This drama was all over the place and a little aimless. There didn’t seem to be any real structure, and there wasn’t a tangible goal for either of the main characters. They didn’t come back for any real reason, and so it just kind of seemed like they wasted their time doing unnecessary things. Han Gi Tak’s storyline was the most interesting and driven. Unfortunately, most of the show was spent on other storylines that just weren’t as exciting and so it dragged. I was really disappointed in Rain’s character. He did a fine job, but his character just wasn’t written very well. Like I said, he felt all over the place and aimless. I could understand if he was just for a less prominent storyline and comic relief, but he had the main storyline. I’m not sure why the writers put such a shallow storyline in the main spotlight, but it really affected me being able to enjoy myself. I was constantly disappointed when Han Gi Tak’s storyline would make a short appearance and then Rain would bust through with all of these long, drawn out, and often boring scenes. I loved Han Gi Tak -- or Ha Na -- so much that I wanted to watch an entire show of just her and her storyline. Also, the ending was ok. Overall, though, this was a disappointment.

The absolute best thing about this drama was the chemistry between all of the characters, especially the male and female lead. The story lagged a few times, but the amazing relationships kept me watching. This was a nice fairly realistic look at several different types of relationships, and I applaud the writers and director for being slightly more progressive than a lot of the other K-dramas I have watched in the past. I loved this drama because of the fantastic characters and because it was so well written. There weren't any weird things happening for the sake of outrageous drama, and the character development was on point. I'm going to miss this one for sure.

This drama was absolutely adorable. I have to admit, after watching the first couple of episodes, I put this on hold because the story seemed kind of annoying. I wasn't super crazy about the main lead and I just wasn't in the mood at the time. But after someone begged me to finish it, I quickly fell in love with both the story and the characters. The story dragged a little too much at the end, but I enjoyed watching it none the less. Siwon did absolutely fantastic in his role, and he honestly made the whole show for me. This is really my first time ever getting second lead syndrome. I loved the main lead as well, Siwon is just more my type, and his story line was done really well. Overall, a really great drama.

Okay, I am going to admit that I have become a little obsessed with Jyung Kyung Ho. I don't think that I am the only one either. In addition to being absolutely gorgeous, he is also a stunning actor. The emotion and skill he is able to put into every single one of his roles is just astounding. Oppa's role in Falling for Innocence did not disappoint at all. Sometimes his acting would give me chills, and he definitely stole every scene that he was in. The main female lead was decent and I had a lot of love for her, but she didn't do much. The second male lead was annoying and I liked Jin Goo's character way more. He lived on as the second lead in my heart. The plot was what really set this drama apart from the rest. It was so complex and yet simplistic enough to create an entertaining story for tons of people. I think Oppa is just really good at picking scripts. I am giving this one a 7 because the drama is not as memorable as Oppa's performance was.

This has got to be the most well scripted and well-acted drama I have ever seen. Ji Sung, in particular, did a fantastic job with playing several different personalities. He was just constantly spot on in his acting. Kill Me, Heal Me has made it to my top favorite list. It had a great combination of comedy and tragedy that I find entertaining. And I loved all of the characters. Even characters I hated because they were villainous, I also sympathized with. That is what really makes a good villain. Fantastic drama with a pretty much flawless storyline. A must watch for everyone interested in being entertained.

I can tell why this drama is so well liked. Everything is so well rounded from the characters to the plot. This drama was hilarious and heartbreaking, and just amazing. I am so glad I got to see Jin Goo again, he is such a good actor, and he blew me away when comparing him to his other drama that I loved him in. The chemistry in this was absolutely on point. The two main couples were fricking amazing together, and they interacted as a group really well too. All such amazing actors and actresses. The storyline was freaking fantastic. I didn't think I would enjoy something that looked sad and depressing. When I think of soldiers, I think of death and war. I figured this would be that, and it was, but it was also so much more. It was funny, sweet, sad, contemplative. There were some amazing action scenes, and the editing was fantastic. There really isn't anything bad I can say about this show. It was just so fun to watch. I want everyone whether a k-drama fan or not to immediately stop what they are doing and watch this. It is just that fantastic. Best k-drama I have ever seen. Better than a lot of American shows too. Just good stuff.

The chemistry between the two mains was absolutely flawless. And for most of the show, that is what sustained my love for the story. It’s when the main conflicts finally start to take over that the story gets painfully bad. Mostly because it’s hard to follow why anyone is doing anything.

Most of the characters start acting really strange for no apparent reason. The father is a prime example. You can never really tell what he is thinking or what his motivations are. And this ends up being an issue for most of the characters. They do strange things, but we never really understand the motivation behind most of it.

The main female character also lives like this for the rest of the show. And what makes it worse is her dialogue. Someone really desperately wanted to make her sound mature by the end of the show, but she just ends up spouting complete nonsense. She says things that are so vague and nonsensical, she lies for stupid reasons, and though it may seem like she was changing for the better, she was really just retreating deeper and deeper into the shell of a woman she was in the first episode.

There are several scenes where she, instead of having a serious conversation with the main male lead, she just asks random questions along with inquiring if he’s mad 101 times. Maybe it was supposed to make it seem more realistic, but it still could have been done a lot better. Actually, she was way more mature in the beginning because it seemed like she was learning from the mistakes she made before the story starts. By the end it just felt like she was making mistakes just to spice up repetitive drama.

I literally just took off half a point because Young Kwang smiled too many times. Until by the end, the impact of those smiles kind of lost steam. It just seemed a bit over the top for him to celebrate with that gorgeous smile everytime he advanced in his plan. Same with the evil kid. I just think they could have varied those facial expressions.

Otherwise, fantastic drama. Young Kwang did great with his adorable self. Perfect for the role. Everyone else did really great as well. I love the story, marathoned this in like 2 days just because I had some work to do in between. Probably could have got it in one.

Music was my favorite. And I am positive I will rewatch this several times over. Just a really great drama.

I think a lot of people have a similar experience with this k-drama.

It was the first k-drama I watched, and it is pretty much how my obsession with k-drama starts. It is also how I fell in love with Lee Min Ho. That being said, this drama is really not very good at all. After watching so many other fantastic dramas, I realize how bad this drama actually is.

The story is all over the place, the main romance plot line is honestly hard to stand. Honestly, the best thing about this show is Lee Min Ho's performance. Though his character made me mad quite often, Lee Min Ho is just super charming in every role he does, so charming that he often saves the bad roles from being too terrible to stand. Everyone else's acting was okay, not horrible. They just had to suffer through a story that was just intent on being annoying.

Music was not very memorable, I'm sure it was the candy pop stuff that is usually used in basic k-dramas. The stuff that drives me crazy when they play it every time something bad or romantic happens. This can be done well and it can be done horribly. For instance, the music in Goblin was so good that I was almost begging them to play in over and over again.

I rewatched this drama in the beginning before I had found many great dramas. I was quite obsessed with Lee Min Ho at the time, so I think I watched it again after watching City Hunter (I still love Lee Min Ho, but I have honestly found much better actors that I love a bit more.) That being said, I probably wouldn't rewatch this again. I've rewatched many dramas, but this one is just not worth it.

As I have heard, this drama is really quite fantastic. I absolutely loved the two main characters. Wookie is my heart, but the main female had me laughing the entire time. I loved her so much. The story was simple with some great twists. The acting was great from everyone, though the female antagonist often acted a little unnaturally, especially when she was sad and depressed in the beginning. She did much better when she was going around being evil.

Overall, just a fun and heartwarming drama that can even stand the test of time. Must watch for any k-drama lover.
