She was pretty made feel like I wanna stop the drama because I feel really sorry for our female m.c.. And also her best friend and her crush give a hard time.
In that drama all the m.c. make a mistake so anyone is really very inoccent(what make the script more real).
That drama also show to us how a friendship of years can be break but also show us that can be fix.
The main couple is really cute and make me sorry for the short cute parts(but the ones that appear are really specials)
The puzzle also give problems but is also really really important.
That drama shows that to dreams to come true need us to fight and never give up.

This is one of the best action movies I've seen in a long time! The plot is great - although it's not the most original story ever, it's very suspenseful and cohesive with a good resolution. I really liked the action scenes as well, and the visuals used for fighting in the dark (you'll see what I mean when you watch it) are super cool. Actually, the entire film is pretty visually stunning!

Ji Chang Wook was excellent as always, and the supporting cast were amazing too! I always have a soft spot for female hackers (especially Min Ja from Healer) and Shim Eun Kyung was a good choice for the role. Shoutout to the main villain for being super creepy as well... a little too creepy, haha.

Also, I loved how well the team worked together. You could really tell that they'd known each other for a long time through the game, and I got a lot more attached to them than I usually do to action movie characters.

The soundtrack is extremely good and suspenseful, and reminds me of the music from TRON: Legacy, which is very fitting for the video-game-feel and urban atmosphere.

The only complaint I have is that I couldn't find a decently subbed version online. If my local theater showed it I would have gone to see it multiple times...but alas I live in the US midwest :( I requested it on both Dramafever and Viki - if you use these sites please request it too and maybe they'll give us a nicely subbed version...

Overall: if you have a soft spot for Ji Chang Wook, action movies with excellent plots, and/or tales of loyalty and uncovering corruption, this is the movie for you!

So, we already know that it's about two couples. You've got the older guy Kong (played by Bie) with the younger girl Khaiwan (played by Pearwah), and the younger guy Dao (March) with the older woman Kook (Namcha). The show is VERY self-aware about the age difference and about how creepy it is that a 17/18 year old boy fell in love with a 10 year old girl. The characters in the show fully acknowledge that it's strange. You have to accept that and move on otherwise you'll never get through the first episode.

There are some very very cute scenes and some great kisses. The younger guy/older girl couple are frustrating a lot of the time (well, it's mostly her) but when they're not being frustrating, they are so watchable, so adorable, so natural, so giffable. The other couple have some sweet scenes but they have a very different type of chemistry than the other pair do, namely due to her age.

The editing could be a bit choppy; sometimes I felt like a whole bunch of scenes had ended up on the cutting room floor but that was mostly in the first 6 or so episodes. It felt smoother after that.

I think the cast did a great job for the most part. Again, it was March and Namcha that carried the show, and then the others came in behind them. Bie has room for improvement but he has the ability to make you forget that with his smile. Pearwah is freaking adorable. I really liked Dao's friend Dew (Tay), he was a really lovely secondary character, necessary but not, at the same time.

It's rewatchable but I think in a rewatch, you'd fast forward all of the non-cute scenes. Skip the PPL, skip the school scenes, skip the 'Kook being annoying or stupid' scenes, skip the ex-girlfriend. If I was rewatching, I'd probably just watch all of March's scenes plus some of Bie's when he's smiling.

This drama leaves a lot to think about but no really for good:

First that all the drama have some annoying things in each episode is the Professor Jin repeat and repeat his reason to drinking alone, one time is ok but everytime irritating also key character repeat a sound such a "tiruri" is so bothering.

As for behaviors and personalities from the protagonist, it exceeds my limits of antipathy and selfishness. He was so arrogand with everybody, looks like without heart and He thinks he's better than others.

In a lot of episode doesnt happen anything was really boring ..I had to advance several minutes. The romantic relationships were ridiculous and absurd all suddenly and nosense specially between another two teacher in the academy.

To say nothing of students, the drama focus in 3. They a little bit unresponsability, lazy and idiot in some situation ,the end of this drama was hurried on.

With this drama I always was between boredom and irritation for this I cant give a good score.

So, here are my humble thoughts about this exceptional show.

First of all, this is definitely one of the better crime investigation dramas out there and evidence that OCN can indeed produce great shows. I lost faith after Neighborhood Hero, but Missing Noir M was able to mend my shattered heart.

The acting was thoroughly awesome. Not only the leads who had great chemistry in a non-romantic way but also every single guest actor/actress who played important roles in each case. They were able to make me excited to a point where I couldn't stop watching while at the same time I was worried that I'd finish this drama too fast. It's unfortunately only 10 episodes but I could have watched 10 more of it. The cast delivered their emotions and messages so well, that I'm still stunned when I think about it. Though I didn't really cry, they still moved me to tears so many times. This was about interpersonal relationships which were put to proof under extreme circumstances. It's about justice and injustice, and about trust and suspicion.

What I loved so much here was how every case was built. Disclosing one secret always meant to find ~10 other secrets within that had to be solved in order to see the whole magnitude. Layer by layer and in the end the picture always looked completely different from what you had expected in the beginning.

