How the heck can this plot go from action-oriented to fluffy at the end, puzzles me. It almost became like another drama because everything seems to miraculously smooth out, after the all the crimes that happen. The plot just went downhill, the leading couple, acted like teenagers and it was just too fluffy for the age they are portraying. Cruel City was more realistic in portraying gang life, I don't know the whole thing just did not mesh right. It is still watchable but at the end, I felt like what the heck did I just watch? At least with other dramas like "You're Beautiful" you know from the get go, that it is a romcom but this one was just from thug life ------ romcom, it did not work for me.

This drama was stunning - a complete breath of fresh air - and I just needed to write a review in the hopes that more people will watch it. I wish I could give it more than a perfect 10 because I really enjoyed it that much!

Right away, I’ll say that this is not the goofy romcom I was expecting it to be. Although there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and lighthearted comedic scenes, this drama gets heavy at some points and definitely moves into the melodrama category occasionally. But what made this drama so amazing is that it continually challenged my expectations of the comedy genre and the difficult emotions never felt unnatural. I laughed and I cried many times and found myself re-watching scenes again and again. The dialogue was fascinating, very quotable, and definitely gave me a new outlook on love and relationships.

It's the cast and characters that really make this drama special. Not only is the acting superb, but the individual characters are very complex and unique. Mikuri, the drama's heroine, overanalyzes and missteps often, can rarely reign in her colourful imagination, and is bold as brass, but that’s what makes her endearing and I loved watching her grow. Even the most minor characters shine in this drama! Each character is so well developed in their personalities and desires that you can’t help but root for everyone to find happiness!

Definitely don’t miss this beautiful drama!

I have literally just finished this drama and am to emotionally unstable and attached to do an in depth analysis of this show (hopefully at some point I will).. But i've just come online to tell anybody who is contemplating watching this show STOP! You have stumbled upon something mind-blowing and you are in for a treat. Don't think any further just press play because you are in for an amazing 20 hours. It keeps you gripped every second, makes perfect sense at every step despite the complicated plot, doesn't give any uneccesary angst, has amazingly lovable characters that are going to stay with you forever along with being funny and having all the feels.

STOP READING.. START WATCHING. Lucky you.. I wish i could watch it for the first time again.

"WOW"- That was me after watching the last two episodes. Literally, I started watching this drama because of Kimura Fumino. I was just searching on mydramalist when i was boring and ramdomly picked this.
- The story is interesting with a female villain who is a psycho killer seeking perfection as well as her true-self. I think the first episodes were a bit slow, you would find it boring at first, but Satomi is a charismatic character, you will love him definitely. The second half was extremely good, I expected there would be some twists and even prepared for it but when the story came to the turing point, i couldn't do nothing but WOW (completely surprised).
- Acting/cast: As i said, i watched this drama because of Kimura Fumino (litterally got my eye on her after watching Zeni no Senso). But i was disapointed, her casting terrible. However, Matsuzaka Tori (as Satomi the mc) and Nanao (as the main villian) were wonderfully good. Especially Nanao, Her expression was too good that made me amazed.
-Music: Nothing much to say. It was fine
Overall: Despite having some flaws,but i really enjoyed this drama. If you are looking for some soft romance, thriller, mystery, or some unpredictable plot twists.. I highly recommend this!
P/s: If you are looking for a serious detective stuff. This is not for you.

The story is good. It portrays a family that is living in a new harsh environment and lifestyle. The family experiences the process of going through a divorce and living in the middle of nowhere, Hokkiado. With the help of the father's childhood family and friends the main characters overcome many obstacles.

What really stuck with me is how genuine all the characters are. As if you are really seeing real people. This is extremely rare with TV shows. It is beyond good acting its real.

I recommend this drama if what I wrote interests you. It is a drama worthy of high ratings.

