Reviews

1) The reason I watched this:

I was attracted by the synopsis and the lead actors so I decided to give it a try without any sort of expectations.

2) Storyline/Plot:

This film's story wasn't special but it was interesting to watch, the general concept was something that would make you attracted.

Positive points:

*This is the type of story that fits the majority of viewers because it has an appealing concept.

*Main Genres:

--->Action: it was present in many moments and many turns; this element made the film enjoyable (I wouldn't imagine myself watching the movie if there wasn't this element) plus the action scenes were nicely made and very believable.

--->Humor: this film was hilarious but not too funny so don't get your hopes too high. Funny scenes were present every once in a while which made the storyline lighter.

Negative points:

--->Romance: it wasn't heavily present, actually we don't get to see a lot of romance in this film, it was superficial and not very interesting (except a little at the end). However, it doesn't ruin the general story but I can't possibly call this "A romantic film".

Story: 8.5/10

3) Acting/Cast:

*Gong Yoo:
This actor's films/dramas are always interesting to watch. Here, it wasn't any different; his role was a "cool" role that kept things enjoyable. His action scenes were nice too: great kicking skills.
Speaking about the character, I would say that Kang No-young's personality was sometimes mysterious and indifferent yet it can become warm and caring at some other points.

*Kim Sun Ah:
In my Dictionary, she has always been a good actress who knows how to deliver emotions. Here, I saw decent acting skills and some nice action moves.
The character was the strong girl type, it was really funny sometimes and super serious at other times. Chun Jae-in's school girl mode was greatly done, I liked everything she have done as a high school girl especially the way she reacted with her surroundings.

*Other Cast: The acting wasn't bad plus the choice of characters was nicely done that's why I have no complains about the supporting roles.

*Relationships:

--->Friendship : I liked that concept here even though it wasn't that deep but it was good enough to make you interested.
--->Chun Jae-in's relationships with her uncle and the police departement members was hilarious sometimes and enjoyable most of the time.
--->Romance: Due to lack of romance in the storyline, there weren't much chemistry to talk about.

Cast: 8.5/10
Acting: 9/10

4) The ending:

The romance was fixed in the end but this was your usual rom-com ending; the sort of ending that anyone would love to see on screen.

The ending: 8/10

5) My impression (How did it affect me):

The feelings I had while watching this:
*Some anticipating moments since I wanted to know what will happen next.
*Some excitement moments during action scenes.
*Entertainement moments were included too.
*I don't think there were any boring moments during the film; only some slow moments but they didn't last for long.

*Is this film memorable: yes, I think it can be considered as a memorable film although it isn't special.

My impresion: 8/10

6) Overall:

*If you like action films with a slight of romance then you may want to watch this.
*If you like strong female leads and cool male leads then this is for you.
*If you're into undercover films then you would like this.

Overall: 8.5/10.

I really like this series, the story is light, reminiscent of the love story of young people when they were still in school, full of love flowers, not far from the reality of life. Watching the BL series doesn't always have to have as many conflicts as other series. This series is also played by actors with good acting. especially dunk as the main character acted well even though this is the first series for Dunk. Joong and Dunk's chemistry is also very good, they match each other well. this series is good because it is supported by a good song ost and of course i am addicted to hearing the ost. watching every episode makes my heart full of love. wish it had a special episode or made a movie

Another great show is done. It is my admittedly novice opinion that 2011 was a really great spring and summer in Kdrama land. I think Scent of a Woman stands proudly with that group.

All around, I think that acting was stellar. Kim Sun Ah was wonderful as Yeon Jae. I loved the progression of her character. She went from a frumpy office punching bag to a woman awakening to life to a serious, proud, sad woman, determined to live her life the way she wanted. There were countless moments while watching this where her emotions came across and just blew me away. Lee Dong Wook; he was rather stiff at first and that stiffness was obviously more than his character's chaebol, "all dead inside" persona. But I expected that because the man has been away for two years. As time went on, that stiffness went away and I breathed a little sigh of relief. Uhm Ki Joon (Dr. Poopy Suk) was probably one of my very favorite characters in this drama. Watching his character growth, watching his steadfast friendship as Yeon Jae's doctor was joyful and heart wrenching. All of the side characters, Yeon Jae's mom, her best friend Hye Won, the Tango class crew...Her friend Hee Joo...They all had meaning to her life and to the plot. Well done.

