I felt Brain was an intense medical drama. It truly was about competition and relationships in the work environment. If you are looking for a romance, this is not it. I felt that the acting was great; the depiction of the neurosurgeon and the surgeries they featured were very realistic. I would have preferred just a little more romance because this was one of the competitive points between the two main male leads. This is also one of the dramas where I actually liked the second female lead better. Her story was interesting and felt that she was actually a better match to the lead. No romantic conflicts in this drama because the romance really is not the focus. If you have a love for medical dramas, this is definitely one to watch; however, if you are looking for romance, you might want to skip this.

Can't believe I am just now reviewing this! If you want to see a female in a seriously stupendous action role; this is for you! I was simply blown away with Han Groo; especially with the fact that this was her first role and she was so young! The acting; professionally done; the supporting cast; blew me away also. Kim Jung-Tae was tremendous in the role and made me a believer for the second time of his acting capability! If you have not seen this and warning, there is a lot of violence, this is for you!! Han Groo is now on my watch list of up and coming young actors! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

TPM effect is alive and well! I have lost count the number of times I have watched this very well put together drama! Every time I watch it, I end up marathon watching until the end. The acting was amazing! I was already impressed with Park Shi Hoo but his portrayal of this tortured soul was beyond amazing! Moon Chae Won's portrayal of not a wilted flower but of a very strong and determined young woman willing to do anything to protect her man; outstanding! The secondary romance between the crowned princess and Jong, you will become totally vested with that relationship also. This rates higher than a 10! It comes highly recommended!

No, its not Rooftop Prince, its nothing like it. Don't be fooled by the basic story. The bar for romantic comedies have now been set sky high! The tears shed by both as Boong Do and Hee Jin will resonant with the viewer. One step in sync as the the song says, same sky same place. The ending is perfect for the story and the premise of time-travel. Its a tale of love and a deep relationship! WOW! I may never look at another romantic comedy drama again the same! It will be hard to match or exceed this perfectly well crafted romance. If it turns out to be true that the actors developed felling after filming this, not hard to believe as their emotions as they played their roles was pitch perfect! BRAVO!!! ENCORE!! I wait for this writing team's next project! This truly is a perfect production!

I had an adjumma crush on LJK after watching Iljimae and wanted to see everything he had starred in, both dramas and movies. I came across this on Netflix. I watched the first disc from Netflix and immediately went and ordered the entire drama! I've never done this before. Never have I been swept into a drama so thoroughly that I immediately wanted to own it! The action, superb; the story, excellent; the acting, phenomenal! I became an obsessed fan of LJK after this. This drama is on my computer, iPad so it travels with me. There are very few moments where this drama is uninteresting. It takes you to Korea and Thailand; showing you the darker sides very well. I was hoping when LJK returned from service he would do another action drama but because I have totally faith in his acting ability, I am looking forward to whatever he does in the future. I don't want to give away any plot lines in this review, let's just say I highly recommend this to all, you will not be disappointed!

My first drama over 24 episodes became one of the best dramas I'd ever seen for 2011! I've lost count how many times I've watched this since the first time watching it! The acting was superb by both the child actors as well as the adults! I became a fan for life to the principal actors, Nam Goong Min, Kim Jae Won, and Hwang Jung Eum; couldn't wait to watch other dramas/movies with them as characters. Everything about this drama is wonderful! You watch a romance that started as children continue to grow as adults with little conflict in relations to how they feel about each other. The stories about each of the characters is amazing. The supporting actors Lee Hye Young, Jung Bo Suk and Yoon Yeo Jeong is amazing! There are so many aspects of this drama which are very good. From the acting, cinematography and music; no stone was left unturned and the writers made sure that the story flowed! What else can I say without giving details except, this is a must-see!

This was definitely an attempt to capture some of the excitement of You're Beautiful. Other than a female acting like a male, the similarities are totally different. The OTP recognize their attraction pretty quickly and the male lead, Park Yoo Hwan and female lead Go Eun Ah did a pretty decent job in acting. My only problem is this was obvious cut back in episodes so the last episode made no sense to me at all. I felt rush and a lot happened that was glossed over. But if you enjoy Kpop, the singers are very good and a lot of recognizable groups play supporting roles.

The premise of identical twins separated is not new to KDramaland; however, this story is quite different as it was a twist of fate that separated them and the lives they lead was totally different. The acting by Uhm Tae Woong was excellent. It was believable as it acted as both twins that were so different; night and day. The revenge was sadden at the fact that the brothers had so little time together. The love story was not as important because the main characters were in love from the very beginning. I really enjoyed this. It had its slow moments but I enjoyed watching each of the players responsible for the deaths to get their comeuppance. Is it worth watching? Only if this type of genre is your cup of tea. As I love suspense, crime stories; I recommend this highly.
