Just one word: disappointing. I have to say that at the beginning of the drama, I got really excited because it was so different than other dramas. But I would have liked it better if it was one of those cliched dramas. I think my hopes were set too high for this probably because Cheondoong was in it (A+ here). Well, that serves me right for watching a drama only for one actor. But I know I'll do it again in a heartbeat.
The story was different than what I usually watched, so it grabbed my attention right away. The whole girl disguises herself as a guy has been done quite a few times, but I don't recall any where there are a bunch of flower boys painting nails for a living. However, the whole gumiho concept just didn't do it for me. It was introduced and carried along through the first like 3 episodes. After that, it just became irrelevant. And then out of no where, it shows up again in the very last episode. Not acceptable. Sorry, but NO. Also, I found myself drawing further and further away from the main couple. I found the love story between Jin and Ji Soo much more interesting and cute. I was more worried about them than I was for Bunny, Kay, and Alex. They are now officially my favorite side couple! (\(^-^)/) They are the only reason my rating is a 6. without them, it would've been a 4.
As for the acting, it wasn't horrible, but... it wasn't all that great either. I feel like there were only a few of the actors that portrayed their roles well. That would have to be (in my opinion. no hating) Kay, Jin, and Ji Soo. They may have not been excellent, but it was much better than the others. The others' acting was good at times, and was just a ship wreck the rest of the time. But they tried; I'll give them credit for that.
The music was nice. There was a song or two that I didn't really like and some that I thought were over played, but overall, the music was good.
I highly doubt I would re-watch this. Maybe if I was pointed a gun at my head or if I literally have nothing else to watch besides this (pretty much impossible).
All in all, it wasn't anything special like I expected it to be. If you want to watch a cross-dressing, fantasy, confusing, rushed ending, short drama, then maybe you'll like this. If not, then turn away and look for another drama. Hope I didn't spoil anything. If I did, I'm really sorry. Bye!

Ok. I know that I gave a 10 in every category, but that is because it truly deserves it. Let's start with the story. The story is something that has never been done (at least according to what I have watched), and it isn't super obvious. Yes, every drama has it's obvious moments, but the really important ones in this one aren't at all. Also, the writers did a really good job at keeping the audience at the edge of their seats. I found myself enjoying each and every moment of the drama and was dying to watch the next episode. The cliffhangers killed me but now you can all watch it to your heart's content (aren't you lucky). This drama has a balance in the funny, light-hearted stuff and the heart-wrenching, throw yourself out of the window moments. I won't lie, I cried my heart out watching this at times, but it's not a depressing drama. It has a lot of funny moments and tend to include some of these moments in between sad scenes (maybe to make us less depressed? I don't know). But I think the romance of this really stood out to me as it wasn't the typical cliched couple. And the plot didn't overwhelm you with the idea of aliens; it's subtle and enjoyable. ^-^

Now to talk about the acting. The cast was awesome and they all have a history of wonderful acting skills. The couple had great chemistry and have starred in a movie together before which may have helped with this. I haven't watched the movie yet so I can't really compare or anything. But you don't just fall in love with the main cast, you fall in love with everyone (or hate them to the end's of the earth).

As for the music, I thought it was really put together well. They didn't overuse any of their songs and I find myself humming them throughout the day. I don't think anyone would be disappointed in them.

Lastly, I would definitely watch this again. Maybe I might give it some time before I marathon it because there's too many feels at this point to re-watch it. Although the mystery part of it will already be known, I would still be happy to sit through it all over again.

