Disappointing storyline....
The first episode was just awesome! My expectation was so high and I was so excited, but in the end I was disappointed. The storyline was not very interesting, and I had a hard time carrying on watching it. I kept going only for Seon Ho, as his acting is just phenomenal, and he is carrying the show. It could have been a great drama if the scripts followed the story of the first episode.Dosan is like a puppy that agrees to everything that DalMi said, especially difficult business decisions. Most of the time he is just crying and acting childish.
On the other hand, Ji Pyong is a strong character, and his words are harsh, but it was always true, and people sometimes need their eyes opened instead of sugarcoating. Also, I love his relationship with harmoni.
I really tried to keep watching, but dropped at episode 10 and skipped to the last episode. It wasn't really satisfying ending for me.

the drama is sooooooo bad
Wow, it was so bad that I could not pass episode 6 and skipped to the last episode. The ending made me laugh...not in a good way. I am glad I did not force myself to watch the whole drama, as the storyline is so bad and the characters act so stupid.The concept was good, but the execution was terrible. Don't waste your time.

perfect for you if you want to wach something easy
If you are looking for a nice watch with a typical villain and a happy resolution to the plot, this is the drama for you. It is easy to watch, with a great team that tried to fight the bad guys. My favorite part was how they became close, like a family. Do not expect too much; just enjoy the ride.The story is nice and easy to follow, with great team-building. For me, twelve episodes was too much, as bored towards the end.
Overall it's an okay drama—not great, not bad.

How to Make Millions before Grandma Dies

beautiful movie that will makes you cry
It's a beautiful story that follows a student and his desperation to make money using his family. At the beginning, it was sad to see how he tried to use his grandmother, but later on… it made my eyes tearful all the time.It reminds me of myself when, as a teenager, I did not visit my grandparents much, but later on, when I was older, I appreciated them, but sometimes it's too late. The movie is a good reminder not to neglect your grandparents if you still have them!

Great love story from student era.
It's a great movie. I love the story and the way we can see how their love story unfolds. It left an impact on me, and I didn't expect the ending. The acting was great, as was their chemistry. Definitely recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
interesting plotline but pure execution...dropped
Well...the first few episodes were just pure suffering, but I have read in the comments that the drama really starts after the first 3 episodes. So I was waiting and waiting for the drama to get better, but I am still waiting. 😁 For me, it was not worth the wait. I did not like the male lead as he was very annoying, and the story/plot is nothing special and was not executed very well. I was still waiting for a miracle to happen, but I gave up at episode 8 and dropped the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
You will really fall for the village people and great investing team
The story is very captivating, and I did not get bored. The first episodes were so funny, and I laughed so hard. It is a shame it didn't hold up throughout the whole drama. I love the storyline and how they built a great team to catch the bad guys and find the missing. It is nice to see how they unfolded the main case and the connections between characters, even if the story is predictable. I like that you get to know the story of each character. I thought it would be more fantasy, but the fantasy/mystery part is not that big in the drama.The only negative was the editing, as it went suddenly from one scene to another, without knowing what is going on.
I definitely recommend it as the concept is new. I cannot wait to watch season 2!

Amazing Realistic historical drama
I am glad that I stopped making decisions based on ratings or comments, as this drama is great! I watched *Before Sunrise* first, and I think it helped me understand the characters better.I was hooked from the first episode, and it maintained the same pace until the end. I was also on the edge of my seat the whole time.
It starts as a beautiful story of a couple in love and their journey to create a Joseon and a monarch who would serve the people, not power. I wish they had made the drama longer so we could see the full story of their journey. Sometimes I did not realize there was a time jump and got confused.
It was heartbreaking to see how he treated her, despite still loving her. She helped him become king so he could fulfill his dream of a Joseon. Also, because of his actions and queen's support, he could prepare the foundation for a greater king. The last episode made me tearful. Towards the end, you understand why he eliminated so many people, as it is hard to start anew if there is still corruption and others desire power. It shows the true life behind the golden gate. Once you are in, you cannot get out alive. Despite all the killing he is famous for, he was a good king who did so much for the people; shame they could not include it all in the drama.
The acting was amazing, especially Joo Young and Hyun Woon; they slayed their roles. Also the production is great.
Overall, it is a great realistic historical drama that will not disappoint you. I could not give it high rating as it did not leave the same impact as My Dearest, Under the Queens umbrella, The tale of lady Ok.

