Sorry if this goes against the general opinion but this drama is just a giant ball of frustration and disappointment for me.

1. The beginning of the episode was interesting but then it just gets boring.
2. The main characters in the show are just really unlikable and there are no character development at all.
3. Its just stupid to think that the main character is smart and daring enough to run his security/pimp operation but then all of his other actions shows him just being a wimpy, indecisive and scared kid.
4. No backstory to explain what happened or why the characters are in these situation. Pretty convenient that Jisoo just happened to be saved by an ex-military man and proceeds to form a loyal partnership?
5. Positive is when we are not being frustrated, we are treated to some good and thrilling scenes that keeps you wanting more.

Light-hearted Rom-com

Not sure why this drama is rated as low but personally I've seen worst drama that as higher ratings than this. I would describe this drama as a light-hearted romance comedy.

Pros: The leads are visually appealing and the acting is good and the music/soundtracks are memorable. The over-the-top antics of the 2nd leads may or may not appeal to you.
Cons: There are no real depth to the story so if you are looking for some life-changing lessons or etc then this is not the place for you.

Personally, my wife and I enjoyed this very much. Overall, I would say I had a good time watching this and have no regret's on the time spend on this.

Wonderful, Unique and Deserving

For me, this is the best drama in 2020 so far. It does what it promises to do, tackling psychological issues and bringing healing to the viewers. The acting are top notch, and the chemistry between the leads are undeniable. And don't get me started on the music, it's perfect. The lead understand's their character very well and portrays them in a believable and unique fashion. If anything, the weakest part of this drama is probably the story regarding MY's mother.

It's been a long time since I have such a feeling after watching a korean drama. The last was probably "Goblin". And the best thing is even the simplest of scene or actions are capable of bringing the feels to the viewers. Overall, I loved every moment of watching this drama. Come learn some valuable life lessons and be healed emotionally by the end of the drama.

Strongest Deliveryman is not a standout drama by any means. The plots are pretty standard of what you'll find in other dramas, just standard David vs Goliath. What it does differently is highlights some of the difficulties and challenges faced, from the perspective of a deliveryman/deliverywoman and low-income citizens.

I personally think the story progresses nicely, but it did take me a few episodes to warmup to the Jin-Gyu and Ji-Yoon's personalities as I find the antics a little over the top. However, I absolutely love the romantic moments between Kang Soo and Dan Ah.

Overall, I think it's a good show if you are looking for some light drama romantic comedy.

It's unfortunate that a drama which seems to have lots of potential became wasted like this. Watched the drama because of Chae Soo Bin and was not disappointed with her as usual. However, the story and progression of the drama was disappointing to me.

Positives:
Acting was great, and the airport theme gives us a glimpse into the difficulties and challenges that occurs everyday.

Negatives:
Some of the character's actions or behavior will frustrate the hell out of you. Many unnecessary subplots and scenes for things that were not further explored or explained. Overemphasis on MC's secret.

Seems like the drama wanted to tackle many issues, but ended up doing none. It's a decent drama if you have nothing better to watch, but doesn't leave you with a memorable or lasting impression.

A Piece of Your Mind is artistic, beautiful, and warm. It's a story about unrequited love, death of love ones, and the journey to healing the mind and heart. For me, this is a drama that is not for your typical viewers. But if you are in need of healing, watch it. If you are in a dark place and need's hope, watch it. If you need some romance and warmth, watch it.

Personally, I love Chae Soo-bin's and was not disappointed once again. I think she's an actress that can portray emotions so well. The same goes to Jung Hae-in. I like how the relationship developed slowly and sweetly. You might be disappointed there aren't more kiss scene but you will be treated to lots of hugging. And it makes sense, to me at least. When you are down, depressed or sad, you don't need a kiss or make out session to feel better. You need someone to give u a long hug, to envelope you with their warmth and make you feel like everything is gonna be alright.

The cinematography and the soundtrack is excellent. It's calm, soft, soothing, and beautiful. The technological aspect of the voice device doesn't and will not make any sense, so treat it as you would treat a fantasy k-drama.

Did I mention how sweet and lovely the main couples are? Its the kind of romance that will bring a smile to your face.

It's a drama that requires you to think, to take notice of the small details that are shown. Like how the dark alleyway are fully lighted at the end of the show, perhaps signifying how dark times don't last forever? Or how the house is positioned at the top of a slope, and they placed a chair a short distance before reaching the house. Perhaps they are showing that whatever you are facing might be an uphill battle, but if you walk hard and long, there will be person there that is waiting to bring you to your happy/safe place.

The acting is awesome, the music is haunting, the storyline is good and it's a happy ending. Kim Sang-joong as Ah-mo-gae is already worth watching the first half of the drama. While Yoon Kyun-sang's Hong Gil-dong doesn't quite match up to his dad, he is by no means bad and was especially memorable during the last 2-3 episodes. Chae Soo-bin does an excellent job as Ga-ryung, and will dry you of your tears whenever she is given the chance to.

While some might feel the progression slowed down in the middle, it wasn't for me and I enjoyed every episode of it. The only thing I wished there were more of was the lovely moments between Gil-dong and Ga-ryung, as we only get them in flashbacks most of the time. Overall, this probably one of the most underrated Sageuk drama out there you don't want to miss!

I really liked the idea of the show, and the first few episodes were interesting enough to keep many hooked. However, the remaining episodes were mostly predictable and boring.

The standout actors for me are Jung Hae In and Lee Sang Yeob, who I think played their respective characters very well. The entire drama I haven't shed a single tear until the after court scene between Jung Hae In and his senior in the final episode. Unfortunately, I don't really dig Lee Jong Suk's acting at all and Suzy's performance was also just average for me. Also, I think there is a lack of chemistry between the leads and I just couldn't feel the love & romance.

However, the drama did provide some very good OST and I'm a sucker for dramas with good OST. High marks there!

Overall, the drama feels boring and lackluster for me. For me, I strictly believed that one should watch the entire drama without fast forwarding to get the full emotion and experience. However, I just couldn't stand it and found myself fast forwarding. I'm sure I am the small minority that feels this way, seeing how high the rating of this drama is.
