I'm writing this right as I finished watching the show with tears running down my face because they just won't seem to stop.

Great story, cast, acting, filled with action, corrupt society. Really kind of like what is happening today.
Story very interesting two babies (Song Seung Hun and Yun Jung Hoon) switched at birth by a vengeful nurse.

I got s attached to this drama, I had to remind tell myself repeatedly that it would soon, then I could go back to my life and resist punching my screen was not an option, lol.

towards the end I started having feelings of resentment towards Lee Dong Wook, as I could not believe that he was so stupid and I actually thought him selfish and ungrateful (as I said I got too attached).

Would I re-watch? No, even though it's a great drama, I was upset with the writers, for making the ending like that. You can't just take a good person out of a drama like that, especially one that everyone depends on.

Okay so I watched because of Kwon Sang Woo, if you've seen 'Bad Love' then you'll know the reason. Now the drama:

Kwon Sang Woo- I know his dramas are really great and his emotional scenes are heartfelt. whenever he cried I cried and when he was happy I smiled. the love he has for Choi Ji Hoo (Jung Suh) believing in their love from children, although he was not sure if she would believe him when he said he loved her, cause they were kids and he was questioning the meaning of love, his love for her is astounding. Even when she was 'supposed to be dead' he would not give up and he kept her in his heart.

This drama is about a never-ending love of 2 people who believed that as long as you love each other it does not matter the time you are separated from each other, your heart would always find a way back to each other.

Some scenes I did not agree with, what's with having a relationship with the person your family member was dating? That's so wrong on all accounts. It should matter, it they were intimate, you do not date your relatives past or present lovers. that said -

Shin Hyun Joon (Tae Hwa) the step-brother, after seeing his love for Jung Suh I tried to understand his feelings and after a while I was at a point that I could sympathize with him. Jung Suh, was the first person to show him love, to give him a birthday present, to actually reach out to him as a person, so I could understand the reason he was so attached to her, although it was a bit too much at a point.

This drama is for all mother's to watch so you know the way not to bring up your children. Lee Hwi Hyang (Tae Mira) the evvil step-mother (yes, it needs 2 v's)and kim Tae hae (Yu Ri)
I wanted to hurt these two. really hurt them. I cried until there were no sounds coming out of mouth at the level of evil these two did. And I know it's just a drama which ends at episode 20, but my heart refused to accept that at one point. I had to really take a break and listen to some music before I could continue again.

The drama was worth all the time, tears, smiles, cursing, everything as it has a very good ending. the OST is good also.
So if you like romance, suspense, and everything else then you'll have fun watching this, just be prepared to cray a lot in between, but there are some very good moments, very good, and that makes the rest of the tears worthwhile. This drama is worth 100% in total value.
Enjoy!

I think this deserves a lot more than the score here. It tells the truth about people and their ignorance to the HIV. This is a very moving drama with a wonderful end. I cried, laughed and yes, cursed throughout some scenes but it was worth it.

The feeling of a child being labeled at school and in the community by adults got me really upset. I wished I could drag them out of the script. But then, I reminded myself it was a drama and would end soon. I'm glad I watched to the end throughout the tears and cursing.
Wonderful story, great acting by the cast, especially the little girl (sorry I don't remember her name).
Very moving scenes, throughout, plus she's a good crier,really believable.
A must watch with a happy end.

Okay Micky Yoochun, Lee Min Ho-I, Choi Woo Sik, and Jeong Seok-won, can I tell you these guys with their hair, really, really cute without the hair, what more can I say?
One of the best really rated above 10.
The story about the Chosen dynasty, evil sister, evil wanna be heir.
Love is in the mix which makes it all worthwhile.
the story line is filled with history, romance, comedy, action, (really), tears, you'll be crying and laughing at the antics of these 4 at the same time.
Not boring at all, a must watch, you'll be hooked from the first episode and the OST is amazing.
And oh yeah, kiss scene!!

First,let me say that it's been a while that I have really enjoyed a drama such as this. It was hilarious. The acting is great, and I love seeing Lee Dong Wook in this light. After Scent of a Woman, which was really good this was unexpected. The story line, acting, OST, is wonderful. The acting between LDW and Lee Si young is really great also. They seemed to be such good friends, who were really comfortable with each other. Of course the acting between Hwang Sun Hee (Oh Soo young) and Kang Dong Ho (Kim Tae Ho)was priceless. These two, especially Director Kim was too good to be true. I agree with Soo Young, I really would have loved to see him in a suit of armour, lol.
Add these 4 actors with a story of suspense of who-dun-it, this is a drama not to be missed. It's worth the time.

I liked Song Il Gook and even Han Go Eun, together it was great acting.

Story- the movie started with a bang, it was revenge from the start and it was exciting. Great fight scenes. I was disappointed that the lead had few love scenes together, and the story line seemed to have a lot more scenes with the song Il Gook.

Even though they were together in the end I still think it could have been better and that the ending was rushed as too much time was spent on other matters that we trivial at the time.

Song Il Gook’s character was a man of few words and he definitely played his part very well.He was really perfect as Michael King/Peter Pan/ Choi Kang Ta.

Overall it was a good drama worth watching.

This is the best drama I have seen. and it will remain so. The story is about three siblings who grew up in the 1970's. Lee Kang Mo (Lee Bum Soo), his older brother Sung Mo (Park Sang Min)and younger sister Mi Joo were separated at a young age when their father was killed in a smuggling scheme and their mother also died subsequently. When they are able to reunite years later, they had all reached adulthood and are determined to exact revenge upon the people responsible for their misery. Built around a corrupt government and focuses on one mans destructive path to obtain power. This drama is well scripted, acted, directed, everything.
Great acting by Lee Bum So as Lee Kang Mo, his acting was really great and it made you connect with him throughout the entire drama. Park Sang Min as Sung Mo really did a good also with his acting . Also, Jo Pil Yeon (Jung Bo Suk) will always be the number 1 villain of all time. Great realistic ending, you could not want a better drama to watch as it is filled with action, suspense, romance, comedy, especially Sang Mo trying to dance, lol, really, really wonderful.

Awesome drama, I love the whole going back to the past and future story, great acting, great cast (Song Seung Hun as Dr. Jin), Kim Jae Joong as Kim Kyung Tak) and Park Min Young (City Hunter)who played double roles.

I really learned a lot about the Joseon Era and I was looking up on the internet parts that were unclear to me.
Song Seung Hun, is a really great actor and his emotions are so real. Really love him in this drama.

Jae Joong was the bad guy you loved to hate, he really nailed this role, I was cursing him so much, then loved him when you realized everything he did was because he wanted to be loved by his father.

The psychic ginseng got on my nerves as her motive was to get Dr. Jin, of course it did not work. The surgery scenes were too graphic and I had to look away from the screen on occasions.
But it was great, and filled with sword welding, fight scenes, humour etc
