That was what I felt watching this drama. Barring the premise which seemed to be interesting, the drama is filled with "Oh, I know what happens next!". Like when the grandma keeps bickering about the exact time of the marriage, you know something's gonna go wrong and they'll be married in some 'unconventional' place. Or the story of Qi Ming's mother.
The actors did a remarkable job, but I never felt one with the story. So many things seem forced just to fill in the episodes. It was enjoyable in bits and pieces, but something was always missing.
Or maybe my expectations were just too high.

There is logic and nothing seems artificial in this drama. Even though this just a fiction, it looks realistic. I am the one who is really fed up with curtesy and artificial korean dramas. The Producers is different.
I'm not gonna describe the characters. You just have to see them by yourself. They all are so real and touching.
I like short dramas. I suspect that 11 - 12 episodes are meant for genius dramas. Not slow and never seem too long, and still have enough time to extend the pleasure of watching it.

This drama is a muddled mess of amnesia, stabbings, and confused hearts. I honestly winced my way through this, often times wishing I'd never started.
The acting dragged. The poor portrayal of the characters Ren Guang Xi and Liang Mu Cheng left me feeling jipped. They were way too over emotional, and often times took their characters to places I didn't understand.
The writing was poor and messy at best. The script continuously mixed in random bits of drama cliches whenever they felt like they were running out of actual story line. Nothing about this drama keeps you guessing. It's all already been done and seen.
For me, the only thing that I enjoyed about this drama was the adorable child whom played Liang Xiao Le. He was adorable and cute, and honestly the only actor worth watching in this drama.

I wasn't sure if I was in the mood for this type of drama, but both of these actors were new to me, so, based on the previous two reviews, I took the plunge. This drama was awesome! I won't give away any spoilers, but it's been a while since I felt compelled to do some reading about other viewers' reaction to this drama, after I finished it. Be prepared for tissues at the end...revenge is a difficult one. Great acting, suspenseful, and totally worth your time. I am looking up some of these actors to see some more of their dramas. I highly recommend this drama! Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Speaking of STORY - This story has no loop holes and it is perfected arranged and managed. Every one of the incidents indicates the flow of story and well managed to be connected with each other. This Story has everything including romance, action, revenge, comedy etc. It lacks in nothing. it makes us so interesting when each episode end with a twisted scene.
Considering CAST - I must say this, the most effective factor in this drama which attracts so many fans is the cast. I mean wow!. Everyone in this drama has done a great job. Chemistry between the main leads was awesome and lovely. They two look too cute in their roles .Main Leads - Park Shi Hoo
(Kim Seung Yoo) one of the most attractive actor when it comes to historical dramas. he has done an outstanding job as the hero of the play. He made us feel the emotion in the drama. Moon Chae Won
(Lee Se Ryung) I know well she is one of the best actress i love to watch. i am her fan in innocent man and good doctor. she expressed her emotions very well as we cry with her when she cries. i am really touched by her character and her true love through out the end of the drama. Not only main leads but also supporting casts such as Hong Soo Hyun (Princess Kyung Hye) , Song Jong Ho (Shin Myun) , Lee Min Woo (Jung Jong) have done a great job by portraying their characters so well. I cant forget to mention her Kim Yoo Bin (Kim Ah Kang) what a cute pie <3 loved her innocent scenes in the midst of all tensions.
Ending - My rating is 9 not 10 which i reduced for the ending. For me the ending was not really all perfect. The whole story and amounts of deaths meant nothing at the end. And so many characters were left behind.
But overall it was a great show with loving scenes.Loved it So Much !

The first 10 episodes were amazingly well developed and I loved watching the character development and the initial friendship between Yu Xi (Lorene's character) and Zhan Cheng (Kingone's character) when he was blind. As their friendship developed into love, they became a super compatible couple. Their kissing scenes were also very cute. I think they're a great OTP for sure. Another reason why I liked this drama so much was because of the department store rivalry scenes/element. Unlike other romance dramas where the male lead is a CEO and they don't talk much about it other than the fact that he looks great wearing suits and has a lot of money, this drama plays out the rivalry scenes. They continue with the department scene rivalry side story throughout the drama and I really enjoyed these scenes because they were intense and nerve wracking to watch and they added to character development of Zhan Cheng. It wove seamlessly into the main plot and didn't distract from the romance.
Kingone really carries this drama. His portrayal of a blind man was seriously amazing. His acting was flawless and I couldn't see any flaws in his portrayal. I wasn't initially a fan of him because I usually like idol drama actors (read my other reviews) , but his character is really the ultimate perfect boyfriend. I actually liked Lorene's acting. Although her acting seemed a little fake in the beginning, her acting got a lot better. Like I said, Kingone carried the drama and he guided her through the romantic scenes well. Many think her crying scenes were fake, but I thought it was realistic because realistic crying isn't pretty. In terms of the supporting actors, I loved William's camaraderie with Zhan Cheng, and Yu Xi's relationship with her family. The supporting couples between Zhan Cheng's sister and Yu Xi's brother was adorable, as well as William's relationship with Yu Xi's best friend. Lorene was good at her dual roles as well.
The music is so heartwarming and emotionally provoking. I think this is one of the best soundtracks as a whole for a drama. Bii did most of the soundtrack, and I liked his songs a lot. They perfectly match the tone of the drama and the scenes.
For those of you who are unsure if you want to watch it because you're not sure if you can handle the various tragedies of this drama from the summary you just read, trust me, it is worth watching. It took me 2 weeks to finally decide to watch this because I selectively pick dramas to watch since I don't like dropping dramas; I feel the need to finish a drama once I start it. I'm glad I watched this drama; after all, it has now become one of my favorite dramas. Re-watch value is definitely high. In fact, I'm re-watching it right now! If your taste is anything like mine (read my other reviews for T-dramas), you will definitely love this drama. Give it a try. You won't regret it.
***edit*** As I said earlier, I'm watching it for the second time and after watching it for the second time I came to appreciate the beautiful cinematography of this drama even more. The BTS videos were also very entertaining and showed the chemistry between the leads. I recommend watching the BTS if you fall in love with the characters like me! I'm starting to like all the characters after watching it for the second time because I can start to understand some of their actions even though some of them were unforgivable. This might sound crazy, but I think I might watch it for the third time in the future. I really hope Kingone and Lorene collaborate on a drama again! (10/9)

