The overall story line was about the struggles of North Korea,which was amazing but it was too stretched out.Also the love story get very boring after awhile unless you enjoy romance a lot.
I rewatched this drama with my older sister and she also had a similar opinion but she said it was very boring at some points especially with the love story.
Acting was fantastic and the music matched the tension in the drama the majority of the time.I understand that they tried to use a commonly popular pop song to express how the information and freedom of creativity is limited but I found their choice of sound very random ,that's just a personal opinion though.
Personally If i had to rate this separately as medical drama i would give a 8-9 as for the love story i'd give a 4-5 to be honest i'm very bias.The only reason personally why i loved this drama was because the medical portion of it but if it wasn't a medical drama and just a love story, then i would have given a lower score.
If i do decide to rewatch it by myself I can honestly say i would just skip to the surgery scenes directly.

The story line itself is very interesting.I enjoyed how the discriminite side of society is revealed.It can be interpreted in many different ways the message of the story itself.Everyone is scared of someone/something that is not normal.Overall I found the plot of the drama very unorganized.
There are three sections to this drama.The transition from the first to the second was not done well. To be honest I loved the second part because you learn more about the characters but what took away from it was how they got there.I won't go too much into detail since I will not reveal any spoilers.I usually say in dramas that the storyline is always extended and that it would be better if it were shorten.This drama is not like those other ones.This drama needs more episodes because by the end of the drama you can tell how rushed and clearly see the transition of every section.
Acting......umm it wasn't bad I will say that.This was my first time having seen all the actors and actresses.In my opinion I thought the supporting roles acted better than the main roles.I won't point out the specific episodes but overall I found mari's body language very awkward at times. Jae min I found had almost a blank expression the majority of the time, there was a part were he was supposed to look confused and scared due to an incident that took place....Yeah i thought it was a joke since his expression didn't really "sell it".I found at some points their acting very unnatural,I understand seolhyun is new to acting so i look forward to her growth in the future :3
Music..To be honest i only liked the first song they performed.The rest were boring to me so i'll have to listen to those later and read the translations so I can better understand it.(will edit this portion later)
Neither do I think I will rewatch nor recommend this drama... It just didn't make me fall involve with it.Overall it was very entertaining and I'm glad I tried it out.
To my knowledge I know this drama was based on a online cartoon.I can not give a fully honest review since I have not read it but If do so later I will come back and edit this review.

Though I didn't cry while watching this drama it left a mark.The acting of all the cast was amazing. The family's reaction and acting were superb. The expressions of pain and sadness were so realistic!
The music matched everything perfectly especially the song in the trailer.
I would rewatch this drama with friends, it's so touching and the message sent is very inspiring. This drama has actually got me very interested to the point where i want to read the book from this drama was originally based off.The flaw I found was there were sometimes that I skipped since they seemed like fillers. Other then that I have no other negative thing to say.

This drama completely failed to interest me.
The story line itself isn't something unique; rich boy fall for poor girl.
At first I found it very interesting and loved JanDi's personality but It changed too quickly after a few episodes.Meaning that her personality did a complete flip, yes i understand this is a romance drama and usually their personality softens but for the story to seem more realistic i felt that a part of her old self should've been seen.
The only reason i managed to finish it was for the side characters.
The Side characters' personalities were stable and acting were superb and felt myself rooting for the them opposed to the main couple.
The main character couple just got repetitive and made me lose interest quickly.Honestly I felt it was due to the duration of the drama.
The acting was superb..I've seen dramas with Lee minho and Goo Hye since they're very popular, but this drama, in my opinion didn't make me fall in love with them like their other dramas did.I'm not sure if it was due to their character or not.I will admit their acting seemed very natural and since I've seen them in other present dramas I can definitely say they grew as actors with the experience.
Music was entertaining I enjoyed the majority of the songs.
Mainly the ones from SS501 and SHINee.
Felt everything matched very well the climax of the story till the ending.
The F4 aka the popular rich guys are everyone's dream boy, they're the perfect representation for the ideal men.Which is why till this day most shows in korea used them as a reference when describing a group of good looking men.This drama is constantly looked back which is why it's famously known.
I will not be re watching this I know that for sure.
Unless you really enjoy a over dramatic love stories then I don't recommend this drama.
All actors and actresses portrayed their characters well but the overly storying line and duration made the overly experience fairly poor.
