I started watching this on kissasian.com but it's hard to tell which season I'm watching because the titles of the same dramas vary so much. It's not that old but I don't really care for the background music. Maybe I just need to stick with a few more episodes to see if anything is going to change. I was hoping it would be like the amazing "Bu Bu Jing Xin" (Scarlet Heart-1) or "Prince of Lan Ling", but so far that's not the case. But I have discovered how much I like some wonderful Chinese dramas! There are some really great historical dramas from many Asian countries--I love it (I am an American from the U.S. all my life.)

I have watched a few dramas on kissasian.com when I can't find them on dramafever.com or viki.com, and at first the website was okay. There are several ads on the site but I don't always mind because they seem to be mainstream and unobtrusive--Except for a few that have very offensive pictures. I try my best to avoid looking at them and even though you can close them, it gets tiring for every episode. So I have decided not to use kissasian anymore. I've written to them, and of course I'm only one person, but they don't get rid of the bad offensive ads and instead just keep the good ones (which would be common sense if they want more followers), so I'm ready to Stop Watching anything on kissasian. It's too bad because it seems like they could have been a really valid website but I'm not willing to be offended any longer.

Good drama. Interesting. Pace was pretty good, but last two episodes seemed to drag a bit. Somewhat cliché and predictable. Characters worked well together. Father too overbearing. Ending was good--better than expected. Not as emotional as I thought it would be.

I don't understand--what's with the low review ratings? Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but really? I do have to say that I was not influenced by any pre-drama hype before it came out so I didn't have pre-set expectations.

This drama was sooo good! I loved Lee Min Ho and Kim Woo Bin -- the lead actress, Park Shin Hye, was also excellent! I enjoyed every episode. Maybe you need to watch it one more time?

Take care.

Wow--sorry, but I so disagree! I loved all three of these dramas. I especially liked "To a Beautiful You." I never forced myself through any part of these dramas. "Boys Over Flowers" was my second kdrama ever and I loved it--so did my friend! And you really must watch "Heirs" with Lee Min Ho and Kim Woo Bin. The lead actress, Park Shin Hye, was also excellent. It was sooo good--every episode. Of course we all have our own opinions, but I really can't understand how you wouldn't like any of these three. (:

Honestly my "disappointment list" would include:
Playful Kiss (so condescending to women),
Flower Boy Ramen Shop (too boring and too much fluff),
Iris (terrible ending!) and
Cheese in the Trap (ending and last episodes ?!?)
Also the most overrated drama in my optinion is "You Who Came from the Stars." I liked parts of it, but the lead female character was just too over the top--such a spoiled brat and egotistic--too much so--while the lead male character was way too quiet and opposite personality.

Hang in there (Fighting)! and Take Care.

I've read through the comments below. What I would like to know is, am I really the only person who wants to know about what the word "DAMMY" means on his sweatshirt? Is it some kind of high school/group slang? Can anyone tell me? Thanks.

Excellent drama series. My rating 97%

Episodes are 30 min, so really 54 episodes instead of 108

I didn't want it to end, it was sooo good, although last two episodes could have been a little more engaging--like all the episodes that came before. It felt a little too "wrapped up" at the very end, although it was a good ending.

I loved the character "Kuchon," played by Yoon Tae-young--sincere expressions and captivating smile! Also, Seo Hyun-jin was amazing portraying Solnan--she is beautiful physically as well as her personalityl!

All of the actors were excellent, as well as the cinematography and storyline. I could easily watch this again!

"The King's Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang" is definitely worth watching and one of the best historical dramas I've seen (which are many)! It's at the top of my list with my other favorites!

I watched this on YouTube in 10-minute segments. It was easy and the picture quality was good.
I've been searching for this movie for quite some time. Don't know how I missed seeing it, but I'm so glad that I found it. I watched the first 10 minutes to see if it was something that I would be interested in. I couldn't stop watching to the end.
This movie was so well done. It is touching and powerful because it makes you think and come to a few realizations about life. Everything in this movie was perfect--from the storyline and music to the most excellent acting to the writers, directors and everyone involved in its production. I rate it 10/10. Highly recommended.

This really is a good drama! I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end and will watch it again. I also loved the current-day, techie side of the story. The storyline is good (for the most part)--there were a couple of things I would have changed, but everyone has a different idea. The actors were good--especially the two lead actors who were so perfect together. I loved their unique personalities, but still willing to try to understand each other and give in for the other person's benefit. Side stories were cute and the ending was great. I definitely recommend you watch this one. I rated it 9 out of 10.

