The Innocent Man

An extremely impressive drama, very well executed by all the actors who portrayed their characters well. The storyline was sophisticated and very intriguing and the drama really fits the 'melodrama' type of ideal. Song Joong-Ki fit the role of Kang Maru very well and his chemistry with Moon Chae-won was very strong. This drama has plot twists, powerful emotion, and a very realistic ending. It's an outstanding drama, and definitely worth watching.

Absolutely juicy drama. I could not believe the lengths to which both the male lead (ML) and female lead (FL) would go to drag each other down to the depths of hell where they both belong. They transformed into monsters, and I was here all for it. The romance is good, at no point did I lose hope that ML and FL were a lost cause. Through exceptional acting, I felt there was still a glimmer of hope that things could work out. The possibility of them getting back together despite the pain they continually inflicted on each other, kept me glued to the screen. The heartbreaking choices and sudden surprises kept me entertained to the end.

It's the moment you take this show seriously that everything falls off into a cliff of nonsense. I started losing it when characters would casually walk over to the main lead's home every episode as if it wasn't a big deal, and drama ensued.

The other characters were equally impressive. I felt that the main character's younger sister and friend were valuable additions to the story. Even the antagonists were not overly irritating.

Ok this is essentially about REVENGE. Slow long term REVENGE.

A real drama that reels you in and hooks you with a bit of getting lost in the middle where you don't know who to side with. Empathy sways from one character to the other in love/hate emotions, but you keep snacking, watching and never stop until the last episode.

The character development in this series is just top notch! Everyone grows over time whether for the better or worse. Revenge seems to be the key but occasionally you begin to wonder if it is just revenge or passion.

The ML is beyond excellent. Song Joong-Ki fits the role of Kang Maru perfectly. A fine actor. Both the female leads were a bit wobbly with the actress playing Jae-Hee practically script reading, and not quite up to the standards of Song Joong-Ki.

I will quote another reviewer here because it perfectly sums up exactly my thoughts "I would say that this drama is a near accurate account of the lives of the entitled and the lives of the forgotten."

Yes it drags a bit in the middle with lots of sub plots relating to the business and his friend which never really get explained, but I rolled with it. If it was a book I would have been skipping chapters!

Took points off for the appalling end! I could almost hear some shout "Wrap it up now, right now, I said now!" The worse ending tie up ever seen and still it wasnt clear.

Still, watch it you won't be disappointed.

Yes, there are some stupid parts here and there...but it's normal in Korean drama. Overall, the drama was amazing. This was one of the very few dramas that actually made me cry at the end (happy ending, don't worry) because I was too much emotionally attached to it.

It's when you wonder many times in your life if you are a good person or a bad person. This great drama plays with these two roles that exist within us and makes us wonder what someone might win or lose in life, depending on his good or bad deeds. It really deserves to be watched! Great acting from Song Joong-Ki! The other actors were great too, but he is exceptional! And so handsome! :) :)
