Both actors were showing great acting skills and you could actually feel the chemistry between them. I like it when you can´t quite grasp a character in the beginning and the actor is able to change this feeling during the movie and you can feel how you get closer to the character. Both actors defenitely accomplised this task.
The sript was well writen, the right words at the right time, not too much drama or never ending dialogs. Same goes for the music. Quiet, smooth, necessary but without getting on your nerves.
In the end the movie tourned out to be realistic, sad, life-affirming and quiet, but still chaotic and a tiny bit crazy. The right amount of everything, well composed and put together. And even the ending matched.

What made this drama so good in my eyes? The story isnt unique.A group of normal working girls and a famous designer and a spoilt,handsome,ignorant son of a mall owner.We see this basic story basis on many types of korean and tdramas.
What makes this so good is 2 things.
1-The cast. I love the cast.It was very well picked and the acting is amazing.The main character is so perfect.The girl, Ren is ordinary,but you kind of get why Chin Shi Qin likes her! She is pretty,though not so outshining,but the sort that really rubs on you :)
Roys character ,Shi Qin is just what i was looking for in ages.He is very very very handsome! I mean I know I shouldnt be so en entranced by his beauty but damn he is even handsomer than most korean actors! :) But on top of looking so good, HIS ACTING IS ALSO REALLY GOOD! his face expressions are good and idk,he is very natural when he acts,which is for me actually all the reason to like him.
2-The humor.Its so good for this drama.I laughed so much in this drama!Its not so extravagant like it is in most of the tdramas,and its just really really good.
Also the interactions of the characters are natural and this is a feel good drama tbh.It makes you laugh and sometimes get teary.
This drama shows you how a normal office girls could make a perfect drama :)
Highly recommended ;)!

But the thing is,this is a kdrama version,plus this actors are super hot.And the story is put in a very interesting way.
The cast is surprisingly very well put.I mean they all have their own function,there are 2 love lines,and 2 possible love triangles,and there is humor,friendship and rivalry between the "genius" composer guy and the boys of the Eye Candy.
I dont think you will get bored in this drama because every episode shows a different development in the music career of the boys,so the story doesnt drag around but continues in a very fast pace.
For me,this drama which airs at the same time as the DR 2 has more of a priority,since this one is more interesting,realistic and tbh THE ACTING in comparison is much better.
This boys are new to acting,they arent very seasoned like Hyunbin or Won bin but I hope you can give them a chance since I think they are doing a very good job till now :)

the plot for this version doesn't capture your heart like the 2007 version. but i guess that's not the plots fault after i think about it. its the actors not portraying these character with the same[or better] pizzazz as the cast before them. think of it this way, it's like these kids watched the 07 version, loved it and grabbed a camera and said lets do it again with the manga as their scripts and a 13 year old girl as the final script editor.
my final words on this drama, if your looking for a light drama to kill your time till you find something better. this might be your drama. also if you really want to enjoy this drama DON'T COMPARE IT TO THE 07 VERSION.

This drama was so heavy and seriously packed that you know its called "Bachelors Vegetable Store" so to be honest I thought it would be a light drama where I would have to stop about in the middle,but this is the second "food-drama" that had me surprised because it was so awesome ,on the egde and complex!( the 1st was baker king,kim tak goo:) )

I absolutely loved this drama, you fall in love with all of the characters and keep wanting more! The story was really excellent, and at first I was a little hazy with the main actor, but he really does grow on you and you come to love him as well.
I would recommend this to anyone, such a great show!

However, I found that the first maybe 7 episodes dragged on for far to long and I almost stopped watching because of it. However, the drama did pick itself back up! It was a great story and a great ending, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good tear jerking romance. You do have to have quite the tolerance to get through the beginning episodes though but I promise it will get better.
You will find yourself hating the main villain, probably more then you've hated any bad guy in a show or movie before, and it will make you want to yell at your screen over and over. The actress does an excellent job at it though, as I've seen her play a complete opposite role and she does a phenomenal job at it.
So overall, very good drama, but a very slow start. This drama is what made me fall in love with Lee Seung Ki. x3

I have absolutely no complaints about this drama whatsoever, and would recommend it to everyone. It's got the perfect amount of romance and action mixed into one show, so if you're looking for some great entertainment I would choose this over any drama.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll want to watch it again!

As I got into it though, it seemed to just continuously draaaag, from start to finish. It's not hard to lose your interest, and the beginning of it, to me, seemed like they could of left out the first couple episodes excluding the first episode.
However, the one thing I did love about this drama was the music, I thought it was wonderful, and the acting was very good as well, but I could definitely say I will never re watch this show.

Despite my torn opinion of him as an actor (damn your managers for steering you to more crap roles than good), "Black & White" has firmly asserted Vic Zhou into my mind as a "actor" and not a "Idol actor".
Yes I liked him in "Mars" and "Sweet Relationship" but it was his portrayal of the not-so-by-the-book "Chen Zai Tian(Pi Zi)" that made me go back and re-watch those dramas to confirm to myself; "Was he always this good?"
In this we have him playing a cop with more going on under the surface than meets the eye, partnered with a straight laced kind of cop, "Wu Ying Xiong" played by Mark Chao.
First of all, the dynamic between these two was bloody brilliant.
I love how "Zai Tian" was like the Captain Jack Sparrow of policing, down to the little walk and womanizing. Vic Zhou had us rolling our eyes and laughing at every wink, saunter and hushed seduction While Mark Chao's "Ying Xiong" had us busting stitches at every foiled seduction attempt he smote like some cock-blocking god.
But with every laugh they got us with every dramatic scene too, not overly done, nor overly drawn out, which was a godsend because some dramas can wring out that angst for all it's got and still ask for another bucket.
While the characters were a good symmetry for each other, the story writing and editing and directing were just as perfectly matched.
You don't feel rushed while watching it, and you don't feel it's too slow. Just the right pace, coupled with great actors putting it to the best that they can push it made "Black & White" the best Taiwanese produced drama I have ever had the pleasure of watching.

Good looking leads
Decent (if not good) story: [I am sorry Taiwanese fans but as much as I watch a lot of Taiwan dramas like the next addict, I find a lot of it fluff drama]
Good balance of humor/romance
It was, thankfully, not all Taiwanese-idol-fluff drama. Sam Wang has got to get more leading roles, by the way. He's actually not that bad when you get him out of the shadow of someone else's drama. Though such is the life of a second lead, your talent can go unnoticed (I, until recently, didn't like Ming Dao for the same reason, too many idol-fluff, not enough proper acting. Once you get these two to do something out of the norm they surprise you).
Can I say that it's the greatest drama ever? No.
I can say it wasn't a waste of time, nor am I demanding my life back after watching it. It was average, acceptable, and light enough to watch and think fondly of after completing it.
Can I say that I'd re-watch it? Well... I already did. When it came out and last year when nothing good was on.
Overall: Fair enough for a good time and maybe one or two re-watches.
