This drama was kind of special. I really liked the plot because there were many unpredictable situations (that is what I like about dramas) and especially, I loved the situational humour. In one episode, there was one scene which was so hilarious that I was literally rolling on the floor laughing. I haven't laughed like that for a long time.
I really liked the main female character because she was strong and even though I would probably hate this type of person in the real life (very bad policewoman), I came to really like her. On the other hand, I didn't like the main male character, I prefered the second one, which happens very rarely.
I am a big fan of soundtracks so the music here was quite disappointing but to be honest I din't pay much attention to it as I usually do, as I was more concentrated on the funny side of the story.
This is definitely one of the most hilarious series I have watched so go and watch because it's worth your time!

POSITIVE ASPECTS
Firstly, I really liked the cast. In my opinion, the authors chose very good actors and the main female character was represented by Kim Jung Eun who is a great actress. This was my first time I heard of her and I will definitely watch some other dramas with her. To be honest, I started to watch this drama just because of Lee Joon Hyuk as I liked him in City Hunter. He didn't disapoint me even though his role wasn't so big as I expected. Overall, the cast was outstanding.
Another thing which I really enjoyed was, of course, the music! I am kind of rock music fan and I don't fancy dance and typically pop music. So this drama was right for me! They made plenty of cover versions of other Korean songs which were great. The song I enjoyed the most was Genie (originally by SNSD). This version is just amazing! If you have time, you must definitely listen to it! The singers are good as well. The most beautiful songs was To You (Dear Music), which has beautiful lyrics.
Another positive aspect are the dialogs. They are not stupid and makes sence mostly every time. This is always something I appreciate about dramas as I hate stupid dialogues and dramas.
Many people critised the ending but I liked it. It was quite realistic and nothing was overdone. I was waiting for one moment like other people as well, however, in the end, I am glad that it din't happen because I might have been disappointed.
NEGATIVE ASPECTS
The problem with this drama was kind of the story line. It seemed to me like I was watching 3 dramas at the same time. First part is about a divorce, then about some law stuff and the third part is about "ahjumma" band and music itself. Personally, I enjoyed the story but just didn't fit well together. I would love to watch a drama with a law theme but it didn't fit into this drama very well. That would be the biggest problem with this drama, I guess. The music part wasn't as big as promised from the plot summary and many people felt a bit down after reaching the final episode.
Another negative aspect was like in other dramas, not realistic scenes. If you watch this drama, you will see quite ridiculous scenes from the court, but it might be just my opinion.
To sum up, this is not an outstanding drama but if you want to watch something a bit realistic with great music and cast then just WATCH THIS. I enjoyed it!
