I give the story an 8 because it's a bit expected, but there are scenes that are carefully placed within the movie that really grab and add to how hard you will sob when watching this movie.
The acting I will have to give a 10 because of the little girl who, in all honesty, made the whole movie. Her acting was so real that you could feel her pain, just watching her made your heart ache.
I watched this awhile ago, but the music isn't memorable but it isn't distracting either. It helps create the mood, and doesn't overshadow the movie.
I gave this an overall 10 because I watched this movie on a Korean airlines plane, in broad daylight among many other passengers and still managed to shamefully sob because the movie really does break your heart. It's especially fun to watch a stranger watch this movie next to you and laugh when they try so hard to not cry. This movie will stay with you, I suggest it to anyone who doesn't mind crying a bit.

the cast is superb. han shin bi (the kid) is probably the most adorable kid i've ever seen. (@_@) the lead is pair is refreshing and cute...i love how impetuous and cute they are. and how their circumstances had them fall in love...
the drama is fast-paced and every episode is very exciting. jung se jin is a fabulous character...its wonderful how she changes from a clumsy loud-mouthed, immature girl to a responsible , stern, and caring-indulgent mother...eugene did an awesome job as jung se jin. han seung wan is another cool character.
the music is fun, catchy and happy.
the ending, on the other hand is unprecedented...the sudden twist of fate...i literally cried my eyes out in the last few episodes...
but dont be mistaken my tragic-movie/drama-hating friends the end is not sad so u can continue watching without being worried. :)
i personally encourage u to watch this drama as in my opinion it is pretty wholesome...although it was pretty unrealistic in certain bits..(but whats a drama without some drama, hey?) it has family, romance, comedy, (a certain extent of tragedy) and lots of drama :)

The story is precise, unusual, cute, (and pretty cheesy in bits and pieces). the main character is vivacious, interesting and really funny. theres not one bit that you would want to fast forward. theres also no main bad guy...every body has their own light and dark...
for me what really made this drama into must watch was lee da hae...she made it look so easy..! her acting was brilliant and he made you fall in love with her unusual character...who is a swindling dishonest cheat.
the lead pair is amazing..really cute and totally loveable! their romace is subtle, well-done and enjoyable. all the lead actors are pretty good looking (if its d eye-candy quotient ur worried about)
the story gets mad, hillarious, sad and happy from time to time.
so ur in for a bumpy ride! enjoy!
xxx :)

After I've watched the 1st episode I couldnt wait to watch the rest & I cant wait to see the ending because I have NO idea how it's going to end.
If I were to pick a drama by the title, this drama wouldn't be my first choice. I think, BIG is not something that attracts people.
-The cast is really good. You can really feel with the characters.
Gong Yoo is doing an awsome job of portrating a guy with mental age of 18 that is stuck in a body of a 30 something years old. At first I didn't like that he's the lead male, but after I watched a few more episodes I couldn't ask for a better one. His acting is really hilarious and matches the one of 18 year old. It's my first time watching him in a drama and I'll deff watch more dramas with him.
-Shin Won Ho. I really fell in love with him after episode one. He really caugh my attention with his acting and I was really disappointed when I realized I wont be seeing him in the drama more. He was really convincing & gave of that cool feeling. Even tho he kinda acts tough on the outside, from his acting, we can see that Kang Kyung Joon is actually scared on the inside. I really want to see him in more dramas as a lead actor.
-Min Jung is playing a teacher that is, in my opinion, really in love with Yoon Jae. SHe's really dense because, she's blinded by her love that doesnt realize that Seo Yoon wasn't faithful. We can clearly see that he has something goin on with that doctor, SeYoung. In my opinion, when he went to see her in ep 1, he was going to tell her that he was leaving her. Min Jung is, I think really suited for the character, and even though many wanted Suzy to be the main, I think Min Jung is better for this part.
-Suzy, well, she's I think Kyung Joon's girlfriend back in America. I don't quite get what happened between them so he doesn't want to see her. I think Suzy's cahracter is really funny in the drama and suits her really well. It's annoying at times but gives a refreshing string to the drama. Somewhat, remindes me of Go Hye Mi in Dream High.
-The rest of the cast is really good too. I like Gil Da Ra's brother, he's really funny, and I liked the way he flirted with MaRi:P The parents, I like them too, but I think in every drama that I've watched so far, the mother is always goofy and funny while the dad is more serious :P
Music is okay, ballads mostly, it's enjoying. It's not something I would listen to everyday, but I really liked the OSTs. Esp the BEAST one. It matches the story.
Re-watch value. Well, I don't usually re-watch dramas no matter how good they are. But yeah, it's something that I would watch after sometime. Well, maybe not the whole episodes but the parts that really left impressions on me. It gives a good laugh in every episode, no exeptions.
Over all, I give it a 9. Everything is put together nicely. It very enterteining and something that you should DEFFINAELY watch no matter what age you are.

