So I agree, Ahn Jae Hyun was way too idle mid-way through the drama. I mean who ever heard of a surgeon not doing surgeries? However overall, I was entertained by this drama. I loved the vampire theme. For me, it was fun, thrilling, and a bit sad. I also liked the CG-3 effects which, in Korean dramas I usually don't. I felt like Ahn Jae Hyun kind of grew as an actor with this drama, since this was kind of his break out role. I hope to see him develop even more as an actor in his future projects. The very end though was a bit flippant to be honest, actually very flippant, even though they tried to develop it a little bit. Ji Jin Hee was also great in this.

I liked it. Nam Goong Min aka Kwon Jae Hee really made the drama for me. (I'm a sucker for thrillers >.<) But I also really enjoyed the overall chemistry between the cast members. I think there were a lot of aspects to enjoy about this drama, especially the quirkiness of the two main characters. I was quite disappointed however, that they kinda dropped the gag comedienne angle mid-drama. I think they would have made a great team, or how great would it have been if a producer saw her on the cooking show and wanted her to have a side-corner on his/her show? Besides that, I felt even more disappointed by the fact that Cho Rim & Moo Gak's memory & senses simultaneously came back without going into the psychological depth of the matter. It would have been nice if we had seen even just one of Cho Rim's therapy appointments, and the same with Moo Gak getting treatment.

So this is another drama that I watched a while back while it was still airing. Thinking back to this drama it actually raised my crave for more psychological references in dramas which are dearly missed. I hope there will be more dramas like this one. It was a GREAT drama, TOTALLY recommend to anyone! Great cast, great script, great chemistry like STOP reading this and go watch!-- lol okay so, if I was to have any complaints it would be that half way through the last episode it was a bit anticlimactic. And there was this filler which should have been left as a special preview and not even included lol.

Okay so overall it was a cute drama. I wanted to watch since I'm a fan of Infinite. I have to say the beginning episodes were really good and well written! However, -don't hate me guys! ^^- after a while the main plot started going downhill and became slow and repetitive. I really don't think it was necessary to drag it out to 20 episodes. I wanted to see more character development which I was only able to get with a few characters. There was also all this angst which I didn't understand where it was coming from, and other moments between the main cast which I found really hard to relate to. That being said, I hope to see Sunggyeol in more dramas, because he definitely moved up my bias list with this one~ ^^ I also enjoyed the angel world plot line and school plot lines which I wish were developed more. It had it's funny, cute, thrilling, and tear jerking moments. I really wanted to like this drama more, I really did but I kind of found myself pushing to finish.

I watched this drama a while back, in between dramas and actually watched it pretty quickly. However, it still seemed to drag a bit while watching. Most of the drama between the main characters happens the first episode with a few exceptions, and if I see that same ol' bicycle flash back so help me-- >.< lol.
---------------------------------------(SPOILER ALERT)----------------------------------------
At any rate, I did not like Park Ha Sun's character in this, she would have been a bigger fool if she had taken Youngchul back and accepted to being Choi Ji Woo's nurse. I'm a fan of Choi Ji Woo and Lee Jung Shin was good eye-candy. Hope to see him in more dramas. ^^ Don't really think I would recommend unless you watch dramas fairly quickly otherwise I think it would probably drag a lot more. That being said I still enjoyed watching and the ending was fairly satisfying.

I loved this drama because It gave a similar feeling to the jdramas from 90s.

The acting, chemistry, story were great. The only thing I hated was the wife, which was supposed to be hated anyway... I hated her so much that I grinned my teeth every time she appeared... Both leads were great and super-realistic.

I loved the fact that this drama has sexual elements. It is so tiring to watch all others that just ignore this subject. Sex is a fact of life and an important part of romance. Thank god the producers saw this. I also loved the fact that there was a gay couple! Finally, one step ahead of the bromance thingy...

This is a weird drama, as expected from the Japanese, but weirder than I imagined. The ending song is very nice, but my god, the music played on those 'exciting' scenes... That violin... Who the hell came up with that idea? I have no words to define it really.

This must have been called "Love and Business". As expected from the Japanese, business was always there, maybe more than love. But it didn't have any negative impact on the story I think, it was rather original.

