This drama was very unpredictable which is what got me continuing to watch it in a 3 day span. I liked it because there aren't a lot of episodes, so they packed everything into the 8 episodes they had, making use of all their time wisely. So there were no stupid scenes or useless side stories in play. When I first started watching, it was sort of slow because everyone is trying to find the sender of this letter, but once you get into it, it is no longer about a mere prank but life and death with the serial killer. I must say though that after they discover the killer, that's when the psychological games begin.
Another side note, it helps that the people are very attractive, so that kept me watching as well ;)

I found this drama very entertaining. It is meant to be a comedy and although it touches on very moving subjects, it never fails to be hilarious! All the characters are very well played and very funny. They are all silly in their own way and although the plot is rather redundant, the entertainment the characters give makes up for the rather boring plot. Near the end episodes of the drama, I found it particularly funny when Unubore sang his own theme song. If you are looking for a drama that is a good solid dectective plot then this is probably something you would not enjoy. But if you like comedy (not in a sophisticated way I suppose) then you would thoroughly enjoy this drama. :)

Overall this drama was decent. It was very dramatic, but in a way that wasn't very predictable. In the end, I found that the character's decisions were very unexpected despite how realistic their decisions were. Usually in dramas like this, there is some unexpected twist that is completely unrealistic, but the realism in this drama was very well done. The characters in this drama all have a major flaw, or more than one, but this is developed to show how they improve on their flaw later on in life. If you like slice of life dramas with no real substance then I would recommend this as a mere entertainment rather than something to obsess over.

I admit that at first I watched this just because Wu Chun was in it, but despite the fact that he was supporting character, the movie was rather good. It is the typical chinese kung fu movie, but because it has a historical background the layout of the film is slightly different to fit that time. Since it was in the Ming Dynasty, the invention of metal contraptions were present, so it is not the traditional Chinese kung fu movies like crouching tiger and house of flying daggers kind of thing. The plot line goes rather fast, so paying attention in the beginning is very crucial because it lays a foundation for the rest of the movie. Overall, it was a good action movie with very interesting sound effects. If you like chinese action movies then you might also enjoy this film as well. Also the complex plot is very intriguing.

This show is very ordinary in the way it is a very typical detective drama with the main person helping to solve cases. The only thing difference is that the main character girl called Wanko, is very cute. She dresses in the gothic lolita fashion and has the sense of smell like a dog. She uses her keen sense of smell to solve cases and her very outgoing and honest personality is what makes her a very lovable character. Other detectives she work with are also very entertaining and funny in the way they act and everyone in this drama is very comical in their own way. This show is not at all serious and is made for a very cute feel. Honestly I felt like the show ended in a very ambiguous way and was very disappointing, but all the other episodes were entertaining. So if you like watching cute dramas with a detective feel, then I would greatly recommend this drama.

For people who have read the original story and enjoyed the first adaptation of Hana Kimi (Japanese), then this would be disappointing. They changed some minor character's personalities and traits and added some of there own to add more drama, or so I think. If you were expecting it to be funny like the first Hana Kimi, then you would also be disappointed because this drama lacks that kind of humor. This version also changed minor minor events, that make the main characters seem superficial, like making the main guy, played by Minho, to be a celebrity and making the girl, played by Sullie, have a more fangirl-like reason to dress up as a boy.
Without comparing to the original, I thought that the actors and actresses were decent. I really liked who they picked for the girl role and thought she played her part very well. Also the main male role was also very well played. I wouldn't say that the rest of the cast was mediocre, but because they changed some of the personality traits, like the guy who is supposed to play the Korean version of Nakatsu, I got annoyed with them at times. All in all, the show was made into a good drama, but it's not something that I would deem as very great either.

This drama was really great! Out of all the Taiwanese dramas I've watched this is by far one of the best ones ever! It had the great humorous touch like what most of them have along with the fast paced, dramatic scenes of Korean and Japanese dramas. There is not a lot of filler in this drama and I kept wanting to watch more of it. Also it's great that Siwon and Donghae from Super Junior are in it (I love them so much). Although I wasn't a big fan of either of them before watching, I admit that I surely know who they are and really enjoyed them in this drama. Another great aspect was the music. The music played a really great part in the drama and since Super Junior sings some of the songs, you won't be disappointed.
Initially starting the drama, I only read one chapter of the original story. So I had a vague idea of what was going on and plot. So when watching it, it was entertaining to find out what happened next. My only complaint is that all the secrets and back stories of the characters were revealed at the end and even so it seemed they sped that up. With a non conclusive ending, I'm hoping they make a season two.

The overall story was pretty decent and the psychological evidence in the drama itself is pretty legitimate. However, if you're expecting something along the lines of the webtoon, then the drama is going to be somewhat of a disappointment. The cases are not very similar, but the psychological analysis is. The characters are somewhat more involved in the drama compared to the webtoon, however this isn't a drama to watch if you really want in depth character development. In my non professional opinion, they stopped trying to create a certain image of some characters mid way through the drama, making them seem completely different toward the end.

Also it's an OCN drama, which means it's more of a mystery/detective drama rather than more psychological. If you're thinking this is going to be more psychological than detective then you also may be disappointed as well. Watching this at first, the detective cases were a bit of a surprise and take away more of the psychological aspect of the drama.

Overall, it was a decent detective drama with an educational (psychological) side to it. (it also helps that the main guy is attractive :D) If you're ever bored and want something interesting to watch, then I would recommend this drama. It's relatively short, so it's not like it's going to take up months of your time.

The drama is a good twist on the revenge story. Before watching this I have seen several of other dramas featuring Lee Min Ho, and have not held any particular like or dislike for the dramas. But in this drama, he really out did himself and created a very likable character. The cast was very good and everyone did a great job in creating the mood of the overall story line. Although it is a good drama to watch, which I would highly recommend, rewatching it would probably not be as good as the first. This drama is very good for the suspense of the plot as well as the action, but once already seen, the suspense would probably not be there anymore.

Quite honestly, the original Korean version was better than the Japanese version. Don't get me wrong, I thought this one was very well made and the acting was great, but the stories of both dramas was very similar so I will focus on the other points. Although this is a love story, I thought that the Korean version dealt with more of the musical significance and the play out of each character than the Japanese version did. The Japanese version focused a lot more on Miko, the main character girl instead of her brother, while in the Korean version, the brother was mentioned as a looming presence. Of course though, that the brother is not the main part of the story, but I feel like Mio was somehow completely dismissed and gone from the storyline, even though he does play a part in the show. Also, these people are in a band, and yet you only hear two songs sung by them (this could be my bias since I love music). Anyway, if you greatly enjoyed the Korean version, then you will love this show as well. They are very similar, so if you don't like watching the same thing twice, then maybe you shouldn't watch this. There are some things that are different, but nothing serious.
