Henna Jan 05 2024 1:44 pm By end of ep3 and beginning of ep4, I decided I can't watch this drama. What a disappointment.

Henna Jan 05 2024 9:30 am I'm still at episode 3. Honestly, I'm struggling with the kissing scenes. They are out of character. The ML's moral character is all over the place. How come he kisses the FL when she's drunk?! A married woman?! It wasn't even a date?! How did their relationship develop?! The other two kissing incidents are just laughable. What does this say about the overall plot? There are 13 episodes to go :) I'm not sure I can process this absurdity.

goki Apr 18 2022 4:03 am I must say,i dislike dramss that focus on revenge,plots like this one But i really enjoy this drama lol,the plot was good even though how ironic i dislike revenge theme,plus all the actors and actress perform well

Thanh xuân Sep 16 2021 10:22 pm The drama is good..i love Park shi hoo..and by the way, actually Cha woo huyk is father of the kid..Jeong won said to her husband befor he died?

Judy Mar 18 2021 8:42 am Very good drama, love park si Hoo acting. Too bad it is not showing in Netflix or Viu

Maya J Feb 25 2021 6:49 am Every episode creates another puzzle to think to.

Maya Jose Feb 24 2021 9:33 pm So its how i came up watching this drama.

I watched Mr.Queen,t hen got fond of the cast. So search for more dramas of Shin Hye Sun. I found golden life. PSH was great in acting and really suits him corporate attire. Then searched dramas of PSH. I just found out that he was the handsome brother of female lead in Iljimae(LJG drama). also done watching Flower of Evil. Amazed by the acting of all cast there, then found out Jang Hee Jin(LJG's noona in FoE) was also a main cast here.

By just watching the 1st episode of this drama, BabelL, i can say that it is very interesting. And it really was one of the best drama I've watched. Especially if your Genre is about mystery,law, etc.

Ad Feb 15 2021 7:21 am @ok94dr: agree with you, PSH much more suitable in a melodrama like this than in romcom. Maybe because his face and eyes kinda look mellow

Ad Feb 15 2021 7:18 am Really good drama, the story idea actually isn't something new but executed very well. park Sihoo and Jang Hee Jin done a great job, and they really sweet as a couple.. But I will give it 9 because until in last episode it's unclear who's the baby's father

asa May 06 2020 8:23 am with SPOILERS____ This drama is good.. Uhm at first maybe you will not like it bec the girl cheated but you will learn about it when you finished the story... and before she cheated, Her husband cheated first... she even wanted divorce but he dont want to give it.. no one deserves to be treated like how her husband treated her...

this drama will make you curious what really happened thats why it will make you watch till the end.. Its good. you should try it ! :)

Milagros Llauger Apr 15 2019 7:06 pm I gave it a ten. The last time I saw a drama with this kind of intense emotional ride was "Money Flower" with Jang Hyuk. From the beginning to the end I was at the edge of my seat. Jang Hee-jin was stunning in her acting and beauty. Kim Ji-hoon's part was not long enough, but he left a strong presence as the cruel husband. Kim Hae-sook was one of the best sociopath's I seen in a long time. She was fabulous. Song Jae-hee transformation as this weak mama's boy to becoming his own person was an award winning performance. Park Shi-Hoo will always be my first bias, when I first started watching K-dramas. Like Lee Joon-gi he has one of those beautiful, handsome faces......on top of that he can act! The ending with Your My Everything" just tugged at my heartstrings.

Alex Mar 31 2019 10:06 pm Whose the child at last?

ilknur Mar 02 2019 2:13 pm to be honest, ı didnt like first 3 episode.. sexuality and harassment were at the forefront and wait what? no way , why accept my favorite actor(Park Sİ Hoo) this drama? no style him? but 4/5/6/7/8 and now 9 episode incredibly beautiful so intense excitedly waiting for new episodes.. Babel Fighting

Fan of this drama Feb 25 2019 6:06 pm Awesome drama and very intense screenplay. Emotional rollercoaster. Fan of this drama from very episode 1. This keeps getting better and better by every episode . Simply exceeds expectations. Not to mention, Cast is fantastic.

Wiee Feb 18 2019 5:50 am The girl looks like park bo young ?

ok94dr Feb 15 2019 7:05 am this drama is just awesome; the plot is perfect so much twist turns make me always wonder what going to happen next ; hope this goes well and not get borring at the middle also park shi hoo and jang hee jin are perfect for this maybe they was fit more for melodrama than a romcom i honestly didn' t like shi hoo on his previous drama lovely horribly

Ms.Wonderful Feb 12 2019 3:34 pm I am fan of Jang Hee-Jin. I really her mind blowing performance in this drama. Watching just for her. She is not only elegant and ethereal but also talented.

Gabriel Feb 09 2019 8:58 am Loving this drama series so far. Jang Hee-Jin is killing it in her role.

Pamela Kay Feb 04 2019 12:44 pm Kim Ji-Hoon is being killed off way too soon. I hated seeing him as a villain cause I love the actor.. They could have had him in a few more episodes would have been all right with me.. I do like the drama so far. I am also a big fan of Park Si-Hoo. This drama seems to have a lot of twists and turns.

AC Feb 03 2019 10:02 pm Oh my gosh!!! Loving this drama! So many twists! Cannot wait for more episodes to come out!

n3g Feb 03 2019 6:26 pm yeahhhhh interesting plot...

MB Esplana Jan 30 2019 11:43 am The end of the first episode leave me with a big question mark? Like how come? So i'm excited to watch the next episodes.

Victoria GR Alaban Jan 28 2019 6:10 am I expect this drama to be exciting and interesting ...the actors and actresses are known for their good acting.

ilknur Jan 27 2019 11:52 am I just started watching episode 1.I'm really really so many loved .. mystery and suspense! Park Si Hoo and Babel Fighting !

Titanus Jan 27 2019 5:06 am She's one of my favorite actresses and I was excited to see her as the lead, but not with that counterpart. This is a huge disappointment.

Fundi Jan 27 2019 2:11 am I am really looking forward to this series and hope it's gonna be spellbound. PSH is one great actor who gives any role he portrays his best! ....Always! Carpe Diem!

newkid Jan 25 2019 8:46 am Fingers crossed... please don't waste Kim Hae-Sook

İlknur_sihoo Jan 07 2019 1:22 pm Jan 27 will start, Fighting Sihoo and Babel

Shy shy Jan 07 2019 3:20 am I will definitely watch it for Jang he Jin. she is phenomenal actress but underrated. I will definitely support her by watching all her dramas. All the best unnie.
