Reviews

This drama was wonderfully addictive due to the lead actors and plot. It is not the first time I have seen this kind of stuff: hot alien with super strength and hearing and can move around at light speed, but the story made me laugh out loud countless times thanks to the talented and beautiful Ji Hyeon. She is so hilarious everyone should watch the drama for belly aching laughs.

Chemistry between the main characters was superb. I know they were in a movie together before this, so their affectionate scenes were very natural and sweet. I love them together and have been sending vibes into the universe for them to date or at least star in another drama together.

Watch this. I promise it's worth it.

This is a nice light hearted comedy-drama. It was enjoyable and easy to watch. It has a similar premise to other women-centered shows like Sex and the city, Mistresses, Gossip girl, Girls ect.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything extraordinary to begin with.

STORY
The main premise is the love lives of 3 girl friends.

Firstly, the protagonist. She is cute, nice, the most relateable i think. The show mostly focuses on her. Her story is the most interesting. Her story is about long term relationships, their problems after many years of dating and how (and if) you can get away from them. Specifically, she is in a 10 year old relationship. The main questions her story targets are: Is love alive after 10 years of dating? Is this relationship going anywhere? (why isn't he proposing?) Is he cheating? Should i break up? Can i break up? Can i move on? Things like that.

I found her story and the way she thinks about these things very real. Of course there is a love triangle developing here, still her decisions seemed rational and logical until the end.... What i didn't like about this show mostly was the fact that you can forsee what will happen in the end, from the first 3 episodes... In the end i found her decisions kinda stupid and not rational. They were obviously made just for the show to finish the way it was supposed to...

Story #2. Virgin aged 33. I found her the most interesting in the beginning, but i was dissapointed in the end... So much potential wasted. Her story was cute nonetheless, again you can forsee what will happen from episode 2. Nothing exciting ever happens...

Story #3. If you've seen sex and the city, she is the Samantha of the trio. Well, i consider myself an open-minded person. But there are some really questionable life choices here, that i couldn't help but judge... Samantha was a slut indeed, but she had a nice soul. Here this girl is heartless... She is a selfish slut, there is no other way to put it. Thinking just yourself and not caring for anyone's feelings saying "its their feelings they have to care for their feelings, i will care for mine" isn't logical, isn't right... Relationships are between 2 people, feelings should be considered from both sides... I tried not to hate her because she was a good friend but come on... As for her story, she gets her own love triangle... But she is so self-centered i just stopped bothering with her after a while....

The main problem i had with the show was that in relationship dramas, the show has to make you care for the flawed characters... Here it failed to do that, or it failed to do that to me... When there are some questionable plot choices, the show needs to explain why they were made... Here it just tells us, ";i felt like it, so i acted that way", maybe they wanted to make it feel more "real" but that made me judge them and not care for them to excuse them... The main character is the only one with rational choices... even though in the end she does stupid things and i was like... "Bitch, you deserve getting hurt"

ACTING
Well, i've seen better... It wasn't bad... It was fine, i just... have seen better in other kdramas... It was believable and good nonetheless... The main protagonists tried to act too cute and it bothered me at some points but overall it was a solid performance from everyone.

MUSIC
Generally i don't really care about the music, its just there... But here the music was amazing. There were certain tracks used thorough the show. That might have made the show feel a bit repeatable, but those tracks set you in a certain mood for everything that happens in the scenes, and i loved that. Each song expresses a feeling. Plus they were good songs!

RECOMMENDATION
Well, ehm.... I feel the show generally targets females in their 20s and 30s... I generally LOVE these shows about women, but not this so much. Everything had been done before and in a better way... Plus, you need to be quite open minded to watch, i really rolled my eyes so hard sometimes they were stuck in the back of my head with some character decisions... So, if you are a woman i think you'll appreciate the show a lot, even if nothing wowing really happens. If you are a man, then no... you will hate it and with good reason.

Would i rewatch it? No never, if i'd ever catch an episode on tv and nothing else was on, i'd watch it. But i'd never put it again on purpose... no.

OVERALL
It wasn't a bad show... I had a lot of fun watching it, it was an easy watch. The main problem that made me less excited about the show the more i was watching was the stereotypical presentation of men. "Men just want sex, men don't care about feelings" ect. But at the same time, the slut of the trio gets involved with 2 wonderful guys who she hurts... and the main protagonist gets involved with a cheater who wants to be forgiven after 2 times of cheating... The show should be more neutral about presenting men and women... Maybe i am a guy and i see things a little differently, thats why i said the show obviously targets women...