Though I must say that I didn't enjoy the last case as much as the earlier ones. Maybe it's because I prefer psychological mind games over corruption cases. I know what they wanted to tell their viewers with that last one, but I still think that it didn't really fit well between those other mind-blowing puzzles. It seemed rather short and rushed and failed to properly explain its own story. It felt plain compared to the other cases.

There were also some loose ends, especially the reason why they even formed that special missing persons investigation team when they were so worried about opening Pandora's Box. It was quite well explained for the first case but for all the other ones, it remains a mystery to me.

Background music was, as I already mentioned some days ago, exceptional. So damn well composed, balanced and in sync that it managed to liven up every important moment to its full potential.

Rating 9/10 - Great ride and exciting watch ?

Its members are: Hide (Suda Masaki), Navi (Yokohama Ryusei), Kuni (Narita Ryo) and Soh (Sugino Yosuke). The band's producer is Hide's older brother Jin (Matsuzaka Tori). The film will be based on real events, including conflicts between family and friends. Kutsuna Shiori will play Rika, Hide's girlfriend.
GreeeeN made its debut in 2007 as a group that does not show their faces in public. In addition to the fact that all members are registered dentists, little is known about them.
The film is more publicity than a biography, but one of the best I've seen, its narrative is perfect, cinematography fits the band's very pleasant soundtrack, if short J-Pop and has an interest in knowing this band revelation, Do not miss out on this movie!

I didn't know that there will be another drama than Tunnel I find this Amazing. But here it is. 'Cirlce' is amazing. Honestly I am not a fan of the sci-fi genre and I don't like it, when there is too much science, but I like this drama so much even though I was confused sometimes.

Story: The story sounds interesting with two different years at the same time. Why I didn't gave the story a 10 but a 9 is the aspect with the sci-fi genre which is an important aspect in this drama. But the fact that there isn't comedy makes up for it. People who are looking for a romance in the first place are at the wrong place with Circle, because there isn't much. You can guess who like who when you watch the whole drama, but the romance genre isn't included and in my opinion it is the best for the drama.

Cast: At first I watched the drama because Yeo Jin Goo and Kim Kang Woo. I love both of them as Actors very much. Yeo Jin Goo is a very promising Actor and it breaks my heart when I think about the year he will be gone for two years. YJG played the Role of Kim Woo Jin who lives in the year 2017 and is a student at the university. He has to work part time because of his Grandmother who is in a nursing Home and that costs money. So he takes every opportunity to get Money and he wants to research at the university where he isn't very popular because of some things his peers can't understand or doesn't want to understand. Jin Goo plays his role authentical and very realistic. When he cried, my heart broke, but when he laughed I smiled. Woojin is a nice young Man,who loves his grandmother and his twin Brother and who was played by a perfect young Actor who has a promising future ahead of him.
Ahn Wooyeon played his older twin brother who was a bright child but an incident in their childhood changed him completely. Kim Bum Gyun is a young Man who thinks the world was taken over by an Alien, but he loves his younger brother more than his own life. AWY played this role really good. I know him since Five children but in my opinion he played this role better. His Chemistry with Jung Insun (Park Minyoung) was very nice to see, but the Bromance between the Twin Brother were the best. Hearbreaking and sad, but also funny at some times.
Kim Kang Woo played the other Male Main Role. Finally a great role. I loved him in Goodbye Mr. Black, watched a few Movies and I love him very much. Like Yeon Woojin I think Kim Kang Woo is one of the most underrated Actors out there. I mean he is 38 (in two days 39) but he doesn't seem to age. Back to his acting. In my opinion his role (Kim Joonhyuk) was the most pitiful in the whole drama. Kim Joonhyuk lives in the year 2037 and works as a police officer who gets into the peaceful new world (Smart Earth) to uncover an incident and because he want to finde someone. Joonhyuk cried a lot in this drama. When he cried I cried too His chemistry with Kikwang and his relationship with Chief Hong were so good, I don't know how Kim Kang Woo could be acting so good. Like I said he is too underrated.
Gong Seung Yeon played the Female Lead Role Han Jungyeon who lives in both parts. She is a student who studies alongsinde Woojin and is the daughter of professor Han. Jungyeon is a mysterious young Woman who seems to be a normal student. The whole time i was curious because she acted normal but I thought she must have a secret. Seung Yeon plays her role excellent. She played a young woman here and an genious who love science and who seems to like Woojin for some reason.
Last but not Least: Lee Kikwang (Member of Boygroup Highlight/formerly Beast) played Lee Hosoo, a government employee of Smart Earth who doesn't have any Memories of his past. I didn't watched many shows with Kikwang (or I don't know if he was there^^) but his acting was good. I didn't liked his role at first but later I came to like him a bit. Kikwangs acting was decent for an Idol.

Music: I love the Song Alive by Uji (Bestie) the most. It is played when it fits and her voice is very good. Totally underrated.

Rewatch: This drama has 12 Episodes so I will watch it again in the future. The Episodes fits very good. It wasn't draggy and it wasn't boring.

I would recomend to watch the first episodes, because you have to like the concept of two parts per episode. If oyu don't like it the drama might not fit you but I would recommend it when you like sci-fi and mystery (aliens and so on).
