Well...what to say? What to say? The story isn't the most original; rich, jerk falls for a poor girl, but even though it isn't original, it's a classic storyline. I liked the story, and it was cute. There wasn't any humor really, and the romance there was, wasn't that great. It was almost like the genre was..."huh." The cast did good. I really liked the female lead. I saw her in Secret Garden, so it was cool to see her in a different role, and I thought she did great. The other characters/actors didn't leave an impression. I can't even remember their faces. I liked the music. It was sweet? I wouldn't rewatch this. It wasn't good enough to watch, it was just an average movie.
I've never been so humored and creeped out by a movie in my life, like I have been by Chilling Romance. The story is different. I don't know many comedic horror movies, do you? It was the perfect blend in genres that are never blended together. There's romance, humor, and horror. There were parts that are crazy funny, and others where you'll be super creeped out and scared. The romance was lovely; how they fell for each other and how the male lead was willing to accept the female lead, and all that goes with, like...I don't know, ghosts? The actors did wonderful. I don't think the characters could be played by different actors, or else the movie wouldn't have been the same. There wasn't really any music, but I loved the song for the end credits. It wasn't an overjoyed happy song, and it wasn't creepy like you hear in horror movies, but it was just how it was, and it fit perfectly. It's the sort of movie that you'll want to rewatch right away, but I doubt there would be the same suspense like there would be watching it the first time, because you'll know what's going to happen next. I absolutely loved this movie from the very first minute. It's a great movie, and worth watching 100% So, enjoy...:}
A Millionaire's First Love is a tear jerker. From the very beginning I was absolutely intrigued by the story. Many of the tragedies I have seen wait until the very last moment before revealing the sad part of the story, but in this movie it was made obvious from early on. There were no other twists or turns in this movie, it just had the main point; the love between two people that ends in sadness. The love between the two leads was beautiful, and very endearing.Seeing how the characters looked at each other and treated each other was what made this movie worth watching. The only complaint I have is that I didn't see how the two leads fell for each other. In one scene they barely said a few words to each other, and in the next they were confessing their love, so I couldn't see how the feelings they had for each other emerged. What was great was after the confession, how they loved each other. Hyun Bin did great, and I could really feel the emotion his character was portraying. The few songs in this movie were beautiful and went along well with the emotion of each scene. I don't get all teary eyed watching tear jerkers, so I didn't cry, or get upset while watching this movie, so I would easily be able to rewatch it right away, since it was so good but, if you're someone who can't handle sad movies and such, you probably wouldn't be able to rewatch this right away. It's a great movie, and has a ton of emotion involved. I enjoyed watching it, and will watch it over again, and again in the future.
The storyline may not seem like something that is unique; a rich guy falling in love with a poor girl. The scenario is overused, but just because it's a commonly used theme that is the main focus in Protect The Boss, this drama has it's own unique twists. I know many people didn't like the extension, but I thought it was cute. The extended 2 episodes might not have had drama, or any important defining moment, but those 2 episodes still had some great moments between the 4 leads, and it had a great ending for this drama. The characters were what made this drama unique. Each and every character was like a big kid. They were constantly fighting with each other over stupid things, and annoying each other, just like elementary school kids would do. That may seem like something that would make this drama a turn off, but it is what kept the drama funny, and made me want to come back and watch the next episode. The character's personalities were hilarious, and no matter how evil the character is suppose to be, you can't hate one character at all. Jaejoong did one of the songs in this drama, so of course the music was great, a lot better than most dramas. Protect The Boss is definitely something worth rewatching. The story was cute and light-hearted, and totally worth your time.
IT ENDED TOO SOON. I usually think that the allotted time for most dramas is appropriate, but in this case, it ended too soon. I thought the story was too good to be told only in 11 episodes. Buzzer Beat is a drama that deserved to have more too it. It needed more time, so the audience could see the characters develop better, and see the romance between the two leads progress slower. The acting was great. I really loved the acting. Yamapi is already one of my favorite actors, so of course, immediately, because of him, the acting was going to be great. I have only seen the lead actress in Paradise Kiss, and didn't care for her character all that much in the movie, but after seeing Buzzer Beat, I am truly impressed with her acting ability. I loved her character, and especially the character that's Riko's best friend. The theme song had a great melody, beat,rhythm, and was really catchy, except, I didn't care for the singing at all. I didn't think that the singer's voice fit in well with the concept of the drama. I would rewatch this drama, because it was just too good! Overall, I give it an 8. It scores an 8 because I didn't think there was enough time to develop the character's and relationship between the two leads to the point it should have been.
