For a person who expects a medical focus only might be disappointed. After some couple episodes, the drama mainly focuses on the romance and the relationship between each character.

I was blown away by the intensity of the first couple episode which sucks me in completely. I can't stop myself to keep on watching. The main male character is very interesting and the story mainly focuses on his point of view.  In the beginning, there are a lot of questions whether he is a really good doctor or just a talented yet only focus on money.

I think the idea of the story is amazing and the chemistry and the acting between Jo Won and Kim Tae Hee is just amazing. Jo Won is one of the most talented actors that I ever know. I have watched some of his drama and every time I watch him on screen, he always surprises me. The only thing that I think makes this drama kind of boring is the couple last of the eps. I find it's dragging too long and wrapt up in a very open end way. To be honest, I kind of wanting a different ending.

I recommend this drama for a person who loves angst and melodramatic drama. There are some little comedy but not much.

I love mysteries or crime theme drama. I have watched a lot of Japanese or Western crime drama from MR.Brain, CSI, Bones, BOSS, Galileo, Criminal Minds you name it. I haven't watched a lot of Korean drama that mainly focuses on crime or mystery (I rule out drama like Pinocchio and I hear your voice) when I stumble on Vampire Prosecutor. With a high rating and success story on being made into 2 seasons, I have a lot of expectations. Unfortunately, this drama failed to deliver what I would like to see. I think this drama has a lot of potentials to deliver, with a dramatic plot and emotional impact. The idea of the story is great and the drama has talented actors as well but I find the pace, the script and the shot are not well implemented. For the first half of the story, the pace is really slow which make you want to skip.   What brings backs the life of the drama is the couple last episodes with a dramatic ending and better execution in the shooting.  Overall its an okay drama for me.   If you are looking for other Korean crime drama, I would recommend "The Chaser" as a perfect example of a great crime masterpiece (mixed with politic though).

The reason I watch this drama is because of Lee Sung Gi and the fact that this drama is based on my favorite tale, Journey to the West. To be honest, I nearly drop this drama in the beginning.

In the beginning, the story feels like being dragged and I can't find myself to like Sun Mi (I dislike her passive-aggressive nature it makes her lack any backbones). The romance was pretty off in the beginning and forced. I was also disappointed with the drama because I have my OWN expectations, especially the Sun Wo Kong's portrayal. In this drama, LSG did a good job in portraying the angry monkey king but he failed to add the monkey characteristic. (Maybe I'm being harshed because of my love of Journey to the West 1996 which has the best monkey king ever). LSG is too stoic here (even his previous act as Kang Chi in Gu Family Book is more lively). However, I can't put all the blame on LSG. I think the Hong sisters and the directors also have some share of faults here. Sun Wo Kong is strong, troublemaker and really really smart. He always able to find unusual solutions which I can't find here.

Another thing I don't like is the fact they put the usual CEO/Rich/Celebrity sprinkle in the drama. :(

What makes me continue:

After a while, I realize I should approach this drama from a different perspective. The Journey to the West original story is about a journey to go forward from many tribulations and used to teach children about kindness and perseverance. However, this drama is fully intended for romance. ROMANCE. YES>

Second, is my love for all the sides characters. Esp Ma Wang. He truly steals the show, for me. Cha Seung Won performance was brilliant. I can see the bull demon king character from him. His stubbornness especially! I also like Buja and PK story.

Third, Sun Mi finally shows more backbones and become a more loveable character after some character growth.

Last, the story does get more interesting after half of the story. Even if you already know the tale of Journey to the West and you are able to predict most of the story (like I did), you will still be hooked with the story about Sun Wo Kong's and Sun Mi's story end.

Overall, its a good drama. I will recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy romance.

This drama is the first K crime drama focus that I really really like. This drama is truly a masterpiece. Each episode always hooks me and keep me going. I don't even skip any scene. Which amazing and surprising. I really enjoy the whole journey. Each character was very lovable. Each episode has a lot of meaning and just perfect. I don't think I can find any fault with this drama.

