That town should just be named Hopeless.
This was great movie that everyone did live up to the title, each and every single person in that town was hopeless...even the guys in power.I fell in love again with Song Joong Ki, despite him being a leader in the gang,he had a soft spot for the young kid and really wanted to help him.I liked his character.The young actor indeed deserved the award for Best New actor he portrayed his character very well, strong yet fragile.He was not a bad kid but the circumstances around him were just not letting him win even an inch.Also why wasn't him mum ever on his side? That was just sad.The chain of events that led him in killing the one adult who had his back was indeed sad.The one who was suspected of tampering with his bike was not culprit yet got punished...the one who did tamper with the bike was in his own hell. Despite their bickering the step-sister cared for him deeply glad they left that town together.I would definitely rewatch it.Was this review helpful to you?
Upgrade neighborhood watch.
Something about this drama reminds me of Seoul Busters.Came across a reel of the scene of the supermarket hostage situation and i decided to watch it.They are upgrade of the neighborhood watch, solving cases in their neighborhood smartly.They never rashly tried to handle the cases but approached the situation with caution.When the women band together they are a force to reckon with and a menace to their opponents.There are certain comedic moments just had me doing a rewind especially the marriage of the ex policewoman and her cop husband.I think they did the minimart lady dirty by giving her older character a really old husband....By the time of writing this review there are rumors of a second season,hope they don't drop the ball on it.Was this review helpful to you?
Don't watch with BL or Bromance expectations
This drama is not getting the attention it deserves or rather people are somewhat underrating it and i believe its due to its cast being young talent.It is a good watch where the male lead is indeed inlove with his girlfriend's personality/soul or whatever you would consider being inlove with who a person is deep down.Yoon Jae's feelings do not change despite his girlfriend turning into a man he hopes and believes his girlfriend will return to her 'normal self'.I believe the casting was deliberate because Yoon Jae n Ji Hoon(male version of gf) have more chemistry with each other than Yoon Jae and Ji Eun(actual gf).The lady playing the girlfriend tends to be forgettable as she does not have much screentime apart from the flashback and the few moments she changes back to being a woman.Ji Hoon has great chemistry with everyone in her social circles,from the bestfriend to the parents.So he really stands out in his character,even when fighting the love rival.The love rival is somewhat too much because Yoon Jae has clearly expressed he is not interested in her but she totally ignores him and is forcing herself on him too much.Giving this series a chance is not a bad idea.Was this review helpful to you?

Dont hae high expectations.
This was a decent watch not too bad or too good....i watched it for two specific reasons,Yoo Ah In being in it,i sincerely hope he comes back to the entertainment scene like he never left and my second reason Park Jin young playing a villain.The movie left me with one major question, If all the recipients received their donated organs from one body....How could the donor body die despite having healing abilities? Also what was the vision all about Park Jin Young saw? Did an evil being want to decend/assend on earth? Or did it want to posses him?
Would have loved to see Tank man get justice from his plagiarism allegations.
Fresh girl/woman at least got her closure with the fireman healed.
The special effects to me seemed abit animated...all in all,like i said...not too bad or too good.

Its not for the simple minded.
This drama is indeed of mature content from the social-political and geo-economic matters being addressed it will certainly have niché fans.Sexual orientation of the characters is more like secondary story to whats going on,we have a hippie who seems to swing both ways,a professor trying to figure out what's going on,a colonel in a forced marriage having an affair with a closetted journalist who also happens to be in a relationship.The relationship lines are really blurred and mixed.Personally i am watching it for the second couple because i am curious how they end up because the setting of this drama is the 1960's so same-sex unions in the country is still a taboo.The cinematography is well done and i am also enjoying the soundtracks in the series.The thing i am just unable to stand is Tanwa's hair, something about it doesn't just sit right with me.
