It has a calm and really depressing vibe and the actors played their character really well.
For me Junho had the same impact as an actor as Woo Do Hwan in "Save Me", I was totally into his character, I felt his pain and when he smiled, I smiled too, he had a big charisma.
(Remember this: He's going to be really big, we're going to see him really often now so be ready!)
And Won Jin Ah, lord, she acts so well, I liked her performance a lot, I wish to see her in another drama really soon, because she has talent!
I enjoyed as well the other actors and actresses, everyone had its own story and frustration so it shows that nobody can be perfect.
I would definitely watch it again to see one of my favorite couple in the drama history, they had a chemistry that surpassed my other favorite couples (Except 3)
Their couple was one of the big reasons that I liked this drama a lot.
If you haven't watched it yet, you absolutely have to do it now, because you may miss a very good one!

I think that Eric and Seo Hyun Jin had a really big chemistry, when they were on the screen together, my heart was pounding really strong.
My favorite character was definitely the one played by Ye Ji Won, every time that she spoke in french and was drunk I was crying because how much funny it was!
The songs really fits on "Another Miss Oh", and how could they be bad when one of them is made by the excellent Ben?
The first half episodes were just so good, but sadly after the episode 13 it was... how could I say it? It was boring, and I just wanted it to end so I was angry because this had a big potential to be one of my favorite drama.
They could've at least maintain this to 16 episodes, because they were here just to be here.
So I would say that in a general point this a a good one which had a lot of imperfections, but you watch it to make your own view on this.

I enjoyed and fun with the program. (Personally) I, from zero about underrated and unpopular idol to "I know them know" after the program. from Boyfriend appearance, Donghyun (as a good and wise leader), UKiss Jun (as all around talent; you know he's debut acting on Avengers Social Club), Kanto (rapper that has a deep vocal), IMFACT (not along ago debut 27 Jan 2016 - they're having 2nd Anniversary last month), BoyRepublic Suwoong & Sungjun, Madtown Lee Geon and Daewon, etc.
From the start until The Final, comfortably I was immersed every week. The production itself was good (not every participant in the three episode were shown but it's okay), next to its start on episode three or four, the participant is gathering for the first time, re-group, the dormitory too. The Unit really choosing list music too, too good with these underrated idols. They're idol who can produce dance, sing well, rap, and all. Proud seeing and witness these idols. Speak on eliminating system, I think they fair enough. Until two last episode to the final, I saw Top 18 from both Unit B and Unit G are very good (until episode 25-26 / which episode 13).
Just for your information, in The Unit Final episode --- I like the way the flow of story after VCR rolling back to how their start The Unit, then The Unit member (reunite with other members that eliminated) played My Turn together. Next, they all perform four new song UNIT G (You&I - Ting) and UNIT B (Dancing with The Devil - Raise Me Up). I really love the song and from both lineup Unit B and Unit G. ANDDDDD... TOP 9 from Unit G - are promising for debut with the list song ANDDDDD TOP 9 from Unit B (again, it's personal opinion) the lineup member is all dancer / *(I edited not mess but they're not balanced)* (means, they don't have a proper leader and main/lead vocal). Just so you know, Donghyun, Timoteo, Lee Geon, Jeup, and Rockhyun didn't make it.
Unit G: Euijin, Yebin, NC.A, Yoonjo, Lee Hyun Joo, Yang Jiwon, Woohee, ZN, and Lee Suji.
Unit B: Jun, Euijin, Hojung, Feeldog, Marco, Ji Hansol, Daewon, Kijoong, and Chan.
But, again, I wish for the winning of The Unit G & B all the best for future career and the others 10-18, wish they will come back with each group with powerful.
I recommend this for a re-watching program (when you all missed each member of them) >,<

I really liked the story and the casting, Kim Hee Sun is magnificent really! And her chemistry with Jisoo was no joke, I know that's weird but I even shipped those two.
This drama denounced really well all the problems that you can have in high school, like bullying but even more things (I won't tell more about this because this could ruin everything?).
I agree that sometimes this was a little boring but the majority of it was perfect so that's why I don't give it a 10 but not a score under 8,5.
Give this drama a try, I promise that you won't regret if you like heart touching dramas.