I came to really like Choi Jin Hyuk. I hope he will play in more drama as the main character. He is a very excellent actor and him always able to make his character to be cute and loveable. Not only him, all the actors and actresses are doing a great job in their acting skill and building the chemistry.  Park Kwang Ho and Sun Jae have been on my high list of my fav bromance after all!!

This drama is based on a real-life case of Hwaseong serial killer. Many crime drama and film are made based on this incident. Recently I watched Gap Dong, which is also based on the same incident. However, I feel that Tunnel has been able to grasp the case and foretell it in a way-way better than Gap Dong.  The way they tell the case, the set of the victims and all other things was a work of art. Like if you notice, when he go to the past, the color of the scene has a tone of Sephia, whereas in the future has a tone of blueish to confirm its in the future.

Thanks for the Director to pick up such an amazing story and put up a great adaptation.

The love story between Lanzhan and WeiYing is one of its kind. They are just a perfect fit for each other. Although China censorship does not allow any BL content, the Director really manages to take great risks to keep up the true essence of the story with incredible directing and actings. Without any confession, LanZhan unconditional love can be felt. He loves WeiYing with all his hearts and he shows it with clear actions. It will be nice if this drama can be remade sometime in the future when china censorship has lessened their censor for certain things. But I'm still quite satisfied with this.

Nevertheless, the BL content is not the best part of this drama (I do enjoy good BL, but this drama offers more than that). What I love the most is the fact that there are many interesting characters and each of them is really complex. Both the villain and protagonist have their own faults, bad and good. You will feel ache and sympathize with each of them.

The drama told a story about the life of Shuzaku Kitazawa and his family. His family had bad personalities, cared about appearance and they never treated him kindly. Each episode is very bizarre but entertaining with every kind of antics that his family brings and Shusaku ended up being the person who had to commit crimes to solve the problem without being appreciated.

I find the drama is quite refreshing and unique. I like Yamada's funny expression and he acted very well. Although I find some of the jokes can be quite overwhelming and sometimes too ridiculous.Like why they have to treat him badly to the point that it did not make sense at all? Shusaku too had a slave mentality about his own family. At the near end of the series, there is one surprising fact about Shusaku true identity and why he had always been different. The ending was somewhat unexpected and had a bittersweet ending. Although I wish there are more scenes to show the changed in the new Kitazawa family. But Japanese drama had always preferred a subtle ending.

In conclusion, the drama is entertaining. It's a good drama to watch when you want to see something that makes you laugh.

First of all, don't get me wrong. I do like Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Jo. They are one of my favorite talents. But this drama has too many loopholes in the story. I cannot find myself to like both of the main lead and neither I can find their chemistry at all. I find the romance is being too forced and does not make any sense at all. For example like the true main heroine of the manhwa So Hee, how can she get pushed away by a mysterious girl that just show up? The writer is very sloppy in creating the plots with a lot of unexplained things like why the female lead was summoned in the beginning and then the no face killer. And how come the no face killer has awareness? I thought the story focuses on Kang Chul? I also find the story is also being dragged too long with so many weird romance filler. I mean the manhwa is a mystery genre, but then turn to be a really weak mystery genre. I don't feel any suspense at all. I find the idea is nothing new and not all that groundbreaking (maybe in k drama this is the first time about cross world manhwa theme but the plot with the no face killer thing, I find the plot is easy to recognize). I find myself being really impatient and skip so many scenes.  -______-" I know this drama is a hit but at the end, I just can't find myself liking it.

The story is simple and can be cliche. Luo Zhi has an unrequited love for Hainan since their highschool days. They went to the same university and finally met again. This time, they hit it off right away. Luo Zhi is the typical stubborn, introverted but actually soft-hearted girl. The romance did not start smoothly. But bypassing each hurdle, Lu Zhi and Hainan grew together. The drama is simple and kind of short. But it contains what it needs without any feeling of being incomplete. The resolution arc has less impact. But overall the drama is very enjoyable to watch. I really love the simplicity of the drama. A lot of drama nowadays are made with too many effects and scenes just for fan service. The simplicity of the cinematography actually brings in more emotion which makes it beautiful. This is also a type of drama that can make you want to rewatch it again and again.

