Most reviewers has summed up the storyline, so I'm just going to give my opinion on the most important aspects of this drama.......the Main Couple.

I've finished this drama over a month ago, I am still re-watching it over & over again. This obsession reminds me of the Twilight Saga, when you just can't get enough of the lead couple and the combustible chemistry between the 2.

The lead actress, Zhao Lu Si, has quickly becoming my favorite Mainland China actress. She can be quirky and funny as well as serious and emotional at the same time. Her facial expressions and just small gestures were really entertaining. I also loved her with Riley Wong (he's so cute!) in I HEAR YOU. But the chemistry with Li Hong Yi is really off the chart. I also watched them in a previous drama, PRODIGY HEALER, but the acting and the couple interaction were like night and day compared to LOVE BETTER THAN IMMORTALITY. So I'm guessing it also had a lot to do with the Directing and probably a comfort level from the 2 couple having just done another drama together before.

Watching Qiu Yue Gah Gah was like watching a dangerous Cobra snake. You know that he's dangerous, but you are mesmerized and can't look away. Li Hong Yi played the perfect tortured hero or bad boy. Slightly mean & dangerous, but putty in Chun Fa's hands . He could deny her nothing except her absence and then all bets are off. Here's a guy who knows what he wants, and from the get go, its pretty clear, he wants HER! There were so many kissing scenes, each one hotter than the last. I know we all would probably leap into his arms the first time he said "I think you should marry me", but by playing hard to get (I mean she really made him work for it), the main actress really made the relationship more interesting.

My favorite scenes were the "Wine drinking scene (fanning myself), the busted wedding scene and of course the final "save" scene. Re-read this review after you watch the drama and you will see what I mean. The closing OST song was sung by Li Hong Yi and I had that downloaded to my phone after watching the first chapter. I absolutely love it and play it often.

As someone else has mentioned this is not a high budget drama, costumes not that fancy, back drops standard, secondary characters were just ok. But the storyline and chemistry between the lead couple certainly makes up for everything. Highly recommend! I wish there was a 2nd season if possible, but maybe just wishful thinking.

This is my first drama with Song Joong Ki. His baby face never appealed to me (like watching kid) so I often skipped his dramas. Well, his role in Descendant's of the Sun really turned me around. He was so cool and so sweet, what a great boyfriend he made. My friend's kept telling me the high ratings for this drama was due to the "romance" and the "flower boy". In my opinion, it is so not true. Yes it is about, love, but is also about friendship, sacrifice, honor, and in general the strength and weaknesses of being human.

This drama had a little Iris, a little City Hunter and a little ER all in one. Really good chemistry between the main couple. But the secondary couple also had a wonderful story line as well as great chemistry. Some really moving moments between both couples and some really funny light hearted moments as well. The supporting casts were also really awesome. Great acting from everyone.

Awesome OST, read that it hit the music charts hard in several Asian countries.

As much as I enjoyed the romance of this drama, it also made me think of the danger and sacrifice that our own real life service men and women face for our countries. I also appreciate the many doctors that volunteer all the time for Doctor's Without Borders.

A very well done drama, worthy of the buzz and the high ratings it received. I loved Song Joong Ki so much, I looking into more of his dramas. INNOCENT MAN is looking really good.

Wish someone wrote a review so I did not have to suffer through this drama. I watched it because I have become a big Jerry Yan fan because of Loving, never Forgetting. He was also great in Down with Love. However, Starlit, was one big painful drama to watch. Basically watching a young, beautiful & vibrant girl, slowly die from MS. Also painful to watch are the love ones (friends, boyfriends, father,etc) who surround her with love & support but also suffer the agony of watching her body slowly deteriorate. Drama left me thorough depressed, wished I knew ahead of time and skipped it.

This is my 2nd Danson Tang drama. I saw him first in the HK vampire drama, STILL HAVE TIME TO LOVE YOU. He was very cool and brooding (my favorite characteristics), but in Murphy's, he was a much better actor. The chemistry between the male & female leads in Murphy's was amazing, what a cute couple! I really enjoyed watching how their love blossomed, the way Danson's character became I'M TARZAN, here to take care of you JANE.. Lvelyn Li played the sweet & innocent Jane to a perfection.

