At first I watched this drama for Wallace Huo and Tang Yan, but I ended up loving all of the main characters. This drama was my first wuxia, so I didn't know what I had to expect.Story: The story is about Jing Tian, who is destined to rescue the world. Together with a noisy girl named Xue Jian (yes, in my opinion she is very noisy), the priest Chanqing, the mysterious girl Long Kui (If you read the synopsis on dramawiki.com, then you will know who she is, if you can't wait) and his companion MaoMao he searches for the solution to rescue the world. During the journey they are learning about their past lives and become friends. They have to fight against many enemys to get what they need and sometimes the solution has to do with one of themselves.
Acting: Hu Ge is a excellent Actor, I knew it, before I began this drama. Honestly, I like his character (Jing Tian). He reminds me of Naruto Uzumaki. Jing Tian is is full of joy, he talks very much and he is proud to be named as the hero. Hu Ge plays the role very well, but I hope I can watch him as a serious character next time.
This drama is my 3rd with Wallace Huo. I watched him in two dramas in two different periods, so it was my first ancient. (The other two were set in the II.WW and in the modern era). I think he is excellent when he plays serious roles, but I want to see him in a lesser serious role. His role is a priest who learns about his two past lives because he can't remember them.
Yang Mi acts as the noisy Xuie Jian. She was a character I didn't liked at first, but after...15 Episodes she wasn't very annoyoing anymore. I don't know any of her other dramas. Although she did a very great job, I think she was the least convincing castmember.
Liu Shi Shi (Long Kui) was good, but her character was so mysterious that she was so suspect. I think she LSS did a great job, although the last drama I watched with her, I didn't watched til the end.
Last but not least Tang Yan, who plays Zi Xuan a woman who plays a 200 year old who is also mysterious (and idiotic v.v). She gets on my nerves. Tang Yan plays her very well, but her character was so ... I can't get over one of the scenes v.v I don't know why, you have to watch it for yourself, but please, have a big staying power.
The supporting Characters were okay, but not special.
Music: I love the music. My favourite Songs are Pian Ai by Chang Yun Jing and the ending Song by Hu Ge. Pian Ai is played in special moments and most of the time it suits them.
Rewatch Value: I think I won't watch it again in the near future. The reason isn't that I don't like the drama, it is a situation in the drama I want to forget.
...
*Spoiler*

I can't get over the ending v.v Now I know what other watchers meant when they said Wuxia and HE are not very common v.v

Legendary Witch was one of the Dramas I didn't want to watch because I didn't like the Plot at first. My reason to change my mind was because of the positive feedback from other viewers.
Story:
Like written before, I didn't like the plot at first, but when I watched this Drama I realized that the story is about more than the four women and the Ma Family. The story gets exciting with every Episode and some of the Cliffhengers are exciting, too.
Actors/Cast:
Most of the Actors I didn't know before. I liked Ha SeokJin before and I know Han JiHye for a while now. Both of them are very good actors. HSJ played the role of a widower who loves to bake very well. I think the role suits him. His acting is wonderful. In some Scenes I wanted to cry because his acting was very realistic. HJH acts very well, too. Sometimes I was annoyed by her character which she played. How could be a woman so naive??? But with every Episode I realized the development of her Role. The other 3 (or 4 when Kim SooMi count, too) acts very well, too. What I liked very much were the different characters. The woman who wants to find out, why his husband and son died. The Woman who is naive at first but develop a powerful character. The Woman who can talk very much and the mother of a son, who she loves the most. The three younger Woman sees the older Woman (plaeyd by Go DooShim) as their mother ans themself as sisters. Then their is the woman who is played by Kim SooMi. At first I didn't like her, but after a few Episode I thought that she is very funny :). The father-in-Law of HSJ is nice. He acts very well and shows his interest in his 'Love' openly. The Members of the 'Ma Family' playes very well, too. Most of them I didn't like but Joohee was nice...sometimes. Dohyun was my favourite in his family^^. DooJin and Driver Tak were well, too.
Music:
My favourite Song was by Gunji of Gavy NJ. This Song and another Song was played often and I think that both of them suits the plot and story.
Rewatch Value:
Normally, I would say 'yes, of course', but because of the many Episodes I give 9 out of 10. That means, that I would watch it again but it is not so important like other Dramas (Althogh I want to watch Ha SeokJin again *-*)
Because of the 40 Episodes and some other minor things I give this Drama 9.5 out of 10^^. But I would like to recommend :)

