If your looking for an awesome rom com but also would like it to have meaning then this is for you.
When I read the summary i found the plot interesting so i decided to immediately start watching it. There were so many scenes that made me laugh out loud, and I really enjoy dramas with lots of comedy.

What really made me absolutely fall in love with this was the heartfelt and meaningful moments that made cry buckets and think about my life.
The acting was good and I think the romance between the two reads felt real.
Overall this is something you should definitely watch

First of all, this is probably one of the best if not THE BEST high school/fighting dramas I've seen so far!
The action was pure gold and the guys being smexy and handsome + shirtless at least 10% of the entire drama only added to the awesomeness.
The acting was great, you could definitely feel the emotions each one of the main leads expressed. The OST was amazing too! I fell in love with the theme/opening song from the very first episode and I would fangirl whenever it was played during the drama. The only thing that kind of disappointed me was the ending. I just feel like there could've been more and therefore I really hope that there will be a season 2 or a movie that can give us a proper ending. Becuase of this small remark I can't give the story a 10/10, but it is definitely a great drama to check out if you like action dramas and hot guys. read more

Good Job, Good Job

I started this drama because the plot looked promising and I especially like this hidden child/unknown child themes. So as I was watching I felt more and more bored, angry and annoyed. By the end i was hitting my head on the table and flipping tables (?°?°??? ???).
40 episodes was way to long, I mean that they could have easily shorten it down to 16 episodes, it was way to lagging and repetitive.
Half way I stopped counting...
1. the amount of unfairness
2. the amount of times they broke up and get back together
3. the amount of mother-in-law or angry mother fights
4. the unreasonable conflict
5. that every problem is because of one person
6. ETC.

I have watched family dramas this long previously and I known that some parts can be boring or unreasonable but this just reached the top levels... I really wanted to stop after the first 12 episodes but continued as I wanted to know how it finished. I thought it was not worth my time at all.... I mean there were some moments which were cute and romantic, and also thought that was the best part of the drama but there weren't that many which caused my really negative feelings towards this drama.

Basically I was utterly disappointed with it and would certainly not recommend it. The main reason for which I was able to watch till the end might the well chosen cast. I really liked some of the characters so maybe that's why I was able to watch through till the end without dropping it. The music wasn't really catching either nor caught my attention. read more

Right now, I have finished Episode 17 and I am waiting for Episode 18 to come out. I think at first everyone thinks Jin Da Hua is ugly, but I didn't think that. Yes, She isn't the most pretty girl in Taiwan and she definately isn't like Liang Yan, but her personality makes her go upto the level of Liang Yan.

I found Terry's character really cute and funny. He's a good leader, rich and sweet. He's helpful and kind and that's the type of person that every girl wants and needs. I couldn't help but scream and squeal every time I saw Jin Da Hua with him and when him and Da Hua had their moments.

However, Lin Guan Jun is also cute and funny. I hated the fact that Da Hua liked him and he never liked her that way. But when he fell for her, I couldn't help but ship the couple. I hate the way Hao Zhao Fei (whatever her name is) clings onto him and calls him her boyfriend.

In the last episode I watched, which is 17, at the end Lin Guan Jun says something really stupid. I don't want to write it out so you have to watch the episode for that, but he really hurt Da Hua's feelings and crossed the limits. I think Da Hua deserves a guy like Terry (Ouyang Tai) as he cares for her and wouldn't leave her for anything and anyone. read more

Stars Falling From the Sky

This is one of the first dramas in a long time that had me clued to the couch. It was funny, touching, heartbreaking, it made me really angry at times and it made me awe, I really enjoyed it.

The whole family plot hits a soft spot in my heart and I wish more shows would leave me with this feeling of wanting more.

The cast did a great job, they made me hate or love them at the right times, just like they where supposed to.

So I hope others will enjoy it as much as I did (^_^)

Hungry!

I love this drama! Hungry! is so much more than originally meets the eye, and there is a little something for everybody to love.

