Story: 8/10 because it was very predictable, but it still a lot of fun despite of it. I wished there was more action scenes, because it doesn't have a lot of action despite being a supernatural drama. But the love between the leads actually felt realistic despite the superficial feel the drama has.
Acting: 9/10 because I was enjoying a lot of the characters! Danson Tang as Roy was good. Despite having his voice dubbed in the original version(everyone else's voices were dubbed the Mandarin version), it wasn't annoying like some of the other Hong Kong/China dramas. Wai Michelle was very good of convincing me that Hei Lam was a sweet, nice person to her friends. I'm glad that she is accepting to the supernatural side of people around her. The chemistry between Danson & Michelle was great. I also really liked Yin Terrance as George & the fox goddess(don't know the actress's name or the characters's name right on top of my head). George loves to tease Roy about feeling again. He is very sexy also(let me just say XD) The Fox Goddess was adorable too and fun to watch her do her thing. The second female lead is a mean, cunning & dense character!!! GRRRR!!! Love Hei Lam's friend from school.
Music: 7/10 because I barely remember the music, but remembered that it was good enough to fit the scenes.
Re-watch value: 8/10 because despite the superfical feeling that I get from this drama, it was still very enjoyable. It has some funny moments.
Overall, if you like the supernatural romance(vampires in perticular), the cast or Hong Kong dramas in general, then you should try it.

Story: 9/10 because the story was inspirational, hopeful & fun despite the heavy topics mentioned in the drama. They balance the happy moments with the heavy moments. I'm glad that there was a hint of romance in this drama, but was not the main plot line. You rarely get romance dramas that don't get a main plot line anymore. The drama was very realistic about pressure & life. The ending will surprise you.
Acting: 10/10 because the acting was amazing. Despite being 3 episode drama, I was very invested with the characters including the moms! I love the chemistry between Cha Shik & his mother. It's rare in drama land where the mother-son combo are very close in a relationship. I also like the dynamic between Yoo Seul & her mother despite not being close because her being a prodigy. I also like that Kim So Hyun has chemistry with not only Ji Soo & Ye Ji Won, but with her second lead co-star Shin Jae Ha as well. The character Yoo Seul is interesting. Despite being introverted, she can be sassy & fun if she lets anyone into her life. There was some good development despite being 3 episodes long and that's rare to pull off.
Music: 9/10 because the classical music choices were very enjoyable to listen to. The fact that I was a violin player and played some piano since elementary school made me relate to the 3 main characters even more.
Re-watch value: 9/10 because despite the heavy topics mentioned in the drama, it was heart-felt & easy to watch.
Overall, it's heavy melodrama with a hopeful message to everyone that you can find your passion and re-kindle your passion no matter the circumstances that life throws at you.

Story: 7.5/10 because it had a very strong start! It would of been the best drama of the year if they took a different turn from what was given. Some of the sub plots felt rushed, but was interesting. I'm glad the drama had a faster pace to it. It was a very realistic slice-of-life romance drama about 2 college students who started dating despite their many flaws & the people who were against it. The story felt original until the second half. The subplots, despite some of them were rushed, were realistic as well.
Cast: 9.5/10 because it was the best part of the drama and the characters wanted me to watch more. Kim Go Eun did an amazing job as Hong Seol. She was very realistic & I was able to relate to her so much. She was the best character in the drama. Yoo Jung(Park Hae Jin) was an enigma, dark, mysterious, but interestingly adorable character. I had fun with being cautious with liking him as a character. I haven't seen a drama or movie with this type of character. He's cold, but lovable. He's character was realistic as well, flaws and all. I also enjoyed In Ho as a character too. I really liked that he was friends with Hong Seol through thick and thin. I love Eun Taek & Bora so much. They had cute chemistry & loved their friendship with not only Seol, but with each other. The chemistry between Go Eun & Hae Jin was amazing. I like the chemistry between In Ho & In Ha despite being very distant to each other. In Ha would of been more of an interesting character if the writers wrote more scenes. Lee Sung Kyung was good as In Ha.
Music: 8/10 I really liked most of the music in the drama, but some were not as memorable.
Re-watch value: 8/10 because despite the conspiracy, I really liked the character development. Love the friendship, the family moments, realistic story-line & the romance between Yoo Jung & Hong Seol.
Overall, it was a good drama that would of been the best drama of the year if the drama team kept withe the original script. If you are going to watch this drama & know the conspiracy, then be very open minded about the realistic story line, the chemistry between the cast, the comedy & the friendship that happen in this drama.

