This drama is really not bad overall, and there is even a surprising ending detail which I did not expect. But, this drama really is not for everyone. I mean, it starts out pretty well, and you are very interested in the story, but, then it becomes a little bit awkward. Since the girl our main character likes the father and is also his son's love interest. Not to mention, she is his son's age rather than the father's ( main character) age and there is at least a 30 year age gap between father and son it becomes quite awkward.

So, we as the viewer start to become very weirded out, and although the romance is cute, it is really problematic to our minds when we dwell on it. I have no real problem with age in general, and I enjoyed the dramas called: I love Lee Taeri, the Prime Minister and I, Big ( at first, until the story went downhill, I was fine with the the age gap). All of these dramas have huge age gaps, the biggest age gap from these dramas was 14 years.

I would not have minded the age gap so much if perhaps, the son was not in love with the same girl. But, I guess that cannot be helped. For those of you that have problems with age gaps, at least know what you are getting into before you watch it. But, I still recommend you at least try watching it. It may not be so bad for you. Plus, the romance gets kind of boring and in the end I did not care who she went with.

The romance in this drama was secondary to the father- son bromance ( I don't know what else to call it), that was happening in this drama. I loved those scenes and I want to rewatch this drama just for those scenes alone. So, if you love bromance scenes, this is a drama for you, as long as you can get through the first few episodes with little to no bromance. Then, bromance scenes start and the drama becomes adorable. I know why it was beating Pinocchio for ratings now. Despite the boring parts this drama had more bromance than Pinocchio.


I enjoyed the music overall and the overall acting was very good. I officially love Lee Joon as an actor. I am going to have to go back and watch all his movies and dramas. The plot overall was quite interesting and I did not mind the plot holes as much. Anyway, I would recommend you give this drama a try, but, if you don't like it, it's okay this drama is not for everyone.

If you loved Big, you will definitely love this story. However, I personally think this story and the ending was better than Big. I loved the acting most of all in this drama, I think we really believed it was a 14 year old in a 25 year old's body.

There were definitely some surprising elements in this drama which made it all the more interesting. And even though it was very similar in plot wise to Big, I found it to have a different feeling. I also loved the humor in this drama.

The music was great but it did not really stand out to me.

I would definitely watch this many times over in the same day if I could.

This drama should have not been called: Gu Family Book, because it was less about the book and instead more about the Gumiho family, and half the time we forget about the book, anyway.

This was my first historical drama that I have finished up to date and it really encouraged me to finish the other historical dramas I have started.

I really started watching this because, I love Gumihos and Lee Seung gi, but, for me who really stole the whole show was Choi Jin Hyuk and the ladies who played the younger and older roles of his wife. I wanted the whole drama in the end to be about them rather than the main characters.

If you watch this drama for the acting you will not be disappointed. All the main characters are great actors and it really makes the drama interesting and fun to watch.

The music in this drama will not disappoint you, in fact, most of these songs you will love and want to listen to again and again.

The ending for me was quite disappointing. I did not feel that there was enough resolution in the end for some of the plot points and characters.

In general though, I did find the story entertaining and fun to watch. But, it lacked some necessary elements to make it one of the top dramas of the year.

Considering the fact it is only five episodes long, it is well worth a rewatch. The drama is short cute and sweet. Do not expect the best acting or the best plot.

It serves it's purpose and I reccommend anyone who has only an hour or so they can spend on watch a drama.

This is also a good chance for you to see Ji Eun Sung and Nam Ji Hyun in lead roles. If you liked watching Min ah from Please remember, Princess this is a five episode drama to watch for her. For Ji Eun Sung he has a main role in Ace which was only an episode long, so, you really need to watch this.

This drama had a very good plot. I did not know who she actually she was going to go with in the end and I kept watching despite the fact that I was worried she would get together with the wrong guy and I would hate it.


I struggle to call this a bad drama, but I really felt it lacked somethings. I never felt like we got a good enough ending for any of the characters.


