so I'll say this now, and I'll come back for an update later after I've re-watched it. To start this drama story wise is amazing. the combination of crime, mystery, drama, and super natural is perfect. The elements might be redundant but for some reason combined here they are fresh and appealing. From the beginning I was hooked and couldn't get out. The intertwined faith of characters is really well written and planed out.
*bit of a spoiler*Now when it comes to the romance and unlike the popular opinion I couldn't even take it in. At the start I was indifferent and couldn't care less who she ends up with. but as the drama progressed and with the back story I couldn't see them together. It just doesn't feel like lovers kind of love, but more of a special bond between two people saved and savior. I can always ignore the romance and the drama survive effortlessly. I'll rewatch then maybe

Agree, I feel real life has so much problems that when it comes to fiction I'd want to have a happy ending, or something decent.
The ones that keep bothering me are roof top & faith. RTP, I can't get over it. I spent days analyzing the end "who was there?" it had to be both or it wouldn't be fair. not to mention poor Bo young who died in the past and don't get anything -the king liked the future Park Ha. So annoying and it stills annoys the heck out of me. As for Faith, it's like you said after 4 yrs you get to see her and you smile? what about her who didn't even say goodbye to her family to meet to him and no hug? please!

liking him in Just You :)

Loved this article. I agree with some of what you say, especially number 4. "I like it because I like it." "The male lead is cute -yes cute- so I watched it ." "the story line is cheesy but that's the best part about it." :)

I kinda agree w you

Ghost Detective is one I plane to watch. though I'm already watching Who Are You and Master's Sun but I love mystery and super natural. I might watch Hwatu after it finishes airing since it reminds of Faith and I love historical settings.

I don't like horror but the posters for this drama hooked me -reminded me of some anime. Having a comedy element totally works for me it compensates the crazy faces that show up suddenly. I like Gong Hyo jin's character but it's somehow similar to hers in Pasta. As for So Ji sub's character he's mean but hilarious at the same time XD I'm sticking with this drama and hopefully it'll be good.

Weird ratings I guess don't match with the general public?! Is it really based on ability or who do you like....

OMG I loved RK's movie it was awesome...I can't wait for the next two...I just HOPE they will be as good as the 1st one

I really liked this drama, the OST was great. The ending felt a bit weird since I'm not sure was he also possessed by the game or not. Since it's more of an open ending it would be interesting to see a season 2.

I would love to see Haruma play Usui :D

I liked him in A Better Tomorrow

My thoughts exactly the 2nd half was not very well written. It felt that they didn't know how to go about it. Also the ending made no sense. gave 6 as well

She is one of my favorite actresses. first saw her in ISWAK and kept following her work since then.

Oh it most certainly does. the beginning feels like they're fine and everything, but the drama starts later. give it another try and you won't regret it. The last 3 episodes were tear jerkers for me.

Although it's a typical setting of a Kdrama, it stays as one of my favorite dramas of all times. Choi Jin Sil was amazing in this and she really made me cry. I usually don't like weak characters like the one she portrays, still she's one of my most loved ones. After watching this drama I learned that she committed suicide and was very saddened since she's such an amazing actress. and like the previous comment it made me look at the drama differently when I watched it again -I guess that's why I like it so much since she gets a happy ending in it unlike real life.
I totally recommend this.

Ok after watching City Hunter I went into LMH fever -though not a huge fan- and decided to watch this, and I'm glad I did! I dare to say to me this was better than CH in terms of the settings and the romance. Kim Hee Sun was great in this drama very different from Sad Love Story, I love her character out spoken and strong spirit. The chemistry btw her and LMH was overflowing and the progress of their romance is what me kept hooked. The story is very appealing -if you're into time travel, and historical themes. The different characters were interesting. The lack of a big face off between Choi Young and -let's call him Mr. Freeze since I forgot his name- was disappointing. Overall fighting scenes were good.
I don't know why this drama isn't as popular w people as CH but I think it's great and worth watching. It's a bit of a slow start but it gets good.
Totally recommended

Just to start off this is a good drama but not the best -unlike many opinions.The story is good & was well carried out but there were many loopholes and not very convincing solutions/approaches.
Acting wise I think everyone did a very good job and delivered their character well. Park Min Young was better in this drama than in sungkyunkwan scandal. Lee Min Ho was easy on the eye, good fighting scenes,and delivered an entertaining character. However I couldn't find any drop of chemistry between Na Na & Lee Yoon Sung. I wanted to feel their love but couldn't. The last episode was great but the epilogue ruined the great face off part. It was so vague & very non-comprehensive that I would rather it ended with the shooting. It was rushed not well set up.Overall good drama I would give it 8-9 for the great story & the well set fighting scenes.Also I would say it's a must Lee Min Ho drama see

I've put this drama aside for a long time, but since it's summer break I decided to watch it and I'm glad I did ^^
Unlike many people I think the first 2 episodes were good and necessary to establish connections and characters, though the genre changes pace to more drama. The beginning itself doesn't really tell you the actual story but it makes you wonder what is going on. Also like others said the core story starts around episode 8.
he main female crying still didn't affect me as I hoped but she is still very lovable -you won't feel so the 1st few episodes.
This drama is definitely recommended, give it a chance and you'll have yourself an entertaining drama.

Love this drama, cried so much at the mother's hardships. It's recommended if you're into family love and a taboo topic that's never addressed in k dramas.

Never realized it was Gong Hyo Jin since I watched this a long time ago. Knowing it was her makes it even better -she's such good actress.
