This drama. THIS drama. Honestly speaking, I only started watching it for Han Ji Min, but ever since the second episode, I have been so emotionally invested in this drama that it's ridiculous. I was really thinking that I was going to get let down, but I didn't. This drama is a lot more about fighting your way through life and never giving up. It's broken my heart and put it right back together again. It almost makes me wish I had lived a life like our main character had, so I could appreciate all the small things in life as he does. It's made me change the way I look at things, and it's so well developed and perfectly paced that it's, for lack of a better way to say it, perfection. The chemistry is unbelievable. I'd watch this drama a million times over if I could.

This. Is. So. Cheesey. I won't deny that, but let me give you some background as to why that's COMPLETELY acceptable here. If you've read the manga, you know how the main character acts, so going hand in hand with that - The lead actress was supposed to act that way. I found it a little dramatized at times, and it's a bit cliche' but that's all my opinion. It was a very sweet & quick romance movie; I loved it. One of the best live actions I've seen in a while! Plus, could they have done a better job at matching the way the two leads look - Yoh and Haruna - to how I imagined them looking? Definitely worth the watch :)

This drama took over my life for a while. Kim Tae Hee is an absolute blast in this drama and the main pairing (which isn't too evident in the beginning) is absolutely adorable. Kim Tae Hee's character is one you're always rooting for and although this drama does lack a "captivating" story line, it's a lovable story line that always leaves you wanting more. The thing I love about this drama and the person who wrote it is he doesn't focus on those stereo typical tragic story lines but instead shows us a character who is finding herself, becoming stronger & moving toward her goal. It's very funny and pretty 'turned up' on the romance, but a fun watch nonetheless.

"Right now... I'm happy." It doesn't take long to become addicted to this drama. It also doesn't take long to fall in love with the characters. It will always go back to dying, but the way that they portray the concept of dying and hoping for the future is absolutely perfect. It may seem like a basic romance/angsty storyline but that meaning runs so deep it's unbelievable, beautiful, and more importantly, believable. This drama has actually inspired me to be much more of an optimist and live in the future and plan for the future. & Not dream of being happy, but actually being happy.

It is with deep regret that I write this review. The Hong Sister's are awesome at dramas, and when I found out about Big I could barely contain myself. The cast set up was fantastic - The chemistry between Gong Yoo & Lee Min Jung is too hot for words. The supporting cast was just as enticing. The acting was on point and that's not what I have an issue with. The problem is the sloppy writing here. The story started off great, I couldn't get enough of it. Then I was left dumbfounded, confused and excuse me, pissed off. It was too rushed. We didn't get any answers, we were left hanging. By the end, I was forcing myself to sit there. To the very last moment, I was looking for something to happen that could make up for all the flaws this drama had. Left, let down. I'd recommend something that shows just how awesome the Hong Sister's are: Greatest Love, You're Beautiful, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, among others. Skip.

I gave this a nine not because of the story, not because of the acting, but because I felt that something was missing. This drama gets to the point where it City Hunter Badass then just takes it down a notch, imo. I loved everything about this drama - the actors & actresses were flawless and completely awesome at portraying their emotions, and let's not forget Kim SooHyun and Il Jung Woo. Soo Hyun does such a great job in this drama and I can't look at him and connect him to Dream High anymore. It gets pretty tragic, but in the end it seems like everything pays off. I was cuddled up in my bed sobbing about this drama being over. What am I going to do now? If you don't watch this, you are SERIOUSLY missing out.

Regardless of the previous reviews, I'm going to go all out on this one. Firstly, the story: It isn't a deep-meaning or soul-searching drama so if you're looking for that: this isn't one for you. This has a light-hearted feel to it, nothing too serious or too emotional but memorable nonetheless. Breezy, even though the angsty-like plot lines get a little old; they help carry this drama and also leave a deeper impression on you. The cast is made up of amazing actors and I really feel that Kim Jae Won fits his role perfect. Main pairing is too cute for words, but it's hard to just pick one guy in this drama (for me atleast). :) Soundtrack is one of the best of it's time, definitely worth checking out.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical when I first started watching this drama. It was hilarious, fun, romantic and it was all too good to be true. I figured that like most dramas, it'd all have to come to an end and get serious and drag us so far away from the way we felt in the beginning it'd be like watching a different drama all together. I was wrong. There is nothing wrong with this drama; except that it could've lasted longer - you know, like forever. The chemistry in this drama is just too good to be true, and I honestly want to see Yoochun & Ji Min together in another drama. It'd be perfect


The cast, in every aspect was unforgettable. I felt so much for our secondary characters; The heart break and the good times. I even thought I felt a little bit for the evil duo. They're all EXCELLENT at what they do and sold us the story. Perfectly. Oh & the soundtrack is one of the best of the year, been on repeat all week tbqh. Good going drama, now I'm going to hold every drama this year up to your standards.

Only reason I decided to watch this was for the killer cast - it was well worth it too. Mr. Idol is all about chasing your dreams, even when it seems like you're done and out - Pick yourself up and carry on. It does a good job at portraying the difficult journey that it is to chase your dreams, especially being an 'Idol'. I fell in love with the cast at first glance - of course, there isn't really too much depth into their characteristics, but they are definitely lovable from the get go. The story was amazing and what made it amazing is that is was REAL. Literally had me tearing up at some parts. :) We all know that nothing ever gets handed to us and we've gotta work for something. I'd literally sit and watch this movie a thousand times over - Definitely an awesome movie.