What prevented this drama from getting full marks was the way the story line neutered the male lead. I've seen this a few times in dramas, and it is really annoying. They take a perfectly good guy who is confident, loving and loyal and reduces him to confusion over 'what did I do wrong, I only wanted to love you'.. It became worst when the female lead went from sweet & bubbly into a little 'I am woman, hear me roar, witch'. Girl Power became extremely overrated when she became unappreciative of all he does for her and decides to 'find herself';. She of course soon learns the hard way that the love she pushed away is really what her heart desires and to quote the drama, 'what you want most in life can be achieved if you persevere and work hard to the end'; Good life lesson.

There were so many romantic & touching moments and the music really complemented the moods. The OST is amazing, check it out on YouTube. I am now hooked on the New Artist, GJ who sang JUST WANT TO SAY. Turns out to be 2014 contestant on China Idol.

Going to watch it again....

PS: incredibly cute dog, POLO, throughout the drama,

Don't really care about all the bad reviews, so glad I did not read them before I watched this drama.

I am also a huge Hyun Bin fan, especially in My Name is Kim Sam Soon, but I am also a big fan of the female lead, Han Ji Min. she is one of my favorite Korean actress. She was also in Roof Top Prince which is a MUST SEE favorite Korean dramas. The chemistry between the two leads were wonderful. Great cast overall, even the supporting cast.

Had a little of everything, mystery, bad guys, humor and romance! There were no dragging moments for me, I looked forward to every episode and stayed up late for a couple of nights to watch it. Cried a lot towards the end, but be patient, good ending.

I loved Hyde, Jekyll, Me!!!!!! Would rewatch it again in the future.

Promising Storyline that didn't deliver

This drama had a promising storyline regarding special werewolf like beings living among regular humans. However, the script for the FL was terrible and eventually I stayed to watch just for the smokin hot ML. Omg, his smile lit up the cameras and when he turned "beasty", he was so fine! I've seen him in another drama where he was a blond, no no no, that color does not do him justice. His dark hair really fits him best. The downside was the FL, she was immature, annoying, not pleasant to watch. I got bored with her character very quickly. The supporting acctress who played the "General" was much more interesting to watch. she was deadly as well as beautiful. Overall, could have done a better job with the script.

I loved this drama from the start. The action started right from the beginning and the main Character Michael King was "oh sooo cool". just the way I Iove my main man. I guess most people would either love it or hate it. It's an entertaining drama if you don't take it too seriously but won't like it if you want something deeper. Like watching an Korean version of the old James Bond Movies. I for one absolutely loved it. Song II Gook is so incredibly hot , definitely eye candy treat for me. Will be looking for other dramas by him. Main couple could have had more romantic scenes together, that's my only issue.

So Realistic........I couldn't stop watching

Some people were complaining about how frustrating it was to watch, especially crazy family dynamics. Well, imagine living it like I did and not just watching it. Watching this drama, was like watching my own family life from years ago go by. The only difference was that my life did not end as well as the main characters................my parents never changed.

Many who are Asians can really relate to this drama, it is rivoting, I couldn't stop watching, could stop yelling at my TV. But overall, it is really a "feel good" drama with a good ending. Highly recommend.

I had to check out this old Classic Favorite and I was not disappointed. This is my 2nd Jerry Yan drama, and he has got to be one of the sexiest guys in world. OMG, I mean if he falls in love with you, he will take care of you for life and give you 110%. He has that trade mark, sideways smirk/smile that gets me every time. Ella was funny in this drama, but I did not like her character that much. I felt that although she was suppose to portray a really dense & naive girl, she kind of irritated me a lot with her insensitivity, especially towards Jerry who was in love with her and her sister who was hurt by her actions however un-intentional. I actually was more interested in her sister's character, I really liked her. The storyline was really good, acting by supporting cast was terrific. If Ellen's character was not so annoying, I probably would have given it higher marks.
