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.

But, also keep in mind that not all of the characters make sense with their actions. Some you will hate one moment and love the next. A lot the story drama would have been solved if people just were open with each other and told the truth even half the time. I can't guarantee this is the right drama for you, think carefully before you start.

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.

This movie isn't happy really at all, there are happy moments a few times in movie, but, largely the movie is just showing a really depressing story about a young girl and the boy who lost her as a friend. We are not meant to know what happens at the end because the boy is our main character. He ran away and now it is a little too late to change anything. He realized his mistake too late.
So, in essence this movie was teaching us about regret. He regretted all the things he did do and shouldn't have and he regretted all the things he didn't do but should have. Because I am an American I am not use to the movies where the ending just leaves the main character regretting everything he did. We like to feel happy at the ending of movies and we believe happily ever afters should happen at the end of stories. So, for me movies that end like this leave me feeling depressed or regretting the last two hours I just spent watching this movie. But, for others I know they will not feel that way.
Regret is not something we want to be left with in our lives.
Jinyoung on the other hand was a great actor, and I hope he gets more movies and dramas in the future. Hopefully, movies I can watch without feeling depressed.I am so excited for the JJP comeback at the end of this month!

There are a few cliches in this series as to be expected but, not much time is given to dwelling on these cliches because the series is pretty short in itself. If you only have 30 or so minutes and you wish to watch something cute and sweet, consider this series.

It started off the story with a lot to offer, and I feel that even though they tied all the lose ends it would have been better if they had not waited until the 10th episode to do so. It felt like too much was happening that we could not even understand feel the weight of what was happening.
We needed at least two more episodes to flesh out the ending a little more.
I liked the ending despite all that. The acting was okay in general from the main girl, but, I was really glad that there were better actor than her in this production including the male leads.
My favorite character was Kay from this show, and that is why I really wish that the ending could have been fleshed out a little more for his sake.
But, if you are bored and enjoy cute dramas you will in general enjoy this drama. I loved the couple moments!

To me, I did not really care for this story. I did not care if the couple stayed together or never saw each other again. The dude was lame to say the least, and yes he did change for the girl, but, the girl wasn't that great either. So, in essence it's a story about two not so great people getting together, for some reason, or because of fate or something.
I only really watched this because of the kdrama that they are making this year that will be based on this plot. I hope both characters are some what better than these characters so I can root for them. These characters just made me want the movie to finish already. But, I guess I should have expected something like this, I have never really cared for most Korean Movies, and a lot had to do with the characters in the movie. I don't know why but, Korea makes great tv shows, but most of the movies I have watched from Korea are really lacking. The ones I have liked so far are IL Mare, Blind, and Miss Granny.
I liked the music and the actors in this movie however. I think they were the only thing good about this movie. The twists in this drama made me question more on how they were possible rather than be surprised at all. Like the tree twist, do trees really grow that fast in a year? This twist left me confused for ages. Anyway, I hope that if you decide to watch this, you do not feel like you wasted your time. I am not sure if I wasted my time or not, but, now I can say I have watched the movie. Not sure whether that is a good thing or not.
I don't know, I am just confused, after watching the movie, I am not sure what else to say. That's it for my review.

I am not overly familiar with L from infinite and his previous acting but, I liked his acting here and the fact he was a second lead I did not mind overall and I even felt bad for on occasion. Krystal was great at acting and although her character was different than Heirs I enjoyed it pretty well.
The cast on dramalist does not include DalBong the dog of Rain's character, but, it should. I really enjoyed the dog's acting and I was sad the dog was not in the whole drama. Hoya is not really a supporting cast, but, more of a cameo appearance for a few episodes and Na Hae Ryung is the same way so, please don't watch just to see them.
I have no clue why they put Na Hae Ryung in the begining credits. But, although the acting was not bad, the plot lacked something, mostly logic. In the begining, the plot wasn't so bad, but, as it went gradually on it got worse and it got boring at times.
The last episode was really boring and skipped a lot that I thought might have been cool to see. The thing about this drama is there is a lot of classic Kdrama scenes, for example: hit by white truck scene, hand grabbing escape from bad guys/ loan shark scenes, and the classic try to stop me before I leave scene.
These are not bad in themselves and I usually enjoy these scenes but, this drama made them feel overused and overdone. I would personally only watch certain parts from this drama ever again, mostly scenes with the dog. It had a lot of good teasers and stuff for it, but, I felt it did not live up to it. But, if you want to watch Rain, I recommend at least watching some of this drama for him, because he is awesome!

7 episodes in the Main Lead become Good!
This drama overall is not that bad but, the first 7 episodes leave a lot to be desidered. The male lead is annoying and does pretty bad and irrating things in the first 7 episodes. If you can get past the first 7 episodes, you will like the show most likely. Because the Male Lead becomes a better person and stops doing the stupid things he did in the first 7 episodes.I think to give you the correct opinion of my feeling on the show is how I explained the show to my younger sister who was not watching the show. I told her that each time the FL and ML get into an argument which is a whole lot he drives away with her in the vehicle to someplace where they spend alone time. And this is really quite true. Now, before the 8th episode it was almost always against her will that he dragged her way to someplace. But, after the 8th episode she often came with him to places to spend time with him.
The one time that he kisses her and she slaps him, it is easy to forgive him since the FL sees that he is sincerely sorry after this and he truly did not want to force himself on her, he was just trying to get rid of the other annoying ladies in his life. The classic situation where the media basically forces you into kissing a person to prove that you aren't together with another person. But, he is truly sorry for that and she forgives him and they still take all the way till the end of the series to get together.
The ML in this show realizes he is in the wrong and becomes a better person and he does not do anything that he cannot be redeemed from in the episodes before he starts to change. If the show had only the last 7 episodes and not the first 7 the show would be rated a lot higher in my opinion. So, in essence guys try to endure the first 7 episodes, plow through and get the sweet episodes. It is well worth a rewatch! I would definitely want to rewatch this to truly evalute each character better and to truly understand the full story line.

