The drama presented different syndromes and psychological problems in details so the audience -even if completely ignorant- would at least understand a rough idea about the syndrome. And at the same time it was never boring. I learned about some for the first time and I learned and researched more about the ones I had an idea about.
The acting of the main cast and the guests were superb. I must applaud Song Chang Ui's performance. He did a great job.
There were some fun moments, in the right place. The music was suitable.
The mystery remained till the end and I liked that -OCN!- I liked how the cases would seem unrelated but end up as a part of a chain.
Again; the great dramas are cruelly short. Hope there's another season. OCN lets us hope. Thanks fortune there's God's Quiz to make us hope.
Here's the Currently Watching article I wrote when I started watching the drama:

But there were a lot of not-so-awesome parts in it too. The storyline is the worst part. Have you seen Boys Over Flowers? Good, then you've seen about 2/5 of this show, except this time the cast is way too old to pull of the high school scene. Seriously, I just made it college in my mind to get through it since there was NO WAY those people were 17-18. The bullying, the fights, the petty bickering, even much of Lee Min Ho's relationship with the girl - it all comes right out of BoF. Although, Eun Sang has nothing on Jan Di; I didn't feel like she felt anything for Kim Tan until at least 3/4 of the way through the show.
Worst, the ending completely and totally sucks. Seriously, Korean dramas are infamous for leaving webs unwoven, but what was up with this drama? There were so many unfinished plot threads, it drove me nuts! What happened to the mistress and dad? Is Young-Do's father going to be okay-and does this mean their relationship is going to survive or at least improve? Is Hyo-Shin really, really okay? What about Myung-Soo? They introduced the idea that he's suffering there at the end but never explained why or how it might be resolved. What about Young-Do? Is he not alone anymore, because Gosh-Darn-it, I want him to have someone to hug! What about Kim Tan's mom? How is she going to survive? And will the dad finally realize what he's about to lose? What about the company? Was Won's loss all for nothing, or will his enemies now back off? Perhaps the worst of it all, I still wish Kim Tan had a better girlfriend than Cha Eun Song.
Kim Tan is one of the very few characters who truly deserves the best that life can provide him. He's good-hearted, determined, caring, and generous to those around him. Other than his lack of drive or ambition/inability to do a decent day's work, he's pretty awesome. And I don't feel like it's resolved at the end. After all the times she's run off and ditched him without warning, I don't feel like you can trust Eun Song (or anyone else in his life) not to do it again. I suppose I feel like Won is going to be there for him now, but that brings me back to Won and the way the show completely ruined him. I hated where they left him and I'll never forgive this show for that. Or the way it left the other characters. Yeah, the ending just sucked.
Anyway, the message expressed was actually pretty good and kind of interesting. It seemed to be based on the theme "be careful what you wish for." If you put Fame and Fortune at the top of your list, you may not be happy when you get it. Conversely, sometimes love and passion just isn't enough. You have got to think about the people around you, not just your love for one individual. It's a story about bad parents and children left to raise themselves. A story about becoming a man, but not rushing to grow up too soon. About loving family, because they may be all you have left.
The actual acting and technical elements were AWFUL in the beginning, while it was set in America. It makes the Americans look like either drug-addicted, violent, wife-abusing criminals or fat, stupid, drug-addicted criminals. To be honest, I wasn't real impressed with the first few episodes. Between the bad acting, the plot holes, the completely unbelievable coincidences, and other random annoyances, I didn't really get into it until after he was back in Korea (which took a few episodes). Then it smoothed out and got a more well made (until the awful ending).
Would I recommend it? Maybe. . . If you liked Boys over Flowers, it reminds me a lot of that show. But I would almost recommend you stop it about two episodes early. It picked up a ton of unnecessary angst just to drag the show out and it completely ruined the story. If you do pick this up, don't stop until after he's back in Korea. You don't get a feel for the drama until after that; everything before is just cheap intro.