Could have been a great show if it had kept the same pace as the middle of the drama.
I started this drama because I love *Signal*, which is a masterpiece, anda lot of people were comparing it to that. To be honest, *Tunnel* has a
long way to go to be on the same/similar level as *Signal*.
The first few episodes were hard to get into, but after that, I was
hooked and on the edge of my seat and could not stop watching as the
storyline was so interesting. It was a rollercoaster, and I loved it.
Saying that, from episode 12, it gets kind of slow, and I was losing interest as they kept dragging the story with unnecessary twists. How the police could be so stupid and some dialogues didn't make sense.
I wish they had made the drama shorter. The acting was okayish.
Also, they could have executed the ending a little better. I would love to see a flashback to the future to see how things changed.
Overall, it is a good watch as I loved the storyline, but it is a shame that it could have been a great drama if they had made it a 12-episode drama.

Great start but lost interest midway...dropped
The drama kept me hooked at the beginning, but I have started losing interest after nine episodes. I wish they would make it shorter and not drag it to sixteen episodes. The drama is very predictable and sometimes hard to watch, but I have enjoyed it. I tried to finish the drama a few times, but sadly I skipped to the last episode as I could not carry on. It is a shame as I like Jun Ho, especially in *Red Sleeve*.Was this review helpful to you?
it is okayish...nothing more nothing less
The drama was captivating, so I watched it in two days. Luckily, it is only six episodes. It's a nice concept that has been well-executed. I could not help but feel that sometimes the fighting scenes with the parasites seemed funny. I liked the ML and FL; they were a good team. The policewoman can be sometimes quite annoying, but she comes around at last.I didn't see the magma, but the story makes sense without that knowledge. Overall, it is a good watch if you have spare time, but nothing special.

Great cast but it's missing the wow factor as season 1 had.
Finally, we got another season. I was so looking forward to it. I loved Gong Yoo as the recruiter; he portrayed the role perfectly. I liked all the new characters, especially TOP, as he weirdly brightened the atmosphere of the drama. My favorite characters were Sung Hoon and Kang Ha Neul.The drama did not have the same wow factor as the first season. Maybe because I knew what to expect. It was nice to see them add new games and that Player 001 joined the game. Also, I did not really like Player 456's obsession with the man in the black mask, as it became a little annoying.
Overall, it's a good watch, and it will be interesting to see how they end it.

it is a nice story that could have been beautiful
It's sooo good, I fell for them after the second episode. I love how they try to protect each other, especially from the abusive father. And it's nice to see Do Hoe smile when he is with Yu Young, as his life was so hard and he had to endure a lot.I wish that the drama had stuck to the story in their teenage years, as the 10-year later jump is not that interesting and it doesn't have the same charm. It's a real shame, as the first two episodes were perfect.
In the end, I understand why Do Hoe behaved terribly, and we got a lively last episode, but it does not compensate for the middle part.
Overall, it's a nice story that could have been beautiful.

love horors/thrillers but could not get through this one.
From the beginning, it was hard for me to stay focused, as the drama did not impress me. This was surprising to me, as I usually enjoy thrillers and horrors. I'm not sure if it was the way it was filmed. I tried several times to watch another episode, but by episode 7, I gave up and dropped the drama. I had been really looking forward to it, as it had a high rating and great reviews.The story was good, but the execution fell flat for me. The production could have been better, and I didn't connect with the main characters. The female lead was particularly annoying, and the way the three of them interacted was just strange. The only positive was Dong Woo; I really liked his character.

Nice and easy watch...no stress!
What a nice surprise! I got hooked from the first episodes and was rooting for Yi Heon as he tried his best to put things right. It was refreshing to see someone teaching others the right way of life, and he was spreading his wisdom. I loved his friendship with Se Kyung and the positive influence he had on him. It is nice to have a friend you can rely on and who wants only the best for you. I liked the storyline, and the ending was satisfying for me as everyone was punished (that does not happen very often), and he could fulfill his dream of becoming a student.It was a really nice easy watch, especially as it was refreshing to see the story in reverse, as we saw the worst happen at the beginning and after that things got better and better. No stress.
