Highly intense show with superb performances.If only this show went for a more cheerful/hopeful tone it would score well on ratings.2 medical shows that did that well in recent years were Doctors Crush and Romantic Doctor,Teacher Kim..
Caught up with this recently and glad I waited this one to be over before starting..Glad to see a new fusion saeguk..From what I have seen so far, Basically seemingly mixes the tone of Love in the moonlight and plot of Shopping King Louie.Am upto ep 4 and eps 3 and 4 have many laugh out moments as Won Deuk starts adjusting to his life as a penniless man..Great story and set up so far. Do Kyung Soo is great in the central role .Can totally see the hype on this one is quite justified.
Great show..Has a lot of heart and the music is soothingly wonderful. Great visual appeal..Lee Je Hoon is superb and Chae Soo Bin's character keeps growing on you.Lee Dong Gun is coming across as quite a hateful character here..
Lots of potential in Ep 1 (child actors were superb) which didn't get fully realized..I do think this is a solid action comedy drama but somewhere feel it could've been so much better,considering it cast great actors for the main leads.. Still,am rewatching it again and that's saying something..
Not satisfied with the ending - I cannot stop thinking how they got a huge company bankrupt and hundreds of employees…
I dont see any problem with it and it seemed realistic. It actually gives a message that if corporations are not ethical ,their employees are at risk too..
Just finished it ..The show stayed strong till the end ..Worth watching if you like idealistic and underdog Male leads,non-annoying and likeable second leads,David v/s Goliath type struggles and generally likeable characters. The OST is superb as well.
Solid winner ! Am upto Ep 13 and am surprised at how good this is.Started this primarily as like Your House Helper and saw it was from the same PD.This is definitely a more well rounded show with a lot of heart.. Kang Soo and Dan Ah -grew to really like them as a couple and their relationship develops organically over the show and their issues seem real as well.. Really like Oh Jin Gyu's character and the second FlL and Yeon Ji
Am upto 10 eps now and really enjoying this.A lot could have gone wrong with this show with the kind of comedic tone it has taken after casting a deadpan looking So Ji Sub but the show is mining great comedy out of its setup. The action scenes are also bang on target. Finally ,an action comedy Kdrama done well! I had first thought Heart Surgeons will lead this show but am happy to be proved wrong..
I normally dont watch melodramas(fave genres are Action,Thriller,comedy and romcoms).I also tend to avoid stories about terminal patients.However,after watching Fantastic (a very good different terminal illness show ) and hearing lots of praises for this decided to try this.. Was I surprised ? I feel this is one of the best "Melodramas" out there that even non-genre fans should try.Rarely have I found myself tearing up in each episode (Yes!) and enjoying the ride.. Lee Seo Jin and Uee casting was a great masterstroke..This was my first LSJ show and he was plain impressive..There is a reason Korea loves its Ajusshi actors and this show is a prime example of that (I have since checked out Wonderful days too and liked it as well) Uee surprised me with a mature portrayal of a single mom who is facing a terminal illness. There were scenes where she made you feel her pain on not being able to go for her own happiness due to her illness..What really sealed the deal was her cute kid and the early eps (beautiful) are really about LSJ and the kid becoming close Highly recommended!
Through till Ep 8 and this one is a classic example of perfect casting for the main roles. I really like Choi Jin Hyuk from his earlier roles and it is great watching him in a romcom like this. Song Ha Yoon just became one of my fave Korean actresses with this show. They perfectly match the characters they are playing.This show is one of the pleasant surprises of the year so far..
Caught the first 4 eps and this show hits all the right notes..Lee Je Hoon is superb in his lead role. Chae Soo Bin's female lead is quite an irritiating character so far..Also liked Kim Ji Soo (female team lead) who is more beautiful than the female lead... I hope the show lives up to its initial promise and doesn't turn into sad melodrama territory later.
Finished this after a lot of false starts..It was a solid start ,an intriguing middle and a superb end.One of the best ever action series ever.. This cast may never get assembled again and that is a pity since the team really gels well in this..Park Hae Jin was the centre of the show and showed superb acting chops but all in the cast were also given meaty roles and had a strong presence. Everyone has done their near career best roles here acting wise and the action scenes really are superb.Kudos to the director and the writer.We need a reunion of this fab cast of 4 bad guys..
Went in with high expectations (have liked all shows of Choi Jin Hyuk I have seen and he even made Heirs bearable) and am happy to find that was not disappointed! Have seen 3 eps so far and the show has shaped up beautifully. Choi Jin Hyuk is flawlessly cast but the biggest surprise for me was Song Ha Yoon (an actress I have not seen much of ) and the lead pair chemistry-it just clicks! The story is interestingly done.Great romcom elements so far with a serious background. Am hoping this will have a happy ending- this OTP deserves nothing less.
Finally got around to seeing this after a lot of delay.Was initially attracted to it due to Kim Jae Won whose latest show "Father I'll take care of you" i liked a lot.Binged through most eps in 2 days and am at Ep 33 now. Superb story and impressive performances.Standout performances from the senior actors esp from Park Sang Min and Shin Eun Kyung
I kept laughing at how the whole "Kings Bag" shop (spy den) was set up-only to have the lead female show up looking at a bag..The writing ,though childish, is quite charming and keeps bringing the laughs..
Just caught 3 (or 6 ) eps of this and this show is seriously creepy/scary ! Am surprised a network like KBS and not OCN etc. Is telecasting this.Am also not sure of the 15 rating this has got . Choi Daniel is superbly cast for the lead role.Many jump-scare moments in this and Lee Ji Ah gave me goosebumps everytime she was on screen..
You are on the money with the neighbourhood group re the next lot of episodes. The twins are great and he continues…
Good to hear they are using the neghbourhood group well..I don't normally see airing dramas but this looks to be an exception and will catch up with the other eps soon. Terius and Heart Surgeons look to be the best shows right now.
Do Kyung Soo is great in the central role .Can totally see the hype on this one is quite justified.
Still,am rewatching it again and that's saying something..
Really like Oh Jin Gyu's character and the second FlL and Yeon Ji
I had first thought Heart Surgeons will lead this show but am happy to be proved wrong..
They launched recently in India and had used it for shows like Eulachahcha Waikiki,Are you human too ,Thirty but seventeen and Devilish joy..
It was superior in app experience to Viki and seemed to be having a good selection. Guess, need to go back to Netflix and Viki

So far,treading on very similar ground to the original version..
Choi Daniel is superbly cast for the lead role.Many jump-scare moments in this and Lee Ji Ah gave me goosebumps everytime she was on screen..
