I had very high expectations for this drama; I'm so glad it didn't fall flat. Again with my Chris Wu bias, I try to watch everything he stars in. After watching a few of his dramas, I liked his character in this the most, Zhou Shu Yu. The story itself is pretty underrated in my opinion; it's a story about going from the rock bottom and reaching the top with side stories, heartwarming friends, hardships/challenges, and the journey. It sounds cliche and boring but I loved experiencing their journey with them. I could feel their happiness, sadness, disappointments, all along with them. In the first three episodes, the drama focused on setting the scene, and I enjoyed the beginning episodes on Shu Yu's side, but Wei Zhen was obnoxious in the beginning. It's hard getting past the first three episodes, but stick past it!

Many dislike the female lead, Lin Wei Zhen, and to be honest I didn't like her that much either. Kimi is a great actress but she is seriously just too naive and clueless at times for me to really like her character; even at the end, where her character seemingly develops, I still think Zhou Shu Yu is completely carrying the relationship. I can't spoil it, but I do not like the ending. Don't worry, it's a happy ending, but I thought it was not satisfying. Zhou Shu Yu's character development captivated my attention. He changed the most throughout the drama, and watching his growth was an essential part of the drama. Chris Wu definitely excelled in his role.

The music was amazing. Being a show about the music industry, the music had to be great. Granted, the dubbing was a bit awkward at times, but I still loved the music by Mayday and Jia Jia. They really captured the emotions. Chris Wu also sings! I didn't know that. He sang in two scenes and I loved it!

I actually think the rewatch value is pretty high because although this drama portrays a journey, I would want to go through the journey again with them. And of course, if you love Chris Wu and Zhou Shu Yu, you would definitely want to see them again. I would have given this drama a 10 if it not for the ending. Of course, that is my personal preference. Don't miss out on this drama; it's a diamond in the rough.

Honestly, I watched this Drama because of Go Joowon and Song Joongki. Song Joongki is my favourite Actor and i like Go Joowon, too. So I decided to begin this drama.

Story:
I like medical Dramas, but after dropping Medical Top Team I wasn't sure, if I would like this Drama. I think the storyline is nice. The Drama is set in a Hospital and the mainactors and actresses are doctors and nurses. The Drama focuses on Obstetrics and Gynecology. The dialogues are not easy to unterstand even with subtitles, but with the help of the Internet I could unterstand. I liked the relationship between Song Joongki and Go Joowon and between Song Joongki and Lee Youngeun. For Goo Joowon and Jang Seohee was my feeling different. I hoped that they wouldn't end up together till the end. I think there was no chemistry between the two of them.

Acting/Cast:
I liked Doctor Lee (GJW), Doctor Ahn (SJK), Doctor Wang (Seo Jisuk), the Head Nurse and Nurse Yeongmi very much. But I had a big problem with the female main Lead. Doctor Seo (played by Jang Seohee) was a main character I don't like. In most of the episodes I asked myself why she is so popular with the Males. But I didn't find an answer. In my opinion she overreacted in most of the situations, got angry at the residents (most of the time at Doctor Ahn) for a reason which I didn't understand. Goo Joowon anf Song Joongki played their characters very well and I think both of them are excellent Actors. For Seo Jisuk who played the longtime friend of Doctor Seo: I loved his character in this drama. He played Doctor Wang very well. The Head nurse and Nurse Yeongmi were two characters who were played very well, too.

Music:
The music was nice but not outstanding.

In conclusion I would watch it one more time because of the three Male leads and because of Yeongmi.

I might as well say that I am a huge fan of Kim So Yeon(IRIS and I Need Romance 3), but Jung Kyung Ho stole the show. He had such a quirky, but also deeply developed character. It was hard not to love this guy in the drama. Jung Kyung Ho was not the only one who acted well though, the whole cast was good.

The plot was interesting enough, but certain aspects of it seemed to be dragged along and could have been brought to a close earlier(but that seems to be a common theme in dramas). I came to want to watch episode after episode to watch the moments between the two leads and also between Captain Hook and Wendy. The actual corporation and investigation were sometimes boring, or just weren't as intriguing as the chemistry between the leads.

Although the storyline didn't surprise me that much, the writers do play with your emotions. This drama has such amazing lighthearted moments, but also has the feel of a melodrama(which it is).

Overall this was a fun drama to watch and it's easy to love the leads and many of the supporting characters. If you're a fan of melodramas and romance, but also like having a good laugh here and there, then this drama would be a good pick for you.

