I have to say that this drama is one of my favorites. Park Min Young (Sung Duk Mi) is one of my favorite actresses.She does such a good job. I have also watched a couple of her other dramas and I find that whichever one she is in they all end up to be superb.
Kim Jae Wook and Park Min Young’s chemistry throughout the drama. How Ryan Gold is able to accept all of Duk Mi even her fangirl side is truly the show of his love and support for her.
I actually hoped that Cha Shi Ahn would find out who his number one fan was. He showed so much appreciation for what his fan has done for him that it would have been an exciting moment between the two.

Refreshing Love Story

It was definitely better then I originally thought. I've been putting it off for months now, but I've recently been in the faze of watching online gaming dramas and Love O2O was of course in that list of dramas to watch. What really helped was that I've been listening to the soundtrack for a while, while not knowing that it came from this drama.

A couple things that I love about this drama is that there aren't any break ups between the two leads, to add to that there also aren't any misunderstandings that lead do bad outcomes. They have so much trust between the two which I love. Even before both of them getting together in real life Xiao Nai was protective of Bei Weiwei and would not let any other man chase after her.

The antagonist Female didn't create too many problems/conflicts for the two leads, which was refreshing to see. They always to have them to be very cruel to the Female Main Lead, but she just had a huge crush to the Male Main lead and surrounded herself with friends that made her misunderstand situations and make her overall jealous of the Bei Weiwei.

On another note I love Yang Yang so him being in this drama was an added bonus.

This drama is so heartbreaking, tragic, but also happy. Once you get to the meat of the story you feel sad for the two main characters. They have gone through so much pain and trauma.
The major plot twist of how their families still stayed in contact and they both switched families.
This is the one drama that is a happy kind of sad. In the middle of season after each episode I was crying my heart out for the two. Not many dramas make me cry as much as this one did.
The two reincarnating and finally getting a second chance at their love is so heart warming, that not many people get the chance of. With the memories of their past lives it make everything more touching.

Did not expect that.

Wow!!
Great action, superb acting and short enough to get the whole story down in 8 episodes. It didn't drag out to long.

In the beginning I may have wished that it was the police that killed her father and she gained another father figure from Choi Min Jin, but it helps having plot twists misleading us from the actual truth to gain our attention span for the whole drama.

The one thing I did not see coming was the romance. The drama went on about revenge didn't really focus on the partner relationship Yoon Ji Woo has with Pildo and out of no where episode 8 they both sleep together. That was unexpected because I wasn't reading any romance between them just that they both had similar goals of catching a murderer of their loved one.

I did not expect that ending. It was cruel to Yoon Ji Woo. She looses her father then for the first time in 5 years she finally learns to trust and lean on someone else and he gets killed right in front of her.

I loved how the cases usually took up more than one episode. It allows us to not be able to predict when the case will be over by the amount of time left in the episode.
I was hoping for more bromance between Lu Yao and Qiao.
The one thing that I hate about this drama is the main actress, Bai Youning. She is the most annoying person and always tries to get what she wants by bullying Lu Yao. I honestly do not see how he fell in love with her and got married in the end.
I was very curious at the end what was written on the paper he got on the boat at the very end.
The cases always had a mysterious twist to them which always pulled me in.

The ending was unexpected, but it fit well with the story line.

This drama has been promoted so much that I always expect more when it's finally released. This drama had so much potential, but there was just too much information for 16 episode drama.

Lee Gon (Lee Min How and Jung Tael Eul (Kim Go Eun) had no chemistry filming. One episode they were in disagreement the next they were in love. It didn't make sense. There was no relationship development. True the main points of the dram was related to the flut, but for any good relationship the audience needs to be able to see the evolution of the characters feelings for each other.

Those who had to play two roles showed a lot of acting potential. They were able to stay in character as the universe changed. The one actor that was extremely convincing was Woo Do Hwan who played Jo Young and Eun Sub. His characters were the polar opposite of each other.

The relationship between Lee Gon and Jo Young was the best. King and bodyguard, brothers and best friends. They are perfect for having each others backs.

One main Con side of this drama was that there were TOO much product placement. Where there was one there was always another nearby. It was almost as if they had to be put in last minutes that made them stand out so much. as the products were being promoted it didn't help that the actors had to say some cheesy lines that work better in ads then in a drama.

The one actor that I had no love for was Kin Go Eun. I did not believe that she was the perfect fit for her characters.

The story line is one of the most confusing ones I have ever seen. You really have to think and find all the hidden clues that connect everything together. Each episode gives us a little bit of information. Any story line that has any relation to time travel and alternate universes has the right to be a little confusing.

This drama was worth it because of Woo Do Hwan. I think he was the main attraction and may have stolen the action light from his fellow actors.

I first started watching this drama months ago. It was full of action and comedy, but I had no love for
Kim Min Jung (Cha Do Ha). She got on my nerves. I didn't like her attitude. Months later after I placed this drama on hold I found the drama called Bad guys, which Park Hae Jin (Kim Seol Woo) is also a main character in. Looking back I realized that I missed and wanted to know the ending of Man to Man. I held through and mad it to the end
Park Hae Jin's facial expression and his interaction with Park Sung Woong (Yeo Woon Gwang) through the drama are hilarious.
I love the action, but I have no love for the romance. I honestly preferred the female from the first episode.

