Park Min Oct 14 2022 11:50 am Watching all of the leads from 1999 was joyful, they barely aged and they are just as good as they are now. Jang Hyuk was absolutely charming with the 90's swag. The drama had its problems but the "scuffability" only adds to its charm. The good old times back then when smoking wasn't censored. Although there's some drag and too many sad b-rolls but I wanted to see a couple more scenes of the ending. This is when K-drama had a life crises before forming its new-age independent identity, you can feel it at times trying to branch out to western influence. Give it a shot.

Jinjoo Feb 14 2021 5:45 pm a few days ago i started rewatching my dvd on this drama & just finished it today & am having a withdrawal syndrome if you will, this is one of those kdrama classics which i must say are kinda missing these days in the dramaland! I'm a huge fan of classic kdramas & this is one of them! It's a great story, great casting & i honestly didn't remember that Cha tae Hyun, Jang Hyuk, KHN and Kim hyun joo have been working in those days? I just hope they will team up again, and that the production/director will think of a sequel since this drama is all worth it! Kudos to all of them in their specific roles! Loved it 2nd time around!

Char Hunter Jan 04 2017 12:05 am Three cheers for a classic that plays just as well today as it did when it first aired. Superb acting from the four leads and a dynamite script that layered each charater with such varied motivations and masterful emotional nuances. You don't have to know their world for it to feel real...the gangster/bar & lounge background is second to the yearnings of youth, the failures of wounded parents and the harsh barriers of class and power that can crush the first blush of love. Great job.

Madeleine Apr 04 2014 11:34 am One of the only korean dramas I have watched a second time. Great cast, rebillious youth, savage Choeble parents, motocycles, cigarette smoking, gang fights, all great stuff. And the love connections really work and make sense. Solid ending. Good chemistry all around.
