It's not complete...

It's entertaining at times, but it's also frustrating because of the editing.

It's just not finished.

While watching it, I found it entertaining at first. Unfortunately, due to editing, especially in the latter episodes, this charm has been lost.

But even without the confusing editing, it's not a complete drama. Green computer monitors without inserted graphics and, in some places, surprisingly bad sound design.

The actors gave it their all (I think). It's not their fault. Post-production is to blame.

Super cute

First of all, I would like to say that I am not an EXO-L, but a casual exo listener. Also, I watched this drama because Xiumin had the lead role.

"Falling for Do Jeon" is an excellent drama.

It's short, cute and entertaining. (While I was writing this, I was thinking of the German word "kurzweilig", which means entertaining. This is the opposite of "langweilig", which means boring.) Xiumin, like the rest of the actors, did a good job.

I watched it within one evening and if I feel like a sweet drama again, I would watch it again.

Wasted my time

~ Please forgive any spelling errors. English is not my native language.

I won't write a whole review, but rather write down a few key points that I wrote down while watching the drama.

Starting with the positive:

1. I find that most actors act really well. I liked Landy Li (Cheng Liao) and Han Jiu Nuo (Cheng Yi) the best. Both had good chemistry as sisters.
2. The side story with the sister, Cheng Yi (Han Jui Nuo), was really good. I even think it was sometimes better than the main story. I liked the younger, Jiang Yu Da (Zhu Jia Qi), of the two love interests a lot.

Now for the negative:

1. The older, Xu Chi (Chris Song), of the two love interests, on the other hand, I didn't like at all. Although Cheng Yi already said that she is not interested in him and he also said, that he respects her decision, he still makes unwanted advances.
2. Niu Jun Feng (Sheng Jing Chu), as the lead was sometimes wooden and awkward. The character is somewhat intentional, but it didn't always worked. And in the end the character just annoyed me.
3. I found the villain arc of Yao Ke laughable at times. Maybe it was the script or the actor. It just wasn't Cao Bo's role, I think.
4. Normally, an episode on a show would end in such a way that you absolutely have to watch the next episode. here, after a few episodes, I asked myself the question: "Why should I watch the next episode? Nothing happened". Problems and story arcs are introduced and solved within one or two episodes. Events that seem important are forgotten within a few episodes.
5. The episodes are just too long. I don't have a problem with dramas that have a lot of episodes. I also don't have a problem with "long" episodes (45min or longer). But I have a problem with dramas wasting my time. When I was halfway through the drama (episode 20 or so) I stared watching the episodes at a faster speed (1.25x). Many scenes in the drama have simply been dragged out too long. I just feel like a lot of episodes only have to be half the length they are.

I wish I had liked the drama better. Unfortunately I didn't.

~ Again, sorry for any possible errors.

Must Watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the best dramas I've ever seen. If you love action, great storytelling and hand-to-hand combat then watch this drama!
HiGH&LOW has excellent fighting choreography and brilliant characters.
Although HiGH&LOW introduces a lot of characters at once, you'll quickly get to know and love all of the S.W.O.R.D groups, their leaders and members, and the supporting characters. All S.W.O.R.D groups have their own style. So you can tell them apart and you can easily follow the fight scenes.
This drama is so awesome.

A MUST WATCH!!!!!!!

Disappointing

While watching the drama, I found it very entertaining.

I liked most of the characters and most of the story. Unfortunately, the characters and the plot points I didn't like, often annoyed me and took me out of the story.
And although, as I said, I liked most of the story, the ending (no spoilers) was very disappointing.

I have never asked myself this question at the end of a drama until I saw this:
"Is this, the end? Is that all?"

The drama was ok. Unfortunately, I would not watch it again or recommend it.