The opening credits plus the song made you feel like there two girls always stopping the romance of the two main guys with the girl, although that never really happen especially on Terry's side But, that is just a minor pet peeve.


Anyway, on to the real problems. Except for one song the opening one I don't really remember any music from this drama, which in general means that the songs weren't that great.

The story was well built but I don't think it lived up to what it could have been. I mean I almost did not watch the ending, because it got to the point I really did not care a whole lot anymore.

There was too much drama in this drama and that sounds weird to say but it is not because there was a lot but that a lot of it ended up being a plot hole or something we never dealt with again. If they had instead dealt with a little less in this storyline they would have made it out of this story with a better ending and more people would have enjoyed it.


I would still watch most of this drama again but that is mostly because of the scenes with Terry. Terry was the best character in this story and he had really awesome moments that I would love to watch again.


This drama is pretty good, but, you may really dislike the ending.

This is a must see for all Exo-L or any kpop fans! This short drama is basically a live action fan fiction. I bet you anything there was some story that had a very similar plot, or at least Exo coming to live next to their romantic interest.

It is very hard for me to decide which I like better of the two Kpop web dramas that came out this year: Exo Next Door, and Dream Knight. Those two dramas have very different humor aspects to them, and I enjoyed them both very much. I personally believe that all kpop groups now need to produce their own movie or short drama. I think that would be a nice introduction for a lot of new fans.

This drama became so well liked and watched they are even making a movie version of this drama to go to the Cannes Film Festival! Wow, that is one thing I was not expecting when I started to watch this drama. But, enough of all that, on to my review of the quailty of this drama.

This drama for me was very much wrapped up in the emotions of us, the EXO-Ls and parts made us reminsice or even cry. I found that although normal kpop fans will enjoy this, Exo-Ls may have had a difficult time with some parts of the episodes. But, even with that in mind, the plot was cute, and sweet and so was the romance, even if D.O. became the second lead. Sehun, who most of us thought would be a very side character, turned out to have a very awesome role and that was more interesting then the romance or even plot itself.

I do not wish to spoil a whole lot because it is very short and you should watch it. The music was very good, and Baekhyun even sang a song on the ost. The acting was very well done and considering that this was really everyone, but, D.O. and Suho's first role, they did an awesome job.

But, one thing I would like to mention is a line said by D.O. that I think was a mistake. D.O. as everyone knows is the second lead and loses the girl to Chanyeol. So, during the last episode, d.o. is mourning over the fact that he did not get the girl, and he says next time, he will not become friends with a girl he likes (because that lead to him being friendzoned), but, the next line he says, causes fan girls to hit their head on the table in front of them or scream at the drama (like I did). He says,''It would take a miracle for the girl I like to like me back.'' This is a really bad line for D.O. to say. It is like the writer forgot he was a worldwide kpop star and has hundreds of fans, not to mention he sing very beautifully, and in this drama he is the sweetest guy ever.

Also, if you want to watch this for any Exo M members, keep in mind that they only show up in a few episodes and they get very few lines.

Please watch this drama!

I really enjoyed this film. I have not watched many Chinese movies so I can't really compare it to other movies, except Back to 20s the Chinese Remake of the Korean Movie Miss Granny. As you can probably tell from my statement, yes, I was watching this movie for Wu Yi Fan, as I was watching Back to 20s for Lu Han, but, that does not mean I only enjoyed the movie because of him. It was a very nice sweet movie in general and I loved the fact that we did not have to dwell on the romance the whole time. I was able to enjoy both the movie backdrop story and their romance. It was very interesting and there were not any parts I need to cut out or skip.

The music for this film I was looking forward to in this film but, even though Wu Yi Fan wrote one of the songs, called "There is a Place for Us", we did not even hear that whole song in the film, and I think it was placed in the wrong place. But, other than that, the music was okay. It might have been also because I don't even associate this song with this film at all. Infact, I assume if I never had heard this song before I would have missed this song. It would have not stood out as a great song but, only as part of an okay soundtrack.