Current rating of the series is totally under its real worth. But hey, we call this kind of gems "cult" for a reason! Watch it, if you want to see the soul of Japanese dramas :)

*SCREAMS* A drama filled with action and suprises! I thought this drama was overrated at first since I found the begining of the drama really slow... But after watching 10 episodes I was hooked. Usually I loose intrest after watching 10 episodes since the story gets less intresting. However this story is delicous, so tempting, each episode they are feeding you piece after piece and suddenly you get hooked. It's amazing, one of the most amazing dramas I've ever watched, probably the most incredible story line to involving so many people but yet so intresting.The acting is no joke, I'm highly impressed! It's definitly worth watching over and over. If I had the chance I would buy Healer on a DVD.

I first interested to watch this drama because I thought the casts were great. Turned out, it was not only the cast, but the whole story is amazing. I'm not really into historical drama, but right after I watched this movie, I wanted to learn more about Japanese history.

I love the connection built between Saburo amd Kichou. It was not cheesy romantic but somehow it feels really deep. Every character plays as an important part and has his/her own story was well developed. Acting was magnificent, gave me chills at some point of the story.
and frankly speaking, I think this is my favourite Shun Oguri, Takayuki Yamada, Issei Takahashi and Mukai Osamu's performance by far.
Music was awesome, really brought the whole atmosphere to the story.

If you're looking for some comedy with a touch of warmth, then this is it.
Will definitely rewatch and recommend this drama.

I watched it for no min woo. He was some sort of naive nerdy boy who only knows plants and a girl who wants to fit in to high society by lying about her school. The director was annoying me to pieces not because hes bad but his acting was getting on my nerves. He was cute in the beginning then the more screen time he had the more into himself he was. He talks with his eyebrows and thinks hes so cute. Ok im hating anyways min woo stripped down his role and i dunno about it, i hope he doesn't do this kind of role again, one time is enough. The girl was ok. It was an ok show nothing big about it.

HITTG is a very interesting drama. The story line isn't special, but the way the story is approached is unique. There is this underlying humor throughout that made me laugh and laugh. There are some sad moments also, but nothing overly melodramatic. It is a simple story while touching on principles of right conduct and/or ethics. For one thing, being right all the time won't always make you happy. Sometimes you end up alone and sad. Another thing is that money can't buy happiness. Also, tradition can become antiquated and it isn't always something that should continue. I don't know if it is a drama for everyone, but I enjoyed it.

I haven't seen Yoo Joon Sang an anything else that I can think of, but he is pretty spectacular as Han Jeong Ho. His expressions are excellent. I also haven't seen Yoo Jo Jeong in anything. She was ok as Choi Yeon Hee, but I really didn't feel for her character and I thought that I would eventually feel sorry for her. Lee Joon gets better with each role. I like him as boy/man Han In Sang. He portrayed his struggle really well. Where did Go Ah Sung come from? She did Seo Bom proud with strength and dignity. I enjoyed the other actors as well.

The music is pretty good. It doesn't get on my nerves, but nothing stands out.

I won't rewatch this.

I recommend this drama, but it isn't action packed or overly exciting. If you like dramas that make you think then this is for you.

So, first thing first, the synopsis is misleading. The guy takes the role of the Gary Sue character in place of the main girl and the whole point of the drama is the relationship between this innocent and naive flower boy (literally) with a woman that would do anything for her carreer. The premise sounds original enough and I considered it to be at least very good in the comedy department. I wasn't wrong. I have been following No Min Woo recently too and I was really excited to see him in a different role than the usual poker face'd one, as well as looking forward for another drama with Yang Jin Sung which I find to be an extremely good actress to be able to play a diversity of roles (note Bride of the Century).

The first episode was kind of awkward, but it was easy to get into it and follow it loyally till the few last episodes. The drama likes to play a lot on the contrast between Tae Woon and Ji Na which worked till up to episode 10 or so, however after that I felt like the plot started to drag out considerably. The tone of the show was not as colorful anymore and I found hard to feel for Tae Woon's situation. They started to pull out a lot of excuses and issues that were never actually a problem, also apologizing and taking blame for something that was not even in their power to stop and I really feel like episodes 12 and 13 were a complete waste of time. The story only got up to 7 for me because it attempted to be fresh and entertaining for most of the time, but in the end it just bit itself with it.