I started worrying after watching episode 14 because I couldn't imagine that they could have any greater content for the story, but they actually pulled it off. I wasn't bored or disappointed (except for the Shaman never did make sense to me).

I really hope this is not a new trend. I actually love new styles and trends, but her clothes were awful! I believe they did it to make her look completely different and stand out among the other characters, which they didn't really need to do because her personality was so unique. I didn't like any of her outfits until the very last scene in the park and they never mentioned any new trends in the story. I thought I was going to like the dress he gave her in an earlier scene until I saw the yellow splashes with the stripes. It seemed to try to be artistic, but it didn't accent any of her features or attract me to the design. It just was not appealing at all!
PS I loved her hair cut! (: She is so cute!

I don't even get the Shaman guy at all. I understand that she was very superstitious, but his development in the story could have been much better. Obviously he was the evil one, but in the end he just packs up and leaves? It just didn't make enough sense--it felt like a piece of the drama was left out without completion. I felt that there should have been some type of confrontation to a sub-plot of some type.

I couldn't understand that either. I know it was for dramatic effect, but they should have had her stay around a bit longer at least to see if he was still alive, especially since she was in love with the guy!

How do writers "Run out of ideas?" They must be either bored or unmotivated. Or the directors are. It makes no sense if this is your job and you're in the industry. Wouldn't you continually be coming up with better ideas rather than worse? It's not like there are no data out there to work with! There is some real reason why it's not done better. Maybe they are not getting paid enough or they're way overworked. Either both or something entirely different, but there is a reason.
I'm trying to decide if I should watch this drama or not. I hate wasting my time on mediocre dramas and especially getting to the end of 16 or 20 hours and being disappointed that something is cut off or dragged out. It just makes me not want to watch any more dramas at all. I could be doing other things with my life. If you're going to do a job, I believe you should do it right or at least to the best of your ability--not to just throw any old thing out there just to get it finished.

Re: newest format for mydramalist.com episode links (under "Watch Online Now" section). It looks much better than having to scroll through 20 screens to get to the comment section. (I hope it doesn't look like this just because there are only two episodes listed so far.) It would be even better if, instead of a full picture for each episode, there was just a hypertext link to each episode since the picture is already shown at the top of the page. Or how about just a teeny picture next to each link? Or even just move that section to the Bottom of the page?
Thanks for listening and take care.

I watched the first 30 episodes on kissasian.com but they must have changed the translator because the translation was so bad at that point, that I could no longer watch it even though I really wanted to see the remaining episodes. (I also tried YouTube and DramaCool.) So I switched to the six-episode condensed version and it was obvious that there were just too many gaping holes with critical pieces of the story left out. Now I'm trying to find somewhere that has a decent translation of the remaining episodes of the full 76. It is very frustrating but I will keep looking. I hope someone can advise me on where to find a decent translation. Thank you for your help.

Sorry, I am so confused!

Palace: The Lock Heart Jade (2011) is a Remake of WHAT drama? and a Sequel to Which one?

I'm assuming that the movie stands on it's own, but then what is the sequence of everything else?

Does it matter? Pease let me know either way. I would like to watch these in the order that they should be watched in. If some are the same as others, please help with that also.

THANK YOU for helping clear up the confusion.

Cute, sweet, sad. I'm not a crier and I really don't like watching sad movies, but this was worth watching. --Adds meaning to friendship and love.

Thanks for the article and all the replies from commenters. I love reading the different opinions (: Some clichés are OK and some can be irritating especially after you watch enough dramas to realize that they Are clichés and do them the exact same way. I think it's really about the acting, plot and how cliches can be used in creative ways. But one thing that I really love about Korean dramas, that got me hooked and keeps me going, is the way humor is used. It seems that Korean writers just know how to add the perfect touch of humor in the right places--not just in comedies, but also in many other dramas!

Sorry, but I LOVED Coffee Prince. It was so funny and she was so cute! I never felt that she was so whiny--it was just the situation. I also loved the second couple and other funny characters. The grandmother was awesome!

This movie is just okay, with cute high school actors. It was a fairly predictable rom-com, nothing spectacular, but did have a cute twist at the end which made me rate it an 8/10.

I will say, as others have noted and I heard repeatedly throughout the film, that it is quite sad and concerning that they make so many comments about wanting lighter skin color. The prejudice really stands out. If you think about it, most people with white skin are always outside or at the beach trying to get a dark tan--which fades in a few weeks and actually damages their skin quality.
