This was one of the best dramas to be released in the most recent years. It consisted of 16 episodes which I felt were a perfect amount. The drama didn't get repetitive and it provided a lot of tense scenes. The director utilized plot twists very well and used misunderstandings moderately which is a positive.

The story is a very original concept. It's not the cliche "rich snobby man meets humble girl" storyline, and it's also not an thriller/action that doesn't make sense. The director incorporates the tiniest of details into the plot and uses flashbacks to develop the story even further. The characters in the story show an exceptional amount of development especially Jang Tae San. Every episodes ends with a shocking cliffhanger that definitely wants you to keep watching. The dramatic-irony of the drama doesn't irritate you like a lot of dramas might. I'd say the only negative aspect, which doesn't really involve the story, is the melodrama between In Hye and Soo Jin.

The acting and cast, however, do not have any flaws. Scenes were made to be very believable, reaction wise, and I feel each role was chosen well. I especially want to applaud Lee Chae Mi (Seo Soo Jin). She's one of the best child actors I've ever watched. Her scenes were very believable and amazing. Many of the supporting roles were well-played as well which I think is surprising. The cast was variant and large which makes the drama even better.

Now dramas usually don't go wrong with music and Two Weeks didn't negate this idea. The music really enhanced the experience of the drama and the theme "Run" - Nell matches the dramas overall tone.

Overall, I'd give this drama 10. One of the main themes of the drama is about making the right choices. I want to quote Mr. Han, one of the supporting characters, when he says "There's no such thing as a life without regrets." By saying this, the message Two Weeks emphasizes is that there are things you do in your past that you may regret, but what matters is how you correct those past choices in the present, given decisions you're provided with. It's impossible to live life without regretting something, so fix what you feel indebted to. Live your life with meaning and fulfillment, as well as have a goal in mind. This is the moral that I've pulled from the story, and I feel that it teaches many other important themes.

City Hunter is known to be one of the most exhilarating (yet well-paced) dramas. With the action and romance, the story is packed full of interesting situations between the characters. After seeing the first episode, I could not stop watching in order to see what happens next.

The cast was chosen perfectly for this drama. With Park Min Young and Lee Min-ho as the hero/heroine combo (who eventually started dating each other for a little while), the drama was very appealing. Not to forget that they also enhanced the appeal to the drama with their good looks. The cast even consisted of big names at the lesser-yet-still-important roles, such as Goo Hara, Chun Hojin, and Lee Kwang-soo. The music used was also quite appealing. Songs by Jonghyun (of SHINee), Rainbow, Girl's Day, Kim Bo Young, and Gyuri (of KARA) definitely drew me in.

Although I won't say what it is, the one thing that disappointed me about this drama was the ending. After finishing this intense and awesome drama, the ending just felt rushed or unfinished. It just didn't fit all the character development that occurred throughout the story.

Ending is a big part of a drama, therefore I give City Hunter an 8. I really did like City Hunter, but I wasn't completely satisfied with it.

I don't know why people hate on this drama so much. Despite the series dragging on a little from episodes 10-14, the story was amazing. There was a lot of symbolism they used and the story had great cliffhangers. Many people write reviews saying the ending was confusing or was stupid; however, it's a very deep and meaningful ending. It takes true knowledge of literary aspects to appreciate it. Many dramas these days always have very shallow or cliche endings. Not this one though.

They chose a good set of actors for this drama. Some superb acting I've seen out of all the 59 dramas/movies I've watched. Gong Yoo definitely had a BIG part (hah, puns) in being a 30 year old man pretending to be around 18.

The music was also a good selection. Some big names such as Davichi, Beast, and Huh Gak are presented in this drama. The artists alone would tempt me to watch a drama.

If you enjoy symbolism and pieces that involve the slightest amount of thinking, then I recommend this drama to you. The ending is definitely worth it if you enjoy those aspects.

This drama was truly fantastic. Casting featured some of the greatest actors. The first couple episodes featuring Kim So Hyun and Yeo Jin Goo were the greatest tear jerkers ever. I don't normally cry watching dramas, but this one had me on the verge of tears.

As for the overall story, it was lacking at times, and by lacking I mean it had too much. Too much melodrama. Later in the series, I felt like they were crying every scene, and there was very little comic relief to break up the melodrama. Every incident resulted in a crying scene. However, the cliffhangers really make you come back. Despite this, there weren't many symbols or deeper meanings to the story, disregarding the theme of course.

Music was decent. The soundtrack contained some good ballads, but nothing flashy.

This drama had a very cliche, yet interesting concept to it. The romance is definitely played out and spaced well. I especially loved Kim Sarang-Yoon Sang Hyun relationship. I felt that story was really interesting. However, at times I was a little disappointed.

Overall, the story does go full circle. It explains what it NEEDS to; however, there were minor instances that should have been better. In fact, sometimes they just didn't make sense (I don't want to give examples as they would be spoilers). Speaking from a literary lens, there were a lot of plot holes and things left unexplained.

The acting was decent. It wasn't great, but wasn't terrible. Ha Ji Won isn't THAT great of an actor, but she did have her instances where she really shined. When she cried, she had me on the verge of tears. Don't forget the body switching either. They would have to play the part of the other person which was very good. The rest of the main cast (as well as the minor/supporting) had a good fit (although I wish Jay Park was to be in it as originally planned :(..)

You normally can't go wrong with the music in a drama. SBS/Secret Garden staff did not fail to execute. "That Man" was a very catchy tune, as well as some of Yoon Sang Hyun's songs. I even downloaded the OST because I liked a good portion of the songs.

I'm not one of those people that judges a drama based on how much it makes them cry, the actors chosen, or something ridiculous like that. There were many small things that were left unanswered. The only questions answered were the big points (Gil Raim's father, etc.) The plot is a decent/very cliche body swapping drama.
Overall, I give it a 7. I'd say it was a very mediocre - almost good drama.
