Does anyone have recommendations for more dramas like this? With happy ending?

This drama.... so many feels *_* *_*

I wasn't too sure when I started this drama, having started a few historical Mainland dramas and being bored to death by dragging/nonsensical plot lines or cringing at the overacting, but this drama is so different from the rest. I struggled through the first episode, but the rest of it was so dramatic I often forgot what time it was.

Although the story is not new, it played out wonderfully as it is so character driven. You really end up loving each member of the group and never want them to separate. This is one of the few dramas where the lack of romance didn't bother me too much (being a romance junkie I usually start losing interest if the romance is lacking). This drama really sucks you into the plot/characters. I even felt for the main villain Bao, at times pitying him, at other times hating him. I thought I wouldn't like Ruyi's character much but the last few episodes made me admire her so much that I actually felt (for a brief moment) that Li Ge should remain single.

Thumbs up to the writer, the way Li Ge would solve cases, or find a way out of a tricky situation was always fascinating. The chemistry between the four heros is amazing, as is their (often) deadpanned delivery of humorous lines. Sure there are plot holes in this drama, but the acting and overall story more than make up for it. I really hope if they make a sequel (as someone commented below), they manage to keep the charm of this season. Wonderful wonderful drama !

I REALLY HOPE THIS IS TRUE

"many of the so-called scandals you see in dramas are meant to cast female characters in a bad light (e.g. as manipulative golddiggers for instance) and they portray the male character as an innocent saint "-THIS THIS THIS

(sorry forgot to add how much agree with that statement).

@cinnamaroll Thank you for this comment. I didn't know how to word what was wrong with that comment and you managed to put it so eloquently. I find it quite depressing how in cases like these there will always be someone who says "she could have started it" or "she could have done it to herself" (as implied some comments above). Do people not understand how hard it is already for women to report abuse cases? Often women only report as a last resort and that too after experiencing it for far too long. These victim blaming comments don't help anyone, rather they just feed to a society that already makes it difficult for women to find any justice in a broken system.

The fact that he admitted to hitting her once is evidence enough that this guy needs to face jail time and even more get some therapy for anger management issues. I am just glad the girl managed to pull herself out of what could have been a destructive cycle for years to come within a few months (though that doesn't discount the horrible things she has had to experience in the those few months). I hope she recovers and he get's not only the punishment he rightly deserve but the counseling he needs.

What really worries me about these cases are the obsessive fangirling comments that often come out when these type of stories break. The "he is my idol so he can do no wrong" or worse still "she should feel lucky he hit her, I would love to be hit by him". I wonder if the people behind these comments realise what exactly they are saying when they type these things. It's a complete acceptance of assault just because someone is famous/good looking. It's frightening and extremely disturbing. Just because he is famous doesn't in anyway excuse the fact that he has committed a crime. IMO it's fine to fan girl (I do it) but never to the point where you becoming forgiving of crimes committed by these people.

Your comment is so spot on. I am really disturbed by this obsessive fan culture where heinous CRIMES such as assault are brushed aside by fan-girls/boys. It's distressing to see so many of these comments come from young girls who are seemingly ok with the idea of a grown man beating/raping another woman simply because he is an idol. I hope it's something that they grow up to realise is far more wrong than they previously thought.

Hi! Did you manage to find a place with all the subs? I swear I never realised C-dramas had such a problem with subs cause I'm so used to K/j dramas being subbed so fast!

Yay!! Thanks!

Would you call it a happy ending? I'm in the mood for something happy.

This is such a hilarious detective drama. Sato and Watabe's combination and chemistry is perfect. They really are in sync with each other. As it was coming to an end I kept wishing there was a second season to this, I would love to watch more of them together. Their bantering was perfectly timed. A really fun detective show that is easy to watch.

One of the very few Kdrama that managed to not ruin the ending. There was no sense of rushing, no sense of things left unsaid or unfinished stories. Just a very cute romcom with really good chemistry between the male leads. One of my favourite things is that both the leads had to work on their issues individually as well as together. Agree with everyone that this is one of the better dramas out of 2014!

Oh and Han Groo is an awesome actress. I'm totally a fan of hers now, I already liked her from Killer K but now I adore her ! Hope she does more fun projects like this one soon.

Ah yet another drama lacking subs. Anyone know where I can watch this with eng subs (not viki cause it doesn't play in my region...)

An adorable romcom that doesn't try to be anything else. This was such a joy to watch and I will definitely be feeling the withdrawal symptoms for a while. I am an even bigger fan of Seo In Guk now because his acting was fantastic in this. This was one of the rare romcoms where the comedic scenes made me laugh out loud (kudos to the writers, it's not easy to have such scenes in nearly every episode throughout the drama). The romance, the bromance, the sisterly love the family love, the colleagues (so glad that the other female colleagues weren't mean jerks), everyone was just wonderful. It's definitely going to be something I will keep coming back to as my feel good drama. 8.5! Hope TvN keeps making these awesome dramas!

Aw, good guide. She was the first Korean Actress I thought was beautiful and charming. Some of her dramas have been not that great (I really really like you) But even if the story line sucks her acting is always the thing that pulls you in!

Thanks! I'm not a fan of reading recaps unless I plan on dropping the drama. I hope it's subbed soon as well. :(

Can I ask where did you watch it? Was it with Eng Subs ? I can't find any more eng subs after ep 8, except on viki which is only 30% Subbed. :(

Does anyone know where I can watch this with complete english subs? Viki hasn't really finished subbing... :( this is so cute I really hope someone finishes subbing it.

A 6. This drama started off well and there were definitely some very cute moments but that last 10-15 episodes were a complete waste of time, even the ending was pretty lame. I have no idea what the writer was thinking including long boring boardroom/meeting scenes. The fight between the 'uncle' and the tang family was so laughable and unrealistic. The only commendable thing about this drama is the strong portrayal of both the main lead actress and the sister. They were tough no-nonsense confident women. Both were shown to be hardworking and intelligent (not just physically/emotionally strong like most dramas like portray as the 'unique' female lead). Very admirable characters and the kind that are hard to find in dramaland.

If it wasn't for that and the strong beginning I would give this drama a 4 or less. The ending was really .....a waste of time.

Don't bother going back to Full House (the one with Rain). Nothing happens in that drama. Absolutely nothing. If you watch, I think, up to 5 episodes you have watched the whole drama.
