This movie had potential...but while it wasn't a bad movie, it failed to live up to it's potential in my eyes. It didn't explain why anything really happened, and the last 5 minutes left me scratching my head. Other than that, i LOVED the use of foreigners speaking perfect Korean as the two side characters. The music conveyed the mood perfectly. As for rewatch value, it's an alright movie to rewatch. Overall this movie is getting an 8, mainly because i felt like it didnt explain a lot of stuff.

The only reason i watched this drama was because it had soccer in it, and i'm a big fan of soccer. Now if you're watching it for that reason alone, it'll probably be rather disappointing since the soccer in the drama is very minimal, and rather predictable. That being said, I enjoyed the story of the drama even though it was rather generic of Sports Romance Comedies. It felt like Invincible Lee Pyung Kang, except with Soccer. The acting was terrific and even though an idol played the lead, he did a great job. The music was actually surprisingly good. As for rewatch value, this isn't that spectacular of a drama that a person should rewatch. Overall though, I don't regret watching this and in fact, I quite enjoyed it. I finished it in just a couple of days which is unusual for me (as i'm usually a slow watcher).

This was one of my first Chinese Martial Arts type movies. The storyline wasn\'\'t the best storyline and was relatively forgettable. However, it completely makes up for it with its outstanding fight scenes, like every good martial arts/kung fu movie does. The music was okay. And while i normally don\'\'t like rewatching movies, this one is one I definitely will just because it has such great fight scenes. Overall, i\'\'m giving this movie an 8. It\'\'s not the best movie, but it\'\'s not bad either. If you\'\'re a martial arts fan, you\'\'ll probably love this movie.

I was working when I watched this movie which may explain my lower ratings for this movie. The storyline was unique and very interesting. The only problem was that at some points in the movie I was scratching my head and wondering why the character did what they did, but my guess is that i must've missed something. The Cast was terrific and the characters were believable. The music was okay. It didn't really stand out much. I'm not much of a rewatcher, but this movie would be a decent rewatch simply because it has no real surprises. You know what's going to end up happening from the very beginning. Overall, it's an okay movie, but one you'll watch and end up forgetting for the most part.

The story of this drama is incredibly unique, at least compared to all the dramas i've seen. The Cast and Acting was terrific and as a result of both the Story and the Acting, I truly felt an emotionally attachment to the characters, and how they changed. The music also furthered my emotional attachment to the drama. While I don't like rewatching drama, Ninkyo Helper is actually a drama I believe I could rewatch, since the element of surprise enhances the story, but in general, it's not essential to making the drama interesting.

Overall, i'm giving this drama a 10, and I fell like every Jdrama fan who enjoys the Crime/Yakuza and Family genres, should watch this.

I watched this movie with friends who were making wise cracks every minute or so, so I wasn't able to fully enjoy and comprehend the movie, so that's why I may not have loved this movie as much as I could have. The story was somewhat generic(by no means was it bad though), the Cast/acting, like in every Stephen Chow movie, was spectacular. The music was alright. As fore rewatch value, I'm not much of a rewatcher, but this would be a decent flick to rewatch. Overall, this movie is 8.

Normally I watch dramas that have finished airing. However, I made an exception with 49 Days since it was so addicting. I absolutely loved most of the series, my only problem would be with how it ended. Other than that though the series was amazing, though it did drag out a little in the middle. I feel like this would have been better at a 16 or 18 episode drama.



The story was absolutely unlike anything I had watched before, and it was executed pretty well. My only problem with the story would be the antagonists' reasons for being evil weren't good enough in my opinion.



The Cast and the acting were absolutely spectacular and had terrific chemistry.



The music was also great and I still listen to the OST after the show has finished.



As for rewatch value, this drama simply has none. Once you take out the element of surprise and suspense, it will become boring.



Overall though, this drama is a great drama to watch and I loved every moment of it, other than how it ended.

I started watching this movie since I had it on my laptop for a long time but never got around to watching it until a boring Saturday where I had nothing better to do. The story is rather unique and I surprisingly felt emphatic towards both the antagonist and the protagonist. The acting was superb, the music was alright. Overall it's a decent movie for a boring Saturday.

This drama holds a special place in my heart as it's one of the few dramas where I would look forward to watching every week. The reason why I liked it so much, was because of it's witty dialogue, the wonderful chemistry between Mizushima Hiro, and Oguri Shun, and the absolutely hilarious moments as well as the serious moments in the show. Overall, the storyline is an 8 for me(because at the end I wanted more. The acting was perfect though. I loved the music as well, especially the insert song by EXILE. This drama is one of the few which i would say has a lot of rewatch value. Overall, this drama is a 9 for me. Hope you all enjoy :)

I watched this movie on the plane as I was heading to Japan for the first time and I can tell you this much...it seriously excited me. The story isn't that unique. It follows the typical case of sports star falling from grace and never going back till the end. So what makes me like it so much? The hilarious dialogue, the loveable characters, and just the fact that it was an enjoyable movie on an unenjoyable flight. Hope you all enjoy :)

This is literally my favorite Chinese Movie ever. It's story is unique and highly epic! The cast and acting could not be any better. The music enhances the scenes perfectly, and while i'm generally not one for rewatching movies or dramas, this one I would definitely rewatch a year or two after. Overall, I highly recommend this movie to every Chinese Movie fan. Especially fans of movies such as Red Cliff.

I was actually very very surprised at this drama. I first found this drama when I was searching for drama music videos on youtube, and when I saw the music video I knew I had to watch this. The storyline isn't the most unique, but it isn't half bad. The acting was perfect. The music was excellent in my opinion, and overall it's a drama I recommend everyone to watch.

A friend of mine recommended this movie to me and gave me the dvd but I never watched it since I was too busy. However, the moment arrived when I finally got time to watch it when my neighborhoods power went out (Thank you laptop!) and so I was finally able to watch the epicness that is Moon Child. The story is amazing, involving vampires, friendship, and tons of action. The Cast/Acting was amazing. The music was alright and served it's purpose well. Even for rewatch value, i'd say this gets a 7. Overall though, this movie is a solid 9, and a movie that everyone should watch.

This is a movie that I was thrilled to see. I was in love with it from the beginning till a few minutes before the end. I absolutely disliked the ending though and it left a bad taste in my mouth. However, other than that it was a spectacular movie. People who like that sort of ending will most likely give this movie all 10's because it really was a great movie. The story was interesting, the acting was fantastic, the music served it's purpose. All in all, it was a solid movie.

This was a drama that really surprised me. I didn't expect it to be so good. The story was incredibly unique, a mixture of Supernatural(ghosts/spirits) and romance! The acting was great and as a result of this drama I became a fan of Fukuda Saki. The music was great and I listen to the OST to this day. I'm not a rewatcher, which is why I gave it a 5. Overall though this is a great drama that i'd highly recommend to my friends.