Story: 8/10 because it was a very easy to watch & refreshing with the the combo. It's not enough for a lot of character development, but it was enough to really like the characters despite their flaws. Despite the cliches, it was somewhat refreshing.
Acting: 8.5/10 because the characters pulled me in & wanted me to be interested in their characters despite being only 6 episodes long. Kai was a huge surprise to me. I've only seen him act as a cameo in EXO Next Door, but he improved a lot since then. There was one scene where I truly astonished with how Kai handle the scene. Eun Bin was really cute as Choco.
Music: 7/10 because it was cute, but don't want to listen to all the time.
Re-watch Value: 8/10 because it was easy to watch. If I was waiting for a new drama to come or waiting for an airing episode to come, I would re-watch this drama.
Overall, if you are looking for an easy paced, easy to watch drama, then it's for you. If you are watching it for Kai, you'll be surprised. It's not too big on the business aspect, but it does teach you a couple of things about it. It would be cool if people have a cafe like this in the real world.

Story: 6/10 because the main plot was very slow to the point of frustration!! I was actually liking the 2nd leads' (Worranit & Sarasathapheng) story better because it was going along & they were so cute together. Then both stories because slow out of frustration. But it got better once they get to the core to each story. There was a twist in the main couple(Jirakit & Wiraporn) story that I found interesting. Can't tell without spoiling so I won't. If the main story was a little faster, then the story would score higher. But despite the slowness of story line, it was very cute & still came back for more.
Acting: 7/10 because it was the best thing about the drama was the acting. It was nothing groundbreaking but it was enough to like them. Worranit played Sanrak as a native woman who is too forgiving. It's a good trait to have, but it got to the point it got annoying, but liking her in the second half of her story. Wiraporn played Sandee a woman who due to circumstances has decided to keep a secret & not tell anyone. But it took so long that I screamed at the poor innocent screen. The people in the drama that I liked most were Na(Sarasathapheng), the brother of Sandee & Sanrak(Korawit) & Jane(unknown actress name) & couple of Sandee's friends. Jirakit played Thada pretty good, but nothing groundbreaking. His character worked harder than anyone else. He tried to make everyone work. The family chemistry was the best part of the drama.
Music: 6/10 because the theme song was good, but it droned me out after a while. There was a couple of other songs & I don't really remember.
Re-watch value: 5/10 because it was a roller coaster of a story, but not a good way to me. If you like it, then that's your opinion.
Overall, you should watch it if you want to see the actors/actresses, rom-com dramas & want to watch something cute, then you should watch it. But be cautiously excited to watch it.

I can't stop listening to OST and crying over them T_T
I really wish if I could forget this entire show and re-watch it again!
The main story is good, the drama catched me from the first episode, (I saw till 4 then stopped according to exams, then completed it all in a week xD) but some where at the 20s it got really boring >< anyways, if you forced yourself a little bit more, you'll find that this drama deserves!
The focus on the main story started at near episode 36 or so, and from there on, this drama is incredible! (and also tear-jerker T_T)
I loved the characters, my favorites are the brothers Dong-Chul and Dong-Wook
even though in the middle Dong-Wook started to annoy me, but I understood him and sympathized with him till the end
The music! oh don't even mention it, it is amazing!! I really care for ost when watching dramas, and this one has a really good combination of them. I specially like Fate Reverse by SG Wannabe, actually I am listening to it almost every day since the 4th episode of the show xD
re-watch value is low since I don't re-watch dramas usually + this drama is really long!
also I didn't heal yet from watching it T_T I'm sensitive person who got emotionally attached so easily, so this drama was kind of shock to me ^^" but I won't tell you to throw all this journey because of the ending, give it a try!