Well, I only started this drama because the actors and actresses, Jang Na-ra and Seo In-guk, not to mention Do Kyungsoo. They were all great at acting and their acting never disappointed me. I also was introduced to Park Bo-gum. He is a great actor and I now feel like watching all his movies and dramas. Actually, I figured out he was in a movie I already had watched, ''Blind''. I should point out for those of you watching this for Do Kyungsoo, it is really not worth it. Please just find clips on youtube. He is the murderer evil bad guy, but, he only plays the younger version of this guy and the flashbacks only happen ever so often. That being said, if you want to see great actors and several murder cases this is the drama to watch.

The story line and characters reminded me several times of a combination between the dramas, I can Hear your voice, You're all surrounded, and Pinocchio. But, with a less satisfying ending then all three of these dramas. I was really upset with the ending. I found it not really that great, and some of the story lines were not closed that well. If you are able to ignore the ending or imagine it ended similar to I can hear your voice, then I suggest watching this drama.


Bromance is awesome in this drama and literally everywhere. Which helped a great deal because the romance was quite lacking. Humor came and went, but, this drama in general is not really all that funny. It has a lot of serious moments and for any viewers that hate blood or dead people this drama is not for you.

Except for a couple episodes I would not waste my time rewatching this drama. So, for the most part I only liked the Bromance in this drama.

Great acting
Some interesting characters

It was a good drama however I could not give it a full 9.

Truthfully I would have liked this drama much better if the main actress character was more realistic and not so annoying. As a fellow female of the 21st century I know one this for sure...no matter how much I spent for a bag or how much I loved that bag as soon as there is someone threatening my life I would leave it and run. The character always remembered to carry her handbag even when she is leaving life saving medicine and equipment. Seriously, who is going to ask for her driver's licence(British spelling..lol) in that period of Korea?
I also found some of the villain's actions ridiculous and repetitive. There were many instances when I was like...'Really? WTH!?????'

I thought the male actors were great, They were the ones that made the drama enjoyable. Lee Min ho did a great job in this drama but the King was really good. I like this character a lot and the actor made me really empathized with him although he was weak and useless.

This show had an incredible mystery and was satisfying in a way that most shows in it's genre, Asian or western, fail to be. This was the first K Drama that I am glad that I did not binge watch because it gave me more time to appreciate the story.

What I liked:
- Story-telling. Once you watch a couple of Asian Dramas you know how most of them will end. There are usually only a few ways to resolve the story and unless they completely jump the shark, most stories are pretty predictable. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE HERE. Each episode deepens and complicates the mystery in a way that I kept finding myself thinking... I have NO IDEA how they are going to finish this story. There were honestly a lot of similarities between this show and the movie Looper and the show Lost. While Looper did a good job with time travel, I feel like Nine did a much better job telling it's story than Lost did.

- The ending. I know it is a little controversial but I loved the ending. It answers most questions but because of how complicated the alternative universes have gotten, it definitely still leaves some questions unanswered, which I liked. Everything goes full circle and you realize how careful the writers/producers were with the attention to detail.

- Love story. I was honestly a little turned off by the love story at first. I thought, the couple gets together in the first episode...what kind of build up is that? Boy, was I wrong. It's okay if you don't feel attachment or investment in their love in the beginning, you definitely will by the end. The main couple has great chemistry.

- Bromance. Sun Woo's relationship with all of his male friends/family is very heartwarming. Although the Yeong Hoon character is a little ridiculous at times (he spends much of the show running around bewildered from location to location, half the time covered in blood), the friendship between him and Sun Woo is really touching. At Sun Woo's bleakest times, he always turns to his rock and best friend. Sun Woos complicated relationship with his brother Jeong Woo also beautifully evolves over time.

What I disliked:
- Jeon Dong Hwan. I thought that Chairman Choi as a character was written fine, but the actor playing him spent at least 4 whole episodes making the exact same "shocked" face. You'll know it when you see it, but it is cartoonish, unrealistic, and made me question how anyone could ever take this guy seriously. I've seen Jeon Dong Hwan in other things and he's not awful, so I don't what made him decide to be utterly ridiculous in this show.

- The music. I agree with everyone that the music is not great. The show tries to have a few "themes" but doesn't do anything memorable. If they did a better job with the OST, I think this show would be even more of a classic.

Overall, I recommend this show to anyone, regardless of if you're a Asian Drama fan or not. The time travel idea is not new but the 'rules' that are applied to the time travel in this show make it exciting, risky, and a constant tool for moving the story forward.

I watched this drama only for Ji Sung. He was great, but the story dragged a lot for me. I knew the ending because I'm always curious to read the real life stories of historical fiction dramas while watching it too. The plot felt very true to life, but I wonder if they could have cut out a lot of scenes to help move the story along. I was bored. Frequently.

The chemistry between the leads was great, but it was barely there, so that was disappointing. I don't really want to recommend this to anyone because I felt I only finished because I had Ji Sung withdrawals after Heal Me, Kill Me and I ran out of dramas to occupy my free time.

