Love this Drama!
What a great surprise for me. I started off watching this drama because frankly I could not find anything interesting to watch. I thought I would give it a try for lack of anything else that seemed interesting and because I absolutely love Lee Min-ki. He is one of the finest Korean actors and can play any character, drama and comedy and extremely well. I also find him very handsome. I also enjoy watching Han Ji-min. I find her very pretty and also an exceptional actress. Sometimes though, you can have excellent actors but the storyline is not good. Thankfully it proved to be so enjoyable and I waited anxiously for each episode to air with English subtitles. I cannot understand Korean, hopefully one day I will be able to.Also, I was hoping for a romance between ML and FL and it happened!!!
I recommend this drama to everyone that loves a good mystery and comedy.
A definite "10" in my book.

Amazing Drama
I will never forget how I felt watching this drama nor will I ever forget it. It haunts me to this day. What an incredible story line and acting by the entire cast. Luo Jin is absolutely one of the best actors I have ever had the pleasure of watching. The cinematography, costumes, interiors, music were amazing. I still cannot believe it has not received the recognition it deserves. It is definitely a drama to watch and re-watch.The relationship between the King and Crown Prince was at most times difficult to watch as well as the other family members.

A great love story
I just finished watching the last episode of this beautiful butt bittersweet drama. The tears are still rolling down my cheeks and I will probably cry for awhile.Where do I begin? First of all the actors all did an amazing job. They were not only cast perfectly but portrayed the emotions necessary for these very emotional and deep drama.
The complex relationships between all the characters kept me riveted to the screen. I actually watch all 16 episodes in 3 days.
The love between Joon Shue and Eun Shue was beautiful and the unselfish love of Tae Suk was equally inspiring and admirable. I can understand why this drama made these three actors famous.
If you have not seen this drama I highly recommend you do.

Completely confused
I decided to watch the movie instead of the series because for once I just wanted to watch a story in under 2 hours. And even though the actors are great and I loved the love between the two leading actors I was left totally confused. Past, present, past, present again and then the doubles of the main characters. Then they throw in the man she married . Too many twists and turns for my liking. The best part is the end where the leads are still alive and become engaged. I do not think I have the patience to rewatch this dram a couple of more times to try and comprehend what is happening.Was this review helpful to you?

Amazing!
I initially did not want to watch a movie that contained so much fighting and battle scenes. I prefer dramatic romance or comedic romance but I was drawn to it because I am a big fan of the Leading Male actor, Jo in Sung. I am so happy I did. What an amazing group of actors and story line. The heroics of several of the characters brought tears to my eyes and it is a movie that I will probably never forget. The second Male lead, Nam Joo-hyuk was also terrific. I just finished watching him in another movie, "Remembrance", which is also outstanding. All in all, a terrific job by all the actors, writers and entire movie crew.Was this review helpful to you?

A must watch movie
It has been a long time since a movie has touched me so much. A story of young, innocent beautiful friendship and first love.The actors all did a beautiful job and the main leads were perfect for their roles. I have tears streaming down my face as I write this.
It has a bittersweet ending and of course, it would have been wonderful if it would have turned out differently. I love happy endings. But as I reflect on the storyline, I find that I feel fulfilled with the joy, though short, it gave.

Loved it!
I just finished watched the last episode, 39 and it left me so satisfied and happy. For some reason a lot of Chinese dramas have a bitter end. Not this one.I loved the main leads. They were perfect for each other in every way, physically and emotionally. Some have said that Lin Gengxin looked too old and too muscular. I disagree completely. He is such a handsome, manly man and he played the role beautifully as did the beautiful Zhao Liying . They were a perfect Yin and Yang. How I wish they were a couple in reality.
Each and every episode kept me entertained and waiting anxiously for the next.
This drama is not one to miss.

Magnificent Movie!!!!
How this movie does not have a "10" for its rating is beyond me. First of all the story is fascinating and that it is based on actual history is even more so. Secondly the acting by the two male leads is one of the best I have ever seen.I usually watch romantic historical and contemporary dramas but fortunately I came across this movie. And I am so happy I did.
It get me interested the entire time and the emotions of sadness, joy and hope I experience were rare for me in one drama.
Everyone should watch it.

Loved, loved, loved "Crash landing on you"
This has to be one of my all-time favorite modern K-dramas. I laughed, cried and loved every minute of it. The acting by the hugely talented and beautiful main leads was superb. I am so happy they are married and expecting a child. And the supporting actors were just terrific. For some reason I resisted watching it for a long time. I don't why but once I did I could not wait for each episode. I learned so much about modern Korean life both in north and south. Ok, maybe a bit exaggerated but nonetheless informative. I still think of the drama and hope to find another like it. It was truly outstanding.Was this review helpful to you?
Lovely Drama
I have to admit I started watching this drama because the episodes of "Immortal Samsara" are slowing being translated into English and I needed another drama to fill in. At first I was not impressed with the the way the story line was going and I found the FL's voice a bit irritating. I decided to keep on watching and I am so happy I did. FL's voice grew on me and the storyline is now so interesting and enjoyable. The ML, Dylan Wang is terrific. I am not a familiar with any of the actors except Xu Hai Qiao who also acted in "Dream of Splendor", which I loved. He plays an excellent villain. I cannot wait to watch episode 11 and see what else transpires. By the way, all the main actors are so good looking and the scenery and costumes terrific. I would definetly recommend watching this drama. Just remember, it takes a few episodes for it to be enjoyable.Was this review helpful to you?

Breathtaking!
I just finished watching "Till the End of the World" and it did not disappoint. Needless to say Mark Chao's performance was absolutely extraordinary as usual. He is one of the most talented actors to grace the screen in our time.The story kept me riveted after the first 5 minutes and continued to do so till the very end. I experienced all kinds of emotions,, fear, anxiety, love and sorrow. Yet ultimately it left me with hope and joy.
I am not an adventurer but to be able to see a movie so well made in the conditions that the cast and entire crew were able to accomplish was a thrill.
I felt like I was living it with them.
Congratulations to all involved in filming this great movie. An absolutely definite movie to watch again and again and one I will never forget.
