I think this is not only the first drama I have skipped so many parts of, but the first drama where I was disappointed and bummed out by the main characters being together. Dong Joo is way too good for Soo Wan. She was always whining and crying and making Dong Joo chase her all over to prove how much he loved her over and over again. Everything with her was drama and misery. I wouldn't recommend this drama to anyone and you couldn't pay me to sit through it again. Very little action and suspense, episodes seemed to drag on and be repetitive, and I don't think I've disliked many characters the way I disliked Soo Wan. The only interesting parts of the drama were with Teddy (though his manner of speaking by adding 'u' to everything was annoying) and with Ji Woo. Awful drama. It started off so well too and had such promise. Shame.

For up to the first ten episodes, this drama was so promising and emotional. However, I found that it started to drag, become uninteresting at points, and the episodes all seemed to be almost the same as the last. I felt like there were characters and plots that could have been expanded on a LOT more as well as ones that I didn't feel deserved as much attention as they got. I had high hopes and for a while the drama was a solid 9 for me like others have given it, but it dropped in my rating as it went along. This drama had enough promise to be a lot longer than 20 episodes, but it didn't end up that way and I found the ending to be abrupt and disappointing. It felt more like a "Well let's just end it here I guess" kind of ending more than an ending with closure and tied ends. Probably would not watch again, but I might recommend just because the story itself is original and the drama didn't follow the basics of a typical drama (no love triangle, no one single super evil character, etc).

I just finished watching this drama. I must say it's probably the most original and creative story I've seen in any drams I've watched so far. The concept of the parallel time periods and the mystery was really unique for me. It was so great to see a drama that, for me, really stood out against all the others I've watched. It lacked the predictability most dramas have. It was actually exciting to watch because I was never sure what would happen. My only gripe is that the ending seemed a little too rushed but I can still overlook that since I assume they probably had to cram it all in the episode. I'd recommend this drama to everyone. Fantastic!

I thought the drama was slow to pick up but around episode 10 it started to and it got enjoyable. It wasn't as action packed or as dramatic as most of the dramas I've watched, but I like it and the ending was cute. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something casual and lighthearted, as the usual big elements common in dramas were a bit lacking. I probably wouldn't rewatch it myself though because I prefer dramas that are more in depth and have more going on. The plot was good, but I think they could have added more to it. I still liked it though.

I loved this drama so much it's the first and only I've watched through twice. A lot of people say it's over-rated, but I don't think it is. Where most dramas are pretty much the same thing, YB seemed to stand out and do something really different. The characters and the story were very unique. It was also really funny too, which is a bonus. I also discovered a band (FT Island) thanks to this drama (From Lee Hongki being in it). I think it's high rated for a reason. It's actually really good!

Like other reviewers, I agree this drama started off so strong and then went so wrong. The first few episodes were interesting, they kept you on the edge of your seat. Then suddenly you're thrown into what feels like a totally different show that is just...boring. It's supposed to be a medical drama but it mostly seems to focus on what is, frankly, Hoon's creepy OBSESSION with Jae Hee. Yes, he was -obsessed- and it was unhealthy. I was disappointed that every episode was either "boring love triangle" or "lets do another competition that nobody will win."

I would not recommend this drama to anyone. The story is messy, it's uninteresting, and it's repetitive. The only high score I put was on acting, because the cast did a fantastic job with the story - just a shame the story was awful. If it wasn't for such a good cast I would have dropped this drama in a heartbeat (no pun intended)

This drama was just awesome. I loved the plot, I loved the suspense, I loved all the characters. I also can say I don't think I've cried more watching any other drama, and I've watched a lot of them. It's my first time watching a war-related drama, I usually stray from them, but I liked the cast so I gave it a shot and I'm so glad I did.

The whole drama wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped for. It seemed longer than it needed to, almost as if they were trying to drag it out. The episodes seemed to all be pretty much the same and there was no real action. I also disliked that they used the same actors for the past and future, as it made the adult versions of them look unbelievable. Also, no one's child looks 100% like them, ever. That was just a detail that annoyed me.

I think if there had been more action and actual drama this could have been better. One woman yelling "no you can't date" isn't drama... In many dramas you have one or two people plotting to destroy everything related to the people they are against (like the one parent and/or the one person who was always 'in love' with one of the two main characters.) But in this drama nothing happened, really. Maybe the drama wasn't meant to be as action-packed or detailed as most, but for all the hype about it I was left disappointed. Probably wouldn't watch it again.

I honestly do not think I've ever been more bored watching a drama before, and I've watched a lot of them. I understand it was a cooking drama so of course you'd see the kitchen a lot, but I felt like I was staring at the same spot for hours and hours and it really dragged. Nothing about this drama caught my attention. Nothing happens in the story, there is no excitement or that 'I can't wait for the next episode' feeling at all. It was really dull and I would have dropped this a few episodes in but I was hopeful it would get better and it never did. Even the ending had no feeling at all. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone to be honest.