Hungry! includes your typical "love, happiness, family" themes (and pulls these off very well), but my favorite was how they handled following your dreams. Sometimes, dreams change, and even when you do settle on one the path may change and evolve over time. I love this drama for the realism. The challenges the main character, Eisuke, has to overcome (in both his personal life and starting up a restaurant) are very real and handled in a very human way. This adds so many bonus points because dramas have a bad habit of problem solving through Deus Ex Machina and it drives me crazy.

But what makes this drama top notch is the humor. Several moments had me laughing out loud and I typically had a smile while watching. The writing is great and (most) of the actors did a fantastic job.

Check out Hungry! I highly recommend it! read more

Spring Day

I've always wanted to see a real, full-blown love triangle in Korean dramas. The regular kdramas never quite satisfy my triangle-loving side. So I can say happily that Spring Days quenched my thirst for such a drama. I marathoned it like crazy finishing it in less than 3 days. In fact I am so satisfied that I'm not sure if I ever want to watch such an angst fest again in near future.

I enjoyed hating parts of this drama more than I enjoyed loving them. How ironic, I know! It had me pulling out my hair, screaming and cursing with frustration. I almost wanted to give up watching, and for some reason I couldn't. I was addicted badly to it. The characters were all crazy and nobody is normal in this drama. All their lives suck and every character suffers from deep guilt, abandonment issues, mommy issues, daddy issues and what-not. Plus, it being a melodrama had the tragic makjang also. All this craziness is what makes this drama complete. Perhaps all this seems a bit too much for me since I am not a melodrama loving person. For those who do watch melodramas, I can guess it won't be a big deal at all.

The acting done in this drama is way above than normal ones. The main leads are perfect at playing their roles. This drama does have a lot of crying in it, but some scenes have been done beautifully. Especially Ko Hyun Jung- who I've seen for the first time here was outstanding. She really knows how to pull off emotional scenes with perfection. In fact, I've not been so impressed with an actress in a Korean drama before. Jo In Sung went way overboard at times when he was crying or yelling, but at least his emotions came through to me as a viewer. Plus he's so good to look at. :D I liked the other actors too especially Han Go Eun who always plays her characters well.

As for the overall story- I thought it was good. It does have flaws and boring parts in it but it manages to be decent enough. I suppose I loved the characters most. This one is an entirely character-driven drama. I loved the fact that the characters were messed up and there was no good guy here. All characters were flawed- especially Jung Eun and Eun Sub.

Jung Eun is at first a female who has been closed off and living in a shell for years due to her sad past. Then she meets Eun Ho who helps her open up and they fall in love. She also meets his younger brother- the hot, self-centered and childish Eun Sub who also falls for her. Then you have a complicated story with brothers in love with the same woman. The only question here is who she will go to in the end.

I thought Eun Ho was perfect in the beginning but later on he sort of became redundant to me. I couldn't root for him as much as I did for Eun Sub. I didn't even love Eun Sub entirely. He was too flawed. But I have to say that Jo In Sung suited the role. Eun Sub makes for an interesting literary character who has an unhealthy, all-consuming love for the woman. Not just that, he needy and desperate for love and he shows it time and again. He was unlike other Kdrama guys that I have seen till now who usually remain closed off. Here you have a guy who shows that it isn't easy to close off once you have opened up. Apart from these characters I LOATHED their mother. She drove me crazy. She was beyond INSANE, I tell you! I didn't get why she kept beating up whichever female got close to her son. Crazy, crazy woman!

I think every person would want to root for the brother that I rooted for. He's the one who suffers like hell and also gets his deserved happy ending. In fact the ending is happy for almost every one. Sort of. That is why this is one of the best melodramas according to me. :)

This drama has an outstanding background score. I also loved the main song which they kept playing in every episode. It was simply perfect.

Since it was so tiring to watch, I will never rewatch it. Ever. read more

Sea God

Sea God/Emperor of the Sea is an amazing lengthy drama. We follow the life of Goong Bok (later named Jang Bo Go) who is a slave at a shipyard and wishes to escape the horrible life of slavery with his close friend Jung Nyeon who is somewhat a stereotypical side-kick character (the I'll-die-for-you-and-follow-you-wherever-you-go type). They are pleaded guilty for crimes they are innocent of, learn martial arts together, go through many near death experiences and later advance through ranks to become important people.