Kindaichi Kosuke vs. Akechi Kogoro
2 pessoas acharam esta resenha útil
This is a Tenpatsu, literally a 'one-shot' drama made for tv, not for the cinema big screen. It feels a lot like a theatrical piece, with a stage-like set and clear-cut, almost cartoonish characters.
Once forewarned, you can approach this movie and actually enjoy it. Kindaichi Kosuke and Akechi Kogoro are two famous detectives created by the pens of two equally famous writers. You'll immediately recognize all the elements of a 'whodunit' thriller, with an overly complicated crime, a lot of hints given to the public, oblivious police inspectors and an amateur detective who complicates things before gathering all the possible culprits for the final revelation.
The plot is intriguing and the solution of the case is at the same time unpredictable and deducible if you pay attention to the hints. There's also a funny twist which I thought elevated the story by half a point.
If you like the genre, you'll like this little movie, which comes with the bonus of a pleasing cast and quite a lot of humour. Both Yamashita and Ito Hideaki play their respective roles very well, with easy flippancy and a good dose of self-irony. We are also introduced to the future recurring characters, among which an adorable little girl who serves as improbable governess and secretary of Kindaichi.
The music - extremely forgettable - adds to the comic... I hope intentionally so.
The movie can be rewatched, provided one has forgotten the plot. So, depending on the strength of your memory, in 5 to 10 years.

Story: 8/10 because it is actually pretty cliche, but the way the cliches were handled were so refreshing that it didn't feel cliched at all. The only part of the story that I didn't like is that the seconds leads were only one dimensional characters. I wished that they developed them a little bit more.
Acting: 10/10 because everyone brought their character to life. I felt that Hye Soo, Ji Hoon & Eun Sung were a real family to a point, that sometimes, I had to look away for a bit because they were having the time of their lives & felt like I was looking in on them. I give props to the actors and actresses in the drama. Especially Uee(Hye Soo) because this is the first time that she gave it all to her character and it showed in her acting. I seen her in a few projects and she was good, but I think this is her breakout role in her career. I laughed, smiled and cried with her. I felt the same was with Lee Seo Jin(Ji Hoon). I was seeing that he truly starting to fall for Hye Soo & Eun Sung. Ji Hoon's father was just evil!!!! I'm glad he got the ending he got. The second leads weren't written very much in the drama, so I couldn't really sympathy for their situation because of how undeveloped they were. I really hated Jung Hoon because he was very immature; at the same time, I understand why he acted the way he did. There was amazing family chemistry between the main leads. The chemistry between the leads felt realistic. It builds up as you continue watching it.
Music: 9/10 because it really fit the scenes very well. I would get a couple of the songs from the soundtrack & listen to it.
Re-watch Value: 7/10 because there were moments where I cried a river even though there were lots of humor & light hearted moments. Bring tissues just in case.
Overall, I really loved this drama. If you are hesitant to watch the drama, then bring tissues with you just in case. There are moments where you get some laughs & smiles on your face. Have fun watching(if you are)!!

Usually, you would expect AT LEAST from the pilot first episode, some kind of "urgency" to give the viewers the motivation to look after a TV Show or drama. But there is nothing like this in this pitiful drama, only saved by the acting and actors, which are by the way incredibly effective to make the characters as unlikeable as possible (not their fault, I think it's all part of something supposedly called a "scenario" which is missing here). But that alone can't hide the previously mentionned invisible scenario, rhythmed by the worst piece of occidentally cloned music I've ever heard (and given that the original occidental piece is already horrible, that's not helping). Believe me, the music alone get me wondering why I was struggling to continue watching this drama till it ends, painfully.Maybe it's all part of the project, with some kind of high level dark humor, but in this case, it's totally missing its point.
Ah right, I almost forgot : humor. Sometimes, the drama intends to look like a comedy, with bad jokes and grotesque effort to make us laugh, all included.