PLS JUST WATCH THIS DRAMA! If you like comedy, romantic and mystery then this is perfect.
You have characters you will hate to death, characters that make a huge character development and character that melt your heart :)
I LOVE THIS DRAMA so much. REWATCH? DEF!!

ps: sorry for all those uppercase letters... I just wanted to encourage people to watch this drama and don't get to hung up with these reviews :)

I'll write a review with catagories of the things I thought were right to mention when you want to watch a Drama:
Story:
The story sounds nice, a girl who sees ghost and she and her partner go to help those ghosts and by the way save and solve some crime cases.
It was nice and interesting at first when she helped those dead people but after she helped them and the storyline went for the past it was less good for me.
Althought it was interesting all along for me, it didn't bore me until the last episodes so that was the good point.Also there were things that I was surprised by them.

Acting/Cast:
I know the actors as good actors so I didn't understand why they act so badly in here, a lot of times I found myself saying" what is it with the script, their chemistry isn't good and they can't express their feelings well" so I think the good point of the drama is Kim Jae Wook. Not only the actor who did a good job in this but also his character was the best in there, I didn't empathize with the main characters (Tae Cyeon and So Yi Hyun) and I found them a bit childish or not intersting, even annoying.
The good part of the characters were the supporting ones that gave a bright feeling to this, and their little stories were funny/more interesting than the main characters.

Music :
I didn't find it remarkable, the main song is like an every-drama song.

Romance:
The main issue of the drama wasn't romance which I like that fact, but the romance part that we saw didn't move me emotionaly , it felt awekward and showed the fact that they didn't have chemistry .I thought that Yi Hyun and Jae Wook had a better chemistry and they looked better with each other.

Rewatch Value:
I wouldn't watch it again, it wasn't a "good" drama and it wasn't made well, it was a nice drama to pass time.

I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit skeptic when I started this drama. When I think of underground independent j-rock bands, Johnny's Jr (technically they aren't all Jrs now but you get the point) isn't what comes to mind (and neither is stage musical actors, I was surprised to see Kakizawa Hayato there). That being said, this is a very good drama.

The plot probably isn't something you haven't seen before: indie band trying to break through and find their place in a very strict and unfair industry while facing personal strife and group struggle. Still, the story advances in a well-paced speed that doesn't leave you bored or unwilling to continue. At least, for me, that wasn't at all the case.

The characters are all pretty interesting in their own way, given that there's always characters who aren't as developed as others in this kind of format, and the acting is, in general, ok. It's not great, it suffers from some inexperience here and there, but the heartfelt moments are well done and the soul of the story is portrayed well enough. I really liked Hirano Sho in the lead and I think most people do. He has a character that could easily be the most annoying lead ever yet he makes it very convincing and belieaveable and achieves some great dramatic moments.

The music was definitely my favorite part of the drama. It's really REALLY good and I never got tired of it.

I felt the ending was a bit too open but I'm giving it a pass for the time being, considering there's a 2nd season I haven't yet gone through (although I'm aware it doesn't feature the same band and that already makes me a bit uneasy because these guys were pretty interesting).

All in all, a good musical drama with good music but where acting and plot aren't out of this world. Still, I really liked it and, if I was being more subjective, I'd give it a higher score because this is my kind of drama, but I'm trying to be completely fair. Those who like j-pop alone and are here for the cast should know this is definitely a j-rock based drama and those who came for the j-rock and are surprised about the cast should know the music is good and the genre is, all in all, well represented. It's a strange combination but I think it works out for the most part. I'd recommend it.

Well, I finally managed to finish it and I'm really not sure if I'll recommend it to anyone. Still, I kinda enjoyed it tho it was filled with cliches - hence the rating of 7.5 (can't bring myself to give lower than that).

The story was dragged on and on for eternity. This ought to have been a 40 or 50 episode series - 120 was stretching it a bit too far. The pace really needs some getting used to. The main leads look good together - Han Chae Ah is probably the reason I slogged through. Her smile looks magnetic and Sung Hyuk makes a good pair with her, though their acting might seem zombie-ish at times. The script takes as much blame as the actors for the same. Kim Min Kyo lends some freshness with his unconventional dialogues and also some comic relief, though I would have liked more of it. I'd rather avoid mentioning most of the family members - too shady, too many and too irritating!