I love both of the main characters so I decided to watch the drama.The begining is really attracting but later the set change completely... I don't really like to feel out of place in a serie or a drama...
I know there's a lot of people who've been disappointed by this drama but there's a real work that I find amazing but I can't tell it there because it would be considered as a spoiler. But there's this thing that is completely different that other dramas but I think a lot of people missed it :/
I definitely love the songs, I think they are amazing and appropriate and that's all I wanted to say ^^

The cast was superb; could not think of anyone better. Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young had beautiful chemistry that made me smile just seeing them in the same room together. The whole Clark Kent trope was done magnificently: Ji Chang Wook playing Jung Hoo playing Bong Soo... it's amazing work. Truly. Yoo Ji Tae was wonderful as well... I was worried for Moon Ho a little at the beginning but he really came through in the end. Of course Young Shin was more than just a 2D heroine... Park Min Young has improved since City Hunter.
Can I just say that Eternal Love is my all time favorite OST now? "It's a beautiful feeling... what we've got deep inside...." I just... aw.
The story was wonderfully executed. It didn't drag on for too long like most dramas tend to do... milking out every little plot point and upping the melodramatic angst unnecessarily. Healer made sure to address each plot point and moved on to the next one while still staying on top of the main plot. What I loved most about this is that between Jung Hoo and Young Shin, there was not REAL K-drama trope of the "misunderstanding" or "first love" angst. When a problem arose, they TALKED IT OUT like a normal couple might and worked through it in less than one episode.
I definitely recommend this drama to anyone who loved City Hunter, but is ready to add in more of the comedy and a more natural romance. Min Young and Lee Min Ho looked good together, but I think I may like Chang Wook better. I also recommend this drama to someone who is into secret identities, spying, high tech gear, and all around wonderfully choreographed action sequences. Definitely worth a rewatch.

The story's a bit odd. It's a romance drama but they added some sort of sci-fantasy in it so it isn't - just - a romance drama. It's as if they didn't want to repeat the whole - rich guy and average girl fight to stay together thing - so they threw in a few special powers. They did tie it all together though. They tried their best to make sense of it all so it isn't as if they randomly gained super powers so I congratulate them on that. There was also too much going on. I understand that they want a background story for each character but we needed to be reminded of what the main goal of the story was. The main story was overshadowed by the side stories. I wanted to learn more about how the super powers were affecting the characters daily lives instead of the main couple's struggle (then again it was a romance drama...). The story needed revising and the writers needed to find a way to organize everything.
About the acting, the relationships were confusing. If I were to draw a chart of how everyone's relationships worked it would be like a weird star-ish shape thingy. Due to the messy relationships the acting was sub-par. Each person did well on their own part but when they were to act like they were in love with another character... it was hard to believe due to the odd star-ish figure.
Supporting characters' relationships were even more convincing than the main character's relationship. The main male lead and the female lead seemed so distant. He was better matched with the second female lead... In fact, everyone was better off with their second love option which was confusing because we are told that their one true love was their first pairing... Their acting of their super powers were more convincing than their love lines...
The music was not memorable they did set the mood though. In fact, there was so much background music all the time I don't recall silence. It was always climactic music. It felt like everything they were doing was important. Then again they had powers so everything they were doing - was - important compared to anything an average person would be doing.
Rewatch value is @ 5/10 cause I don't think I'd rewatch it. I honestly liked the second love options for each person much more than the main ones. Even if their relationship was plausible - they were lacking in romantic scenes, you'd probably get more intimacy between the supporting roles. The story was also predictable. The ending wasn't really an ending. I've watched other dramas of the cast and I'd say this wasn't their best work. For a Sci-fantasy romance drama, this one failed.

The story felt familiar. It was a great display of mature love and relationships. If you were hoping for heart racing & grand romance, this isn't it. You see quarrels within the family and marriage. You witness the life of this one family who just happens to be unlucky. It was a story that focused on everyone's point of view in marriage, love, family and life. Although you are only given the inner narration of the first male lead - he helps guide you through not only his emotions but others emotions as well. It was a narration that reflected the past. It's like the male lead learns as he narrates which really gives you space to feel. You aren't restricted to his anger and sorrow. You know he has the potential to grow out of his anger. When his narration isn't given you can see the point of view of the other characters and you come to take the side of the other characters.
The acting was great. I always found the main actress amazing but seeing as she was playing a character that could be hated by a large amount of viewers due to her situation, I really admired her. She conveyed her feelings really well. The character herself was really well written. She was outspoken and stood up for herself so it wasn't hard to like her. The second male lead was not seen as only - the other party-. We witnessed his side of the story as well. The male lead gave us a wide range of emotions which made him extremely enabling. He showed growth throughout the drama. I really liked the family's acting as well. It wasn't just yelling and shouting. When they cried I did too. It wasn't just typical loud family acting.
The Music is beautiful. It was music that would make you want to stare out the window and just zone out. It was calming, soft and a perfect representation of Valid Love. The lyrics conveyed strong emotions of longing and emptiness as the melody tries to calm you down from the given message. The OST makes time move slow.
The rewatch value is @ 8.5 / 10 cause it isn't exactly a bright and light drama. I'd watch it only when I feel down and mellow. I do have to say, there is a sense of completion after you finish this drama. It feels like a lot has been lifted off your shoulder.

