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!~)

*********WARNING*********
******DO NOT WATCH THIS DRAMA IT IS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME******

Ok so yeah this was the worst drama I have ever watched & I have been watching dramas 4 the past 2 yrs now. I can not believe that the writers could do this 2 ppl. 1st of all it took 4-ever 2 get started, & there rly wasn't a story going on until about epi 15. They could have written 2 - 4 more epi's w/ the way the story was going after that. I am not upset about the dude dying b/c that is just part of some stories but it makes me wonder: WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH? Was I watching a romantic drama that had a little bit about fashion thrown in or was it a gangsta drama that had romance & fashion thrown in? I am so confused & I feel totally cheated out of like 21 hrs of my life. If there was a negative rating I could give this drama it would be like -6. Which is sad b/c I liked the actors. I just could not stand the characters they played or the story. It was HORRIBLE! PLZ PPL OUT THERE IN THE DRAMA WORLD.....DON'T WATCH THIS. SAVE URSELF & FIND SOMETHING ELSE 2 WATCH OR DO. Nething is better than watching this.

I rly liked this movie. It was special in its lightheartedness. I rly thought that compared to other movies/drama's that Ella is in that this 1 made her look very famine even though she is a bad@$$ defender of all women being bullied. She showed a special side to her in this drama. Of course I loved Mike He (I would watch him in anything). I don't know what it is but they had a chemistry together in this that was different.

I thought that the anime-esk parts to the movie were actually appropriate. They kept the movie from getting too serious, but it still had those serious moments that made my heart melt. This movie is cute & fun to watch. I rly would have loved for it to be a drama b/c I think I would have fallen in love more w/ the characters.

I think that if u watch it then u will enjoy it for more than just the eye-candy.

Wow what a crazy movie. Nothing made sense. OK it did but u have to understand crazy to get the meaning behind everything. This is not a movie just for entertainment & it sure is not for the family. There was all kinds of crazy in this movie. I don't mean "OMG I can't believe that happened" kind of crazy. I mean mental disorders out the owazoo kind of crazy. It wasn't a bad movie it was just complicated. The characters were complicated b-4 we entered their lives. I think that Korean writers have a knack for creating stories about ppl w/ mental disorders, b/c they can give u a look into what a persons life is like when that person doesn't control themselves with doctor prescribed medication. It is kinda scary. Even though it was all kinds of crazy, I enjoyed it. I can tell u this is not a movie for everybody. If u like complicated & crazy (like I do) then enjoy.

1st off I never got to c episodes 17 & 18 b/c I could not find a link to them anywhere. Damn u viki!



2nd, the acting was so cheesy I wanted to puke. I'm not saying all of it was bad just most of it. It was like watching ppl read lines at some points. Oh & the shit eating grins at the end b/c EVERY1 was SO happy was just ridiculous.



This drama was kinda like the Korean movie, but not as well acted. The dancing was nothing special b/c it did not flow well from the dancers. It was like the acting pieced together.



I say watch it if u want to but it's not that great. I finished it b/c I hate to drop things. Oh well not a complete waste of time but close. At least I liked the story behind it. I suggest that it be remade w/ ppl that can really dance.

I watched this w/ my Unnie yesterday. It was rly good. I enjoyed all the comedy (she didn't....just 1 way of how we r different). What I enjoyed the most is how AWESOME Kang Ji Hwan is as an actor. He totally throws himself into w/e role he is playing. He made nasty like super nasty. I can't believe he was able to gain that much weight and then loose it as quickly as he did plus buff it up. He is just AWESOME! I also enjoyed getting to see some "Flower Boys" in this. I love Lee Soo Hyuk's voice. There just aren't that many smexy guys w/ voices that make u melt like that. It's like an Asian chocolate rain voice. Anyway! I totally thought this was a rly good movie & I even made my Unnie stop & play certain parts again so I could make sure I saw what I did b/c it was just too funny. I don't think that this movie will let any1 down, even if u r not a comedy fan. It has serious parts & a little romance at the end. I invite every1 to give it a chance. I mean come on who doesn't like Kang Ji Hwan?

This movie scared me. I don't like scary movies but I did like this 1. There really wasn't ne music to speak of. So, I could not really say weather it was good or bad. It was different than what I expected. All the paranormal events built up to the end climax. I felt bad for the bro & sis b/c they did not have nething to do w/ the original person being haunted. Not really. This was filmed really well in documentary-esk feel. It made it easy to establish a more personal relationship w/ the characters. I really enjoyed it even though I don't like scary movies. I suggest others watch it if u r into that kind of thing & even if ur not (like me) it is still a good movie.

I wasn't going to write a review on this b/c I thought it was just good. I liked it but then again there were things that I didn't like. I get that Iris has a theme of sacrifice, but can't they have some happiness at the end? Just a little please!

Well other than that, the action was amazing. Not as epic at the 1st season, but still on lvl. Loved the characters. Lee Joon was like AWESOME! Loved his character as good then bad. He did such a good job & they used subtle differences in his appearance to make him look sinister. So awesome!

I rly didn't care for the romance part of the drama, b/c it was kinda covered up by the whole boss-subordinate relationship that they had. It felt more like a rly close friendship. But, w/e the story was still good.

