The story seems very ordinary, yet very unique for me. It's like a hidden gem.The charm and beauty of this drama lies in the mood followed all through, you know that kind of mood we all know of those very beautiful and great old dramas you rewatch over and over again. So I can proudly say that Marriage Contract is my guilty pleasure. ;)
However, what'll make this drama forever engraved in my heart and soul is atmopshere( I liked the lighting in this drama, orange, yellow, blue), one of the best chemistries I've ever seen, natural, real and out of this world acting, fantastic characters and their natural developing, memorable music. I liked how this drama was getting better and better with every single scene and episode, without hysterical yelling, unnecessary illogical plots and happenings, and it was calm and logical till the end.
Acting was simply wow. Lee Seo Jin grow so much as an actor and his character is a heart of this drama. He freaking rocked this role. From the jerk to the sweet, caring and loveable husband, son and dad. His strong and powerful acting plus sexy dimples is not easily to be forgotten, for sure. And now what surprised me was Uee. I've always been neutral with her and I've thought that her acting is so-so, but she made me prove I was very, very wrong. She did a marvellous job. I simply can't get out of my mind the way she caress Eun Sung, how she holds back her tears, her gestures, biting her lip and smiling. She literally ruined me because she wasn't ashamed to show her deepest emotions, she cried when felt like crying, she smiled when she felt happy and she loves with all hear heart. She learned to appreciate life, to live in this moment without any regrets. Since I definitely agree with her she has my sincere respect for that. And our little Eun Sung. Withouth her this drama wouldn't be alive. That little girl is such a sweet heart. I've always adored kids since forever and that's maybe why dramas with kids are my weakness, but what can I do. Eun Sung made me to cry bucket of tears because that child is simply fantastic.
I have no words to describe that phenomal and electric chemistry. Both of them showed deepest and raw emotions, their gentle touching, passionate and sweet kisses, tight and warm hugs, their sincere tears and words for each other. As I said you have to see it for yourself, because explaining something wonderful as this is is impossible. I guarantee you that. ;)
Music is very beautiful especially that nice mumbling instrumental which played in the most fantastic moments. OSTs were also addicting and I listen them from time to time. :P
Marriage Contract is a drama full of life lessons with excellent dialogues and wise words. A drama which makes you appreciate and love your life. The one that will hit you hard, crawl under your skin and bones and forever be remembered.

WHAT A DRAMA! I was thinking whether to start it or not because comments about the ending were keeping me from watching it. And then I start it! And I'm so glad I did! I was AMAZED! And let me tell you why:
This is a very dark and deep story of 4 people and their desires, greed, money and love. For their desires, they will ruin each other's lifes, for greed and money they will do anything and for love they will let go of their pride.
The chemistry was so real and passionate. Their feelings were shown in a brilliant way and most of the scenes were just filming a face of a characters which managed to show their expressions.
Acting: So Ji Sub was amazing as ever. He plays a very intelligent man who has a cold exterior and it is difficult to read his mind.
And actor that was totally mindblowing with his acting was Jo In Sung. The character of Jung Jae Min, selfish, arrogant, playboy, self-centered man was really hard to play and he managed to do it more than pefectly. It was truly enjoyment watching only him and his acting skills.
I'm not that fond of Ha Ji Won, but she was pretty good in here. I can't imagine any other actress to play this role. A woman who will do anything for money and greed and who never experienced love falls in love with a two different man with different personalities. I can say that I didn't hate her role, because somehow I understood her. If you watch it you will see and why ;)
Music: OSTs fitted a drama perfectly. Every ost have so much feels that made this drama more beautiful!^^ My favourite is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed-ZBEOnPMw
Oh, and about the ending, I would rather call it a good writing. It somehow fitted to the whole concept of a drama. I saw many melodramas, but in this one ending is realistic. With so much temptations, passion and greediness the ending was understandable for me!
If I rewatch it again, I'm pretty sure I will have the same exact feelings like the first time I was watching it!^^
Give this drama a try, but once you start it you won't be able to stop it, believe me!^^

