There were plenty of holes in this drama, and while the intentions were good, I was left expecting and the drama left me hanging.

The scripts were fantastically written. So many babies!! Each episode has a new storyline (a birth) as its central theme, so you get a complete "story" in each episode. Then, there is the cast. Such great acting! As the drama unfolded, I got to learn about many of the characters' back stories, so, over time, I started to care about them. The actors themselves did an amazing job and complemented each other well. What can I say about the main actor, Ayano Go? Not enough good things! I didn't know much about this actor (apparently, he's had small parts in some of my other dramas), but his acting in this drama was superb! As Dr. Kounodori/Baby, he was believable, and I developed a lot of empathy for him as a person...not to mention the way he treated his patients--like I said this character was very real, and very approachable. I look forward to watching more of his dramas, and those of other cast members.
The music was another wonderful aspect of this drama. Not only was the drama music soothing, the piano playing was amazing as well. This is one of those dramas where I would really like to own the OST--it'd be worth it.
Very important: There is a bit of a mystery in the last episode...something where I needed to do a bit of research. A cute piece of information I was able to discern by having eagle eyes. Good luck!
Lastly, and this is a biggie, be prepared to shed tears. This is a drama in a true sense of the word, with so many heart-breaking and heart-warming moments--sometimes both in each episode! I needed tissues for all 10 episodes! Really, this drama brings up so many emotions; it's just an overall feel-good series.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a second season!!!!

as for ACTING AND ACTOR.. i give a bit high score as that guy is cute.. hahah but still not worth it to watch whole 20 episode for him.. as for girl, they also did a good job on their character.
MUSIC, no comment bout it, not really pay attention to it,, actually didn't catch my attention at all.
REWATCH ?? oh i can't watch it again.. i just deleted the whole drama from my computer and my recycle bin..can't recover it..

STORY are good..not so many twist in the drama..but i like the plot..the drama are quite light where there not so many twist plot which usually are in 70 - 80 episode of the drama..but you won't get bored because because there are so many funny scene..we have 2 main couple in this drama..Vanness and Bobby couple..sorry to Vanness fan, but i actually love the 2nd main couple story more than Vanness story..
Bobby are so manly and handsome and cute in the drama compared to LOVE NOW drama which i rather find him a bit annoying there..hahaha but because of this drama, i think i fall for him..haha again ! and not to say that Bobby girlfriend are a bit dumb and annoying in this drama, but they just suited each other..and and not to mention that this couple kiss a lot more than Vanness couple !! haha but still, both main couple story actually are pretty sweet and cute..
ACTING/CAST. i'm a bit annoyed with vanness sometime in this drama.. but that's meant he really good with acting..because his character are a bit annoying and not really the cool macho manly type..which if compare with Bobby, also good actor (thumbs up with his acting), he really2 show you a manly handsome ideal guy..haha my taste..as for main girl, Joanne and Guo Shu Yao which are siblings in this drama, they did a good acting there..i always love Joanne since MAGICIANS OF LOVE (can't believe this drama aired 10 years ago)..for me she really a good actress..as for Guo Shu Yao, she always act for the same silly, cute, bubbly, and innocent character..
MUSIC..haha the song pretty good..but there are only 3 song in this drama..so it is quite repetitive..the music arrangement is okay for each scene..but because it is repetitive, so after 40 episode you will start to sing along with it..huhu
as for REWATCH, maybe i will when i get unemployed and got nothing to do for the whole month.. or else who's going to repeat the whole 80 episode again..haha maybe i will, but after some time when i get really bored..but not now since there are tons of new korean and taiwan drama to watch.

Why do those rich kids and families really underestimate others like that? It does not make sense. Is it still a saeguk era? with kings and concubines? hahahahah. I really dislike how the chairman tried to control his maid's daughter life. LIKE HE IS SO POWERFUL AND ALL!! Ask her to cut ties with his son, blackmailing her, if i were her i will just report it to the police. I will just study hard to become successful, get scholarship, don't need his support. Dun need to study at the awful school like that. Cheee!!!
I just hate everything about this drama and i just realized that the writer of this drama is the same with secret garden, DOTS, no wonder i hate the storyline so much, i could not bring myself to watch this rubbish. I dropped it.

