Story: 1 more vampire love story to add to the list for me. 200+ year old vampire finds love after losing his previous girlfriend before he was turned. Its been done. The actors are what saved this drama for me, but the little twists that help bring the couple together just add to the fluff.
Acting/Cast: This could have easily turned into a horrible drama that tried wayyyyy too hard, but it wasn't (not for me anyway). The actors did a great job of making the characters entertaining and likable, so I was interested in how the story would unfold for them. And let's be honest, Tang Danson plays the brooding vamp very well: dark, mysterious and aloof....which made his scenes where there was comedy involved even funnier. The female lead, Hei Lam, was great too. She's not your average damsel in distress, the girl takes judo for fun and can kick some butt, BUT she still needs to be rescued every now and then.
Music: I didn't really notice anything special, but when the action started it did help amp up the mood.
Rewatch Value: Sure! Its only 9 episodes. So if you're craving a bit of fluff from a genre that is usually all dark and brooding, rewatch away!
Overall: Its not the greatest drama of all time, but it certainly was entertaining and the actors made me fall in love with the characters and kept me interested for a 9 episode marathon. The ending is a bit...meh...but it gives you a bit of everything and some nice eye candy that I highly recommend.

Initially I couldn't stand Zheng Er And I wanted her to die a thousand times. But she portrays such an awesome evil witch. She's so crazy, but you just have to love to hate her.
I rewatched this twice already. I don't like the ending. It makes me feel depressed.

It does not deal with a love story as the main story, but centers on the relationship of the two girls.
I really liked, the (in fact very implausible, but that can't be a measurement in dramas xD) story and the conflicts it caused.
I also really liked the characters changing. In the beginning I really didn't like Seo Jung Eun, but that changed. I also liked the "bad", the supporting cast. And I liked that there were no real "bad ones" or only "good ones".
I also really like the supporting cast of Seo Jun Euns friend and Lee Youngjos Brother. It was refreshing and funny. I would have liked more about that ;)
Of course, there were things I didn't like also. The lovestory of the mainleads could have been so much more wonderful! But they didn't really got the chemistry maybe.
In ways of Seo Jung Eun I think her character could have been more interesting if she had a darker tone also, I mean if she would not always do everything "right", but that's my opinion. Also Lee Young Jo was a little colorless as a character.
Then I would have liked Seo Jung Eun to visit her adoptive home of her childhood once again in the later episodes and also have more like a REAL friendship with Mi Ryun, because Mi Ryun couldn't even tell her she can't have babies? Why not talk about that as friends.
And I didn't like Han Yoo Kyungs clothes. She looked like 13 with that small figure of hers, like a doll.She always had very short skirts. I wouldn't have taken her seriously as a producer. And I mean, she wanted to be tough, to look tough. But still look supercute? Maybe for the manly audience.
And that Han Byul was always shoutin Daddy! was a little annoyin to me too.
I still really enjoyed watching. I didn't really notice the music. Nothing to listen to later for me in it, but not annoying either.
There are only very little dramas I would watch twice, because I think it's boring if you still now what was going on. No actor of this drama blew my mind that hard that I'll have to watch this again, even if Joo Sang Wook is eyecandy, indeeeed. I think the story didn't get boring, but "the suffering" in the later episodes was tiring.
I would recommend this drama! It makes you think on your view of things :)
So, that's it, my very subjective opinion.

The show starts off really strong and funny. the 2 main leads are hilarious. I love love love the bee powder. Yi Feng is so funny teamed with my fave actress, Tiffany. They make such an adorable couple. The scenery is gorgeous. I love the costumes they wore, especially the kimono worn by Shu Chang at the end.
Towards the end of the show it started to drag for me. I was thinking, what happened to my main leads? instead of being funny and cute, it was so melodramatic. I don't like how Tiffany's character changed from being strong to being so naive and NICE. I mean, your friends lie/cheat/tries to assassins you and you still trust them?
As for the second leads...what is more important? Who do you choose? A family member who manipulates you or a person you love in the whole world?
Is there an alternate ending? I felt like I wasted my time watching this. The ending was too rush. Why does it seem like that for majority of CDramas?
Would I watch it again? Maybe just the first part of the show. I still love Tiffany and I think she's awesome. I love her in the perfect couple with Wallace. That I can watch over and over again. I will be reviewing that shortly.