I highly recommend this drama. Don't let the alien concept dishearten you as it's not forced down your throat. Just sit back and enjoy the show. ~^-^~

STORY:
The story of this drama is quite interesting and unique with its cross between medical and supernatural. This is more so medical and action rather than romance, so if you're searching for a romance packed drama, this isn't for you. There are very few dramas that deal with vampires and the idea that they are truly humans just infected with a virus is really intriguing. There are a few plot twists which were surprisingly unpredictable and caught me off guard which makes it more enjoyable. Overall, the story is different with, of course, some cliches that are present in about every drama, but still worth watching.
ACTING/CAST:
Ok, let me make this clear, I know what everyone is thinking: "I don't want to watch this because of Goo Hye Sun." I felt the same way when I first started watching, but she's not that bad here. Her character is very strong-willed and it kind of grows on you. I'm not saying that I loved her acting, but it wasn't horrible to the point where I couldn't stand watching her. If that's your reason for not watching this, OPEN YOUR MIND! Additionally, Ahn Jae Hyun is very new to acting and I think he did a pretty good job for a rookie. There were moments where his acting was just a bit too... well not good enough and sometimes I found myself laughing at how awkward it was. But the majority of the time, he did a well enough job.
MUSIC:
You know those OST's where it's so catchy that you find yourself humming it throughout the day for weeks even after the drama has ended? Well... this is not one of those. I enjoyed the music while watching the drama, but none of them really stuck. That's the only reason for its low rating, but from what I remember, none of them were annoying so I thought they did a decent job here.
REWATCH VALUE:
Yeah, this isn't the type of drama you'd like to rewatch. Maybe you might enjoy rewatching the rare romance scenes or some of the action scenes, but it's not really worth rewatching unless you want to take a trip down memory lane (the downtown region).
OVERALL:
Overall, this was a decent drama but due to certain plot twists and loose strings at the end, it's value significantly decreased. I want to say that i thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this drama, but I just can't. Some things happened which I think were just uncalled for and unnecessary (why screenwriters?) which I just won't be able to forgive and forget. There are good times, but to me, the bad times overpowered them.

To start off, I wasn't expecting too much when I first began watching. The way the plot was written didn't really grab my attention as others did, however, once I got into it, I started to fall in love. Not only did I fall in love with the story, but also with each individual actor/actress, including the "villains". The drama gave a warm heartfelt aura. It had a cute and funny side to it, but also a more dark and serious side. It was well balanced and didn't go too deep into all the drama. As for for the acting, I saw no faults. All the actors and actresses really got into their characters and portrayed their feelings as if they were their own. And I have to add that there was some real eye candy in the show.

The music was good but in my opinion, some of the tracks weren't that great. Maybe it's just because this is an old show so that style of music isn't so popular anymore. But anyways, I would definitely re-watch this again, but only if I've got nothing else to watch or if I fell out of the drama mood. I bet you all know what I'm talking about. That time where you've stopped watching dramas and have moved on, and even though you want to watch one, you find yourself skipping through a lot. This drama wasn't too fast or too slow so it kept you watching it from beginning to end. I hope that all those who have not watched this should watch it. This drama is really underrated so don't pay attention to the overall score. Watch it! I promise you won't regret it. Even if you end up not liking it all that much, it's a drama that will leave a good impression on you and teach you the life of a married couple after the wife has been diagnosed with amnesia and now thinks she is an 18 year old girl. (^-^)

This is the continuation of "Little Mom Scandal". I started watching this right after finishing the first version and I thought the first season was better. In this season, you see what happens to all of the characters after all that drama in the first one. I was a little disappointed at the fact that the whole "Little Mom" concept wasn't really there. They DID show how Sun Hee and Kyung Ah's mom lives were but very vaguely. If you are looking to watch this for the mother-child relationship of them, then don't watch it because you get a very slim amount of that.

On the other hand, there was a great development of the characters in this and it really changed my thinking of Korean dramas. As you all probably know, most Korean dramas are either really bubbly, cut romance or heart-throbbing sad yet inspiring shows with a whole bunch of drama to top it off. This one taught about the life of women who wanted to live their life to the fullest but did not know exactly how to do that. There is of course drama and that one character you really just want to throw out a 50 story building, but they do it to an extent where you aren't overwhelmed by it.

If you want something that's not too over the top but still has a strong story and meaning behind it, then this is the drama for you (watch the first season first though). But if you want a drama that may only be real in a dream, then don't even start watching it. Also, I just want to warn you that this is one of those dramas that leave you hanging in the end, but thankfully not to the point where you start pulling out your hair. This is a great drama so i hope you get to watch it! ^_^
