As much as I want to love this drama, it was a little disappointing for me. My expectations of the drama was set too high (hearing Joy actually auditioned for this role) and sadly, this drama didn't quite fulfill my expectations. But then it was an enjoyable drama, not the worst:)

Firstly, the story is soooo unrealistic. I haven't watch the Japanese version (movie etc) of it so I am not quite sure how they portrayed it; the fall in love at first sight is just so unbelievable (and awkward). Actually, there are a lot of unbelievable parts (the entertainment industry, the bitch classmate etc). I do understand that dramas normally have a lot of loopholes in general and we will be scolding the characters/writers while we watch it. But then in this case its really too fake....

Next, the cast is good looking and eye catching.By looking at the posters, they seems to suit their roles individually. And again, the problems comes in when they act. There is already problems with their story and hence it will be difficult for the actors to save the day. Joy acts really good in her singing and happy, cheerful scenes. But then her troubled and sad times make me feel sooo awkward. (I really do love Joy) And for other actors and actresses, there are fairly good for this drama:)

Music is the saving point for me. Joy's singing is gold! And Yuna (in the drama) sings very well too. Like wise Crude Play also have some great songs (I like Peterpan) And so they deserve a high mark on this:)

All in all, I expect something better from HyunWoo and Joy. Hyun Woo deserves better storylines/characters for him display his acting. Btw, he seems a bit childish looking/feeling here, he was so hot in Moorim School (that blonde hair) haha. I hope Joy can get another great drama and impress us sometime.

Interesting drama about the folklore of Dokkaebi. I had my reservations, ironically because this is a hit. I didn't enjoy hits like DOTS so I was quite skeptical about this drama too. Watched it anyway and enjoyed it thoroughly:)

Firstly, all the logic fell into place nicely and the flow of the drama is great, so I can follow and immerse into the story quite well. (except for that part of Sunny's restaurant business..) Secondly, the characters are planned out nicely and uniquely interesting. Lastly, the bromance, womance, romance and kinship is displayed appropriately. I am glad that there are relationships other than romance, making the story much for believable. I enjoyed the story maybe except that the drama did a lot of recaps so I have to fast forward every time there is one.

I didn't quite believe that there will be chemistry between the two leads, but they really impressed me!!! Sunny and Grim Reaper also displayed their subtle chemistry that I liked a lot. I was totally taken in by Grim Reaper!!! All other characters really performed well and deserves a 10/10 (INCLUDING THOSE NOT-SO-CAMEO CAMEOS)

All the OSTs was great, just that the (airy) track by Soyou wasn't quite enjoyable for me. Like you are trying to immerse in the emotions then the breathy sounds come in (maybe its just me)

All in all, just watch it!!!