There's nothing special in it, even opposite, it's a drama where the story is ordinary with a cardiovascular person and another person who lost his wife and since then he lived a life like it's not worth it. And that was untill he met Bom Yi, a sick person with his dead wife's heart. From the moment when they met the stong bond was formed and since then they couldn't live without each other.
Her's unselfishness, goodness, kindness made not only him, but also me love her. She's conscious about her sickness, she knows that she can die every second, but she's not trying to run from it yet she's opposing it by living her life to the fullest. She met Dong Ha and they fell in love.
All I can say is that I'm really surprised by Soo Young's acting. While I was watching it I never felt like watching an idol yet a talanted actress who deserves all the praise.
Kam Woo Sung potrayed a man with a two kids who has lost a wife, but when he met Bom Yi his life changed. His relationship with a family became better and he once again started feeling love.
A beautiful cinematography, Udo island, nice OSTs, a heartwarming feeling have followed me through the whole drama and that's why I can't easily forgot it. At most of the moments this drama reminded me of one of my favorite movies "A walk to remember" and that beautiful quote "Love is like the wind. You can't see it, but you can feel it."
How much this drama has clichés that much has a maturity in it. Their interactions with each other, conversations, words are full of meanings and it gives you a lesson about a love, life and hope. And that's why this drama will always be in my heart like a spring that came into my soul and stay there till eternity.
~"To keep you in my eyes and in my heart, so I can engrave you there."

- The story is about detective and his first love who is high level burglar. It's a rom-comedy movie and I really enjoyed it. The chemistry between those two are awesome. Joo Won is an awesome actor and it really suits him to be police(hehe,loved him in that role since "Bridal mask"). Kim Ah Joong is great as burglar and pretty.
- Music fitted the movied and it maked the scenes more beautiful.
- Overall I gave it a 9, cuz it was enjoyable and Joo Won is by himself sufficient to watch this movie. :D
Hope you will enjoy ^^

I marathoned it for 4 days. I was so happy to heard that they are couple in a real life. They really suit each other.
The story is about Kim Boong Do who travels 300 years into the future in modern Seoul where he meets Choi Hee Jin not so popular actress and they fall in love. I loved every second of it and I liked how their romance and feelings devolps as the story goes on.
At the beggining Yoo In Na's acting was so-so, but then at the middle of a drama her acting becomes better. I feeled her sadness and crying through me. Ji Hyun Woo did an amazing job as always.
Music is very well combined witht the old and modern time.
I'll always rewatch this drama. It was so sweet and heartwarming.
Overall I gave it a 10 :D So, when you have nothing to watch or you're in a mood to watch something sweet and heartwarming this is a drama!^^

It's a great package of a comedy full of action.
I personally love spy things and all that stuff,but this movie is amazing.
It's a story about spy who must be and for his wife and for his organization at the same time. He's always making excuses like "I'm in a metting"or "I must go on bussines trip".Wife doesn't know that he's a secret agent,and what happen's when she falls for hot,attractie man Ryan?Watch it and find out. :D
I reccomend this movie to everyone,'cause it will make you laught and as I said if you love action scenes and secret agents you should give it a try. Oh,and one more reason to watch it: Daniel Henney's killer smile :D

The story is sad and beautiful at the same time. Seo In Guk really, I mean really can act and his beautiful smile,ah... ^^ Wang Ji Won did a pretty good acting. They somehow met in a most desperate time for both. He's an lost alien who wants to see and find out what tears are for humans.
Music fits the drama, and since there were not much dialogue, music potrayed the feelings.
Watch it, you want regret it 50 minutes of your life ^^

