Well as you may all know , this is actually the male ver. of Temptation Of Wife (2008) but when It comes to comparing , I like this one much better ! First of all , the story is more SENSIBLE ! I mean , I can never accept that you can get some (or lots of) make up , wear some sexy clothes , change your hairstyle and then go to the people who know you and expect them to believe you're a different person ! (which happened in Temptation Of Wife )
But , YES ! You CAN get some plastic surgery (specially in Korea! lol) , change your identity profile , and then pretend you're a brand new person !
Second , I think the Episodes number in this drama are chosen much better ! It's not like that I hate the dramas with 100 Episodes or more , But I think for this story plot 20 until 30 episodes are ENOUGH !
In other words , in this drama you see less cliche and unecessary scenes !
Characters development is much greater in this drama ! actually you can see a whole new world in each character's mind ! I liked the fact that you can't completely hate the first female role as you get to know about her life and the things she's been through ! No one has been born as a vilian after all !
The acting was great , actually I believe it's the best drama of Bae Su Bin ! As well as Lee So Yeon !
Some say the ending was not good but I say It was bitter but not bad at all ! Actually If the ending was as fantasy as a fairytale , I think it would ruin the whole story ! ( I wanted to explain more about my point but I'm not gonna write any spoiler!!!)
The only thing I can mention about this drama as a negative point , is that I wish I could see more personality features of Shin Hyun Woo in Ahn Jae Sung after his plastic surgery ! Sometimes I felt there wasn't any Shin Hyun Woo from the first . I think it's more the screenwriter's fault than Bae Su Bin's!
OST was really good ! I think there was a song named (Broken Heart) which still is one of my favorites.
I think I'll rewatch it If these new dramas let me , lol !

(All about my wife) is NOT a usual romance-comedy full of sexual scenes which makes you laugh for 2 hours and then after a week you won't remember anything of it ! This movie has something to say !
Something precious ... something necessary for both our love and social life !
In this movie we see a woman who seems to be rejected by the society she's living in as well as her own husband ! At first you must feel the same too ! Like: Hey what's wrong with her?! Can she stop nagging ?! she's driving me crazy ! ...
But the more you know about her , the more you think that : What if she is right ?! What if the things she's nagging about NEED TO CHANGE ! Just because the people got used to these negative points and no one bothers to protest about them it doesn't mean they must not be solved !
As you see this movie is more than it seems ! more than seduction , passion or even love life !
What makes this movie extremely special is mostly the unique and different characters that CAN NOT BE FOUND in any other movie ! Specially the first female role !
The three main roles actings were awesome ! they made their characters completely believable and you could even show sympathy for three of them ! So let me say a big : WELL DONE ! both to the director and the screenwriter for creating the best comedy-romance of my life !
The french music used in this movie had a great harmony with the story and I loved it !
At last this movie was a masterpiece in It's genre and I'm sure I'll rewatch it again and again !
Oh ... And I think the main lesson of this movie was : ... You only know your lover , when you let her go ! ;)
Bye ^^

(First of all , I must say I'm reviewing this drama as a comedy-romantic drama and I'm comparing it with other Korean comedy-romantic dramas)
Let's disscus something first : What's the point of making a Comedy-romance ?!
And what points a comedy-romance must have and offer the audiences ?
= A comedy-romance , as it goes without saying , must have a new attractive love story with some taste of fun and laugh ! And still have something new to talk about or in other words : Gives us some lessons of good and bad sides of life ! And as a musical , it must have great MUSIC !!!
Trot lovers , is exactly like what a great comedy-romantic must be !
The only negative point I can mention about this drama is probably what people call : (Cliche) !
Yep ! It did have some (or maybe many) cliche parts ... But really , doesn't life have some cliche parts too??? Haha ! Just saying :)
Anyways , the good storyline and amazing actings (specially Eun Ji's) along with music and fun in this drama , makes you curious about the rest of it (even if you can already guess !!!) .
I was amazed by the great and different characterizations : As an example I liked the fact that Eunji and Ji Hyun Woo were totally from different worlds , And until the end of the drama they're still far too different!
Some characters were so unique and new to me LIKE : Shin Sung Rok's moody and cool character !
Sometimes he seems like a strick serious CEO , sometimes like a silly , funny kid , and sometimes like a man , who's in LOVE :D I liked him so much ! His acting skills were apparently shown in this drama ! I'm looking forward to see more of his acting !
One other reason for my love to this drama was that it made me know Korean Trot songs and fall in love with them ! I think they couldn't choose any better way to introduce their Trot music to the world and also to they younger ones !
I appreciate the director for choosing Eunji for this rule ! I believe nobody could do it better than her !
If I hadn't seen her in Apink and If I didn't know she sings Pop , I could swear that she was born to sing Trot ! <3
The feeling she could show both with her singing and her acting were amazingly heart-touching !
I think this drama mostly tried to show the bitter and sweet sides of life by means of MUSIC and SINGING !
This drama was like life ... It made you love ... made you hate ... made you laugh ... made you cry ... and it had too many lessons to teach ! lessons about Love , Family , Hope and Dreams <3
I highly recommend it to everyone <3

