I love the actors., their characters were not incredible original, but well done, the acting was good, and the story wasn't something I'd personally really watched before (I guess the closest would be Shut Up! Flower Boy Band?). I liked all these things and watched this obsessively for a bit this summer. However, I dropped it.
The reason for this was simply that I couldn't stand the villains. Usually the villainous characters are annoying or unpleasant, but I'm fine. These villains were just so endlessly conniving and I got so incredibly angry at the constant obstacles they posed to the main characters that I honestly couldn't stand another second and stopped watching in the middle of an episode.
Don't make this stop you from watching the drama; it's a really pleasant drama overall with a very nice cast and set of characters. Most people could probably deal with this better than I can. I just sympathize way too strongly with fictional characters and their problems make me physically uncomfortable. I'd still like to pick this back up some day, but considering I'm still so fired up such a long while later, I'll probably wait a bit longer.

I thought this movie was great. The story was... a bit shaky, I guess, and the very ending confused me a bit, but the acting was pretty great. Jaejoong did a wonderful amount of eyebrow emoting, and Song Ji-Hyo portrayed bumbling-first-time-killer very well.
Parts of it were very intense and others had me in tears from laughing so hard. Very enjoyable, would definitely watch again!

A friend of mine is completely obsessed with Kim Boem, so we wanted to watch a movie he was in and this was one of the two we could find online. I thought it sounded cool, she was a bit leery about it but like the sound of the other option even less, so we watched this.
She enjoyed it less than I did, and had to get up and leave briefly to walk off the intensity at several points (I wouldn't read too far into this- she does it a lot and over the smallest things). She found the plot disturbing and upsetting, as did I, and we both found Kim Boem's character to be, while well done, depressing.
Watching this at 2 in the morning was, perhaps, a mistake, as it left us to muffle our reactions so as not to wake anyone up. I got super worked up over it, and came back to my room to rant animatedly at my roommate about how upset the movie had made me. I'm not even concretely sure what about the movie worked me up like this, but I felt very strongly about it nonetheless.
I feel like this sounds very negative, which is not the case. I really liked this movie, but it was depressing and a bit upsetting. I would probably watch it again, but maybe not for a while.
