I can’t wait for this drama
Woo Do Hwan is doing a great job in Save me
September 25th, 2017 at 1:44 am
I pass on this. Sounds boring and the choice of actresses moved me.
September 25th, 2017 at 3:35 am
Sounds very promising–looking forward to this! (Full disclosure, I would happily watch Yoo Ji Tae read the phone book). But looking forward to this FOR REAL!
October 13th, 2017 at 6:20 pm
First 2 eps were good.
October 13th, 2017 at 8:54 pm
First, i read the synopsis and its sound boring. But. after watch 2 episode. WOW! Drama which looks like movie!

November 6th, 2017 at 5:14 pm
I liked acting Yoo Ji Tae in Healer very much. And now he is working with Woo Do Hwan. They are good actors!
Also I liked love story between Kim Min Joon-shi and Jang Na Ri-shi👨💕👧!
November 9th, 2017 at 1:02 pm
Woo Do Hwan ssi somehow looks like RAIN – in my opinion. ha ha 😛

at first, i didn’t really care that much about the drama from reading the synopsis. then when i was in youtube, i happen to watch mad dog ost and it kind of motivated me to watch the drama >u< and its a good thing i did because this drama is like a masterpiece! the pace is not too slow not too fast, everything falls into its place. it feels like i watched an hour of episode in just five minutes! also i really love ryu hwayoung and woo do-hwan chemistry♥♥♥

Woaa guys you have ti watch this drama, its very nicely done, all characters are not boring, I live for Jang Hari and Kim Min Joon moments …. but dont expect to much on them…this is not a love themed drama… all of the viewers cherish their moments…it might me small but its very heart warming because both of them are very tough…this drama keeps getting better every episode…its not your usual drama, it also has a family touch, action scenes, relevant events(INSURANCE FRAUDS) and many more!!! JUST WATCH IT ALREADY!!!

I enjoy watching this drama about insurance payout scam etc. Quite exciting 😛
November 23rd, 2017 at 12:15 pm
I LOVE IT😍
This drama is much much better than the ratings. There are cliff hangers at the end of every episode. The characters are smart, believable and fun to watch. The storyline is relevant to recent incidents and tragedies that pull people together and expose corruption, greed in large organizations. Just of touch of romance in this, but, the focus is action, intrigue, corruption and family.
This has one of the most heart wrenching sad scenes I have ever seen in an Asian drama. I cried like a child watching You Ji Tae poor his heart into the sad scenes in the early episodes. Definitely worth watching.

@kaddictss. Your opinions discribe mine. Could not agree more
On every episode I enjoy and I keep waiting kim min joon-jang ha ri moments I thought they both do platonic love before, but so happy at the end of episode they already have romance relationship huhuhu ^^