The acting and cast was very well done. I especially enjoyed Sophia Cai Shuya and her performance as Ni Ni, the daughter. She was very cute and I loved her moments with Wu Yi Fan as father and daughter.

I want to thank the director and all the other crew that made this movie possible. I advise anyone to watch this movie, I think most people will enjoy it.

I only decided to watch this movie because of the Chinese remake called ''The Witness''. But, I enjoyed this movie greatly and I would recommend most people to watch it. The acting was awesome and I truly believed that Kim Ha-neul was blind. Yoo Seung-ho was a great actor as well, and I can really see Luhan playing his part. There is a cameo by Park Bo-gum as well.

One thing I would like to mention before I go on is a warning for young children. I recommend that you get permission to watch this film as it is not for children and not really child friendly. I have a feeling that the Chinese one will be more family friendly then this one though. But, I have no real proof to back that up as of yet. Maybe it is the trailers or maybe it is because of the last Chinese remake I saw,''Back to 20'' a remake of ''Miss Granny''.

The ending took a twist I was not expecting. So, beware the ending, there is a chance that you will dislike it greatly. Also, this is not a romance movie, so, therefore do not expect any romance. The bromance in this movie is quite lacking as well.

But, I did like this movie and I did not mind the ending. I found the movie very nice for the most part and I think it is one of the better movies of South Korea.

Everyone who was thinking of not watching this drama, please watch this you will not be disappointed.

I almost did not watch this drama because it sounded really boring. Frankly, reporters reporting on stories does big sound like it will be that good but, I loved it. The ending is a real surprise, I loved the ending.

This drama also introduced to me new actors who should become lead actors in other dramas, hopefully really soon. I want to thank the writers so much for doing this drama. As far as I could tell, there are no really boring parts in this drama and flashbacks are really important and no huge fillers. I want to see everything these writers write.

The bromance and romance in this drama is awesome! There are no huge misunderstanding between the main couple because the main lead girl cannot lie. That made this story a lot more enjoyable to watch.

Also, if anyone was worried about Park Shin Hye and how she would act, do not worry anymore this is a great drama and she acts and kisses well in this drama. I think this drama shows off how well she can act. To anyone who wanted to know, there is also a lot of eye candy in this drama. If you only want to watch because of the eye candy I recommend you do just that.

Pure romance hidden in a sport drama. When I first started watching this drama it seemed like it was going to be a sport drama with a slight bit of romance, so I wasn't sure how long I was going to keep watching it. In fact, my sibling stopped watching it too early because they thought it was going to be all about sports.

But, I kept on through the first two episodes or so where the romance was very slow and at first did not seem to be what the story was going to be about. But, I was so dead wrong. Yes, there are parts of the plot just about the sport they are in, but, that just gradually became like the background to the romance.

The romance is best friends finally becoming more than friends, which comes off as really sweet and I just love the relationship they have. When they struggle they lean on each other and it is a really good example of a real relationship in real life. I felt like they were truly in love with each other and definitely I would love to see them in a drama again with each other.

The music was sweet and awesome and I love listening to the music all the time. For sure this is a romance to rewatch.

I'll admit it right now, I only started watching it because it was supposedly inspired by My Love from the Stars.

But, I am glad that it really turned out to be quite different. I like certain remakes such as Full House Thai and the many different versions of Itazura Na Kiss, this wasn't a remake. Yeah, sure they picked out actors who looked similar and even their clothes were definitely taking after that drama, but, the characters became very different and I frankly forgot it was inspired by that drama.

I did not really like the ending, but, I am glad to hear about a sequel. I think this drama did not really need a sequel ten more minutes would have been sufficient, but, I think they might take a really good twist on it. Honestly, I do not really like Twilight so anything that is even sort of like that is a bad thing in my mind, but, it did not seem to have as much as a Twilight vibe as I thought.


