Starts out epically strong: Becomes ridiculously overlong. This should actually be a good drama - the plot alone makes this an edge-of-your-seat kind of story. Unfortunately, half of the actors were fantastic, but the other half were mediocre at best, or just a downright nuisance at worst (Ex: the Lee family was redudant, Minsu only existed to be a second pair of legs; and Mi Suk? Don't even get me started on that one). The best action/drama for me was following Dong Joo and Jun Ha/Maru's relationship with their mother(s) - quite a satisfying thread to follow too.

I tried so hard to like this drama. I adore all the actors in other shows, but didn't like a single one of them here. The head butler and manager were more interesting to watch. At least I wasn't sure where their story would end! Every character was basically a poor carbon copy of the stereotype - definitely a waste of time.

By now I have seen about 40 dramas - I was almost in despair fearing I'd never find another drama so perfect in its entirety, encompassing all around fun, food, and an almost sickeningly cute kitchen romance! Pasta brings out all the tricks: there are no wasted scenes, the drama/conflicts are bearable and short, the humor is unbeatable. In short, Pasta is a compact gem in 20 episodes, and not afraid to make fun of itself. It's the little things that count in a drama like this. Little things, and... one of the most adorable couples I've ever scene on screen. Yae, shep!

This drama was WILD! And all over the place! The middle is a disaster of epic proportions. The side characters sometimes have more charm than the leads (can we say, major props for Ling Li??). And yet.. Ai Xing is still loveable, Tian Ze is pitiable, Jing Jing is redeemable, and when Ren Wei splashes that smile all over the screen, you just want to melt. Unfortunately, the foursome just barely manages to drag this drama through to the end. It's ultimately a good, if fairly chaotic ride.

Oh the agony! Good thing that this drama has soo many great moments, because it also has so many exasperating plotlines. Fortunately the awesome bits outweigh the silliness. One of the few dramas I have almost cried from laughing. I love the foursome - they are absolutely priceless together. Definitely The best Hong Sisters drama I have seen yet.

This drama could have been one of those rare finds of the year. Big started out so strong, it was hilarious, Gong Yoo was amazing, the rest of the cast was fun and likeable. The body switch was unique, the mystery of Yoon Jae was off the charts! The hints were there! The pace was wild! And... Wait, WTF's going on? Two time jumps, an un-filmed wedding, almost Every question left unanswered, and an ending so boring I almost passed out. The plot goes nowhere, the body switch is basically unaddressed, the mystery is never solved. Could it really have been that hard to write some sort of resolution? I want those 16 hours of my life back, Hong sisters!

Unusually compact for a 20 ep fusion sageuk! Iljimae is exciting, fast and fun, and an overall satisfying drama. It's unrealistic, epically romantic, and sometimes makes no sense (How does he always escape so artfully?), but it's written and executed beautifully, and has two of the hottest pieces of eye candy that ever existed. Now, can you ask for anymore in a drama? Maybe another 20 eps of Lee Joon Ki and Park Shi Hoo? Anybody? Now that would be epic!

Summer Scent suffers unfortunately from the same ills as the rest of the Endless Love dramas, which is to say that it's slow as molasses and at least 10 episodes too long. However, like its predecessors, the foundation of the show's main plot is phenomenal! The main characters' chance encounter on the mountain, and every scene they're in for at least the next the next 6 episodes at least are well worth the time. If you find you can't handle it after that, just skip to the end for faster resolution. We won't judge you!

Nobuta is my first Jdrama, and I'm not sure it will ever be toppled as my favorite. A high school coming of age drama, Nobuta explores the true meaning of friendship, in the moment and forever. I'm not sure I've ever seen a trio of characters portray such a deep level of non-sexual chemistry. They actors together are completely in sync, and the story line is unique, quirky, deeply moving and poignant, and just glorious overall. I am so sad that there were only 10 eposides. I could have watched these characters forever.

Wow,I knew this was going to be a good drama, but I honestly didn't expect it to be great. Most dramas have cliche character types and an obvious storyline, but this had such unexpected depth, I think I will continue to be stunned for a long time. Well worth the 20+ hours. This makes my top favorite Kdramas of all time!

Stunning in more ways that I ever imagined. I can't even begin to describe how much this drama moved me from beginning to ending, suffering almost none of the typical Kdrama's normal flaws. It is fast-paced and swooningly dreamy; weaves all the plots together. Not a scene is wasted, not a character out of place.

I really enjoyed the beginning of this drama, but about halfway through, it's already pretty obvious where it's going (granted, a fault of most romantic dramas), but the main girl never seemed to learn anything, the same plot devides were reused over and over again, and that horrible woman with the horrible haircut was just so completely heinous I couldn't even bear to watch when she was in the scene. I made it through, but just barely. Fortunately, both the main leads were pretty to look at.

I was initially hooked by the first few episodes. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. The story moved away from Paris, the two main male leads turned out to be neither attractive (in good looks nor personality), and the plot fell into the typical pattern of "who can make the biggest mess for everybody around, and still pretend to be pitiable?". One of the few things that kept me watching was the main actress. I just couldn't find a reason to watch the last 10 episodes play out.
