I don't normally watch other versions of a remake but I thought I'd give this one a go - BIG MISTAKE!!! This drama is about 25 mins without the intro and end credits. The could've made it between 45 mins to an hour with a lower number of episodes. It was unnecessarily long for my taste and so I did end up watching it in fast forward mode.

The female lead - For me, she was extremely annoying from start to finish she was annoying. Constantly crying with the "poor me" attitude, very desperate, obsessed with severe stalking behaviour. I feel like they had completely dumbed her down in this version and so I didn't see any development in her character especially as she was still childish going from school to college. I just couldn't warm up to her.

The male lead and his mum - OMG, this woman was more childish than the female lead. I couldn't warm to her either. The male lead for me showed absolutely no emotion, he was quite cold, distant and didn't wanna know.

Second lead - I felt he was the only good thing. He's acting was convincing especially during angry scenes.

I liked the song they played throughout the drama.

I will not be rewatching this drama and nor do I recommend it. For me, it was a huge waste of time.

The synopsis sounded appealing to me since I don't watch a ton of noona romances. The story was fine but then I got kinda bored towards the end of the drama so I found myself fast forward watching the last two episodes.

I found the male lead hilarious and silly at times and he had great chemistry with all the other characters around him. I felt really bad for the second lead male because he is obviously a very caring man who I wouldn't expect anything less as second lead. I didn't like the female's dad. Unless he shout speaks he seemed to be extremely angry through all the interactions he had with everyone. It was kinda disappointing to not see any actual pregnancy and romance progression since literally the whole drama was around and about the company. I understand the woman was supposed to be a workaholic but sheesh there's such thing as doing too much work.

I won't be rewatching this drama because it was way too much on the business side of things.

I recommend this to those who don't mind the lack of romance but like the business dramas that have a hint of comedy.

Okay, so first of all whoever came up with the geology part of the storyline obviously didn't know that it is in fact paleontology that is the study of dinosaurs and the only reason I even picked up on that is because I remembered Ross from Friends was always boring his friends with it. :P Anywho on to the business at hand. I have no idea why I didn't start with this installment of the U-Prince series.

I absolutely loved this series. It was super cute and adorable. I loved T-Rex. OMG did I love him! At first I thought he acted like a lost puppy and then I thought it was just really adorable how he always tried to see the brighter side of things even at the saddest moment. I thought the female was sometimes unnecessarily mean towards T-Rex but that just made me love him even more especially in his dinosaur hoodies. I felt that the story went at a nice pace considering it is only 4 episodes but I did wish it was longer by the end of episode 3. I also loved the bromance between T-Rex and his friend, very touching. This is probably my favourite so far.

Again I didn't really notice the music, I should seriously start paying more attention but ah well :D

I'd definitely rewatch all my favourite and cute parts.

I recommend this to those who are looking for sweet and innocent romance that is short and sweet.

Found this drama on Netflix, randomly, as you do after watching an amazing drama previously. The thumbnail of the drama looked really cute and the synopsis was short and sweet which now that I have completed the drama makes me wish I came on MDL early to get a slightly more detailed synopsis.

So 5 mins or so into the drama, I'm hearing the male lead responding to other characters in Chinese whilst everyone else was speaking in Korean (minus the 2 other characters) which left me a little confused because I wasn't sure if it was a one off. Half the time it made me think of Stewie from Family Guy (baby who somehow everyone except for his own parents are able to understand when he speaks - for those who have never seen the show.)

Anyways, back to the drama. I really enjoyed the story and for me it felt refreshing because for once its the man who is the poor one or at least just for a little while but I really liked that he didn't let the fame and fortune go to his head. The story itself was very sweet. You really get to understand why both leads are the way they are.

I enjoyed both male and female lead's interaction. Whilst I don't think the romance was rushed I do wish they spent a little more time on them as a couple and developing the romance a little more. Saying that I also loved the male lead's parents and the interaction they had with the little brother. I can't say I cared too much about the second couple or the female doppelganger who were both extremely annoying, needy, greedy, selfish and clingy . It didn't go unnoticed that the second male lead disappeared at one point in the drama.

I'm sorry but I would not rewatch this even though it is rewatchable as its a cute drama with a good story.

I recommend this drama to those who love cute romcoms that's mixed in with a bit of corruption and other crimes.

Someone recommended this drama because I was looking for some dramas that Cha Seung Won after watching him in A Korean Odyssey. I am so glad that I listened because this has got to be one of THE few best detective dramas I have ever watched. There was sadness, comedy, bromance and mystery - all things I enjoy in a drama. I didn't realise that Go Ah Ra was in this until I started watching and I must say I loved her in this drama. Having first watched her in Hwarang I told myself I'd never watch her in another drama. I absolutely loved her as Soo Sun. All actors did a marvelous job of making me fall in love with their characters, you could really feel the love and affection each person felt towards each other as well as their job. The actor who played Yeong Chul has one of "those" voices you know sounds familiar but you just need more confirmation and indeed it was him! He played his part as one of the villains brilliantly and unfortunately I wasn't able to hate him as I'd previously seen him play a good guy - its hard to switch off! The only thing I didn't enjoy was the grown a** woman who went running to daddy (who I thought was her husband for some reason - lmao) every time a problem came about and screeching all the bloody time. She was truly evil and screechy but I couldn't let that ruin such an amazing drama for me.

Story wise - this is a heartbreaking but also funny story. I found myself crying whenever Dae Gu was crying or feeling emotional, especially in his interactions with Pan Seok. For me, there wasn't much in the romance department or rather there wasn't much development and I was more focused on the detective work part of the storyline.