Xiang Bei is a deaf but successful executive workin in a top company. Due to what happen 20years ago and the tragic death of his mother his life mission is to seek revenge and claim back what rightfully belongs to the Lu family under the urge of his maternal grandfather. But this plan became difficult and complicated when Yi Nian enter his life. Yi Nian is the daughter of his enemy but her kind, cheerful and straight forward personality despite himself finds himself drawn to her. Yi Nian is someone who values love and accepts people readily. But she's no push over and you see her challenging Xiang Bei in many instances.
I find I really like how opposite Xiang Bei and yi Nian is. Yi Nian's existence is like a light to his pretty sad and miserable life. She was the balm to his emotional suffering. She would speak out what she could see through his cold exterior and tendency of holding secrets and pain. She accepted his deafness and treated him with no difference. In fact in her subtle way she encouraged him to accept himself. There's quite a number of scenes and her confession which I find touching. I must say I love the lamps she designed.
This drama is not without faults and require heavy self-editing to improve your viewing experience. I had to dig deep into my patience before finding good memorable scenes between our two leads starting from ep 10,11,13 & 15. My self editing means skipping scenes of business rivalry, scenes of extreme hatred or characters I don't like. I focus on interaction between Xiang Bei and Yi Nian, Xiang Bei with his mum, Yi Nian with her best friend and her best friend's own love relationship. That means keeping my fingers on the cursor and able to finish the drama in 2.5 days.
Acting wise is passable. I find their chemistry linger at 80% max. Could have been better. But the love story between then I like. And I thk with the exception of him jumping into the water to rescue her, no cliche scenes of stumbling and accidental kiss. In fact I kind of feel the drama requires a bit more kiss scenes for my romantic side. All in all I enjoyed it. I love the dancing scene, the catch a movie scene, and some of their conversations that still lingers in my mind after the drama has ended. Give this a chance but do some self editing...

To start off, I have never seen Kim Tae Hwan in drama land and it turns out that he's actually a model. Wouldn't be too surprised, considering his height and chiseled, nice face. He's become one of my latest heart throbs, but at last, there were a few flaws in his acting I couldn't overlook with him playing Xue Ling Xiao, the monster...
Such as his hair, he looks so much better with his hair styled back...the hair just didn't suit him. A bit of a waste of his handsome face to be honest. Since it is his debut in acting, he still has a lot to learn. Many times, I couldn't tell his true emotions and motives, such as if he really loved Tian Jing Zhi in the earlier episodes or if he was just using her. His acting was a bit bland and has a lot of room for improvement. I didn't know if they cast him specifically because he'd be playing a 500-year-old monster who probably has no emotions and doesn't express them very well but that would make sense. But comparing him to Kim Soo Hyun from My Love From A Distant Star, I'd definitely say that Kim Soo Hyun spectacularly pulled off his role better.
Wu Qian played Tian Jing Zhi well. She was energetic, cheerful, and funny. My favourite scenes of hers are when she got drunk and actually spoke what her heart really wanted to say. It was pretty touching and cute. There were just a few times I feel like Tian Jing Zhi messed up and I couldn't feel sorry for her...but she did end up developing as a character and maturing and understanding the ways of life near the end.
The side story/mystery of this drama was in my opinion, very predictable. (Because who else could the murderer really be??) I wasn't hooked by the mystery, but the cute romance. The execution of the mystery was still enjoyable though because it was the main cause of the cute rescue scenes, and the mystery reveals Xue Ling Xiao's backstory near the end of the drama.
Speaking of the ending, though it was a bit rushed and I seriously wish they make a second season! Overall, I did enjoy this drama a lot because I'm a huge sucker for cute romances and it didn't fail to satisfy my needs.
