Ok! So I gave this an overall score of a 6 b/c it was not amazing but it was not horrible either. I really liked the story and the cast was ok. For some reason the acting caught me as authentic and at other times like they were reading from que cards. The acting at times was very stilted and the chemistry between characters was off a little. I could not stand some of the music that was played. Like y play music that obviously means something bad is going to happen when what is happening is really not that bad? The music just did not feel right in some scenes.



I prolly will not watch this again unless I am in the mood to watch something about hair, but I do not think it was a waste either. I enjoyed it but think it could have been better at times. If others watch it I think they will enjoy it, but it prolly will not be something that sticks in ur head or jumps out as a fave.

I liked this movie b/c it made the girl out to be smart. She at least does the right thing for herself when in most dramas and movies the lead chick always does everything she can for that one guy. Well this chick made a decision that worked better for her in the end rather than catering to some jerk ass male that did not appreciate her in the 1st place. K so now that I am done man bashing I can talk about the quality of the movie.



Well I liked the acting b/c it felt real. The rxns shown by the actors was exactly how u would think it would be in RL. I enjoyed the movement from place to place and the changing of time. U know me if I don't notice the music then it was good but in this some of the music was too loud but I am able to ignore those things after the inital affect it has on me.



I read a review of this movie and it said something about this movie being the first that was done completely in Manadrin and is focused more on the local audience. I think that is great b/c I believe that one way to increase happiness in ur ppl is to entertain them. Even though the economy is not great here and we r just trying to get by. I still try to take the family out to a movie every once in a while b/c it is almost always a good experience that makes a happy memory. Every1 needs that feeling. I am glad the Hong Kong movie biz is doing that for the ppl (not to mention the money).

So it took me a couple of days to finish this drama. I have to say I really enjoyed it. I thought the story line was well done & that all the main characters had good chemistry. I liked that it was a well written mix of comedy and romance. I have to say that the only draw back for me was having to listen to them "smack" their food while they ate. Noises like that just grate on my nerves. I understood what they were trying to do by putting those parts in there, but it still drove me crazy enough that I had to mute it while the were eating sometimes.

The main characters did an excellent job of acting out their characters parts. I thought the main couple was cute as well as all the characters.

I rly didn't pay attention to the music which is usual for me unless it is amazing.

I will prolly watch this again in the future especially when I want to look up interesting food.

Overall it was a good drama & I recommend others watch it.

Well this was a drama that I could have watched more of. I was totally engrossed in the lives of all the characters. If they decide to make a 2nd season of this show I would totally watch it. I personally felt that some of the story was left unfinished. I heard that they were going to do a special for this drama. IF ever a drama needed 1 this would be it.

I worked w/ kids that were kicked out of public school b/c of their bx. So, I kind of know what some of the kids were going through. Teaching kids at that age the difference b/t right & wrong is extremely hard. They r like adults & don't know how to bend very easily. They r "stuck in their ways," so to speak. The way the teachers dealt with the students was good & bad, but it made me rly get into the lives of the teachers.

The questions that were asked throughout the drama are some that will never be answered. "Whose fault is it when children act inappropriately, the parents or the teachers?" The blame is & will always be passed around, b/c no1 wants to be responsible. Not only is this drama interesting, but it has a lot to teach us about these issues.

I would suggest that every1 who watches this look for the deeper meaning behind the troubled youths bx. Try to understand what is underneath all the anger. This drama to me had a sense of reality that other dramas don't have. I think that is 1 of the main reasons I enjoyed it so much. I think that the main point is that there is no 1 answer to every problem, & that relying on others when u need help is not wrong.

I enjoyed every minute of this drama & am sad that I won't be able to watch more. Even though I wrote about the seriousness of the drama, it was also fun. I hope u all can enjoy it as much as I did.

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.

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.

