There was nothing in the genres, trailer or summary that could have prepared me for the amount of emotions that came with this movie. The storyline is probably not going to be what you expect it to (if you've only watched the trailer). You know those movies and dramas that leave a mark? The ones where years later you've kind of forgotten most of the storyline but you still cant forget about certain scenes or the over all feel it gave you? This is one of those.

Even though I felt that it was lacking in something on the surface, that I couldn't quite pinpoint, it still had a lot of depth and talent in pulling the viewers heartstrings. The three main actors all did an amazing job which made the story more believable and worth remembering. Over all, it has that dark atmosphere running through almost the entire movie and even though it's more slow paced than the trailer made it out to be, it is definitely worth your time and it will most likely leave you wanting to re-watch it later on (or at least with a craving to recommend it to everyone you know).

If you're looking for an action-filled drama of hide-and-seek with a murderer, then this is not the drama for you.

But if you're looking for a thought provoking drama where you can spend half the time guessing whom the murderer is, and the rest of the time studying the abilities of the human mind; then this is the one for you.

This drama is based on the question "Are monsters born or made?" and focuses on the psychologic part the story. Now before you back away (I know I usually back farfar away from movies that have a psychologic theme) this one is really worth the watch!

There were frustrating parts and questions that weren't fully answered. I also wish that there had been more shown about each characters background. I rated the rewatch value low only because of the fact that once you have watched it, you will already know how it will end and who the murderer is.

Over all, a very interesting and thought provoking story that pulls you in and allows you to ponder about one of life's greatest questions; "Are monsters born or made?"

Here's a better summary for you: After an accident, the soul of Lee Hyeong continuously possesses the bodies of a wide range of characters. What these characters have in common is that they're all struggling with love. Lee Hyeong attempts to mend said love while in search for his own identity.

This is a fairly slow-paced movie, and it may be a great choice if you're having a peaceful weekend and you which to watch something that doesn't require a lot of focus. It is an enjoyable movie which may leave you feeling pleased and happy for all or some of the side characters - I say side characters because this is a movie that doesn't follow just -one- storyline; it moves from one couple to another, all as Lee Hyeong moves on to other bodies. Because of this, it felt more like watching a bunch of shorter movies than one movie as a whole. That said, I felt like it lacked a bit of a main purpose.

Yet again, I would recommend to watch it, for one of those calm evenings when you just want something to relax to.

"Female leads in horror movies can't seem to fall in love. Strange, isn't it?"

Usually when a movie includes extremely pale children and tall women in desperate need of a haircut, it's the type of movie that will leave you hiding behind your pillow, but not this one! Or well, not this one for about 90% of the time. That 90% delivers your favorite K-drama theme; not so socially acceptable woman meets incredibly handsome man, and soon comedy and cute scenes are to follow.

The comedy relief is, well, an actual relief. Lee Min Ki and Son Ye-jin did an amazing job on portraying the main characters and some of the scenes were very funny. This is a movie for everyone, even for those who aren't quite found of scary movies (but do cover your eyes when there is obvious creepy music or dark scenes around the corner! You have been warned.)

I can't pinpoint what it is, but I feel as if something was missing in the storyline. But as a Lee Min Ki fan, I'm overall satisfied with this movie!

Um. Wow.
That is pretty much the only thing I can say after finishing this drama. This is a 'try to figure out who the culprit is' kind of drama and I can promise you (unless you're a genius) that you wont figure it out too easily or too early in the drama. That is one of the things that make this series so good and so worth watching; the suspense of not really knowing how it is going to end.

The music was good, the acting as well. I set the rewatch value low only because of the fact that once you have watched it, you will already know who the culprit is, which kills the suspense and joy of rewatching it.

Characters were interesting (though I feel as if they left one out, but my memory might be going bad). The ending leaves quite a few loose threads but is exciting enough to (somewhat) pull it off.

Overall, a must watch for those of you who enjoy crime/suspense/mystery shows that have you guessing for the cuprit.

When I first saw the picture for this movie and read the summary, I wasn't too interested; I thought that one had to like motorbikes and cars and fast chase scenes. Now this movie has alot of that, but it's not the only thing that it has to offer.

At first glance, it seems like your typical action movie but this one provides alot of comedy. The actors and main actress are all great and there are many scenes that will make you laugh. Even during the serious and dramatic scenes, there is always something to bring in the comedy.

Trust me on this one and give it a try!

Needless to say, this is a drama about bullying. It has all the ingredients to make your emotions overflow; an annoying female student who believes that she is the queen of the school, a crazy (and I mean CRAZY) male character to make you cringe and twitch at his every appearance, betrayal and friendship.

The drama did get a little draggy for my own taste, towards the end, but it does keep you intrigued to find out what will happen. The ending felt sudden but well scripted.

Over all, I would tell you to give this one a try, but be ready for a sudden urge to grab onto the princess'y hair of a certain annoying character!

A story about confidence and finding something you're passionate about, along with friendship and romance.

I find this to be a calm paced and somewhat cute movie. I havent read the manga or seen the anime so I cannot compare it in any way, but from what I've seen through this movie it seems like a sweet story.

Some parts, I didn't like as much, and I (for once) didn't like the main male character. Some of the things he did seemed rather off to me. The storyline could have dug a little deeper and the romance is not as much in focus as I had expected. Still there are some really good and touching scenes and in the end, I enjoyed the movie.

You know how most thrillers have plenty of dull scenes where the suspense stops and you get kinda bored? This one doesn't have that. The suspense is kept from beginning to end, which makes it close to impossible to stop halfways. The acting is great and believable, and the story isn't obvious at all; more like the opposite. It's one of those stories where guessing the ending is close to impossible!

The downside to this movie, in my opinion, is that it kinda has two stories going at once and they don't tie together in the end. It leaves alot of questions and you end up feeling that alot of things just weren't explained. The twist feels more random than anything else. Yet because of the suspense and the great acting, I would recommend others to watch this movie.

This story is very original. I haven't seen a concept like it before, so I'm giving the story itself some high points. From the comments I have read on other pages, it seems that many watched the show due to Sakurai Sho, but I can tell you (as I had not heard of him before) that it is definitely worth watching whether you are a fan of his or not.

The story becomes very repeatative after a few episodes, but the beginning and ending of each episode will keep you intrigued to keep on watching!

The acting, to me, got better and better throughout the story. I found it a little odd that such a quiz show would be aired (and have willing contestants at that!) but if you just go along with it all, the story behind the quiz show is what makes this drama worth your time. As the story begins to uncover the secrets of the main characters, you will become more and more hooked!

This drama left me feeling confused; it's one of those stories where the viewer pretty much has to guess what happened in the end. I know this because after finishing it, I tried to find an explanation, but it seems that each viewer interprets the story in their own way.

The story isn't bad at all though, it's actually quite suspenseful and will make you want to continue watching it in order to find out who stays and not. The characters are likeable and even though the acting is not the best, it's still alright.

I would recomend others to watch this drama, but I'd still put a slight warning on the confusing ending.
