I will admit that the first time I started to watch this that I didn't even get thru the first episode. I just looked at Eun Chan/Yoon Eun Hye and thought there is no way that she is going to pull of being a boy and quit watching it. My sister convinced me to try again and I did. Now I totally love this drama!!! The acting is so great that I totally enjoyed all the characters in this drama!!! The story is well written and directed. Yoon Eun Hye pulls off the tomboy as well as the romance of the story with ease. If it weren't for that, then I don't think this drama would be as good as it is. Even the ending is good. I will probably rewatch this in the future.

Finally...an excellent drama for 2016. The writing and directing is above par. I am not into detective dramas, but this is an entirely different level. It is one of the better time travel (although no one actually physically time traveled) dramas I have ever seen. The story flows at pace that is exciting and suspenseful. The characters are smart, courageous, and I was fully invested in the outcome of their lives. The directing is gritty and so real that everything seemed plausible. I enjoyed the journey of criminal investigation.

I watched this because of my love of Lee Je Hoon and he did not disappoint as Park Hae Yeong. I felt like he was emotionally involved in the life of Park Hae Yeong. That is the best kind of acting. Kim Hye Soo beautifully portrayed a woman who is strong and passionate as Cha Soo Hyun. Then there is Jo Jin Woong as Lee Jae Han...It s hard to know where to start when talking about this actor. I have seen him in a few other things and I thought he was good then. I fell in love with him in this drama. I was cheering for him from the beginning. Whatever emotion he presented flowed through me and I would find myself angry, crying, or smiling with him. It has been a while since I felt this way about a group of actors.

The music is excellent. It fits well with the story and the action taking place.

I will probably rewatch this at some point.

I recommend this drama to everyone no matter which genre you prefer.

The story is interesting and different from others I have seen. I thought it was good, but there is really nothing special about it. The parts where they are helping people find love are insightful and fun to watch. The convoluted ending was a turn off. Especially since he didn't learn his lesson. I thought he should have had an epiphany and proclaimed his undying love from the rooftop. I guess that is just my wishes. LOL Anyway, it didn't suck.

The acting is also good. All of them played their characters well. Soo Young is just cute as a button. There were also a lot of great cameo appearances.

The music was also good.

I might rewatch this in the future.

If you like romantic comedy, then this could be the drama for you.

I wasn't going to admit to watching this at first. Not that I'm a prude, but this movie isn't the typical Korean movie. First of all, this is NOT a family movie. Pretty much the whole first half is about sex. The story is original to me, but I’m not that experienced with Korean movies. I thought it was interesting and the ending was great.

Forget the story…
I was totally floored that Song Ji Hyo of Goong and Running Man was in this and doesn’t leave much to the imagination. CRAZY!!! I will never be able to watch Running Man again the same way.
Next there is Jo In Sung who doesn’t leave much to the imagination either and let me just say that even if it is slightly embarrassing it is well worth the look. I had just watched What Happened in Bali and I was not prepared for his role in this movie. I actually kind of felt sorry for his character, because he ended up totally confused and hurt.
Joo Jin Mo is the King in this and I thought he did a really good job. He’s not hard on the eyes either.

Anyway, this isn’t a horrible movie. It isn’t something I typically watch and to be totally honest I would not have watched it if I had known that there was going to be…um…explicit scenes. It just isn’t my thing. I’m not entirely sure if I am comfortable recommending that others watch it either. How about this…watch at your own risk. :-)

This is one of the most excruciatingly long dramas that I have ever had the misfortune to watch. With horrible family members and horrible coworkers, it is not worth the story line. I can't believe how annoying this drama is. Why did I bother watching it to the end???? I honestly don't know. I feel like I was in some kind of trance. I must have been crazy. The ending is even more annoying.

The one and only saving grace is the character growth of Yoon Jin Ah as Son Ye Jin and the chemistry she had with Jung Hae In as Seo Joon Hee. That relationship was so messed up though. I couldn't be in a relationship that I cant be honest about everything. They are so frustrating. There are some redeeming characters besides the main characters but they are few.

The music is exceptional.

I will never rewatch this.

I don't recommend this drama to anyone.

