I also noticed something noone has mentioned, someone on the production side must have a thing for british entertainment. 1) the song playing when Mu-yeol confesses to Eun at the hospital is the PM’s Love Theme from the british rom-com Love Actually, 2) during the date with Min Chul the background song is Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps — the theme from british sitcom Coupling 3) the montage at the end of case 14 is exactly like the heathrow airport montage in Love Actually. When I rewatch this drama, and it will be re-watched lol. I am gonna try and scope our more hidden gems.

I’ve always thought it would be funny if they did a drama based on the side-characters of another really famous drama, like a Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead k-drama

It’s still early for me to tell without seeing the ending (cause some endings are just so WTF?). I feel that this series is notable more for the story/writing than anything else (although acting was also top notch). MIA is great because it seeked out to be different. And i think it succeeded nicely. Coffee Prince, Soulmate, and MNIKSS are great romantic dramedies (with awesome music); so the comparison may not be apt cause they are in a different genre. But if we’re judging on the merit of storytelling alone, MIA is the sentimental favorite. I’m curious to know how javabeans would rate this drama.