Spoilers:
I loved the fact that she stole the turtle, but, I felt that it would have been better to see him show up and then a time skip happen with a kid, rather than she being pregnant while he was not there. I knew that she was going to get pregnant because they kept hinting at it during the show, but, I would have preferred an ending with him there beside her.


I really enjoyed the acting from all parties and I still think her mom looks like the mom from Adam's family. Anyway, if you like supernatural dramas such as My Love from the Stars, you will in general like My Amazing Boyfriend.

For a lot of people, this was their first drama. But for me, even though it was not my first (of Asian Dramas, Ouran High School was my first, and of Korean Dramas, Playful Kiss was my first.)I really loved it, and it will definitely stay my favorite.

I really loved the humor in this drama. I feel like someone could have taken this plot and gone in a completely wrong direction, and not made it as funny as it was,and I was so glad to see that they didn't do that.

This, of course, was the first time I had ever seen Jang Geun Suk acting, and from this drama on I have always loved his acting. I cannot count the times I have watched this drama, they are way too many.After watching the whole thing I can go back through and watch it again.

I have watched the Japanese version of this, but, even though that version was pretty good and I do like certain scenes better, nothing can beat this original.

This is the best version and has the best actors for the parts.

You should definitely start with this drama.

Seriously I would not advise anyone to really spend time watching this movie. I kept wondering half the time when the plot would show up and then I realised it was suppose to be the romance. Yet, the romantic plot line was really quite dull to say the least and not really that interesting or entertaining eventhough I love romantic movies.

I only watched it for Lee Jong Suk and even he could not completely save this movie.
Plus, they made him wear weird outfits and his hairstyles until the very end were quite bad to say the least. Plus, most of the time we did not even really like his character. I wished that his character was similar to the one in School 2013 or Doctor Stranger, the story would have ended a lot sooner if that was the case.

Well, I only started this drama because the actors and actresses, Jang Na-ra and Seo In-guk, not to mention Do Kyungsoo. They were all great at acting and their acting never disappointed me. I also was introduced to Park Bo-gum. He is a great actor and I now feel like watching all his movies and dramas. Actually, I figured out he was in a movie I already had watched, ''Blind''. I should point out for those of you watching this for Do Kyungsoo, it is really not worth it. Please just find clips on youtube. He is the murderer evil bad guy, but, he only plays the younger version of this guy and the flashbacks only happen ever so often. That being said, if you want to see great actors and several murder cases this is the drama to watch.

The story line and characters reminded me several times of a combination between the dramas, I can Hear your voice, You're all surrounded, and Pinocchio. But, with a less satisfying ending then all three of these dramas. I was really upset with the ending. I found it not really that great, and some of the story lines were not closed that well. If you are able to ignore the ending or imagine it ended similar to I can hear your voice, then I suggest watching this drama.


Bromance is awesome in this drama and literally everywhere. Which helped a great deal because the romance was quite lacking. Humor came and went, but, this drama in general is not really all that funny. It has a lot of serious moments and for any viewers that hate blood or dead people this drama is not for you.

Except for a couple episodes I would not waste my time rewatching this drama. So, for the most part I only liked the Bromance in this drama.

I loved this version. For me the whole reason why I got addicted to Korean Dramas in the first place was because of this anime and story.

My first Korean drama was playful kiss because I enjoyed the anime so much. My first Tawianese drama was It Started With A Kiss. I was really disappointed with the old Japanese version that had little to do with the anime: Itazura na Kiss. So, I was excited to hear about this new version.

I am excited they are making a sequel. The actor that played Irie was perfect, I felt like I was falling in love with the story all over again. Some parts were of course changed, but, this is still an awesome and heartwarming version.

I enjoyed every bit of it and I will certain have to marathon all versions pretty soon go decide my personal favorite.

And like the rest of you guys I will be waiting for second season.
