PLEASE WATCH THIS ONE! ... I have picked this only because it was short. No alternative motives, just a random pick. I do not regret it. Although it's designed for younger audience I truly enjoyed the plot of the story. Magic was involved and to be honest with you, couple times it gave me goosebumps. Some moments were funny too at the beginning, but mostly it's a sadder drama dealing with serious issues - I even cried at moments because the story moved me so much. I truly enjoyed this short drama because of its serious yet powerful message. The cast was not only cute but acted well and there was a cute chemistry between the couples. The uncle made me laugh from time to time there was also sad moments that made me think deep. I marathoned the whole thing in one shot and I have not regret it..... by the way, this drama is available on Dramacool and the only thing that should have been improved on was the message at the end.

I admit it -- I LOVED IT! Such a sweet story with tender kisses and a romantic plot. I watched it in 2 days, after which I felt I am walking on the cloud nine. I felt like Cinderella myself. The drama left me at peace, with warm feeling, smile and few verses that were so smart, I can't forget them. The kissing scenes were tender, and almost real. I was left with impression I just watched a real story drama. The main leads had the chemistry together, but Zhang Han left me with his image of not only a great Boss but a wonderful husband image. My most memorable and romantic moment?.... the way he watch her eat her lunches through his office, while she was unaware he was watching... the fact how he copied her, ate with her and smiled at her was tastefully done. For me it was one of those things that hit my heart and stayed there.... I like him as an actor a lot.

I did not know what drama I wanted to watch next, so I picked Birth of a beauty. Was not sure what to expect so I read the reviews first. From many people I got a sense that the story should be shorter, it was boring, acting was not so good etc. I decided to watch it, and to my surprise I liked it much better than expected! Actually the end did not drag and it was quite interesting. Of course a lot of things were kind of out of reality aspect but that did not bother me at all. Master's Sun was unreal too and I loved it! LOL
I loved both male leads - they were handsome, acting was good and plot too. For me 21 episodes was just right, and I did not skip. In fact I think people who skipped the episodes missed a lot as there was quite few interestings things to the story, so don't skip even if it seems slow to you.
This drama made me satisfied, the ending was as I would like, the main leads acted ok and the topic was interesting. I would like if she did not have so many plastic surgeries and instead perhaps went through half half of exercise, diet and reconstructive surgery, but it is what it is.
For me I have nothing negative to say about this drama. It was good. It did not grab me like other dramas, but I also have seen worse dramas than that.
I gave 8 rating value because I think if you give it a chance you will like it.
I loved the music in this drama. It grabbed me as OST from Secret Garden or Master's Sun. I really like the lyrics and the songs :)

This was one of those dramas that are unforgettable. Plot of the story is wonderful, acting professional and very good, music nice, but the views and romantic chemistry between the leads was out of this world. Such a powerful performance! Till the end the drama did not disappoint me, but the ending although satisfactory, looked too rushed to me. The main lead actress was not only beautiful, but playing a blind woman was to perfection and she could have fooled us all thinking how real it was. It was very real and she did outstanding job! I cried a little in this drama, I did not laugh, and my heart bled when watching those two leads performing with such deep emotions. You should not neglect this drama. Very maturely done, with great cast too. I gave it such a high rating because it deserves all the applause it should get. After watching it - you will have a completely different definition of love and what it stands for.

VERY MATURE drama dealing with affair, relationships and human emotions! This drama was picked up accidentally, and now, after watching it - it will remain on one of the great dramas dealing with mature subject matters. Acting was great, plot was well executed.This drama made you think, rethink, cry, hope and reflect on things.
I wish the ratings given here were much higher. Honestly, this drama is underrated!!!
Perhaps for young adults below 25 the drama would be mature to deal with, perhaps not, but for older audiences drama would be great and you will enjoy it immensely. I am still shaken by it.
All main actors, not only super handsome but also great acting in it. I honestly felt all the emotions portrayed in this story. What was great about this drama was the fact that deep in your heart you knew things were wrong and should not be done, but you understood and fell for the characters of the story and no sides were taken as both were justified and understood why it happen. This was a deep drama as I call it. Love, emotions, consequences, hurt, guilt and forgiveness played a huge role in this series. The drama effected me very much. I loved the level of maturity in it, the way things were presented. The main actress and main male leads did a wonderful job till the end!
This drama will be on the list of one of the great dramas that people should watch to see what happens when one wrong step is made and there is no return back but only consequence and regret is left afterwards.... This drama is a must watch!

