Nothing epic but unexpectedly entertaining
Unexpectedly entertaining. If you're looking for something light but not senseless to watch, then this is for you.The plot of the story was nothing new. It's the typical dominant ML and the pretty girl next door FL. They've met.. they've clashed.. they've bonded.. then they fall in love.
Even with these classic formula, it still worked because it is well written and was portrayed by good actors. The characters were also realistic enough to make it relatable. Also the story didn't dragged on for too long, it didn't have much filler episodes/scenes.

You can tell how it’ll go.
Honestly speaking, I could predict each and every thing happening before it did so it was quite boring for me. Felt like dropping it so many times but continued on watching it because the main actor has great acting skills and made it funny sometimes.I’ll give credit to the actors and actresses, they did well; other than that, the storyline was very typical. I think most people would know what would happen just watching the first episode, or even the first 30 minutes of it.
I don’t usually write reviews but I just had to let that out..,

The BGM really resembled that of Healer's, which I enjoyed. The acting by the leads was top notch. I watched this for the romance and not for the business / corporate takeover aspects. The beginning of the drama had a good story flowing but became a mess towards the end of the drama as the writers tried to wrap everything up neatly in the last 2 episodes. However, the ending felt rushed and as a viewer, I felt robbed of the potential cute romantic scenes between the leads... I would have been more satisfied if I got to watch more cute scenes by the leads.

Story
The story is not a very original plot to begin with, but I don’t think that has to be considered a bad thing. More importantly to me is the pace, which felt good. Not too slow, not too ridiculously fast. It’s very obviously Romance with a touch of comedy, so obviously there’s going to be a lot of that in the plot. The first 7 episodes didn’t really grab me empathetically (might be my personal problem so don’t weigh this comment too heavily), but around episode 8 I started getting more into it.
There were scenes that really got to me, especially one during episode 12, 15 and 16. I think the writers and cast did wonderful in getting the feel of it right. I got to admit that during the second half of this drama, I laughed and cried a lot. Much of that thanks to the amazing acting.
The only real critics I have, is that I would have liked to see more development in the female lead’s character. Comparing her from where she began to where she ended.. I feel like her development was very small. So when it comes to connection – I don’t really feel connected to her. But hey, that’s fine. All the more attention for Jung Kyung! ;)
And next to that I felt the last episode was a little lacking in explaining a thing or two. Yes, it gives closure, but I feel like I'm left with a few unsolved questions regarding a matter I won't spoil.
As a final note - the story really sets you thinking. So despite it being pretty simple a story, there is definitely lots of emotion going on. For me - it made me think a lot about living life and what it can mean. It gives you a new perspective.
Acting/Cast
The cast did a good job and I have no critics on their acting. The only thing I personally wasn’t sure of was the chemistry between the male lead and the female lead but that can be subjective. I loved Jung Kyung Ho as Kang Min Ho. But I’m not sure if I liked Kim so Yeon as Kim Sun Jeong as much. She felt a bit flat to me, especially compared to Kang Min Ho who I felt had many more layers. Though looking back at the story, I think that’s not her fault. She played the role she was given fine, but her character didn’t have half as much development as some others.
Either way – Their acting was good. The characters all had their flaws and strengths and like every human had to deal, reflect and develop accordingly. (But Kang Min Ho far more than Kim Sun Jeong.)
As for the character Kang Min Ho. I did at times find him too abusive in his behavior. This was mainly at the very beginning. And how Kim Sun Jeong kept swallowing this… I don’t know – I would have been more put off by it maybe? But I do see the loveable sides of Kang Min Ho, so eventually that started to make up for it for me. This feeling was forgotten during the second half of the drama.
Can I just say how amazing Jung Kyung’s acting is? He made me fall in love with his character so totally. He was the perfect mix between a man and a boy at the best of times. The comedy scenes he did were so natural! He often had me laugh with him and having a boyfriend doing such cute things in such a natural way like he did here – that’s many a girl’s dream, no doubt.
Music & sound
I can’t say the music popped out for me personally. It suited the mood just fine, but there was no song that got stuck in my head as I watched it.
As for sound – I was constantly annoyed by the squeaking of chairs. I think the mics picked up on that sound a little too well for my taste. But maybe that’s nitpicking.
Rewatch Value
If you want a romantic ride without too many twists and thoughts, this is definitely a good one to watch it again. As for me? Right now I’m not too sure I will. There is nothing new to find for a second watch. The only thing I might watch it for a second time would be Jung Kyung Ho’s acting. Especially the moments where he jokes around.

