The plot is not something really extravagant. It's simple,light and cute, but not that childish.
I love the songs in this drama.
Honestly, I cant think of anything I hate or dislike in this drama. I cant suggest anything that will make this drama better. Eventhough it can be finish in lesser episode, it's not dragging and still wish to watch it more.
I will surely miss drama.. This is such my daily dose of happy pill.. One of my fave drama to date.

The characters in the story can somehow resembles to most of us viewers. Our female lead represents successful woman of today. Our heroine is a woman who is rational, witty, successful and with self-confidence yet also have shortcomings especially when it comes to love. I like how Cheng You Qing was shown as strong woman who always rescue a friend in need yet maintain her rationale and clear judgment on situations, unlike other heroine who always shout, do whatever they want to do and irrational. While our male lead is a man that everyone wishes to wed. I like how LI Da Ren is characterize as a simple man who strive hard to his work, making viewers believe that perfect man doesnt have to be chaebol's heir or a rich man. I like how both of our leads are smart, values family and friends, and not perfect yet deserves admiration.
I really like the chemistry between Ariel Lin and Che Bo Lin. And I think they really fit and give justice to the characters.
I really love the signs of ageing in the beginning of each episodes and the charms of mature woman at the end. I can say that this drama is really "Intelligent". Intelligent in a way that it teaches a lot to viewers. Each conversation is very honest, straight and a lot to learn from it. Even the drama theater of Uncle Bai is aritstically done and lot to reflect with. I personally like the editing of the scenes especially their phone conversation, as if their talking face to face to each other. I really find many quotable quotes from the entire drama.
Many people find this drama as simple and boring. And honestly I also find it boring sometimes. I feel it will be better if it is less than or just 10 episodes. But I really like how the whole direction lead us to the predictable ending.Rather than roller coaster emotions, this drama gave viewers a comfortable feeling as if we are part of our leads' everyday life and love story.
This drama is not the best from all I'd watch but something really worth watching and I can proudly say a Really Good One. I think it will berank two from my Taiwanese drama I'd watch.

I loved how the writer gave a solid plot in the beginning making you realize that you already know the whole story, but it's not. Each episode is something you will look forward. Characters are being slowly and well introduced in each episode.Their backstories are well put up together that you will feel, sympathize and understand their actions, even it's good or bad. In each episode, secrets are being revealed and memories forgotten are slowly remembered. Even each case and crime stories aside from the main plot are well written.Mysteries in this show, like who is Min and Joon Yeong, can be easily guessed, however, the writer never failed to surprise viewers with different point of view and unexpected scenarios.
I loved all the actors. I intentionally watched it because of Seo In Guk. But as shows goes on, you will love all the characters even the extras (the victim and culprit) from each crime. I was also surprised how D.O. acted well here. I must admit the two villain here is the main recipe of the show.
If you love romance, I can say that this show had only few of that. Even the story involved a man and a woman, the relationship of characters of SIG and Jang Nara are more on trust and their importance to each other which slowly build throughout the show rather than cliche' romance thing. However, the lack of romance was compensated by its superb Bromance (Brotherly Relationship).
Hope to see both In Guk and Bo Gum again in another show.
In totality, this is the show you will surely remember. Highly recommended.

A beautiful romance that always find its way home in tragedy and sadness. Mr. Sunshine shows how far one can go to protect the thing you love, your country, your people, and the one you truly love. It depicts love that forgets its social status, work position and birth right, but every choice they made to pursue such love reminds them of all the things they tried to neglect.
Mr. Sunshine achieved its high caliber quality through its great cinematography, good story and right casting. I can never wished for more to its casting especially the five main leads. All those artist except Yoo Yeon Seok, are not familiar with me. I’ve seen Lee Byung Hun but never got a chance to watch his dramas, but because of Mr. Sunshine I will. I think his comeback on the small screen, really means that he really trusted this project. At first look, I really don’t find any chemistry with the main couple, or to any main leads. But after I watched it, I can never wished for anyone who will act for those main lead characters. The support characters are worth mentioning for they take the whole drama to next level. I really love Gunner Jang.
The drama runs on 24 episodes for 70-80 minutes long. It is longer compares to other drama. I think it can have less scenes to lessen the number of episodes but it will spoil the sincerity of each scenes. The background view, the stare, the silence, the flashbacks and every second of this drama is truly breathtaking.
One of the most tragic ending for all the characters but a happy ending for Joseon. As much as how heartbreaking main leads’ fate have been, it still such a great finale.
P.S. And I of Nuest, one of drama’s OST brought me here.. And I will be forever thankful for that. Every OST in this drama is such a good tracks.

38 Task Force is swindling in a professional level, that make this show interesting.. The issues being discussed in this show is on point and realistic.. The way how they make a con and make all things go as their plan is somehow unrealistic but possible. Maybe what this show trying to say is, all human being is somehow similar, has its own weaknesses and somehow fall in the same trap even your rich, educated or poor. It really has lot of twists that make this series predictable that the con will go well, but still you will like how it will be revealed in front of your eyes.
What I really like in this show is the whole squad itself especially the Baek Sung Il and Yang Jung Do tandem.. I never imagined Seo In Guk having a good bromance chemistry aside from Park Bo Gum in I Remember You but Ma Dong Seok and Seo in Guk Bromance is something worth rooting for. I really like how they trust each other and how Sung Il believe in a conman more than anyone else.
Romance is really lack in this show.. But I dont really mind it..
I really hope all the government official is like Sung Il, contented on what he have and doing his job well. This show is truly eye opener on issues about tax collection, evasion and bribes..

This drama special is heartwarming, on point and a total slice of life. It tackles about hope, dreams, talent and family. As I said before, I watched it because of the KSH and JS, but it turned out that I'm more dwell on the stories rather than the actors itself. I liked how the story kinda realistic, the way it tackles how one person loses hope and how most important people around us will discouraged us and at the same time put burden to us. I really like the inclusion of music in this drama and I'm quite surprised that I enjoyed it.
What I disliked in this drama is the part where Seo Jin Meok pray to God for bad thing and it happened. It's as if God granted wishes even if it's wrong. But anyways, that accident turned up to be a lesson to both of them. But I wish, they shouldnt just use God concept in that way or at least Jin Meok repent and have more faith to God after that incident.
But in totality, it was a good drama. I cried a lot and really enjoyed it.. Honestly I'm considering listening to classical music and watching some drama with same concept because of it.
