The only thing that I am sure about that it is really extremely overrated.
PROS:
1-Some parts of the story are unique.
2-There's good thrilling parts in this drama which are the only things made me go on to the end of this drama
CONS:
1-Silly romance relation
2-Over fantasy comparing to known dramas like (The Master's Sun) it tends to be not convincing.
3-A little bit annoying to see many unimportant scenes
4-I see that this drama could be better if focused on fewer elements they tried to show some pro cooking scenes but they neglected the romance the only good thing I see is the thrilling part.
At last It's really annoying to see so many WOW dramas getting low rating and some other getting high like this one higher than "Autumn's Concerto" and equal to "Pinocchio"..really can't believe
Anyway, this doesn't tell that it is a bad drama it good but not as 8.8 rating.
Enjoy!

Means you probably will love it but won't be in the top list of course if your taste is like mine.
Pros:
1-Light comedy drama will make you not bred and quite excited
2-Perfect length means it's not long neither short and the time is perfectly enough for the events.
Cons:
1-Can't feel the romance at all.
2-the story is not fully completed means where is the start....couldn't make the connection between the past and the present maybe because it wasn't mentioned for enough.
I'd like to say that the pros are a lot but I say what I see unique and doesn't exist in most of Kdramas.
-----------------------
I hope this will help you decide.
Thanks for reading :-) .

First, I'd like to say that I am glad that there's new faces in Kdramas that are very promising.
Let's start reviewing this unique awesome drama
PROS:-
1-Actors and Actresses are all great.
2-The plot of the running man trying to save someone and fight evil is really unique here cuz it makes you feel how determined was the hero of this drama.
3-Although there's almost no cute scenes of hugs and kisses the romance here is different it's about how much you do for your lover.
CONS:-
1-Hero's ending was pitiful.
2-I think if there's more episodes it would be even more awesome.
This is a highly recommended drama not every day they broadcast a good drama like this.
Thanks for reading. :-)
Enjooooooy :-D

Not a bittersweet drama neither a tragedy.
Maybe one will say it's like Padam Padam but I think it's more deeper and touching.
Really this drama has a great lesson you can come up from it.
Anyway, let's start rating this drama as my usual way :-
PROS:
1-It has a very meaningful story.
2-The acting is superior and outstanding
3-Nothing is wasted in this drama like embedding fillers.
4-The romance element really is perfectly was embedded with the main story.
5-First time I cared about the story more than the romance elements.
CONS:
1-He dies
2-There's something haven't been clarified yet like his mother 'what happened with her'
I recommend you to watch it even if you are afraid of getting sad don't worry, he will be funny enough to cheer you ;)
Thanks for reading :D

PROS:
1-Emotional and heartwarming
2-Leads perfectly played their roles.
3-Happy Ending
CONS:
1-Too long
2-Became predictable last episodes.
At last most of Family dramas are very good and this one is really good loved the relations and sacrifices happened between the lovers and the family.
Although it is long but it is way better than watching other normal annoying dramas so it's not waste of time if you r planning anyway to watch dramas.
HOPE you enjoy it :-)

Honestly, this remake is not that good.
Always you'll feel like you are comparing this drama with the original "In Time With You".
Of course you cant compare anything to that masterpiece
PROS:-
1-The first few episodes are good.
2-Some different twists than the original story are also good.
CONS:-
1-The Scenario focused on how to prove that they are friends rather than how they love each other secretly so, I am not convinced that they should be together
2-I hated the "revealing all at once" thing, no secrets, no deep emotions.
3-It's really bad that they focused on how they want to copy the original drama rather than just copying the main concept.
Actually, no need to say if this drama is good or bad instead, I recommend for those who didn't watch "In time with you" to watch it directly because I think even if this drama was the original still not good enough.
Hope you enjoy :-)

PROS:
1-I liked how the web of relations interfered.
2-Also, the idea of mystery and non-action scenes drama is kinda a new thing for this kind of drama.
CONS:
1-The start is not good and do not make any addiction to the rest of the drama as well as the drama while it's progressing.
2-It feels like there's few actors maybe cuz most of their roles are insignificant enough.
If you compared this to "city hunter" it shows how "SPY" is not that good for some points:
1-"City Hunter" always keeps you interested in what is next whether it was the romance relation or the action and main subject.
2-All minutes in "City Hunter" are important and if it's not you will enjoy it anyway.
3-The end is realistic in "City Hunter" and can be accepted
If you want to enjoy and not to waste time don't watch it.

