Little slow but good, I like the romance and passion between the kid and her. The friendship is also something to enjoy in this drama.

I love the depth of this show. The show is at a good pace, with great writing, good plot, and realistic characters. I felt moved from the beginning. Often I watch kdramas for the comedy, romance, or actors, but this is different. Oh Eun Soo is relatable especially the way she wonders about certain aspects of her life. I see a lot of negative comments and I think that they were searching for something completely different to this drama.

This is one of the worst KDramas I have ever seen. The only reason I watched was for Lee Sun Gyun. Every single character, with the exception of his was annoying. It was hard to like Eun Soo or to sympathize with her. Terrible.

Although not without its flaws, this drama is an interesting counterbalance to all the career-girl romantic comedies out there. It starts off pretty standard-issue, but goes on to explore the darker, more ambiguous aspects of life that rarely make an appearance in Korea's fairy-tale love stories. Focusing on the lives of three life-long friends, My Sweet City tells a story that's grown-up and populated by nuanced characters experiencing real-world emotions and dilemmas. Definitely worth watching, but it would have been even better if the chemistry in the second half lived up to the chemistry in the first half.

I couldn't wait to see this drama. The reason for that was because of actor Lee Sun Gyun. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the story after watching the first 2 episodes but I continued watching. I wanted to like Eun Soo but her personality was very immature. She also seemed to try to hard to act her age, which caused her to make mistakes. Ironically, I found Tae Oh much older than his age. The story did pick itself up a little and Eun Soo's relationship with Tae Oh was very cute to watch. The drama did start to drag a little when Eun Soo's attention turned to Young Soo. I didn't really see the chemistry until the final episode. I felt that this drama is more about friendship. It is also about not forgetting the past but finding your way to move on with life. Eun Soo did seem to mature at the end which made me start to like her. Overall this drama was cute but not what I expected.

I want my 16 hours back! Learned more from the cartoon, you could have saved yourself a lot of money and time. Kdramas wrong doers never go to jail, justice is never served and it's very frustrating. Have all the criminals in the world migrated to Korea yet? Because they can get away with it all. It was a shock that the guy went to prison for 20 years and not fully explained. They need to learn how to end a series better. Its like the series was promised 20 episodes and by the 15th, they ran out of budget so it has to end haphazardly by the 16th. The story leads up to a point, then poof, its not there anymore! I didn't know if the guy would say he was gay, if he got let out of prison sooner via mistake and in hiding, he could not marry because a certain organ got hurt while in prison, or if he made a pact with the devil and he came calling to get the body back. Then, who was the guy stupid enough to switched identities with? I could not recommend this dramas to anyone.
