To me, this movie is perfection.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

That seems to be the question I'm left with after viewing the first two episodes. The lead female takes over acting to the extreme. Then there's the framing and close ups on said over acting that makes sure you can't miss it. And there's the script, there's only so much even a great actor could make of those lines. The behavior of the 8 year old girl at the center of the drama doesn't help towards garnering much sympathy from the audience. Her character is just not believable and quite irritating to boot. Devon Sawa and the husband Tom do a pretty good job with what has been handed to them but haven't been able to over shadow the glaring shortcomings. The pacing is a problem as well, especially in the first episode. They hit you with one thing after the next, never really establishing much of anything to captivate the audience. Even with the throw it all at the wall method they haven't carved out a unique story. I've only seen 2 episodes and I can pretty much guarantee the writers will have the lead locked up in the looney bin before the series is over. Le sigh.

I agree with most of these reviews that Paula Patton is way to over the top in this series. It makes the show so hard to watch because of her. I believe the best part of the show is the actor playing Nico Jackson, everyone else is ridiculous. I quit watching after 4 episodes because I could t take Paula Patton's extreme facial expressions and unexplainable acting.

The original Korean drama (God's Gift: 14 Days) amazed me at how well the various plot-lines wove about each other. I worried a bit about how this American version would do. There are differences, only to be expected. The show is shorter (10 episodes instead of 16) and the ending changes (to what ALL of us who watched the KDrama really wanted to happen let me tell you LOL). That change at the end did make me pump my fist & go 'YES', but in fact the original ending had more impact and verisimilitude. However, all in all, this was a good show. It got across the same idea as it's source, the actors engaged my interest, and I found it very watchable despite knowing who, what & how (so no mystery for me). I do recommend this show and give big thumbs up to ABC for doing a good job by not screwing up a great Korean drama! Let's hope that they do even better with The Good Doctor (yep, another KDrama adaptation). For the uninformed whining about how this will get cancelled & never last, oh lord. It's a MINI-series! It ENDS! Hallelujah!!!!

I honestly can't believe I'm still watching this show. I have watched it from the start, I thought perhaps the acting would improve--It didn't', I did think a plot twist might help salvage it. I was wrong, I cannot believe that the director is allowing for such overacting, And to give the viewers little snippets of what it so obvious to everyone is beyond frustrating. This is truly one if the worst shows I have seen since our first TV set in 1953, And I have seen some bad shows, I'm sure the actors are nice people, but come on guys, not one person is giving it their best, it's truly a waste of time