Alot of laugh with the sarcastic way of acting which makes you feel happy and force you to smile
Also it's different. Yes it's about food and relationships but the unique thing about it that this drama
employed the food to serve the rest of the genres.
If you want a drama that's different and hilarious with romance this is your best choice.
Go ahead it's great :D

I liked acting so much the sarcastic way has addicted me a lot although there's some weak points in the drama but overall you will like it.
I think it would be better to make it 20 eposides instead of 16 because that will make the romance takes its time to grow up between the leads. It feels there's some rush that the leads fell in love but still sweet and heartwarming.
I recommend it of course, GO AHEAD AND WATCH IT ;)
Anyway I think generally romance concentrated dramas are not good to be re-watched so I gave it 6.

There's a story but it's not well done because it focuses on action in a good way but suddenly a romance stuff get in between which is badly done ruins every thing.
Can't explain exactly why but this drama made me disconnected many times.
Action scenes are so good...it's sad that the scenario was bad.
If you watched IRIS and wanted something like it Athena is not comparable IRIS is way better.

As a melodrama, family and food genre of drama I can say this is one of the best drama I've ever seen. How the writer directed the scenario to the way that combines the elements of melodrama and family genres was fantastic. Every episode makes you hate the evil but at the same time gives you the hope that good exists. The main character was legendary, one of the best if not the best, gives you hope and noway you will hate it or just sympathize with it but, you will love it and be proud. Of course, I loved the professional way of the food genre. That makes me certain hoe the team work of the drama searched and learned about bread and food which is non common genre.
As a romance genre of drama it's really the worst because there's one character I think it's stupid and cant be understand-ed which is Shin Yu Kyung. She sold her savior Kim Tak Goo seeking revenge which is also not understandable. I admit she received hate and injustice but, even though, at the end she started to adapt with Goo Ma Jun. That's really weird and I really hated it. I think the writer wanted to show how The male lead Kim Tak Goo will respond to the different obstacles but, by this way he ruined the romance element. From my view I'd prefer to delete the character of Shin Yu Kyung as I think it's worse that the bad guys in drama.
I wont watch this drama again because Iam interested in romance genre as the main genre but this drama is romance frustrating.
Of course all of this is just my opinion.
Have a good watch if you decided to.

PROS:
1-Powerful twists.
2-Happy ending.
3-The comedy element is really good.
CONS:-
1-The scenario is kind of immature and silly.
2-You won't know what happened to the bad guys
3-Can't feel the chemistry between the leads.
4-Although there's swings in the story between the happiness and the sadness still were not enough for me.
5-Could've be less than 31 episodes.
It's good drama like average drama and I see the rating 7.6/10 reflects perfectly what it presents.
Advice don't make the highest priority to this drama especially it's 31 ep. but still not that good.
Hope that helps :-)

Well for who love Melodramas with sad ending this is on of the best.
PROS:
1-Focused on the romance without going into details like business or boxing or acting as they are the jobs of the main actors in the drama
2-The ending is very convenient to the story it can't be better.
3-Strong emotion and superior performance of actors and actresses.
CONS:
1-SAD
2-Sometimes the story is not clear.
In the end I have to say I never liked Shin Min Ah but she was really amazing of course as usual Rain is my favorite with his powerful performances all the time.
This drama I watched it because I wanted to feel the romance as it's been a while I watched such touching drama.
Thaanks for reading...hope you enjoooy. :-)

So many twists that keeps you wondering till the very end. A deep concept about criminals and if normal people can turn to be physco in special circumstances
I've never watched suspense drama like that before.
DEFINITELY WATCH IT :-)

A little bit repeated story but, still unique in its way
PROS:
1-Really sad Melodrama but ends in a happy way.
2-The relations between the leads are developed in a perfect speed not too fast neither too slow.
3-This drama can get you satisfied the ending couldn't be anymore better.
CONS:
1-I see that the final twist isn't good.
This is my favorite type of drama cause it's touching and the general pattern swings between passionate love, hate, pitiful characters and sacrifice. All of these characteristics can move your feeling really hard and that makes the drama interesting.
Finally, even if you are not a Melodrama type give it a try I see it's underrated.
Hope you enjoy it.
:)
