After reading so many comments, my expectations for this drama weren't good. However, the drama surprised me. I saw myself excited to keep watching from the beginning. I read that some people said it had a too slow/boring beginning, yet I loved it. Pretty precise and it also made it more exciting. I started to love the story immediately even though the later half disappointed me a little bit.
However, I found something terribly wrong with the plot. It seemed they didn't have much story so they made a lot of flashbacks. I mean, it's good to show their story back then, but everything, even show repeated scenes? For that, they could've showed it from the past to the present, not show 2-3 episodes in the middle with only flashbacks. It was a bit annoying, not to mention it was a big loss for the drama itself. They could've do so many things on it, but it all seemed to have been made in a hurry.
The cast was great, every character was interesting too. I was so excited to see Nam Goon Min, and he was a complet surprise. I hope he gets more roles.
In fact, it was a pity that it had only 10 episodes. It had the possibility of having been a great drama if they extended, or at least if they've actually taken advantage of the episodes they had (what I think they didn't).
Overall, it was a good and simple drama. With not many episodes and the length not being much, it's a drama you should definitely give it a try.

Beginning with the story: it's the typical story or classic/old kdramas about two friends who knew each other a long time ago and grew up with feelings that could be love. Or, more, three friends - the love triangle that we have to deal with from the beginning 'till the end.
The whole point of this story is the fact that Andrea wants to become a priest. It's what they call as a 'forbidden love'. Will he give it up for her? Will he keep his childhood dream? That's what you are supposed to ask and look forward.
For me the story had too much cliches (not different from any other dramas from the same era), and walked around many circles. The beginning was slow, but then it got interesting.
The cast was great. I have no problems whatsoever.
Soo Ae's character could be a less arrogant, and then less confusing, but it was okay.
The OST was good, the quality wasn't bad considering the year... the only thing I disliked was the flow and some parts of the plot for this story. Especially the ending, which was confusing and a bit controversial for me. Don't take that as I'm saying it has a happy or a sad ending because it's nothing like that.
If I suggest it? I do if you have nothing to do and want to check out old kdramas.

This drama holds now a very special place in my heart. First of all, it was the longest drama I watched. And, on top of that, it was very light and funny without overlooking its story/cultural thing.
The cast was spectacular. Jihoon never disappoints me, be either on acting or on looks (damn it, he's hot in whatever he does). And it had a luxous old cast, with the best actors from the old generation.
About the characters - they were pretty acceptable if not for the childishness of Minjin (the main female). Giha (character) was also very nice but someone should teach him how to kiss/behave properlu without seeming a maniac/raping man. It was such a turnoff sometimes. Really!
The plot was also pretty acceaptable. Not only each episode had around 50 minutes, but also the story was pretty light and quick (and very, very, very funny!!!). If you give it a try, watch it until the first 10 episodes, around that you may become hooked just like myself.
It had also a lot of cultural aspects we see treated lightly in another dramas (like in laws and how mothers-in-law are seen by korean families (I give up my idea of having a korean husband after this :PP Just kidding.) Not to mention every character had his story and his own 'happy ending'. Oh, and.. thumbs up for the ending.
I was a bit anxious to finish it, but I can't say it became boring. Actually, it was pretty nice to watch, that's why I'm reviewing and recommending for you. I watched this after downloading it from asiatorrents, I don't know other websites (but I saw some episodes on youtube as well).
I recommend you: give it a try if you can ^^ It's worth it.

As I said, the cast was excellent. I couldn't catch a fail on their acting... It was all credible and well-done.
As for the characters... Won was really funny at the beginning and I think the drama could have been better if they added more of it at the middle of the drama. Da In was that kind of non-salt character, I didn't really like her. It was nice when she played the hate-love relationship with him but after that it was bad, she was too much of a strict/noble woman.. they had no chemistry at all, unfortunately.
However, the second main couple compensated it a lot. You can't help but fall for them.. and if you do, you'll suffer a lot. The drama scriptwriter was playing with us, I found myself holding my fists just with the thought that one of them could die. ~~~
The romance between Baek and Kkeok was also nice but very subtle for my taste.
The king and the princes were also amazing... if I was a commoner then I'd want to have fair kings like those.
The only thing that I disliked was the plot. I found it very repetitive. What on the beginning started to interest us made the drama a bit boring on the middle. The matter took a long time to be settle... I feel that the drama could have been shorter instead of wavering around the same thing over and over again.
However, this is a drama that I suggest. I started watching it yesterday and finished today because it was really good :) And it's different from others as well ^^

I haven't watched a good kdrama for a long time... This one was so good, so real in every aspects, that I even mistook it as a jdrama at first(reading the synopsis).
They were able to portray a lot of things in a real way, putting away the fantasy we're all used to see on most kdramas... as if everyone gets a happy ending, or their happenings get superficial.
The story was the thing that caught my attention, but soon it became more than that. Every character has a story and that's very entertaining.
The only thing I regret a bit is the fact that this title is 'Little Mom Scandals' but they barely focus on the girl who's really pregnant. As always, they drive away from the main subject.
The cast was good, and it's a pity most of the actors are not known, or did any other drama work beside this one :/
I watched this on a break of study.. Going to watch the 2nd season soon. See you there :)

