When it comes to classic style Romantic K-Dramas, it can be hard to find any that really stand out from the pack. This one does.

As per the "classic" label, the overall plot for this show is pretty unrealistic, littered with many of the typical cliches and "impossible coincidence" tropes that define the genre. However, those plot devices fade into the background next to the deep and emotional performances delivered by the entire cast. Especially CJH, who really makes you feel the despair and loneliness suffered by people with dementia (not to mention his other situations) .

While it is the acting that truly carries this show, the beautiful cinematography and moving script also deserve a mention. I especially loved all the impromptu "supper poetry" scenes. And while I personally might have liked it if the story's antagonists had been given a bit more dimension, on the other hand, they weren't all paper thin or completely stereotypical bad guys either.

I have no idea why the IMDb ratings are so low, but if you go for classic K-Drama with great acting and plenty of romance, don't be put off and give this show a chance. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Recommended!

ROMANCE RATING: * * * 9.5/10. With fantastic chemistry between the leads and an astonishing (by K-Drama standards) 7+ kiss scenes, this film won't disappoint romance junkies. CJH is unquestionably an excellent actor in plenty of ways, but honestly it's his his skillful and passionate kiss scenes that I'm most a fan of! :)

Not my favorite K-Drama, but I always watch to the end. Romantic in some parts, and the chemistry between the main male lead and the main female lead seemed to be good. I personally thought the car accident scene was too gruesome for me - I usually like to watch romantic K-Drama to get away from that kind of thing. Laying in the street with no one helping while he is dying in a gruesome pool of blood where his head was smashed is not something I really want to see on a romantic show. The memory bits coming back were a little too boring as well and thought it was kind of sad to keep watching it over and over again. The ending could have been a little happier IMO to lighten the mood of all the sadness from the previous episodes.

Devilish Joy is a drama packed with cliche and corny scenes. The cinematography, at least, was gorgeous. As a whole, the story was okay, though the first episode was the most rediculous one I have ever watched. Things got better after that, but still, the drama lacked originality. The performances, moreover, were good, but I think that the couple needed a tick more chemistry to support the over the top romance that they had to present. However, the leading lady was really good and enjoyable. Though, Hoya felt out of place in this character.

Acted and presented very well. U fall in love with the leads and feel sad for them..

There is nothing new in this drama yet you will find something that will refresh you instantly.

The music, the side characters and most of all the main leads made the drama into something precious.

Some incidences are extremely cliché and corny but some moments will make you go awe.

Chemistry: I am a sucker for good romance and good chemistry. The chemistry is sizzling! Their acting felt very natural. Their relationship is mature and sensual.

This pairing was all I could ask for, they are cute, sexy and that height difference...omg it was the cutest!!!

Choi Jin Hyuk: I adore Choi Jin Hyuk! Before starting this series I read this somewhere that "Either Jin Hyuk found a drama that appears to ideally fit to his own character, or they changed it a bit to fit him, because he is superb in it." and this is absolutely true because CJH has an ability to play characters, that seems simple and lighthearted, at the same time, being incredibly deep and sophisticated.

I love how his smile reaches his eyes and his voice...oh his voice!

Song Ha Yoon: She is cute and charming and equally enjoyable. Looked extremely cute with the ML. I loved her wearing different white outfits throughout the show. It showed her positive attitude for all that she had gone through.

Her character was strong and resilient without being hard.

OSTs: "Tuk Tuk" will make you feel like you are in love. It fits perfectly on the couples.

• Choi Jin Hyuk's "Love to forget" is soothing too.

Lastly, all I can say is its definitely worth watching drama of the strength of memories and connections between lovers.