Let me first off say that I was unable to fully complete this drama, because I could not find episode 13 anywhere!! But I don't think that is really relevant concerning my review. I really think that this drama is underestimated. I loved the story about long lost brothers having to work together to inherit their father's money. It's not a story that is typically seen, and that is what attracted me to this drama in the first place. I do think that the drama focuses more on the relationships the brothers develop with the girls in their class rather than with each other, but there is definitely the aspect of brotherly love, and friendship that I thought was one of the best parts of this drama. I think the actors actually did good. I'm not too familiar with Taiwanese music stars, and I know that this drama was apparently an idol drama, and what people typically say is that idols can't act, well I think they did a good job here. Each character had their own unique personality, and the actors did a great job of portraying each and everyone. There wasn't one character that stood out more or less, they each were able to hold onto the spotlight when they needed to. The theme song was extremely catchy, which is a big thing from me, because I don't really like Chinese music, but I really did like the music in this. I will watch this drama again one of these days. It's not a must watch once every month, on every holiday, and during every sporting event sort of drama, but I most likely will check it out again in a year or two. Overall, I thought this drama was extremely cute, and should be higher rated than it is! And if you're able to find the complete 13th episode somewhere, please tell me...I would really like to see how this drama ends.
When I first started watching Dream High 2, I was unsure if I was going to like it, because I didn't like the storyline about already famous stars becoming even more famous. After I watched the first few episodes though, I started to really like Dream High 2, even more so than Dream High. I felt that the story was heading in the right direction, but somewhere along the way I feel that Dream High 2 lost it's gusto. By the middle, the story seemed a bit too rushed. There are still things that are left unclear, and really it seems that the writers just gave up. It fell into a plain, boring pattern. But! I did, however, love the ending. Something about Dream High and Dream High 2's endings really get to me. The ending is realistic, it's not some super, happy, everyone becomes a superstar sort of ending, it's realistic in the sense that it makes it obvious that not everyone can achieve their dreams. I really liked how it ended with the greatest thing each and every character got out of their experience; friendship. I actually liked the cast. I know, I know, Idols. They aren't the greatest of actors, but I really feel like they did a great job! The only two characters I really couldn't stand were JB, and HaeSung. The acting was forced, and I didn't see much chemistry, but I have to be a little nice, since it was JB's first drama, and all. The one I felt did the best was JinWoon. Already a fan of 2AM. It was great to see him act, and I loved his character the most, and I felt that out of all the Idols, he did the absolute best.The music was ok, but there was a lot more music in Dream High. This one focused more on dancing, which I didn't like. I wish they had more music, and more of them all singing together, instead of all the individual performances. I would rewatch this...maybe? It was a good drama, and I did enjoy watching it, but overall, I think that it can't compare to Dream High. I just hope if they decide to make a Dream High 3, the writers can seriously step up their game, because they almost ruined a story that seemed to be going somewhere.
It Started With a Kiss and It Started With a Kiss 2/They Kiss again are two of the most amazing dramas I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot. The story in They Kiss Again was basically the continuation of the first one. This drama was perfect the way it was, and really proved that you don't need a fancy storyline to have a great story. They Kiss Again was just about the married life of an unlikely couple, and it was truly beautiful. There were times when I absolutely hated the drama, and others where I loved it to pieces. It starts out great but after 5 or 6 episodes, the story starts to lag. The main character Xiang Qin (I know I totally messed the name up) was really annoying, and I couldn't stand her, and Zhi Shu (Again, I don't know how to spell their names) was colder and colder than he ever was, and seemed to lack personality that he sort of gained in It Started With a Kiss, but despite the lack in character development, the story was beautiful, and the actors did a fantastic job. I loved the music for the 2nd drama, it was good, and very catchy. I will most likely watch both dramas again, because they were so amazing, and explain a lot about love, and make you want to go out and get married (if you aren't already) Great drama :) that I'm sad to see end :(
WOW! All I can really say is that the storyline is amazing. The whole idea of forbidden love is a very intriguing aspect probably since it is not so common and is quite controversial. I thought that story had so much to give and teach; how love conquers all, and living your life the way you want. It seemed to me that all through the drama there were many political points. There wasn't mention of politics at all, but the way things are played out or some of the lines said take a true political turn, which I thought made Majo no Jouken even more fascinating. I did like the actors, but I didn't like them together. I didn't see any chemistry between the two leads at all, which is so frustrating since this drama deserved the best in all aspects, including the acting. The acting was great, it was just that I couldn't imagine the two leads together at all. The music was great, although it was only one song,I never got tired of the song, and still find that I want to listen to other than while watching the drama. I would definitely rewatch this drama. It was amazing, and such a sad but sweet story. Great drama, and totally worth watching. No one could finish this drama not being touched.
