Story: 10/10 this drama what got me into some of the police/detective dramas that I watched later on my Asian drama journey. It was well-written & the character development is well-done.
Acting: 10/10 because I love the main leads. I've never seen the lead actress before this drama, but I have seen Hiro & Oguri in different drama before this drama & I think this is the best roles for them. There was great bromance, The male(Shu) & female(Yuki) lead's chemistry was great too even though it was not a romantic-comedy.
Music: I love the BGMs to bits. The opening & ending theme were amazing. Some not memorable, but I can over look that.
Rewatch value: 10/10 the comedic moments in this drama is amazing. I've watched it 3 times all the way through, and many, many more times to watch the comedic moments in the drama.
I think the genres in this are the following:
Drama, Comedy, Mystery, Police, Crime & Friendship.
If you like any of this genres you should give it a try.

Story: 9.5/10 because the plot was well-written & the characters were written well. I think it captured what it was like in Korean in the 1930s at the time, because I don't really know Korea history, just knew that it was just very bad during that time.
Acting: 10/10 because this drama what this drama introduced me to Joo Won! He is an amazing actor! He can cry well in my opinion, when he cried, I cried with him! He really shined in this drama. He can be a total (censored)jerk, but he can be very sweet.
Music: 9/10 because the music was amazing! The theme song (the judgement I think it was called) was amazing & epic. Most of the songs were memorable, but not all.
Rewatch value: 8/10 because it was a long drama. There were many sad moments, and very dark moments that can't watch a second time, but I'll watch it again for the character development, and the love story.
Overall, it was a great watch and I don't regret watching this. This is one of the best K-dramas of 2012. You should watch it if you haven't yet.

WARNING: SPAZZING OVER THIS DRAMA WITHOUT SPOILERS!! SORRY IF IT'S LONG GUYS/GALS/WHOEVER IS READING THIS REVIEW!! SO. . . LET'S GET STARTED THEN. . . SHALL WE!?
I agree with people when they say, "THIS IS THE BEST DRAMA IN 2013!!" because it's true!
Story: 10/10 because this story is original. The plot was amazingly written. The characters were well thought out by the writer.
Acting: 10/10 because the leads had out-of-this world chemistry! Not lying about that. People who love this drama to pieces will understand that!! The characters were well written like I said earlier. The actors and actresses were chosen well! If the actors/actresses were different, then I probably wouldn't like this drama as much as I did, that's how much I love this drama.
Sorry for the ramble next category GOMEN/MIANHE!!!
Music: 10/10 because the BGMs were memorable, it sets the mood of the story very well, it was always on point to where it was going to be. It gave the moment from to be happy & cute to very dark, sad &/or serious in not time at all. Love it to pieces & the opening song was great too.
Rewatch value: 10/10 because it was cute and memorable, & some of the scenes were memorable and great to watch.
Overall: If I gave a rating I would give it 20/10 for this drama even more because how much fun it was to watch this and can't wait for the next episode to come out. I'm probably going to have a withdrawl from this. It was an addicting drama & it's now over.
Sorry for a very long drama review. Now you get it. If you haven't seen this, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! You should've watched the drama first. Oh well, that's life & that what people do sometimes. *SIGHS* SPAZZING OVER & OUT.

Story: 9/10 because who hasn't seen a plot like this. People end up living together or boss & employee fall in love. But this was done differently and added a little twist to the story.
Acting: 9/10 because I've seen both leads in different dramas & they can both act. I've also seen the second male lead in a different drama as well. I think the leads have cute chemistry, but I felt that the acting from the female lead turned up a notch recently(ep. 6). I just can't wait to see what happens.
Music: 8/10 because the opening is cute, some of the BGM is memorable to me at least:) but not as memorable as others though.
Rewatch value: 10/10 I would watch this again when this drama is done because of the adorable actors/actresses in this.

The plot line is original, I think. I don't know if there is a drama like that.
Story: 10/10 because I haven't really seen the plot quite like this one. I have seen people who fall in love live together, but the reason for living under one roof is different.
Acting: 9/10 becuase I like the side characters are cute to watch & the leads have great chemistry!
Music: 8/10 becuase there are some cute BGM numbers but not memorable.
Rewatch value: 10/10 it's still airing, but this drama is so adorable that I want to watch it again when it's done!

Story: 9/10 because it's based on the Korean version, but it has some differences that I still like about this version.
Acting: 10/10 because I think the acting is amazing. I like that the second lead does more in his role so this drama can't make me choose to support Xin Yu or Tai Qing. The actress is doing an amazing job in her role(main lead).
Music: The music has always been great in all the versions. I love that they kept some of the original music, but also had new music as well.
Rewatch value: 10/10 because I like this version a lot like I mentioned b4.
I think that everyone got their roles down. I think the leads have great chemistry, it's building chemistry. The kisses aren't awkward, I can feel the love in the kisses & the glances & the jealous looks from the leads.

I really love this drama, I watched this drama about 3 times.
I gave the story a 10/10 because I love the story-line since the manga. It's one of my favorite Taiwanese dramas of all time. I've watched the anime before this because I was an anime fanatic at the time (mostly shoujo) and it was my favorite anime in the Shoujo genre.
I gave the acting a 9/10 because I thought that the acting was amazing. The chemistry was great.
I gave the music a 7 because it wasn't memorable except for the opening song "Say that you Love me" by Jason & Lara.
Re-watch 9/10 because there were great moments that I could watch over and over again. I would re-watch it to see the character development again and again.

The story was new to me the time I watched it so I thought that it was an original story to me.
The Music was not memorable. I gave an 8 for a re-watch value is because there were very sad moments in the drama and there would be some of the scenes I would skip because I got frustrated at those scenes but there were funny moments too.

The music is not that bad, but not memorable. I would re-watch this drama, but not too often. I probably watch the funny and favorite moments.
I just really like this remake. I think the family chemistry is well-done in my personal opinion. Like I said before, the acting is well done in my opinion. The leads got their roles down, and the main lead's family. I also got second-lead syndrome for a while like the original.
I really think you guys should watch this series.