My only nitpick is Im Sae Kyung. I'm not sure if it was Seo Hyo Rim, the writer or both, but her character was a one dimensional terror of a witch. I wish they would have helped me have sympathy for her. I know they tried to give her that in telling her history but for me at least, they mostly failed.

This plot completely revolves around her diagnosis of fatal cancer so I'm not giving anything away. Knowing that is your starting point challenges the writer to fill in the questions of what now? What will and must your character go through? This show had some very heavy moments, and it should have. They were dealing with death. But those heavy times made the small triumphs, the happy moments and the love connections, both romantic and familial that much deeper. The writing of this was so smart. It seemed so realistic that this is what a person would go through when told they have cancer and not long to live: The denial, hope, determination, heartbreak, panic, desperation and anger; Yeon Jae and those whose lives she touched felt them all. Every phase of Yeon Jae's journey felt right to me. It was hard to go through with the characters in points but necessary and didn't drag out too long.

The cinematography was beautiful. I loved the music; the love theme for Yeon Jae and Ji Wook was lovely. I liked the light "French inspired" soundtrack during happy times and many other songs too. They all seemed to fit well with the story. I loved the color palet and design of the sets especially Yeon Jae and Ji Wook's homes. I want to hang out at the Tango place. Also, I want Yeon Jae's wardrobe! She had some awesome clothes.

The message of this drama is simple: To live your life to fullest and to be true to yourself. To find happiness for yourself and those you love and most of all; finding hope, even in the face of death.

I recommend this! You will laugh. You will love the passionate moments between the two leads as well as the light comedic moments. But you MUST have tissues handy!!

I lowkey regret not having read the manga or watched the anime because this film was SO GOOD. I went into it not knowing much and never having even heard of such a game but boy- it was so, so interesting. The best aspect of the movie is the blend of modern and traditional Japanese culture in a high school setting. The game called Karuta is so amazing. I've never heard of the great hundred poems and one day after I learn Japanese properly, I'll probably sit down and read the poems.

The characters are really deep and well-developed in spite of the entire theme being them Karuta players. I love the main girl and her passion and determination for the game was really inspiring. I also loved the dynamics between her and her friends and watching them practice and bicker was very nice. The way these characters come together and decide to go the Nationals was amazing.

The romantic aspect of the film wasn't much but I enjoyed whatever they showed. When the movie gets intense, they also throw in some anime humour which saves it from being too much to handle. I think this film can serve as an inspiration for anyone regardless of what goal you are aiming for. It also shows how not just talent, but perseverance and taking care of your health while working toward your goal is equally important.

The main actress is really pretty and the main actor was also cute. I don't know any of the other side actors but they also did good jobs of their characters. Like I said, a big traditional side to the film exists and that makes it way more intriguing to watch. Like in the poster, the costume of the main girl was very beautiful to look at. So there's an aesthetic value attached to the film.

I think(?) there's a sequel to this film which is MUCH NEEDED because the ending left scope for a lot to happen. I think this has convinced me to read the manga and watch the anime because I've clearly not got enough of these characters. There's also a lot more story that can be told and I want more- so yeah.

I am super glad I didn't pass it up because that would've been such a waste. Hopefully by the time the subs come out for part 2, I'll have read the manga and I hope there will be more romance. The leads are so cute that I-can't-even...... Go watch it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Yumi’s Most Complete Chapter, Yet the Shortest

This is probably the only series where I’ve appreciated each season more than the last, which makes the long wait since Season 2 feel worthwhile. That said, my main concern with this installment is its length. It’s difficult to understand why the relationships that weren’t endgame were given two full seasons, while the one that ultimately defines Yumi’s journey is comparatively brief. After such a long hiatus, you’d expect the final relationship to receive the most narrative space, not the least. This imbalance stands out and leaves a sense of incompleteness.

Setting that aside, the season itself is exceptionally well done. Among all three relationships, Sunrok is the only one that truly feels compatible with Yumi on a deeper level. While her dynamics with Woong and Babi had clear chemistry, this one feels more grounded and emotionally stable. Even before the story confirms it, there’s a natural sense that they are well-suited to each other. In hindsight, the earlier relationships feel more like necessary stages leading her toward this more mature connection.

What distinguishes Sunrok is his restraint. In previous seasons, romantic progression was often driven by active pursuit, even symbolized through the cells attempting to enter Yumi’s heart. In contrast, he doesn’t impose himself in that way. His calm, measured, and respectful approach allows the relationship to develop organically. This understated quality makes his character feel more realistic and gives their dynamic a strong sense of authenticity.

