Story::
I've always loved revenge plots and this one was written and executed so well its at the top of my list now. The twists, turns and curve ball this drama throws is very nicely done. Always a surprise, always keeps you on the edge. I don't want to say too much. But the main guy is a genius.
Characters/Acting::
Marvellous. Stunning. Fantastic. The chemistry between actors is fantastic. Oh the relationships are astounding, based on a very crumbly base that can either break under the pressure or lock together. The characters play their part so well. I was worried that the main lead actress wouldn't be acting very well (like in The moon embraces the sun) but it turned out to be alright!
Overall: Definitely worth the watch.

Story::
The story was alright. Nothing special. I noticed that the main actor was supposed to be shown 'doing the right thing' but the things that she 'did' ruined the lives of other characters. And by doing so the viewer, you and I, began to think 'The hell is this woman doing?'. Even though she was 'doing' the right thing, it felt like she was being selfish. The writing for this drama didn't make much sense to me. Reactions by the characters did not at all match their situation. When they needed to be angry there weren't as angry as they should've been. The romance in the drama also felt kind of forced. There was always another love interest for the main female lead, and it never left the back of my mind that she had moved on. Even till the last episode.
Acting::
Very well done, except for what I mentioned earlier. The anger just wasn't there.
Overall, this is a fun drama to watch. You'll pull your hair out (granted you have any hair left from pulling your hair out during other dramas...you addict) and you'll laugh and cry. Definitely take this in light doses. Watching this in one go, is not what I'd recommend.

Story:: 9/10
The story kind of got you hooked, it was interesting and the relationships were kdrama-like, as expected. The plot developed very well, and had some sad parts aswell.
Characters/Actors: 9/10
The side characters that are supposed to make you laugh, actually made me laugh in this drama. The main leads played their roles well, and the main support characters were kniving and devious as expected. Acting was really good in this drama.
Music: 9/10
Stuck to me. Like it :)
Overall I enjoyed watching this drama, it was a refreshing relief after watching Fashion King.

Awesome story, the transition from past to future is really well done. Makes you think. Actors played characters really very well. Music was awesome. Just sometimes I stood and wondered..what is that dude wearing? But then quickly realized in the world of kdrama..everything is possible.

Story::
9/10
Really well put together story. I don't really know what else I can say about it..except that in royal dramas like these, it seems that these royals can get away with everything. It urks me but its most probably true. Anywho, the story was really good, event flowed the way you'd expect to in a drama, but the romance seemed really one-sided till the last couple of episodes and by last couple I mean last 4-5 episodes.
Acting/Characters::
10/10
Characters were flawed and that made it better. Actual emotions that normal people would have was portrayed by the main female lead, usually if the guy does something jerkish in Kdrama's the girl swoon forgivingly and follows. Not for this one though, and I liked it. What bothered me about the main male protagonist was that he didn't assert his position as a husband...ever..in the whole freaking drama. It was really bothersome. But the reason was explained later on in the series.
All in all everyone acted fantastically.
Music::
Sticks to you..10/10
Rewatch?
I dont rewatch any dramas.

Story:::7/10
Story is of a typical playboy trying to get with a girl who he starts to fall in love with. However, the story also revolves around his other three friends as well and their love lives. There isn’t anything fantastic about the story. Its just that these guys are older, and that is always a factor that is brought up in the plot. Story development is enjoyable, kind of drags along. I didn’t watch this in one sitting, I ended up watching this drama over 2 weeks..which is a really long time to finish a drama for me. However, that being said, this story is not at all a let-down. It really makes you laugh out loud at some points which is a really surprising. I haven’t lolled in a drama for a while.
Characters/Acting::: 8/10
The characters are pretty awesome. The four guys when they’re together actually come across as four really close friends since highschool. These guys have solid acting. The ladies are pretty solid aswell. The main female lead is pretty awesome when she gets bummed out. Its pretty hilarious. There is a lot of female crying in this drama. Sorry, crying isn’t the right word..balling is probably more fitting. These women open their mouths and wail the wail of a thousand new widows in one sitting. Its frightening, because it is actually…. Legitimately being passed on to the viewer as a ‘sad moment’…how can it be sad, when their tears causes you to laugh?
Music:::7/10
Matched the mood, not good enough to add to my playlist though.
Rewatch? Wouldn’t…I never rewatch.
Overall:: 7/10

Story:::
The story line was okay, it was understandable, and probably is the first marriage-contract-dramas I've seen. It was funny at certain points. Followed the typical drama story evolution (if you watch a lot of dramas you know what I'm talking about). Truthfully, I expected much more conflict, but it was an easy-going no misconception drama.
Acting/Characters::
Acting was well done. Character were well portrayed. However, there was a sudden change in the main Chaebol character that bothered me a lot. People don't tend to change personalities on a whim, which is what happened here. They attempted to show that he developed into a easy-going fella but they didn't do it well enough. However, the main lead actress maintained her character very well and the character was developed well enough to let the viewer know what was going on. She was good :)
Music::
I like the OST. The songs matched the moods, unlike other dramas where they're playing happy music at the saddest situation smh...Anywho OST was good and music was well placed.
Rating:
8/10

Story::
The story in this movie develops well. It's about a retired gang member who is on the verge of inheriting a gang-kingdom. But there's an assassin out for him (SSK) who is just a high-school sharpshooter that got caught with the wrong crowd. The story is interesting; however, I felt confused at one point trying to figure out who the bad guy was and who was the King.
Acting/Characters::
Played very well. I'm never disappointed by SSK's acting. The characters developed really well, you know get what's going on in their heads.
Music::
Fit the mood, and enjoyable.
Overall:: 9/10

Story:: 9/10
Original story, haven't seen a haunting like it. Where the haunting is due to the song! Characters were well structured and they made sense.
Acting/cast:: 9/10
Cast was good, everyone was convincing and it played out well.
Music 9/10
I enjoyed the main song, it was good and i have it on my pl :3..even though its cursed :)
Recommended!

Story::
It was another "fateful" meeting drama. Nothing new that I felt. Truly, it seemed as though the plot was going to deepen in the first couple of episodes but it kept going round and round in circles. Unfortunately, I became too bored to continue.
Acting/Characters::
The characters were the breaking point for me. Acting is fantastic though, these actors can do a very good job. Characters however....I could not stand the goofy-happy-always-smiling-and-jolly guy that the main lead played. It urked the hell out of me.
Music::
Fit very well with the mood.
would never rewatch though...