Was it worth it: Yes.
What I liked the most: Ryu Joon Yeol’s character. I share a few of the same traits as him. Also his hands.
What I disliked the most: The best friend characters were a bit much at times.
Moment Meter: 8/10 – Lots of great moments. After a recent drought, this was the storm I was looking for.
Other thoughts: The beginning was great. I loved the situation that expired during the full moon and the story in general. Some moments were a bit too slow and lost some steam towards the end. Lee Soo Hyuk went for a softer role this time, which I enjoyed. A good amount of romance. Ryu Joon Yeol’s looks have their moments of good looking, and not-so-good-looking. Generally I like him. It was a very easy drama to watch. Would I watch it again? Not anytime soon, but maybe after a good amount of time has passed.
Conclusion: A very good light romantic comedy. There aren’t enough of these coming out these days. :\

The Story: As someone who is constantly updated with upcoming dramas, the premise of the story already had me hooked immediately. I'm a total fan of anything supernatural like time travel, superpowers, ghosts (in their most fun sense), etc so this drama is an addition to my list of must-watch dramas. I can very much say that I live most of life in the dramas and books that I watched and read. So having W portray what happens to my favorite hero when he actually came to life felt like a fangirl's dream coming true. I will not dwell much on how the plot unfolds because, surely, there are no words to describe what happens in the drama. You just have to see things for yourself. Just be sure to be ready for a roller coaster ride. This is unpredictable and way beyond words that I am capable of using to describe it.
Really, the drama is well executed despite having the complicated premise and scenes in both the real and manhwa world. I admire the director and staff for being able to realize a convoluted two worlds in this drama. It's really a stretch to shoot scenes with this kind of setup and they were able to do a good job.
The only fault I think there is in W is that it was soooo good in almost all episodes that the expectations have climbed sky high. Everything has been laid out and no new tricks were played so it became a bit flat towards the end. Despite that, I treat those times as the calm before the storm.
The Cast: Well. Well. Well. I can't believe just how amazing Lee Jong-suk is in his role as Kang Chul. I don't find him handsome, handsome but everytime he winks, smiles, and stares, I just die and fan myself just like Yeo-joo. I can surely say that being a cool manhwa character suits him well.
I love Han Hyo-joo in almost everything so there's not much to say. Most of the time, I can feel her acting the way I would in case I met Kang Chul. Her character, Oh Yeon-joo, is the perfect example of a fangirl who loves her idol through and through. I feel happy and sad with her with whatever she's going through.
Yeon-joo's father is so good as a loving father and a creator who wants to kill off his main character for going against him. He played such intense emotions for the drama and I want to credit him for making W a more suspenseful drama.
What's difficult with the set up in W is that we have two worlds that needs our attention. So the supporting characters in each of the worlds felt limited. When we are in the real world, I miss the manhwa characters and vice versa. Kang Chul and Yeo-joo takes most of the screentime, though I don't really mind. Really.
Ps. I love Soo Bong. He's hilarious!
The Music: I'm not good in this aspect but what I love about W is that they don't use that much background music during the scenes. There's no really need for W to rely with background music to pull emotions from the viewers. The intensity of the scenes unfolding is already enough to take the emotions out of me.
Rewatch Value: I watched through previous episodes while waiting for the next episode so there's no fault in its rewatch value. I was at the point where I thought that I should hold the drama until it was finished. I'll just rewatch everything now that it's complete.
Overall: The drama is amazing. Indescribable. Heart-stopping. Intense. (Off to the dictionary for more adjectives to describe the show!). And despite the craziness, I am unconditionally in love, hooked, and invested. It was a tough ride and there were a lot of ups, downs, and flats but that's just how love is, no?
Why did I rate it 9.5? That's the payment for breaking my heart countless times then forcing it to be fixed. Haha. Honestly, maybe it's because I was expecting something before the show leave me but didn't get it. I still love the show nevertheless. A drama like this is hard to come by