At the beginning I was surprised about the stupidity of Pal Gang, that actually was very funny, but she started to grow up and it was interesting to watch how that happened.
This drama shows how hard life can become, but if you don't give up, you can get through everything. The strengh of people in this drama is amazing.
Some parts of this drama were very sad, some made me angry, but in some ways the story of this drama seems perfect. It's innocent, yet somehow naughty, but in a very pure way. It's stupid, yet genius. The romance is passionate and nice. From this drama you can learn a lot.

Each episode deals with a different case, and there isn't really much of a multi-episode arc. It's fun to watch Joseon-era crime solving techniques. Now, whether or not those are true to the period, I don't know, but it was good, old fashion sleuthing. A couple of cases seemed similar, but they were different enough to be entertaining. One case, though, actually gave me nightmares the night I watched because the culprit was especially creepy and calculating.
There are also plenty of laughs, and a hint of romance in the drama. Not much, but it's there.
The cast was great. Everything was well acted. Creepers were creepy, entitled jerks acted like douchebags, and rarely did tears seemed forced.
The only song I remember (intro and outro) did start to get on my nerves around the 5th episode, though.

People who want to have action and an amazing story which is not really connected to the world where we live will be disappointed.
However I loved how realistic it was. From beginning to end I was excited, shocked and realised that just little things can change a whole matter, your whole life, your character and surrounding.
This drama has a really good ending.
The acting was amazing.
The music fits really good.
... and I will rewatch it to unterstand it better.
Money can drive people crazy and these nine episodes are the proof.

Since this was my first T-drama, I didn't know any of the actors from beforehand. To me, this drama was depended more on its story than on the acting. At times, I felt that Aaron Yan's acting was slightly emotionless. Despite this, I think that all of the actors involved did an decent job portraying their characters. I felt that with the actors, there was an authenticity in conveying emotion which I think sometimes is hard to do.
It is not one of those dramas where you have to watch the episodes in order to understand the story. That is because each episode deals with a character as a central focus. Keep in mind, there are a couple of episodes bind together due to the characters that are involved. To understand Du's (Death Girl) motive for everything, you have to watch in order.
I can see myself watching this drama in the future.
Even though i can't identity the music, it made the drama that much better. The music parallels to the emotion of the characters. Sometimes there are turns within the music that lead me on but did the opposite of my expectations. I loved how the natural sounds within the filming locale are used to the drama's advantage.
This drama puts a focus on real life issues. After watching each episode, I wanted to watch the next. It focuses on the "Why" the characters resort to drastic measures. The drama also points out how the characters' choices are up to them not fate, and how their choices have a domino effect on the other characters.
I really liked that near the end, they gave us the backstory to Du. However, in the story featuring Du Ji, I felt that there was something missing. I think it's because his story was left with a couple loose ends. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending of the drama. This is not because of what happens but more of how everything comes full circle.
All in all, I thought that this was a very good drama. All of the expectations that I had when I started this went out the window after the first episode. And this drama left me wanting more.

Story- It’s about loss, finding love through that loss, and forgiveness. Really well written in that, the writers managed to balance the love-lines and boxing theme. There wasn’t a single episode where I felt bored and the episodes flew by fast. There were some things that I didn’t like about the story though. This includes all the scenes involving the CF President (obsessed with the female lead character) and also all the angst in the second half of the drama. I really really wish they had only a few episodes where the main female character can’t forgive the male lead character. You have to make it through to the very end before forgiveness/reconciliation occurs. The ending wasn’t bad but it was kind of disappointing for what the writers made us go through with all that angst.
Acting/Characters- Shin Min Ah was perfect and her character development was interesting. She starts out as a likable character but halfway through her character changes physically and emotionally, and not for the better. And Can I just say how awesome Joo Jin Mo is?! He is a versatile and phenomenal actor. I’ve seen him in so many things and this character is just so different and out of the box for him. I seriously loved his character because you could tell he loved the main female so much and my heart kept breaking for him during all the scenes the main female character showed her hatred for him. The other main male actor (who seriously is no rival) was just awful. His lack of acting skills and the fact that the writers made his character so unlikable just made his scenes (unfortunately he has a lot) unbearable to watch. His character wasn’t even that evil but he had no redeeming qualities and I had no sympathy for him at all. I mean he doesn’t even give up the female lead till the very end! He is pathetic and just a worthless character who didn’t offer anything to the drama. On a different note, the supporting cast was perfect. I liked that the writers gave the supporting cast prominent roles and I enjoyed the love triangles of the female lead’s 2 female friends.
Music- Matching angsty music but also has Christina Augielera’s “Stronger” as a running theme which matches the boxing theme of the show.
Rewatch- I am going to rewatch this cause the acting was really good but not for a couple years cause of the high angst.
Overall Punch plays like an extended top quality sports movie. Whether you like sports themed dramas or not you will be able to watch this. Your enjoyment of the drama might dwindle towards the last quarter though, because the female lead character becomes really unlikable and there are misunderstandings and too much angst!

So I rated this movie so high because I really wasn't expecting to like it, but by the end I was bawling like a baby, and any film that can do that is a good one in my books.
