Zeila Aug 30 2022 3:49 pm Finally, a drama worthy of binge-watching. So many stories they could tell, but they stopped at 8 episodes???? So disappointed.

Zach Oct 03 2021 2:01 pm an interesting drama that shine near the end of the story with a bit high pace . Quite slow at the remain part but still interesting 7/10

Zareen Tasneem Nov 14 2019 5:45 am This Drama is so good..I really like this drama..

Jibrat Jul 12 2019 5:29 pm Why does chun woo hee dress like a hobo? I hate it but she plays a strong role

Diane Apr 09 2018 4:23 pm This is an intelligent, well-written drama; a very nice change, given the current trend in the opposite direction.

MiaEee Jan 08 2018 2:11 pm Excellent drama. Glad it was only 8 episodes and didn't drag on. Kim joo hyuk did an awesome job as an anchor.

Mirtika Dec 19 2017 4:20 pm An excellent drama. The cast works together really well. Some of the stories had me weeping. It's wonderful to see this group of reporters with the politics inhouse and the corruption and injustices of society--they work to expose the bad. And they are human, so they have prejudices, virtues, make mistakes, act heroically. I was sorry to see it end. So good. The lead actor was so excellent.

ixx_dh81 Dec 09 2017 10:44 pm The one who played wang joong go is Lee Jae Kyun.. :)

Azzurra Nov 26 2017 10:50 am I really liked this Drama, I would liked to See the season 2, But Now I know that one of the protagonist in dead. I'm very sorry forse him ...

Karlie Nov 22 2017 8:25 am Kim Yoo Hyuk. Gutaeng hyung. I miss him so much! Argon is a good movie. He always appears wonderful and warm as the character Kim Baek Jin! RIP! I’ll never forget him! <3

citra Nov 19 2017 7:46 pm this drama is so good, beyond my expectation.. at the first i thought it will be boring but im totally wrong. this drama is worth to watch!! i need more than 8 eps :(

Jin ah Nov 10 2017 7:00 pm I came here after kim joo hyuk passed away, but this drama beyond my expectation. The plot is good, kim joo hyuk is sexy as well as reporter. Similiar to pinocchio.

Kori_23 Nov 02 2017 11:08 pm My heart is broken over the death of Kim JooHyuk. I became a huge fan while watching 2D1N. He opened up his heart to fan's of 2D1N & he gave us smiles & laughter. He is a member I will always remember forever. Rest in Peace Kim JooHyuk. My deepest condolences to his Family & Friends.

Kawai Oct 30 2017 8:38 am gutaeng hyung! you'll always be in our hearts! RIP

Camellia Oct 30 2017 8:21 am Kim Joo Hyuk has just passed away. So sad. Rest in peace...

Fie Oct 30 2017 4:15 am Our actor kim joohyuk, our gutaengi hyung, rest in peace ?

민도 Oct 10 2017 9:52 am Im gonna watch it, its only 8 episodes. :)

Alli Oct 04 2017 2:05 pm If you liked Newsroom (Showtime series), then you'll love Argon. Great acting and characters you're curious to get to know. I wish it was longer than 8 episodes and I'm surprised that the user rating is so low (perhaps because there aren't any "idol star" actors?). This is definitely worth watching!

ixxdhx Sep 18 2017 11:34 pm The one who played Wang Joong Goo is Lee jae Kyoon not Park Chul-Hyun! Please revise.. Thanks!

Kyk kim Sep 18 2017 10:44 pm Choi Taek !!!!!! I am gonna watch it

Woohee unnie Sep 06 2017 1:58 pm I'm going to watch this for Chun Woo-hee unnie! She has turned down so much drama offers but finally accept this one so it must be great!

pattiny Sep 02 2017 2:18 pm I'm going to watch this because Kim Ju-Hyeok is the lead?

Mey Aug 17 2017 10:12 pm it's only 8 episodes? hoping it'll be good tho .. gutaeng oppa hwaiting!! .. looking forward to the drama

Kawai Aug 15 2017 2:00 pm its gutaeng oppa, so i'll watch this :)

haha_lee Aug 15 2017 5:56 am male & female lead have a 13 years old different age? wow.. looks interesting.

Chunyang Jul 17 2017 4:40 am The storyline seems really interesting. Will watch :)

lila Jul 11 2017 7:24 am wow, unexpected gu taeng hyung to play new drama soon !!

Yuan Jul 09 2017 4:08 pm I'm sure she have learned the lesson! She'll be too foolish to repeat that! Just please drop the issue already, i agree with @Rose she has directed other successful dramas that captured our heart. It is not solely her doing on CITT, TVN has something to do with it too.

Rose Jun 30 2017 4:12 pm @Trapped in the piano and piano in the trap, don't forget that she was all the director of the famous COFFEE PRINCE!!! I've been searching for years for a drama like that one but I've seen none to date.

TRapped once in the piano Jun 30 2017 2:25 am Thanks @Piano in The trap for letting us know this k-drama is the same awful drama of CITT. I think i will pass this too.... That director is in my blacklist too...

Piano In The Trap Jun 24 2017 2:48 am I like Chun Woo-Hee but the director is CITT drama director.. Always remember what she did in that drama.. And who knows piano and 2nd lead affair will be appear Again? So i quit this drama cause the director still in my blacklist..

Grace Jun 05 2017 5:36 am So, after rejecting to play lead female in some drama , finally Chun Woo Hee choose to play in this drama???? good luck then :) The director was directing famous drama before, hope the drama will good :)

Leah Jun 01 2017 10:53 am Gutaeng hyungnim in TV drama.
