Story: Not bad, the main plot where a criminal son loves the victim's daughter seemed a bit unique, that's what got me to pick up the drama.
However, I was super disappointed how a guy with a hammer can wreck havoc everywhere like he's holding a rocket launcher instead of just a hammer. Also, there were so many instances where a police officer could have used a gun but "nah let's run after them". It's one of those dramas that make police officers seem useless and untrained.
Cast: I love them <3 both main casts and their young characters were amazing.
Music: Not bad, not amazing, I don't think I'll listen to any ost out of the drama but it felt correctly placed for the scenes so it's fine.
Rewatch: I don't think this is rewatchable, I think most criminal dramas are hard to rewatch because you already know who did what, but who knows if you COMPLETELY forget about the story then maybe.
Overall: Not bad, I was hoping it would make me cry more but it barely did, maybe I'm growing antibodies from watching too many melodrama. Also each scene was slow as heck, stare for hours, hug for hours, cry for hours, they didn't have to make this into 32 episodes in my opinion.

The main lead was a female in her 20s that grew up with no parents to teach her how to live and enough hardships for her to mature before some 40+ years neighbors, and just as she gave up on life she meets someone who even SHE felt that was more pitiful than her.
Behold how the story of the 2 most pitiful people play out.
Story: Main plot was unique, drama touches sensitive topics like cheating and depression and shows that people mature at different ages depending on their circumstances, I was very touched by the story and felt like I could understand all the characters actions from their point of view, for example there was no bad guy just for the sake of having a bad guy, his actions made actually sense.
Cast: I'm slowly becoming U.I fan at this point, good lord I felt so touched by her acting if they showed one of those "based on real story" messages at the end of the drama I would have believed it. Never heard about the other main actors before but I believe they were also great.
Music: Amazing! I love it when the music lyrics can relate to the drama story, that way when I listen to it whenever I can feel flashbacks of the scenes the music played in during the drama, that was also the case for "Because this is my first life".
Rewatch: I'll definitely rewatch this in couple of months when I miss it.
Overall: Purity at it's finest, definitely check this gem out for a change from the usual kdrama plots.

I'm sad I couldn't give this drama 10/10 the acting was so fluffy Min Ik spoiled personality was on point and Gal Hee was cute as hell with her big glasses.
The side characters were okay, nothing to comment on.
Story:
This drama had some fake diseases that make no sense and sort of focused on "love overcomes all" concept, if that's not your cup of tea just don't expect much cause that's kind of the main plot.
I felt like so many episodes ended exactly where they begun and they had no story progress at all, however that might be easier to watch if you're binge watching it. (stretched?)
Also, the whole secretaries club plot was stupid and poorly written.
Music:
Amazing, will probably get stuck in my head for a while, I mean for God's sake they have Sondia singing one of the OSTs
Rewatchability:
Lastly and sadly I don't think this has much in this department, knowing how the Veronica act ends spoils 99% of the drama, sometimes I wish I had selective memory...
Anyways if you decide to pick this up you're in for an emotional rollercoaster, have fun!

Story was pretty tearjerking, what would someone do when diagnosed with terminal disease? Worry about fulfilling his life, or worry about who he is leaving behind...?
I know many people didn't like kim woo bin's character but you have to imagine how far he's pushed into a corner, his eyes tell hundreds of words just by looking into the camera. The others were each perfect in their roles too.
The soundtracks were perfectly timed to the scenes and forces the manliest man to cry like a little girl. Every time I hear Little Braver I remember so many scenes.
This is a MUST watch if you're into melodrama, get ready to cry your eyeballs out.

This drama would have felt way better as a 3 hours movie I think, the story was super stretched it felt like only one event happened per episode (1h), with all that stretching the ending was unsatisfying, bad people not punished enough.
I loved the cast and how much feelings they convey with their silent eyes, especially Uee, new fan! The daughter was super cute and smart too.
All in all I think I would have rated this drama 10/10 if the manchild brother didn't exist and they could have wrapped the story in 8 episodes.

Story: I liked the witches world they drop you in, everything was possible with a snap of fingers, however half way through the series I was only watching for the sake of watching, no excitement or hype, just wanted to reach the end, and when I did I was disappointed even further.
Cast: I have to admit the couple was cute, the old ladies actually looked like witches too.
Music: Nothing special, they fit in scenes but not gonna listen to OST outside the drama.
Rewatch: Not at all, after you learn how disappointing the ending was you won't want to touch this drama with a 10ft stick.
Overall: Not too awful, not great, you can watch this since it's only 12 episodes and you won't suffer much.

Story: absolute ****, basic rich people school and poor student template
Cast: the American accents at the start made my ears bleed but that's not the only problem, half the students don't look anywhere near 18, felt very uncomfortable with them walking in uniforms.
Sounds: personal taste, I think OST was awful.
Rewatch: I couldn't even finish it out of frustration that nothing is happening and the story made no sense, they cry over every little thing for 10 mins to fill up air time.
Maybe this was good back in 2013, not gonna finish it, I don't recommend it to anyone.
