Cons: The plot, although it added its own unique twists here and there, was very similar to many other drama plots. There were also a lot of drama cliches, but hey, that's why we love our asian dramas, right? Also, some parts were cringingly unbelievable (yelling at your new boss and being completely disrespectful and STILL keeping your job, whaaaaattt?!?!?!) There were two or three songs used, and although they were pretty songs, at around episode 15 I was sick of hearing them.
Pros: I really was able to like ALL of the characters in this drama (minus the evil ones of course). Usually when I watch dramas I think the guy is too mean, or the girl is not a strong character. But you end up really loving and respecting all the characters! The acting is really quite good, especially from Yan Aaron... I don't mean to be a fangirl, but he's also really hot, which is a plus! ;) There was really good chemistry between the main couple and much more skinship than other dramas. The kisses were REALLY good too! Also, the ending wrapped up all the loose ends and it was cute and I really liked this drama so you should watch it!
The end! ^-^

Story: 7/10
I gave it only 7 out of ten because although I REALLY liked the story, I felt that as the plot went on, I disliked Cheng You Qing more and more. She's thirty years old and sometimes she acted like an inexperienced teenager when it came to her relationships... I also found her to be kind of whiny and needy... And I felt terrible for Li Da Ren, because literally he would follow her around like a lost puppy. But on the positive side, the ending did redeem Cheng You Qing's character. Also, the dialogue was fantastic, and not awkward at all like I find in some other dramas. Additionally, I felt that the drama as a whole took a realistic approach to love that we often don't find among the fluffy, feel-good dramas out there (although there were a few fuzzy moments too! :D).
Cast: 10/10
Each character was really portrayed perfectly by the actors. After watching ISWAK and ISWAK 2, I can honestly say that Ariel Lin's acting has improved a lot! Also, I had never seen Sunny Wang before, and well, I sort of fell in love. lol I was shocked to see his tattoos O__O but they fit perfectly with his bad-boy character in the drama. He acted so well that he became a character who I knew was bad, but couldn't help falling in love him with just like Cheng You Qing...
Music: 9/10
I thought the music was good. It went along very well with the drama and was pretty memorable.
REwatch: 4/10
This is just a personal opinion, but I couldn't stomach rewatching Li Da REn's heartbreak for another 13 episodes... :'( So sad..
Overall: 7/10
It was a good drama, it had high points and low points. I don't regret watching it, but its not one of those dramas that stick with you for days after you finish watching it!
Hope this review helps! :)

Wow, so many plot twists... There is such an emotional and psychological depth to this drama... The writing is fantastic and I didn't find myself skipping scenes like I usually do... MARS is definitely a mature drama that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster.. Although it is heavy, there are many cute, funny scenes to lighten to mood, too. The ending is complete and there are no loose ends!
Acting/Cast 10/10
All of the actors were amazing, but Barbie and Vic especially stood out to me. First, their relationship is so believable. They have such great chemistry together. Coming from someone who normally watches Kdrama, it was so refreshing to see the main couple so comfortable together (even showing affection for one another in a non-awkward way, lol). Vic is especially amazed me... I don't want to give away any plot points, so I won't say more! :)
Music 10/10
WOW! I usually never pay attention to music of a drama... but this drama's music is absolutely breathtaking. Especially Ling (Zero)... I liked it so much I'm learning to play it on my guitar and piano... Look up the english translations to the songs, because they have such meaning and add depth to the story!
Rewatch Value 6/10
Ok, I never really rewatch dramas... So this is just a personal opinion... I know a LOT of people have rewatched this drama, so maybe you'll want to watch it again... Because it IS one of THE best dramas I've watched.
Overall 10/10
Please watch this drama; I promise you won't regret it!
