Drama Special Series Season 3: Sirius (2013)

My initial impression of this drama was that it was going to be badass, but less aesthetically appealing than other dramas because of its small budget. That's why it took me by surprise when the director used his limited budget to his advantage. Granted, the camerawork and special effects weren't that great, but I actually did enjoy this drama.
Story: The premise was a little cliche for my taste. Two twin brothers who feel at odds and are polar opposites? Not exactly a twist. But somehow the writers managed to infuse a scattering of random cliches and use them to create an original and action packed story. It wasn't perfect, but at 4 episodes long, this drama special was a nice watch when you want a break from the cutesy rom-coms of dramaland.
Acting: None of the actors were very well known, and you could tell they were new to their jobs, but that didn't affect this drama the slightest. They all had a very nice stage presence.
Music: Was there music? I honestly can't remember. *shrug*
Rewatch value: The second time is never as good as the first, so I don't think I'll be rewatching. I might skim through it again if I'm bored, but I wouldn't watch it all over again.
Overall: Nice story with nice actors. Not exactly a forgettable drama, but not exactly something I will remember forever.

Loved this drama. I don't remember another show to touch me so thoroughly within the first 15 minutes of it. If they expanded those 15 minutes and made it into it's own drama chronicling the life of the twins as children and teenagers I would watch the ever living hell out of it.
I don't usually watch melodramas, but this was only four episodes long so I could consume it in one sitting and now looking about at yesterday maybe I shouldn't have. I'm convinced I cried in my sleep my eyes felt heavy and my soul sad this morning.
There was a plot device revolving around drugs trafficking but the real story was about twin brothers Do Eun Chang and Do Shin Wu and how through one bad decision both of their lives are changed. I wanted to hug them both and tell them that it was going to be alright. This is the first time a drama has made me want to comfort the characters. It's a must watch for everyone.

When I begin to watch it that was not because I love the casting or because some people said me it's great ! I just fall in it by chance !! When the drama begin you're directly in the storyband I love that kind of bigining.
I love really love the main lead when he was teen and after. Act to kind of person totally different is success !!

The story is heartbreaker and so beautiful at same time whitout story love the drama is great and don't need something else !£

I don't want to say more because I'm going to do a spoiler but every people have to watch it it's a masterpiece of special drammmmmmmma

I loved this drama special - the description is a bit misleading though - I thought it would be about a evil twin and a good twin but it wasn't; it was mostly about misunderstandings of the younger twin and how much the older twin loved and wanted to protect his younger twin.
It was full of action, drugs, cops....I cried a lot - but make sure you watch all the way up to the very last seconds.
Cast: was so good - the actor who played the teens and the one who played them as adults - they know how to act! Eunchang was my favorite character <3

I will definitely re-watch this drama special again - I think I'm going to download it too!
It's definitely worth your time.

Most of great dramas are loosing their rythm and their greatness because they have to stick to a specific numbers of episodes, so in the last 4 or 6 episodes (hen it's not last 10 episodes....) it's getting slow, slow, sloooooooow and boring when the beginning was Great, thrilling and exciting! The big advantage of this mini-drama is that it's short (4 episodes) - so the rythm is crazy and thrilling till the end. You would say - yeah sure it's a mini-drama - but with from Sirius something amazed me:

1. I got amazed by the main actor, able to play the role of 2 characters so different in attitude, look, behavior (It made on me the same impression that the AMAZING actors performance in "Kill Me, Heal Me").
2. The scenario is not cheesy, it's straight to the point. And also full of contrasts. Those who like scenarii talking about morale, about Good or Bad, you would like this mini-drama. More than a Twins story, it's all essential life questions that are emphasized in this drama in a direct or indirect way. Twins, Yin-Yang, Good-Bad, Happy-Sad, Black-White, all those contrasts keep you tense till the end and make this really great alchemy in 4 episodes.

Great job! :)

Full of emotion, good storyline!

I enjoyed this a lot and they honestly did really well with such a tight budget! The balance between past and present scenes was done really well. I honestly also really appreciated many Shin Woo scenes where he went through with his hard words — it was just a nice switch up from the “antihero” who always ends up doing the right thing anyway.

I do wish they had played the audience more regarding which brother was which — which I think would have been more interesting than running around after Drug Lord and I'm a fan of psychological stuff — but at the same time I appreciate that each brother was very distinct.

I’ve got mixed feelings about the bad guy's ending — it kind of frustrates me that it wasn’t Eun Chang or Shin Woo that had the satisfaction of revenge, but at the same time the fact that Drug Lord’s downfall came from someone so close to him he never saw coming is satisfying in itself.

Another thing I would say is that I wasn't a fan of the open ending, especially because I really liked Eun Chang's character.

Overall it was still a really interesting watch and there was really good character development considering how little time it had. The drama also used some cliches but it handled them pretty well.

And thus I have concluded my first ever drama special!

This was one of my greatest drama dissapointment ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watching ep1 was truely terrific !! It made my expectation rise.... perhaps i had too much high hopes for this one (-_-;) that upon finishing this drama, dissapointment was enormous (T_T)

What i liked :
= Excellent idea of the story .... the plot was fresh !!! (don know other drama having similar storyline) , it was intigruing ... got me reveted in no time n it was unpredictable largely

= great acting by teen twins (good job Park hyung sik !!! ) n other characters

= creative way of storytelling .... each episode projected a little bit of experiences that the twins went through... which shaped their respective personalities to adulthood ..... and this help explain their change of behaviour ..... but it was done little by little ..... so kept me guessing as well as gave new insights to the character's personality


What i disliked :

= main actor Suh Joon Yong's acting .... it was okay until these brothers got swapped . I can understand that the story needed the viewers to b confused over the twins , but even so i cudn't find any demarcation betwn the elder n younger twin ..... the brothers were supposed to have completely different persanalities but he acted same to same for both ones when they got exchanged


= Irresponsible n incomplete plot .... while i liked the story idea, till i finished watching found plot mismatches here n there.... i cudnot help but getting the vibe that the makers were a little bit careless only giving attention to ill karma between the two brothers....

= lack of character development ... well,, this may b greatly bcoz of so few episodes

even then this lacked a lot in character development for me


=Time n Event relevance ..... it was very difficult to understand the flasback's time order (what i mean is, which scene happened first ?? for eg . was the visit of mother in jail was before she got addict with drugs or was it after ... )

= the ending .... first i will make myself clear that i am not biased with happy endings or any other kind ...
Its ending was Sad, Unclear n Pessimistic...... it wud have been better if at least they showed some downfall of drug world

So all in all , despite having a promising start n great story , this was a huge dissapointment. I wud not reccomend it proactively, but for entertainment purpose only its worth watch once for .
