Yes yes yes!!!

We need more dramas like W in the Kdrama world. W – Two Worlds does things in a refreshing way while still including the traditional things we love about kdramas. The best part of this drama has to be the writing and this serves as the foundation.

STORY - Very unique concept along with great execution. Don't even bother trying to guess the ending because there are so many twist and turns. The story is actually believable even though the subject matter is supernatural. I loved how the story actually felt like I was reading a manga. Very captivating and I was on the edge of my seat a lot of the times.

CASTS - Great great cast. Everything Han Hyo Joo touches is gold. I find her acting to be believable and very natural, not too over the top. I am a fan of Lee Jong Suk and I thought he played his character well too but I kinda felt like his expressions were a little limited. He had three main expressions through the drama really but I'm still a fan.

MUSIC: - There was one or two songs that were really catchy but nothing too memorable or that will stick with you. Average music overall

REWATCH VALUE: Definitely would rewatch again!!!

HATE: The story did get a little complex at times and hard to keep up with the ever changing plot but that's totally subjective and I'm being picky.

LOVE: Heo Jeong Do or Yeon Joo's boss!! Haha- I totally didn't expect to like him but I thought he was hilarious and brought a much needed lighter/ comedic side to balance this heavy drama.


W- Two Worlds is definitely one of the best dramas I've watch. Believe the hype!

Wow wow wow what a great drama!! Definitely a simple story done in a unique way.,The writer really shines for the unique, creative aspects of each character. I think this drama will hold a special place in my heart haha. The writer has a way of creating a different atmosphere or mood different from other dramas., It’s a great quality of a class story teller. I loved that the story was character driven and the depths of each person was explored in a very distinct way. Everyone from the quirky landlady to the crazy boyfriend offered something different and exciting.
Although the whole cast did a great job, for me the one who was the MVP has to be Song ji won. I laughed out loud countless times thanks to her character and her antics. She is very relatable or we all have someone we know who can relate to her. This is a must watch drama if you enjoy slice of life dramas! P.S. It also has an amazing OST.

This movie is a story of two singers caught in a love triangle.
Han Hyo-joo and Chun Woo-hee sing pretty well and they make it easy for someone who is new to this music to understand.

While not perfect, Love, Lies does a good job of showing the culture in Korean history at the time is this story is not often seen in America. The topic is very unique although I though the love triangle was a bit distracting to the great setting the movie had.

The acting was great with romance and truly pleasing visuals make it a nice to watch.

Let's Fight Ghost (aka Bring It On Ghost) is a fun drama with the creative addition of ghost. I'll start my review with the positives. First of all I both Taec-yeon and Kim So-hyun have great chemistry together. Although there was an age difference between the two, it's not really noticeable. I also loved the special effects. All the ghost looked realistic and I was legit spooked at some moments. Another unexpected strength of this drama is the comedy! The side cast really delivers some funny moments.
Now what I didn't like about this drama was the story line. While the concept initially hooked me in at first, I thought the drama could have been a lot better story wise. The drama started to drag towards the middle and it eventually became focused more on romance. The end of the story kind of felt flat to me as well.
Overall though it was an enjoyable and average drama to watch. It won't go down as a "great great" drama but it's worth the watch if you're a fan of Taec-yeon and Kim So-hyun.

I love the guitar-based music and songs in this drama along with the themes of love and friendship film. This movie has the ability to produces nostalgic memories of the past even when we were never there to experience it. It has a bittersweet vibe to it. There’s also a sense of eternal love when with a lead man does everything stupid he can all for his first love. This movie has enough humor and wit and simple narration. I liked the cheerful vibe of the movie all throughout mixed with the sad gut wrenching moments as well.
Overall I would recommend skipping this movie unless you're a fan of this type of music or a fan of the cast members.

This is another film that will leave you with a somewhat bittersweet and empty feeling.
The film deals with some a lot of though and sad situations. The main characters struggles stems from her family situation. Everyone in her family is facing there own demons and we get to see Han Hyo Joo try her best to face these problems. This movie is a coming of age story, with a side dose of romance on the side. Han Hyo Joo doesa great job of playing this character who is confused and distressed. Everything in the drama is believably, but I just wish the plot was a little stronger towards the end!

I though this was a cute little romantic comedy. Because it's only 30 minutes you really get a condensed look through the main characters eyes. This movie does a good job of showing the guys perspective of hopelessly wanting to find love while also being socially awkward. Park Shin Hye is only in this movie for a few minutes but when she does appear is when the movie gets really exciting. I haven't watch the movies that were a part of this series and still understand everything fine. The movie also has great cinematography!! The outdoor scenes were amazing. This was a good quick watch!

I though this film was just average to me for the most part. I loved the nostalgic feel it gives off and the idea of experiencing a first love for the first time again though. Both Seo Yeon and Seung Min get a second chance to go back and take a chance with no regrets which helps them both finally put that disappointment of missing out on each other behind them.

This it allows them to move on with their lives. Closure is a powerful feeling and I think both characters will be better off having finally put to rest that chapter of their lives.
The idea of first love is often romanticized to the point where you question your memories. There’s often you filter out the bad memories and only remember the good.

This movie shows that life isn't a romantic fairy tale story, where the guy finally gets the girl. It’s a sad but important message to portray. Overall though I felt the movie was slow in its pacing. There was real captivating moments and it just didn’t generate enough sparks of emotions for me. I appreciated the ideas and vibe of the film which has a good concept, but wished the movie could have been more captivating

This movie won’t blow you away but it’s a good one time watch if you like Han Hyo Jo This 2 hour movie cannot have the same depth of character that a sixteen hour drama can develop.
The scenes are selected and character development can only go so far. With that being said Love 911 was an okay film.
I could see the actors worked well together and although they didn’t really captivate me. The story was okay. It was not riveting or inventive.
The most interesting part of the of the story was seeing the imperfectness of the two lead characters and seeing them overcome those aspects and growing together.

Be aware that this is a pretty sad drama so if you're looking for something light and fun then look elsewhere!! With that warning out of the way, let's go through the pros and cons. Things I loved about this drama are Kim Woo Bin and his acting. He really pulls off this sort of character which is not an easy task.
The drama also has excellent cinematography. I loved the colors of the scenes along with the pretty locations and other great visual elements. The drama also had an excellent soundtrack that made everything so much more beautiful. Some cons of the drama include being too cliche, being too miserable and the story line drags out quite a bit in the middle. All in all I enjoyed the story. The writing could have been better but the ending was satisfactory and pays off the audience for watching until the end.

I loved this movie. Although I will be the first to admit there are a lot of flaws, everything is forgiven because of the emotions and essence I felt from this movie. This is a movie with a unique concept that was beautifully shot. Just lower your expectations, give in to your imagination and enjoy this beautiful film. I love the bitter sweet emotions from the characters along with the lessons of love, death and forgiveness.

This was my first ever Korean movie so it has a special place in my heart. This movie can be considered your "typical" Korean romance movie but I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Is story is a little cliche? Yes but it's done a very tolerable way. This movie does everything well and there's not a lot to hate about it. The acting is good, the actors are big names and they bring good performances. I really consider this is classic and being under 2 hours it's definitely a good watch!
