It's important to mention I haven't the read the manga, so I don't have anything to compare this to. As purely a light and fluffy high school rom com, it's good. It's under two hours as well, so it has a decent flow and doesn't really have any boring dips. There's a lot of really great randomness in it as well, which are probably taken from the manga, but I can't confirm that. The level of quirkiness is awesome, such as a class room with a hare statue… long dividing curtains in the school and a main character which doesn't hesitate to plow through people and knock them over.

The movie isn't genius, but it's a great weekend movie to lift your mood and give you a dose of innocent young love.

Maybe it's cruel of me, but I wish everyone would watch this. It's so moving and excruciatingly sad with a lasting impression. It really illustrates the beauty of family, friendship and love.

Alright, so it's not the best but it's short so it's an easy watch. It felt a bit like a soap opera, exaggerated and unrealistic. I think part of this was due to the fact that it's not very long so they had to get right to the point. I did really enjoy the cast. The story is pretty interesting and the brother dynamic is good. I think you could take this mini series and stretch it out (fill in some of the gaps, start the drama with a bit more back story) and it could be really good.

Ok, so the tone of the drama shifts. It starts out light-hearted and fun and somehow turns into a bit of ridiculous, chaotic melodrama but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. Even though the story seemed exaggerated and messy, the couple was super cute and I really enjoy them from the beginning until the end of the drama. If you are a Lee Dong Wook fan, I think it's definitely worth watching. I also really enjoyed Lee Si-Young. She is a great actress. Her tomboyish role was really fun.

This drama was quite fun. If you want to watch a classic kdrama, this would be a good one to watch. Lee Da Hae is quite humorous and her and Lee Dong Wook performed very well together. Because it's a bit of an older drama, it did come across cheesy at times, but that's also part of its charm. It has many steriotypical drama cliches and some of the "villainous" type characters can be very infuriating, but that's to be expected and is nothing new with in comes to romcoms. The sweet romantic moments would melt away the frustrating moments. Lee Joon-gi was the perfect male second lead. His scenes with LDW and their relationship was quite good.

At the time of the dramas release, I knew it was popular but I didn't bother thinking it was probably over hyped. Well, there's a legit reason this drama was so popular.

Historical dramas can be long and drag, but the fantasy element in this drama is the essential glue that makes this drama so capturing and addictive. The romance is the essence that doesn't allow you to turn away and the actors steal the show.

Suzy and Lee Seung Gi are the absolute cutest and perfect pairing in this drama.

The drama is filled with action, fantasy, comedy, emotional turmoil, melodrama, romance, character development and heart.

It's really well done and it definitely managed to hit an emotional chord with me.

I think it's one of those dramas worth watching as a drama fan if you haven't seen it already, especially if you are a big fan of romance.

Really cute drama. It made me smile and laugh a lot. The story was very frustrating at times and I did feel from time to time that the story was unravelling, but the it was still very good. I liked the role reversal - He was the nice one and she was the one with the stone exterior.

It's nice and short, so they really isn't a reason not too watch it. The story is mysterious and interesting. They succeeded in telling a story in such a short period of time. This would make a good full 16 episode drama or a two hour movie.