I guess that watching the sisters together is like a hint for the next drama. HUMMMM Athena 2??? Maybe???

I don't mind suggesting that drama-lovers watch this 1. It has rly good action & continues to be true to the Iris style. ENJOY!

I have seen every version of this story b/c I rly like the story. If ur looking for a quick, very simple version of this story then this is the drama to watch. I personally prefer the Korean version for several reasons, but I won't list them here. I did enjoy this rendition of Mischievous Kiss. Like other remakes it is always being compared to those that came before. I am going to try to give an opinion w/o comparing.

The acting was alright. I thought that Miki Honoka kinda over acted her part, but I know that is romcom's in Japan r represented. I thought that Furukawa Yuki's acting was excellent. He did a very good job of playing his character and expressing emotion when necessary. I think it is harder to not express emotion as an actor b/c of all the emotion that a person feels on a regular basis. The rest of the actors did a job job and played their parts as they were meant to.

The speed of the drama was pretty fast but that was expected due to the amount of episodes that were produced. Big chunks of the story were left out, but were alluded to at some point.

Overall I thought it was an ok drama. I enjoyed watching it, but I prolly won't watch it again b/c there r other versions that I like more.

Of course I love the story b/c I have made it a point to watch all versions of this story. Cronologically this one is very different. The history of the characters is not the same as in the other versions. The acting (IMAO) is much better than the Japanese version, even though it is still kinda weak. The dorky laughing is what killed most of this for me. I was never a giggler and hate it when girls do that to act cute. It makes me sick. Watching this drama was almost like watching a Soap Opera here in America (really bad acting) only w/o the continuous relationship changes. I really hated the mother in this one. She was like pure evil in human form. How can a mother lie to her child and not feel guilt. I have an 11 yr old and there is nothing that she could ever do that would make me lie to her like that. I just don't understand her characters pov. She wants what is best for her son yet she does everything she can to hurt him b/c it is not what she wants him to do. As a parent u have to let ur children learn from their own mistakes, not force them to do as u want them to. That is not how they learn or grow. The fact that the father let her do these things make me really mad b/c he should have done something to stop his wife from being such a biatch. I mean really dude grow a pair and deal w/ ur psycho of a wife.



There is obviously a 2nd season to this, and I really want to finish out the story, but I may wait a while b/c this part took so long to get through. I just really hate to leave things unfinished. Which is y I will prolly go and watch the 2nd season of the Japanese version; even though I really hated it. Damn my inablity to leave things unfinished. I will suffer through it just b/c I can't leave the story like it is in my head. Yeah I even make myself finish crappy books too. Stupid OCD.

Ok Lee Min Ho is 1 of my fave actors & he did amazing in this action packed drama. The story was awesome, full of conspiracy & intrigue. The fighting scenes were done really well. Only 1 fight scene seemed weird b/c it was confrontation in 1 place then set up fight scene in another (in a basement or something like that). I really enjoyed the relationships that were brought to light from beginning to end. The concept of revenge is hard to deal w/ & this story deals w/ it very well. The ending left me wanting a little more from the romantic stand point, but over all I am happy w/ how things turned out. Enjoyed watching it & I recomend others watch it as well.

Well I finally finished it. I started this drama while it was airing but it took me this long to finish it. I thought that the story was very well written. Yoo Ah In was the bestest King ever! He's a "Fashion King" & now a historical King. I don't care what kind of king he is he is hot & pulls me into his acting so much that I rly empathize with his character. I know this is historical & that the story has been changed a little here and there. BUT, we have to admit that not one single person in this story is completely innocent of anything. They all had their own agenda & plan.

I enjoyed learning some history, but politics suck no matter when or where. It is so a subject I tend to avoid b/c it rly makes ppl mad & hateful. Which is the root cause of all the troubles in this drama. Some1 always trying to gain some kind of power over some1 else.

This type of drama is always interesting & totally hooks the viewer with this idea of "what if history happened this way?" I will not rewatch this drama, but I still thought it was very interesting & the acting was amazing. I recommend that others watch. ENJOY!

OK well this surly did not end how my sister would have liked, but I am happy! I thought that every1 got exactly what they deserved in the end.

I rly enjoyed watching this even though I personally thought there was just way to much crying. BUT considering all the trauma the main characters went through I guess I can understand. There was a lot to cry about. I thought the characters were rly well developed & that they pulled u into the drama. I was given many emotions & I thought that the actors were able to convey realistic emotions for each circumstance that the characters had to face.

Watching this drama reaffirmed my thoughts on how important it is to teach our children how to love others. The list of psychological disorders displayed in this drama were awesome. It was like getting to watch a case study unfold. B/c behavioral psychology is my thing, I enjoyed the references to "nurture" being the cause of the issues dealt with in this drama. I swear the writers of these types of drama's have to study psychology to be able to get all these situations down to an art.

I suggest that you watch this drama for several reasons: 1. eye-candy (rly hot guys...JS!) 2. emotional pull 3. realistic acting & 4. great ending. It has an Equator Man feel to it, b/c of all the psychological trauma, but it has a more realistic feel to the confrontations. I don't think that any1 will be disappointed. Enjoy!
