Story: It was quite good, every episode teach something about daily living, even if it was a "simple" story (excluding the superpower of the main acress). But the last episode wasn't what I expected, I think they could make another episode or simply make a different end; it was a very different end because they cut back some episodes... Maybe it's like an opened ending but not exactly. I recommend to see all the drama except the last episode.
Acting/cast: I think it was fine, the problem maybe was the story because it was simple. It was my first time seeing all the cast (I mean I've never seen their perfomance). Song Ha Yoon made a very good perfomance, I'll look forward more of her work. About Changjo, I think he can improve more, but the character suited him, so he made it fine.
Music: It wasn't bad, since the story was simple the music somehow suited it.
Rewatch Value: I would consider to see this drama again, maybe if I'm bored I will see it, or in the future for compare how much their perfomance improved.
Overall: I'll give a 6/10 because the story could be better than this, but I also enjoyed it. I'll look forward new works of actors and actresses who participed here.

Story: This drama had a kind of feeling that I had never seen in other drama. A woman whose life had been around a man who hadn't pay any attention to her has to look forward and start to do things she didn't do before, what she really wanted to do. She came through a lot of hard things, but she finally get enough strenght for being the woman she wanted to be, not a controlled one.
Acting/Cast: All the plot was impressive (except for Na Eun).
Choi Ji Woo was incredible, there're people who didn't like how did she act, but I think they maybe didn't like the character. I really put myself in her position and I understood how did she feel, so it'll be good if you feel how had she live.
Lee Sang Yoon was so good too, but I have to say that at beginning I hate a bit his character, the way he treated Choi Ji Woo's character was wrong, but he became so loveable when episodes kept passing.
Choi Won Young, as always, he didn't disappoint me. I really hated his character, specially in one episode I thought what Ji Woo's character did was the best she did in her character's life. But at the end I felt pity for him...
Park Hyo Joo's character... I didn't like her, even to the end of the drama I disliked her, she was sooooo egocentric (I don't know if this word might be the right one).
The young couple, Kim Min Jae and Son Na Eun. Kim Min Jae's character was a bit boring, and how he treated his mother, no comments; but after he became someone who was okay to reliable. BUT! Son Na Eun's character and acting was the worst of the drama. She still has to learn a lot for act, the good point is that she doesn't appear too much (I don't hate her, but I prefer her not to act, only until she learns well how to).
Music: I think the OST was excellent, they even used an old Korean song "Wrongful Meeting", which was appropiate with the drama
Rewatch Value: I might see it one day again, it had many good scenes.
Overall: An excellent romantic comedy drama, which is a different drama of what I had seen before, this woman has many strenght inside her. The plot was excellent, and the music was very good too. Maybe a 10 is exagerated, but it's my opinion. I really hope you can love this drama as much as I did.

Drama Special Season 5: Middle School Student A
5 people found this review helpful
Acting/Cast: I'd saw Kwak Dong Yun in another special drama of KBS called "Adolescence Medley", which is similar to this one, he did a good perfomance in both dramas, by the moment this type of character suits him, but I still have to see more of his work, so maybe there's another type of character which already suit him. Lee Yeol Eum made a great acting doing the evil-not-really-bad character, with his looking (I mean in this drama) she was so good!
Music: It could be better, but for being a simply special drama (of school topic) it suits. Maybe if they had done a drama of about 8 episodes it could be better.
Rewatch Value: I might think twice before seeing this special again, but I won't tell I won't see it again someday.
Overall: It's a good school special drama which topic is about bullying. I think they did it quite okay for being only 1 episode. They skiped boring scenes (some dramas have like 2 or 3 episodes which could be better if they don't have them), and make it suitable.
If you like dramas/movies about school's bullying you have to see it. Since it's only 1h you won't feel as it's a waste of time.