It tends to be a bit lagging in the middle but the ending was surprising. I wanted to stop watching halfway through, but was totally suprised at the ending. Clever, clever screenwriter tripping the audience last minute.

The story is amazing. I can see how it was originally a manga and then an anime. Although, I've heard that the manga and anime were different from the drama. The summary of the drama is very close to what it is for the first part of it. At one point it changes its direction / approach and that's when I was amazed. The plot reveals are just perfect. I remember there was this one point where I just had to continue watching although it was 3AM in the morning. The drama keeps you guessing on several things while staying on task. You're always reminded of the main motive of the characters. You'd think you got everything figured out only to be punched in the gut and have to guess it all over again.
The acting was good. I can't say it was great because sometimes the long pauses to create anticipation just didn't do it for me. Sometimes the acting felt cheesy to me. The supporting roles didn't have enough story to them for you to really attach yourselves to them. Thus when they are to act a certain emotion, it just doesn't come off as genuine. Nonetheless, everyone did well cause they were creepy when they had to be and light when the situation demanded so.
The OST is amazinggg. I loved it and searched for it once I hit the 3rd or 4th episode. It really reflects the whole situation. It had some technological and mechanical sounds which went really well with the setting of the story. Thriller soundtracks are always great. When listening to it alone you can imagine yourself trying to solve something very important when you might just be making toast LOL!
Rewatch value is @ 7 /10 cause I'm sure once you know the reveals they aren't as exciting but the romance in the story is heartwarming. I'd watch it for the romance. It also comes off as slow and repetitive when you rewatch it - only because you know what's coming up and wish that it would happen faster.

Enjoyed seeing the story unravel, understanding the history behind the situation, seeing the various characters develop and mature. I think this is OK for younger viewers too, no nudity or mature themes. Watching it gave me some thoughts on my life and how I often found it difficult to move on from the past.
There's no dynamic action and the story doesn't explode on you, but if you enjoy a slower and more mellow drama with a heartwarming ending, this is one you might enjoy.

I've always been a huge fan of Slice of life so that's only natural this drama grabbed my attention.The title itself was enough to convince me to start it as soon as I have time, not to mention Takenouchi Yutaka's presence and the family theme , I knew this was for me just by looking at the synopsis. Furthermore We hardly see in dramaland a father taking care of a child by himself and what he has to go through without a wife's help.Certainly this drama came right on time, exactly when I felt so sad, it warmed my heart because it gives hope to people, it tells them they can do anything as long as they have faith.
You know why I loved this drama ? This is simple : because it brought me many emotions and only Slice of Life can do that to me and that's also why I always give them the highest rating, they never disappoint at least the ones I pick, I talked about emotions, we can not watch this drama and feel nothing this is impossible unless of being insensitive. And OMG the music was perfectly fitting for the emotional scenes , it played with my emotions, ah those Japanese are so good!
Kazoku is very different from the other dramas, this one focuses more on a father trying to raise a child as I said before, and us, as citizens we are preconceived to think that only the mother takes care of the children and that she's the one who has to take care of the house, but we have to get out of our heads that the chores are not limited to her, a father can also work outside and lend a hand, right? And that's precisely what Ryohei wants to prove, not only to him but to his wife, his son and friends. So Why not let him do his role ? And to me he was shining as a father, he was doing his best in raising Yuto : preparing him bentos every morning, taking him to Kindergarten,playing outside even goin' to the restaurant. Everyone around him witnessed all the efforts he put for his child and that was so beautiful. This drama shows us what a father-son bond should be and I felt it. Of course, only by himself with the long days he has at work he could not be 24 hours a day with his son, so one Man "Saeki Shinji" and this man is the Man, the nicest one ever, the one who will never resent others no matter bad things people could have done to him; the one who will always stay true to himself and help the ones in need. My point here is to say that Shinji was next to Ryohei and was willing to stay with his son when he was not able to come to the kindergarten and pick him up. He did it with great pleasure and not asking something in exchange, this is the kind of man he is and unfortunately there are not enough like him in this vast wolrd T_T .
I see Shin-chan ( I'm sorry I think that Yuto influenced me because I love calling him that way too) as a Wise man because all what he says is for others good, even if others disagree with him, he will only tell these things in order to help them, he never intends to harm people around him. He said so many beautiful words that deeply touched my heart, I think I'll keep them in mind for a long long time. I'll have so many things to say about this Oji San, he is one of the most generous character I've ever seen up until now but I think that I said enough. If you want to know what I felt about him just go watch the drama and you will only have admiration for him because he is a man of honor.
Spoiler Alert ///////// Now it's time to talk about the kid, I laughed when I discovered that the best friend he was talking about to his father was none other than Shin chan a 61 years old man, an Oji san.ahah !
Yuto is one true awesome cute kid, he is so smart and always able to see that something is wrong with his parents, this poor little thing always felt guilty when his parents were having an argument I felt bad for him.
And what suprised me the most about Yuto is that he only asks the right questions, as if he sensed when something went wrong between his parents.
I have mixed feelings about Satomi (Yuto's mother), because I could not understand why she absolutely wanted to get a divorce, it's not as if her husband was a jobless man who leaved them behind, he did not work that much because he loved it. to me he did all that to ensure them financial support. Maybe he should have shown them a father's presence and have activities with them, on that I agree and yes he did not do his part as a father and husband at the beginning. I litterally cried when I heard about the apple tree story, that was so touching and we could see in Ryohei's eyes that he was so sorry for not being able to be with them and pick apples like he promised to his wife.
What pissed me off the most, is that she was the only one who did not wanted to see that he really made efforts to become the father he was not before and said he could not change, she was totally wrong, ah I'm kind of crazy sometimes so I was in front of my screen yelling at her. \\\\\\\\\ End of spoiler
To sum up in one sentence, this drama is full of reflexions about life, it will bring tears to the most emotionals because everything in this drama is meaningful :p
REWATCH VALUE is a full 10 because I know that everytime I feel sad this one will give me courage.
Oh and I can recommend 'Woman" & "Tonbi" with the same theme, they also deal with a single parent trying to raise children to the best of their abilities and they are also true masterpiece (of course that's only my opinion).

