Gyahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Gyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
I don't know what to say! But i am gonna miss this drama! So much!! When i watched this, i feel happy, it seems that life is full of hope and dreams, i feel that the world is such a happy place. I cannot stop smiling and feeling so much love from this drama.

Kim Bok Joo and Joon Hyung is the first couple that i ship so much and i mean it. Their r/s is the strongest one. They don't have bullshit going on and can resolve their problems together. They are the cutest, sweetest couple i have ever seen. Period.

Weightlifting kim bok joo, not only that it has different plot than other k-dramas, but all the characters here are well written and well liked. They have growth in this dramas, i don't hate anyone here and i don't feel annoyed at all watching this coz i understand each different characters in this drama well.

The story is simple yet very engaging, it revolves around their teachers, their friends, their family's problems, their dreams, their passion, their studies, their struggles, believe me, you won't be bored watching this. It is a proof that a well written drama does not need an A-List and super famous actors to make people love it. A well written drama will outshine in the long run when people start to realize and watch it from ep 1.

Yang Hee-Seung writer nim, i adore you, i will definitely watch your next drama.


Highly recommended.

At first i was confused, but then i understand. It's a movie about a real life of ex president of South Korea, Roh Moo-Hyun. I hope the ending will leave more explanations, and i hope that it has more episodes to explain his life. Anyway, i read his biography and I understand more, what an astounding man. He is definitely one of a kind. He rise to be a president when he only came from a humble beginning as a son of poor farmer and a high school dropped out.

He fight against violation of human right and after some time, he become president of Korea. (He was also the first president who visit North Korea for peace.) Anyway, as a context of this movie, I understand it's very hard to fight against country's dictatorship, when u are an idealist, and fight for common people, many powerful figures will go against you.

This is such a real story on what happened in our world, not only in south korea, but in other countries as well, those with power and money can do anything they like. It's such a rare thing to have someone like this main lead who has a heart to help innocent people. Although u cannot always win, but it's worth to fight for... argh very sad, anyway it's a recommended one.

I gave it 9.5 only because 2 hours do not seem enough to explain how awesome his character is. he should have been given a trilogy. After i know and read this Ro Moo-Hyun's life, i sincerely respect him. It's a true story that's why i like it most!! I always love a true story :,)

I don't know, i really like this drama. It might not have such an unique theme like other dramas but they are so cute together despite the age gap, gosh!!

What i like about this drama:
1. It has a very kind hearted male lead, OMG, i think this is the best male lead character in k-drama!!!
He is so sweet and he loves to help others, not only to his woman but to everyone.
I always adore this kind of character even in real life!! He is also very matured that's why he can get along with a 39 years old woman :D
2. There is no evil villain who tries to kill main leads
3. Very light romantic comedy very fun to watch
4. So many sweet stuff between the main leads
5. Damn funny especially in the beginning of this dramas
6. I like strong successful female lead with a killer personality like ji yeon
7. OMG park seo joon is damn sexy and hot here
8. Their chemistry is all over the place!! I don't find their age gap is weird because their chemistry is so strong and everything seems natural to watch.
9. Hot sizzling kiss between main leads, i never really like kiss in kdramas because it seems awkward and forced but their make out scene is damn hot, natural yet funny
10. There are many lessons to learn from this drama because it's quite relatable

What i don't like:
Almost nothing that i don't like, maybe if i want to be nit picky, perhaps the middle of the episodes when the photojournalist return, it's a bit draggy, i'm also a bit sad coz there are so little funny moments, but i do understand her decision coz i also have a friend who took back her ex despite of so much chemistry between her and her current bf, coz in r/s we need to think about logic and reality not only heart, but anyway the r/s with her ex is not working out well for her since it has become as dry as salted fish and my friend learns her lesson well, in my friend's case, she lost the current bf already, and she cannot have the same feel with her ex thus she broke up with him. Too bad coz i never seen her happier with guys other than her current bf that time, i also dun understand why she choose her ex back, i guess r/s is complicated. She wants to get married soon coz her ex already proposed her and wanted to get married.

In this show, dong ha still wait for her, it's so sweet, i don't know whether in real life there is a guy like that though. I think it's too good to be true hahaha.

All in all, i like this show.

It's an old drama, but the plot is great. I understand the plot better than cruel city. Truthfully I think this is the best drama about police and spy. This is a masterpiece. The acting is flawless, as usual delivered by Lee Joon GI and Jung Kyung-Ho. All of actors who act in this are amazing and really believable, i am not someone who rate everything high and perfect, but this show really can make me feel everything..