I loved how the plot was so organized. There were no sudden/random kisses on early episodes how usually happen in dramas, it actually had a story and a path to each character. They developped little by little.
The main guy played the coldest guy I ever saw on dramas, but he was so awesome!!! After half of the drama I was already loving him *-* And he is just too cute while in love~!
As for the actress, everyone was annoyed that she wasn't Lee Da Hae, but I think she did a great job (and LDH is one of my favorite korean actresses!).
It's really a cute drama. A great start for the new year.
And now, back to study ;_;

I had heard a lot about this drama, so I had some kind of high expectations. However, the drama itself didn't beat those expectations.
It was a good drama, but not that great overall. The whole concept is new and cool, but I just couldn't see it as more than a drama about a group of friends. I was also expecting more romance. The thing I'm happy about is that the drama wasn't long, it didn't drag. Even if I wished the ending was not that abrupt.
As for the actors, they were really awesome. Their chemistry and all.
Overall it's a nice and funny drama, with a pinch of romance, that I would recommend... but not as a "must-watch" or a "masterpiece", more like as a cool drama for entertaining.
And now, after finishing, I'm back to studies.. exams are coming >.< Why can't life be a drama? ~~~ haha

The cast is good, and its characters too.
But for Jun Ha/Ma Roo's character.. this guy gave me mixed feelings. He seemed a maniac sometimes, I loved him as much as I hated him. I wish the scriptwriters could be a bit more human and show some feelings too. He seemed to "go where the wind take him".
However, on the contrary of other reviews here, I found this drama not long at all. I mean, truth that it was 30 episodes, but I have watched dramas with only 14 episodes that dragged the story a lot more. This just gets boring when we reach the 25th, 26th episode... I had to forbid myself from doing fast-forward (hehe)
This is a good drama, at least for entertainment. I was a bit sad that they didn't develop the guy's sickness a bit more or show more romantic scenes... . They leave around the middle some loose tips, and don't really explain things sometimes, but it was good.
If you are planning to watch this because of the matter of deafness I suggest you to check jdramas instead. This one was more focused on other things than it.

The cast was good, they had good actors. Just the plot wasn't that nice.
Many people complaint about the ending part, but I was already expecting it. It's no big deal, but it can upset those who watched it with some future expectatives. I hate dramas that go on circles as if they're playing with their viewers, but this was still fine.
I recommend watching if you like more adult scenes, but it's nothing like a masterpiece. As for me I won't watch any more dramas with more than a couple for a while.

Go Eun Chan is not a girl pretending to be a guy, she is naturally like that. A complete tomboy. And Han Kyul is not only a chaebol, he's someone with a warm heart.
This drama captivates viewers essentially because of the romance. There are a lot of skinship moments, but the best thing is their love. It's amazing the things he does for her. (This is the moment I realize I'll die single. Not many men can compete with him T_T)
I recommend this to anyone! Watch it, you won't regret it. It's nice, has good actors and it's also funny.

Anyway, it is a good drama. It starts smoothly, just later it gets addictive. The actors have chemistry, and I have to admit Rain surprised me with his acting. 'Full House' was a complete disaster, but in this one he was really awesome.
The characters were great, even though I wish they made them less confusing. We almost never knew what the main guy was thinking, if it was revenge or love, nothing at all.... But somehow it gave us suspense.
I always thought this would be a really sad drama, but now I realised it's not. It's just dramatic, but also romantic.
This drama would have been perfect if it ended some episodes before, from my point of view, but it's a nice drama!

It's a fantasy movie about a princess who decides to visit the town for the first time. All characters are cute/nice.
I believe it's a movie to watch when you're stressed and need something to cheer you up... or even if you're bored.
It is a nice movie! I'd recommend it!

This got me addicted from the beginning... it dragged a bit near the ending, but it was exciting to know who she'd end up with. The drama doesn't give us a hint about it.... Sometimes I wish there was more romance, but I'm satisfied.
This is really a cute drama, full of laughter :D
Aish, I want to have those four handsome boys in my house.. D: This is making me fall for adults/mature men, it is not right XD

I mean, seriously. The kid grows up knowing he killed someone, his mom has to face all obstacles to raise him and his little brother well, and then we have the small brother all grown up blaming his mom because she gave born to him, who was the brother of a killer. He was selfishly blaming his mom for something it was already painful for the whole family. If it was his dad, I could understand... but playing a victim like that when they all lived and suffered much more....
Anyway, this was great! I wish I could watch more of Tomoya there, but his character was flawless in any possible way. I just wanted to feel the love of the mom for him as a grown up too.
If you watched the drama, watch this as well! It's a MUST!

The actors played their roles well. Not to mention the small Tomoya, what a cute and smart kid. He was able to make us feel his emotions, and his love towards his mom. ´
Even though he was the 'killer', I couldn't help but fall for him, wish I could go there and hug him right now.
Please watch it. I have no regrets, and I'm sure you won't either :)
