I was surprised that I liked this drama since I hate the plastic surgery theme and I would never do it myself. I first thought that this drama was supposed to make plastic surgery sound good or find excuses for it but that wasn't the case at all. Don't be mislead by it.

The acting was great, here I compliment Ayano Go and Kitano Kii especially. I also liked their characters the most.

I think this drama has a storyline for everyone. They managed to fit quite a few different characters into it, even if it is only 8 episodes long. They could have just as well made it longer, I wouldn't have minded.

I really liked the theme song, but apart from that there's not much to say.

Also, the little "interviews" with people on the streets at the end of every episode were very cute.

I'm just saying that everyone should give this a try, even though I know that it's not everyone's taste.
And you should especially watch it if you like bromance. I mean, that's what made me start it. ;) read more

This Drama managed to surprise me a lot. First of all I hated the first two episodes and considered to drop it, but thankfully because of all the good things I had heard about it I decided to fight myself through the rest.
Well, after having watched the first two episodes there wasn't much "fighting" left because I actually started to enjoy it.

The characters were so different, deep, cute, funny, emotional, complicated and sometimes annoying that I never grew bored of them. Well, sometimes I was frustrated with the main couple but it wasn't bad enough to mention.

The story was unique in a way but not something that has never been done before. I liked this take of it and I think that was mainly because of the characters rather than the story itself, since I'm not a fan of historical Dramas. Oh, actually I strongly dislike them. ;)

The acting was great. Even though Park Min Young never looked, acted or sounded like a man in my opinion - I was so frustrated with it being unrealistic for the other students to not realize she was a girl - everyone pulled their role off perfectly. I especially enjoyed Goo Yong Ha and Geol Oh.

The music was very good and fitting and most of all it wasn't always the same song playing. I enjoyed it, but I'm not going to look for the OST.

I usually don't rewatch anything, but for this one I give it a high rating because I will certainly rewatch some scenes of it. A lot.

So overall I recommend this Drama to everyone (even if the historical aspect may turn you off) and and advice you to not drop it after the first episode. It will be worth giving a try. :) read more

This is an incredible drama. I have loved it from the first episode up until the very last second. It was simply beautiful, perfectly narrated and overall had a really special feeling.

I loved how all the characters had their own screen time, everyone was important and there were absolutely no stereotypes.
The acting was amazing, everything seemed real and honest. The actors were perfectly chosen.

The story was unique and well written. The character and story development had the right pace, even though I was sometimes frustrated with the characters - Looking back at it, everything else wouldn't have fit.

Finally, the ending was the only fitting end they could have given this drama. I didn't expect it (this drama managed to surprise me until the last episode, I couldn't foresee anything!) and I loved it.

Definitely recommending this, watch it. It deserves the good ratings and reviews. read more

I wanted to rate this a 9, but I rated it 8 after thinking about it. I hated the special effects, many things looked really fake and sometimes the acting was a little awkward. But it still deserves an 8 in my opinion.

The overall idea and the story were lovely and unique. The music reminded me so much of Halloween and I love Halloween, I especially love the intro song. It's so cute.

The characters were interesting and I felt with them. My favorite was Belo, he's incredibly adorable. I liked Bela and the supporting characters, too, but sometimes I got a little frustrated with Bem being his awkward and shy self and not having much character development.. Bela won in that one, she made a huge transformation.

Getting back to the special effects which I didn't like and I was looking away when they transformed because I found it a little embarrassing and cheesy, but those things only made up about 5 % of the drama and I loved the rest of it.

Just give it a try, though I admit it may not be everyone's taste. :) read more

As a big fan of IWGP and after searching for this Special for months my expectations were really high, even though I only heard bad things about it. My overall facit after watching it: It's not as bad as they say, but it's not good either.
Still I enjoyed seeing the IWGP characters again so much that I rated it a lot better than it deserved.
The acting was okay, similar to the drama. The music was actually the same as in the drama which made it a little nostalgic. I think it was perfect. Apart from the background music this special had at least two scenes were they should've shortened the songs a lot. Those were concerts.
The story itself was move like a drama episode than a movie. Nothing special to be honest, but it had funny moments and less awkward and embarrassing scenes than the drama - Well, it was only a tenth of the length, though. ;)
I was really disappointed how less screentime the supporting characters had. Especially those I loved so much during the drama. Especially Takashi.
I loved some of the new characters, though. They were cute. It was also interesting to see how other characters developed during the 3 years.
Overall I think this is worth a watch if you're a fan of the drama. If you didn't enjoy the drama you shouldn't watch this, it's the same. :) read more

