It's basically a great thrilling movie, when the movie will end you won't know, I mean it will keep you on the edge of your seat and hyped up every minute. How they saved themselves was really good directed. But I'd like to watch a overall movie you know, I know that this kind of movie need more sequels to reveal the truth, but still tho they should have showed the relationship between Yong Nam and his girlfriend how she died or more between Yong Nam and and Eui Joo their past , more about the scientist who put the gas, his feud with the company and so on.... I know in 2hrs it's not possible to show everything but they should have showed briefly.-- Overall if you want some thriller without any lingering feelings attached and to keep hyped up your weekend then it's perfect to watch and btw the cast only will make you watch it, who need more when you have yoona ! ????

I loved it
I was ready to watch even before it's release only because of Seo Hyun Jin but when I started the ep 1, (I don't check trailer or plotline, I just choose drama and watch it)I found the drama will be very much political, full of different people name, full of incidents, full of relations. I hate those type of dramas. But still everything hooked me on and I continued thinking that I can just skip the unwanted scenes. But because the story revolves around few people and few cases, so it was easier to remember everything and relate. People are hating on it because it doesn't have much law. Dude it is because it is not a law drama, it's kinda biographical drama based on Oh Soo Jae's life, suffering and her decisions.
The story was fine, OSTs were good and actors did best. Production was good too.
DON'T READ BELOW IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED WATCHING -SPOILERS ALERT !!
Even though it got partially happy ending (loosing her child will always make her suffer) but still somehow it felt sad. It must be because of Heo Joon ho as his acting was so good, even though he really did evil things but his suicide felt bittersweet. He was definitely ashamed and embarrassed that's why he killed himself or else he would had gone to prison and planned again to ruin everyone's life.
All actors did amazing role ofc our oh soo jae did the best. The characters were poorly written. The story revolved around two cases and made sixteen damn episodes. But the revealation in the last two episodes seemed fair. Even though people were angry about how bad guys won in all of the 14 episodes and only last two eps were about revenge, if she didn't reveal all of it in front of general public in a huge stage, she would had got sabotaged by others.
People are hating the romance in it. I would call relationship than romance. She really needed a person to live her unconditionally and support her after coming across with those disgusting people.
Even though the drama could have been so better if the screenwriters did better job. Still, still it will be my favourite drama of the year.
AND I REALLY LIKED THE RUNAWAY SHOW AT THE ENDING CREDITS LOL!!!

This film have a similar background like A Taxi Driver as in both movies,the leads play the important role to rescue others.
This doesn't have good plot. Actions were kinda over , so overall it's not good directed.
-- Overall this movie won't satisfy your expectations from the title and the poster. So it's not that worthy to watch. ????

What a drama it was
I started this drama because of Lee Jun Ho like a lot of people but Se Young, Oh my God, Se Young was amazing throughout the whole show. Each of the cast were best for their role like each one of them. Junho did amazing as the king and Seyoung portrayed each emotions of junho like mirror and she shined more than him during the last few eps.The cinematography was quite good and the accuracy too. Am not a Korean or Korean history knower but after watching a lot of saeguks, I can say that they didn't modernized the drama. In first, things go little slow and last three-two eps seems rushed but still this is not a problem overall.
OST was good and fitted every scene, no modern English mixed ost was there so it's a plus point.
I didn't read the novel nor knew that it is a real story. Some fictional things definitely must have added but if the real Deok Im was just like she is portrayed here then a big salute to her.
The character is so realistic and relatable. It shows the hardships of a woman. It is applicable to today's women too. How she was hesitant about giving her everything to a man who can never be hers fully and her fighting against the part of her which couldn't resist the temptation was really inspiring. But as everyone knows the last winner is a Man no matter which age you live in. I cried my eyes out when she waves her past self. Some of her dialogues will echo in me forever. Call me a saddist but I like sad endings bcs in that way the drama remains in me forever and aches my heart forever. It has an open ending, MBC tried its best to ease everyone.
So if you like to feel different emotions, then it's a big YES from me ❤

This was in my watchlist for a long time. Now I feel like how big sin I’ve done by not watching it. It’s been months since I got that excitement to finish a drama as soon as possible. This is a drama you should watch in your amateur days of kdrama marathon; I mean when you first get into kdramas, you should watch it to know the plot quality of kdramas.
I don’t want to give any type of spoiler cause then it will be a crime to spoil someone’s excitement.
Maybe in the first few minutes, you will feel that it’s not something special. In the first few episodes you won’t get what’s going on, but believe me as you’ll keep watching, you’ll get experience you haven’t ever experienced watching any series. And at the end you’ll get everything.
Plot is good, the casting is good, mystery is at it’s peak.
Now stop reading reviews, just go and enjoy the series. Happy Watching (:

Neither sweet nor sour but bitter
It took me time to digest the plot twist at the end after watching it because only the plot twist will make you think about the movie or else everything is tasteless here.Can't blame them too cause the trailer was clearly potraying how the movie will be so it's just another romcom k-movie with way too simple plot. The jacket scene was funny and I couldn't understand what's the role of that mysterious man here maybe it was his conscience. You keep doubting on soobin's innocence. Jang ki yong's expressions are improved; and that breakup scene was so good I felt cheated by my nonexistent bf in that scene lol
So if you have some time to spend and you don't want to watch something heavy so you can watch it.

The cast is perfect as well as the music suits the best.
Generally movies remain in our heart which have happy ending or bad ending , but in this case even though it didn't had happy ending but the ending is everything . The plot will seem simple until you reach the ending. It is really well scripted and we'll directed.
-- Overall this movie is very soft and heartwarming which is worthy to watch. ????

It's basically a shorter version of Moon Lovers : Scarlet Heart, except the ending. Because in this short drama, the leads met each other in today's world which is really satisfactory but in Scarlet Heart as they didn't show the happy ending, the pain will remain forever.The cast is really good and as well their acting.
Comedy, romance,drama, emotional every thing is there.
-- Overall it's really good directed mini drama that contains everything within the two episodes. So it's good to watch. ????

When you look for drama, romance, thriller, emotion, supernatural , it's the perfect drama circling everything above with a little spiceness of horror. It's IU's drama means it will be one of the best drama . Her acting makes this drama more beautiful. The way she carried all the looks , the way she represented the character Jang Man Weol, it seems like no one can better play that role than her. Yeo Jin Goo also played Ku Chan Seong role very good. The other casts are very good. The OSTs are very touching as there are fourteen OSTs, the story will keep it amusing till the end.Usually I get bored during episode 12-14 as at that period it become boring except the mystery genre, but in this case , I just watch it as fast the drama gets subtitles on the websites.
-- Overall this drama is worth to watch and you will feel that your time has been used in a good way, now stop reading reviews and watch it ! ????

This drama has similar story like what's wrong with Secretary Kim , both the lead actors are related and known each other from their childhood and they get to know it in last two episodes but this fact doesn't play very important role here. I love park min young but here she acted more cute than she is and the female lead seemed to be more in love....it's very much relatable with fangirls like us and especially when you have ONE as idol, but in the end it's worth to watch.Sorry but don't read the below

Believe it's really good. From the beginning of the first episode till the last second of the last episode is truly amazing.
Even though it's really overrated and in Korea the rating wasn't good but the people who have watched would tell you that ' it's worthy '.
The story is fully refreshing and new, it's not the same supernatural drama story but truly great , it is full of mystery , and unexpected.
The cast was really good , every cast is perfect in their roles. The OSTs are perfect and heart touching.
-- Overall it's one of the best drama of the year and from beginning to the end, you won't get bored and the hour will be feel like minutes !????