Leia Mais

Heal Me, Kill Me was amazing. I was skeptical watching a dissociative identity disorder drama, because there could be plenty of fallacies when it comes to these rare mental disorders. I didn't want them to exaggerate for the sake of entertainment, but without going crazy they turned this into one of my favorite dramas of this year.

The chemistry between the main characters was great. The acting was great. I was addicted to the drama and romance, so I would recommend this to anyone interested in a beautiful romance with many fun twists and turns. You will laugh a lot.

Leia Mais

This drama left me wanting more. I was addicted from beginning to end, and this gave me mad withdrawals.

The only negative I can give to this story is I didn't exactly believe the leads' chemistry. I did enjoy the kissing and affectionate scenes, but the majority of the time I had difficulty believing their romance was genuine.

The rest was positive. Individually the actors were beautiful and talented. I love both their characters. A lot of the scenes had pretty background and music. The beginning had plenty of action scenes to help you get the feel of what the guy's work entailed. The plot was wonderful with plenty of awesome twists. I liked the mystery. I liked the ending very much, and I hope to see more dramas like this. They definitely got a lot of it right: drama, action, mystery, romance, and a little bit of comedic relief all in one smart and endearing package.

Definitely worthy of watching over and over again.

Noble, My Love is a drama I recommend if you like men who are dominant, rich and obnoxious... and have a tanned six-pack! :D This is something you watch for the cheesy, sometimes erotic, funny and romantic atmosphere. Watch this if you are after a short thrill revolving around two characters, but stay away if you want a story-driven drama with a lot of content and depth.

Story:
Nothing really special here, but the characters are sort of interesting and different. The story is just a prop in the background and the characters are the centerpiece. Feminists will not enjoy the setting, but I for one did :D Just don't take it too seriously and enjoy it!

Acting/Cast:
Both of the main actors are going into my to-watch list! At first I did not like the male lead, but he really grows on you and has a lovely voice and charisma that you will warm to. The female lead portrayed a different kind of woman... she was more than just a pretty face, she actually portrayed genuine feelings and her facial expressions felt real.

Music:
I really enjoyed the music in this drama. There were no songs with vocals, just a blend of different instrumental songs. They actually played the Star Wars "Imperial March" a LOT and I can't believe they actually managed to make that fit in and seem fresh. All in all I enjoyed the soundtrack and it strengthened the atmosphere.

Rewatch value:
I wish that there had been even MORE erotic or romantic scenes. Those are the thing I go back for, but I can see myself watching this again happily when I am about 70 years old and sitting in my rocking chair... mostly due to the six-pack...

Overall:
A 9/10 seems really, REALLY high, but it all comes down to the fact that I enjoyed watching this. I actually watched this in one sitting. My favourite drama so far is Coffee Prince and compared to that this is a very simple and short drama and doesn't offer you much to remember or think about, but it felt fresh, fun and it fed my hunger for romance which is what I look for in Korean dramas.

What I liked about this drama was Si Won, and the strange but cute relationship between the leads. I also liked the chicken costume (I'm hoping that wasn't a spoiler).

What I disliked was Ivy's personality. I'm not sure if this was due to her acting or the poor interpretation of the manga's character. I wish the director could have toned down the craziness to make this drama more believable.

I enjoyed the majority of this drama because I did root for the main characters and hoped for that sweet ending. I don't think I got what I wanted. There was a lackluster in the beginning and end, but the middle was enticing due to the lead's character development. The actress did please me when she changed into a more mature adult.

I have very mixed feelings for this rom-com, and would only recommend this to people with lots of patience for immature, whiny girls.

Leia Mais

This drama was recommended by a friend, and I am glad I watched it. The show kept my interest, and the main male actor was mostly wonderful to watch. I would definitely watch another drama with him as the main character. The development between the leads was excellent with plenty of funny and endearing scenes. Music and costumes were also great.

Here is why I could not give this potentially wonderful drama a 10:

(1) I enjoy historical fiction if they do not alter too much from history, and unfortunately this drama did just that.

(2) I did not enjoy watching them argue. The storyline changed their strong and intelligent personalities into messy, immature teens.

Overall I was not attached to this movie or the main characters. I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending, but this is worth watching if you enjoy palace and relationship drama.

I enjoyed 3/4 of this drama, but found it difficult to finish. The beginning was a bit strange for me but moved very quickly. I was captivated the majority of the way and quickly became a Hu Ge and Cecilia Liu fan.

The story was nice, but I was conflicted to finish when they changed everything very suddenly. I was not happy with the direction the story went in and could not seem to root for any of the characters at this point. The drama became disappointing, because I invested a lot of time and was ready for the character I felt most empathetic towards to find happiness. I was angry with everyone at this point, and did not enjoy the rest of the drama.

Everything else about the drama was pretty good. I enjoyed the costumes, music and acting. I would not watch this again, but would recommend others to watch it if they like this genre.
