Well, I have had mixed feelings for this drama. I liked the idea of revenge, and I really wanted to watch it. It started nicely, I really enjoyed the first episodes.
Then, it got kind of boring, and I thought of dropping it. I'm not really a dropper, so I just went on watching. Then it got interesting again, until a certain point, when they had to deal with many company matters, which, in my opinion, weren't really relevant. In the last few episodes, I felt that not much was going on. I think that they should have made it a 16 episodes drama. 16 episodes would have been enough. Even if it had 20 episodes, the ending felt very rushed, and many things were left unclear.
The acting was amazing. Song Joong Ki did an amazing job! In the beginning I thought that he was not that great, but plain. And then, I got kind of annoyed with his character, because I never knew what he was up to. So, his acting was amazing, he really got in the skin of Ma Roo, who is able to do anything to get what he wants, no matter what that means. Beautiful acting!
Moon Chae Won was also very good, I really enjoyed watching her, and how she changed throughout the story. Park She Yeon was great, even if I hated her character, somehow, at certain parts, I got to feel pity for her. Every actor with his character got into my heart. Lee Kwang Soo was amazing, I really liked his character, and I also read that he is best friends with Song Joong Ki in real life.
I enjoyed the music, it was nice.
Rewatch value? Hmm, I don't think I would rewatch this drama soon, because at some points it got me really bored, and I really struggled to finish it at the points.
Overall, it was a nice drama, with a potential. Beautifully done, I really emphasized with the characters and what they felt. I gave it an 8

First of all, I want to say that I enjoyed this drama. I watched it right after finishing Kill Me, Heal Me, because they are both Psychological, with a psychiatrist as the main lead.
The story was nice, and I really like the way that it went. It went smoothly, even if at some points it was a little bit slow for me. I felt that for a few episodes, nothing happened, and I even thought of cheating and skipping some episodes, because I thought that I had nothing to miss out. But I managed to watch every episode, and I don't regret it. The story wasn't unnecessarily complicated, and I came to love every character.
I liked the main couple, even if in the beginning I was really confused whether I like it or not. At first, I thought that the actors had a great chemistry, but the plot wasn't helping them that much. It felt rushed between them, and I didn't really see why they fell for each other. Later on, I found out what actually happened, so if you feel the same thing as I did, don't give up, just keep watching, because it gets better!

The cast was amazing, I really liked Gong Hyo Jin in The Greatest Love. It was my first time watching Jo In Sung, and I liked him a lot, and I look forward to watch another dramas with him. As I said, I felt that they really have had chemistry.

The OST was great, and I really enjoyed the music.

If I will rewatch it? Hmmm, maybe, but not in the near future, because I intend to watch other dramas first,

Overall, it was a really nice drama, with a nice twist and story. I gave it an 8.
So, if you want to watch something fun, with a lot of hilarious moments, but also with some serious moments, you should give it a try.

This drama drove me nuts! I kept bumping on it here on MDL, it also had Ji Hyun Woo in it, so after rewatching Queen In Hyun's Man, I said to give it a try.

The story was not something promising. Take your typical jerky singer, a talented but poor girl, a rich and nice guy as the second lead, and a flat marionette-second-female-lead, and you get Trot Lovers. As I said, nothing new, but the first episodes were really enjoyable, I laughed a lot, and I could feel the chemistry between the leads, so it was bearable. At some certain points, my heart fluttered when the leads were close, so I thought that this drama will go up in my top.
But as the clichees came, the story was ruined, so it became kind of hard to watch... The producers wanted to approach many subjects, but they started them and they either never finished them, or left them unclear.

On the other side, the cast was great. I really liked Ji Hyun Woo as Joon Hyun, and Jung Eun Ji as Choi Chun Hee. I have never heard of her before, but I really loved both the actress and her character. Also, her voice is amazing, and I really enjoyed the times when she performed. Shin Sung Rok was amazing, he really is a great actor. I have seen him in You Who Came From The Stars, as the psycho brother, and I really hated his character. Here, as well, he sold his character very well., Also, how could I not mention the bromance moments? Lee Se Young was just... flat. I felt sorry for her character at some points, but neither the acting nor the character caught me. Yoo Eun Mi was the cherry on the cake, I really loved her character, and I was so happy to see her! She made me keep watching the drama lol. Also, I really liked Tae Song and Pil Nyeo. Great cast!

About the music... I really liked when they sang, those were some great moments, but the OST didn't really catch me, it felt... poorly made.

Rewatch value? No, I won't rewatch this drama.

Overall, I gave it a 6. I couldn't decide between 5 and 6, but I gave it an extra point for the cast! :)

If you want to watch a drama full of clichees, which becomes overly dramatic, you can watch this. But if you want to watch a drama that brings something new, something well-done, keep searching, this may not be the drama you are looking for.

Woah, I can't believe that I have finished this drama in... 3 days! I didn't even wanted to watch when I found out about it, because the poster is so ugly in my opinion (yeah, I'm superficial), it has 21 episodes and I don't really have the patience, and the story sounded silly for me.
But I decided to give it a try and I regret nothing!
As I said, the story sounded kind of silly. A perfect-looking alien landed on Earth 400 years ago, and then he falls in love when he has only 3 months to stay on Earth. But as I watched it, I really enjoyed it. I really liked the references to the past. Some were very sad, some were just hilarious. I really liked how the story went, how the comedy was so nicely combined with the melodrama, and with the supporting story (if I can call it that way).
The acting was great, and the actors did an amazing job! I actually lived with them the happy, and even the sad moments! I really liked all the characters. Kim Soo Hyun was amazing in the role of Min Joon (or should I call him Da Mon? lol)! Also, Jeon Ji Hyun was great, even if in the beginning I didn't really like her, she did an amazing job! And Song Yi was a really great character, I have often identified myself with her. Park Hae Jin also was good, and I liked his character a lot. As much as I like Yoo In Na, I think that she didn't sell her character quite well, she just seemed sweet and innocent all the time, even when her character was technically showing her teeth.
The music was great, I really enjoyed the OST!
As a rewatch value, I gave it a 9, because I may want to watch it again in the future, I really liked this drama.
Overall, I give this drama a 9.5. If you want to watch a drama where you can laugh, and cry at the same time, where you want something serious, but not too many complicated things, misunderstandings and bullshit between the leads, you should definitely watch it!

It was a nice drama to spend 50 minutes with.
The story was cute, an alien has a mission to find out what human tears are, while the main girl is in a difficult situation in her life, so the 2 of them met.
It was nice to begin with, but it was too short, and many many things were left unclear. I know, it was only 1 day, it was only 50 minutes, but it felt rushed as hell.
Also, it was kind of confusing...
The acting was good, both leads were nice to watch.
I really enjoyed the music at the end, it was very nice! <3
About the rewatch value, I don't know if I will ever rewatch it. Perhaps not, it was that kind of drama that I will most likely forget about in a few days.
Overall, I gave it a 6. If you are bored and want to watch something very short, you should give it a try. The 50 minutes are filled with action, you won't get bored watching it!
