Where do I begin to say HOW GOOD this drama is. It ranks as my MUST SEE drama to anyone asks for recommendations. I've already rewatched it and it still makes me cry and laugh. The main actor is one of the sexiest & hottest guys in demand and you won't be able to resist him when you see him on screen. He has great chemistry with female lead who is also one of the hottest actresses today. Storyline is paranormal as well as personal tragedy mixed in. The rich CEO guy starts off somewhat of an ass in the beginning, but you can see he really is not so bad and of course the love of a good woman changes him for the better. Great rewatch value, Feel Good Ending: !0++++

Romance between an older couple. She is a CEO of a big company and he is her driver, but they become really good friends. Unfortunately due to class differences they cannot be more than friends even as you can see that they develop feelings for each other. Drama has a really big surprise in the end, pretty good story line. Good chemistry between the main couple, I would re-watch again in the future. Drama did well in Hong Kong, ranking #5 in top ten of 2014.

Truly wonderful drama with an older couple. Romance was no less sweet and heart warming. Really good chemistry between the main actors. Be warned that when you watch this drama, you will drool over Korean food. The filming of the food as well as the beautiful Korean country side was absolutely gorgeous. This film was really a feast for the eyes. Storyline is really heart warming, all about the importance of family and friends.

Just as I don't understand why HEART STRINGS did not get higher reviews and higher ratings in Korea when it did so well internationally, I don't understand why so many people like this drama PLAYFUL KISS. It's got to be the worst drama ever. I really tried to get into it and like it, but it just did not have any redeemng qualities. Not even to watch Kim Hyun Joong, whom I adored in BOY'S OVER FLOWERS. He was sooo swoon worthy there, cutting the food for the girl!!! I mean who does that??? However, in this drama, he was just a total jerk from the get go. I tried to make it through High School and hope that every one matures in college and something sparks between the main couple, but it just dragged on with the male lead being a total ass and the female lead just being a rug with no backbone and no self-esteem. I just hope young girls don't follow her example. Wasted my time, so much better dramas to watch.

I watched this drama for Song II Gook, but I had to struggle to finish it. Based on real police cases in Korea, so I did find the crime stories interesting. But the main couple had zero chemistry, Real disappointment.

This is such an amazing drama, I give it a solid 10. Main actor Zo In-Sung is so gorgeous, so cool! I fell in love with him in Winter When The Wind Blows, and he did not disappoint in this drama either. Not only good looking, but incredibly good actor, either playing it cool or showing incredible emotions. Female lead, Kong_Hyo-Jin, ranks one of my top favorite Korean actress. Loved her quirkiness in Master's Sun, love her feistiness in this drama as well. Chemistry & romance off the charts with this drama!!! What a great couple. Supporitng cast also really fun to watch. While learning a lot about mental illness, the drama did not depress me. Such a well done drama, I highly recommend. Rewatch value: 10, Feel Good Value at the End: 10+++.

Great light Chinese Romantic Comedy. Great Ending and a very touching scenes taken from the story "Lady & The Comb". Made me cry and really touched my heart. Ruco Chan is very cute, kind of goofy with glasses but no less handsome. Great chemistry with lead actress Aimee Chan. I loved the couple, secondary couple was also really good too. Great re-watch value. Ranked #5 in 2014 HK top ten drama ratings.

I loved this drama from the start. The action started right from the beginning and the main Character Michael King was "oh sooo cool". just the way I Iove my main man. I guess most people would either love it or hate it. It's an entertaining drama if you don't take it too seriously but won't like it if you want something deeper. Like watching an Korean version of the old James Bond Movies. I for one absolutely loved it. Song II Gook is so incredibly hot , definitely eye candy treat for me. Will be looking for other dramas by him. Main couple could have had more romantic scenes together, that's my only issue.

i heard this drama was good, but I never knew how GOOD it really was. This drama is a MUST SEE, it is that good. The "Fish Out of Water" story line is wonderful and often so Hilarious. The romance between the 2 main actors develop slowly, but it becomes heart melting when it blossoms. You will laugh, you will cry, root for good guys & boo the bad guys. But most of all you will have an incredible ride with all the wonderful characters. I highly recommend this drama and I can't wait to rewatch it again & again.

Main couple had good chemistry straight off the bat. I found the main male character to be adorable as well as being good looking. This is an oldy but goody drama, often compared to as an early version of SHINING INHERITANCE because of similar story line. I found many heart warming ahh moments; and many funny moments, especially during the many family meetings. . I thoroughly enjoyed it, a real feel good ending drama. I highly recommend it.

Lee Hong Ki was absolutely wonderful in this drama. I was so looking forward this drama and it did not disappoint. It is similar to Master's Sun in the respect that is both Paranormal and also about a rich family. Both Master's Sun and now Bride of the Century are now 2 of my most favorite Korean dramas. This story is fast paced and oh so incredibly romantic, I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it. Lee Hong Ki has a very sexy raspy voice and incredible eyes. Him and Yang Jin Sung was a great cute couple. Very tragic and very romantic drama.

I watched this drama because of Do Jin Hoo who I fell in love with in Goong. However, in this drama, he is a far cry from the sexy prince in Goong. It's just that once you've seen him as a prince in Goong, you are spoiled forever. To be fair, Jin Hoo played the character correctly, which is a kind of shy, geeky guy. His acting was very good, however, I didn't really fall in love with his character. Too much crying for a guy. The drama overall was good. I was hooked from the start, got angry a lot and was emotionally moved a lot. Shows you how unfair life can be and how bad things can happen even to good people. The little girls and even teenage girls playing the rolls of the actors & actress when they were young did a phenomenal job. Made me wish I could see more of them. The villain female in this drama, did all kinds of mean and evil things and did get caught eventually during the drama (didn't have to wait to the end) and that made me really happy. The problem I feel with this drama was the romance between the main roles and of course the ending which a lot of people complained about. As they say, "I did't feel the love". So good as this drama was, I probably would not rewatch it. But first timers should catch it.

I loved this drama so much, I rewatching it again. I don't know why it did not do well in Korea, but as a viewer from the U.S., I absolutely loved it. The music was phenomenal, the couple was really sweet and even the supporting cast was great. We even got some "eye candy" as a treat, what more can you ask for. It was like watching a Korean version of High School Musical. So glad I didn't listen to the reviews and made my own judgement. Jung Yong Hwa, super cute!

of course I watched this drama for Lee Man Ho, but story turned out to be really really good. such a cute couple with great chemistry. Thought the female lead was a little weird in the beginning, but goes with the story line and she definitely gets better. Lee Man Ho is not only great eye candy, but he makes such a wonderful & caring boy friend (where can I find one like him???). Most memorable scene was when he had to go to grocery store and like "incognito" tries to buy feminine napkins for heroine while these school girls are ooing & awing over him. Kissing scenes are a real schorcher, boy can this guy kiss. I loved it so much I had to watch it twice. Will watch it again & again in the future.