I was seriously invested right from the beginning to the point where it ruined me emotionally. Totally. ;)
However, even though this drama gives an amazing thrill, mystery and crime to me the most important part and essence of Signal are definitely characters and their development. I didn't expect to give us such a human and touching side. That side of Signal made our heart be broken over and over again, to emotionally ruin us, to affect us in every possible way and to learn us some life lessons and essence of everything: "If we don't give up, there's still hope."And that's the only truth of life. :P
-I loved the whole idea of a main story: going back and forth, traveling from present to past, using walkie-talkies to communicate, how does it affects to present when past changes, I loved how they solved cases, how something new always appear, their way of thinking and of course I liked how they based it on a true stories. The world can be so cruel...
And now the part when I'm most excited to write are three main characters, Park Hae Young, Cha Soo Hyun and Lee Jae Han. They're outstanding, enormously awesome, well simply perfect. If you ask me to chose which one of them I loved the most, I'd say all three. I'd have no heart to chose, because my love for all of them are equal. Seriously. And it will forever stay that way. Why? Well, Cha Soo Hyun- she's the woman I really respect and love. With her past she's clumsy, naive, cute and brave, but with her present self- cold, devastated, tortured, victimized, but yet again brave, very brave. I remember that scene which made me shout to her "I love you so much, woman". because what she did, I believe only rare number of woman would be prepared and able to do that. She's definitely one of the best rookies, team leaders and females I've ever seen. ;) Park Hae Young- Gosh, how much I adore him. He's so intelligent, cool, brave and of course sexy. I liked how his mind worked, his relationship to Jae Han, his care for him, his fight untill the end. Hae Young is a man I'd definitely would be glad to have in my life. And my dearest Jae Han: A fair detective, a man where a word "give up" doesn't exist in his dictionary, a man with an honour and strong sense of justice a man as big as mountain, yet with a pure and great heart. I loved him to the core and I was rooting for him all the way, whenever he has done a right thing I was always saying "I adore you Jae Han." Also, his interactions with Soo Hyun in the past were so interasting, pure and sweet to me, I enjoyed to the fullest. He should be a proof to all of us: To never give up, to just keep going, because answer will come to us sooner or later, but in a right place and time.
One more thing I loved about this drama is that three main characters are connected, they feel each other with a strong bond. Their characters grow every time they become entagled with each other, be it in a past or present. Jae Han with Soo Hyun in a past, and with Hae Young in a present and a past, Soo Hyun with Hae Young (I seriously loved how they become so strong together, Hae Young slowly changed her) in a present and Hae Young with Soo Hyun in the present and Jae Han in the past. It's simply fantastic.
The strong point of Signal is definitely the out-of-earth acting. It's outstanding. KHS is very talanted actresses and most of all the beautiful one, because not only she's 45, but because she has that charm that makes you adore her. She rocked this role, that's for sure. How she managed to act from the girl who knows nothing about the world to the strong, wounded, painful woman I can only say BRAVO. I know LJH from before and this drama only made me love him more and more. He's amazing. His very professional acting, his voice, hands and the most beautiful profile and nose I've ever seen (I'm fangirling right now hahaha). My Lord, he is PERFECT. And our veteran and awesome actor JJW. After this role, he has become one of my favorite actors. Only words of praise.
And the osts... Gosh, the best of the best. My fav, ones are definitely "I will forget you"and "The Road." Though, every ost is memorable to me and I'm listening it everyday. Somehow, every ost is related to the specific character and scenes and listening them I keep remembering this drama over and over, so I can never forget it. :P
Would I rewatch it? YES. Definitely, without a thinking yes. I already have an urge to watch it again, I just want to erase my memories and watch it. Like I said it before to me it's the best detective drama EVER, a drama where it taught to me that no matter how hard and difficult it gets, what matters the most it to never lose hope and faith, because everything falls into place and that even though you can't change the past, you can be a reason for a good change in a future. So, if you ask me, I'd say go and watch it right now, you'll not regret it, for sure. ;)

Yeah, there was some difference, about a birth part, but it was all about greed, betrayal and love.
Acting: I loved Lee Dong Gun's acting as well Lee Jin Wook's. Both played hard roles, one is a sly, calculative man who will do anyhing for money and the other one is a rich innocent good man, but after a betrayal of a close friend he changes.
Kim Hee Sun was the very first Korean actress I knew and she didn't disappoint me till now. In here she played a cheerful, playful girl who dreams to became a professional pitcher and she gets entangled in a lives of a two men.
Yoon Se Ah played a pretty good villian and I really liked her acting in here. One of the few good villians I've seen so far.
Music somehow didn't fitt in a scenes of a drama, but there were two good osts!
I skip-watched towards the ending, it became boring, so I don't think I'll rewatch it.
