In the beginning of the series the first character that we actually see is Jang Jae Yeol’s older brother- Jang jae Beom who had just been released from prison. Transitioning from there we are able to see the oh so glamorous Jang Jae-Yeol is introduced as a DJ however a fight breaks out into the scene when his brother crashes the party and causes as scene. Ji Hae Soo is also another character that is introduced during the pilot episode; she is one of 3 other roommates who live together. The more you watch the series the more you will come to learn the different struggles that each and every character works through.

Personal Thoughts

I Love how they did the pilot episode for this series; the style was so fresh and different from the other drama that I have watched- not only that but many of the Korean networks are basing many of their drama’s on psychological issues which I feel is something that has been undermined and pushed under the table.

As a student majoring in Psych- I felt that this was a drama series that took a fresh new take on the kdramas that have been previously produced. It’s also a drama that pulls you in very quickly within the opening scenes. Intense.

The drama beings to venture into a sort of dark atmosphere going thorugh the experiences and the child history of Jae Yeol- however there are a whole bunch of humour filled scenes that sort of balances out the dark side

I also think that the choice in actors really made a difference- the chemistry between the whole cast was very well blended; everyone just felt like they were part of a big family xD. The acting overall was just simply fantastic- it was just something that you feel you can relate to and that’s important.

Although this drama came out a few months ago- many of the cast members in the drama have won a number of the 2014 SBS Drama Awards . So with just that being said, i’m pretty sure its safe to say that this is one of the Top Drama’s of 2014.
