I really tried hard to like this drama because Gong Yoo was so handsome and sexy here, both as a nerdy doctor and a cool 18yr old student. His acting was amazing too especially when he confronted his father in EP 12 or 13, his acting was superb. My score 9 is for him.
And even though Lee Min Jung is really beautiful, she can act, she can cry, she is cute, but I am not convinced with her acting, she looked more of an easy, gullible lady for me in the series. She's nothing but a pretty face (sorry,that is how i felt)

And although Gong Yoo was handsome and all, I can not fall in love with his character as Kang Kyung-joon, how can he boast about his looks to GIl Da Ran while it was not his face in the first place.

I like him better as, Seo Yoon-jae, I mean, how can Gil Da Ran, just forget about him, who by the way was lying in the hospital inside a different body. A doctor who loves kids, a handsome doctor being chased by his fellow doctor but still managed to be faithful. Who was on his way to tell confess his feeling to you before he got into an accident, being in a comma after saving the guy, who happens to enjoy his handsome face and sexy body, only to find out that Gil Da Ran chose that Oh-Oh school boy??

I mean,,,what duh??? But again if you long to see Gong Yoo in his early 30s go ahead and watch this. You might like it, since some people do. , But,,, I really did not like the story. I still love Gong Yoo though! Handsome!

My all time favorite drama.
The first time I watched this was in 2011,then in 2013, again in 2015 and just finished watching it today. I can relate to every bits of it.

Fo me this is a "Life Checker",I can get fond of things same as watching RomCom Dramas like Full House, Be carelessly in love as Coffee Price/Only You, be maturely in love as DOTS, be under love's mystery as Goblin, but just as how it is in real life, one should have a stage in their life to see how I've done in life so far, how well I dealt with people, how people dealt with me, how I felt about things in the past, present and future, how people might have felt towards me, and while being with the one you love sharing all nice things together and able to express your love really happens, at one point, there is a Han Kang in you or would wish someone like han kang exist in your life, the unexplainable love you have for a person or a person has for you that you get to show and appreciate or he get to show or appreciate, in spite of time, opportunities,distance, presence or absence.

And as for Ji Hyun's life in the drama:
"Does a reality exist where you do not mis-understand and you are not misunderstood? Is sincerely something i should consider first from my position or the other position?"
Even with purest intensions, you might find yourself asking those questions, but just as how the story turned out, the best way to life your life is to choose to love even if you ended up misunderstood, and to be sincere first even if you ended up being betrayed, because a person's heart can always change, and what you do greatly affect what would one's heart turn out to be."

Shout out to Lee Yo-won's acting, I have never seen any other Korean actress acted as good as her. There were not much of changes they had to with with her appearance to distinguish the 3 characters she played, her great acting alone was convincing enough.
Rest of the cast did good acting too.
Jo Hyun Jae, will always be close to my heart :)

I love Song Joong Ki's acting and looks in this drama.
During the first few episodes I did not like the female lead's acting and looks, I also don't feel good watching Joong Ki's pathetic role in the first few episodes. It took me 10 episodes before enjoying the drama as a whole. I was worried at first of how Kang Ma Roo's love and affection be transferred from Han Jae Hee to Eun Gi, but Song Joong Ki pulled it off in spite of some lacking aspects somewhere in the story. During the last few episodes, Kang Ma Roo's character became attractive so as his face, with those cool outfits and all. I was worried about what the ending would be, there were some flaws but al in all I'm ok with it.
If you are a Song Joong Ki fan, watch this.
If not, give it a shot if you have the luxury of time to watch.

I have nothing against this drama and I even like the actors - but it doesn’t interest me enough to enjoy and keep on watching - i might stick to watching a few episodes and jump to the final episode just for the sake of knowing how the story ended.

What makes it un interesting?

The story is stiff

Why did I even start watching the drama?
Good reviews and often on favorite drama list of some viewers

What is intersting about it?
The thrill when the bad guy was threatening them

Why wont I like it?
I dont have that much time to waste watching all episodes fully - i dont find it worthy of my time.

I love this drama because of KSH, his brilliant acting and handsome face; he was already fascinating in Dream High, so I am glad he got this huge here which gain him several awards which are well deserved. But If not for KSH, I would have not liked this much or maybe not even finish it after watching few episodes. Maybe because I cant help but compare it with another Sageuk i like;"Ballad of Seo Dong" which I have just also rewatched. Moon Embracing the sun was not as brilliant and polishedas BOS ; there were inconsistencies with the characters and the issues raised and and how the scripts were not at all impressive. And one big factor also is the lack of chemistry between KSH and the lead actress, If it was a different lead actress my review might be totally different I might have just loved it and didn't care about other aspects. I just wished the actress was different. (Sigh) but still KSH was lovable all throughout. I also enjoyed howKSH  sarcastically treats the Queen, and KSH  Relationship with his Eunich. Still giving this 8.5/10 for KSH presence in the drama; and 10/10 for brilliant acting of KSH and the rest of the casts. I will definitely rewatch this but only KSH scenes :)

I knew this drama has good reviews but I was not attracted to the poster (laugh) so I did not click it ;p
I almost drop it after watching 3/4 of the first episode, maybe bec I was not familiar with the casts. So I read some reviews again before continuing to watch it.
Then I was not able to notice I have been wating 8 episodes already :) that's how much I enjoyed it.
The Nam Joo Hyuk is the my new Oppa! So much appeal, a campus hearthrob indeed! And how come he has that perfect body at a young age. The plot is common but because of the characters it looked totally fresh,it was not exagerrated just suuuwaaagggg! Lee Sung kyuk's acting is commendable it's nice to see such talent in her generation, she was like Yoon Eun Hye in coffee prince, Nam Joo hyuk is as charming as Gong yoo as well.

It's frustrating sometimes of how we can not turn back time, especially the onces we miss so much, thanks to dramas like this that can bring us back to those times for awhile (16 hour to be exact) ughhhh those campus days :)