At beginning, the drama started a bit weak, but when half of the drama arrived, it started to have a lot of tension every episode. It really doesn't have many romance, but you can see how the main actor & actress feel about each otherSeo In Guk surprised me, I always watched his other dramas/movies but he was unexpected in this one. He did it very good! I think he can be even better with time.
About Jang Na Ra, she's still the best, she didn't disappointed me.
Park Bo Gum was the best of all the cast, he's acting is simply perfect! It was my first time seeing him acting, and I turned his fan, I will search for other dramas he did. His role was essential, I think nobody than him could do this role.
Choi Won Young did a perfect perfomance as Lee Jun Ho, he was creppy but it was so good.
I personally recommend the drama, even if the beginning is a bit slow and obvious, you won't know what will happen.
What I will say can be considered a Spoiler....
****(SPOILER)****
The end was opened but somehow you realize how it ends, I liked the opened ending, but I still would like to request a 2nd season ***(BIG SPOILER)*** (specially because they still didn't catch Lee Jun Yeong, and we don't really know which was the decision of Min).
***(END BIG AND NOT BIG SPOILER)***

Story: At first it had an excellent beginning, but when I arrived at the episodes 10-14 it became a bit boring, I have to say that I stopped watching it (I was on holidays and when I came back I felt like I didn't want to continue watching it), since a friend of mine told me that since episode 14 until 17 doesn't happen so much, I just skipped them and continued it since episode 18, at last I found it interesting again. The 3 last episodes were good. The end was preety, but I expected a little different end so I just acquiesced to it.Acting/Cast: It was my first time seeing JoonGi and SooHyuk acting, and wow I specially liked the character of SooHyuk, he suited a lot his character of devil vampire, I think he was the most interesting of the story, specially I found so sad his story... JoonGi and YuBi were a cute couple, but sometimes I got desperate because they weren't moving forward. About ChangMin, I don't have something to tell about him, I had already saw him in 'Paradise Ranch' and I liked his acting. I saw YuBi in 'Pinnochio' and since there I liked her, of course her character somehow sometimes was a bit passive so I will just look the other way. SoEun's character was a bit hateful but I also appreciated her when lots of episodes proceeded.The best one was HeeJin, even if she had a supporting role, I found her acting very impressive, ****[SPOILER SPOILER: at beginning I thought she could be evil, but she was so lovely END SPOILER]****
Music: I really loved the music, I even donwloaded all of the tracks. All of the songs suited each scenes.
Rewatch Value: I would think about seeing it again, because of the episodes which turned a boring, but I won't say I won't see it again someday, it could happen.
Overall: It's a 6.5/10 because it was quite good, except the episodes I skiped, if they just made the drama shorter it could have a better mark.

Acting/Cast: The paper of Kim So Eun was a bit absurd, the way the character treated the boy, well, without comments. About Xiumin, I wasn't expecting a lot, because I though he wouldn't act well, but I was surprised. Maybe, since I wasn't expecting a lot I liked the way he performed, because the paper suited him.
Music: Quite okay, but not very touching nor surprising.
Rewatch Value: I should think about it before try to see this one again, because the lacking parts, are really the worst.
Overall: Even if it wasn't the best mini-drama I had seen, it still was good, and easy to follow. Except the lacking parts I think it was okay to see how the line was. I recommend to see this mini-drama only if you're bored.

Except because of this con, I recommend it; because the story and the main couple is OK.
I'm making this review of my point of view. I expected quite a lot of this drama because of Ji Sung, but the perfomance of Jae Joong was weak. Sometimes I was going to drop the drama, but I didn't because of the story.
P.S. I'm not a hater or something like this towards Jae Joong.

Acting/Cast: The acting sucks a bit... THe girl, Seo Min Ji, made a great job, but Nam Tae Hyun's perfomance was the worst I had seen until now. I think he has to improve more before make a drama, so maybe he can keep going on mini-dramas or making cameos in another dramas.
Music: I think the music could be better, but not as bas as another dramas.
Rewatch Value: I would consider to see this serie again, because it was boring.
Overall: Even if it wasn't the best mini-drama I had seen until now, I think it was a perfect mini-drama to see without subtitles (or korean subtitles) to improve my Korean. So I recommend you to see this one if tou want to improve your Korean skills.

If you like romantic films you'll like it, the cast was fantastic, also if you're a person who easy cries you'll cry (I did).
Joong Ki & Bo Young were impressive, it was my first time seeing them acting and I would give them a 9/10. After I saw this film I saw other work of them.
Really recommendable.