This drama is very refreshing. All the casts are so perfect for their respected role (I can't believe I saw Yi Kyung here!! I like him after I saw him at Eulachacha Waikiki). In the beginning, I was hesitated to watch due to some negative comments and the rating, however, I'm glad that I choose to watch it. I find this drama is so underrated! The youth theme is nicely embedded through the whole show. It's about the friendship of 5 people group and their journey to go after their dream, finding their self-identity and the true meaning of love. The story is more focused on Tae Oh, who is played by Min Ho (He acts way better here compared to his previous drama with Sulli. Or maybe because the character has more similarity with him??). He is a lonely guy who is neglected by his father and value his friendship on top of everything. However, compared with the rest of the group, he is in a better position. Even though he is neglected, he has no worry about his life or future. He can waste money without any worry nor he does not have to make any effort into anything. Which is why he desires something that can give him the spark. Something that can force him to lead a more interesting life. He wants something but he is a coward to make an effort for it. This was shown on the relationship between him and Song Yi. He knows he likes her, but he does not want to commit or make any true effort to pursue her either. He thinks that true love has to be sparkling, intense and brand new, but it does not need to be. Then he finds himself losing the girl to his best friend. The ending is bittersweet and realistic. Both he and Song Yi lost the chance to blossom their first love but I think through time, they will gain something more important. A lifelong friendship.

I haven't fully watch Nirvana in Fire 1 but I can still follow this 2nd season series. The story has relation to the previous season but has a completely different story but still based on the up and down of Changlin Army. This drama is one of a kind. A masterpiece. The cinematography is breathtaking. The setting and the cruelty of war were shown properly. The story as well is amazing. It's not like a typical historical drama with a complex love story like usual that you would find (Empress Ki, Princess Wei Young). No. It is more focus on different kinds of love. Love for your family, friends, lovers and your country. The story is really beautiful especially the brotherhood between Ping Jing and Ping Zhang. It also shows that love and trust is the only thing that will sustain a country. It needs to start with your family and it will extend to other people which surround you.

One great thing about this drama is the fact that most of the characters are brilliantly smart. Even the female characters are smart too. (I die hard for smart character). The villain as well, you can even relate and took pity on them. It's not like the villain are born to be a villain. But sometimes circumstances made them do what they do. In the end, this drama has become one of my most fav drama ever.

Many people said that this drama is a remake of Itazura na Kiss. I don't think this drama is a remake at all. Maybe inspired? First, both of the lead, Jian Cheng, and Xiao Xi have better characters and attribute (Xiao xi has a talent to draw, whereas Kotoko has none). This drama is very simple and heartwarming. The story can be pretty predictable, but the acting make it into a beautiful play. The cinematography is also really beautiful. I like the settings of the area as well. It has some characters. However, sometimes I feel bored with the story and skip some of the episodes (I feel 23 is just too long). Maybe it is just me or I don't know.  I can't understand the jokes sometimes or maybe C-drama is just not my cup of tea. But I would still recommend this drama to anyone who is looking for a cute heartwarming drama.

A lot of people has written some review that this is a typical pretty boy scheme drama. After some thoughts, I decide to write something in the defense of the drama (I'm not trying to say others opinion are wrong, but I just want to share my opinion that I quite enjoy the drama). From the title itself, you may have already some idea of how it would be. Yes, it's about a girl, living next to a couple of good-looking guys, but that's not the main plot of the story (If you compare to Hana Yori Dango, or Cinderella and 4 Knights, I think these dramas are more typical). The main lead is a girl who afraid to be in contact with other people and stay inside of her apartment all the time. The story is light and funny. It's not complex at all. It's more of a comedy romance. All the side characters are very funny (personally I like the editor). There aren't many romance scenes that make your heart beating. But If you really like comedy romance, this drama is for you.

The story is too typical and too many loopholes as well... I try my best to keep on watching but I end up skipped a lot of eps and decide to drop it. The acting is also bad.... The story is boring as hell, nothing interesting at all. If you are a fan of Victoria (Fx), you might want to try it. But I think this drama does not worth the time to watch. A typical story of a mother who lost her child. The mother is living a life of luxury now. The stepdaughter became the love rival of the daughter.  A total waste of time with too many eps, and the characters are plain and without any brain to think smart.
