I WILL PUT THE SPOILERS LIKE this


Actors (The Important Ones)

Lee Min Ho - AMAZING!!!! As usual <3 And he is getting hotter and HOTTER after each drama he does! Although I've only see akk his dorams after (and including) Boys Before Flowers... xD Amazing acting, amazing body, amazing looks, amazing.. everything!

Park Min Young - FIrst time seeing her act. I think she did really great and I love how she managed to cry so much! She had a lot of crying scenes so great acting on her part!

Lee Joon Hyuk - Ve~ry sexy in my opinion haha Another who did great acting me thinks. I only have one flaw but that's for his character to know about ><

Goo Ha Ra - Meh, she did a good job in playing a spoilt unruly child. But she has an annoying look about her and found out she's in Kara so I don't like her so much =S lets hope her personality wins her over if I ever see her in an interview.
The Characters

Lee Yoon Sung - well... I loved him xD Loved his stubbornness, loved his serious talks, loved how he went against his father and also, LOVED his jackets <3 He had a new one like every episode and it fitted him so perfectly <3 But damn I HATED those shoes that he wore! Those ones that like cut off BELOW the ankle -__- they annoyed me xD I blame the stylist! xD

Kim Na Na - First female lead in a KDrama that I've actually liked! She didn't annoy me or make me want to stop watching (a reason why it took me so long to watch most of my KDramas) and she is very pretty and I loved her style outside of work too =]

Kim Young Joo - Man,,, at first I was like "will I hate this guy?" but OMG L.O.V.E him! He could marry me ANY day! xD And he had a strange relationship.. but I'll get onto that later - I have a whole relationship theory for this xD

Lee Jin Pyo - You k'now what... I really liked him! I understood why he felt the way he did and why he was going about his revenge the way he did =] I totally backed him up, sometimes even took his side of Yoon Sung's! o_O

Bae Shik Joong - Incredibly cute and funny character! Loved how when he was afraid he REALLY showed it! xD Wish he'd come here and cook for me atleast once! His food always looked so good!

Go Ki Joon - He amused me a lot. So funny when he was fighting with Kim Na Na's bodyguard friend and he actually liked her xDD

Choi Eung Chan - I felt sorry for this guy as I felt he was a genuin person and genuinly cared for the deaths all those years ago. I think he was the only that  shouldn't have been dealt with << without trying to give too much away xD and I'm actually happy that he turned out to be Yoon Sung's father!

Jin Se Hee - Not a lot to say except I'm grateful she helped Yoon Sung a few times. Was annoyed towards the end when she got the prosecture.

Choi Da Hye - Good character although annoyed me at first but towards the end she grew up and made sense ^_^
Relationships

This is where it gets complicated because I had theories on who liked who but then it became obvious of who liked who. So here we go:

Lee Yoon Sung liked Kim Na Na.
Kim Na Na liked Lee Yoon Sung.
Kim Na Na liked Kim Young Joo.
Kim Young Joo liked Kim Na Na.
Kim Young Joo liked Jin Se He.
Jin Se Hee liked Kim Young Joo.
Jin Se Hee liked Lee Yoon Sung.
Lee Jin Pyo liked Park Moo Yul.
Lee Jin Pyo liked Lee Kyung Hee.
Lee Kyung Hee liked Lee Jin Pyo.
Bae Shik Joong liked Kim Na Na.
Bar Shik Joong liked Shin Eun Ah.
Shin Eun Ah liked Lee Yoon Sung.
Shin Eun Ah liked Go Ki Joon.
Go Ki Joon liked Shin Eun Ah.
Choi Eun Chan liked Lee Kyung Hee.
Lee Kyung Hee liked Choi Eun Chan.
Lee Kyung Hee liked Park Moo Yul.
Park Moo Yul liked Lee Kyung Hee.
Choi Da Hye liked Lee Yoon Sung.
Choi Da Hye liked Kim Young Joo.

It's ALL confusing! But you get where I got these (theories and actually relationships)?

The Positive

Great music/soundtrack.
Great Story.
Great Action.
Very enjoyable!
Lee Min Ho is sexy!
So is Lee Joon Hyuk ^_^
The ending was satisfactury ^_^

The Emotional

Didn't think I'd get emotional as I wasn't that attacthed to the characters but I cried at *SPOILERS!!*:

- Kim Young Joo dying - Kim Young Joo's funeral.
- Lee Jin Pyo and Lee Yoon Sung getting shot at the end.

The Negative

HATED the theme song at the end -__-
Hated the cheesy songs during the episodes << why do all KDramas do this?! o_O
The episodes were a tad long ranging from 1hr3 to 1hr5 - 45minutes would be better! But all Korean doramas that I've seen have been like an  hour long, another reason why it took me ages to watch them most of the time -__-
I got confused at one point because Lee Yoon Sung is suppose to be 28 but at one point they said 24?! o_O WTF! xD No that's the real actors age <3
I wish the relationships had been a bit clearer between the older gen/cast xD

Rating

Actors: 4.5/5 (I don't know any of them very well besides Lee Min Ho)
Characters: 4.5/5
Music: 4.5/5
Songs: 1/5
Action: 4.5/5 (could've been a bit more in my opinion xD)
Overall: 4/5
