Jiwoo lost so much and gain nothing.
Revenge shows are always enjoyable, since is an easy way to throw action into the big screen and some badass characters.Most people enjoyed this series because of "finally a strong female lead ready to kick ass" and that's not it, she's not "strong" she's completely broken, traumatized. It's pretty sad, and people don't see it. But then Netflix wanted to force the typical badass girl who can beat 10 experienced guys all alone.
The camara work is so weird. It has bad angels, sometimes some really bad fast movements and then very basic ones. It's not interesting or creative.
It felt the series tried to have plot twists over and over again to shock the audience, but everything was obvious since like ep 2. Because basic revenge stories are like this.
Some really hated the love scene, I didn't mind it at all, both of them were having a break down and that was their way to find contort (i guess).
Jiwoo lost so much and gain nothing. She was so blind, that she never really noticed that.
I had a totally different ending in mind honestly. I thought she was going to shoot herself in the middle of the fight with Moo Jin. I thought she would finally realize that she would never gain anything for that revenge and she already lost so much when she choose this way, even when Moo Jin told her not to seek for it. And maybe after that Moo Jin would be in pain cause in the end she never really betrayed him.
Anyways I was confident that she would kill herself either way.
I love the actress lead. But idk I wasn't a fan like other people for her here. I don't think she was a good fit. The dynamic between her and Moojin, yes. I can see the try hard behind it. It was very good. Moojin was probably my fav character and the actor slayed it.

I'm part of those 5% or even 0% who think this drama was just "ok"...
People were crazy loving this drama, but I didn't see anything special about it.
I started the drama because it is a school drama, and I love that type of shows and maybe because of Eunwoo too. I was curious how he would behave in a main role.
->STORY
It is different and it is about something that we don't usually see in shows: Plastic surgeries. But honestly that was the only thing that made the drama "ok" for me. And then we have the romantic side story, that was the usual couples we see in kdramas. But they focused in the romance too much.
->CAST
Failed a bit.
The characters are the typical ones in school dramas. The innocent main girl, the quiet, handsome, popular main guy, the 2nd lead guy who is nice and cute, the girl who is a bitch, the protective best friend, etc...
People were saying Eunwoo did really good and his acting is amazing, but where exactly? He didn’t change his expressions for the whole 16 episodes. We actually don't know much about his acting skills.
Im Soo Hyang//Mi Rae- Her acting was kind of ok, but she never changed her face expressions...it was so boring...
Her character was kind of off. She made a plastic surgery to be loved and feel ordinary, and there's nothing wrong with that, but she doesn't try to be loved either. Some of her actions are ridiculous. If she wants to start from zero, she needs to act like so.
Soo Ah, yes I’m going to talk about her, she was the typical bitch.
She has no developments during the drama, only in the last episodes we see her perspective.
I didn't hate her, I even think she was better that the female lead lol. But yes, she continued to be annoying.
I'm actually happy they added Mi Rae's best friend, if she didn't exist, it would have been a little boring, but it is a pity that we don't know about their friendship in the past, we always saw Mirai alone in the past...
2nd lead guy, another unnecessary love triangle...
->CHEMISTRY
Yeah, they were very cute together and lovely, but I have to admit it was kind of awkward.
->OST
Neh...it is energetic and good to listen to, but nothing more.
-> [Rewatch Value: Low just because I'm not the person who rewatches dramas, just really the ones I love]

The idea it's great, as well the atmosphere. The acting was also amazing. However there's so many little stupid mistakes.1. Like when she was screaming to call him (to save the other girl), how did no one heard her? There were so many houses near by.
2. The last fight in the alley, how did no one saw it?? There were so many noise and so many people!!!
3. The police officer didn't deserve that happy ending, sorry, I get it that you are worried about your sister, but you didn't need him to find her, the deaf girl knew where she was, you could just search that area, since this is all in one night, the killer couldn't move. (and it was also inhuman). Also why didn't he ask for backup?
4. The mother could have done better in the police station, like push the suitcase to make noise and show the tools (but well she was too shocked to do something, what is understandable) , but how tf there's no cameras there?? And the police just saw a fight and let everyone go home??? bruh
5. And yeah lets let two people (covered in blood) running by the road.
But I'm not going to say, that I hated it. I love this fast thrillers movies. So I enjoy it for it.