Even thought I gave an over all rating of 8.0, this was a fantastic drama, I'm the type that didn't like long dramas specially when that category is melodrama were is not included romance or comedy or romance and melo you know we're I'm headed, this drama is 108 EPISODES I'm like sitting on my bed and I'm like I'll fall asleep as soon as I hit 12 or 30 episodes, a while back I watched the drama (loving you a thousand times), for me that was one long drama and just because of that story I started liking longer dramas specially when there was family involved, it was sad and exciting at the same time and then after watching other dramas I came to see( yellow boots) or as much may know it as ( ice Adonis), the story was great or what people say the idea of the story was awesome. You would have to experience it for yourself I can't say I like or dislike it because everyone thinks differently my mother who watched it with me cried and laughed and even got so angry and that evil lieing bi*** that broke my computer at that time with all do respect at the actress it's just a role but she felt that way and I felt that (THERE WAS TO MUCH LIES INVOLVED) even though the idea probably was to make the protagonist grow up be stronger and even learn how to fight for what she believes in, The story helped to evil to fake i'm not a writer I know how to make up a story but still It felt to fake The music was awesome it went with the story the actors are believable even though I felt fake I would've believed it because of the acting I love those actors they're great actors everyone have their part down to every detail even the evil witch that mean lady that conniving woman I would've loved that the protagonist would get into role faster,it felt that she waited until the end to get revenge I felt she was too innocent she fell too much in the traps, I guess in the way she wanted to stay believing in my thinking, that her friend was with the heart,I felt it wasn't fair I felt that even though the good girl what's up attacking missed Who took most of the story, what's the antagonist everything was flowing around if she wasn't in the story everything will be fine my thinking,of course you would tell me well if they wasn't an Antagonist and protagonist there wouldn't have been a story you could just decide and dropping it but still It felt to evil it felt that the antagonist didn't feel that sorry for herself, my bad let me rephrase it she didn't feel that much remorse probably until the end ha ha ha ha I'm not good at explaining I don't even know if I'm making any sense to you to everyone of you but it is a well done story for somebody who likes suspends you could say that if you like a weak protagonist getting abused by evil antagonist it would be the best drama for you some people like the second lead that the first lead i'm not saying that the protagonists was weak all the time she knew how to defend herself later on in the story but still felt really long for me the music was great the acting was great the story was mmm.... The rewatch value I don't know if I were to rewatch it probably if my taste would change in stories probably I would give it another chance and see more detailed in the story but it's really long to long for that kind of story overall I did give it an eight is really good you should give it a try don't follow exactly what I say because what I said before people have different tastes I even mean myself I follow the reviews of other people and I give it a try even though some people give it a six of overall or some people give it a 10 and sometimes the six overall was better than the 10th overall story so don't follow what I say just give it a try see for yourself but I hope in the way I did give you a good opinion of what I thought about the story The actors are great, if by any chance your favorite actor is in the drama,more so to give it a try you'll see different parts of them in different ways I hope what I did or said will help.

I have been a fan of zombie movies ever since I watched Romero's original Night Of the Living Dead in middle school. Any chance I get, I watch them. Some are good, but most are really cheesy. I still love them. Train To Busan is in a class all by itself, however. It reminds me of a mix of Romero's Day Of the Dead and the British zombie virus movie 28 Days Later, both of which are masterpieces. Except it surpasses both.

From the get go it keeps you on the edge of your seat and freaks you out with the gory and truly horrifying cinematography. It is is so lifelike that the hordes of zombies will give you chills down your spine!

In terms of acting, it really didn't feel like anyone needed to strain themselves too much. Mostly it was all about showing the overwhelming terror and I feel like everyone did their job there. I was especially impressed by the child actress who played Gong Yoo's daughter. She played the sad and serious little girl to perfection. Her character was written differently than most children are written. Instead of being the cute and helpless little kid, she was an earnest and quiet one, brave and wise for her years.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of zombies and horror. It stands out from other Asian horror movies and can rival even the most acclaimed Western horror movie. I will most assuredly rewatch it, probably many times over. 10/10

Fantastic was surprising for me. It made a person feel hopeful even as each character was going through hard times. I felt like it was a character driven story. I like the women's camaraderie and how they support each other. The writer made me happy by writing the men as faithful and loving men who stuck by the women they love through everything. The writer also gave meaning to the different close relationships and show love comes in a variety of ways. I also like that the jerks get mostly what they deserve. I think there were times when ithe story was a little over the top and the characters were too self sacrificing. Over all though the story is well written and paced. I

I always remember Kim Hyun Joo as BOF's Joon Pyo's noona. I haven't watched any of her drama's since then. I thought she was great as Lee So Hye because that is a hard part to play. The strength, vulnerabiity, and the emotions that the she had to put into playing the character must have been draining. Joo Sang Wook is a hit or a miss for me. This time he was mostly a hit as Ryu Hae Seong. I'm a total Park Shi Yeon fan. She is so versatile. I have hated her in a drama and I loved her as Baek Sul. She is just trying to find her way to happiness. Ji Soo was just to adorable and totally strong man as Kim Sang Wook. I have seen Kim Tae Hoon in a lot of dramas and I think that even though he isn't the male lead, he plays Dr. Hong Joon Ki like he is the male lead and I enjoyed every minute of it. The other actors are good too.

The music is ok.

I will never rewatch this.

Warning: It is about cancer patients. My mom passed from cancer, but I was ok watching this. However, it could be hard for people to watch.

I liked this drama, but I don't necessarily recommend it.
