I already watched The Return of Iljimae by Jung Il-woo (who I also admire so much), though the story is different, I still love both.
This series melts my heart and really made me much more in love with Joon Gi! Though there are scenes that are kind'a dragging, I still love every thing about this series.
I love it that the young Joon Gi and young Hyu Joo are played by Jin-goo and Yoo-jung which played the young antagonists in Moon Embracing the Sun (a series the I also loved so much - and they are so much younger here!), and the way the young and the adults acted are superb!

Some may hate this type of story but I totally love this, probably because of how they have executed it and the great acting by the young protagonists then the adult protagonists. I also like the pace of the story and how it emotionally squeezes my heart during every episodes.
At first I opted to watch this because the premise kind'a sounds like Just Between Lovers - and I super love JBL!!! But after watching the first few episodes I know that they are different but also kind'a the same (especially the young male protagonist as it was both played by Nam Da-Reum who also played the young Lee Jung Suk in While Your Were Sleeping).
I like how the character develops and how the friendship blossoms between the 2 young actors. The chemistry is quite unexplainable - I can't put into words the feeling this series brought me. It makes me wanna cry, wanna love, wanna sad and wanna smile.
I hope everyone gives this series an opportunity...

At first I didn’t know that I will love this series so much - I just want to watch another series while waiting for new episodes of Come Here and Hug Me, Wok of Love and Suits...
But after just watching the first episode I am already so in to this series!!!
Acting/Actors: superb! Oh I am so in love with Lee Joon Gi and Soe Ye Ji! They look so wonderful together. The camaraderie between all actors are great! There are slight bromance that always gets to me! Chemistry is simply amazing!
Story: gosh! From the back story to their present lives I’m quite hooked! This series has everything, drama comedy romance family skinship killings and a really fantastic ACTION scenes!!! Phasing for me is quite right, it’s fast and slow at the same time so I just about like it...
Music: just about right for me, they are not banking too much with music unlike other dramas that automatically plays music almost every other scene, I guess because there are already a lot of things happening at the same time so there’s really no need to put too much music just to make the viewers kind of feel like intense or something.... The story and their acting will already make you nuts with intense! Lol!!!
I hope you guys give this a chance :)

So far I am loving it! Korean version is quite conservative than the US (as to be expected lol!). Some cases seem a little huried understandable since US series is already running for 7 seasons while Korean vesrion will only be for 16 episodes - I believe they are only remaking the season 1 as most of the scenes so far are scenes that took place during season 1. But still I loved it!
I love PHS oppa!

I started watching this because of Lee Jun Ho (who I love from Just Between Lovers) and Jeong Ryeo Won (from Which Star Are You From)...
After watching the first few episodes I can't stop laughing (especially the scenes with Jang Hyuk's scenes with his gang lol!). Then I love it more with the development of each character and their interaction with one another...
I'd also probably love the bromance here if they will just show more of it. Well, they are only on their 12th 30mins episode so I know that a lot more will still happen. But right now I just can't wait anymore for the next episodes.