Overrated? not sure, kind of feel like it's in the middle. One of the best performances by Lee Jong Suk seen by him. He really grew on me this time. I admit I was kind of so/so with his acting and I mostly saw a pretty face, but in Pinocchio - he surprised me in a good way big time. I don't think I will rewatch it as this series did not grab my heart as other dramas did, but saying that - I enjoy the drama very much. The story was interesting (unreal a little) but hey, why not having fun once in a while? Both leads did good job, the story was mysterious till the end and the ending satisfactory. Both leads looked pretty together. Chemistry? Yes, but more like a brother sister relationship or older father figure type of thing... I admit kissing scenes were much better with lead actress. She really improved in that area. She also looked like she suddenly looked prettier then ever. Young people in early 20s would enjoy the drama more I think. For a mid age cute chick as myself - it was a good but not memorable watch :)

There are dramas such as this, that pierce your heart deep. This is such drama. I don't have words how beautifully these series are created. This is not cheesy story plot, unrealistic plot or fairy tale - this is real life. Real life in Korea, from a perspective of parent, educator, neighbor, family member... This is one of those dramas I have to give rating of 10 in all categories. Kim Hee Ae should get an Oscar for this performance - it was so real, it became scary! This drama covers mature subject matters, emotions that will shift you right and left, and finally choices that would lead to consequences. This drama is a must to watch. There are few like this one - that if you watch it, your life would never be the same!... I can't give any spoilers, but all I can say is that, from the fist episode it grabbed me and could not let go. Perhaps for a young adult this would be too heavy to watch, but anyone who is married, have kids, especially a woman, should watch this. The affair did not become a main concern for me but what did was psychological effects of it, peer and neighbor pressure, various "polished" relationships that made this drama whole. Everything done here was brilliant, and I am not just saying that, it truly is a sad melodrama that no person should miss out. The female lead growth was spectacular. Brilliant "jewel" drama hidden among all other dramas, so please if you want something really mature - this one should be your next!.... tip: drama is available on dramacool

I watched all the drama in one shot. Did not sleep, but finished watching it around 3 in the morning. This drama was so beautiful, and moving it left a spot in my heart. Bae Yong Jun acting was lovely. He is a handsome man, even now being in his 40s. I got so sad that Park Yong Ha committed suicide in 2010 - such a talent gone. The plot of the story thickens as the episodes go by. The music is spectacular in this drama. It complements the plot that is also great.
I think this drama is one to be remembered. I wanted to cry so many times, but did not until the end. In the last 2 minutes of the show (end of it) I cried crocodile tears.... I also rewatched the last scene many times.
Watching this drama made me very sad, yet satisfied too. How love conquers all even during the hardest times and destiny playing a huge role in it makes this drama one of my favorite to watch.
I want to rewatch it, but i'm afraid, if I do.... I would cry all the time during it. I might be not ready for it as this kdrama is so beautifully composed. No wonder, Winter Sonata is loved by so many..... I totally agree... If you are ready for a sad and breathtaking story, this one should not be neglected.
(watch it on dramafever or Yidio)

