This drama seemed promising. Since they had Mike He, I thought it would be the typical great romance, but it was a bit ruined... The drama is good and average, but they missed some fulcral points.
They dragged a lot too for 17 episodes.
I loved all the actors, they seemed really awesome! I liked Ji Cong and Quian Na's romance, even though it also lacked a lot.

I like those kind of taboos, and it has a story we don't usually see on dramas.
The actors were good, and their chemistry as well.
It's not a drama to make us amazed by it, because they don't go much deep in the relationships but it's still good! They didn't develop the story, but since the story has only 11 episodes they developed it enough!
I liked everything about the story.
I was thinking it was going to have a sad ending, but it was only a bit weird..... I liked it.
I recommend it :)

As a Mike He fan, I saw the description and decided to watch this drama.
I absolutely loved. Mike He is really different from his other roles, he gives a cute aura as well aside from the sexyness we all know (*blush*). The actress is totally compatible with him. Overall the cast was well chosen, and the chemistry pretty cool!
The plot is addicting. It makes us want for more and more.
They just messed it up a bit in the last episodes. It was like they threw water at us, viewers. They could be a bit less dramatic, and develop some parts. Also, give us the ending we deserve..
I can say this was a drama that made me fall for Mike He all over again. If it wasn't for the ending episodes(it was pretty cool, and I loved it, but it could have been better), I'd say it was my favorite drama :]

The actors were brilliant, and so was the plot.
I just pitied that they didn't develop the character's feelings, and it was a bit confusing somehow.
It's a drama that is worth watching... :)

I downloaded all episodes to watch on Easter weekend, because I wouldn't have internet, and watched it in 2/3 days.
Since I was afraid the links weren't full, I watched a few of each episode in advance, and what I saw made me speechless, and wanting to watch more and more... In the end, it was a bit disappointing.
It is totally surprising that those lead actors were newcomers in acting. They were so good, especially Yoon Eun Hye. The other actors were also great, just that since those were newcomers.... They almost blew my mind. It was pretty good.
It's a cute, funny and romantic drama :)
About the plot... I think they had EVERYTHING to turn the drama into an amazing drama.
Every episode was the same, they kept going with slow steps until the end, not adding twists or cliffhangers.
At the beginning, I thought it was good because I don't like those dramas when in the episode four the characters are already in love. But I watched the 4, the 5, the 15, the 18.... And it remained like that. All about jealousy and some cute scenes, but not much.
I think it was too long for that, only on the 23rd episode they start to show their feelings and a strong love... They could have make the drama shorter (16 episodes more or less) if they didn't know what to put more; they could show their strong love around the 16th episode and then add somehow a twist, like his dad almost dying or the cousin stealing the throne, and make the female character to support him or something....
The drama was a bit boring, I was waiting for more.
But It's still a great drama, and it's really funny :)

The actors chemistry is definitely superb. They made me smile and cry at the same time. The "Romeo x Juliet" story was totally heart breaking, and a lot more well-done.
The plot was the thing that made be more excited and, at the same time, more upset. They rush the first episodes, where the viewer watch their feelings for each other,making us confused about how their feelings were so deep.
The plot was damn exciting, every episode had their own twist. That was annoying sometimes, but it was worth it. I even thought they could have just done 16 to 18 episodes, but now I regret that thoughts. However, the ending didn't satisfy me.Although I liked it, it seems they all fought for something they didn't achieve. All the moments in the story that made us laugh and cry happened in vain, basically.
Despite everything, it's definitely a good drama. You should watch it for sure :)

This drama gets addictive from the beginning to the end. I was really curious to see how it would end.
The actors performed really well, and to see Kim Bum in such a role, I almost drooled *o* The main lead was absolutely exceptional, too.
The plot... I don't usually watch dramas like those, so for me it was really amazing. I was afraid it would finish badly, but I kept watching it.
The only thing I wish they could have done better was develop a few things more like why did Min Ho got stabbed and what was the relationship between the four of them or the ending, I was hoping Kang Chil to get cured but the story just ends it without any advice. It makes us think all their effort were a bit worthless.
Still, it's a drama that has a good message and it lived up to my expectations!
This is really an amazing drama. Watch it :)

But even if I didn't like it... I had to watch this. I have to confess that what made me watch it was Mizobata Junpei. Yeah, that hot piece of an actor that I always admired on all his works.
But soon I fell in love with the movie itself. I wish they could have developed more their relationship after or other characters as well but it didn't disappoint me. I wish i could watch and see more of Junpei!
Usually I don't watch japanese dramas/movies because its humour is too exaggerated. But this has the right charge of humour even though some stuff I'd take out.
For me this movie is really perfect!!! Watch it, you won't regret it!

