This drama was quite fun. If you want to watch a classic kdrama, this would be a good one to watch. Lee Da Hae is quite humorous and her and Lee Dong Wook performed very well together. Because it's a bit of an older drama, it did come across cheesy at times, but that's also part of its charm. It has many steriotypical drama cliches and some of the "villainous" type characters can be very infuriating, but that's to be expected and is nothing new with in comes to romcoms. The sweet romantic moments would melt away the frustrating moments. Lee Joon-gi was the perfect male second lead. His scenes with LDW and their relationship was quite good.

We all know it's the must see KDrama. But honestly, the plot was too infuriating to continue. I had to physically force myself to watch it. This show would have done a lot better with LESS EPISODES. 12 to 16 episodes would have done it. So much crap happened that was really unnecessary.
Regardless, you do become very intrigued about what happens.
Another problem I had is that the characters were inconsistent. Someone who can karate kick like a badass can't fight for herself? Really? Really.
Very disappointing.
F4 is the reason I watched it. Whatever I think of the show, I STILL LOVE F4 WITH ALL MY HEART.
Jan Di can kill herself. Even if she does get better at the end of the show.

This was the first Korean drama that I ever saw! It will forever hold a special place in my heart...

This one touched your heart and showed you that love is possible in the most unlikely place and with the most unexpected person. This is one of those that gives you hope for love. It shows you that love can truly conquer all, if you just have a little faith in it.

I'm sorry, I'm a hopeless romantic! That was really mushy and now that I've said that, I can review the drama. Great chemistry! The cast was awesome. My favorite is Uhm Ki Joon's character (Chae Eun Suk). He was such a refreshing reminder that love comes in all forms. i half wanted Kim Sun Ah's character to end up with him. A must see... again and again and again... :)

I loved this show!
No, it isn't typical or remotely normal in the kdrama world, but that's one of the many reasons I liked it so much.

I will say this: get trough the 1st 2 or 3 episodes. When I started watching this show, I really wasn't feeling it! But now it has become a favourite of mine!! So give it a chance!!

Mysteries are my cup of tea, and when mixed with comedy: yes yes and yes!
The story is pretty good, the plot makes sense and keeps you wondering trough out most of the drama, which is the point.
Plus, the characters are just adorable! I found myself falling deeper and deeper in love with their flaws and qualities, their funny inside jokes and their interesting ways of looking at everything.

Acting wise, it's wasn't perfect, but it was pretty great!
I need to give a well deserved bow to Jin Ji Hee! She did a great job, specially in the final scenes of the finale (won't spoil, just watch!!), which where definitely a challenge!
And also, Mr. Kim Min Joon! Wow! Just wow!! He was just perfect. Sultry and seductive, yet scary, and even vulnerable, all at once. I've fallen for him at this point! I'm pretty much planning on watching every drama and movie he has been in!!
Still, all of the actors did really nice in my eyes! Kang Min Ah was adorable, smart and wise, Lee Min Ji was messy and explosive, Lee Stephanie was sweet and sexy, Hye Ri was funny, cute and spontaneous... oh, and Han Ye Joon also stood out to me! I didn't think he was brilliant, but he did make me want to see him in a drama again!

Lastly (I promise I'll leave now...), I think the true reason why I loved this drama so much was the relationship between the girls in the group. Their friendship is beautiful, crazy and genuine, and that's how it should be!
This kdrama made me want to join the Seonam High School Investigators club...

(This is my first review)
At first I thought this drama was going to create a Korean version of Sherlock Holmes (has that been done?) but the direction switches and a much deeper and tragic plot emerges. The plot is fantastic and I think it is the strongest aspect for this drama. Although there are mostly dark themes evoked in this drama, I appreciated the light moments that are nicely timed and blended with it.
I love the fact that no over-blown romance happened between Cha Ji An (Jang Na Ra) and Lee Hyun (Seo In Guk). In the end, you understand that they care for each other and the pace of their relationship is realistic given Hyun's personalty.
I first saw Jang Na Ra in Baby-Faced Beauty so when I realized her role in this was a police officer, I had my doubts. She is so cute and petite. However, her acting was brilliant to the extent that all doubts were tossed aside.
This is the first drama I've seen with Seo In Guk and he is amazing in this. He never came out of character except when it seemed fit (during the last few episodes). Personally, I think because of his character's cold and unfriendly behavior 99% of the time, the moments when he cried were profound and heart-breaking. You remember that he is still human.
Choi Won Young plays the "bad guy", Lee Jun Ho, excellently. I think the beauty of his character is that the crime he committed is controversial and requires you to really think about what he has done. Which makes me appreciate Cha Ji An's inability to be swayed by Lee Jun Ho's view of himself not doing anything wrong.
Lastly, I feel the ending hinted on a season 2? That would be awesome.
The sound-track is absolutely fitting and lovely.
The moments when Hyun and Jung Seo Ho (Park Bo Gum) spend together as brothers are so adorable.

What I didn't like about this drama (minor things):
The poster. They make Cha Ji An look like a seductive vixen after Hyun's money. It is totally out of her character! Cha Ji An is smart, strong, messy, and clumsy as hell! Make her look that way!

I wish they had spent a little more time developing the closeness of the two cops, Eun Bok and Min Seung Joo. Yes, you get the idea that they are a tight knit team but when Eun Bok "gets in trouble", Min Seung Joo tosses out that he is like a "brother" to him. I felt that that was just thrown in there. I never really felt that those two characters where THAT close. I would have believe it more if he had called Eun Bok a best friend.

The team's outfits. The first time I saw the team I thought they were drop-outs from fashion school. These characters are POLICE OFFICERS and only once was I ever convinced they were dressed for the part. HOW CAN YOU RUN IN THOSE SHOES?

Overall, I recommend this drama.
P.S. It is really hard to not post spoilers but I respect that.