Character and cast wise, I feel like No Min Woo did a really good job. It was a new role for him that I think he handled perfectly, no matter how badly written Tae Woon might have been. However the rest of the characters tend to shine for a while and then bite themselves and going back to be simply "cliche'd troupes"; of the genre. Ji Na was a brilliant character that through the last few episodes just started to act like a dead fish, letting the people around her monologue their pains to her and she being completely ambigous about it. They turned an initially ambitious woman in a Marry Sue that can't tie two thoughts together and don't tell me that she had a reason for it because the drive and bluntness she had in the beginning couldn't have just jumped out the window. It was a complete waste of potential. Kang Hee Chul is also one of the strong points of the show in the beginning and safely stays as one till the last 10 minutes of the last episode, he completely took the spotlight from Tae Woon more than once, he was intriguing and I really liked his inner struggle between his feelings and his ambitions; a complex character that in the end just didn't deliver because of the "second main guy" barrier and because I guess the plot demanded him to. About Hye Mi, she also surprised me in a pleasant way, I didn't expect her to be that likeable and I feel it's the first time besides maybe Bride of the Century case that I really felt for her and I hoped she will get something good out of it all...but that too backlashed at her when she started to act too much like a pain and a badly used cliche. However the actors didn't disappoint. This drama actually made me curious in following Jung Yoon Hak. He wasn't perfect, but I find him to have a very fascinating charm that other actors miss.

Soundtrack wise it was...alright I guess. Average. Forgettable. I usually do pay attention to these things, so this time I really didn't feel like any of the songs stand out. Some were nice and funny, but that's really all.

You know? I really wanted to give this drama a 7 but in the end counting all overall problems that I had with it in the last 6 episodes, I just couldn't bring myself to. 7 is still a Good rating for me but it was more closer to Fine (6) due to its trying to be original and I chose to value that.

Let me first start off by saying that I found the drama much different than the official synopsis. It had me thinking that it was about a selfish woman who lies all the time for her own benefit and her upright and moral boyfriend who loves her anyway. That is not at all what this drama is about. It's about a woman who accidentally finds herself in a misunderstanding about what university she attended and so just goes along with it so that she can keep her new job. She frequently has bouts of guilt and though she doesn't speak up about it, she never technically lies about it, either. Also, she does not have a boyfriend. The whole drama is about how she ends up with one.

I started this drama because of No Min Woo but the way his character was written, especially in the beginning, was horrible! I could not, at any point, see him as a romantic contender for the lead girl. In fact, I just could not see the character as a romantic partner for anyone. He came across as a child. One who has never reached puberty and likely never will. What made it so much worse was how, in the first few episodes, the writers did all they could to creep the viewer out by adding such obvious sexual inneuendo and outright blatant sexual situations meant to be comical but instead come across as cheesy and inappropriate. With the character written to behave emotionally like a 10 year old, I found myself feeling almost dirty while watching. Thank goodness the writers eventually got a clue and stopped including it. It made the rest of the drama watchable and even cute.

I still would have given this drama a lower score, though, thanks to the godawful beginning episodes, the cheesy writing and the simplistic, nothing special plot. However, what made me rate it as high as a 7 was because: 1. It did become rather cute and ended very heartwarming and 2. Jung Yoon Hak. Seriously. This guy needs a lead role now! As much as I love No Min Woo, JYH stole the show for me. I was having some major second lead syndrome going on here. His character was much more interesting and complex.
Not to mention sexy!

Bottom line. Not the best drama ever made. Mostly mindless entertainment, but is cute towards the second half. However, I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone.

Neither the writer nor the director could decide whether to produce a comedy, serious romance, or melodrama. What they produced, instead, was a total flop.

Part of the failings came from the lead actress Lee Bo Yong. She is an exercise in how not to act. Talented acting should appear natural and genuine. However,she must have practiced facial expressions in the mirror because in the course of a two minute conversation, she could put her face through about a dozen contortions. None of them were attractive or funny.

Perhaps the worst kissing scene is in this drama.. Lee Bo Yong pulls a spider man mask over her face. Ahn Jae Wook lifts it above her mouth to kiss her. All the while, Yong's eye are popping out of the eye holes. Far from romantic, it seemed alien and grotesque.

In the first episode the writer tried to make some comic scenes out of a mixup with gay partners. That fell flat and the couple was quickly written out of the drama. The attempt to draw some interest with hotel takeover intrigue fell flat. And the one father, two family complications were also a bore. Nothing seemed to flow and, inevitably, there was no pathos with the final melodrama. There was simply no connection or feeling for the characters.

I watched this to see Ahn Jae Wook in another role after Star in My Heart. But he wasn't enough to salvage this one.