This show is like a series all on it's own, yes it has 53 episodes. But these episodes are broken down into 3 seasons. But to not go all umm what is going on? It's best to watch KO One then the X family (seasons 1 and 2) of this whole dimensional crazy world.Not to mention anything that would be considered a spoiler, because it's not. Watching the other seasons would give you a better understanding of the words 'gold dimension' 'iron dimension' and 'silver dimension' just saying.
I really fell in love with this series and it found my love and knowledge of the group Fahrenheit. As KO one is the first ever drama they did together when they were starting out. In total this whole series has spanned a decade since the first season. I admit it's taken me awhile to get to season 3 of the series, because out of all of the seasons, this one is very hard to find complete unless if you were lucky enough to download it.
This season/series throws a character from season 2 for a loop in a totally different dimension. You get to see a couple familiar faces from other drama's you've seen, as this is back in 2009 so it's like back when they were all new and cute faces then all over familiar ones in various dramas.
Like season 2 (The X family) this gives you a look on what another alternate self would be like. Had fun in the last season wonder what will come next in personalities of familiars in this one. Making you wonder if other world/dimensions exist other then this one.
With the music there will be familiar songs you recognize from seasons 1 and 2 done differently, either in instrumental or different voice. Making you go hey wait a minute! Isn't this from ... Along with new songs.
Like the previous seasons there are moment's that make you go wth, and laugh and worry and wonder. There is something that is repeated in like almost every episode that will have you doing that or wishing it was real.
So
KO One (season 1)
The X Family (season 2)
this season KO 3anguo
then continue on with
KO Return
KO Re-act
The X Dormitory
and current season
Angel N Devil
I know it might seem scary with soooo many seasons in a series, but this drama series is more like a dramedy with funny moments that will have you in stitches no matter what season you're in. So far anyway... Off to season 4 KO Return!