I always want to watch this drama since like forever but i am busy with life, i don't have time.. Even though Lee Joon Gi is in it, and i also thought it's an ancient drama, probably the directing, budget, editing, special effect etc are not good enough to entertain me.. Then i watched healer, city hunter and cruel city, when i know dr. son in cruel city also played TBDAW, i was like, ok this is the time for me to watch both my favorite actors, Lee Joon Gi and Kyung Ho.. When can i have the chance to watch them both?? hahaha And IT BLEW MY MIND!!! Forget about the fashion, style, haircut, editing, low budget, directing etc when the writer and actors are damn good, everything else is nothing and no problem at all!

Now i know where healer, cityhunter, K2 and cruel city take inspiration from, probably from this show since it's an old show.. and maybe also from internal affair movies hahaha... After i watched this, everything else included city hunter becomes so pale in comparison..

The twist in TBDAW is so good and it's not messy. It's logical and rational too, the cause and the problems all real, i haven't watched all lee joon gi's drama and movies but i guess, this is his best drama so far that i have watched. He is also very handsome in this drama, he was still young :D the action is good, i mean all the fighting moves from him are real and natural. Even my husband said that Joon Gi action style is much much better than Ji Chang Wook action scene in healer, he said that ji Chang Wook is too stiff for action scene, of course Lee Joon Gi is better in action coz he is a taekwondo black belt himself, so his moves are just natural and flexible.. He also never has a double to do stunts for him, I know that i am so biased towards him, but he really makes the lead character real.. Imagine how difficult it is to do action scene.. he is an energizer bunny

I need to mention the acting again, it's so god damn good!!!! Joon Gi and Kyung Ho and even the villain, gosh! I hope more kdramas like this, really follow logical plot like this, it's well written. I cannot hate the villain in this drama coz it's only the matter of perspective. His 50 shades of grey is really interesting, i hope this serial have more episodes to talk about the villain character..

Music is quite old since it's an old show anyway.. So it's kinda outdated and weird hahaha but again, it did not distract me while watching it coz i was too focused on the story..

The ending is also good and satisfying for me, there is no tragedy.

Overall, i marathon this for 2 day since today is holiday for me.. I totally have forgotten the time while watching this, suddenly i have watched so many episodes hahaha

Definitely a must watch!

I am feeling drowsy right now.. u know why??
BECAUSE I MARATHON THIS SHOW FOR 3 DAYS!!!!
I think this is the most intense k-drama that i have ever seen that keep me on the edge of my seat.
The cliff-hanger is killing me, i need to stop watching in the middle of the episode in order to rest, if not i would continue watching it..

This is such an under-rated drama compare to other over-hyped dramas, but the quality is better than some other dramas. The story is so dark and very twisted, you don't even know who is the bad guy and the good guy anymore, the line becomes blur in reality in drug cartel's world. It comes to the point that if we have the same interest and purpose we become allies, even though we are actually enemies.. and so on.. something like that. But somehow i don't understand and cannot follow up with the story and i am left with some questions.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Sometimes I will get lost in thoughts and I cannot catch up with so many Information that jammed into my brain. I need to repeat scenes to understand the story better. It's unexpected but i give a 8.5 for the story because some of information becomes repetitive with so many undercover agents revealed. Don't understand why the director assigned so many undercover agents, and they chased each other while doing the drug business? It becomes odd and confusing. The twist is also too much i think, so it makes me confused, but the intensity is real.

I pity shi hyun, really pity his life, but he is such a strong character... and i instantly admire his character in cruel city.. It's hard to not sympathized with him and his gang.

I need to warn you that this is not a romance drama, there is no romance at all, maybe only 1% romance of all 20 episodes..

Actor especially jung kyung-ho is very brilliant, his acting is flawless like i really can truly feel how he feels.. His pain, his struggle hmmm.. the rest of the cast are also wonderful.. I like all female characters in this show, they are strong. They are not cry-baby female who needs people to defend them. I put 8 for re-watch coz i think i need to watch it again in order to understand it better. Hmm coz after i finished watching this drama, i feel blank and i kind of forget about this drama although when i watched it i cannot stop... It seems that this drama failed to left a mark in my heart hahaha.

Music is dark, intense and can build up tense and suspense.