If it weren't for Ji Sung, I wouldn't stick through this. Anyways, I still enjoyed the story of the other characters. I like Chae Jung-Ahn's character the most. Also, Yun-soo's struggle as a single dad trying to live his passion while making a living foe his son is what really sold to me. I enjoyed the daily relationship among the band members and didn't care much about the drama on how the entertainment industry works.
To the show's credit, there were a lot of fun times and it proved that no matter how much obstacles people face, one can overcome them to fulfill a person's dream.

At this point I may be already biased in judging this drama objectively. I won't tell you guys to go watch this if you haven't done it yet. It's not possible for everyone to like or love it (what kind of drama can actually do that). It's also not perfect, I admit that. But despite all that I was highly entertained and mesmerized by this one and have a hard time containing my fangirling over this.
Is it truly this awesome? Yes, for me it was. It's like Healer in sageuk style. Not much similarity but the same charm that will capture your heart. The same way Ji Chang Wook convinced and bewitched me, the same way did Lee Joon Gi. Before starting their dramas I had either never heard of them before or didn't complete a drama with them yet. So, I was walking into this drama without a fangirling heart for the leads but ended up getting one.
Not much to tell about the story since the summary is already saying everything, although it's not quite accurate and a little misleading (as summaries always are, imo). But see for yourself if you start this drama.
What I liked about The Night Scholar was in fact the story-telling. The impressive and shocking beginning, the introduction of the characters, the way new events were unfolding and leading to new plot twists... and most of all it seemed like the drama always knew what I wanted to see next. The writer(s) should be complimented for giving me that kind of feeling (of a fangirl that doesn't care for logic but only wants to have her way with the characters) and still make the story work properly and logically.
As I mentioned before Lee Joon Gi was impressive and found his way into my heart. His display of the vampire Kim Sung Yeol was great. His turmoil, his growing love, his overcoming over his past love...
The other characters grew on me, too. Kim So Eun was great in portraying two different characters, esp. the conflict of her second role here. Shim Chang Min and Lee Soo Hyuk did a solid job of their roles as the Crown Prince and the evil vampire Gwi, and the supporting actors also did their parts well. Not outstanding but a solid, (most times) convincing performance.
The reason I didn't give this a 10 is simply because there were times when I wasn't fully convinced with the fights. For a mystery drama the special effects were really good. But as for some battles and confrontations... sometimes they looked a little too staged and/or forced. No matter how much I enjoyed this drama I couldn't overlook those parts as they were continuously knocking against my head. But on the other hand big compliment to the make-up artists. They did a great job with all the blood, the look of the vampires and everything else (esp. the ugly duck turning into a swan scene).
Putting that aside... Let's talk about the music. Great plus as most times in sageuks! Harmonizing with the story and making the scenes look even more emotional. I'm already in love with the OST.
Phew... looks like I still got to say all the things I wanted to tell, haha~ Hope, you enjoyed this review (although it got quite long...), despite the fact that it might sound biased.
Ohhh, wait! Before we go on with our lives... Can someone please admire the scholar's garbs?

Finally, I made some time to watch this series (long overdue I know) and I can clap for plot, acting, music, and all wonderful production!
I am still amazed how talented JS is to switch form one personality to another (and love all of them) is simply pure talent! Amazing! Brilliant! Perfection!
If you have not watch KMHM yet, you should watch it asap. I waited too long!
I have to admit, the best drama watched by Ji Sung is "Secret" for me, but this one is right after!
I cant not say enough about this series because I want you to watch it and judge yourself that is why I am not saying no more except - I loved it!..... now it's your turn to love it too.