Well Intended Love Season 2 is just a repeat of Season 1 but, done with a much better story line for all of the characters. I know that going into this season I was looking forward to a continuation of last season and to see a season filled mostly with fluff and little of anything else, so, at first I was sad to see that Season 2 did not continue the story but rather rewrote Season 1. But, that is not the case anymore. Eventhough I liked Season 1, (or struggled through the show because I liked the actors), I found that Season 2 was a much better show. To tell you the main differences but not give too much away, I will tell you that mainly how the ML tricked the FL into marrying him was changed. (Spoilers for Season 1: The ML tricked the FL into marrying him by pretending she had cancer and he was her only cure.)
But, in Season 2, ML does not trick her into thinking she has cancer, and since he only came up with the solution to the problem that they had and did not create the problem itself, the FL can forgive him more easily than last season and the whole secret does not seem like that big of a deal.
Also, another cute couple to watch in this series is the Second Male Lead and his girl. The Second Male Lead is only in the love triangle for a short time and then he moves on to better things like growing his business. A girl starts to fall for him in the show and decides to blodly move forward to get her man, and in the end she succeeds.
As for the acting in this drama, they were the same great actors they were in first season and their chemistry was off the charts.
As for those who have not watched first season, that is really not important, just know that two times they reference season 1 once in episode 1 and once in the last episode, other than that I think you can get by without ever seeing season 1. In fact, I would recommend for people to watch season 2 instead of 1.

Drama Special Season 3: When I Was The Prettiest
3 people found this review helpful
A good lesson may be learned by watching this drama, but, it is not enough to make me recommend this story to anyone.
Infact, this story is kinda depressing to say the least. But, at least you can see a few kisses that are pretty well done. The rewatch value of this story as a whole to me is very little.

The plot was awesome,(in general)and Gong Yoo just stole the show, but I must say the ending and maybe the last 3 episodes just needed help.
I really wanted to love this drama. But, I found the ending hugely disappointing. I found myself questioning why we even needed some of those episodes, especially when nothing happened that we hadn't already dealt with the last episode.
The really awesome part of this drama was the music which stayed strong when the ending failed.
I don't know what else I can say. I mean, I pretty much loved the other dramas the Hong sisters made, like You're Beautiful and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho.
But this drama did not live up to those expectations.
But, if you don't care about the ending and you just want to watch Gong Yoo act, you definitely won't want to miss this, or better yet, go onto youtube and watch all the clips they have with Gong Yoo that way you don't have to live through this drama but still get the awesome moments with Gong Yoo.

At first, I found it quite weird because Siwon was the second lead and I wondered how I could handle it. But, as it turns out I just wanted to marry him during the entire drama. I was perfectly fine with our main character getting the first lead. Siwon stole some of the spotlight of these two leads by making me fall for him every moment he was on the screen. This is definitely some of Siwon's best acting. When the drama got a little boring, there was Siwon to brighten it all up! Dude, that man is awesome! Siwon may have not gotten the girl but, he sure did make his way for my heart.
Well, enough about him. The other two leads were pretty awesome together, and they were right I was not reminded of the other parts that they play in Kill me, Heal me. They were completely different here, but, I definitely enjoyed seeing their chemistry.
There are few dramas which I think flow as a movie would. But, this is one of them. I think this will definitely have to go on my top ten list. Sorry, to the drama that gets kicked off that list, I still love you.
If you want to see good acting, laugh a lot, aww over sweet romance, and see a lot of sismance ( bromance but, cool friendship between girls instead. They were the best of friends!), then this is the drama for you.

100 Days Husband is basically Shopping King Louie but set in Joseon Time period.A rich young man who has memories of the female lead whether he remebers them or not, loses all of his memory and gets lost, the female lead finds him.
Now, that he has lost all of his memory and has no memory of where he lives or who he is, the female lead and him are forced into living together. At first, the man useless and buys items that cause the woman to go into debt because he has no money of his own.
The female lead forces the male lead to get a job, but, the male lead is found to be very bad at that job, until they find out what he is really good at and he regains his memory. For a time the female and male lead live apart since, the male lead was found by his family and regained his memory, but later on, the male lead goes back to get the female lead and they live happily ever after the end.
Also, to make it more confusing the female lead in these two kdramas are played by the same actress Nam Ji-hyun.
But, 100 Days Husband is a better kdrama because it fixes the problems that I had with Shopping King Louie.
Politics added to the drama and made it less boring to watch and kept my interest even when the main couple had to be separated for a time. I found that the characters in 100 Days Husband felt more like real people who were going through real struggles.
For the casting/acting, D.O. and Nam Ji-hyun had great chemistry and really I could not imagine anyone else doing their characters as well as they did in the story.
The music in this Kdrama fit along with the storyline and tone and helped bring a certain atomsphere to the show. Kim Jongdae sings an OST for this drama and that is not the only song that is awesome in this drama.
The rewatch value for this drama is high as all the parts of this kdrama feel needful and add depth to the characters in the story.