Another notable aspect is the shift in perspective. Here, Yumi is the one who develops feelings first, while Sunrok is the one who ultimately confesses, creating a dynamic that feels like she fell first but he fell harder. In earlier seasons, she was more reactive, responding to the emotions of others, but now she takes clear emotional initiative. This progression adds depth to her character and aligns with the overall maturity of the narrative.

The primary drawback, beyond the structural imbalance, is how briefly their relationship is explored once it becomes official. The buildup is thoughtfully executed, but the resolution feels somewhat condensed. Given how strong their dynamic is, it would have been worthwhile to spend more time on this phase. That said, this season delivered some of the most genuine butterflies I’ve felt in a while, moments that felt just as exciting for me as they did for Yumi.

Overall, despite its pacing limitations, this season stands out as the most mature and emotionally grounded installment of the series. It may not have the same immediate intensity as earlier seasons, but it offers a more refined and realistic portrayal of growth, relationships, and self-awareness. It works as a fitting continuation of Yumi’s journey, even if it leaves you wanting more.

And if there happens to be a petition for a Season 4 with them, please send me the link immediately. I’ll sign it, promote it, and probably recruit others too.

One of the worst cases of cultural embezzlement I've seen in this genre. The producers took a popular BL webtoon and cynically manipulated it for commercial purposes into a one-size-fits-all tale of boys and girls falling in love. The BL storyline was reduced to just one of many and in some ways felt like a sideline to display the producer's cultural diversity.

We are meant to be seduced by the familiar high quality of the Kdrama team that worked on this contrivance of a series, but that was upended by the series conclusion, which just confirmed the scam that most people, I believe, suspected was being foisted on them all along.

A Must Watch Hidden Gem

To be honest with you, I came to watch this for Lai Edward and Wang Run Ze because I've seen them together with the same roles in a different drama (A Little Thing Called First Love). I didn't expect much thinking it would be a typical school romance drama. I was surprised by how complex the plot is being only the first episode. But if you're looking for a romantic-based school drama, I don't think this one is for you. It surrounds the plot of growing up and facing dilemmas, romance lingers as well but isn't as developed. The plot twist, in the end, is worth it. It answers everything!

The plot is a little bit cliche with time travelling and I was looking forward to its uniqueness and it didn't disappoint. The story is complex and was driven by both the characters and the plot itself. I personally can't think of any characters that are unlikeable or had underdeveloped stories. Everyone was equally important—Mr. Wang was just as important to the plot as Lin Xiaoran or Nan Xiangwan. Their friendship with each other is strong and healthy, and so are the love tensions between the characters which is rare in most dramas but I'm glad we're straying away from romanticized toxic relationships :)

The female lead, Nan Xiangwan's development surprised me the most. In the first few episodes, she comes off as arrogant and self-centred who only wanted to achieve her goal, to get back to Class 2 because of that, I understand why people are discouraged to continue—no one wants to watch an unlikeable lead. But as time went on, she becomes more 'human' who is shown empathy, she helped her classmates find a way out of dilemmas and problems. She still stayed to her true nature with her goal in mind yet helped her classmates as they face dilemmas. She's one of the strongest female leads and if you were to take out the male lead, she'd still complete the drama. The male lead, Lin Xiaoran started off as an alpha who makes a lot of impulsive decisions. He later grew into this person who thinks about what he's doing because of the female lead's presence.

The music is beautiful, especially Xiangli Xiangli! This is definitely a much watch. It is everything a cliche drama is not. There are no heavy misunderstandings and every single problem is solved, there are no plot-triggering characters and both the leads realized their love over time.

Overall, as much as I'm not a rewatch-er, you'd definitely catch me watching this again (and yes, I was teary-eyed).

I finished this drama this morning. I watched it raw and my Japanese is still rough, so I might have missed some things. On the whole I have to say it was an interesting story, with an interesting heroine. Even though this is a romance, the focus seems to be more on the main character's development.

I don't really like stories where you can't figure out why the guy likes the girl, so when I read the synopsis of this drama I was worried this would just be weird wish fulfillment and there would be no reason for the guys to like her. I was pleasantly surprised in that respect. First of all, even really dressed down, the actress is very pretty. I think it's realistic that people might notice that. Secondly, even if she's not very friendly, we as the viewers get to see inside her thoughts which are frankly hilarious. I like it when she is insightful and sarcastic (only inside her head) and the things she imagines make me laugh every time. I think the two guys are attracted to her in part because she has an introverted, guarded personality, and they like the moments where she lets her guard down.