First off, I felt the story was an interesting one, but it wasn't too good. The only time the story got good was during the last few episodes, which I believe should have either been the whole premise of the story, or was a bit more drawn out. The writing for the drama was pretty bad. There were overly drawn out monologues, and really cheesy lines. I thought that the acting was really mediocre, which wouldn't make since for Rainie and Mike He. I didn't like either of their characters, and their acting for those characters wasn't good at all. I felt like Mike He's character was just whining all the time, and Rainie's character just seemed unstable. I love the music, which was done by Kingone, and Rainie. The theme song was super catchy, and even though I didn't like Rainie's song, I found that I was humming along to it. I wouldn't rewatch this drama, because I was sitting there waiting for it to be over. Overall, I give it a 6. It's not a drama that is a must watch, but it's not too bad. It's something that's not bad to watch if you are really bored.
The Princess Man was really slow starting, but once the initial story is covered, the plot of the story itself is amazing. The story is deep and has a lot of good moments. I loved the acting. I felt that the actors did a wonderful job showing emotion, and there is a ton of it. The only thing I didn't like about the acting is that I didn't see any real chemistry between the two leads, so it didn't really seem that they cared for or loved each other all that much. The music was beautiful and was really what set the emotion for the whole drama. I wouldn't rewatch this drama though. For some reason I found it completely difficult to get though. Usually when it takes me only a few days to finish a drama this one took me over a month. It was too slow at times and too heart breaking that I couldn't bare to watch another episode right away. I thought The Princess Man was beautiful, and the first drama I have ever cried while watching. This drama is definitely not light hearted and is a major tear jerker, but it is still good none the less.
I thought that Mei-chan no Shitsuji was a really awesome drama. The story is unexpected. It's not a story that is typically seen, especially the forbidden love angle.I only wish that there was more romance. There weren't many of those romantic, awkward moments that I usually look forward to in romantic dramas. The cast did great, and every character was able to stand out, no matter how small the role was. Mei-chan no Shitsuji really focused on the value of trust, and friendship throughout the drama, which I really admired. The writing was done well enough that the point could get across while still holding onto the story. I usually don't rewatch dramas often, but I would probably want to watch this drama again. I thought it was cute, and had a very interesting story, with great morals.
The story of Zettai Kareshi is something completely different. There aren't too many stories about a robot. I found that the plot was refreshing and not something that is typically seen, so I kept wanting to watch one episode after another to see what happens. The acting by the two male leads was great. I could really feel what their characters were feeling. But, I thought that the female lead sucked! She was a good actress, but the emotions and feelings seemed extremely forced. I don't really like only having one song for a whole drama, because it can be really annoying, but I actually liked the song. I wouldn't rewatch the drama, because I thought the end was very disappointing. Usually, in the beginning of dramas you can tell who the love interest is, but in Zettai Kareshi you really have no idea who it is until the last few episodes and by the time you've already picked your favorite, you'll be disappointed if the one you're routing for doesn't get picked.It doesn't matter who you pick in Zettai Kareshi, because the end result will still be disappointing. I still think it is a cute drama, and something worth watching if you having nothing else to do, but it's not something that will be rewatched.
I thought the final was absolutely amazing. The acting was great, of course, and the characters fit together like they did in the drama. The final could have been made into a drama itself. I really loved the storyline of the final, and am really sad that it had to end. The final has some adventure in it which makes you want to keep watching to see what happens next. The ending was the best though. Being a huge fan of Hana Yori Dango, I was so sad to see it end, but seeing the way the final ends, although it is sad, was the perfect ending to one of my favorite dramas of all times. I just wish that the plot of the final was a little bit more clear. I kind of felt that the writers tried to pack so much into the final that it should have been a drama, but I know some people might get tired of the drama continuing on. There was so much fit into the small amount of time that the ending seemed a bit too rushed, and I don't think the time needed in certain scenes was there, but besides that, the final was amazing. It has definitely become one of my favorite endings to a drama, and if you're a Hana Yori Dango fan you won't be disappointed watching the final, because it's worth it.
If you have seen the Korean version, You're Beautiful, it would almost be impossible not to compare the dramas. Both dramas have the same story, and a lot of the same quirky scenes or lines, but there is no way to say which is better, both dramas are great in their own way. I really loved Ikemen Desu Ne for the actors. The two leads who played Ren and Mio/Miko were really the whole reason to watch Ikemen Desu Ne. The chemistry between the leads was great, and you could really see them together, they fit together. Ikemen Desu Ne goes a lot faster than the Korean version, so the things that happen between the character, the action, happens immediately, so the drama is never boring. You can always expect something to happen to make the drama impossible to turn off. I've noticed that sometimes Japanese dramas can be a bit slow, but there was never a slow or dull moment in Ikemen Desu Ne. In honesty, I enjoyed the Japanese version a lot more than the Korean version. It's funny, cute, romantic, and just has a great story in general. The only thing that was not the best was the music. There was hardly any music which is a bit different from the Korean version, which had more and better music, but that's not a reason to not see Ikemen Desu Ne. It is definitely a drama to put on your "Plan To Watch" list.