But I want to say that I enjoyed this season a little more than the first! At first I was really sad to see that Ryu Hwa Young wouldn't be on this anymore because she played one of my favorite character, but since she had some cameo I was happy about that.
The new character played by Choi Ah Ra was great, I wasn't into her at the beginning because for me she was like an intruder, but I quick liked her and her relationship with Kim Min Suk, they were so cute!
I didn't have much trouble to see Ji Woo replacing Park Hye Soo as well.
On this one I was a huge fan of the character of Park Eun Bin, this girl can definitely act and make you love the drama even more.
Also the songs are better in this season (well there wasn't a lot of songs in the first one so maybe that's the reason), they went really well with the story.
Just like me don't be afraid to watch it, just do it and enjoy~

That' the first time that I have a special feeling towards a drama!
The story isn't really original but I like to watch slice of life and youth dramas.
I liked all the characters thanks to all the superb actresses, especially Han Yeri and Ryu Hwa Young, they had for me the best ones!
They all have their own story, which were really interesting!
I laughed a lot but I cried too watching it, because we can all relate to them and their feelings, It was like they were my friends too.
I really wish that more dramas will be like that in the future!

I'm not really a fan of Rain, but his performance was great (not the best thought) and Shin Min Ah is pleasant to watch as always.
This is certainly one of the saddest drama that I've seen, I could feel the pain like it was my own story, because how well it was done.
I liked the beginning and the ending too, this drama really helps you to remember that life can be harsh.
I don't think that I'll rewatch it a lot because like I said it's sad so I don't want to be depressed lol.
That's a must watch!

What can I say about this one? First of all, the story was really intelligent, most of the time I don't really like medical dramas but since this one was more on the psychological side I liked that much more.
Jang Hyuk is a real actor omg the way he performed in this drama was phenomenal, I was totally drown by his character. On the other hand we have Park So Dam, not one of my favorite actress because her acting is a bit weird but since she has that innocent look and aura she was perfect for the main girl.
I also discovered how great was Yoon Hyun Min, he'll definitely have a great career.
The thing that I liked the most about this drama was how well the story progressed and "Dirt" by Bernard Park, that's one of the best OST that I've ever heard.
I really recommend people to watch this!