What I like most about the series was the male leads personality, his acting and charisma. What I disliked was it seemed to lack a bit in the chemistry area. Our female lead was always serious, all business and somewhat distant. Her character was an extreme opposite vibe than the other cast members. She did smile about 2 or 3 times.
Overall good series.

Bellissimo
Drama Falling for innocence.Ho pensato a lungo a come descrivere questo drama senza risultare troppo banale o scontata, ma mi sono dovuta arrendere all'idea che basta una banale e scontata parola per descriverlo e cioè: MERAVIGLIOSO, questo drama è semplicemente meraviglioso!
Dopo aver esitato a lungo ho deciso di iniziarlo e con mia sorpresa l'ho adorato. Falling for innocence ti fa ridere, piangere (molto), ma soprattutto ti fa "battere il cuore" innumerevoli volte. Ha un po' di azione, suspense, un pizzico di fantasy e il famoso e onnipresente triangolo amoroso (o potrebbe essere un quadrato in questo caso). Tra intrighi, lotte per il potere, vendette e redenzione, la storia mi ha praticamente tenuta incollata allo schermo per tutto il tempo senza mai annoiarmi. Per non parlare della parte romantica che mi ha fatto emozionare e sospirare innumerevoli volte. Da ciò è facilmente intuibile che Falling è una continua corsa sulle montagne russe delle emozioni ...
Per quanto riguarda i personaggi li ho amati praticamente tutti ma il mio cuore l'ha senza dubbio rubato il protagonista. Kang Min Ho è freddo, cattivo, stronzo e insensibile, calpesta tutto e tutti senza il minimo rimorso e non si preoccupa di chi fa soffrire. Ma in realtà tutto ciò è solo una facciata perché non è altro che un uomo ferito e solo, che è stato tradito dalla sua stessa famiglia.
La sua evoluzione è sorprendente e meravigliosa al tempo stesso: il modo in cui cambia per amore fa sognare, ma soprattutto fa sognare il modo in cui guarda la sua Kim Soon Jung. Non sa nulla dell'amore e guardarlo "imparare" a corteggiarla è stato esilarante e tenero allo stesso tempo. La frase "Tu sei un dono nella mia vita" penso che faccia capire bene la portata dei suoi sentimenti verso Soon Jung.
Kim Soon Jung è una donna forte, coraggiosa, che non ha paura di dire ciò che pensa. Si batte per aiutare le persone che ama e dà tutta se stessa nel suo lavoro. Subisce una grande perdita ma questo non le impedisce di continuare ad avere un sorriso e parole di conforto per tutti, soprattutto per il suo Min Ho, che sostiene e incoraggia continuamente.
Un altro bellissimo personaggio è quello della poliziotta "Wendy". Anche lei forte e coraggiosa, lotta ed è determinata a risolvere un caso che tocca da vicinissimo lei e Kim Soon Jung.
E poi c'è lui, il cattivo di turno, un vero lupo travestito da agnello, anche se la sua maschera cadrà abbastanza presto. Di solito mi sforzo di capire il perché e cosa spinge il cattivo a comportarsi come tale, ma in questo caso dopo un po' ho gettato la spugna e l'ho semplicemente odiato, anzi il mio odio cresceva in maniera proporzionale alle sue malefatte (che credetemi sono state tante e una in particolare davvero ignobile).
Ruolo importante è giocato anche dalle ost davvero molto carine tra cui spicca la mia preferita: Paradise di Davink.
Quindi consiglio Falling for innocence? ASSOLUTAMENTE SI, perché attraverso tutti i suoi 16 episodi non c'è mai stato un momento in cui non abbia vissuto emozioni diverse: shock, felicità, dolore, tristezza e gioia. Sia che si sia trattato di una risata, di un pianto o di urla allo schermo, questo drama mi ha fatto sempre "sentire" e provare qualcosa.