The story starts a little slow but is still interesting right from the first episode. Its the kind of drama you could marathon but personally I didn't because although it gets really interesting, it was never so addictive that I couldn't stop watching (guess thats a good thing? Hehe). There great unpredictability in the drama all around. Things that you'd usually want to happen in dramas but never happen will happen here and things you'd probably not want to happen will happen as well. You might like it because it feels fresh tries to avoid the stereotypical stuff rampant in dramas but you might also detest it and curse the writers for not allowing things to go the way you want. This might especially apply in the romance department, it never really goes in the direction the romance lovers would want it to (especially the way it ends).

POSSIBLE SPOLIER BELOW:
The ending is why a lot of people might rate this drama poorly and I'd have to agree that it was a bit bad. Not anything I couldn't swallow so it didn't weigh heavily on me like the ending of Queen Seon Duk did (maybe because Ive seen worse or maybe because it seemed ridiculous). You could say the ending is similar to Bad Guy with a little extra. It sort of makes sense but if the writers wanted to, they could've made it happier.
POSSIBLE SPOLIER END

Some nitpicks for this drama (why it doesn't get 10/10) would be for one, I couldn't agree with actress Chae Si Ra being cast as madam Jami (the main female antagonist). According to the drama madam Jami is supposedly beautiful, seductive, intimidating and at times, scary. When the drama tries to give you any of these impressions from the actress, it just falls flat. Also, I found some of the fight scenes hilarious with all the unnecessary jumping and funny sound effects but overall they are actually very well done (also considering the year it was done, the experience the cast had at the time with fight choreography and just the overall fact that korea has never been on par with China when it comes to martial arts in films or dramas). Anyways the hilarious parts are few. The ost in the drama are ok. Sounds like typical stuff if youre a k-drama veteran. You either like the ost or dont really care.

As a whole this drama has amazing production, excellent actors, deals heavily with themes of dirty politics, merchants & trade, pirate battles, country wars and is highly recommended to all k-drama lovers especially those who like the historical & martial arts blend and the rise of an underdog. read more

Soulmate

Among the many Korean rom-com dramas Soulmate is one that really stands out and will probably stay with me for a long time.

The story involves different couples, some of them believing in fate and some not. The thing I really loved about the drama is that it treats the fate/soulmate topic in a very lighthearted way because the characters weren't forced onto a certain path by fate, they were still free to make their own decisions. The drama made me laugh a lot but also had its share of touching moments without being overdramatic or angsty.

The cast was really outstanding for me. They portrayed their characters very realistically and there's not one character I disliked.

If you're searching for a drama that focuses on one couple falling in love this might not be the right one because it takes a long time for the main couple to even meet. But if you're looking for a refreshing drama that's different from your typical romance storyline I highly recommend to give Soulmate a try! read more

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora

So let me begin this review by saying I read the manga and watched the anime before I found out that there was a drama, and that that was the reason I watched this.

The story was very faithful to the manga and anime, and I was glad that they hold on to some funny and touching parts exactly as they were. This way I think they were able to put the best parts of it in here and even added to some cenes but I think the feelings could have been slightly stronger. Then again the story is a drama but not a go to tears, rethink you life choices drama!

It has a funny and soft feeling around it. It is placed on the perspective of a teenage boy, so we follow the way he treats his friends, the way he deals with his sickness, and most importantly we can see little by little every thought of his turning to Rika,
and we can see how that afects him and changes him bit by bit.

I think the casting was very well picked. They were all exactly as I pictured them, from the main leads, to the most secondary roles. Even though the leads were very young, and even the suporting roles too, they played their parts very well.

Usually I fall in love with the musics that I hear in dramas but in this case it was just ok. Not bad, but ok.

As to watching it again, well I think there were some parts that I may likely go see again. It has very funny and very sweet moments.

If you are looking for something dramatic but still funny and light to watch this is for you. read more
