The first few episodes of this drama was EXTREMELY slow. There were times in this drama where i wanted to bash my head in just because all was shown was flashbacks or slow walks or someone contemplating about the past. Around episode 6 or 7, the drama began to pick up, introducing the relationship between Park Shin Hye and Jung Wa, and I have to say that it was extremely watchable after that. The OST's for this drama were phenomenal, they did a great job at writing them and using them at good parts of the drama. Of course, the love stories(main and side ones, I personally liked the drummer and the dancer/actress) were cute. The chemistry between Jung Wa and Shin Hye was easily seen when they were dating, everything they did together was just cute.

Although I do see some valid points in the reviews before this one, I enjoyed this drama to no end. The plot was messy and all over the place but that's probably due to the writer switches and PD/Director switches and not to mention Mrs. Park's car wreck that prolonged/altered the story that set this drama off the balance early on. With all that in mind - the drama (with those elements factored in) wasn't the worst drama I've seen and not the best. It was more like a comfort food. It kept me full and was soothing while doing so. It doesn't have a deep plot but the characters carried it for me. Set aside how much of a babe Yonghwa is, Minhyuk's character was just oodles and oodles of fun for me. It's cliche, but I liked every minute of it.

Surprising and captivating. The most beautiful thing about this drama is that it shows the importance of friends and teaches you that hard work pays off at the end. The acting was exceptional and the drama was hilarious- if I was not laughing by the end of the episode, I would definitely be smiling =) but it also made you cry (can it be more perfect?) You can observe the characters developing and changing for the better. Overall it was perfecto and very realistic. This is a must watch!...and it might seem boring for the first 30 minutes, but stick to it because it will leave you smiling =D

This drama started off really promising - and I'll admit I started to watch it because of Park Shin Hye and Yong Hwa. I wanted them to be together in You're Beautiful and I was happy to see a drama with both of them as the leads again. Maybe part of the reason is I was watching quite a few dramas at the time I was watching this, but it started to get boring to me. The story was slow in the beginning and after a while I wasn't really going crazy over this drama. It was ordinary to me. I also found most of it to be predictable, especially towards the ending. Majority of this story revolves around the musical.



The cast was one of the main reasons I continued to watch this show. I think Park Shin Hye is a great actor and it was nice to see her and Yong Hwa working together again. And the drummer from CNBlue, Kang Min Hyuk, as Joon Hee was cute (: The rest of the acting was well done, too.



The music was the other main reason for my continuing of the show. I loved all the songs and there wasn't a single one I disliked.



My rewatch value for this show is low because it didn't interest me as much as other shows have.



Overall: If I hadn't been watching it as it was airing I dunno how much difference it would've made. Maybe I'd have liked it a little more or maybe I'd be feeling glad it's over, the way I feel now that it's done. I gave this drama a 7 overall because of the cast and the music. I would say if you don't have anything else to watch I'd recommend watching this show, but it wasn't anything special to me

Still going through my N. Ryo phase so naturally I came across Joker. And all through the show the word Amazing seemed to fit just right. The storyline, the flow...the characters...the detectives...the mourning relatives...the actual BRUTALITY of the crime...It was all very well done.



Right off the bat I was enticed by the disclaimer,



"This drama is fictional. All resemblances to actual people, places or events are purely coincidental. Or you may choose to take this as purely a made up story or try to grasp an understanding of the darkness these days."



A simple but perfect set up for how brutal each episode is, not just the individual crimes but the overlaying story. Most drama's make a scene just brutal in its initial appearance. In Joker, where the first look at the murder victims might not be all that horrible, as they are carefully investigated you develop a deeper conviction that what they get - even though its not legal - is what they deserve. (Sort of brings out the worst in all of us, maybe.)



The cast is amazing. There's humor that fits in well with each characters lives, there's drama, and realistically dark content. If your not a seasoned murder detective drama watcher, you might get a little queasy. So be careful.



Finally I would like to make a point to say that, where this drama isn't unpredictable it does a great job at making you want to contradict your initial theories. Towards the end you will know what's coming BUT you will constantly try to talk yourself out of it.



So..."You want murder, destruction and revenge all tied in with remarkable characters and the barest traces of humor? Well, by golly, you've found your drama.. "

This is gonna be my all-time-favorite Drama.

I enjoyed every episode. There were just 2 episode that were a little bit boring but the rest was absolutely awesome. The acting, OST, storyline, chemistry, everything was flawless.

The performances of the kids were great. It's hard to believe that this was Kang Chan Hee's debut (young Dong Joo). He was so natural in his acting.

I was surprised by Hwang Jung Eum. This actress would be a major reason to not watch this show. But I am glad that I decided to watch this. I really hated her in "Giant". Her acting was so annoying (facial expression, speech, everything). But that was not the case with "Can you hear my heart". She portrayed Bong Woo Ri well, so that I forgot that she is an actress I actually can't stand. She was so funny and adorable.



The bromance in this drama was funny. Kim Jae Won and Nam Goong Min sure have a great chemistry. I loved their relationship.

There are usually at least one character that I dislike in a Drama, because this character is annoying or whatever. But that's not the case here. Each character was well portrayed and you could see that each character was well developed.

This is indeed a masterpiece that I recommend to everyone who wants to watch a Drama which has a plot with a deep meaning.
