At the time, I didn't have time to watch dramas so I only watched films. This was appealing enough to give it a try.
2) Storyline/Plot:
This film's story seemed somehow special and different from any other idol or rom-com film that's why it felt appealing.
Positive points:
*The story was smooth since it combined great events and feelings together.
*The mini-stories intoduced during the film were a nice touch to avoid slow moments.
*The love story was light to the point that it would make you think that this isn't a romantic film yet the important feelings were there plus it felt like the right thing to do.
*Considering the fact that it was almost a musical film, I would say that the music was cool; not great, not bad.
Negative points:
*There was something missing in this film. They should've pushed it a little far in the middle since the story's development felt incomplete.
Story: 7.5/10
3) Acting/Cast:
*Lee Min Jung : I really loved that actress here; she knew how to deliever feelings and make good expressions. She portrayed her role well and gave a good impression as the lead lady plus she's pretty.

*I loved the relationship between leads whether in fighting or in romance; good chemistry.

Cast: 8/10

Even though it was a typical rom-com ending but I end up enjoying it and closing the screen with a happy face.
The ending: 7.5/10
5) My impression (How did it affect me):

*I was a little surprised since I hadn't much expectations for this but I end up liking it. I just love it when a film/drama surprise me (in a good way of course)

So, I adored the story line.. It had real character building (even though it's a movie) and all the small stories that were featured were heartbreakingly moving in a beautiful way. This is a bit of a cry movie, but in a sweet way (and you actually feel happy about crying).
The acting was good, nothing to be amazed about. She did a great job, he did it a bit less (but that was due to the very tiny character building on the male lead side) but the lovely thing in this movie were all the suporting role, they made the movie sweet and fun to watch.
However, for Running Man fans... get ready to grin your face off... Lee Kwang Soo has a super fun suporting role (and there are cameo's of his RM colleagues)
Well, because of the important role of music in the movie (she's a radio DJ and ex-idol and all) you would expect an outstanding Original Soundtrack... That was not really the case, but if you watch the movie you'll get why I gave a 10 for music.
All in all, the movie gives a good vibe and message about how people sacrifice themselves to help others and the importance of loved-ones
Definitely a rewatch
p.s. can be watched in any mood. Really, any mood.

The acting was very good.
As a music lover, the collection of songs in the movie are beautiful and it contains a story that each of us can relate to.
Overall, I gave it an 8 and I rarely give a movie a score of 8, w/c means I enjoyed it a lot... A must-see movie. :)

The story was kind of more low key with the plot. Its more about the growth of the main female character. While it was watchable, it didnt happen to engage me. I was also expecting more of a romance between PD & Jin Ah but yet again Ill mention it was more about Jin Ah's growth. The ending was nice enough.
Acting-wise LMJ did a great job and was very believable. Lee Jung Jin was very wooden and it made his character seem bland. He also didnt have much chemistry with LMJ. I liked the supporting cast.
The music was forgettable. But I did like LMJ's singing because her voice is so pure.
Although I enjoyed certain funny scenes this is not a movie I have to watch again. Overall it was a bit disappointing but still worth a watch once if your a fan of Lee Min Jung.

The story follows an ex idol who is trying to become a radio hostess while getting back her love for music. The love story was so so, as it was predictable and boring. The couple had chemistry but they didn't have any opportunity to exploit it. The performances were good as well, especially from the leading lady who nailed the dramatic scenes. The small cases were cute too and very entertaining. Just the main plot was a bit boring.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Reinventing yourself
This was a sweet movie about getting up again after you fall (or when someone trips you). The FL has had some career difficulties and changed careers from singer to radio show host. When the radio show begins to have difficulties, you think that the poor girl is living under a black cloud. I really liked her personality, even with everything she'd been through, she maintained an open and positive attitude. People around her liked her and were rooting for her.A new producer comes on board and challenges her, and she remains her spunky self. Sparks fly, but I would not call this movie a romance. That's not the focus. This is more a movie about staying true to yourself, having support of good friends and family, rising beyond your troubles, and going after your dreams.
There are some very touching stories of people that come on the radio to share thoughts with the ones they love. I cried more than once, I'll have to admit.