Two reasons:
1. Every drama has lovable characters who keep the viewers occupied. This drama has no consistent ones. Even the supposedly good characters behave like retards more than once.
2. After 85 episodes, I feel like the story so far could've been as well been covered in 8 episodes.
Lets start with the synopsis - "A drama about a woman who finally becomes a part of a family after re-adoption and man who chooses love over family." I seriously wonder how this synopsis was written (gets my nomination for the worst synopsis reward). After around 43 hours, I'm not convinced that she's becoming a part of the family but I'm already convinced he's not choosing love over family.
Coming to the story, this features the most hopeless and pointless love quadrangle I've ever seen seen in a drama. Seems more like mere obsession and rivalry rather than love. The so-called hero keeps jumping all over the place with his decisions. Every drama has characters you'd like to kill off so that the rest can be in peace. But if you start doing it here, there'll be no one left.
The only redeeming point was the music - I kinda liked the opening theme.
Rewatch: The "watch" value itself tends to zero - the rewatch might as well go into negative.
Concluding Thoughts: I might've been critical and exaggerated here and there, but I'm at the pinnacle of vexation and have been ruing the wasted hours of my life. There are loads of good family-oriented dramas out there like Glorious Day, Family's Honor, Assorted Gems and Daughters-in-law. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this contraption.

The character portrayals are what makes this drama fantastic: from the handsome player,, the shy classmate whom t the guys adore, the lovely med student who blindly follows parent's orders, the popular coworker, to the perky girl who falls for her coworker. What's a girl to do when she loves a guy whose heart yearns for his old schoolmate? Rika will win your heart and maybe break it. I rarely have found a character that I adore so much. How can someone smile amid so much pain? I wish we all could. And that is why this is such a worthwhile watch.
Music was great, The clothes, hair styles, and phones were all outdated. So what! This one is a classic!

So why don't we together vote for this drama and the casts for upcoming awards? And i wish there will be more upcoming dramas like this.
Well done!!!

So many viewers made comparisons between TEN and MNM, and it makes sense since the two shows carry the same vibe and are gritty and thought-provoking. But the questions that were asked in each show were different. TEN made us wonder who really was the monster, while MNM made us ponder the meaning of (in)justice.
What I like so much about both shows in any case is that we're not just watching a brainless procedural cop show with a new case of the week every episode. There's so much more with every case that unfolds. You will definitely question what's right and what's wrong in each context and still feel unsure of your own judgement.
I also liked how well we got to know our characters in such a short amount of time and without being spoon-fed a lengthy exposition. We learned more about their backgrounds whenever they became relevant and through their own actions. Gil Soo-hyeon is not so cut-and-dry as you'd believe at first, and Oh Dae-yeong is both endearingly and frustratingly someone who's ruled by emotions and acts before he thinks. I think the weakest link was Jin Seo-jun, who we did get to know about but still fell a little flat even with her past being revealed.
It was a good show overall and I hope they make a second season of this because I definitely want to see these characters again. Plus, the ending was a semi-cliffhanger (they concluded the series but left enough hanging that there's the potential for more).
P.S. Do not make the mistake of eating food while watching this show. Just saying.

Story: 7.5
As I said there are no surprises, but the story folds out well from beginning to end with a good pacing, it ends when it needs to end and things are not dragged out. The characters are also quite nicely fleshed out and you get a lot deeper into their psyche than in average dramas.
Acting/Cast: 8.5
The acting was the best part of this drama. I personally love the female lead (Uee) and although her character is written as quite one dimensional, she brings that character to life and makes you care about her. The male lead (Sung Joon) feels very bland, but I guess that is what his character is like. I wish he had been allowed to give the character more... balls. The second couple of the drama (Park Hyung Shik & Im Ji Yeon) almost stole the show. I personally disliked the female character at times (too SWEET), but in the end I actually cared more about them than the main couple.
Music: 6.0
I actually can't remember any of the songs in the OST. That is a bad and a good thing. Obviously the music did not bother me, but if I can't remember a single song it means nothing was memorable.
Rewatch Value: 5.0
I enjoyed watching this drama, but I feel I will never watch it again. There were some really cheesy, romantic moments I might want to relive, but I won't be watching the entire show again.
Overall: 7.0
I would have scored this drama a lot higher if it had something SPECIAL. For me "7" means that it's an enjoyable drama that you do not regret watching, but you will soon forget it.

