I really enjoyed this version of the F4. I have to say the Korean version is my favorite. This version is really good and I would watch it again for the story b/c it is so different from the others. I had some trouble getting through the Japanese version b/c of the really bad acting and the throw back to the 80's. The only problem I had with watching Meteor Garden was the music. Man who thought of using those REALLY old songs that no1 listened to in the 1st place. It was like being forced to listening to the Bee Gee's w/ my mom when I was a kid. Other than that it was pretty good. Even though there were times it really pissed me off the story would fill out and make me happy again. They should remake this version w/ better music. Please ppl when you watch don't equate it to the other versions b/c each version focuses on a different aspect of the story and that is what makes them so enjoyable to watch. You never get the same story twice. Enjoy it for it's originality and different perspective.

This movie rly got to me & made me cry @ 1 pt. I could hear Bok Shil's pain in her tears in the last few epi's. It was the emotions of not wanting to hurt her mother but hurting b/c she was unable to be w/ the person she loved at the same time. The drama was harsh in reality especially concerning the feelings between the two lead characters. What made this drama an all 10 drama was the excellent balance b/t the comedy, serial moments, & cuteness. I recommend that if ur thinking about watching this then do so, b/c I don't think u will be disappointed.

While watching this drama I thought that this was some strange attempt to mimic the comedy of jdramas & tdramas. I was very confused. At times I was a little blown away w/ how serious the situations were meant to be. It kinda felt like they solved a problem then they decided to move on to the next one. I thought that the whole "story within a story" plot was a little interesting. It was a little strange that her story went in the same direction as the story she was writing for her internet novel. Like she alrdy knew subconsciously. Oh well, It was rly just a weird drama all around.

I rly loved this movie. It's like seeing crazy from a crazy person's perspective. It was great. I thought that it was acted rly well. The fact that Rain's character steals things was cool, b/c u figure out that he doesn't steal just items. I rly think that korean writers have studied psychology & that is y they r so good at showing things from such amazing perspectives. I suggest that u don't pass this 1 up b/c it has more to it than just crazy ppl in a mental hospital. It has a rly human connection. I enjoyed it & think others will too.

Ok I cried! This was a very good drama. It will stay w/ me forever b/c it was tragic. I'm not going to tell u what happened, but I will say that it was awesome & it killed me. The acting was good. I loved the main characters. If they remade this drama they could prolly add several episodes to allow for a little more character growth & not loose anything. It would only make it better. Rly good drama that will make just about any1 cry from sadness & happiness @ the same time.

My Unnie suggested this drama. I thanked her several times while watching. This is one of the best melodrama's I have ever watched. NO1 in this drama is perfect or very forgiving. I was enthralled the whole time. Even though I was able to guess what was coming next they did it in such a way that it made me happy. I love the ending & everything that lead up to it. It made me feel good that ppl in the drama got exactly what they deserved. I loved the acting even though the music was too much & tried to make thing seem more dramatic than was necessary, b/c the expressions on the actors faces were amazing enough. Watch this drama I don't think any1 would regret it.

This is one of those "feel good" drama's. It is just what u would expect from the beginning to the end. The fact that every1 is happy at the end is like totally expected.

I enjoyed this drama even though it is not like a personal fave b/c there r several other drama's that I have watched that rank so much higher.

But, I can tell you I will watch more of Kim Sun Ah. I enjoyed her acting. She gave off the exact vibe a person would have if they were alone & the difficult transition to being part of a family that she didn't plan. She made her character seem real to me. The fact that she only showed emotion to the 1 person that made her feel out of her comfort zone is exactly how I would see this going in reality. I knew that she had feelings for both male leads b/c of this. Both made her feel uncomfortable & they were elements in her life that she could not control.

Lee Jang Woo's character was just too cute. Even when he was serial it was still cute. I will be looking in to more of his work also. He rly surprised me. He not only had a comedic side, but a serial side to him as well. He did a good job in balancing these parts of Park Tae Kang's personality.

I think that most ppl will like this drama b/c it leaves u w/ a good feeling of "all is right in the world." But, I am sure there r some that will not like this drama b/c it doesn't pull ppl in like other drama's this season. Even so, It is a good solid drama; that I will recommend to other drama addicts to give a try.

