I went into this w/ no expectations and came out standing right in the middle of a line that I am not sure I want to cross either way. So let me list the pros and cons for this drama.

1. Good story. Lack of acting skills.

2. Smexy guys. Cute at times but annoying lead chick.

3. Amazing sub-storyies. Annoying as hell, whinny-ass acting.

4. Non-interfearing parents (on both sides). Um did I say lack of acting skills alrdy?

5. Funny ass music w/ certain situations. I know I said something about lack of acting skills, right?



As u can see the biggest turn off for me was the lack of acting skills especially the lead actress (Yu Reen). I loved the Aaron Yan's acting in this. It kinda reminded me of Kim Hyun Joong in Playful Kiss at times. I thought that Cynthia Wang did an amazing job in her role. I personally thought she would have made a better lead except that she has a more mature look. I really did not like the guy who played opposite her, b/c he acted like a baby half the time.



Neways good story and the music at times was the best b/c it added an element of funny that u can't get anywhere else. I enjoyed it but prolly won't watch it againg b/c I don't think I could sit through the bad acting again. But it wasn't a total waste of time b/c it made me laugh.

I have to start off by saying I love Mike He.



OK! Now that I got that out of my system here is what I thought about this drama. The story was awesome. I loved it! The best part was that Yun Jie did not have a conflict concerning his emotions toward Yong Yong and his ex. There were a lot of experiences that happened in the drama that made it different, but there were so many similarities to other dramas that it made it very predictable.



Now the music was ok, but there were parts where it sucked. I really enjoyed it when the music kinda conveyed a sense of humor along w/ the scene. The actress playing Yong Yong was amazing. I loved how she showed emotion but was holding it back. I want to see her in more dramas b/c she was the reason I kept watching (well besides Mike).



Even though this drama was kinda slow I will prolly watch it again in the future. IMAO I think others will enjoy it as well.

Y do I love movies that make me want to cry? I knew what was going to happen the whole time I watched it, but I was still touched by how sweet & innocent the actors portrayed their characters. It is difficult to say that the ending was either happy or sad. It just depends on how each individual looks at things.

There are several things that I liked about this movie. Not only was the acting moving, but the time progression was well done. I didn't feel like the movie dragged or moved to fast. I enjoyed the main characters b/c the both pulled u in & made u see things from their point of view. I rly enjoyed the honesty from Shizuru. Miyazaki Aoi has an innocence about her that not many actress are able to pull off. I just realized that she was in "Nana". Which if u ask me is an awesome movie also. She should have been in "Nana 2" then I would have watched it.

I think that every1 should give this movie a chance. It was better than expected & left me w/ good feelings. I hope u give it a try. ENJOY!

This drama killed me w/ laughter. There were so many funny parts that I just can't pinpoint 1 moment that was the funniest. I enjoyed the story even though it kinda fizzled in the middle, but it picked up again in the last few episodes. I loved how the actors complimented each other so well. They had the best chemistry that I have seen in drama. The supporting and lead actors were so right for each other & were the reason I wanted to continue watching when it got a little boring. I wish they had gone more into detail about his disorder b/c knowing why he had panic attacks would have been nice. It just seemed like he had panic attacks when he was around large groups of ppl. If they wanted to be more specific his diagnosis would be Social Phobia. I have to say I loved No Eun Seol's immersion therapy techniques that is what made me laugh the most.



As u can tell I rly liked this drama & will be watching it again in the future b/c it rly made me laugh. I hope every1 that watches it enjoys it as much as I did.

I rly liked this movie. I love nething that is paranormal/supernatural. This to me is kinda like the movie w/ Bruce Willis & Samuel L Jackson "Unbreakable." The end was a little off, but I can deal w/ it b/c that is how the movie ended. I was rly surprised that they actually had non-Korean actors that could speak the language fluently & act at the same time. Most non-native speakers r thinking too much about the words that something is lost in the acting. One of my only probs w/ Kdrama/Jdrama/etc. is that not a single person knows how to give CPR or do basic wound care/. But I guess that is my own hang up b/c I work in the health field & have had to use the skills at some point in time in the past 12 yrs. For me if these skills were included then it would lend a sense of reality to more shows/movies. Even if the ppl died at least the hero/heroin tried more than just shaking the person & yelling their name, "open your eyes," or "wake up."



Neways, back to the movie! I don't think that ne1 could say this is not a good movie (but there r some dumb-asses our there). This movie is full of excitement but not in a physical fighting kind of way. It is more suspenseful in that u don't know what the "bad guy" (Kang Dong Won as Cho-In)is going to do next. It kept me on edge the whole time.



If ur reading this review I recommend that u watch this movie & see what it is about. ENJOY!~)

OK. 1st of all I am so glad to finally have this drama off my currently watching list. It took me like a month & 1/2 to finish the last 2 episodes after the drama was over. I have to say that it wasn't a bad drama, it was just long & drawn out. All the palace intrigue made me want to kill myself from waiting for ppl to actually get a dang clue. U would think after the same ppl committed the same conniving plot over & over again that some1 would just point @ them & the situation would be done. @ least the King @ the end knew that some1 was plotting against his fave guy (Ji Sung aka Ji Sang...LOL) & his son. Grats to the man for getting smarter after all that time. I wish that he had wised up sooner.

What I just don't get is if ur the king y in the name of all that is holy do u have to follow anybodies kind of law? As king don't u make the law? That is how things would work if I was ruler of any country. What Mel says goes ppl & the rest of u mugs just have 2 deal w/ it...mawhahahaha!

Oh well! It was an ok drama, but I rly am not into all the palace b/s that was part of this drama. Historical drama's r just not my thing. They r interesting in the fact that they have such a long history & can make a drama out of all that (unlike here in the US where we only have 200 yrs of history & it is all a bunch of convoluted b/s). Watch it if u want it isn't bad, but expect it to be rly slow at times & the whole story drawn out w/ a lot of b/s.

Oh Thx again for a wonderfully done historical Kdrama. I only wish that American had such an interesting history.

Now to the story. Loved it! I was slightly upset that my fave actor in this drama died. Yoo Seung Ho was the bestest! I loved him in "4th Period Murder Mystery". I loved the acting & thought that all the actors had great chemistry. I love the music b/c of the feeling it gives. I wish that they changed it up a little more, but it was still good. I have new fave actors b/c of this drama. I will watch this historical drama again over others 1. b/c it was short, & 2. b/c I love the actors. I believe that if u like historical dramas then u will like this 1. I actually cried when my fave actor died (which totally means a lot b/c I don't cry for ne reason). Watch it & enjoy!~)