Story: The Story is about two people who fall in Love, break up and meet again after a few years, when they are a little older. The story begins promising but in my opinion Ha Myunghees dramas doesn‘t have to be more than 16 (32) Episodes. The Script doesn‘t suit the episode count. Honestly, the beginning was promising and I liked the storyline, because there were to people who fall in Love, break up and meet again after a few years. But...there are (other than the break up) not many conflicts… I mean where are the parents, who I want to hate? Where are the enemies?
Sadly I have to say, that you don‘t need to watch this drama for the story (But you could like it, if you liked Doctors). I watched this drama after a the first half only because of the Actors.
Actors: That brings me to the people who did their best...and they did it amazing. I wouldn‘t rate this drama with 9.5 if it wasn‘t for the Actors. Yes, the Story was...loooong and fast told, but the Actors did amazing jobs.
First of all Seo Hyunjin. ToL was my first drama with her in the first lead role. I was excited, because I heart very good tings about her acting after she acted in „Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim“ and „Another Oh Hayoung“. SHJ played a woman at the end of her twentys (later in her 30s) who works very hard as an assistant writer who really tries to win a contest. Because of her Job she fights with her younger sister, with whom she lives under a roof. Hyunjin did a very good job. Her character Lee Hyunsoo is tough, has energy, but hasn‘t much interest in Love. In my Opinion Hyunjin is a very good Actress and now I will watch her other dramas too. She was one of the reasons, why I rated this drama so high.
The Second (or first) reason is Yang Sejong. Yes I was sceptical when I heart, that he would play the first male Lead Role. Why? Because I saw his Acting in Duel and it was so amazing, that I thought he can‘t top it. Okay, honestly I can‘t compare his roles whith one another. But he did it. He was amazing, even though it was his first Lead role in a romantic drama. Sejong plays On Jungsun a young chef in his twentys who grew up in Francem where he was interesten in the french cuisine. At the beginning of the drama he works as a chef in a restaurant, where his boss is a ‚friend‘ of him. Jungsun doesn‘t have any experiences in Love but he learns very fast what it means to love another person woth all he have. Sejong really is an amzing actor and he wirks very hard. I hope his talent will be recognized, because I am very sad, that his dramas have low ratings…
The Second Male Lead was played by Kim Jaewook. I like his Acting very much because of „Who are you“ where he played a Ghost. Jaewook did an amazing job, but his role was… I think it was a very complacted role. He played Park Jungwoo, a successfull CEO of his own Company who is interested in Hyunsoo and in Jungsun because of his cooking. So he becomes hin investor and one of the most important people of Jungsun (and Hyunsoo, too). Without knowing that his two friedns have known each other for years he loves Hyunsoo since he knows her. He loves Jungsun, too, like a brother, but not enough to give up his love of his Life. Jaewooks acting impressed me very much. But his character wasn‘t mean enough. If it weren‘t for Sejong, I would have rooted for Jungwoo, because he was so...tragical.
Jo Boah played the best friend of Hyunsoo who is rich but jealous when others are recognized and she doesn‘t. Boah played her role well, even though I think she seems to be younger that she really is. The opposite from Sejong who could be older than he really is. Boah role was Ji Hong ah who is in love with Jungsun, but sometimes I thought she only thought she loves him because Hyunsoo live him, too. I hope you know, what I mean.
The people around Jungsun (Shim Heesub, Cha Inha, Lee Kangmin, Block Bs P.O and Chae Soojung acted very well, too. Ji Iljoo who plays the junior of Kim Jaewooks character and Lee Chohee who plays the other best friend of Hyunsoo were very cute when they were together.
The Chemistry between the Actors were very good, even though the first two episodes were a little bit awkward. I hope Sejong and Hyun will be play a couple again but with a better script, ecause they are very good Actors and it would be nice to see them again. Maybe in a really sad melodrama^^.
Music: The Music was amazing. I love the OST. The whole OST.
All in all I want to say that you don‘t need to watch it, if you don‘t care for the Actors. But If you love the Actory you should try it, because the Acting and music rescues the whole Drama...