Let's start by saying that I love Naomi Watanabe. A recurring problem I have with her dramas is that she's either most often pushed to the side as a supporting character/comic relief or, when she's lead, they tend to not let her shine in what she does best. For example, Five Star Tourist was a really good drama that I enjoyed a lot but they hid her behind a pretty bad wig, dull clothes and a personality that didn't let her do the most she could do. This drama lets her be 100% unapologetically herself: Kanna is funny, outspoken, stylish, everything we all love about her. And the plot doesn't revolve around her being plus size, another very recurrent issue in dramas that star plus size leads. She's also playing a fashion designer, on top of that, which is fantastic, considering she has her own clothing line in real life. So far so good.
Another great thing about the drama is that Kanna's relationships with female characters are very complex and interesting. Even the ladies that start being seen as "rivals" end up developing in something less archetypal and more human, which allows for her character to develop as well with these relationships. To be honest, some of these ladies (at least 3 that I counted) end up having more developed relationships with her than the male characters they pair her up with.
Now, if that would have been the drama (which is what the plot up there makes it out to be), if it had been all about Kanna facing life as a divorced mother with a dream to fulfill and bills to pay and facing the world through friendships and heartbreaks one day at a time, that would have been great. But enter the entire plot of Kaname Jun's character, Kanna's cheating husband, Rei (and his god awful parents).
My main issue with Rei's character, believe it or not, isn't that he's a terrible person (you need to read the plot or watch just episode 1 to see that). My problem is that they attempt, throughout the series, to give him a redemption arc, without actually focusing on him understanding his mistakes but just saying that he does and trying to fix them with money and things. It is possible to have redemption arcs with these kinds of characters without compromising the agency of the female lead or the aim of the story. A good example of this is Mondai No Aru Restaurant or even Mother Game, where the reason why the jerk guy faces his mistakes is because he finally understands empathy and sees what he's putting the female character through, but that does not immediately grant them forgiveness (Mondai No Aru Restaurant handled it amazingly well with Higashide Masahiro's character). Rei's arc is about karma punishing him, more so than empathy, so the audience would feel sorry enough for his poor soul to forgive him out of sheer pity rather than having him actually show his understanding of what he's done, besides trying to fix it with material things and empty words.
From any other drama, I would have probably let it pass with an epic eye-roll and a huge sigh. If this was yet another Ishihara Satomi/Kiritani Mirei josei drama of the last few years, I would have expected that sort of thing. But this was Naomi Watanabe kicking butt, being a strong female lead, inspiring me to keep going, and it deserved better than weak male leads raining on the plot's parade. And I'm not even gonna talk much about the character of Rei's mother, but picture the worst mother in law you've seen in a josei adaptation and multiply her annoyance times 10.
The acting is pretty good in this drama, it's very well directed, the clothes Naomi wears are fantastic (the ones she designs, I'm not so sure), it has emotional moments and funny moments, strong friendships and cool female characters, it's overall enjoyable. It just could have been so much more of that without wasting its time in an arc that went against the idea of the story.
I'll keep waiting for the drama that 100% is what Naomi Watanabe deserves as a lead.

It wasn't extraordinary but the actors/actresses are enjoyable to watch and of course Cha Eun Woo is mesmerizing (he's not the best actor, but he has that charisma that I really like so).
I must say that the first 14 episodes were really good but after the story lacked a little and the end was a little unsatisfying.
There isn't so much songs in it but I like a lot the rap music that is in it.
So it wasn't a memorable webdrama but it was fresh and I liked to watch it, so don't have high hopes about this just take it the way it is!

Since the idea of the story is not new (I think I can find a lot of story about a strong woman), the story can be predictable. Somehow the main lead always bickering with each other. It's already a k drama pattern that you can find everywhere. (Secret Garden, Delightful Girl Chun Hyang, Fight For My Way, etc)
Another bad point about the drama is the case with the kidnapper feel like too long to be solved. Sometimes you feel that the progress is really slow and the show can have too many filler comedy.
Overall this is a cute drama. Even though the story is predictable, I still enjoy the whole show. Especially when Bong So starts to beat up people!