Pretty well done and very, very tragic all at the same time. This show had some of the best casting I've seen in a drama yet, and Dong Chi (Choi Jin Hyuk) and Kang Soo (Lee Tae Hwan) stole it away pretty quickly. The secondary cast was simply amazing in their roles, and they were almost more important than the leads to me. To be honest, I think of the leads, Kang Soo was the best all around actor although Dong Chi certainly did a wonderful job. But considering that Kang Soo is still a little new, he never once failed his role. They kept in character and made you feel that the emotions they displayed were real and honest. I felt like they had great chemistry, bouncing well off of one another and the rest of the cast members. The relationships between Kang Soo-Chang Gi and Dong Chi - Chief Moon were very well developed. The secondary cast also worked wonderfully with each other, and the script successfully used them as both plot developers and stress-relieving comedy at all the right places. Jang Won (Choi Woo Shik) and Gwang Mi (Jeong Hye Song) were dazzling in their roles and played their parts exceptionally. Without them, the story would have been far to dark and depressing, but with them it was the perfect mix of comedy and serious thought-proving storyline.I didn't actually really care at all for Han Yeol Moo (Baek Jin Hee), and she took away some of the points I would have given the show. I'm not sure if it was bad acting or bad scripts, but her character just didn't really work. I'm used to the female stars being, well stubborn sure, but mostly good-hearted, solid morals, and someone who thinks of others first. But Yeol Moo has little patience for other people, actively and deliberately hurt her mom, and had no respect for the rule of law or her superiors. I mean, I understand that the point is that when bad guys are in control, you may have to work the system. But she actually was willing to sentence another girl to death or to sacrifice up evidence just to get her and her boyfriend out of trouble. Although the show never dealt with it, she was sometimes quoting basically the same thought processes as the bad guys she wanted to stop. It didn't help that her expressions were non-existent or just felt off, I never felt that her feelings (anger or love alike) were actually real.
Korean Dramas usually focus on personal relationships, with the political message in the background. However, Pride and Prejudice definitely pulled its themes forward, with the romance and friendships being largely a secondary plotline. The show questions the theory that "the ends should justify the means" with both good and bad characters trying to argue their point using this premise. Is it okay to do bad things for a good ending? Or what if you only do something wrong because it is the "lesser evil?" The show pulled in themes of Corruption, Pride, Self-Entitlement, Good v. Evil, Bad Leadership, and knowing when to draw the line. I thought one of the most interesting points the show brought up was the question of what to do when you can't defeat the evil. Most shows want to portray the bad guys as defeatable, but that isn't really true. Whenever one bad guy is defeated, another one is probably going to follow shortly. Furthermore, if the bad guy you want is only a middle-man, is it worth your career to stop him when you know the leader will walk away? We want to put everything on the line only when the person we're chasing is the ultimate evil. But what if he isn't? What if there are 50 others worse than him running around waiting to be stopped later? Will you still risk everything to stop the one? I liked this show just because it made me think, and gave us some interesting things to talk about when it was over.
The plotline was somewhat standard KDrama fare, but also threw in a bunch of unique elements. For the first time ever, there wasn't much of a triangle. This wasn't about the romances; the show wanted you to focus more on the philosophical questions of morality and good citizenship instead. The crime itself was actually well set up and had lots of new or unique little twists and elements. It wasn't the simple murder; there were about ten layers to even plot development, with each character having their own side to tell. The bad guys who weren't really bad guys, the good guys who made horrible mistakes, the bad guys who were just bad guys, and the good guys who were so good as to be little earthly good. The show pulled them all in, asking you to look at humans, our ethical systems, and the important question of when can the right go wrong.
There were of course a few plot holes (especially with the ending being so rushed), but overall, I wasn't too disappointed with it. On the one hand, the weak ending was a really, really weak ending. It went too fast, it left a lot of loose ties, it didn't finish things at all. On the other hand, t was well written and well-designed, even if it left me crying and largely unsatisfied at the end. To be honest, I think it needed an unsatisfying ending, because that's the point. The battle is never over, the next generation simply takes over the reigns and pushes on.

First of all, you find out it's a 24 episodes series and you might think it will be boring or drag too much but it's really not the case. One of the reasons is the depth and character development of all the supporting actors and not just the main lead couple. You will find yourself rooting for so many characters , you will be filled with a wave of emotions like no other. I cried like a river in the series, I laughed, I felt devastated, it made my heart flutter and squished.
One of the gems of this show is it's music. A TRULY Amazing OST. Pretty much every actor in this show can sing. So many talented actors that gave the show some magic with their voice.
I don't have to say much about the acting. It was very good. Some fighting scenes seemed a bit unbelievable but it's a fantasy series. My only drawback is that the female lead who was supposed to be seen as a boy to others, didn't look like a boy to me at all. If you have watched Coffee Prince you should already know how a girl who acts as a boy should really look. Other than that, no complaint.
The story was intriguing and well written. I was moved so much by Choi Jin Hyuk's story line.
Finally, you should definitely try this even of you are not a fan of historical series, like me. This show really deserves a second season, that's my only wish ^-^
