The story was relatively cliche for the most part, but that's not to say the show wasn't enjoyable :) From the very start, you could already tell how the story was going to end.

The acting was good enough for me. It wasn't spectacular, but it isn't horrific. In other words, I suppose it was mediocore. The main character is the typical not-your-typical-pretty-girl character. Throughout the show, we are treated to her less than palatable habits and see her unflattering side numerous times. If that is not your taste, and you like to pretend that your main characters are fairy princesses who have no need for the toilet, then I suggest you run for the hills and never look back.

The music is forgettable enough for me to be unable to recall any of the OST even though I have just finished it recently. But it served its purpose well.

I certainly won't be rewatching this again. There aren't any scenes that are particularly impressionable and left me pinned to my seat; my time would be better spent hunting for new dramas to watch haha.

It was a fun ride for the most part. It isn't a show that will have you clamoring for more, leaving you with a strange emptiness when you finish. But it is still a good watch and I will recommend this if you are looking for some time to kill.

The story had a good beginning but it all went downhill from then on. It was interesting enough with a more original plot than most other dramas. Unfortunately, it was not used to its full potential. At some parts, the story made no sense. The characters... Oh, the characters. We have the scriptwriters tirelessly reusing the same plot device over and over again, and at some points, I felt so frustrated because damn it, why do the main characters keep falling for the same thing over and over again?! In my opinion, the show dragged on way too long. They should have just cut it off earlier, kept it short and sweet, then perhaps I wouldn't have found it as burdensome to finish the drama. Sad to say, it was with a sigh of relief that I finally finished the last episode.

It was apparent that Woo Hyun and Sung Yeol were a little lacking in experience as their acting was a little dull and stiff but it was palatable. On the other hand, I think Kim Sae Ron did really well. :) You can hardly tell that she is 14?! I was so shocked when I found out her real age, for such a young actor, she portrayed her character well.

The music is meh. Not good, not bad.

I highly doubt I will rewatch this again unless I am in the mood to torture myself slowly with boredom.

The story was really touching, although it wasn't the most impressionable of plots. But it is interesting enough, and I can guarantee you will not be bored. The show starts off light-hearted, but of course, that does not continue for long. A qualm I have with the show is that it is lacking a little in the character development, particularly the main villian's obsession with the lead girl and his motivations. But I suppose this IS a 2 hour long movie, and the development of the main characters and their relationships should be the focal point of the show.

And, kudos to the actors! They have really carried the story along well, and I was really impressed with the acting here, especially that of Song Joong Ki. His role as a werewolf is, if anything, unique. Nevertheless, he pulled it off really well :)

The music was okay, but then again, when I watch shows, I don't really notice the OST unless it is REALLY good. I don't remember much about the music, but I guess the music served its role well and was appropriate.

I have recently rewatched this again, and I am not one for rewatching shows, so I would rate the rewatch value of this highly. Although I have forgotten most of the story, I distinctly remember the heart-rending sorrow I felt come the end of the show, and how I have sobbed and sobbed my heart out.

If what you want is a good cry and catharsis, look no further! If you are not looking to end up as a teary mess, then I suggest you give this show a miss. But, by all means, go ahead and give this a try! :)

This is different from most korean shows I have seen so far in that apart from its sentimentality and tragic elements, I find that it has a backbone. What I mean is that while this show definitely aims to cater to the audience and provide them the fluff and catharsis they desire, it also gets you thinking, even if it's just a little. Watch for yourself, and perhaps you will see what I mean. :)
