i watched this because the couple from "love around" was also a couple in here. The beginning was surprisingly good which allowed me to continue watching. The chemistry between the main leads was very good, almost as if Annie and George were a real couple,and other couples weren't that bad either. it also helps that this drama was already done and not airing for me bc the cliffhangers definitely made me want more.

however the show's problem was definitely its length of epis, but most of all some of the side characters...especially the women in George's family. i felt that their life only revolved George and Annie's love life way to much. After like the 40th episode you start to feel the need to skip episodes bc if u went out for like 20 mins u would still know what was going on. i did like the relationship between Yang Yi Ru aka(Annie), and her ex-boyfriend and his to her family.

This show definitely reeled me in because of the plot. I don't think there's that many Korean dramas that use "the stranded on an island" card, maybe even none, as their setting or main plot device. It also reminded me of the American show "Lost" too. The actors (especially Jung Kyung Ho) were a big part in my interest too. I actually think almost all of the cast should be recognizable to viewers who've watched dramas for awhile.

I'm not going lie Missing 9 had a good start in first nine episodes. However, after the 10th or 11th the plot was still the same, but the whole tone of the show changed. It went from melodrama to straight comedy. At times, I questioned if I started watching another drama without realizing it. I realized the comedic moments in the earlier episodes too, but it was done at the right timing (my favorite has got to be Joon Oh reaction after stepping on a..) and I definitely laughed like crazy at some of them. Overall, the scenes on the island were the best.

The acting by all of the cast was on point. Notable mentions are; Jung Kyung Ho as Joon Oh, whose portrayal was nicely done. In the beginning it seems like he's going to be an overly picky jerk, but you later realize he's just a nice and funny guy that values his friends. Choi Tae Joon as Tae Ho, a creepy but amazing portrayal. I would say he was the exact opposite of Joon Oh, he valued himself over anyone and he wasn't afraid to admit it. How this dude was able to play such a violent and creepy character, while having such a baby face is beyond me.

The music was nice. I don't really have anything more to say about that lol.

Now here are some questions and statements this show has left me with;
So what was the significance of Lee Yeol's ( Park Chang Yeol) character?
When did Joon Oh and Bong Hee get together??
Once again, the law enforcers in Korean dramas are useless.

I feel like this really takes me back to that "boys over flowers" or "flower boy" period we had a couple of years ago, although there's a chance its still going on. Anyway, as the title indicates "Cinderella" is the poor girl who gets with the chaebal and the family is opposed to it or at least the"grandpa" and they try to tear them apart. The chaebal she falls in love with is of course the one that treats her the with some degree of douchery, but he later opens up to her and they make it through whatever comes their way.

This drama is pretty predictable and cliche but I found myself watching it because it was refreshing to me, a bit nostalgic as well to when I first started watching dramas. It also had some actors I've seen around and just gave it a chance. I think it's one of those dramas those dramas to watch after you've just finished watching a gooood drama that might have finished recently.

at first i was watching this because it was related to music and the lead actor was Sung Joon from lie to me but trust from there i was just watching it just because it was really good and captivating. i thought people wouldn't really watch it because it airs the same time as Dream high but it proved me wrong.

judging by the trailer u definitely knew it was going to be about rock and probably a dark drama but yeah... it kinda is. however this wouldn't be drama if it didn't have sad or dark moments and truthfully it has more happy moments than sad. you'll see your self crying then just after awhile you'll be giggling and smiling because of that one particular character that lights up the drama's mood that makes you love the show more than you thought it would.

in the end the actors, music, plot, and romance is daebak
