Was it just me or did the final episode have a totally different vibe? I was all in from the first episode but it was a very non linear journey. This series kept me entertained although not always happy. Honestly, I was quite frustrated at the lead characters [for different reasons] but this strangely kept my interest. Much respect to Lee Se Young and Oh Eun Seo for their portrayal of Kang Hui... they absolutely made me hate and love that character. Solid acting.

This was a pretty straight forward, not too much angst, linear type of series. Would recommend this if you are just looking for light entertainment and some eye candy [so to speak]. Leads looked great, although I didn't find much passion between them. Your mileage may vary of course. Entertaining but not a rewatch for me [honestly, I already forgot most of it].

Soooooo... just finished episode 11. This has been a beautiful, frustrating and punishing watch. I'm still all in on this but I've had to take so many breaks out of sheer frustration with the FL. Lee Se Young is a fantastic actor but her character needs professional help. Strangely enough, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's completion of this.

I really wanted to like this but left disappointed. It was "okay" which is a shame as it had all the ingredients for something much, much better. I don't mind slow and [somewhat] repetitive if the storyline advances but there were episodes where nothing happened... nothing. Acting was good to average and the writing was on the lower side of acceptable. Decent OST though.

Probably the most entertaining korean movie I've watched... although I haven't watched a lot of them. Good story, strong acting + direction, and decent cinematography. It left off where it needed to leave off [closure] so you can let your mind decide Na Bo Ra's next phase.

Okay series but I don't think it could figure out what it wanted to be. I enjoyed the earlier episodes that were more about bonding [that's what I signed up for actually] but was still engaged until the end. Sure, you had to leave reality at the door sometimes but it added to the fun. Kim Eui-sung is a solid villain, he played that role perfectly and it was perhaps the best written character as well. Still waiting for a strong lead role for Kim Min-jung though, let's hope that happens soon.

Geez, you think they would have given Esther a bit more air time following that turn of events!

I enjoyed this drama, it's certainly a Master Class in Acting from Ra Mi Ran and Kang Mal Geum. Interesting storylines interwoven and revealed throughout kept my attention and interest. Could have lived with less of the Trot guy and Sam Sik but I'm sure some viewers loved them. The kids [Ye JIn and Seo Jin] never failed to make me smile. A solid watch.

well that escalated quickly! ;)

The most glaring is Gyu Jin, the Disciplinary Committee guy. I have no issues with his acting but he's a very tough sell as a high school student.

enjoying this ride so far. however, some actors in their thirties can [sort of] pull off a high school student but a few of them here really can't. no offense intended, their acting skills are great but some of them look solidly in their thirties. eagerly awaiting next week's drop.

It had a totally different vibe than the prior episode as well as the next episode... it was out of place. I didn't find it funny, I found it [almost] annoying. Perhaps it's just my particular sense of humour. I didn't find Mr. Queen engaging either although the majority found it hilarious. Just my thoughts.

This was fine... nothing outlandish or thought provoking. Nakamura Anne was, yet again, great although I really didn't feel any chemistry between the two leads. That hindered my enjoyment a bit, I think I would have been more vested if I saw a spark. Fun overall though.

This started off slow with some rather shaky writing and acting. However, around episode 4 this started to become a very solid offering. Nam Ji-hyun was great throughout and her crying got better as time went on. The last episode was odd: half was solid killer and half was filler in sequential order. Luckily they pulled it all back together for a satisfying end. A decent and fun watch, well worth your time.

Oddly, it seems like I'm in the minority on this but I'm all in on this one. You need a starting point... both leads are damaged but I trust this will be a journey of positive growth for them. I'd be disappointed [and bored] if they got together immediately, where's the fun in that? Sure, the misunderstandings can get a little bothersome but hopefully we've now be exposed to the majority of those situations. Looking forward to next week, bring it on!

Half way through. I was going to drop this after the second episode but kept on just incase. Glad I did as this has turned out to be some much need light entertainment. Sure, twists here and there but nothing too extreme. Really enjoying the camaraderie between the 4 bottom-tier, it's comforting. Would really appreciate it if the writer / director could give a little more substance to Seol Mae Hwa as I'd like to see Kim Min Jung do more than just stare... she's awesome but this role is too limiting. I said the same thing about her character in Mr. Sunshine. Okay, onwards to the back 8!

Great drama... well written, acted and directed. Kim Hye Soo once again proves she's a top grade actor.10 episodes was enough to build up to the climax and have an effective ending. Solid but know full well the subject matter before you watch.

Solid entertainment. Just finished the second episode and am now in a week long wait of anticipation. Out of the three "on air" kdramas I'm watching at the moment, this one is my favourite. All good so far... well, except for the fat suit [but I'll give that a pass].

Well, that was a dark but interesting way to end the viewing year! Found the story + direction intriguing and the actors did a great job. It takes a while for the real picture to come into frame so if you're confused, just stick with it until the end. Awesome seeing Hui Si and Yeong Tak at the very end... bring on the next season of Moving to see how this plays out.

It turned around for me at about the eighth episode, not that is was stellar but I found the ML/FL lead less childish [perhaps inexperienced?] in the last episodes. I enjoyed it overall but was really hoping for better with those two as the leads.