I just wish the leading men were better developed, especially the younger man. I think there is substance behind the character, but you're left to just guess at it instead of seeing it.

Naka Riisa is worth mentioning here because this character, while still comic relief at times, was a more mature character than I've seen her play in a while. She handled it well.

It's Either The Three Of Us, Or None Of Us

This show was such a fun and sweet experience. I genuinely looked forward to it every week, I liked these three weirdos and their chaotic softness.

The premise is kind of wild in the best way, it starts off with a child narrator talking about Takuzo, a lonely guy who’s starting to think about marriage. Then there’s Mia, his ex, now dating a younger dancer named Shinpei. Things get interesting when the two attend a lesbian wedding, and Shinpei just casually suggests, “Hey, what if the three of us got married?”

At first, Mia’s thrown off (understandably), and instead of confronting it directly, she takes her boyfriend to her ex’s place, hoping it’ll stir some jealousy and kill the idea. But surprise, Shinpei and Takuzo actually hit it off. Not even a hint of rivalry. They get along so well it catches Mia off guard.

The sweet twist early on is that the child narrator turns out to be Pakhun, the pet rabbit Mia and Takuzo raised when they were dating. He’s been watching over them from rabbit heaven this whole time. That reveal mid-ep 1 was such a funny, touching moment and instantly made me love the tone the show was going for.

Throughout the episodes, we slowly unpack each character, we got some focus on Takuzo, his past, his insecurities, and his lingering feelings for Mia. We meet Sayo, a co-worker who shares his random hobby of building Lego cities. She believes in platonic friendship between men and women, but the show teases her as a love rival. Honestly, I wish they’d kept her strictly as a friend. The trio dynamic was strong enough, and her romance subplot felt unnecessary.

One of the highlights for me was how the show portrayed the trio relationship. It had its ups and downs, but it wasn’t over-dramatized. The three of them actually talk, support each other, and even argue in a realistic way. When Takuzo gets sick and Mia and Shinpei come over to take care of him, I was like okay, these three are already kind of living like a family. You can really feel how their connection grows, slowly and believably.

The final episodes bring everything together. There are a few emotional stumbles, some pushback from people around them, but nothing overly cruel or unrealistic. Even the mothers’ reactions were done well, shocked but not villainized. They take time to process, then try to support. It felt grounded.

And the ending was So cute. The trio basically says: it’s either the three of us or none of us. And they actually go through with the marriage. The show doesn’t treat it as a joke or phase, it gives them a real, soft, happy ending.

My only real critique is that while the show depicts a poly relationship, it doesn’t feel like it was written by someone who’s poly or queer. There’s a slight outsider lens, like it’s more of a thought experiment than something personal. It’s respectful, yes, but not quite as layered or lived-in as it could’ve been.

Still, overall, Sannin Fufu was a warm, charming, and refreshingly odd little gem. It didn’t always hit super deep, but it knew what it was doing: telling a story about people figuring out how to love each other in a way that works for them. And that’s honestly enough.

I didn’t expect much from this drama at first. There are 70 episodes and that’s usually a red flag to me because chinese dramas always tend to drag toward the middle. However, I was so wrong because this is one of the few long dramas that stay consistently engaging till the end. I’m surprised i didn’t even skip through the drama and actually watch everything. The production was amazing and all the costumes and scenery was aesthetically pleasing. The osts was also amazing.

I loved the friendship between the empress and our main character which was the main focus for first half of the drama. They just complete each other, and you can’t help but love Ying luo played dirty to protect herself and the empress. The later half of the drama focused on Ying luo’s revenge and her relationship with the emperor which just as interesting. They are one crazy pairing compared to Ying luo’s first love but i somehow feel like they also completed each other the best. You can see the progress in their relationship. Some time push and pull really goes along the way. I love when he hated her at first but end up falling for her. I know Ying luo’s character is unrealistic at times for some people but in order to survive in the palace, you need to be like her LOL. She have both luck and the brain to protect herself. This drama would not be as interesting if she’s weak and can’t do anything about her situation most of the time.
Overall, it was a nice surprise approaching this drama. Every characters, including the maids and eunuchs were all memorable. Beside it’s insane popularity in China, the hype was real in Vietnam as well. Memes and talks about this drama are every where because of the satisfying plot and diverse characters. 10/10 would recommend even if it’s long, you would still want to watch more if you end up loving it.