Seems like I and a Facebook friend were the only people who enjoyed that time travel. yes I loved it even more than the first 4 episodes. It has more heart than the present time.
Overall, I marked this drama a perfect score, ON MY OWN PERCEPTION. It may be not as perfect as it is, but a 10 for this is deserve because of its flawless storytelling, from beginning to end. To understand a thing, all you need is a focus, not on the scenes but on the dialogues, some answers are revealed there.
I actually dropped it at first, but seeing how some hated the Joseon setting but for one (the FB friend) to praise it positively, I got intrigued...and we then had the same opinion.
This is my first Yeo Jin goo drama (yes, I skipped Missing You child version). Impressive. I like him already. Seolhyun of AOA, not as great as our teen stars today, I bet was the perfect Mari. She breathe the character well with simplicity and elegance. As for Lee Jong hyun, this is my new drama of him too, and how can he perfectly portray such lovable character. I don't have Second Lead Syndrome (but Iship him with Ara..whaa chemistry) in this, but I love the character so much. The rest of the characters were lovable too. Anyone not noticed, but no one seems to be a villain. All is fair. Chemistry overload.
The soundtrack was so nostalgic. The shots were just enough for the eyes. The theme, is not just about humans and vampires. It is about fate and acceptance - and how I got to understand these fate and acceptance, rewatch the joseon episode and read the dialogue. It was actually mentioned there. This dramas' title was justified by the story. One of my favorite KDrama titles now.

A little bit repeated story but, still unique in its way
PROS:
1-Really sad Melodrama but ends in a happy way.
2-The relations between the leads are developed in a perfect speed not too fast neither too slow.
3-This drama can get you satisfied the ending couldn't be anymore better.
CONS:
1-I see that the final twist isn't good.
This is my favorite type of drama cause it's touching and the general pattern swings between passionate love, hate, pitiful characters and sacrifice. All of these characteristics can move your feeling really hard and that makes the drama interesting.
Finally, even if you are not a Melodrama type give it a try I see it's underrated.
Hope you enjoy it.
:)

Story: Same old same old. There are evil and overly ambitious people in the palace that make the love triangle a tug of war for the entire 36 episodes. Honestly, by the time I was on the last few episodes the niceness of Lian Er was just frustrating and the bad endings for the evil characters weren't as satisfying as I would have hoped. Maybe if there were fewer episodes that kept drilling into our heads just how bad the palace people were and just how much they could torment our heroes it wouldn't have bothered me so much. Also,I did not like the amount of time that some side stories had towards the end. FYI writers: I DIDNT CARE! I found myself fast forwarding through most of that.:-)
Acting/Cast: Good. It annoyed me that some characters from the first series played different character's in this one. The main one I spotted was the old emperor in series 1 played 17th Prince's teacher in this one. Other than that, I will say that the cameos by 8th Prince and Qing Chuan were adorable and was a nice nod to series 1.
Music:Laughable. Every time a character would ask Lian Er to sing suddenly the music would kick-in over her singing and we're supposed to believe she was the one singing! It made me laugh every time. But the OST was nice and whoever did the actual singing was good.
Overall: Based on my review I know it sounds like I hated this series BUT, I knew what I was getting into from the 1st series. I WANTED to watch something cheesy, with over the top effects and characters I love to hate. And boy did I get it! It was cheesy and cute and the ending salvaged a lot, ALOT of the flaws for me! Glad I finally watched it, but I'm not going to continue with the series. This was a good place to stop for me :)

Now apart from the "Yeah, I know it will turn out like this" story, what makes this drama worth your time? It's the acting. Should I restate how good Jung Kyung Ho played his character here? And Kim So Yeon also did a very amazing job with her role. For awhile, I really shipped this couple and really believe that maybe somewhere in Korea and sometime near in the future they really love each other and is getting married soon (LOL).
This really is a good drama worth watching just because of the chemistry and acting from the main actors, especially Jung Kyung Ho. I know I will be start watching all his previous dramas, because of what he had offered in Falling for Innocence.

Story: It continues after season 3 which i liked and it went on with all the crazy investigations.It was also nice to see the romance evolve more between Dr han and Kang Kyeong Hee which brought a bit more
life in the series.The thing that i dont like is that every season there are new actors inside and the genius computer hacker wasnt there anymore and he was in all previous 3 seasons.Then again in season 3 there wasnt Kang Kyeong Hee which was a dissapointment for that season since she is my favorite actor in the series.However it all connected to each other all seasons and this one is ended again with a open possibility for more god quiz which i like :).
I liked this season most because it was the most easy going of all of them.Not to much pressure on Dr han and his problems and his brain and i think the investigations where a bit eassier to understand.
Conclusion: A very nice show that can continue till season 10 all i care of:).The investigations are fun to watch and interesting.I would suggest this show to everyone that likes crime/investigations and you wont regret watching it :).