First of all, I didn't plan to watch the drama, because I am not a fan of Jang Nara (and before I watched this I wasn't a fan from Seo In Guk either). After I watched the first Episode I dropped it, but then I read a lot positive things about the drama and about Park Bogum. So I decided to watch it at this weekend. And I don''t regret it!Story: The Story sounds good, but it wasn't the main reason I decided to watch it. Usually, I don't like criminal Dramas. The story have to be very good and interesting so I watch them. But how I said, the story wasn't my main reason for watching this drama.
Acting: Hm, with who should I start? I think I begin with the Actor who surprised me a lot. Seo In Guk. I watched him in Reply 1997, but I wasn't a fan of his acting skills. So after Reply 1997 I didn't watch dramas in which he acted. But he suprised me in the role of 'Lee Hyun' who searches for his long lost brother and a killer. I know SIG as a singer and I like his voice, but in this drama, it were the emotions and his acting with his eyes, which made me to a fan of him. Jang Nara was okay. I didn't expect too much because I don't like her very much. I don't know why, but I watched her in School 2013 and there I didn't like her, too. So her Acting was okay.
My lovely Park Bogum (I am in love with him since his Acting in this drama) was excellent. I don't know why I love his character (I shouldn't like him, I know...). But his acting is so...real. I didn't have high expectations, because I didn't know him very well before this drama. So it was Love at first sight and I am so excited too see him in Reply 1988.
Choi Wonyoung surprised me a lot. I saw him in 'The Heirs' and 'Kill me, heal me', but in a role like this, I didn't see him before. His acting was wonderful and sometimes I was afraid of him.
Fazit of the Actors: Seo In Guk was a big Surprise, Jang Nara was okay, Park Bogum was excellent and Choi Wonyoung was wonderful in his role.
Music: The Music was good, but not excellent. Sometimes I wanted to cry because of the Music, but all in all it was okay. It suits the theme and most of the time the music suited the scenes.
Rewatch Value: I will watch it Again, when I have more time and when *SPOILER* I get over the ending *SPOILER ENDING*

Story:
The Plot sounds very interesting. A man who meets his Ex-Girlfriends again, when a company watns to make a movie. The Plot seems to be funny and I was happy whenever the subs came out. Writer Bang mets four different women again and the the twist begin. At first I didn't understand why he make his Ex-Girlfriends in animals, but after a few episodes I realized, why he did it. After tvN announced the cutting I was shocked and asked myself how they would end it.
Acting/Cast:
As I said before I am a huge fan of Song Jihyo since I saw her in Goong aka Princess Hours. In my opinion she played the role of Soojin, a woman who fights for her dreams, very well. The other Actors I didn't know well before I watched them in this Drama. But all of them act very well and did a good job. Byun Yohan played Bang Myungsoo (the webtoon Writer) who was in the middle of his Ex-Girfriends and in the middle of a chaos. The 3 Ex-Grifriends did a good job, too. Especially I liked Ryu Hwayoung who played the Maknae. I didn't know that she could act very well. Do Sangwoo (who played the Director) played a very different role from his previous Role in The Legendary Witches. But I rhink he also did a good Job.
Music:
I like the Music very much. The Music in the beginning of every episode shows the funny plot. So I think it suits the Drama very well.
This Drama is one of these I would watch more than one times. One negative pisont I have to say is the cutting from 16 to 12 Episodes. I think the mistake is that the Drama was cut short because of the viewer ratings v.v. But at the end they ended it to fast v.v. So it was a bit confusing. I am sad, that the Drama has ended because I liked all of it.