This drama was an extremely emotional, elaborate, and lengthy train wreck - but in the BEST sense. You begin with characters in the midst of a somewhat complicated relationship, and each episode continually adds to a web of deceit, greed, jealousy, love, and obsession that binds the main characters together. Even though the love square was a big part of the plot, the drama really brings to light what people will or won't do to satisfy their greed and how that can affect their lives. I didn't love any one main character over another, and I think that that was intentional - they all made their share of poor choices. I really have to hand it to the actors of these characters. Well done.
WHIB was not without frustrations, though. A lot of the meaty parts of the plot center around corporate business. Jo In Sung, So Ji Sub, and several supporting characters all work (and scheme) there, and it becomes an easy vehicle for them to try to get revenge on each other. Some may find this interesting to watch. I don't. It got old quickly and made some of the later episodes a bit draggy.
I found the supporting cast to be a bitter but necessary thing. The main characters didn't just make their decisions for themselves - there often was a supporting cast member behind it all, which made me hate them a little (or a lot) for what they put the main characters through. I can't deny their importance, though.
I will not re-watch it fully (I may skim a bit to see the actors again), but I really don't need to. The message of the drama was powerful enough for me to be perfectly fine with one complete watch.
If you're looking for a drama that's heavy on darker themes, this would be a good one to start. The love square of the main characters and the corporate business are the biggest plot lines, but the real force of the drama is the greedy and selfish sides of being human.

Well the story is not completely unique, it's actually the typical revenge story. BUT, there's so much more than just the gist of the story. The screenwriting, the script, editing and the feelings are well conveyed in the story that you would not find it so typical at all. PLUS, it doesn't get boring. It's quite the opposite actually, the farther you go, the more interesting it gets.
I LOVE THE KISSING SCENES. I abused the replay button so many times that it almost yelled to make me stop!
Cast: Shin Hye and Jong Suk are 2 are better actors in this drama than The Heirs and I Hear your voice. Maybe because the chemistry is almost too real that you would think they are a real couple in real life. I also love the kindhearted grandfather, I wish I had a granny like him! :) This is a feel good drama and all the characters were able to show their good sides. Something that you would really be inspired of doing. of course, the actors really pulled it off!
Music: Hmm, honestly I can't remember the OST. Maybe it is not as catchy, but the fact that I did not complain about means its good *wink*
Rewatch Value: I really don't rewatch BUT I can't get over Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk. So I will definitely watch this in the future (or maybe just the kissing scenes).
OVERALL: I recommend this to EVERYONE! I actually tried to convince my freends and relatives to watch it. WHY? Because if you're a Kdrama fan, this is something that you should not miss.

This drama is about a band of musicians who were once famous in the past, however 10 years on they're all working in their own jobs, and they want to revive their once famous group, and in order to do this they need money. It just so happens that Minki at that time finds out that he just inherited a small piece of land his grandma has left him. He then comes up with a plan to grow cabbages on it until they have enough money to create a new album and revive their band.
Their journey in growing the cabbages is hilarious but also informative, I learned a lot about farming through this, it also gives you an insight on how much trouble goes into growing veg and successfully farming.
I forgot to mention the village leader where they're growing the cabbages, also happens a noona who Minki had a crush on in childhood, who is also single mother. The villagers are hilarious, there's Mingu the farming expert, there's a silent girl who's an illegal worker, an ahjumma who can't keep secret and a lot more other characters.
For me The funniest part of the drama has to be where the granddad saves the nuts from the chocolates he eats and then offers them to everyone, absolutely hilarious xD.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun light-hearted drama with a good story.

The story was quite good, the mystery of who killed his mother was very suspenseful until the very end. Go Ara and Lee Seunggi had great chemistry, but Seunggi looked so weird not smiling and upbeat like we normally see him on tv. One of the funny scenes of the drama was when Seunggi came out the shower and Go Ara runs into him and her face smacks right in the middle of his chest, their reaction is hilarious..
Would definitely recommend it, it was better then the other dramas that were on around the same time.

------------------- SPOILERS----------------------------Would have been on my list of best Kdramas of the year IF Lee Jong Suk and Kang So Ra had ended up together.. but no.. The writer fooled us in to thinking they still have a chance right until the last episode Lol.
The story wasn't bad. the acting was good. Just got a bit confusing in the middle because it didn't make sense.. they could have gone in to more detail with the other characters backgrounds but overall I enjoyed this drama a lot. I didn't see any point of Sistar's Bora being in it since she was only in it for like 10 minutes in the whole drama.
I didn't like the ending, and I'm sure a lot of you wont but it's a fun watch, would definitely recommend it.

This drama is my favourite kdrama of the year. I watched this drama when it actually started airing on tv, and I think this is the only drama that I watched from start to finish that I enjoyed every single episode of. At first I thought the storyline was a bit dumb, I mean how can a 26 year old play an 18 year old, and I had not heard of the other actors in the show, so I was expecting much. I think the writer, director and all actors did an awesome job, the drama had the perfect ending. Would definitely watch again, actually I've already watched it twice haha.
Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, sweet drama with awesome acting and a great storyline and ending.
