Women are the real protagonists of this story, from the wise and kind queen Inhyeon to the terrible villain Jang Hui Bin.
The plot is really interesting, full of intrigues and conspiracies.. a look at korean history and a tender and fresh love story between the king Sukjong and Dong Yi.. It may seem like a never-ending drama since it has 60 episodes, instead it was really nice and smooth..and it seemed to have really followed Dong Yi's whole life..
There were many unforgettable characters like king Sukjong, a wise leader for his people and a skilled politician but also a kind hearted and even funny person.. thanks to Jin Ji Hee's acting^^
I also loved many supporting roles..who can forget the eunuch? XD
Han Hyo Joo is one of my favorite actresses and I don't need to say that she was great as Dong Yi.
I loved the setting of the royal palace, the sumptuous and colorful costumes and the lovely music. The OST gave a nostalgic feeling to the whole drama.
If you want to know more about korean history in a beautiful and interesting way this is a drama for you^^

In 1998, Fang Mu is an arrogant but brilliant student who can profile a criminal in a few minutes without hesitation. But when we move to 2001, he is not the same self-confident guy anymore, he has built a barrier to defend himself from the past, from something that happened three years before. We don't know what made him change, we find our answers slowly, as we go on with the story.
Each murder case is brutal but well-designed. You find yourself absorbed in the story and when you finish the puzzle, you notice how the pieces fit together perfectly.
What grasps the attention is also the inner struggle that Fang Mu has to fight. "If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you".
As I said before, Evil Minds is a dark drama but it's also beautiful. With "beautiful" I mean the artistic quality of the filming, the quality of the scriptwriting and the choice of the soundtrack (especially the ending song, "Flying Horse" by Luo Er).
The acting is very good, especially because they aren't veteran actors. (And Chen Ruo Xuan is really cute ehm ehm XD).
I feel indebted to Evil Minds, so I recommend to give a chance to this great drama that has gone unnoticed.

When you think you've figured out how it works, the cards are mixed again, the allies stab you from behind and in the true sense of the word!
The drama has an intricate plot with equally complex characters, each one of them divided between good and evil..
It's full of action, corruption, betrayal and suspense but this is not all.. even in an environment where you can't trust anyone, there's someone who is still willing to risk or even sacrifice his life for another person..
The romance isn't the focal point, but it was of great importance to complete the plot.. Shi Hyun and Soo Min had an incredible chemistry.. they had an impossible but really passionate and breathtaking relationship!!
About the cast.. Jung Kyung Ho has shone with an intense and utterly believable acting.. he has made a complete change from the past projects.. after light characters which were closer to his personality, I would have not expected this dense and intense acting with excellent action scenes!! Thanks to him, Jung Shi Hyun's character has been totally captivating!
I loved the OST, especially "Hurt" by Kim Yong Jin

At the beginning I wondered if they would be able to portrait the character of Jang Ok Jeong, probably the most well known villain of Joseon, as a good person.. but on the contrary they have not changed her character.. they have shown what was behind her behavior, behind her ambition and coldness: first of all the desire to rebel from the injustices suffered because of her humble origins, but also her deep love for the king and for her son Yoon ..
This is a truly tragic and romantic love story in which they both were willing to lose everything for each other..
I especially loved the character of the king .. wise and fair, with the courage to reform the government several times, able to counter the political opposition particularly alive at that time, but also willing to give up the throne for his love..
A fantastic romance with great characters analyzed in every facet and an excellent cast.. I've always loved Kim Tae Hee and Yoo Ah In both, but in this project they have outdone themselves, the chemistry between the two has always been perfect, the acting was impeccable.. and let's face it.. they are both really beautiful.. and.. I'd stay hours listening to Yoo Ah In's voice * ^ *
The OST was astonishing, in particular "Sorrow Song" by Yim Jae Bu.. it was of great impact..
Highly recommended!

I had seen Jung Woo Sung's acting before but in this drama he has outdone himself.. the character of Kang Chil seems to have been designed especially for him.. his acting is completely natural and spontaneous although his character is not a usual one..
Kang Chil is a 35 years-old man but he spent the last 16 in prison.. so despite being an adult man there are many things that he did not experience, even the most simple ones such as going to the movies or taking the train.. so for him it's all new and he tackles everything with the innocence of a little boy.. it is a very interesting character that gets to you immediately ^ ^
It's a very special drama that talks about different themes among the classic ones such as love and friendship but also death, revenge, and the condition of ex-prisoners continually belittled by others.. plus I also loved the "fantasy" part of the story that makes the drama very unique * ^ *
I liked to see the growth of the various relationships that Kang Chil has built or rebuilt during the drama.. the one with Jina, but also with his mother and his "new son".. not to mention the great friendship he has with the guardian angel Gooksoo ^ ^ (a character that I really loved^^)
In the last few episodes I cried all the time.. even the smallest things made me shed a river of tears.. it was really moving
This is a really heart-warming and romantic drama and it's not to be missed! The cast is exellent and so are the fantastic characters.. the only thing I could complain about is the fact that they focused on the love story even when there were so many points to be developed, in particular the relationship with the son Jung that has been put too much into the background.. but I must say that I really loved this drama and I highly recommend it..
The OST was beautifully moving.. I loved "To Live" by Noel

The aspect that impressed me the most was the change of the protagonists.. both had lost interest in life (in a different way and for different reasons), but after they met, Rio goes back to being a girl her age who has to confront with her first love and Kouki, who had lost hope, find himself wanting more time..
Although some aspects have been simplified, I think this is a wonderful movie, it makes you realize that for no reason you should give up living, that fate brings you to unexpected twists and that there is always hope..
The acting was very good and the plot, although it has classical elements, it's very special in its own way.. with a hint of manga :3
The OST is touching but not outstanding..