Story:
I like medical Dramas, but after dropping Medical Top Team I wasn't sure, if I would like this Drama. I think the storyline is nice. The Drama is set in a Hospital and the mainactors and actresses are doctors and nurses. The Drama focuses on Obstetrics and Gynecology. The dialogues are not easy to unterstand even with subtitles, but with the help of the Internet I could unterstand. I liked the relationship between Song Joongki and Go Joowon and between Song Joongki and Lee Youngeun. For Goo Joowon and Jang Seohee was my feeling different. I hoped that they wouldn't end up together till the end. I think there was no chemistry between the two of them.
Acting/Cast:
I liked Doctor Lee (GJW), Doctor Ahn (SJK), Doctor Wang (Seo Jisuk), the Head Nurse and Nurse Yeongmi very much. But I had a big problem with the female main Lead. Doctor Seo (played by Jang Seohee) was a main character I don't like. In most of the episodes I asked myself why she is so popular with the Males. But I didn't find an answer. In my opinion she overreacted in most of the situations, got angry at the residents (most of the time at Doctor Ahn) for a reason which I didn't understand. Goo Joowon anf Song Joongki played their characters very well and I think both of them are excellent Actors. For Seo Jisuk who played the longtime friend of Doctor Seo: I loved his character in this drama. He played Doctor Wang very well. The Head nurse and Nurse Yeongmi were two characters who were played very well, too.
Music:
The music was nice but not outstanding.
In conclusion I would watch it one more time because of the three Male leads and because of Yeongmi.

Story: Like I said, I didn't like the story at first, but after I watched a few episodes the story got better and better. In my opiniont the story grows more and more from episode to episode until the end. Honestly I liked the 2nd half more than the first half.
Acting: I watched the drama because of Hwang Jungeum and Park Seojoon. Both of them are very good actors. Their chemistry as siblings in 'Kill me, Heal me' was excellent. So I began watching this drama and was excited to see their chemistry as Ex-Classmates. HJE is an ecxellent actress. I learned to know her, when I watched 'Secret'. She is so emotional that I can't name many other actresses like her. Her role was at the beginning (for me) a little annoying. Sometimes I thought "How dumb can she be?". But I liked how her role grows in the drama, so in the end I like Kim Hyejin.
PSJ played Seongjun and I liked him. My first drama wirh him (Which I have finished) was 'Kill me, Heal me' and if Ji Sung hadn't played his role so perfect I had loved him even more (Maybe a second Lead crush^^). But now he was the first Lead and I think it was a better role than in KMHM for him.
Go Junhee acted really well, but her role was annoying. I didn't like her and every time I saw her, I was like 'Oh no, why is she so bad?' And Choi Siwon was good, too. Normally, I don't like many Idols who act, but some of the can act. In my opinion Siwon is an Idol who can act better than he can sing. His role was funny and I think, that he could play a funny and crazy role better than a serious person. The best was "Jackson"^^. I laughed really often. Then ther were two other actors whom I liked. Park Yoohwan and Shin Hyesun. Both of them were so cute.
Music: The music suits the theme of the drama and I like it. The song from Siwon was the best, I think. But the drama as other amazing OST.
If I have time in the future and no other dramas to watch (But I doubt it) I would watch this drama again.