The story can sound a little stupid but it's better than you can think! The drama has everthing: comedy, family, romance, fantasy, drama, friendship, etc...and a cute funny couple.
I love the OST too, I listen it like everyday.
I recommend it for everyone

So, let me tell you what was the fuking problem with this drama:
1) The stupid/dumb/annoying lead girl
2) The annoying prosecutor guy (Kang Hyun played by Park Eun Seok)
3) The unrealistic side story
4) Everybody hates the main guy, who is the best.
1: Her character is the worst since the 1 ep, she's so poorly written, because she's intelligent but then...she can be super dumb and stupid. In the 1 ep, while they are investigating a body, she touches him without using gloves?? And she can't even do her job properly.
2: The prosecutor guy, no, the annoying prosecutor guy, who was useless at his job, his emotions and assumptions caused him to blame the main dude too much. A N N O Y I N G
3: Having a lead girl like that and an impatient prosecutor made the good story look less realistic.
4: EVERYBODY IS AGAINST OR HATE THE MAIN GUY. WTF?! He was the best: Realistic, serious, intelligent...but everybody kept judging him, for everything he was doing.
I kept watching the drama because I loved the story style, about forensic doctors, investigating bodies and finding the killers, the support cast was strong and made the drama very enjoyable (Lee Yi Kyung is damn cool and funny) and ofc the dope male lead who carried the show.
If in the season 2 the girl don't change I will not watch it...
Here's my review, sorry for being too negative.
BUT I'M GLAD THAT THERE WAS NO ROMANCE BETWEEN THE LEADS!!!

Choi Michaela shows that to us. She spends her short time trying to achieve her dreams. She's a character who is truly inspiring and makes us have hope and inspiration.
The drama starts with a warm and funny romance, then the romance turns out meloromance that slows the drama. Many people were saying that it was boring, but I didn't find it boring, just slow, what makes sense to the concept of the drama.
I completely fell in love with Lee Sang-Yoon, his facial expressions and emotions seem very real and pure. Lee Sung Kyung is very admirable and her acting is very realistic too, she had played many different characters and she's amazing <3
The chemistry was completely lovely and pure. There’s many scenes between the two main leads that make your heart race.
I think there are characters who are unnecessary or just poorly written/useless.
The story was pretty complex and sweet. Overall they could transmit a very easy message about life in a fantasy drama.
I really liked the ost and to see Lee Sung Kyung singing, she has a beautiful voice.
The end is beautiful...but I feel confused and little disillusioned...

One of the things that set this drama apart from others was how it taught life lessons through so many different types of relationships: A father and daughter, a boyfriend and his girlfriend, an old married couple, a brother and sister and a new found couple.
Each character has his own story and hidden feelings, that make the others don't understand and judge them. Thoug the drama they show slowy their feelings to each other and became a close family. Hearing and learning about the many perspectives from the characters will make you a part of this warm trip.

I have mixed feelings about this drama. It wasn't bad nor good, but sometimes I really hated it or loved it lol...
I was watching this just because of Kim Jung Hyun...and after his departure, it became a bit boring to watch....
STORY: 7/10
The story itself is boring, because we already know everything: the villains, the way the victim died and that stuff. It’s just watching the good guys catching the bad guys and finding out how she died. That makes the viewers and/or just me bored. But yet, it is interesting to watch from this perspective.
It was really frustrating to watch this drama because, the bad guys just become even worse and the good ones continue to be only good...and then Ji Hyun (Seo Hyun)... seems like she didn't do anything in most episodes...
When Kim Jung Hyun left the drama, I think the writer was really stressed out that the drama was falling down more and more...his character was carrying the show...at least for me.
CAST: 7/10
I like how complex the characters are.
Kim Jung Hyun//Cheon Soo Ho - He proved it here, that he is a brilliant actor and can play anything. His acting and character were just amazing. I don’t even have words to explain it lol
Seo Hyun//Seol Ji Hyun- Neh, is really a "Neh" for her acting and character. I felt like her character is a puzzle with missing pieces. It is missing something...and as I said before, she seemed to do nothing...what makes her even poorer. Then there was her acting, I do have to say, i'm not a fan of it. There are times when she's good and others she's bad. But she didn't convince me, sorry.
Hwang Seung Eon//Eun Chae A- I'm going to talk about her, since I really like her. This role fits her so well. I really enjoyed seeing her.
THE ROMANCE- It was actually working... dark and melo romances in this type of dramas work really well.
OST: 8/10
I liked the end. It wasn’t a surprise, but it was clean and complete, with nothing missing.

There's no doubt that "Mr.Sunshine" is focused on everything visual.
- Beautiful natural landscapes/background and scenery.
- Amazing and epic cinematography.
- Good color work, light and shadow.
- Classic and cultural clothing.
- Great graphics and effects.
- And even a great sound work.
It is beautiful.
The drama is very descriptive, detailed and symbolic.
The drama has a deep love story, which is something I usually don't like, but surprisingly, this drama hits my favourites and was quite funny. The comedy is so subtle and well tailored into the scenes.
Lee Byung-Hun is one of the best korean actors and the most popular internationally and Kim Tae-Ri has so much talent. A she proves that in one of the best movies, "The Handmaiden", so these two actors accepted these roles because, they knew this drama would be different and epic.
Amazing support characters.
Even though 3 leads love the same woman, their love is pure and everyone of them is willing to sacrifice. I really like the fact that there is no jealous relationship that turned people into evil beings.
The drama also shows girl power with such badass and awesome female characters, which I completely loved!
You can wait for 10/10 from all actors.. Acting, characters, excellent.
Mr.Sunshine is a truly piece of art.

