10 EARTH SHATTERING STARS!

Now, if you've EVER read a review I've written, You would know that Kim Soo Hyun can literally do no wrong when it comes to dramas. Jeon Ji Hyun is also another actress I really respect. With the two of them together, I already knew I was going to love this drama. (& I was right!)

The story is indefinitely original. Sure, there are the /typical/ melodrama aspects of it, but as for the story in it's entirety, this one takes the cake. The writing was on point, and the suspense was seriously killing by the end of each episode. I marathoned this in a total of what, 3 days? I just could. not. get. enough!
The 'love-triangle' was laughable, but enjoyable as well. The supporting cast was just as adorable. Yoo In Na makes a good baddie, and I was STILL rooting for her!

The soundtrack is, amazing to say the least. They did an excellent job selecting the songs and it really fit the mood the drama had going for it.

All in all, I'd watch this drama a million times if I could. I'm almost ready to go back and it watch it again, right now, but I'll hold back. Watch this drama. You will love it. Trust me!

There was not a thing to dislike about this movie! It was HILARIOUS. There were serious parts thrown in, but regardless.. overall a MUST WATCH. Both parties had something to gain from faking their marriage - It isn't really one of those contract marriages we see a lot in Kdrama land, but instead something beneficial for both parties - Seo-young & Hyo-Jin Can adopt a baby, and Minsoo can hide being gay from his parents. The moral of the story hits home - BE WHO YOU ARE. The awkward scenes MADE this movie. I didn't really recognize the actors/actresses, but BOY OH BOY were they good. This movie was a hoot. Had me laughing until tears came out, and crying until nothing was left. Definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen - Plus, one of the best examples that melodrama & comedy CAN go hand in hand!

We all know the all too popular phrase, "The book is so much better than the movie!" but I'd have to say in the case of this, the movie & comic sort of go hand in hand.There are differences between the two but the main storyline stays the same, and it wasn't unbearable to watch - it was actually fun! I enjoyed this movie from start to finish, which usually doesn't happen for Manga turned Movie for me. The actors/actresses did a great job at conveying their characters and they were dead on choosing who they did for the roles. I loved this movie - It gives a wonderful 'life' lesson about chasing your dreams while still being realistic.

I liked everything about this movie - It was gave us a refreshing storyline with a little bit of everything thrown into it, and did it in a timely manner. It was such a sweet story. There were some heart wrenching parts but the good out weighed the bad. It's perfectly paced and for ONCE I didn't feel that anything was rushed. The main female is an excellent actress, and I literally had to Google if she was blind in real life or not; She's really convincing. The couple, They're too cute for words. It was an awesome story packed full of heart, that left me satisfied with everything until the very end.

It is with deep regret that I write this review. The Hong Sister's are awesome at dramas, and when I found out about Big I could barely contain myself. The cast set up was fantastic - The chemistry between Gong Yoo & Lee Min Jung is too hot for words. The supporting cast was just as enticing. The acting was on point and that's not what I have an issue with. The problem is the sloppy writing here. The story started off great, I couldn't get enough of it. Then I was left dumbfounded, confused and excuse me, pissed off. It was too rushed. We didn't get any answers, we were left hanging. By the end, I was forcing myself to sit there. To the very last moment, I was looking for something to happen that could make up for all the flaws this drama had. Left, let down. I'd recommend something that shows just how awesome the Hong Sister's are: Greatest Love, You're Beautiful, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, among others. Skip.

Drama, you have made a mess of my life for the past week. You've made a Yoo In Na & Ji Hyun Woo fan out of me. The story was awesome. Although the time-skipping part has became cliche' over the first half of 2012, you're the first drama to pull it off amazingly. I was captivated from start to finish, the plot was pulling my heart in every way possible and I loved every second of it. It's the type of drama that makes you care & worry endlessly for the sake of the characters. The chemistry between the cast was outstanding. (Hell, Yoo In Na & Ji Hyun Woo had so much chemistry, they're dating now!) I guess the director knew what he was doing casting them as the lead. They're all so adorable & you can't help but even love the baddies. The music was extremely awesome as well. One of the first drama OSTs I actually sat through and listened to, especially if you know Korean/Look up the translation to the songs, they're all so meaningful and tie in perfectly with the drama itself. I'd watch this drama over a million times if I could, there wasn't one part that didn't have my full attention. One of the best I've seen this year, and now one of my newly favorites.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical when I first started watching this drama. It was hilarious, fun, romantic and it was all too good to be true. I figured that like most dramas, it'd all have to come to an end and get serious and drag us so far away from the way we felt in the beginning it'd be like watching a different drama all together. I was wrong. There is nothing wrong with this drama; except that it could've lasted longer - you know, like forever. The chemistry in this drama is just too good to be true, and I honestly want to see Yoochun & Ji Min together in another drama. It'd be perfect