I loved the OST, of course. I don't think I've ever not liked one. :D

I would most definitely rewatch this drama because as I've said before, it is one of the few best detective dramas I have ever watched. I didn't feel like it was dragging at all and I wasn't bored - not even for one second. If you love a good detective/investigation with lots of action type of drama that also contains comedy and bromance then this is for you. I will also most definitely rewatch this drama even if it makes me cry, its worth every tear drop.

Season one was light, cute and fluffy but as I watched Season two, I felt that it takes a dark route. I enjoyed the story but when it went all killing and poisons I didn't like those parts.

I felt that the lead actress wasn't at her best and that her male lead was picking up the slack and I also didn't like the way Simba turned out but I loved that Shihuan stayed by his side even when Simba didn't deserve his loyalty or friendship. I also felt like Shihuan felt something more than "just friends" but who knows. Lastly, the woman that was literally stalking Junhe was sooooo annoying, honestly I don't even know how I held it together whenever she was onscreen.

I loved the OST.
Because of the reasons I've listed I would not rewatch this season but possibly season one. Great for those who love romance mixed with fantasy/supernatural and a bit of dark stuff.

This is super cute and funny! Didn't realise this even existed until I read a comment about it.

This should've been included in the full drama as it gives a bit more insight of what their life was like afterwards - or at least a second season that focus more on the couple. It was nice to see Seung Jo being a lot gentler and nice to Ha Ni but I personally don't think she's suited to do nursing.

I did notice there was a portion in the preview which was cut out but I guess they decided not to go with it and also showing some interaction between Ha Ni and her father but I guess he wasn't available . I may rewatch if I'm looking for something ridiculously short and sweet to watch.

Eun Woo was my reason for starting this. I was intrigued about the concept of using a smartphone to get revenge on someone. I was fully invested in the story because it was new to me. Unfortunately after maybe 11 episodes there was no more Eun Woo or subtitles :'-( and by the time I got to episode 14 I was just bored out of my skull playing a garden game on my phone. Whilst I did enjoy the revenge part I absolutely hate the bullying (in all dramas).

I loved the friendship between Eun Woo, the female lead and her brother and the fact that the first lead was always nearby to give her a hand whenever an issue came about. Didn't really care for anybody else.

I literally only paid attention when I heard an ASTRO song get played.

Even though I started this drama for Eun Woo, I stopped because of the lack of subtitles was driving me insane not understanding what was going on. Watching the characters doing whatever they were doing was simply not enough for me as well as the constant bullying. Therefore for these reasons I will not rewatch never mind actually complete it. Sorry.

I would say that I only recommend this drama if you don't mind the lack of subtitles (or you understand korean) and like the storyline.

Probably one of the few who really enjoyed this and didn’t constantly compare it to the prequel which I also loved. You don’t need to have watched season one to watch this one because it’s a different plot.

I almost missed out on watching this drama because I didn’t like the idea of not having the same cast because I was truly attached to them but I watched it for Lee Ki Kyung (Joon Ki) and I’m honestly glad that I did. I thought five of the main characters were really funny and enjoyable to watch.

Only letdown for me was Kim Jung Eun. To me she was quite a pointless character who did nothing but sticking her oar into other people’s business - which for me made her super annoying! Some of her scenes were funny but nothing memorable.

I love the different type of feeling I got from watching this drama especially as there were some episodes that made me feel sad to the point of where I started to cry.

I’d will definitely be rewatching this especially when I need a bit of a pick me up.

I do recommend this drama because not only is it funny but it also tugged at the heart strings for me.

I think this installment of the U-Prince series shouldn't have been named Gentle Vet because it seemed to focus more on the fact that Thesis is clearly a germaphobe. Yeah there's little mentions and scenes with him and his dog here and there but that was about it. The story was a little all over the gaff with multiple side stories which I didn't think was necessary but hey ho.

I found the couple sweet enough - just didn't like that they tried to make Thesis appear forceful in his mission to prove his sexuality and I also love the female's brother, aunt and friend and how caring they all were towards each other. Let me not forget the little dog who I thought was absolutely adorable in the little doggy outfits. The ones who I hated were Pun Pun and Jelly. Jelly was seriously too annoying for my taste especially as she was only a side character. She was definitely Jelly by name and nature and was extremely controlling. I thought Pun Pun was a complete weirdo. The surprise appearance from T-Rex honestly made the story better but I could just be biased in saying that because I loved T-Rex's story.

Only song I truly noticed was the music played during the concert which I enjoyed.

I recommend this only to those who like the series as this one was only average in my opinion but it does have some nice scenes.

I fished this out of the bin also known as my dropped list. I guess I was missing Jiro Wang's face. lol

So first things first, for the first 20 episodes I HATED the reporter and Mo Han. I hated the reporter because she was incredibly selfish. I hated Mo Han because she was whingy, clingy, and most of all childish. I noticed these two were all of these things especially when they were doing scenes with Xiao Dong but as soon as they were interacting with other characters they seemed watchable. I loved Peng Ze and Xiao Dong's friendship.

Another thing that I disliked about this drama was whilst it may have just been the lighting but Chris's hair colour constantly changing every other scene and Xiao Dong constantly disappearing and reappearing as if Jiro was not available for the last 8 episodes and had to replace him as lead using the other characters.

I loved the OST especially the one at the beginning and the story itself even with all the holes it had.

I loved the ending (well minus the last 2 mins lol) but I will not be rewatching this. EVER! Once was a huge struggle.