Story: I like dramatic stories and dramas with the 'Revenge" Theme are most of the time dramatic. The Story was very good. It was very exciting and didn't become boring. At the end of every Episode I thought "Now I have to know what will happen next".
Acting/Cast:
Song JoongKi is one of my favourite Actors but this Drama was my first with him. Because of this Dramas I like him very much and watch all Dramas in which he starred. In my opinion he acts perfectly. The role of the Man who wants to take Revenge on a woman suits him the best. I know that some people doesn't like him because of his 'Babyface', but I think this role is perfect for him. Moon ChaeWon is a very good actress and she plays her role very good. But I think also, that her acting gets better with every episode. Lee Kwangsoo plays very good, too and I liked his role very much. The rest of the cast was good, too.
Music:
The music suits the Drama very much, because it is dramatical. Especially the Music at the end of the episodes is very nice.
Rewatch Value:
I watched this Drama two times, but I knw that I will watch it again.
This Drama is one of the Dramas I liked very much. It is perfect, so I give it 10 out of 10.

Story: The story ist very good. I like dramas and movies with a historical background. This drama is about a family in Changsha, an important city when it comes to the 2nd World War in China. The family consists of the twins Xiang Xiang and Xiaoman, their older sister and her husband with their son, the grandmother, the parents and two cousins. The drama tells about the twins and their lives during the war against the Japanese between 1937 and 1945. Both of them are more troublemakers than everything else and their brother-in-law Junshan wants to marry of Xiang Xiang most likely to the serious and cold soldier Gu Qingming. There are a few funny scenes in the drama, most of the time when Qingming and Junshan are together. I like their bromance *-*.
Cast: This drama is my second one woth Wallace Huo. But I didn't watched it only because of him. I am a fan of him, but he wasn't the one who made me speechless. I know he is a good actor (even though there are many people who think otherwise), so I concentrated me of the other Actors and Actresses.
But I will begin with Wallace. His character Gu Qingming is known as officer Gu, who isn't allowed to go to the battlefield. But Qingming is a soldier who wants to protect his fellow people. So he is waiting for a chance to help the soldiers who are fighting against the japanese. Wallace Huo plays his role excellent. I love how his character changed within the progress of the drama.
Yang Zi, who plays XiangXiang, is 13 years younger than Wallace, but this isn't a bad thing. It was my first drama with her and I think she did a very good job. Her character grows with the years which are passing by. At the beginning XX is a childish girl, who likes to make trouble. So she drives her brother-in-law crazy. But after she realizes her love for GM, she is more serious.
Jungshan (played by Ren Cheng Wei) is an officer who is serious and married the older sister of the twins. RCW played his role authentic. I think he did a very very good job. At first I didn't like his character, but after more episodes I hoped that he will be happy. The chemistry with Zuo Xiao Qing was very very good. I could talk about all the other characters, but I have to finsh my review^^.
The supporting Characters (and Actors/Actresses) played very well, too. All in all the cast was amazing and all of them did make a very good job.
Music: The Title Song "I remember you" by Wallace Huo and Yang Zi is a sad ballad, which suits the drama very well. I wished there was a live version because both of them are good singers.
Rewatch value: It's a 9 out of 10 because it have 32 episodes and my 'plan to watch'-list is so long that I don't have time, otherwise there would be a 10^^.
If you like melodramas and if you aren't scared if you have to cry then I would recommend this drama to you. I think it is the time worth *-*