Don't look at the promo picture, its a lot better than that, and worth watching.
It's not a rom com, in fact in parts it's pretty dark, about betrayal in friendships and business.So it is a bit of a murder mystery, business boardroom drama, and a romance where the ML changes. The script is pretty good and manages to handle most of this in an almost perfect mix, even though fairly early on who the villain is, and I had worked out almost all of the plot from the Ep2.
The two male leads are what made this for me, plus the experienced charector actors who all good, and given good roles.
Jung Kyung-ho, who is an amazing comic actor was able to show make the change believable, in what for me is the fantasy part. and Hyun-min Yoon was in a role I had never seen him play, which was refreshing. The 2nd couple were sweet and not irritating, and I liked the running joke.
The huge problem I have is the FL was written as a good submissive woman who something terrible happens, and she just does nothing, she is a blank page. It was just not believable.
In all it's a pretty easy watch.

Avoir du cœur, ça peut avoir plusieurs significations...
Commentaire fait au fil du visionnage- J'ai commencé "Falling for innocence" et déjà c'est un plaisir de voir que je connais quasiment toute la distribution ! (dont l'inévitable papa de jan Di ! )et ensuite, malgré une parfaite enfilade de clichés dramaesques (jusqu'au passage obligé dans une boutique pour rhabiller l'héroïne ) ça se boit comme du petit lait !!
- J'ai vu deux épisodes et comme je l'avais supposé (vu qu'il ne l'embrasse pas une seule fois malgré des "je t'aime" à répétition), le fiancé ne finira pas avec sa fiancée ! ou en tous cas pas de façon habituelle, car dès la fin de l'épisode 2 l'histoire est écrite !
- Autrement je continue "falling..." qui me plaît toujours mais dommage seulement que déjà on sache tout, ce qui donne une impression de ralentissement, car qui douterait un seul instant que c'est le cœur du gentil qui a sauvé la vie du méchant, et que ce cœur va le transformer ?? alors on voudrait que la transformation se manifeste plus rapidement !
- Je continue "falling for innocence"avec beaucoup de plaisir, car les intrigues et les complots sont heureusement contrebalancés par le petit côté fantastiqu :
(la façon dont Min Ho comprend qui lui a donné son cœur, et comment il appréhende la situation),
et par pas mal d'humour dans les scènes entre Min Ho et Soon Jung, sans compter le secrétaire/ami/bras droit du héros qui est très drôle aussi ! Tout cela permet de donner de l'originalité à une histoire de vengeance/manipulation assez banale et déjà bien exploitée ! C'est pour ça que j'ai laissé tomber "Money flower", parce que il n'y avait aucune touche de fantaisie, d'humour ni de chaleur dans le personnage principal !
- Je continue "falling ..." qui est une épreuve pour les nerfs !!! Si je ne savais pas déjà que la fin va tout remettre en place je ne pourrai pas supporter la suite d'obstacles que Min Ho doit franchir pour revenir du bon côté de la Force !! Et j'ai encore 5 épisodes à voir !! Je sens arriver le passage "je t'aime mais je te quitte" et j'espère que ce sera assez bien fichu pour être crédible !
- Edit : avant dernier épisode de "falling..." et paf ! revoilà la maladie incurable !! la fin de l'épisode et le preview essaient désespérément de me faire peur, mais que nenni !!! j'ai vu la fin et je sais que c'est juste pour un nouveau rebondissement (parfaitement inutile, je trouve, les démêlés avec le Traître et le maintien de l'entreprise se suffisaient déjà bien à eux mêmes !!) Mais on a droit à tous les clichés dans ce drama ! Heureusement que c'est bien fait, avec humour et très très bien interprété !!
- Re-edit : Et voilà !! Ils ont refait le coup !
Il tombe sur son épaule, direction l'hôpital, défibrillateur et ... rien ... Alors on croit qu'il est mort, et hop, la vie continue, mais qui voilà tout à coup ??? mais c'est le miraculé ! Il était aux USA pour les affaires !! Comment son rejet de greffe s'est résolu, ça on n'en saura rien !! Mais pourquoi s'ennuyer avec de petits détail triviaux de ce genre ?? Non, mais vraiment c'est se moquer du monde, une fois de plus, d'autant que cette histoire de rejet était parfaitement inutile !
Comme c'est dommage, c'est un drama charmant, alternant le suspens, la romance et l'humour dans une juste mesure mais la fin... La fin !!!!! *s'arrachelescheveuxdedésespoir* !!!
