Actors/Actresses/Personalities:
Well the main couple is ammmazing. They deliver all the emotions correctly. The supporting cast is also good in this one. If you also watched the prequel, you will notice that the fighting scenese are better. I skipped all the fighting scenes in the prequel. But I actually watched almost all of it in this one because they were really good.
Most of the evil characters are acting really good. Also I like it how also the evil characters sometimes have good sides.
Story:
Well, with the story, could somebody please tell me where have I missed the part that the story is taking place at 1980s? Because there are almost no televisions, the cars look old and there are no cellphones. So I think either I missed that part where they told the year or the writers wanted to make us guess.
They depicted as Soryo (respected leader) not as Yakuza. But I mean why use the swords all the time instead of guns. Also I don't understand why the evil ones also use the sword. I mean they mostly use guns but then for the sake of scenario they switch to swords. That is not believable in my opinion..
I really liked how the story unfolds. I am satisfied with the story overall. It is just your classic Thai drama. They gave us some surprising elements.
I really liked the Female Lead character. She is really strong. I think stronger than Male Lead. It is the opposite of the general Thai dramas . I mean there very little of scenes that the Female Lead is in major danger. The one in the danger was mostly the Male Lead.
I do not know if it was from the channel I watched, but some scenes were abruptly cut.
warning: There are lots of violonce scenes from the evil characters.
I like the Japanese culture so It was refreshing to watch this drama. I liked the clothing, the environment etc..
Music: Mostly music was good.
Rewatch Value: I think I wouldnt watch this again because there are lots of other dramas that I can enjoy Yadech :):)

It captures you with its lessons and it hooks you up because it is very interesting. I wish it was longer , i think i could watch it my entire life.
You really get the feelings. The actor and actresses were really good . I mean I thought I were with them..
This drama shows us the difference of the J dramas.
Definitelly will be in my best list.
one thing - I know it is hard to show but I always want more skinship . that is my preference :)

Good Acting with Sci Fi and Supernatural Elements. Storytelling could have been better.
Lee Min ho has done a brilliant job. He was acting with his eyes. I believed that there was another world and he was the real king! Omo! The female lead's acting was also very good. In fact everyone acted very well! And o-m-g the supporting actor and actresses' storyline were also very interesting. Normally I don't enjoy that much the supporting stories because they would be not much detailed and so on. But this one was really good.But personally I think the chemistry lacked a little bit. Nevertheless, the romance and chemistry was not that important for me in this show. I watched it for other scenes.
The story was good. Of course there were some plotholes in the supernatural side. (But it is the same in all supernatural, science fiction dramas.) Generally the story telling was really good. There were some episodes, which felt like , they were written a little bit sloppy. Normally I guess how the things are going to end up, but there were lots of elements, that surprised me. Also I dont recognize seeing a more fullfilling and satisfying end and last episode for a long time!
So if you like sci-fi and supernatural stuff with good acting and good scenes, give it a go.
special note: The villains were very really good. LEE LIM was fantastic! I wanted more of his scenes :)

Rewatching For a 100th Time!
This drama is old . But it is GOLD!Of course the graphic quality, the clothes etc may seem dated but it is a jewel.
It touches to your heart in a very exquisite way.. You feel the pain of the actors. And you encourage them, you want them to heal out from their past experiences.
Sometimes a drama can teach you a lot . This is one of them..
Story:
The story is very unique. It may sound a little cliche with traumatic past experiences but it is unique . It touches mental ilnesses and how we treat them. One or two elements were a little bit too overly dramatic but the story and how it unfolds was really good. Romance wise it is was also fantastic.. Both the lead couple and also side couple were very good..
Acting:
Amazing! you can feel all the emotions. Barbie has done a fantastic job. I sometimes watch it just for her.
Vic Zhou is really charismatic and delivers the profile reaallly good.
Other characters also had good acting skills.
OST:
I listen the opening song still after 14 years!

Happiness, sadness, right and wrong decisions, family, friends, love, aspirations, difficulties
If you havent watched it, you are missing a lot.
I actually wanted to live in that same neighbourhood.
I wanted to be their friends. If you have that kind of friends, Please do not let go of them and know each others value. It is very hard to make friends and very easy to lose them.