I planned to see SWWTN even before he was confirmed as the male lead. But when I read that he would play the role of Kim Sungyeol I was happy because I missed him in a drama.
The Story sounds interesting (I didn't read the manhwa) so I was excited for the beginning of July when the drama started. Normally I don't like dramas with Vampires but I thought that it would be different, if it is set in the Joseon period. So I started the drama from beginning when it was aired. The Beginning of the drama was very interesting, but some scenes was a bit...not boring for me, but not so, that I would give it a 10.
The Cast was very good. Lee Joonki plays his role as a Vampire scholar very autenthic and even though I wasn't a fan of him after this drama I would be one. Before this drama I thought already that he is the best when it comes to historical dramas, even though I would love to see him in a drama like 'Two Weeks' again. When I heart that Lee Yoobi would play the female Lead I was sceptical. I watched Pinocchio and there I found her very annoying. But I think she did very well and the Chemistry was very good. Kim Soeun is a very talented actress, but her role was a little bit confusing. Changmin surprised me with his role as the crown Prince. He acted very well compared to his drama 'Paradise Ranch'. Jang Heejin and Choi Taehwan did their rifht thing and were well, too.
But what I like the most of this drama is the Music. I love the OST. All of them. In my opinion it is the best OST in a drama this year.
All in all I would recommend the drama and I will watch it again, if my 'plan to watch'-List is smaller^^.

‚While you were Sleeping‘ was my 5th drama written by Park Hyeryun. The only drama I didn‘t like was Dream High. the other dramas I watched were very good. Even though I was very excited to watch the drama I was sceptical, too, because of Suzy. I watched her in Dream High and she was...bad. And I watched her in Uncontrollably Fond and she was...definitly not good. But I love Lee Jongsuk, Lee Sangyeob and Jung Haein and the story sounded very interesting, so I decided to watch the drama during the airtime.Story: Like I said before, I was excited because the story sounded very interesting and it didn‘t disappoint me. A young woman dreams about real incidents, who happens after she dreamed about them. It sounded different from most of the other fantasy dramas I watched until now. The story was ecxiting and honestly there were many surprises.
Cast: The Cast was very good, even though Suzy was a little bit off. Especially I want to name two Actors who surprised me the most. But I want to begin with the two Main Actors.
Bae Suzy. To be honest, I think that she should just stay singing, because unfortunately she is not one of the idols who can act as well. I was very skeptical about her role, but she was improving. In the first episodes I found her really bad. It was somehow ... stiff in my opinion. But after a few episodes, I realized that she has improved in comparison to her last drama. She will never be one of my favorites, but if she keeps practicing, she may at least be bearable. But I still do not like one thing about her. If she cries, that looks kind of artificial. Maybe that's up to me, but I do not think every actor can cry well and sadly, Suzy is one of them.
The male protagonist Jung Jaechan was played by Lee Jongsuk. As I said, I'm a big fan of him since I saw him in School 2013, I love him and his way of acting. I must also honestly say that he not only plays the role of the rather childish and naive public prosecutor very well, but he is also pretty good at the role. It's one of the main reasons why I just could not drop this drama, even though I often have a problem with it if I do not like the chemistry of the main couple.
By far the most surprising actor was none other than Jung Haein, who really surprised me a lot. He's a really excellent actor, and I was convinced of that when I saw him in 'Blood', which I stopped for some reason. I hope he gets the first lead role soon. His role was very nice and sometimes I wished he would end up with the female lead, but then I thought the way it was was the best. The Second Actor who was very surprising was Shin Jaeha. I watched him in Page Turner and didn‘t liked his role but his acting. In this drama he played the younger brother of Jung Jaechan who has a crush on a girl who is one of the guest stars in the first few episodes. Like Haein Jaehe is a very prominsing Actor.
I liked the Acting of Lee Sangyeob, too, but his role was...>.< Argh could he get another role like in Innocent Man, please? I can‘t talk more about him and his role because I am afraid I would write any spoilers, but his actoong was amazing. Most of the other Actors were okay.
Music: The OST is very nice, but honestly...Lee Jongsuk doesn‘t need to sing...I am finee with him when he only acts…