Story: I have to be honest here and say reincarnation and time-traveling stories are a dime in a dozen in Chinese dramas to the point the Chinese authorities had to regulate it! Melding modern with ancient Chinese settings is also pretty common. Having deities, ghosts, vampires etc as characters has been done for the umpteenth time! The strength of the story lies in the love triangle between the three main characters. Love triangle? Yeah - common amongst commons in Asian dramas! But the selling point here is......you can't really tell who's the male lead! In fact, I believe both men in the love triangle are the male leads. They are equally outstanding and equally worth your support as they both fought for the female lead's affections. So, you'll end up as either Team Ya Long or Team Si Yin. And true to Chinese drama, the romance is of tragic nature. That, however, shouldn't deter you from watching this drama because if you're like me in appreciating a good story and good characterization, you'll agree with the ending of this story. The good news is, it's not an open ending and it is one that will give you a sigh. I actually feel that after all the three people had been through, it's a fitting and compassionate ending.
Another nice addition to the drama is how first impressions may not be the right impression. Ya Long was characterized as the evil vampire - indiscriminately killing, possessive, arrogant, looking down on humans as food etc. First impression and even throughout the drama, he played the role of the vampire to a T. Then, he fell in love and didn't know what to do with it! At first, he dealt with it poorly but slowly, you start to see his point of view and before you know it, you are rooting for him! Then, at the end as his past-life story is revealed, you start to have split feelings about whom the female lead should end up with. His character was dealt at least a couple of twists! I also love Si Yin's character. First impression and throughout, he played the character of the nice guy who sacrificed all the time for the female lead. You couldn't help but feel sorry for him when it slowly became clear that his is most likely gonna end as an unrequited love. Then came the twist and you start to question if the female lead actually did feel something for him! She has many touching and loving moments with him. Just as you think you should switch your loyalties, his past-life story revealed a different character and you'll realize that Mr. Gentleman-Good Guy ain't Mr. Gentleman-Good Guy after all! There is a reason why he out of the three of them, got punished in the worst ways throughout all his reincarnations! And lastly, our female lead's character is pretty standard in most Asian dramas - bright, bubbly, innocent, bumbling, sometimes incorrectly street smart....she provided the bulk of the comedy in this drama. However, you'll find out at the end of the drama that where female leads are concerned, you'd prefer not to be in her shoes. Without giving too much away, I can summarize her character by saying she is the comedy and the tragedy of this drama.
There are also clear indications in this drama that the author of this story is influenced by both eastern and western beliefs and culture. Ya Long is very much a western vampire - with his sensitivity to sun, silver and the wooden stake. You will also be treated to some popular western myths re. creation such as the creation of a woman from a man's rib. I will not comment re. the author of this story (Vivibear - she's Chinese-Swedish which explains the western influence) and her fame as the Queen of Plagiarism. I'll just leave my review of the story at this: it's interesting enough to capture your attention and is worthy as a drama marathon material, BUT it is not outstanding! Hence, I rate the story at 8.5/10.
Acting/Cast: It is not often that we are treated to two male characters who are equally deserving as the male lead. Both Ma Ke and Fu Xin Bo shone through the drama. They embraced their characters to perfection! The female lead, Zhou Yu Tong, though not the prettiest and most outstanding female lead, adequately portrayed Ye Yin - a modern 18-year-old at the cusp of womanhood but still very much a little girl at heart. When you watch the drama and realize that the female lead is just 18-year-old, you'll understand why Yu Tong had to switch from being sometimes a girl and sometimes speaking and behaving like a mature woman. She's very much a modern teenager in ancient times! Special mention to Nie Zi Hao as Fei Niao (Ye Yin's senior). For a newcomer, he's doing really well. I hope to see him in a main role soon. The rest of the cast did an excellent job too! Hence, I gave the acting 9.0/10.
Music: The OSTs are worth downloading. My personal favorite is the ending OST by A2A. "....the happiness I once had, has come to the end of the road...your love is too blinding... what I wanted I cannot stop...in the end, there is only loneliness......love becomes a burden...." The lyrics aptly described the story.
Re-watch value: It took me 2 days to marathon this drama. I will not be re-watching it anytime soon but I think there will come a day when I become bored and unmotivated with the currently available dramas (aka Drama Slump) and this drama may serve as an adequate reprieve to that sort of boredom.
Overall: This is a drama worth watching but it is not a 9.0 and above sort of drama (if you get my meaning!). My only beef with this drama in terms of the production is the poor visual effects. I understand that it's not a big production like Eternal Love or Novoland, but the special effects can be better. However, if you can grit your teeth and turn a blind eye to the poor visual effects, the story will shine through. Overall, I rate this drama 8.5/10.

The story itself have the realistic points in life and obstacles give to them. I only found out about this drama because the couple Song-Song favorite drama at that time. So curious as I am, I search the drama, and I can see why people watched this drama. I love everything, the writer, giving it all for this, the director giving life to the story, and the actors and actresses that giving their acting skills to their best ability to act each scene that given to them.
I love each couple in the story, it has different obstacles as a couple, and I love the lawyer and the producer, the chemistry is on point.