The plot as fine but it kept the same from the beginning to the ending. No twists and no additional characters to make it more interesting, everything was about the same thing - Yang Eun Bi.
This drama is a lot cliché and for me the main girl is annoying. Maybe that's one of the reasons I couldn't bear with it.
The drama doesn't get deeper about the characters, while other dramas have a lot of happenings in 16 episodes and make us love/understand the characters more this drama just kept being the same, the plot was repeated all over again.
The only thing that was worth it was the beginning of the last episode. I didn't skip any part there, it was funny and romantic and it had feeling. But of course they needed to ruin everything after with the quick flow.
Overall I didn't like this dramas. My high expectations got really low. It's a drama cliché, it has some funny moments but that's all.

It's a good drama. Yet, it can be somehow surrealist in a way. The manny seems an angel who came to help them and nothing more. He seems not to have any flaws and that bothers me a bit.
In comparison, the mom is totally irresponsible and one of the kids is really rude. If you're finding a way to educate your kids, don't follow it. Aside from him, those characters have a lot of flaws. I'm still 18 but I have the perfect notion how we shouldn't educate a child. And I deal with them every week so I know what I'm talking about.
Back to the drama, watch it. I honestly watched because I'm a sucker for dramas with children but this kept me watching from other reasons other than the children.
Just one thing i'm unhappy about are the latest episodes. It seems they condensed all the drama parts in the last one and the ending was not even satisfactory. It seems to have a season two, I hope so, I really do.

The story was interesting. The description is a lot interesting and make us wanting to watch. Also the cast is good.But I have learnt that sometimes they have the best cast but the drama turns to be a deception. This was not an exception.
It was a really slow drama and kinda childish for me. The effects, the stops of characters to know what they're thinking, the evil shadows coming from her...
I think overall it was a cute drama, good specially for people between 10-16 years old (at least i think so). I think it has a message as well but it got lost somewhere in the middle with the slow rhythm.
If you watched and were like me, we wanted to see Da Lung's transformation quickly, right? But i got disappointed to see the new guy, he was basically like the old Da Lung, just the old looks changed. I thought he'd be more mature and cool but not.
Even, as a Da Lung of 4 years old later, he should have grown up right? Bt he didnt. I mean, if he was educated in a very strict society and didnt know about the world, when he does, 4 years later, he is the same innocent one from before?
I already said it, i didn't like this drama. This turned to be totally appart from my expectations. People told me good stuff about this drama so it disappointed me even more.
I really like taiwanese dramas but this one was too typical. I looked at it and it almost seemed animes to me xD
Anyway, the actors are good and the acting is good. You will like it if u dont like realistic dramas.

Anyway, for me, if you're watching this because of Mike He forget it. Just forget it. His character brings shame to him. He portrayed it well, as always, but it just doesn't fit him. You know his magic spell, that one he always had in his other dramas? This drama is only saved by his presence bt yet it doesn't even let you see that sparkle of him. His character is really low, at least for me.
The main actress too... she doesn't know how to act. She's too automatic, and doesn't fit with Mike He. I heard opinions saying that was because she was not used to good girls roles but still, it's awful.
The drama scenes doesn't seem real and the character feelings as well. They didn't really develop the story and thats a pity.
For me it was not a worthy drama. Ive been looking for more opinions, thought.
The first episode is quite okay but later it just gets worse and worse.
There's not emotions, I can't feel anything from the drama and i think the things we get the most from dramas and make us like it more are the feelings the drama gives us.
I'll quote here a review of blog.dramafever.com: "Calling for Love is not a bad drama. It’s even fairly charming in its own low-key way. But a cast of talented actors seems wasted in a drama that can best be described as inoffensive."
I don't really like to tell people bad comments that make them not watch it.. but after this drama i cant think otherwise.

I think the drama is really cool and romantic. Not only romantic but also funny. I'm strict with dramas in general and a little thing can ruin it for me but this was the first time ever i rewatched a drama! And i dont regret it.
It's the type of drama you watch and want to watch it more and more... It's true that sometimes Yunho's expressions are similar, but his character and the drama itself teaches a lot of things!
Mixing Yunho and Go Ara was the best thing. I love everything about this drama, you should give it a try. I can't find many dramas + romantic than these ;)

I started watching but in the middle i was like... what?... the story started being so boring, so repetitive that i just wanted to know the end and to end it soon. Nothing more special, they could do it a lot better. It was a delusion for me, really.
I only liked the actors.. As character i liked specially the Doctor (oh, is it difficult to know why? *-* but sometimes it'd get on my nerves) and Linda.
Linda was my fav of all the characters, i dont understand how can they do that to him :/ Not once but twice. I was shocked and after that moment i just couldn't like it as much as before. It's sth you just cant do to the viewers, i think.
The ending was unsatisfactory, comparing with all i suffered watching this. The beginning was s exciting, i really thought i'd love this and it would be pretty interesting but then...
I have to admit it, that made me so curious about twiter! And wanting to tweet like that with sm1... although i didnt think i'd have sm1 to talk with in that time ~