Story:
I liked the story, because it was different from other school dramas. Cheerleading isn't something I am a big fan of, but I thought a drama with this theme could be funny. And it was^^.
Acting/Cast:
Like I said above I was very happy when I heard that Eunji would play the female lead role. I am ot a big fan of Girlgroups, but I like Eunji because she can act. So I wasn't mad or something, when she was confirmed. She played the role as 'Kang Yeondo' very well. The role suits her very much. I liked her in 'Cheer up' more than in 'Reply 1997', but I don't know exactly why.
Lee Wongeun is one of my favourite Actors. I liked him in 'HJ&M' because of his bright character. When I found out, that he is the same age like me, I was shocked. I mean, he doesn't look like 24. His character was special for me. A young high school boy who is a top student but has problems with his family and his past. Every time he smiled, I was like 'He is so cute' (too cute for a man in his twenties v.v).
Next is Ji Soo. I didn't watched 'Angry Mom', but I heard very good reactions in relation to his acting. He played the best friend of Kim Yeol (LWG) and I could see that the two actors are very close. The chemistry was perfect. They remembered me of Lee Jongsuk and Kim Woobin in School 2013. Their bromance was not too much, but they showed us how much they liked each other as best friends. Ji Soo played the role of Hajoon, a boy who is dark, quiet and cold on the outside (Kim Yeol is an exception.). But on the inside he is a very warm person who has a secret which knows Kim Yeol but nobody else.
Chao Soobin played the Top Student Kwon Sooah, who seems to be the best friend of Kang Yeondoo. Honestly, Sooah got on my nerves after a few Episodes. I hated her, but at the same time I thought that sie is an victim of her family. But Soobin played the role very well, so I think it was good for her to play a role like this after her role in "House of Bluebird".
Like I said before I was very sceptical when I heard that N of Vixx would play a role in this drama. Normally, I am very unsure if Idols can do well. I am not a fan of them when they are beginning acting, but some of them surprised me. N is not an perfect actor. He was awkward, but maybe it was his role. He played the best friend of Yeondoo and was...very akwward. However, I think he did a good job.
The teachers (played bei Kim Jisuk and Lee Mido) acted very well, too and the chemistry with the younger Actors and Actresses was very good, too.
Music:
My favourite Song is 'Shooting Star' by Hanbyul. I think this song suits the drama the best. Everytime I heard it, I thought of Yeondo and Yeol.
All in all I can say that the drama is one of my favourites this year. I can't understand why the rating are so low, but I think it is because of the other two dramas which have a very big cast. Later on, I will watch this drama again.
But I have one critical point. I think this drama is too short. In the end they rushed it a little bit, so I think they should have made 16 episodes. So this drama gets 9.5 out of 10.

This drama has it all. Tension, Action, Emotions and also silent moments. It is like Circle but also very different. For those who want romance I have to disappoint you, because this drama focuses on friendship and relationships between family Members.
The Story is about a father who searches for his daughter who was kidnapped. With the hope of finding his daughter he teams up with a mysterious young man who he believes knows where the child is. The two of them teams up to rescue the child, but after a few episodes you will know, there is more than that. When I watched the first Episodes I asked myself if there will be more conflicts or if the main theme will be the search for the daughter. I can say the wait was it worth because the Father-Daughter Story is important but there is mysterious Case who is very important, too. Maybe more important.
Cast: The first I want to say is, that this drama was amazing because of Yang Sejong. His Acting Skills are like he is in the industry since years ago. But he is a rookie. I didn't watched his debut drama „Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim“, yet but it is on my 'to watch' List. He played not one or two roles, but three roles. They were all very different and he acted like a Pro. In my opinion he is an amazing Actor. I like many Actors but Yang Sejong is talented as hell. He is one of the best young Actors I have ever seen. In this drama he shows us his skills every single time he appears. Without saying much of the Story I can say that he acts like a pro when he plays more than one roles (plus all of his characters are very different from each other).
Duel was my first Drama (or movie) with Jung Jaeyoung so I don't know how he acted in other projects. His Acting here was good. I liked his relationship with his drama daughter and his interaction with Sejongs character (or should I say one of his characters?). He has a lot of emotional scenes but I is a veteran Actor, even though he has more experiences with Movies than dramas. His emotional scenes were very movie so I liked his acting a lot.
Seo Eunsoo was okay. Not amazing but I liked her even though I think her role wasn't a must. The drama would be good without her role, too.
The Actress I was disappointed in was Kim Jungeun. I know she is a very good veteran Actress but I think her Acting here was disappointing. Maybe it was her role, but she could have done better. Most of the time I hated her.
Honourable mentions go to Choi Woong, Kim Kidoo, Lee Chulmin and little girl Lee Nayoon. They were good actors and I enjoyed their scenes a lot.
Music: The Music was good and suited the moments it was played very much. So I think it was good.
In Conclusion the Acting of Yang Sejong saved this dramas rating for me. I can only repeat myself. He was so amazing that I could watching this drama all day. But I haven't time. Luckily he has a new Drama *-*.