The ending is good, as expected, but after credit?? What does it mean? I don't understand it at all. That is the only issue i have, the ending.. i mean why after credit i see doc's son standing and calling someone...hmmph... It's only 2 seconds and there is no explanation, i hate it, it could be a 10 haha. I really hope that if he died then he died clearly.. if he lives, there is a scene where he is really alive...

Anyway, recommended drama to watch if u like thriller, dark drama...

I was bored and wanted to find something short and light in between heavy duty & time consuming k-drama. So i watched Splash Splash Love. At first i did not put attention to this show coz the tittle is kinda irk me, i thought it's a cheesy teenage romance drama, But since it's short, it's kim seul gi from ohmyghost and the rating is quite high, i gave it a try.

Eh actually i was so hooked from the first episode. It's so much fun!! The r/s between the king and the gosam is so funny. I really like kim seu gil, she really can pull it off. The story is refreshing, it is also well written, the ending is so unexpectedly beautiful and unpredictable! Definitely different from other k-dramas. I love this show.

I hope more k-dramas like this, do not have so many episodes and filler in between, just film necessary scenes that are related to the story without milking the successful drama too much and keep it short.

Do not hesitate to watch this drama, highly recommended.

This is the second show that i watched with lee min ho as a lead which makes me kind of appreciate him. The first one was the heir and it was a crap.

Anyway, This city hunter show could be done better.. of course i know it was made 5 years ago.. so i understand it.

I really like kim na na, she is such a strong woman, she doesn't get sad and soapy even though she gets that kind of crappy treatment from Yoon Sung.I really really like her, she is one of the best female characters that i have seen in K-drama.

As much as I love Yoon Sung, but towards the middle of the drama, he is just not that cool anymore. He hurts Na Na and he is inconsistent. He seems to want nana but he keeps asking nana to forget him WTF. Sometimes he verbally abuse nana too. At first it was fun since he likes to tease nana, but in the middle of the show, he tried to control nana's feeling and told her what to do and i don't like that. If the writer didn't write yoon sung's character like that, this show is a 9 for me.. I think it's outdated u know to write that kind of man, a man who loves to hurt his woman and never really consider his woman's feeling, i understand he does not want nana to be involved in his situation but i think it shld not been done in that kind of way.

I really hope the writer to make nana as a source of strength for yoon sung and they team up to face their problems... and not wasting time for that unnecessary soapy scenes about the abuse, the changing mind that want and don't want the girlfriend, keep repeating that kind of soapy love drama, talking to forget him blah blah, it was boring at that part and i skip all those boring scenes haha.

The prosecutor is also weird to be everywhere and want to know everything, what??? He is kind of slow too, he is like keep telling everybody about what's in his mind, he is not clever at all, he ruined most of the plans bcoz of his big mouth and he does not seem to appreciate city hunter's work.

Ok, most of the plot is fine, I would give a 9 or 9.5 if those that i mentioned above are not there. It's unexpected towards the ending too.
The first few episodes was so addictive, i binge watching it until about episode 13-14 then i get bored after that, in eps 16, i really cannot continue so i skipped it then I watch the last episode.. hahaha so yeah, the last 2 episodes are unpredictable.. shocking and good..

As for the acting, lee min ho's acting is good, park min young acting is also good :)

If i need to compare this with healer, i choose healer head over heels.. Healer's character is daebak, i like the lead male's character and also like the second lead male character hahaha

Ok, this is the first drama that i watch when it was still airing..

STORY
It is based on Bu Bu Jing Xin novel from China, so i cannot criticize it for it's weakness.
However, I still think that this show should have more episodes coz the few last episodes seem to be fast forwarded, everything happened so fast and somehow i don't understand why certain people did certain things? There are too many characters that have not been developed well enough, so I don't really have attachment with the characters here except maybe 4th Prince character lol.

As for Hae Soo character, I really dislike her character so much. I know the author of that novel created her that way, ok, ok, but i really don't like her. She is weak and too naive. Somehow her sense of justice is twisted too, i don't understand her action.. Or maybe since this show does not have many episodes, i still don't understand hae soo's character.. I don't know. I don't see what's the reason many princes fall for her. She is quite pitiful though, to be trapped between palace politics.

I like the politic but the politic is not deep enough, too focus on romance and romance as the reason for them to act. Certain part/scene seem to be forced just like that without any reasons to back up. Certain action is also questionable and without explanation why they do it. I still left with questions even though the drama has ended..

ACTING
Acting is good, especially for Lee Joon Gi and Kang Ha Neul. IU is also not bad, could be better.
Lee Jon Gi can act perfectly, he can show 4th prince character so well without being disrespectful.