Where to begin with this mess of a drama? It wasn't good. And that's putting it mildly. Oh My Ghostess' biggest pitfall is in its plot. At first the plot seems rather straightforward; a shy girl gets possessed by an outgoing virgin ghost who is trying to get laid. Easy, simple, straightforward. So where did it go wrong?

By making the ghost, Shin Sun Ae, the second female lead instead of the female lead the show immediately opened itself up to a storm of problems. Our main male lead, Kang Seon Woo, falls in love with the ghost-possessed version of the female lead first and because of that fact the viewer is left wondering throughout every subsequent interaction between the two leads whether he actually loves Na Bong Sun for her own qualities or loves the version of her that is actually Sun Ae. This confusion both on the part of Seon Woo and the audience completely destroys the validity of the romance between the two leads. What's more the writer did little to engender Bong Sun to either Seon Woo or the audience based on her own merits. Sun Ae is clearly the more fun, kind, and lively of the two women and Bong Sun is so painfully shy for the first half of the show that she is almost entirely devoid of personality. The show's choice to stop clearly showing the audience when Bong Sun is being possessed versus when she isn't was also executed poorly. Bong Sun's personality, as she becomes less shy, starts to resemble Sun Ae's too much. There were times when I could not tell which version of Bong Sun I was watching in a scene. Was she possessed? Not possessed? Is Seon Woo in love with Bong Sun? With Sun Ae? I certainly didn't know and still don't.

Another issue was with the virgin ghost character in general. Shin Sun Ae's motivations at the beginning of the show boil down to just one thing: sleep with someone. When she attempts to seduce Seon Woo he rejects her advances and yet she just keeps going. It made me so uncomfortable to watch as she pretty much sexually harassed him after he very clearly told her no. It was creepy and should not have been included in the drama. If the tables were turned and he was harassing her no one would have found this plot point funny. It would have been seen as downright villainous.

The acting wasn't terrible but it also wasn't Park Bo Young or Jo Jong Suk's best work. Overall this drama was a failure. It made me uncomfortable and I regret watching it.

Are we getting a 2nd season?

I am only talking about this remake, and there's no comparison between this and other versions because I haven't watched them, but this felt incomplete and needs a second season for sure!

- Story wise, it is not an original story and I've read many books with the same story-line.
Did I predict this ending? DEFINITELY NO. NOT AT ALL. It didn't even cross my mind because that's the worst case scenario in a romance story. Bro who wrote this?!!! We need to talk. Seriously, if that's it and there is no season 2, it is the worst end to ever happen to such story!

*I dislike the miscommunication trope the most, this drama relied heavily on it, and it was left unsolved which angered me a lot. I understand the female lead feelings and how hurt she was, but the male lead kinda did his best (he wasn't the most amazing husband but he tried) and he deserved to have a proper closure with her at least.

- Acting wise, I think the cast was decent and really had potential.. I know because I have watched other works for most of these actors/actresses and they were great, specially the male lead and the female lead. I guess the short episodes were unfair to them. And most of the side characters were kinda pointless.
*Tokito Yuki for example, I don't understand what his role is in the drama, his scenes were actually good but he needed more time for his character to develop!
*Nakabayashi Taiki is probably my fave here. Watching him was so much fun and this role fit him really well!

- I don't talk about the music usually, but this one had great soundtracks. Yes I am obsessed with them since I started watching this drama! These are by a boy band called "One N' Only" and I highly recommend checking them out!

Story::

Wow. Just wow. It starts off kind of slow, but when it picks up..good golly does it pick up. The story revolves around revenge, then moves from that to just standing up for whats right. Pretty much from revenge to Good Vs. Evil. Really really well written, I loved it. End was good aswell. Not a major love store here guys, if you're looking for that move on along. I, myself, usually watch only romcoms, but this...this is really good.

Characters/Actors::

Actors performed really well. Hats off to Kim Kang Woo though, really well played psychopath. Right till the end. Every role he played was played really well.

I have the OST on my playlist, its freaking amazing.

A Refreshing Side of Cho Seung Woo - Divorce - Class Difference and Social Issues

I love Cho Seung Woo as the corky Hwang Shi Mok in the Stranger series. It is the best he has ever done as an actor. Still, I would be remiss not to enunciate how much I enjoy him as Shin Sung Han, a great pianist turned divorce lawyer. I've never seen Cho Seung Woo like this, which could be why I greatly appreciate the character. His approach to the role of an uncle, friend, lawyer, and brother is brilliant. It suits him so much that it's hard to separate the actor from the character. I love how each episode addresses or tries to shed light on different divorce scenarios, and even though it's viewed as evil, sometimes it's a necessary evil. More importantly, I love SSH's approach to it.