Yoon Shiyoon is one of my favourite Actors. I am impressed by his Acting skills since his discarge from the military. I think he is one of the Actors who are better than before the military duty. He played the intelligent but cold Han Sooho very well even though he played most of the time the younger twin. Han Sooho is a judge who has his scars, too even though he seems to have a very good life.
His younger Twin Brother is the full opposite. Han Kangho is tough. He isn't afraid of anything and he doesn't seem to care about is family because there is the "better" older brother. Honestly, I pitied him a bit at the beginning, but later I thought „You did right“, because he doens‘t give up when he learns more about life. Sometimes I thought YSH exagarrated too much as Kangho but I think it wasn‘t his fault. It was the character who sometimes was like a little child. Yoon Shiyoon proved again, that he is one of the best Actors out there.
Lee Yooyoung plays the female Lead, a university student who works some time under Han Sooho and has a painful past. It was my second drama with her after Tunnel and I think she acted better in this than in Tunnel. Maybe it was her character, but I felt her feelings. She delivered the feelings very authentic and it felt like she WAS Song Soeun. Her Acting was amazing for me and I think I will be patiently waiting for her next project.
The two second leads were not very known to me. I know Nara is an Idolgroup Member, so I didn‘t have very much expectations of her Acting. But she was okay. I think with more Supporting Roles she will be a very good Actress in a few Years. Her Character wasn‘t even a female Second Lead I hated.
Park Byungeun was an unknown Actor for me, so I was surprised he has a big filmography. His Acting was okay, but not amazing. I hated his character and I think the viewers should hate him. So I think he did a very good job.
The OST is amazing. I love all of the songs and I listen to the OST even now.
My plan to watch list is really long, but I am sure I will watch this drama again in the future.

Story: The Story sounded very promising. It has it all. Drama, tension, Melodrama and happiness. A drama which has it all can be top but it could be also a Flop. Misty was a top.
Acting: The best was the Acting, honestly. Although the story was amazing, too. Kim Namjoo is an amazing Actress. It was my first drama with KNJ, but I want to watch more with her. She has experience because of her age, but she doesn‘t look like almost 50 years old. She was amazing as a famous and arrogant News Anchor who is married to a Man who seems to love and also hate her. Her Arrogance doesn‘t fade away when the public suspects her of murder.
Ji Jinhee acts as her Husband who is a former Prosecuter but works now as a lawyer who doesn‘t make much money. He comes from a wealthy Family and loves his wife even though he seems to be very cold. He has a reason and I could understand him very well, even though I could feel with KMJs character. JJH was very good and in my opinion this role was his best so far.
Goo Yoon played a major supporting role and a Key figure in the whole story even though I asked myself long enough why he was so important…. His acting was very good and...he is really attractive^^.
Music: The Ost by Lee Seungchul was amazing. I put it to my favourite OST and I think it was the best thing to do so. It is dramatical but also sad. I think it suits the drama very well.
I recommend this drama to people who doesn‘t care about the age of the Actors/Actresses or about some secenes, because the first episodes show a little bit. In Europe it wouldN‘t be mentioned but in SK it was rated 19...