One of the best dramas I have seen because of the most natural acting and love two leads have. You need to give this drama a chance from the start and by 3rd episode you will feel the essence of this spectacular series. If we could all have as pure and natural love as those two had in this drama - we all would be living in paradise. This was one of those series that are unforgettable. The main leads and their love for each other, every word, gesture, movement, eye contact was so real and so powerful whatever obstacles they had to conquer they did. It was done with perfection. Those two should win the best couple awards! This drama should be rewarded for its writing, acting, realism, and much more. After watching 16 beautiful episodes, I feel like I ate the most delicious meal and all cravings had been satisfied. Closing my eyes I see the best couple and love they had for each other and wish we all have this kind of experience and happiness always!
When I started to watch it, gradually, things started to evolve into a beautiful conversations, and for once I envied the main couple for their real such open and natural relationship. I am not a jealous person by any means but this series made me envy those two what they have accomplished.
If you don't watch it from beginning to end you would never know what you have missed! This drama will change your life and view of love should be!

I admit, I started to watch this drama only based on reviews that were high. So I said, why not and the marathon began! .... I kept watching till 8th episode when i kind of was saying to myself, great story line, good acting, funny at times, likable all right but it kind of did not pierce my heart like other dramas did in the past, but I kept watching.... Around the 9th episode things started to kind of get to me in a better way, I really enjoyed it more, I liked what I have seen more, I started to be emotional, so I knew that drama is staring to work on me :) From episode 13 up I simply dried my eyes with a lot of tissues. That was it! The drama got me at the end, the last episode was ending and I was saying, hey, I really liked it. It was DIFFERENT, it was WELL DONE and it was fun to watch.
The main leads acted well, OST was great in the drama, and I got a feeling perhaps they will make a season 2 based on the ending too. The plot of the story dealing with life and death was tastefully done, and it was a very different drama plot from what usually is made. That is why these series should be watched by all :)

It took some time for me to watch this drama. Why? Simply because I was not sure if I wanted to continue after first episode. But... since the ratings were high and reviews too, I gave another try, and I'm glad I did. It was a good drama. Slower but had so much wisdom it was amazing to watch it. Bo-Lin Chen was amazing as an actor and as a character he became the most romantic perfect husband to be in my eyes. I am sure every woman wants to meet and marry a person like him :) The theme song grew on me and by the end of the drama I was humming like a bird (music since I don't speak Mandarin). There is only 13 episodes but each is almost 90 min long so it's like watching over 20 - 45 min ones :) I basically marathoned all in 24 hrs. I shed few tears, but did not cry a lot. What moved me in this drama is the logic and perfectly written script.
The drama is slow paced, but highly recommended. You will learn what is valuable in life and how friendship and love are essential in successful relationship.

For a long time I wanted to watch this drama, but I postponed it thinking it might be not so interesting and too sad. Well, I have finished it today and I must say - it was a perfect story with a bittersweet ending. I cherished every episode, and what real happiness and love can accomplish. There is so many sentences and messages in this drama that can teach so many of us about what real happiness means. What amazed me in this story is that if someone has a cancer the other half hardly survives looking at the other sick person and what about if that patient dies after? But this movie shows how powerful love can be! The main leads incredible acting, and love for each other moved me in such ways that I have not only cried but also looked at life in a completely different angle. We should all learn from this movie, learn how to really love, life and breath happiness. All actors performance was brilliant, and main leads should get an Oscar for theirs. This drama scored 10 in all categories for me. I could not give lower review because this drama is above and beyond brilliant!!! If you want to watch it, you need to be strong, have a lot of tissues by your side towards the end of it and pay attention to messages in this drama. For me the most memorable was the tango dance, the bucket list, the simple I love you. For me this drama was beyond my expectations. It was more than perfect and it stuck in my heart like a thorn that won't be pulled away anytime soon!

It took me 24 hrs to finish this show! Can you make season 2 please?
This kdrama was a breath of a fresh air. It was funny, and I mean funny and Louis was too cute! I mean cuteness to max extend! Like Louis said TOTALLY MY STYLE! lol
I really did not want to watch anything complicated, but something heartwarming, and yes! What a treat it was! Music, cast, production fit well but main leads were just total cuteness to die for! I am still laughing at how great Louis character was and how funny!
I don't want to say no more because honestly I loved it so much that I want to watch something like this again! .............. totally my style!