This is the best drama from this half of the year. I really enjoyed the drama even though it had boring conversations about power and law (I really hate that).
STORY:
The concept of a twin that ends up taking his/hers brother's/sister's place is become more popular and it is very interesting to watch and even funny.
"Your Honor" had a perfect amount of romance and the story was pretty good and made me very excited to watch the drama. It is just a pity that the writer didn't show that much of the relationship between the brothers (in the present)...
CAST:
It is so good to see Yoon Shi Yoon again. He was simply perfect. He played his two roles really well.
He's such a funny and cute actor! He seems so comfortable in his roles. He and Jisung are the top actors that make dramas so enjoyable to watch and all thanks to their performances.
Lee Yoo Young - I really felt for her at first sight in "You drive me Crazy" and now I could see more from her. She's very natural and I like that fact. But she's a good actress with a good potential.
The rest of the cast had a good acting, but I won't say that I love the characters, because some of them were the typical ones in law dramas...
The chemistry was sooooo good!! It was so natural and stress free and 'Hate to Love' relationship.
OST:
I never paid that much attention to ost in Law dramas, but this one I couldn't stop listening to it.
THE END: [NO SPOILERS]
Bad, honestly....it was rushed, incomplete and not clear.
Not bad in the sad way, because it is lovely, but it was sooooo incomplete !! They didn't show what happens with the other characters and other things...

Overall, the drama it's pretty good with a simple story, but I think the music it's really bad. There's actually morals in the story that people should pay attention to. Anyway each episode has arround 30 minutes, so yes, you have to give this a try. (If you are sensitive to this kind of content, then do not see it)

First of all, I don't understand the title of the drama, it should be like "boss and the employee" or something else...
Secondly, every single character is boring. I was impressed by Suho’s acting, when he cried or got angry it looked awkward, but then, slowly, he improved. Anyway, his character was charming but boring...the same with the lead girl, the actress really needs to work in her acting, I didn't feel any emotion and I could see that when she cried it was fake/acting. Her friend was quite stupid and annoying, and her boyfriend was the same... Supporting characters were the funny ones.
Third - the story starts to be a mess. Seems like it doesn't have a point or objective.
Forth - the chemistry. I really didn't saw them like a couple, but more like good friends. They don't have a "start" or a "development" like lovers.
I wanted to see the japanese version, because the originals are always better, but after seeing this remake I'm afraid that I could just waste my time again.
I'm sorry, but this drama was the worst of the year, so far.

This drama has many random things, like: Romance, delicious food, drama, comedy, love triangle, betrayal, friendship, family, marriage that go wrong, second lead syndrome, revenge, gangsters, cooks, cook gangsters, "action" (don't take it very seriously), a weird/funny horse (YES A HORSE)... And you know what? Everything was amazing, everything was well written/made.
The drama is super refreshing and will give you the feeling "What the hell is happening???", what made it so funny.
I NEED TO TAKE A LITTLE OF MY TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE HILARIOUS AND UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS:
I've never loved a leading actress so much. Loved her honest character and loved the actress. She made me feel everything just with her eyes, I know this can sound weird, but I love seeing her cry, she's so emotional and pure.
Junho!! Loved him in "Just between Lovers" and seeing him as a sexy cook was great.
Jang Hyuk played the lovely gangster, who I fell in love with.
In conclusion, you can see the love triangle created, and I'm sure you will suffer for second lead syndrome, just like me, but honestly that didn't make me feel sad at all, because these 3 leads have the best friendship ever and there's no fights for the girl or jealousy and yet there is the awesome bromance<3
IT'S A FUCKING DOPE TRIO!!!
And we can't forget the support roles, who were hilarious and made the drama complete. I really appreciate seeing Jo Jae Yun in whatever he's in, he's amazing <3
THE ONLY THING I HATED was the mother of the female lead....so annoying and sensitive...
IF YOU ARE THINKING IF YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS DRAMA OR NOT, DO NOT HESITATE AND WATCH IT!!
ONE OF THE BEST DRAMAS OF THE YEAR!

1-School 2013
-My favourite was School 2013, amazing plot (Kim Woo Bin with Lee Jong Suk= best bromance <3) the story was so good it was really about school: students, teachers, family, exams....
-School 2015: I didn't like it...I watched 4 episodes, I also received a spoiler so I gave up. I didn't like the cast either.
-School 2017: I felt like it was a bit more focused in romance than the "school" BUT talk about school.
The cast was something new for me, I loved Kim Se Jung, she is so cuuuuuuuute :3 All of them acted so well.
Maybe the drama is slow but it gets really cool, but in other hand....gets repetitive....I can not explain well, the drama starts slowly good, then balances, but it becomes repetitive.
Waiting for school 2019 xD
