Tried to watch the first episode about 3 times... Couldnt. Not sure why but really does it get better?
It will definitely get better after the first episode which was a bit random. They tried to introduce all the major players in one go. Things will get a lot better once Healer started to look after Ji-An .
If you want to see another aspect of LJS in a purely romantic drama, this is it. As there was no suspense, he had to perform more with his words and feelings throughout. Fortunately Lee Na Young was outstanding in supporting him as Dan-I . He just needed that little magic touch from her to make this drama so interesting. The confusing feelings she had for him was certainly challenging and Lee made us guessing almost to the latter parts of the drama. Be patient, you will be rewarded, after episode 10. Still very enjoyable as they were a great couple.
Brilliant drama with action and suspense. JCW was excellent in providing his unique aerobatic talents which was fun to watch. Park Min Young was on top form as the cheerful rookie reporter with a big smile. She provided a very memorable performance here as the lady in love and in distress. All her encounters with the Healer were touching and heart warming. Yoo Ji Tae was fantastic as the news anchor who added so much depth to this very interesting story. Kim Mi Kyung was so believable and the slick and quick witted hacker. The writer and director did a fantastic job in giving us a rich story with a nice balance of suspense, pace and romance. Never a dull moment. It is one of those you will binge watch once you have started. Full marks with a lovely OST. Needless to say, apart from individual excellence awards to PMY and JCW, they also won the best couple award and Healer won the best drama award.
Such an emotionally charged drama, I am glad I am only watching two episodes in every week to allow time to soak them in. It is getting better and better. So happy to see more genuine feelings between HD and YJ. He certainly was showing more care and protection for HD than just a friend.
First to say is that I enjoyed every single drama which JSY was in. He is a natural expert in romantic dramas. This is by far the most intense and interesting romantic thriller . The story was fresh, intriguing and well written. To make it plausible, Ms Han, the female lead had to shift up a gear to match JSK. And she was very good. She was excellent as a dotty girl friend who would sacrifice anything to save him. The couple’s troubled journey was heart breaking to watch and put the audience at the edge of their seats. There were so many variations of the plot as the episodes moved on. Excellent ost. Will definitely become a Classic Lee Jong Suk collection. Deserved the best drama award, best couple award as well as best actor and best actress.
No matter how many time I rewatch the farewell scene to Arj1-3, my tears welled up without fail to see them in so much pain. The music added salt to the wound in this sad scene.
Lee Jong Suk is the king of romantic thriller and naturally all his opposite numbers were excellent actresses. Suzy Bae was cute and matched his boyish grin with her version of head tilting smiling eyes which captured his heart, She provided a lot of light hearted romance to lift the heavy atmosphere of this drama. The story was actually very well written snd will capture your attention right from the beginning. I really enjoyed his role as a quick witted prosecutor with a great presence in court. They won the best actor, best actress and the best couple awards proved that Suzy Bae was a quality actress. The OST was also sung by her and was nominated as best ost. If you like Lee Jong Suk, you must watch this.
I have never come across an emotional drama like this one before. Each episode just throws you a curve ball in the last 5 minutes which brings tears to your eyes. You can feel the unspoken bond between HD and YJ with each of their encounter . We all need something like that in our life:
This is a brilliant medical drama. It showed well the realities which the junior surgical trainees had to face. The pressure from work, the long hours, the challenging medical problems, as well as facing the demanding relatives were all there., Thankfully the kind sympathetic nursing staff were also included in the story to support them. Not often the case seen in medical drama. Ms Oh (Jin) was a typical 'Queen Bee' who kept the house in order. She deserved a special award for her great form in portraying her full dedication for everyone in the hospital. In real life, there is always one in every operating theatre. Well written story with good acting from all the main actors. The plot was intense right from the start and it was difficult to pause. But one must take breaks as the intensity increased with each episode. Dr Yu (Seo) and Dr Kang (Yoo) were excellent in displaying their inner struggles with every dilemma they had to face. The former also provided us the hard to get romance as light relief. I like them as an adorable couple. Of course, the ace of the drama was Han as Teacher Kim. He certainly provided all the important lessons in a roundabout way to everyone. Very cool. This is one of those dramas which you have seen once and never forgotten. Excellent and memorable. Well worth your time
Excellent drama with very good acting to make it all possible throughout. The two male leads and the two female leads were fantastic to watch as they bickered with each other. The ghosts were friendly and fun at times and therefore each episode was exciting. The story was refreshing and focused on saving the patients by the two doctors with opposiote personalities. Strongly recommended
Not the usual romantic drama. The character of the ML was awkward and the FL had to struggle to keep up. The second couple’s chemistry was way better and I enjoyed their romance more. Overall I was disappointed after such a promising start. The ost was great though.
