fan STH is a must watch drama... even if melodramas aren't you're type you still need to watch it. This drama is a MASTERPIECE and not watching it means you are missing out on one of the best K dramas that has ever been produced (it's now one of my top 5). 100% must watch !!

Story: The main reason why I doubted this drama is because of the story (Rich man falling in love with poor woman and everyone is against them) let's be honest here this concept is been used so many times already not just in K dramas but all over the world. What makes "Lovers in Paris" story so special?? Well, it is special the story made me go through so many emotions (and I'm not the type of person that goes through emotions or cry over scenes no matter how sad they were... it's my first time tearing up for a Romantic Drama such as Lovers in Paris). This story is really classic now I understand why, cus even though towards the end "certain characters" made me really pissed off and annoyed (I almost kicked my screen) I thought that I wouldn't rate it as 10 because of those characters behaviors towards the end (it was just too much) but what happened in the last episode was more than enough for me to forget about how annoyed I was with some characters. The main couple's lines and scenes were enough for me to rate this drama 10 they deserve it this drama deserve a 10.
Acting: Park Shin Yang !! OMG I saw him in sign and loved him there he's such a great actor I never saw his romantic side...but I saw it in here he is MAN you'd wish to have for your own he did a great job I loved him the most (his romantic scenes, his character and his acting SIGH everything about him was mesmerizing me). The rest of the cast did a great job as well Kim Jung Eun annoyed me at first but as the story proceeds I started liking her. As for Lee Dong Gun oh my I really hated him and got really sick of his character but that just shows he acted it too well for me to get this annoyed by him.
Music: I LOVED one song (To Your Side by Jo Sung Mo) OMG how I love this song whenever they played it I would always repeat the scenes and react strongly to the them... it's just too mesmerizing with breathe taking lyrics I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT I'm even trying to memorize it to be able to sing it as well as Jo Sung Mo I will love it forever.
Rewatch: This is one drama I would gladly rewatch because it is filled with sweet romantic scenes and I'm sure I'm going to miss this cute couple very soon.
Overall: This drama is one of the best romantic dramas out there, it is PURELY and COMPLETELY romantic filled with sweet romance!! Lovers in Paris is also known for its drama lines ppl still remember those lines said by the actors (I didn't know why ppl were making such a big deal about those lines even after so many year have passed I didn't get why until I actually saw the drama).... My favorite line for Park Shin Yang is "Ore Aige (My Baby)" and for Lee Dong Gun "You're inside me".

This review may contain spoilers
I'm writing this right after watching the last episode... I've been repeating the last scene for more than an hour now nonstop... Let me just say that I'm deeply in love with this drama, I'm so in love and attached to the point my heart hurts now that it's finished...Story: The story from the start to the end never ever failed me, the more you watch the more you WANT MORE !! It's the kind of story that touches your heart continuously and keeps your mind busy all the time. This drama is really special and unique, it so different from other dramas that I've watched before. My favorite theme is "revenge" and I have watched so many revenge dramas but they are absolutely nothing like this one. I would gladly explain why I loved the story so much but that would mean mentioning spoilers so I'll just say this "when you watch you'll understand why this drama is one of the best".
Acting: UHM TAE WOONG no matter what I say about him it won't do this guy any JUSTICE !! I loved his character the most he has done an amazing job and gave me an unforgettable performance. What makes this drama even more special is that EVERYONE did a WONDERFUL job and I do mean it when I say EVERYONE (guest characters, supportive characters and main characters they all did great). For once it's not only the main characters that shined others did shine too, each character managed to grab my attention not just the main ones. The characters in this drama are the most complex characters I have ever seen, you don't know who to hate and who to sympathize with, who is the victim and who is the devil.
Music: I loved the OST of this drama, it went so well with the story. The music contributed so much in the story it made it more real and intense. I loved 2 songs the 1st one is "Don't Love Me" (Saranghi Marayo) Sang by Uhm Tae Woong and the 2nd one I don't know what is the name of it so here is the link to it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RJa1zpHSPQ&feature=relmfu).
Rewatch Value: I think I would watch it again I'm even thinking of watching the Japanese remake of it (and I'm no a person who would watch remakes but in this case I will). However, since TD is a mystery drama it might not be a rewatchable drama to some of you (cus the mystery part will be gone).
OVERALL: The Devil in one word? a MASTERPIECE. To everyone who hasn't seen this drama yet, what are you waiting for?? start watching it now... FYI this drama is the 1st K drama that got adopted into J drama (it was always the other way around Koreans adopting Japanese mangas/animes/dramas) but in this case no and that says a lot doesn't it?