I don't normally watch romantic comedies. I'm so glad I decided to watch this. The story is well written with fully developed characters. Any problems between the characters are quickly resolved. It is full of cheesy and steamy moments. I admit that I didn't really care for all of the side characters, but they in no way detract from the drama. As a person who has lost her mother, I enjoyed watching the relationship between Ban Ji Yeon and her mother. I haven't smiled or laughed so much while watching a drama in a long time. Also, I think there are a lot of noonas/agassis that will enjoy the older woman - yonger man relationship story line.

Of course I watched this because I have fallen for Park Seo Joon. He doesn't disappoint as Yoon Dong Ha. He is charismatic, witty, and manly in this drama. I can't wait to see what he does next. I also enjoyed Uhm Jung Hwa's sophisticated yet vulnerable portrayal of Ban Ji Yeon. She is really pretty and funny. Their chemistry together is also really good. The other actors are good too.

The music is good

I may rewatch this at some point.

I recommend this drama to every one especially if you enjoy romantic comedies.

As this movie ended I found myself crying...something I rarely do. Honestly, I'm not sure why.

This movie has laughter and heartache. It moved me in a way that I'm still trying to digest. The story is simple, but well done. I did become frustrated at one point and almost quit watching it. It is due to the jerks that are in this movie. I really hate some of the characters. However, the kids and the nice village people more than make up for it.

Song Joong Ki keeps surprising me with his acting skill. After this and Innocent Man, I will no longer think of him as just a pretty face. He didn't have many lines in this movie, but I new everything he was thinking and feeling by the expressions on his face. That is the trademark of a true actor.

Park Bo Young is also a great actress. Her character as Suni was well rounded. I loved her looking through the dog training encyclopedia. She was just so cute while helping Cheol-su.

Yoo Yeon Seok plays asshole to perfection. I truly hated his character, Ji Tae.

The cinematography is fantastic and the music fits perfectly.

I recommend that everyone give this movie a chance.

I really think that this story was well done. It isn’t original, but the concept of an afterlife is achieved in a way that I have not seen previously. I like that all of the characters are consistent even as certain characters grow. It isn’t a happy drama by any means, but it isn’t overly sad either. I think it is thought provoking. I love the twists and turns this story makes as well as the love stories. The only point of the story that I don’t like is the reasoning behind In Jung’s behavior. It is a convoluted explanation that really makes no sense to me. I can’t write more because it will give things away, but you will see what I mean if you watch this drama.
I give this a 10 in acting for Lee Yo Won alone. She is amazing. I really could tell the difference between Yi Kyung and Ji Hyun. In an acting situation that could have easily confused the person watching , it was never indistinguishable which character she was playing.
Bae Su Bin/Min Ho, Jo Hyun Jae/Kang, and Jun Il Woo/Scheduler do a terrific job playing their characters. Min Ho is easy to hate and Kang is easy to love while the Scheduler is just all together adorable.
I really don’t know much about Seo Ji Hye, but she seemed one dimensional to me. I’m not sure if it is just because I hated In Jung or if it was her acting. I mean is it really acting to use the wide eyed look for every emotion??? Her character is certifiably crazy though.
The endearing little extra couple that works for Kang is just too delightful.
The music is good. Not the best, but it doesn’t suck.
I would rewatch this.
I would say this is a really good drama to watch.

This is a really good movie. The story is a little grusome at times, but it also has light hearted warm moments. The play on light and dark in the cinematography goes well with the story. There is one part where Cheol Min replaces the windows and Jeong Hwa reaches out to the light that is just beautiful. The acting is really good too. Of course, So Ji Sub is always good at playing the slightly disturbed characters. He is one of my favorite actors!!! I love Han Hyo Joo in Shining Inheritance and she didn't let me down in this movie. The music isn't anything to mention but it went well with the movie. I would probably watch this movie again.

There are many things that I loved about this drama. 1) When the guy falls for the girl he doesn't waiver. He freaks out a little because he thinks he is gay, but he still ends up loving her even when he thinks she is a him. 2) The roommates fight for her not against each other. 3) The bromance between all the guys is too cute!!! 4) The romance between Lee Sun Joon and Kim Yoon Hee/Kim Yoon Shik is beautiful!!! 5)All of the actors were good and the story was well written.

