Man did I enjoy watching this drama. It kills me that I have to give it such a low score, but I can totally explain. I loved the story, but it was totally killed by the inept actors & terrible special effects. I loved the whole mafia king pin falling in love w/ a genius tomboy. It is a great idea. I just wish that the actors were more able to make their acting believable. Also I don't think I have seen such bad special effects since my dad quit making me watch 80's B-movies. The use of music in this drama was way over done. There were long periods of silence from the characters filled w/ music that didn't actually coincide w/ the mood that the silence was meant to invoke. The story has such potential and was very interesting. I am going to say that b/c the Thai drama industry is so inexperienced they r still learning how to create more realistic drama's. Even though it had many problems it drew me in. I was hooked in the story. I enjoyed the story that much.

OOOOO! What a great psychological thriller! I rly enjoyed figuring out the back story & deciding who was responsible for the events that took place. I don't want to give away anything that happened in the movie. So, I will just say that this was a very good movie & kept me on edge the whole time. I hope that you enjoy watching as much as I did.

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 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!~)

I know I am giving this an overall of 8, but to me that is rly rly good. I would have given it a higher score & I might edit my rating if later I have the urge to watch it again and again. Like for some reason I have the urge to watch A Gentleman's Dignity again. Can't explain y, but I rly want to watch that drama again. Now if Secret Love can make me feel like that at some point, then I say my overall rating could bump up a spot to 9.

OK! So Y was this drama so good. I think that it brought out an ugly truth about life & how hard it can be for anyone. No matter if u have all the money in the world or if u r dirt poor. It made no difference in this drama. Every1 had huge scars. Even the minor players had some bad stuff in their closet.

When they totally dropped that BOMB in epi 15 I was all like..."OMG r we about to have an extension..." But I didn't figure that would happen this close to the end of the drama. Not like they r going to spring something like that this late in the game.

The ending was alright! The last kiss scene killed me. They made it seem like they knew each other well off screen....if u know what I mean (wink, wink, hint, hint). Good job actors. & Good job writers for keeping me totally interested. I thought the last epi was a little hurried, but they finished it up nicely & covered all their bases.

Rly good drama! I enjoyed every emotional roller coaster ride minute of it.

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.

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!

Wow! That movie was just bad all around. I watched it for ZE:A. I thought "hummmm maybe it will be 1/2 way decent." No it was bad. There's just too much that I could talk about that didn't work. So I will limit myself to just a few things. The cinematography was supposed to make it feel like a graphic novel, but it was a little off. I don't think they did the coloring correctly. The pieces that should have been drastic & stand out weren't prominent enough to make a difference. Another thing; I thought this was a Japanese movie...So, y did every1 speak Korean? I have a good thing to say about that! If they had dubbed it in Japanese then this would have been 100 x's worse. OMG to watch them speak in another language & the voice be all messed up would have this an epic bomb. So, I totally thought that

So I was offline for like 6 months. Not able to watch ANY drama except for on my phone (who wants to do that??? Blah). As soon as I got caught up w/ all the drama's I was totally invested in from last season; I started watching this 1. I started it mainly b/c of So Ji Sub. My Unnie would likely be upset if I missed it. He is her FAVE actor...LOL! Plus I love a good romance. After I started watching; it took me 1 day to get completely caught up & then I had to wait a day for the last epi. I was totally excited. I thought this drama was excellent. I loved the characters, the actors, the music, the story, & well basically everything. If I had skipped this drama I think I would have missed out on a lot. I rly got into it & sat in a state of suspense the whole time I watched. I have to say that I am glad I marathoned it b/c I would have totally gone crazy waiting for the next wks epi's. So Ji Sub is a great actor. I don't think I have watched a drama or movie he has been in where he didn't get hurt or killed & brought back to life.

Anyway! I recommend this drama b/c it has comedy, horror, romance, & some of the best actors. I don't think any1 could rly be disappointed. 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.

OMG FREAKING AWESOME!!!

So this drama had it all. I was left guessing the whole time. I never knew what was coming except once & that was just a given. There wasn't anything bad about this drama. I loved the whole thing. The acting was amazing, the story was awesome, & I would totally start rewatching this in a heartbeat. I don't think that this drama could disappoint any1. The only issue was that I just couldn't stand the old bad guys facial expressions, but ur supposed to hate the bad guy. Anyway awesome job writers. This is the best time travel drama I have ever watched b/c it is simple and complex at the same time. It makes u think, but u also have to accept things as they are. I enjoyed watching this drama & I suggest that every1 give it a try. I promise it will draw u in on the 1st episode. ENJOY!

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.

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!

OK So this drama got a 10 b/c of the ending. EPIC ending. I actually heard so much from Unnie about this drama being a rly bad drama, but I'm not so sure we were watching the same drama. I thought it was pretty good. Of course there r some issues, but that comes w/ the fact that it was done in 2004. Other than the crappy set & the annoying supporting actors (i.e. Soo Jung's brother, money stealing ex-boss, & best friend) I liked it.

No, this drama will never be 1 of my all time faves, but I enjoyed watching it. I enjoyed the fact that these actors (that I love) So Ji Sub, Ha Ji Won, & Jo In Sung confirmed that they are great actors & not just "Eye Candy." The ending was the best ever. Whoever came up w/ that ending was a genius, b/c it gave an ending to all sides of the conflict.

I was slightly upset that Ha Ji Won had to play a cry-baby, indecisive character, b/c to me she is just much stronger than they let her be in this drama.

So Ji Sub blew me away. I mean who do u know that can be as silent as he is in this drama, but still show so much emotion that u know what he is feeling the whole time? NO1! He is an amazing actor & I will forever watch anything & everything he is ever in (if I can find it subbed).

Jo In Sung is like amazing. I wanted to cry & go crazy w/ him through this whole drama. I felt bad for him the whole time b/c of his family life. Which kinda reminded me of Lee Je Hoon's character in Fashion King. I actually wanted him to get the girl even though he was a giant Scott (South Park Reference).

Overall I liked the drama & think that others should give it a try. It isn't as much torture as I anticipated, except that is is older & it reminds me of the 80's. ENJOY!

Wow I don't think there was an episode that I watch were I wasn't pissed. The last episode was the best of them all. I don't rly know what to say about it w/o telling every1 what happened & y I was mad the whole time. I am going to try to explain.

The character Da Hae, even though I know she didn't mean for everything that happened to happen, was just evil. I know she felt remorse for certain things (u will only understand if u watch), but she still continued to make choices that were selfish & evil (the only word I can think of to describe it).

The character Ha Ryu was just too sweet. I know he did the whole revenge thing, but that wasn't his motive. It was more along the lines of making ppl pay for what they did. If u ask me all his actions were totally justified, but I still think that he was too sweet for his own good.

The other characters were awesome. Each character was necessary and the actors that played them did such a good job.

I have to say that this drama kinda blew me away, but b/c I had such an angry feeling most of the time I had to give it lower scores. I don't feel that anger is a good way to feel entertained. But b/c I was so invested in each character I had to continue to watch till the end. I am glad I did b/c the ending left me w/ happy & sorrowful feelings. It was appropriate for the drama. Don't go into this drama thinking that you're going to come out all sunshine & roses, b/c that is so far from this drama. I suggest only those that can handle a serious melodrama should watch this, b/c it is like no joke.