The cast, in every aspect was unforgettable. I felt so much for our secondary characters; The heart break and the good times. I even thought I felt a little bit for the evil duo. They're all EXCELLENT at what they do and sold us the story. Perfectly. Oh & the soundtrack is one of the best of the year, been on repeat all week tbqh. Good going drama, now I'm going to hold every drama this year up to your standards.

The best drama I've seen since King of Baking. This drama has heart, and a lot of it. It hits home in a way that a lot of drama's can't even try to. It's about friendships being tested by things that are inevitably going to happen in any friendship - but on a whole different level. Almost instantly do you make room in your heart for the cast - - their all so different yet there's one thing that brings them close together: Their need to belong. Their need to succeed. Their need to just find out who they want to be, while they all seek their common goal: playing music for fun, with each other - forever. It's all about finding yourself and not giving up - your goals or your friendship - to get to that one place that you all feel is 'where you belong'.
The cast was absolutely beautiful. The characters were all portrayed well and the best thing was it wasn't just believable, but it actually felt real. I've laughed with these characters, cried with these characters, and even got pissed with these characters. It's an instant connection - Honestly I haven't met/talked to ONE person who isn't head over heels in love with this drama. What the actual heck are you doing with your life if you haven't watched this drama yet?

Only reason I decided to watch this was for the killer cast - it was well worth it too. Mr. Idol is all about chasing your dreams, even when it seems like you're done and out - Pick yourself up and carry on. It does a good job at portraying the difficult journey that it is to chase your dreams, especially being an 'Idol'. I fell in love with the cast at first glance - of course, there isn't really too much depth into their characteristics, but they are definitely lovable from the get go. The story was amazing and what made it amazing is that is was REAL. Literally had me tearing up at some parts. :) We all know that nothing ever gets handed to us and we've gotta work for something. I'd literally sit and watch this movie a thousand times over - Definitely an awesome movie.

This. Is. So. Cheesey. I won't deny that, but let me give you some background as to why that's COMPLETELY acceptable here. If you've read the manga, you know how the main character acts, so going hand in hand with that - The lead actress was supposed to act that way. I found it a little dramatized at times, and it's a bit cliche' but that's all my opinion. It was a very sweet & quick romance movie; I loved it. One of the best live actions I've seen in a while! Plus, could they have done a better job at matching the way the two leads look - Yoh and Haruna - to how I imagined them looking? Definitely worth the watch :)

I gave this a nine not because of the story, not because of the acting, but because I felt that something was missing. This drama gets to the point where it City Hunter Badass then just takes it down a notch, imo. I loved everything about this drama - the actors & actresses were flawless and completely awesome at portraying their emotions, and let's not forget Kim SooHyun and Il Jung Woo. Soo Hyun does such a great job in this drama and I can't look at him and connect him to Dream High anymore. It gets pretty tragic, but in the end it seems like everything pays off. I was cuddled up in my bed sobbing about this drama being over. What am I going to do now? If you don't watch this, you are SERIOUSLY missing out.

This drama. THIS drama. Honestly speaking, I only started watching it for Han Ji Min, but ever since the second episode, I have been so emotionally invested in this drama that it's ridiculous. I was really thinking that I was going to get let down, but I didn't. This drama is a lot more about fighting your way through life and never giving up. It's broken my heart and put it right back together again. It almost makes me wish I had lived a life like our main character had, so I could appreciate all the small things in life as he does. It's made me change the way I look at things, and it's so well developed and perfectly paced that it's, for lack of a better way to say it, perfection. The chemistry is unbelievable. I'd watch this drama a million times over if I could.
