Drama Special Series Season 1: White Christmas
11 people found this review helpful
It's definitely one of those dramas you complete easily because it makes you want to know what's going to happen next.
Definitely for people who like twists and turns.
However good it may have been, the ending did however leave me quite puzzled and some questions.
I guess, people who'll be watching this will definitely see what I mean. It's recommended to everyone who likes a good mystery, and for those who try to figure out what's going on as the story progresses.

I also liked how well the cast acted and didn't make me think of roles they played in previous dramas as much.
This drama is totally recommended to anyone looking for a good drama to watch
One thing about the drama though, which was kind of >.< nerve wrecking is like probably 99.9% of the people who watched it feeling that there SHOULD be a second season.
If you see the ending or if you've already seen it
Notice that had they ended with the song playing an the pictures moving (not trying to spoil so best alternative) it would have been understandable. However, they did not! They added those last 10 seconds, which created a total cliffhanger.
Also when you see the last ep, you kind of see the ending coming, but I was still surprised by how good LeeSeungKi looked in the end.
Anyways, like you can see by my scores. I personally absolutely loved this drama, and I'm so glad I started watching it.

but I didn't really expect that much to begin with,
and I'm glad I wasn't influenced by the reviews (because I am sort of easily influenced) and watched it without prejudice ^^
The story was Great , I loved the Cast and they suit their roles well, I thought the music wasn't that bad and I might just watch it again (it's a feeling I don't have with a lot of dramas) ,
It's just a little disappointing that the ending was a bit... well, not so great
I thought it was really funny at times, and It made me go *awww* a lot, the brother was really funny as well, how he kept on going after Ma Ri , and I thought Ma Ri's character was great as well ^^
+ The leads, they did a good job, they suited their roles, and did the best they could to act them out well ^^ It was great seeing Gong Yoo act as a teen ^^
All in all
eventually, she fell for the guy I was rooting for, and if they'd done the ending a bit better,
I'm pretty sure I would have given it a 10.

However good this drama was, the ending was a bit sad for me.
Some people might call it 'touching' but because of it, I don't think I'll be watching this drama again.
This drama was sweet, but that last episode just made me cry.
And for me, no matter how great a drama is , if the ending is one as this , I won't be watching it again.
But however this review may sound, this definitely is a MUST-WATCH drama for everyone. I'm glad I finally watched it after it being in my PTW for a very long time. That's also a reason for me giving this drama a 10. Just because the ending was a 'touching' one, doesn't mean I loved this drama any less, and it definitely deserves a 10.

However good it was, it was open. And it just made questions pop up.
It's as if I was reading a book. After every episode you just had to watch more, because you just have so many questions, and you're trying to understand what's going on. It was surprising. But it was as if someone tore the last few pages of a book, making the ending very cliffhangerish.
The reason I gave it a rewatch value of a 6 is because the suspense, the not knowing, was what made me watch it to the end. But, now that I know how the story went, and how it ended. I don't think I'll be watching it any time soon.
This story is however recommended for everyone, it'll definitely leave a good impression.
It'll be great if it had a sequel though, because with that ending they could definitely make more.

It made me laugh and it made go OMG a lot :D
The Story was pretty good in my opinion. And the Cast they chose definitely matched their roles. The music on the other hand, it's the kind that you forget really easily, e.g. I just watched the movie and I don't remember even hearing it. It definitely is one of those movies you'd love to re-watch :D
It's definitely recommended to people who like watching sappy (even though this one has many twists) stories of a girl finding true love

I couldn't stop watching and watched it almost in one go
In the end, I guess I can say I kind of anticipated it, after the ruling was done, but trust me
it still felt like a slap in the face
It was definitely an awesome story and the actors did a great job
It totally kept me on my toes wondering what was going to happen or who was behind it all
This was one of the dramas that made me want to watch more suspense dramas ^^

This review may contain spoilers
Let me start off by saying I loved the sitcom for exactly 125 episodes (I dramathoned it all when I should have been studying for exams, so that's saying something) but that last episode really made me feel as though I completely wasted the last 48 hours of my life I could have spent studying math <- which is just one of the subjects I can't stand, at all (sure would have gotten better grades if I had) but still...Let me start off by saying: The cast is amazing: I started watching this purely because of Yoon Shi Yoon and how he was breaking my heart by being the second lead in Prime Minister and I (second lead syndrom, again!) but I ended up loving all the characters, they grew on me, fast
even Lee Soon Jae as the farting grandpa
I was so happy seeing Kwangsoo on the show (my fave Running Man) and Hwang Jung Eum (who's been doing awesome dramas lately as well)
There's also Daniel Choi who was great in Baby faced beauty (one of the best endings ever!!! completely the opposite from here)
& I should totally mention GiKwang - him having a schoolboy crush on Hwang Jung Eum was hilarious, I almost didn't recognize him because he was so young (it took me a while to go- OMG! That's the guy from Me too, Flower-and from there on, oh... He's from Beast)
One of the most heartbreaking moments for me was I think around ep 35 when Jung Il Woo made a guest appearance - I can honestly say I cried because of how sad his love story was - it left me feeling sad for a whole week whenever I thought of it (kind of like the ending of the Moon that embraces the sun). He will break your heart.
The story: also pretty good - the actors grew (slowly , maybe) but they grew on you as you watched them do that, it was pretty good
The whole two sisters from the country side moving into a household was very elaborate and I loved how Shin Se Kyung (never having been In high school - I think - started studying) and how the two brothers, especially Yoon Shi Yoon, took care of her (after 125 episodes I think I actually fangirled because of how much I was loving the show). Then. That. Happened.
now why I gave this an overall of 3 (and I think that was me being gentle - this is the first time I've actually failed a drama and let me tell you there that is also saying something): There have been some bad endings. Some horrible endings, but I've never felt that it took away how amazing the drama was and at most I just passed it over because regardless I loved watching the drama.
However...
The ending. I can not describe properly how infuriated I was by the last 5 min of the show, it is possibly... no, it is absolutely THE worst ending to a sitcom (of all things!) I have ever seen.
It got to a point where I wondered what the hell the scriptwriter was thinking when he actually did... that and how the producer could allow such a thing to happen
If I leave out the tihng that absolutely tanked the show for me (since this is a no spoiler review, but trust me it is just too much and it's already getting me fired up even though it's been months- half a year- since I last saw it) there's more that made the ending horrible!
The fact that the characters you've seen grow and develop, pretty much every character line is simply ignored, it's as though they went poof and nobody bothered explaining what happened to them
If you watch 125 episodes, it's common decency (to me atleast) to at least do something about that, instead they went off and did that...
Do I recommend it?
No, absolutely not. I was so mad at them ending it like that that I actually wrote a whole blog post within 10 min of the show (after looking up online whether what I think happened actually happened). It really made me feel as though I wasted 48 hours of my life, even more so because I really loved watching the sitcom - but that ending really made me feel as though it had been a complete waste of time.
If you do however end up watching it- I recommend NEVER watching the last episode - it will ruin and make those 125 episodes fade so much in the background you actually wonder why you wasted your time.
Sorry for ranting but it's just so maddening that an amazing sitcom (which it truly was) was actually ruined by a simple 5 minutes at the end - I'm sure if they had done anything but that I would have given it a 9 or something because I really did love watching the show.