I rly enjoyed this drama. I loved the chemistry b/t the 2 leads. I loved how their rxn's were very much how ppl would react in the rly world. I enjoyed the fact that all the supporting chara's were more realistic than what u see in most dramas. I was left wanting to know more about their story at the end, but the ending was still good. Over all it was a great story & I loved the acting. I will be watching this drama again b/c it left such a realistic impression on me.

This movie left me w/ a warm & fuzzy feeling. I know it has it's "bad" element to it, but u just can't help but smile almost all the way through. There were a few parts that were rly funny & made me laugh so hard I woke up my hubby. If u watch this then ur going to like it (IMAO). Enjoy!~)

I absolutely loved this drama. I have found that the Taiwanese actors/actresses don't usually display the emotions of their characters very well but this drama floored me. I loved the way each character was portrayed. The rxns of the characters were right on & were believable. I wish that Tong Dae was a little more inappropriate in his rxns but he was believable in that he was trying to display normal rxns to fool the ppl around him. This drama seemed to question if murders r born naturally or born from circumstance.



I don't know how ne1 could not enjoy watching this drama, but I am sure that if u don't like to look at the tragic side of life & the struggle to live through it, then u will not like this drama. My wisdom of the day is: U r only a victim if u act like 1.

Two words "F-in Awesome" (edited language just for MDL). I loved this movie. That they use the actual movie script for the movie that is being made in the movie is like the ultimate irony (wow that was confusing). I really enjoyed watching this movie. I loved how every1 got so involved that what was supposed to be movie was confused w/ what was supposed to be reality. It was amazing and think every1 else will enjoy watching it.

I liked the story of this drama. I just want to know in what law book does it say that u have to like ur family? There r a couple of mine that I would not spit on if they were on fire and screaming for help. Ok I'm not really that heartless but I still don't have to like them. Besides spitting is a really nasty thing to do and I would not do it unless I was choking.



I liked the acting but the character Gun-Hee got on my nerves a little b/c he is always yelling. It's like "hello fog horn alert!" He is a classic behavioral psychology case (oppositional defiant disorder), inappropriate displays of emotion (yelling, hitting, calling names). He kinda reminds me of my k-9th graders at work and I diagnosed them all w/ "spoiled brat syndrome."



I liked it and might watch it again at some point but it's not on the top of my list of "crack dramas." I suggest that others watch it b/c it will take u through a ring of emotions that some dramas just can't touch. Enjoy it for what it is and don't try to make more out of it like I do.

Well the drama was good but it wasn't the bestest drama EVER. I enjoyed most aspects of it. The eye-candy mostly (Lee Min Ho, Woo Bin, Jin Hyuk, Kang Ha Neul, & the rest of the male gender of this drama...LOL!) I'm not sure y but when they make ppl that I know r old enough to be in college play roles as high school kids I just have issues. It just seems very unrealistic. Which is exactly what I was looking for when I started this drama. So not once was I disappointed about how much bs was thrown in my face. That being said; I enjoyed the drama very much. I rly didn't care what type of role Lee Min Ho was in I just wanted to watch him act. I think this drama did point out 1 thing that lots of adults forget. Life is hard for a kid when they r 18. As we get older we forget that at that age there is a lot of pressure on them to make some heavy life choices. And that they will sometimes make mistakes. I was rly glad that this drama showed that the parents weren't perfect & that their children were privy to the bad choices that they made (even if they didn't know all the details).

Overall it was a good drama. There were hot guys, cute girls, good (but typical) story line, music was so-so, & I got some laughs out of it. I would recommend others watch it. ENJOY!~)

This drama had a good story & the acting was really spot on. I enjoyed it & was left with a good warm feeling in the end. But this is not the best drama that I have ever watched. It explored things that r strong issues, but it didn't make them a huge issue like other dramas I've watched. I enjoyed the relationship b/t the 2 leads. It had a realistic feeling 2 it. Good drama can't wait 2 see the next 1 that is in this "school life" series.

I rly enjoyed watching this not only b/c I watched the anime, but b/c it was so well done. Rly awesome fight scenes. Even though this is a live action movie based on anime it was able to bring u into the characters lives while telling the story. So, u get a feeling of knowing the characters w/o loosing any of the story. I will watch this again, and suggest others watch it. If u don't like anime this doesn't have that anime feel to it. It is so well done that the anime feeling doesn't come out.