STORY (6/10) : A sweet yet not original Cinderella-like love story between a poor girl and a super rich but immature guy who tries so hard to look COOL and AWESOME (and he really makes it lol!) the story begins showing how strangly the girl changes the whole rough personality of the guy during a very short time then continues with some unnecessary scenes of showing the luxury , fun , jollity life of these four called-amazing guys who start sharing their randan with two super-simple sometimes-pitiful highschool girls for NO SPECIFIC reason ! THEN the writer who seems he/she has gotten a bit tired with love triangle issues between Ji-Ho , Joon Pyo and Jan Di makes a VERY right decision of working a little more on the other charecters development and tries to entertain us with their backgrounds and challenges in life ! For Example : Ji Ho's mysterious and miserable childhood with his grandfather (which wasn't clearly explained at last , as if it was supposed to get finished as soon as possible but STILL it was a GOOD one) and Kim Bum's sad love story (which was fine I think ! )
BUT THEN something that wasn't fair here which bothered me a bit , is surly Woo Bin's character ! I mean It's not fair ! If this drama is mainly about F4 I wish they would give him A BIT more attention like they did for other boys ! He's a main role after all ! No new point ! The story is simple !
ACTING (7/10) : Well , I know so much better actings of Lee Min Ho in other dramas but about this one ... I think he wasn't 100% great, but he was FINE ! Goo Hye Sun could be much better but she wasn't BAD at all ! Kim Hyun Jonng !!! Uhhh ! I'm sorry , I'm a big fan of his singing but he couldn't transfer a single kind of emotion , for God's sake ! Not crying nor laughing ! All were super artificial and not tangible at all ! Kim Bum was pretty good and I think his acting in this drama was his best !
MUSIC (8/10) : memorable and lovely ! my favorite was Starlight Tears ! ;)
REWATCH VALUE (5/10) : I'm afraid I don't have any plan for rewatching this drama ! Unlike most of my friends , I only saw it once , and I think It was quite enough ! But as so many people are insisting of watching it over again , maybe you'll do it too !
AND FINALLY : Despite the fact that it could be much better , what makes me and many others have a special feeling and RESPECT about this drama must be the revolution it makes with using a fantasy Cinderella-like love story in a regular melodrama with a brand new atmosphere of Korean Drama Industry , which makes them say : Oh My God ! This is why I've been waiting for !
In other words : B.O.F tries it's best to GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY LOVE ! And really really really makes the audiences look forward to see the next EP , using a calculated and professional order of the PLANS and SCENES which is ADORABLE !
Final word : reviewing is mostly about comparing ! So nothing is 100% in this world as well as this review ,It's only written comparing with other dramas/movie and it's rated toward my other ratings for other worse or better dramas/movies !
Thanks for reading my words ! Bye ^_^

Usually when it comes to a romantic story , It's all about before marriage ! A boy and a girl who are extremely in love and give their all to fight against everything and everyone that is separating them !
And as we see in the most of classic romantic movies they have two kind of endings : 1) They marry each other (like Cinderella , Snow white etc. which is known as "Happy Ending") 2) They won't be able to stay together (Romeo & Juliet etc. which is known as "Sad Ending)
But there are less movies which try to talk about the story of AFTER marriage ! Actually , as you might already know , that extreme crazy love before marriage is USUALLY a kind of reaction to body's Endorphin release ! And even If it's not like that , that kind of love is USUALLY amazing , cool and so hot (!) as long as It's before marriage ! (OFC nothing in this world is not 100% though !)
And that's why they say LOVE can't be proved before the couple try to continue they REAL LIFE together !
(A Moment To Remember) has a far different defining of LOVE , at least farther than Classic stories !
We see the couple get married and some might say : What the hell ! Why everything just happened so fast between them ?!
But I must say , that was the best way it should've happened !
(A Moment To Remember) is not a cliche romance you want to watch on Valentine Day with your dear boyfriend ! :) It has some more important points to mention ! It has something new to show us ! A new side of love , life and romance ! Something we can all relate even If we haven't exprienced it !
The amazing storyline along with awesome acting of my favorite Jung Woo Sung , As a man who's been running away his whole life ! He's been running away from any responsible cause he's too busy living his own lonely life ! Yes , he prefers to be alone not because he's COLD or bad-tempered , NO ! But because LIFE has brought him up , like that ! Cause he has had enough troubles since he's been born ! So even if he feels his heart beating for someone , he would prefer to close the doors and stop anyone from entering it ! But how a lady (Played by Son Ye Jin) who seems to be the unluckiest person in Love-life , would be able to open this door which has been closed for too many years ?! And how this cold , unresponsive man can change entirely when it comes to protecting and giving his all for his wife and his marriage ?!
Well , they say you'll never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice ! I think It's true ...
Enjoy (A Moment To Remember)'s great directing , acting and storyline and rewatch it whenever you just felt like , you needed to !

Personally , I think this movie tried very hard to be a HOLLYWOOD-LIKE action movie and sometimes used English language for speaking where it wasn't actually needed !!! (e.g : why would two koreans speak English in Korea ?! ) Anyways , you're not watching a romance ! so don't wait so long for a love relationship between a killer and his next traget ... One of the things that made me disapointed about this move was first female lead ! I'm not against her acting (I'm not a fan either) BUT she really couldn't express her feelings as a mother who has lost her one and only daughter recently (or at least I couldn't feel her emotions) ! Through the movie , I kept looking at the time asking myself (how much does it take to be finished ?! should I play-forward ?! ) And I think the real reason for this feeling to the movie was the emotionless actings (specially those foregin actors who were aweful !) and the very slow progress of the story. I really wish they could direct it way much better and wouldn't let the movie to be filled of too many action scenes to get really intolerable !
Anyways , if you're a fan of action movies , watch it over times ! but If you care about the storyline like I do ... Just watch it once - twice to get the whole idea !
