This drama sounds off: a comic treatment of a serious issue. I am at episode 6 and just can't get used to the tone...is this a comedy or a melodrama?!? The slimy lawyer and his unbelievable affairs: how can any woman fall for such a ridiculous person? Why are the men behaving as silly little boys who act before thinking? I am really disappointed in this drama....

A handsome singer, a silly girl, a clingy wannabe girlfriend, a stab in the back best friend and a creepy music agent.... sweet but predictable!

I am having a severe case of SLS!!!! A good premise ruined by the complete lack of chemistry of the main leads....

Wow! This was some rollercoast, nailbiting, extraordinary experience of a show! Perfect ending! Great writing, excellent acting, amazing cinematography...Could we have more please?

I really need to rant about this drama's ML. The actor is excellent, he's not the problem but the character is: he is so weak for a smart, intelligent and strong person. The bad guy keeps pushing his buttons so easily, he riles him up and the ML in spite of deciding not to react to provocaton, jumps at the evil guy's throat cryng as soon as he says something. I wish the ML would show some backbone and levelheadidness but I guess if he were like that we'd have a movie and not a drama. Which is,btw, gripping, suspensfull and nailbiting, a great watch if you can stand the ML. This is for the unconditional fans of Ji Seung only!!!!

Can somebody please tell me what I've just finished watching? A drama about a drama writer writing the drama I'm watching? Too many characters, slow beginning, draggy middle, rushed and confusing ending! But very fun to watch, chatty, lively dialogues, interesting and silly characters with great stories.

Definitely better than Signal!

Episode 10: what an idiot! Up untill this moment this drama has been great!

The ending: Iljimae is dead for certain ! Four years later: the women in his life look sad and pathetic(mothers, girlfriends...). Nobody has seen him alive. The king didn't abdicate as promised so the last scene is him imagining Iljimae coming to get him! The reason Yong became Iljimae was to find out who killed his father not to steal and he discovered truth. It is hard to believe he would disappear for four years without telling anyone, he was too hurt!

Conclusion: do not try to understand any of it or find any logic in it.... it is non existent! Put your brain in pause mode and only then watch it and you'll enjoy it!..

After he gets his memory back (ep. 7 or so)he starts pretending to be a bumbling idiot and can jump over the roofs after a couple of lessons from his father! Waiting now for the swordfighting lesson which will turn him into a ninja thief! Aaah,the magic of tv! Ep.15 what's the point of the metal mask moulding his face(nose,mouth) and not hiding his identity in any way! Help! These plot holes are a legion and are as big as canyons!

So, have you rewatched it many times? Do you still like it? I love Lee Joon Gi and his acting skills are amazing but this drama is unwatchable....

So I am an unconditional LJG fan and have been now forcing myself to watch this, his early work... it is hard to watch! The screenplay(by the same writer who did Black and made me stop watching Kdramas for three years!) is all over the place and scenes keep following without any link with the one before (past, present, recent...). At episode 5 now,I just want to know how a cowardly bumbling idiot will become Iljimae : it seems impossible ! And then I'll be dropping this... It serms that this drama doesn't know whether it wants to be a comedy or something more serious.... It is really difficult to watch!

Watched it for the second time now and it is even better than the first time. Brilliant!

I am currently watching her for the first time, in Train and was struck by her being the dead ringer for Seo Ye Jin only to discover now that she actually played the young SYJ in Shark.. . Wow!

Currently on episode three : why is the ML always so angry? Everything is making him furious so instread of talking to people he literally jumps at their throats! Pills maybe or he is just like that? Edit: he calms down later. Much better after the fourth episode....

This is surprisingly good: light, funny but not ridiculous or cringeworthy, great chemistry within the cast, well written and acted. The bromance is hilarious.... I am enjoying this immensely!

Groundhog Day: the Korean version! The soundtrack is bad, the songs are unremarkable....a shame coming from a singer!

So, all in all this was an excellent action drama ruined by an unconvincing love story and a stupid FL. The best part is a fascinating relationship between the bad guy, all too human, and the ML, shaken in his certainties and realizin the world is grey not black and white!. A great watch!

Great drama! FL and SML are taking turns in acting without thinking. A couple of idiots ruining everything, thinking they are smarter than the rest..... Really, what the hell is going through your brains, you twats!?! Thankfully, there is LJG....