MUSIC
Music is good from the beginning although some musics are too modern for this era.. So it's a bit out of place while listening it during the scene...hahahaha so weird, but if the songs are listened by itself, without the movie, they are catchy..

Re-watch
I don't really re-watch anything

OVERALL
My feeling while watching it just like a roller-coaster, sometimes annoyed, sad, angry, happy, disgusted etc.The ending is satisfying for me, coz i believe hae soo need to get a lesson for her poor actions, but i think she does not even realize what her mistakes. I don't really like the Chinese novel original story, But this show really bring Lee Joon Gi for more fame and I don't mind since he is such a talented actor..

I admit that this drama is great, they put everything in details, like the scenery, the costums, make up, the palace, really beautiful, but i really disike lead female character so it may harm my review..
I still recommend u to watch this drama, if u want something unpredictable u should watch this.




****SPOILERSSSSS!!!**************************************************************************************

When I said certain things seem to be forced without any reason, that Eun's death, oh come on, it's Yo who Killed him and why Eun asked So to finish him instead, it does not make sense.

I also don't understand why woo hee needs to sacrifice her life, yes she is baekje princess but there is other way to stop the war.

Don't understand why Queen Yoo hates her child 4th prince so much but love her other kids so much????! There is no reason at all, Why is she so cold blooded with her own blood? If he is not related to her, i would understand, but he is her own flesh and blood. Also don't understand Kang family, i thought they hate 4th prince but then why they are helping 4th prince to take the throne? I NEED TO SEE MORE WARS!! HAHAHA, i really hope to see how well they fight when 4th prince take the throne, but there is no scene like that hix!

Don't understand why finally Won drink poison when he read ChaeRyung's letter, i mean he is clearly a cruel person whose hobby is to kill his own brothers but why only now he is sad and regret of his action only because of 1 slave that he used before? No idea. And so many more that i could not explain one by one here. The writer nim is weird.

Jung is being a good husband, perhaps if Soo did not die, she will be happy with Jung... Too bad Soo does not have enough time to turn her affection to Jung hahaha

To my surprise, I like this drama! I was born in 1983, I can relate so well to all the scenes in this drama hahaha! It brings the warm feeling of nostalgia. I still remember that time when i played outside with my neighbors, that time, even though the technology was not advanced yet, but life was so enjoyable and fun. We often meet people and interact with them instead of only talk to them via WA/internet.

UPDATE:
I just finished watching this drama and i can say that this is the first drama that is very real for me, it does not have overly dramatize kind of plot, it's not draggy too, it's just so enjoyable to watch slowly.
It gives u warm feeling, u know like a bittersweet memory of your past.. I really like their relationship, it's so touchy.. I mean U can see how they grow up, also how their parents that once young become old and finally retire, I hope that our world now is like how it used to be.. when people still meet each other and help each other.. When people are not that selfish and they share everything, it is so wonderful to experience that...

I need to give a big applaud to the writer cause he/she can write such a wonderful story about families yet it's not boring at all, at first i was not interested coz it doesn't seem to have a catchy/unique theme, i thought it's just a slow and boring drama, but i am not bored at all while watching this, even though 1 eps is 2 hours hahaha..

Ohh It's such a nostalgic drama, i wonder if i would have the same feeling like them when i am in my fifties... now after i watched this drama, i will appreciate my parents more.. and i will enjoy my current moment because i cannot come back to the time i am now when i am old.. and i am reminiscing my past when i was a lot younger in elementary, primary school, high school, busy with studies, listening to walkman with my schoolmates, going to shcool trip, singing and dancing with my friends, ahh those were such a wonderful moments that could have been buried and forgotten by my busy working life now.. if not for this drama. Maybe because i can relate so well that i really enjoy watching this.

Daebak to all the production crews!!




=====================SPOILERS=================================================

I can see clearly that Taek is the male lead who will get the girl since eps 1, i saw that scene when Dok Sun helped Taek and carry him when he was hurt, she always like Taek and she has been taking care of Taek since they were young. That scene was beautiful when they were young. She just does not know that she likes him yet. She did not love Sun Woo and Jung Hwan because she was just curious when she knew that they liked her, u know, like when we were young and we have not known love yet and we were just curious with people who liked us & gave us attention, it's natural. I don't buy any Jung Hwan's Supporter excuses here about the writer change the husband last minutes. It's clearly that the husband is Taek since the beginning.