I commend the writer for Shin Sung Han, but all the credit goes to Cho Seung Woo for embodying such an intelligently funny, creative, caring, simple yet complicated man driven by love, grief, and the need for justice. It's not just Cho Seung Woo that shines in this drama. I love his tight-knit friendship with Jeong Moon Seong and Kim Seong Kyoon, how they feed off each other while at the same time always being acutely aware of each other's weaknesses, strengths, and pains, no words needed, knowing when to give each other the space they need and when to be each other's comfort. Truly each other's extensions. They are an accurate depiction of what and how friendship should be. I love it.

Many people try to hold on to a union for the wrong reasons. Some people do it solely for their children. Some do it because they think divorce will make them a failure and their family and society will ostracize them. Some even do it because they don't believe they can survive financially. The easiest thing to do to solve a problem is absolutely nothing. But, when one does nothing to appease family or society, that doesn't make the problem disappear. No one goes into a marriage thinking they will divorce. However, certain things in a marriage, be it gaslighting, cheating, or abuse (physical, mental, emotional), are unforgivable and require a divorce for the mental health of all involved. Getting a divorce, especially in a society such as South Korea and others like it, where it is considered taboo, has to be one of the most complex, if not the most frightening, decisions; I admire Divorce Attorney Shin for trying to convey in their special way that these are all pitfalls and misconceptions that stand in the form of progress.

I loved this drama's journey, but most importantly, I loved the ending. Yes, it was very K-drama-like, but I still liked it a lot. As much as Divorce Attorney Shin is about the social issues and suffering that arise from a hierarchical institution that, without thought or consequences, openly accepts social discrimination regarding different class marriages, divorce, custody issues, broken family relationships, parenting rights, and gender stereotypes, it is also an inspirational, dramatic story about adults and children struggling to live their mundane lives with these inherited issues. But rather than give in, they fight to be the change they want to see happen, to find their own way to a happy and fair life with the support of friendships and family ties that transcend blood relations.

The drama touches on many social issues, but none more important than the inequality perpetuated by the influence of historically structured social class differences that drive inequality and remain a hindrance to change. But the core of the story for me is the friendship between three friends who have a stronger bond than blood, which is the charm of this drama. I like that Shin Sung Han's final battle was not just about winning but about righting the wrongs adults made, yet a child was paying the price, one that was very personal to him. I will admit I thought the drama should have taken a much stronger stance towards the Vietnamese wife and the stepmom rather than backtrack on its strong message with the different cases it portrayed early on. I hope the message this drama tries to convey gets across, regardless. Yes, it's a work of fiction, but as far as I am concerned, there is always some truth in every fictional story.

Kudos to all the actors -- the adults but especially the child actors, the little men of this drama Kang Hyeon-U and Seo Gi-Yeong, who are mature far beyond their little ages, suffering in silence to protect those they love. They put the adults to share. Lastly, I would be remiss not to praise Noh Susanna, who was brilliant as Jin Yeong-Ju, the materialistically socially obsessed evil stepmom and wife who couldn't escape the influence and, worse, the trap of class hierarchy. I will miss Cho Seung Woo, but I hope to see him in Stranger 3, where he shines the most if the K-drama gods allow it.

First off, if you're looking for a romance, look elsewhere, this is more of an action packed-melodramatic-comedy then anything, with just a touch of romance in it.

Story:

The story is really good, and like they said it's a lot similar to the robin hood figure we know. It keeps the action going and there is really never a dull moment, you're either laughing, crying or on your toes wondering what's going to happen next.
The only problem I would have with it is that they either should of taken the romance out of it that they attempted to squeeze in, or they should of put more effort into it.
I was also a little unsure about the ending as well as it seems to just leave you to imagine what happened, but I still left this drama feeling satisfied either way!

Acting/Cast:

LOVED the cast, absolutely loved it! I started this drama strictly because of my love for Park Shi Hoo as well as historical dramas, and found myself a whole new cast of people that I would love to see in other dramas.

Music:

The music was good, nothing was too overplayed or obnoxious and it seemed to fit the drama as well as the moments just fine.

Overall:

Overall I would definitely add this to your Plan to Watch list because it's way worth it! You'll find yourself getting attached to the characters and cheering for them in the end. Watch it for the amazing cast and the great story!