The last 7 minutes of episode 4 had the most emotional conversation which kept me awake all night. Both HD and YJ delivered their best here so far. Heart warming +++
Very slow drama attempting to explore the inner thoughts and emotional hurdles of the main couple. It was actually very well done and I enjoyed it very much. Han and Jung were an admirable couple.. Their playful courting was very realistic and reminded us of what falling in love was all about. Han’s was on top form as she displayed all her affection for Ji Ho through sophisticated body language . Giving time to know one’s long term partner before marriage is certainly not easy. And there should not be any hesitation to stop if it does not work out. The key question one should ask oneself is ‘will you be happy to spend the rest of your life together’? This drama answered that question very well. If you are in a mood for this, then it is very worthwhile and you will be taken into their world gently
Ignore the reviews and just enjoy the rollercoaster ride. I found this very entertaining right from the word go and kept me hooked until the end. Of course Ji Chang Wook was superb as the all action hero. But Song Yoon Ah to me was the star of the show with her many faces as Madam. Unforgettable as a high calibre actress. She was key to the plot and gave it so much more depth rather than just another action drama. I gave the drama a very high score because of its tremendous entertainment value.
Typical Japanese drama which needs you to sit back to think about it. It is about coming of age in high school students trying to explore romance, friendship and sharing each other’s burden. Meaningful but one has to be in the right mood for it. Interesting to see Erika Toda and Yamashita of Code Blue fame performed so well early on . I did not even recognise them at all. They were very good. Worthwhile just to see them in action in this.
One of my all time favourite. It took great acting skills to bring the characters of Su Ha and Jian alive. Lee Jong Suk's grin was always superb in these roles with his boyish grin matched with smiling eyes. Superb actor. His opposite number, Lee Bo Young, I must take my hat off for capturing my heart right from the start. She could be a top notch lawyer one minute and yet hopelessly scatty another minute. It was fun to watch her many facial expressions as she struggled to hide her love for Su Ha. I think it was really a perfect love story between two youngsters who met each other under extreme circumstances and found each other again after 10 years. So heart warming to see what they did to protect each other. Surprising at times . I must mention Yoon San Hyung (Mr Cha) and Lee Da Hee (Ms Seo) for their outstanding roles as a hot blooded defender and ice cold prosecutor. Ms Seo's acted particularly well in delivery of a sterling performance in stealing everyone's heart. The lead couple deservedly won the best actor and best actress award and Ms Lee Da Hee won the best supporting actress award. A must watch drama. You will not be disappointed.
Both Lee and Park were on top form for this. Emotionally charged drama which relied on facial expressions, speech and body language to bring this alive. They both managed to put their anguish, pain and loss to the audience abundantly. Their devotion to each other did not waver a bit from the time they first met . It was a very sweet romantic story and was particularly nice to see them grow and supported each other junior school to become reporters together. I have much more respects for both of them as actors after this drama and became their supporters. Mush watch.
Exciting action and romance drama throughout. Difficult to strike the right balance made possible only by brilliant acting from the two leading couples. Our Captain, a Tom Cruise (1986) look alike , was the dashing hero who tried to save the world, only checked by his long suffering doctor girlfriend. Very well played by Ms Song. It was sad to see them bicker and separate but happy to see them reunite again. They had tremendous chemistry together. That was almost a good enough reason to watch this drama. To put icing on the cake, Jin, as the Sargent major, played a major role in the action scenes to bring the story alive. A touch of buddy bromance with the Captain there. In addition, he had to keep a painful cool distance from his pretty devoted girlfriend Kim who gave her heart to him. The four of them actually played very well off each other. The many action scenes kept this drama flowing without a single dull episode. Fantastic OST typical in the leading dramas. I think this is going to be a classic. Definite worth a rewatch someday