Idk about every1 else, but I thought this drama was rly good. Most Taiwanese dramas r either over acted or just weird in the chemistry b/t the leads. This 1 I thought was rly well balanced. I loved Jiro Wang & Rainie together. They had rly good chemistry b/c they played their parts very well. I thought Rainie did a good job playing an introverted personality. Jiro never lets me down in his acting. I love the way he can express himself. He has a easy to approach fun loving attitude but an amazingly handsome serial (Mel for serious) side to him. Even when he is angry his facial expression is handsome.



I rly loved this drama & I will be watching it again.

This drama was cute & funny. I enjoyed it all the way through. I don't think that there was much that I had a problem with. The ending was even full of sunshine & roses...LOL! It was a good drama & I think everyone will enjoy. I rly don't feel like breaking it apart and piecing it back together, b/c I feel that would just be a waste of time. I tried to just enjoy it for the entertainment value, which was not hard to do since it was full of hot guys that did cute things even when they r being all manly. So basically it was a good drama that will make everyone happy in the end. Enjoy!

I just finished watching this drama. At 1st I was turned off by the "not up to par" acting that was taking place. 1 of the only reasons I finished it was b/c I got so caught up in the story. I loved the story but think the characters could have been better developed by a different set of actors/actresses. Besides the lack of chemistry b/t actors & unfortunate lack in ability to express those characters appropriately, I rly thought that the story was awesome. At times I was turned off b/c of the acting but then something new would happen & I would have to continue to watch to see how that new problem was resolved. I also thought that the music placement & type of music at times was either lacking in intensity or inappropriately placed. I would watch this drama again if it was redone w/ different actors/actresses just b/c I rly loved the story concept.

Drama lovers if u watch this try to remember that the story keeps getting better even if the acting is not that great. It wasn't a complete waste of time & I like the actors/actresses in it just not together.

I enjoyed the story of the tortured soul of the vampire. I particularly liked the ending b/c it was a completion to the never ending cycle of hate & killing that surrounded Kai & Sho. The relationship b/t Kai & Sho was particularly interesting. I really liked this movie & will watch it again. The music was really good & I will be looking for the soundtrack. Enjoy!~)

Ok I really liked the story line, the acting was good but sometimes had an American day time drama feel to it. Especially during the love triangle moments. I liked the side story of the sister. The traditional Korean life made this very intersting b/c it showed a sense of responsibility and duty that most Americans don't have toward their family. I have always thought that having a family that supports each other is better than being left out in the world all alone. This shows some major differences in how ppl think about family and what they consider their responsibility. This drama makes u think about traditional family values and what you believe to be most important in ur life. Enjoyed watching it & I will revisit it later when I want that feeling of warmth that u get from being w/ ur family.

Even though this movie was slow, it was one of the best movies I have ever watched. I loved it. The story was amazing. The actors/actresses did the best job in their roles. The music fit perfectly. I will watch this over and over. I don't know if others will enjoy it as much as I did b/c it is very different from what is expected. When I read the synopsis I had a totally different pic of what would happen. I am glad that my imagination was not as well thought out as the actual movie. Enjoy this movie w/ an open mind b/c it is not filled w/ action or drawn out in drama fashion. I have to put this one on my fave list.

I don't know anything about this movie other than the movie itself. And, I thought it was amazing. The actors/actresses conveyed the emotion of the characters so well that I actually cried and I hate to cry. I really enjoyed all aspects of this movie and will watch it again. Others watch it and enjoy.

I really liked this movie. The story was wonderful. I would love to see this in a drama w/ the same actors/actresses but I figure that won't happen. The music was good except it was too loud in certain areas. I will watch this again b/c it was adorable. I think others will enjoy it also b/c it is full of love and fun.

I really liked this drama. I thought that the lead characters could have been a little more understanding toward each other. I am an old fashion girl so when u r married that is it. No1 else should interfere with what goes on b/t the couple. Ppl from past relationships should know better and have respect for the situation that the two r in. "I can't have him/her so no1 else can either" is a really ugly way to behave and this is a major concept in this drama. I will watch it again b/c I really liked the story and the actors.