Things about it that bothered me was that Park Min Young in no way looks like a guy and it is weird that not every guy at Sungkyunkwan new she was a guy. Not that Park Min Young didn't do a good job acting, but she is just really feminine.

The ending was AWESOME!!! Which is good in my book and I put the rewatch at a 10 because I rewatched it!!! ;-)

This is one of the best corporate dramas that I have ever seen. What makes it stand out is that the intensity that comes with the corporate battles is lightened with comedy. Also, it is better because the "good guys" don't always lose and they aren't stupid. There is excellent story and character development. Everything is neatly tied together and wrapped up. I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 for a couple of reasons. I will try to explain this with out giving away anything. One of the characters was fooled when the character should have been too smart for that. He only came to realize the truth when it was almost too late. Also, I had to start this drama 3 times until I could get through the first and second episodes. Honestly, I'm not much into comedy and I thought this drama was going to be stupid. Once I was passed that part, then I was all in. The comedy is actually well done even for some one like me who isn't into it (my favorite genre is melo).

Kim Seo Hyung as Secretary Mo is no joke. She excelled in making me hate the character and I appreciate her for it. That laughter is something else. Lee Bum Soo cracked me up as the confident and witty Yoo Bang, I like the fact that he looked for a way to over come through out the drama. I'm told that I should watch Giant next. Jung Gyu Woon had me totally conflicted with his hot/cold character Hang Woo from beginning to end. Do I hate him? Do I love him? I still don't know. Why isn't Jung Ryeo Won in more dramas? I totally fell for her as Yeo Chi. I hope to see her more. Hong Soo Hyun was fun as the smart and beautiful Woo Hee. I really liked the strong female characters. All of the other actors were good also.

The music is excellent.

This is probably something I will rewatch someday.

I think that this drama can be enjoyed by anyone. I highly recommend it.

JI is an unusual drama. The story is character driven and they are written in a delightfully fun but deep way. The writer uses comedy to lighten the deep issues in this drama such as breast cancer and asexuality. The fun of the drama is seeing the original view points of each character from the main leads to the women who were once married to the same man. I enjoyed the character's relationships with each other so much and they all had great chemistry with each other.

Jo Jung Suk's is seriously willing to do anything for his character and shows that as Lee Hwa Shin. I love him so much for playing this role. Gong Hyo Jin's niche is romantic comedy and she does not fail as Pyo Na Ri. I did get a little second male lead syndrome for Go Kyung Pyo. Go Jeong Won is so sweet and cute. All of the actors are good!!!

The music is good.

I probably won't rewatch this.

If you like romantic comedy, then you will like this drama.

I don't need to write a review because there are 18 reviews already. However, I like to tell my future self why I rated a drama the way I did. So, here it goes.

Scarlet Heart is seriously addictive. I think I watched most of it in a weekend. I just couldn't stop. Historical dramas are not my favorite, because I hate politics. SH has politics, but it is a love story. A great love story. First, the costumes, settings, and overall cinematography is outstanding. It is beautiful and easily will transports the watcher to a different time. It is love from every angle in a variety of relationships. No one is perfect and the character development and dialog between the characters is meaningful. Ruoxi is a great female lead. She is strong and caring. Crazy that the thought of suppressing your emotions can kill you, but it can. I love her character. When you watch this, I am sure you will pick a favorite prince. I have my favorite also. From favorite to least favorite is 13th, 14th, 10th, 4th , 8th, and I hated the 9th prince. The 8th and 4th princes are fools. I sympathize with them and I get that they are ambitious and there is nothing wrong with that, but they gave up so much happiness for power. In the end I felt they got what they deserved. If someone had taught them how to love, then maybe it wouldn't have turned out this way. I get that the Emperor had a lot on his plate, but he created the mess. I had a problem with the cruelty of the Emperor and the 4th prince. I was emotionally invested in this drama from start to finish.

I don't know anything about the actors. I don't usually watch Chinese dramas, but I thought they all did a fabulous job. Liu Cecilia is beautiful and I was totally engrossed in her character. Ye Zu Xin is too cute.

I like the music a lot although a few times I wish it was just them talking.

I won't rewatch this but it is rewatchable.

I recommend this drama to everyone. I don't even like historical dramas and I loved this.