He also deserved her more because he is very honest with his feelings, he did not hide it, he show it and not afraid of what people think. He knows that he likes her and he pursue her, he knows that she always be there for him and back him up when he was sad, when he was not eating well, etc. Their r/s is beautiful from the start.

In episode 2, When some of the girls in the class count their love's forecast with their name's number, I TOTALLY REMEMBER THAT! I did the same thing with my friends back then hahaha, I thought it only happened in my country but it also happened in korea! I think Asian's culture tend to me similar. Many of the items, even that thing they rode (a big vehicle with wooden horse) when they were still kids, i also played that before hahaha.

I LOVE all the props in this drama, it's so interesting. How they use mini compo and play it inside the bus, They watch using VHS, they use McGyver soundtrack and Night Rider reference, so funny! I recall everything in this drama with my long buried memories, it's nice to remember all those memories again. Their conversation is also interesting, don't forget to mention the story and lessons from this drama.

Well, this is the second k-drama that i have watched after MLFTS, based on my friend's recommendation.

I like the story and it's quite real about what can happen in life and who we might meet along the way, and it's based on the comic, so it exactly will follow the manhwa. So i don't have any comments about the drama because it follows the manhwa.

Now, I will talk about the story (based on the author), I am just sad for Yoo Jung, he gets that kind of treatment and he tried to defend himself but everyone is like getting on his nerve. He doesn't deserve to be called psycho, i feel that the rest of his friends / teachers are too much and very annoying. He doesn't need to be blamed for bad things that happen. I feel that hong seol should be more supportive of yoo jung, well it does not mean that if u love someone, u allowed those things that he does, but u need to be supportive. Not blaming him obviously.

I feel disgusted with the teacher who stole his credit card but feels like he is entitled to steal, i feel sick of baek in ha who is so spoiled and keep asking for the money and feel sick of all his friends (loser assholes) who likes to suck on smart people like hong seol and yoo jung. Baek in ho is better but because of misunderstanding, they separated sigh.. but he needs to stop pitying himself and stop putting the blame on yoo jung, he is a young adult for God's sake, sigh, such a weak guy.

Anyway, none of those things i mentioned are the fault of the drama's writer, the original story is already like that. But of course it's still a good drama, the acting is also good. It's worth watching just that the ending is not clear, but i believe that the ending is happy one coz they need to solve problems within themselves, even though i still don't agree that yoo jung needs to suppress himself to feel better, i think it will get worse, he just needs to accept him for he is and stop the dad to always judge him that he is a psycho.

I believe if he did not need to be nice to all people (his dad always asked him to be nice since he was a kid, gosh), i think he will be normal. He can be angry and confront people directly, don't need to pretend to be kind but very manipulative behind. If he can accept himself, his emotion, his anger, just like inside out movie, he can be normal, he just has that communication issue, he cannot communicate his feelings well to others so he suppressed his feelings inside and it's eating him.

He express it through action instead, action that is done by others because he can manipulate other people well, he is a smart boy. He doesn't want to let his father down, so he manipulate other to do the deed while he still pretend that he is a nice guy. He has his own way of doing things, i don't blame him, if i were him, i will become like him too since all the people around him are disgusting.

Hahahaha anyway, oh well, just watch it yourself and see whether what i said is true. Thanks.

It's a simple story about work life and career choice. How to cope with office's problems, career's issues, and also about life in general. Actually i quite like this show, it's funny, u know, gong hyo jin and cha tae hyun are very funny. They played out their roles very well. It may not get high rating whatsoever but for me it's much better than other overrated drama like DOTS.

Childhood friendship that blossoms into love, all the funny colleagues, funny moments, office outing etc, it's kinda remind me of my working days in the office. No cheesy romance, the romance is believable.
Overall, it's a good drama and vcan make your heart lighter.

This is a great movie that i watched at the cinema. I don't regret it at all.
The acting is superb even the kid can acting well. The zombies are scary and believable.

Even though it's a movie about zombie, doesn't mean it doesn't have meaningful story behind it.
Surprisingly it has a warm story about father and daughter relationship. Normally western movie that is about zombies doesn't have good story but train to busan has a very strong story as the backbone of this movie. It makes you feel sad dan warm at the same time.

This kind of high quality movie from asia esp. south korea really makes me feel proud as an asian, we, as asian can also make very good movie, i hope it can win oscar lol under foreign movie category.

Thank you Train To Busan! Thank you to writers, directors, actors and all crew for making such a proud movie like this.
