It's not fair to the drama to write a review when it's only on its 5th episode, so I'll post a comment instead. There is a little spoiler ahead, but it's not worth it to put the whole comment under spoiler.
I haven't read the webtoon, so I can't say if it's the same or not. So I will be completely unbiased. I started to watch it out of pure boredom and had next to no expectations.
The drama starts off good and the idea is interesting (at least the first 3,5 episodes). For me, it's moving way too fast and I had to double check the episode count, because I thought it would end on episode 4 and it's some sort of web drama. I honestly can't understand what's going on with the story after episode 4, and what the idea is. For me episode 5 doesn't make any sense, and the whole historical part is weird. How could he remember a past life is beyond me.
There are many question marks for me, many things are unclear as to how and why they happen. If I were to judge from the comments they fit the whole webtoon in 4 episodes and it wasn't even accurate.
The acting is mediocre at best. Jin Goo is not really appealing to me, but acting is far more important than that, well, he's not exceptionally good, but it's okay. Seolhyun and Jonghyun are decent.
I don't know Korean, but I have the feeling that Seolhyun has a lisp, because she doesn't pronounce the worlds clearly. Same for Jonghyun, especially when he spoke with his uncle in episode 4.
For me there's not much chemistry between Ma Ri and Jae Min, or between any of the characters. Maybe it's because the story is moving way too fast. I just don't feel it.
I don't want to be negative, the idea is good and interesting and I might read the webtoon, but the drama is bad, a disappointment and considering I had no expectations, it says something. I think I might drop the drama, it would be the first one I'd drop...
where is everyone watching ths at i watch it on hulu + but only ep 1 n 2 are up

Woah, great profession! I hope nothing bad happened... I'm a birthday person - to me everyone's birthday is the most important day. Sometimes I get more excited or worried about someone else's birthday than my own :D

I love Paris, it's one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to, but I to admit it - I spent one day in the Louvre and Tuileries Garden ^^ I'm from Bulgaria - south-eastern Europe a.k.a. Balkan Peninsula. I want to study many languages (french is one of them), but in my hometown there aren't any opportunities... Whatever, I'm moving next year he-he Sooo puppy eyes worked - yes, yes, yes :D I've never asked - how old are you? (just curious, yeaaah, I ask many questions... sorry)

Oh, me, too. I have separate folder just for drama music! About music... I love Big Bang (no news here). I think 2NE1 have something unique about their sound and I like plenty of their songs, but they come after Big Bang, MBLAQ, U-KISS, B.A.P, JYJ, SuJu and EXO. Please, don't be scared by the fact that I like EXO *puppy eyes* I'm not some crazy fangirl that wants to marry Luhan :D Though... after I think a bit... just kidding ^^ Among the girl groups 2NE1 stands on the pedestal LOL Still I listen to many girl groups but just a few songs from each. From which city are you from? (I've been to France and I love it that's why I'm asking, don't mind me ^^)

I love the MV, I love the whole album :D I even think to make myself an early Christmas/Birthday presen with his album ^^ I kind of have the same taste in dramas as you, but usually I tend to skip the cry-a-lot type, because I cry a lot :D I am 100% rom-com lover and I like criminal dramas a lot (though I haven't watched many, because once I start it I won't be able to do anything else...) What k-pop groups do you like? (except Big Bang and GD ^^).
P.S. I'm sorry for the late reply, but I had to go to sleep since I have school.

Something like you :D I watched animes a lot, and listen to j-music and one day I found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VviPBziZyAE and I mistook it for a korean song (until then I've never heard korean), then I found Big Bang and decided to give a try to a drama... and it was the end of the "sane" life for me. What dramas do you like?

Hi, thanks for the request <3 I'm Glory (I guess you already read). What's your name?
To me the cast is 50/50. I don't really see all of them in their respective roles. I'll give it a try just because I love Boys Over Flowers and watched it like 6-7 times.
Why? Why? This can't be true... I hope everything will be fine in the next episode - it can't end like this. The episode made me laugh and cry so much, but IT CAN'T END THIS WAY!

Well... As I see it, you like a little bit different groups (I mean not the generic kpop). I think you may like Block B, CN BLUE (they are "soft" rock band), MBLAQ (underrated, but they are second in my list after BIGBANG), TRAX (again rock band). Tell me if you liked any their songs. About the jpop - try Melody. :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9yAu5lhyeo It's one of my favourite j-songs. I bet you've heard of Ayumi Hamasaki - she has nice songs, but I like her older ones better. Miyavi is one of my favourite japanese singers, he is more like pop-rock. I hope I was of some help ^^

Well, I listen to a lot of electronic music, but it's not many people's choice. Which Kpop groups are you listening to (there I may have a lot of recommendations :D)?

I watched a lot of anime and listened to j-music. Then accidentally I found a Korean song (Big Bang's song) and loved it so I searched for more and discovered other groups. So after I got in k-pop, I decided to wa a Korean drama and I really liked it and here I am nowD What music do you listen to besides k-pop?