While watching the series, you get multiple feelings of déjà vu - giving the feel that this really is a not-very-delicate mix of inspirations from other drama, Come! Jang Bori and Rosy Lovers among others. Be ready to hate the majority of the cast in most of the episodes - makes you wonder again just how far people can go for money. Pretty much everything is there - parental opposition to love, the jealous lover who can go to any lengths to get what she wants, the illegitimate child looking for a place he belongs to, the mother who abandons her child for money, etc. In the end, everyone seems to realize their mistakes and redeem their character - and set the scene for complete happy ending. But you are left questioning the 'glass is half full' attitude of the writers and whether the ending was forced.

Watch it if you:
- are looking for a lengthy ride.
- prefer multiple romantic stories.
- are willing to wait for the good parts.
- wish for the perfect happy ending.

Avoid it if:
- negative characters annoy you; you'll be cursing them all the time.
- you're looking for something new in the story.

The music was nothing exceptional, but it was pretty good and suited the main characters. There were some loose ends at the end, but most of the side-stories were resolved. I'm still piqued at how the actual wedding scene of the main couple is skipped in a 120-episode series, while unnecessary time was spent on so many other scenes.

Would I watch it again? Only in bits and pieces for the good scenes - I can't handle 60 more hours, most of which comprises of the evil father, mother or mother-in-law in the process of devious plotting ;)

Enjoyed every episodes of this series. The entire cast did a wonderful job portraying their characters. The character I liked most in this series is II Ri. Lots of people hated her because she cheated on her husband. It makes perfect sense. Although the choices she made were wrong, I don't blame her entirely because I understand where she coming from and what led her to do what she did. It's human nature to make mistakes, but what is more important then that is learning from them.

The soundtrack in this series is beautiful. It so soothing, and it fits perfectly in every scenes.

I was never a fan of the lead actress until I started watching this series. I'm very impressed with her acting. i will definitely be looking forward to her next project.

Recommendation: Like other reviewers have stated, this show is for mature and open-minded viewers.

Just completed this and all I can do is sit here in disbelief. What did I just devout 16 hrs of my life on? THIS HAD IT ALL!!!! Emotional high & lows...yelling at the screen moments...crying moments...one of the best dramas Korean,German or English I've seen in a long time. The story, while not original, was written so well.
The acting was amazing!!! Kim Yoo Bin was so believable and showed she could compete with the adults no problem. Baro was movingly realistic and not once did I feel his portrayal of Young Gyu was patronising or stereo-typical based. When he hangs up his microphone...this idol will have a great acting career.
The definite stand out was Jo Seung Woo. How incredibly sexy is he??? He is great with kids, he can protect you, he can sing, he can be sensitive and is not afraid to show his vulnerable said. His acting ran the whole gamut of emotions, and he displayed each one so rawly, that he stole the scene when he was in it!
The ending left me shocked....watch it & tell me what you think!

Fiquei bastante interessado nesse drama desde que lançou até seu término por falarem tão bem dele em quanto estava em andamento... E bom, não tenho nada a discordar, pois, me apaixonei assim como muitos outros dorameiros.
Posso dizer que a principio, que no primeiro episódio, sinceramente achei um pouco tedioso até chegar nos últimos minutos dele, e assim que chegou, dali em diante foi um vicio completo até termina-lo.
Foi o primeiro dorama que vi com Ji Sung (Estava curioso pra saber como era o marido da linda Lee Bo Young <33). E cara, ele atuou MUITO BEM... Sério! Ele fez da personagem dele um espetáculo... Além do "dono", todas as personalidades que ele interpretou souberam encantar em cada um dos seus momentos impactantes...Claro que o "dono" e o "Se Gi", eles impactaram muito mais comparado ao resto, mas o que eu mais gostei foi Yo Seob. Yo Seob em todos os momentos que ele apareceu eu chorei... Ele era o que me destruía emocionalmente ao ver esse dorama, mas, pra aliviar a tristeza vinha a Yo Na que me tirava gargalhadas (Foi engraçado o acontecimento de chorar e depois rir instantaneamente no 18 com esses dois). O Perry Park só conseguiu me cativar no 19, cheguei até chorar com esse tonto...Já as outras duas últimas personalidades não foram algo que me prendeu já que nem apareceram direito, mas chegarem a me emocionar no final...
A Jung Eum também só conheci nesse drama... Mas ela fazendo Ri Jin foi de encantar também, apesar do histerismo que era essa personagem, além de rir, chorei também com essa linda <33

Bom, esse drama além de ter tido uma ótima história, também teve ótimas personagens (Agradeci bastante por não ter um(a) rival chato(a)), o elenco foi muito bem escolhido, além de ter umas ótimas OST's...