A very action pact movie.

It was a very straight forward movie that contained an issue then a solution compared to what I'm used to. You don't see (or at least I don't have any knowledge) of crisis movies on planes. I have only probably seen 2 movies that involve this type of action in the middle of a fight.
The actors all did a very good job! It was very inspiring and a miracle that they all came out alright. For this to have actually happen makes me glad that there are that many procedures and protocols that are done before the flight is even loaded with passengers.

If you want to watch the story of Love O2O in 2 hours watch this.

If you can spare the time watch the drama it's worth it!!

This is basically Love O2O (drama) all mashed into a movie. When you watch a drama and fall in love with the actors and their way of acting it's a little hard to get used to others that try to remake the same exact story.

The one main difference that I notices was that in this movie there are a lot more physical fighting that was not shown in the original drama.

For the movie they seem to also get ride of the character named Zhen Shao Xiang who was also Zhen Shui Wuxiang they instead gave Zhen Shui Wuxiang to Cao Guang, which definitly gave a little change to the story line.

Coming to watch this after watching the drama my expectations were a bit high and they were not met. The drama is by far my favorite out of these two versions.

I don't really understand why some people don't like this drama. In my opinion it wasn't that bad. The only issues that I had was that I didn't really have any love for Oh Dae Oh. At the end when he left he should have just stayed gone. He hurt Noh Ae Jung and Noh Ha Ni twice already be showing up and causing emotional turmoil for both of them and leaving again once they were both hopeful of having a complete family.

In my honest opinion I would have hoped that Noh Ae Jung would've ended up with one of the other 3 guys but the ending was smooth with each of them finding someone in their life other then Noh Ae Jung.

When I first saw the very end with the wedding I though it was going to be Noh Ae Jung's wedding with Oh Dae Oh because he showed up again, but I loved that it was Noh Ha Ni and Goo Dung Chan.

The mystery, anticipation and the unknown is what drives the continuation of the drama. It pulls you in to find out what really happened in the past that connects the three main characters. The people around them all have some sort of connections. Some remember others are left wondering what their life was like.

When I first started I thought the drama was going to be cheesy and boring, but as you get to see their past life it pulls you in, with wanting to know the whole story.

It’s a very sad ending for what happened in the past, but they all had to go somehow for them to all end up in the present together.

At first I wanted Ryu Soo Hyun and Shin Yool together. They both seemed to fit better , but underneath it all it was Seo Hwi Young that had strong emotions for her, but chose not to express them in front of everyone.

For Han Se Joo I did not like his haircut. It was way too short. I liked his hair when he was playing Seo Hwi Young.

My first reaction to Baek Tae Min was that he was an abuser. It became very clear of what type of person he was when he threw his cat. I myself am a cat lover so I almost stopped watching the show because of him. I am glad that I stayed with it though.

The only spoilers are about the parings in this drama.
WOW!!!!
I have a total love hate relationship with this drama. I love the plot, story line and the actors, but I have a hatred for most of the female characters in this drama. Some people may not agree with me, but the main actress Go Ah Ra seems to get on my nerves every drama I see her in. Her attitude towards everyone just irks me.
The female royals also are annoying. The discrimination is very strongly shown in this drama. I have not seen any drama that has this strong representation of discrimination out in the world.
Even if there are some actors/characters that I do not like I really loved this drama. Stayed up till 3 am just to know what happened next.
The male actors did a very good job with their friendship and comradely. I just finished Moon Lovers before watching this, I think that IU would have been a good female lead.
I honestly did not see the pairing at the end. I thought she was going to end up with the king, not her brother's friend. I thought he was going to end up with the princess.

This honesty has to be the best Japanese Drama that I have seen so far. Even behind is 'Devil" façade you can still see that he cares for her.
She defiantly has the dedication to continue to go after him even after all the rude things he calls her, but it also helps her grow (not that I'm condemning his words to her and putting her down so many times emotionally.)
I love how short and sweet it was. With the amount of 10 episodes it was able to explain the obstacles she had to get through but not too in-depth that there's any hatred for the supporting characters.

Many people that have given a review for this drama have said that there are a lot of flashbacks, that they take up most of the time. That is very true, but I think they are essential. They give the audience a true meaning of what the character is feeling in those moments. I'm not denning that they were sometimes boring because we've already seen that part so many times, and to be honest I have skipped around when they come up. The flashbacks help set the emotions for the character so your not just staring at them sit with emotions running through their face.
William Chan (Shi Yue) and Bai Bai He (Nan Qiao) have great chemistry together. I love how their relationship grows even through malicious beginnings. The pain and torture the two go through because of how much they love each other pulls at you. He's willing to sacrifice his love to make sure that she is safe.
An Ning is a very controlling and manipulative person. What she does to Shi Yue makes me feel his pain even more. She sees how he acks with her but still try's to have him by her side even if that is not what he wants.
