The story is recycled yet again but managed to put its own fresh spin on things. Things stay interesting and hilarious throughout so you will never get bored. I will say the last episode is kind of weak compared to the rest of the series but I when you think about it most romantic comedies end the same way but the ending was cute.
To me the best part of the show was the cast. To be honest I didnt like Lee Chung Ah's character in the beginning and I wasnt sure Id like the show because of her. However, her character grew on me and I really think she is a great actress. For the guys, you might think that all they provided for the show was thier hotness but seriously all the guys were able to show off thier acting skills. Even the newbies such as the guy that plays Bawool(my new fav actor) and I really enjoyed the supporting characters such as Eun Bi's high school friends (they were so funny/cute). I really really liked the entire cast because they meshed well together.
The OST was different and I think i'm going to put most of the songs on my ipod=)
I don't tend to rewatch romantic comedies just because the plot gets old but I will rewatch this for the cast and to laugh.
Overall this is hands down the best romantic comedy of 2011!

When it comes to the acting I have to say that everyone did a good job. I do have to say I didnt really like Kim Sun Ah's character all that much for some reason. Gong Yoo was amazing as always

Acting/Cast- Moon Goon Young was chilling as the evil cinderella. The second female lead is annoying but still likeable. I really felt sorry for her. The male lead is amazing. The supprting cast are all great actors.
Music- Very good songs that make he drama flow.
Rewatch- Id watch this two years from now.
Overall- The phenomenal acting will keep you watching till the end.

Story- Really different! The first half of eps dealt with different patients and kept the story fresh. Then the second half of eps dealt more with the main Dr.’s personal life in addition to another Dr who had a major arc that took up the rest of the show. There is romance whoever it is only briefly touched upon. I thought this part was its weakness because the main Dr. and the main female Dr. had such a good chemistry, so I was kind of disappointed with the way they wrote it. The last episode was so cute in one sense but also angsty and kind of opened ended in some respects.
Acting/Cast- The two actors that stood out were Shin Ha Kyun (Dr. Lee Kang Hoon) and Jung Jin Young (Dr. Kim Sang Chul). They really did a phenomenal job of portraying their complex characters. I do have to mention that Dr. Lee was so scary for about most of the drama. His character was just too intense and I’ll just say it…psychotic for my liking. I was hoping for better character development but it didn’t happen. I actually loved the side characters and wish we got to see more of them because I feel like this drama was too centered on Dr. Lee. Unfortunately Choi Jung Won (who was brilliant in Stars Falling from the Sky) didn’t contribute anything to the show. Her character to me felt like she was just there to be Dr. Lee’s rag doll. This is evident even in the last few minutes of the ending.
Music- I really like the score it added to the intensity of certain scenes. The songs for the OST were memorable but nothing I’d listen to outside of the show.
Rewatch- Although I don’t regret watching this at all, I just didn’t get any enjoyment out of watching. Therefore I can’t say Id rewatch this.
Overall Brain is very very interesting but I just wasn’t in love with it. I do recommend watching it though. Its my first medical drama I’ve been able to finish so that’s worth something=)

Story: Fast paced and unpredictable, revenged themed, with an angsty love-line thrown in. The ending is WTF!
Acting/Cast: This my first Lee Byung Hun led drama. Well what an introduction it was! Not only is he good looking but he is an amazing actor that was made for this role. He had such an amazing chemistry with Kim Tae Hee. Although I really like her, I think Kim So Yeon kind of stole the show. All of the rest of the lead and supporting actors were perfect. They really casted this one well! Just be prepared to see some characters come and go...
Music: Actually a really good mix that fit when the mood changed (romantic to action scenes).
Rewatch: I loved the entire cast and the plot was exciting so I definitely will watch this one again but not for a bit case the ending left a bitter taste.
Final Thoughts: I dare anyone who hasnt seen this to give it a try if they want an exciting 20 hour ride!

Not only did I love the main characters (cute chemistry) but I loved the supporting characters too (yay Park Ki Woong).
There really wasn't much to the story though. You just see how they meet and then how they spend their days counting down to their deaths. Its twisted but somehow the writers made their relationship and their activities seem so normal. It really is a very easy breezy watch. I feel like it was a bit too long that I started to get restless towards the end. I loved the ending, it was realistic but hopeful at the same time.

The story wasn't out of the ordinary but it still kept me interested till the end. I didn't think I'd like a drama about basketball cause i'm not in to sports but the writers did a great job of not making it the main focus.
I really liked the entire cast. Junpei was too cute in his role.
I really really liked the music. The theme song was catchy and the classical music was lovely.
I'd like to watch this drama again.
Overall this drama is a pleasure to watch because the cast is super.

Acting/Cast- Jang Nara is so cute. She has a small body and small voice. I thought the character fit her well. Daniel Choi did a great job playing the immature Jin Wook. Even till the end he had the childish quality. Even though I liked thier characters, somehow I didn\''\''t feel the romantic chemistry between them. The rest of the cast was great.
Music- Very nice OST to go with the feeling of the scenes. There will probably be some songs to go on my IPod=)
REwatch- This is a cute drama that can be watched again.
Overall- A good romantic comedy to watch at least once.

Acting- I love everyone in this except for MGY. She did not have the right chemistry with JGS. I thought he was amazing of course. The second male lead was HOTT and acted his role well.
Music- JGS need I say more??
REwatch- Id watch this over and over cause the cast is so good=)
Overall- Overlooking the average plot, this drama is amazing because of the The cast & music, which they carried this show to the end. I dont agree with a lot of ppl that say this is horrible. Its not!