Sunao ni Narenakute

First of all, the general idea of this drama is great. That's what made me watch it even though people had mainly bad things to say about it.
It started out really good, too. I liked the main characters, the interaction between them was cute, the fast growing friendship between all five of them was beautiful and there were lots of intense and nice scenes.
Then it got worse. Suddenly there was one tragedy after the other, everyone needed more and more pain, love triangles and it mushed into a great mess.
I don't know how, but they made it work somehow. Of course I was irritated sometimes and it does fit the word "melodrama", but I didn't hate it. There was always someone or something that kept me watching and that I liked about that huge mess.
In the end it got better again. I thought some topics weren't handled properly, but overall I was rather enjoying it again. I loved the ending, it was the only appropriate ending to give to this drama.

The acting was good. It wasn't perfect, but they seemed honest and believable. I felt with the characters (okay, after a while it got harder within all the tragedies) and they managed to pull their characters off.

The music was perfect, I simply loved it. It's a mixture of American and Japanese music, fitting the modern style of the story and the Twitter-theme. The songs were great.

This doesn't have anything to do with the drama itself, but the mirrors I watched also had a great quality and the subs were perfect. So it was a pleasure to watch this and I recommend everyone to try it, even though I do understand that it's not everyone's taste - And if it wasn't for the ending, I wouldn't have rated it this high either.
Just give it a try! read more

There's just one word for this drama: Awesome.
I really didn't want to watch it because the summary sounded boring and the picture wasn't that great, either - But I'm so glad I did!
Everything about this was perfect. You will know after having watched the first episode. Each of the episodes could just as well be a movie, they are amazing.
The acting was incredible, especially the dogs'. Anyway, the dogs were the stars of this drama. I have no idea how they got them to act like they did, but it was amazing. Okay, sometimes it was a little too human to be realistic, but to be honest that's what people want to see..
The scenery looked real, too. It was very interesting to see everything happening without all the new technology.
The music was as dramatic as the drama itself, the opening and ending song was wonderful and fitting.
I think I never cried as much because of a drama as I did while I watched this one. Not even 1 Litre of Tears.
Even if you don't want to, at least watch the first episode! It will change your mind. read more

This was a nice and sad movie. Until I was about halfway through I wondered what the point of the story was, but after that it became really really good.
The characters were great, had their own stories and their chemistry was good.
The acting was really good, too and felt very real. The scenery and costumes didn't look fake, either.
The music was fitting, traditional and dramatic. Ichi's singing was wonderful.
I recommend you to watch this. :)

This was a great drama. I really only watched it because of Jung Il Woo and he stayed my favorite character all through it (which usually doesn't happen), but I liked the rest of it just as much - Otherwise I wouldn't have watched 20 hours of it. In two days.

The story itself wasn't new and most of the characters were a little stereotypical, too, but somehow it was still different.

I liked how people were somehow related to eachother through tiny memories they couldn't even remember, things nobody thinks about after so many years. I loved how the world was turned upside down for a character and the story followed a clear path, a clear timeline and had a steady pace. It hardly ever dragged, but it never rushed either.

The acting was incredible. All the actors did a great job, but of course Lee Yo Won needs to be mentioned seperately - She played 3 roles in this with about 335345 personalities and so many emotional and blank scenes that I was completely amazed by her. She seemed completely in character, no matter which one she played.

The music was wonderful, too. I actually noticed it and really enjoyed it. From Ji Hyun's singing to her parents' CD to the Scheduler's ringtones - Everything just fit perfectly.

Though many people seemed to hate it I thought the ending was perfect and the only fitting one. Everything else would've been unrealistic (I know. This is fantasy.) and maybe perfect at the first sight, but I wouldn't have been satisfied afterwards. I loved it as it was, except one little storyline. But that wasn't important and I cried a lot.

Enough praising, just watch it. :P

This movie was so short that it's hard to say much about it, but I want it to have a review.
So basically I loved everything about it - The story, the characters, the acting, the ending.
The only thing that annoyed me a little were Shinya's hair and really, that wasn't tragic. ;)
I loved how it switched between friendship and love and how important the relationships between the characters were. I loved Shinya's narrating, too (he does have a great voice) and the overall dreamy feeling this movie had.
I'm surprised it's not popular. Go watch it.
