A good mature-ish rom-com that will have you laughing and feeling the love.

I really enjoyed this one… the characters were extremely likable ( I was a little wary of Mi-ran at first but she really grew on me) I’m glad that this was an older cast.. It made the story a bit more relatable

The story line ( although a bit predictable) captured and held my attention. Although it’s nothing new… it’s certainly something that hasn’t been overly done. I loved the fact that the female lead differed from the normal “damsel in distress”. I found it refreshing to see an independent, self sufficient, strong beautiful woman who could not only take care of her self but could also physically defend herself if need be. She lived her life the way she wanted to and was unapologetic about it!

The relationship between the characters was the perfect build… not too fast and not to slow ….I also loved the fact that the main characters were all so supportive of each other Despite what others thought.
I loved their relationships and even found the supporting cast very likable as well. And OMG the eye Candy…Kim Ji-hoon and Yoo Teo.. need I say more! Also kudos to Kim Ok-bin… she played Yeo- Miran beautifully … a perfect casting if you ask me!

Although they touched on it briefly… I feel that I needed a bit more info on the relationship between Mi-ran and her father but…Overall.. I found this rom-com drama very refreshing.. I really enjoyed it and definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good mature-ish rom-com that will have you laughing and feeling the love!

Average feel good friendship movie

This was a cute movie about 4 friends trying to find their way after graduating college. The story was okay but there were a few loose ends, no real depth and no real deep storyline. The characters were likable but none really stood out to me. I didn’t feel like I was very invested in any of their stories. Aside from a after credit clip… there was no real indication if his and why they became friends as they seemed to have come from varying backgrounds. I think it would have been a his idea to show a bit of their friendship prior to them graduating of how they became friends. We did geta glimpse into their lives and their struggles but the story didn’t take drive they much into hire they dealt with their struggles. If the point was to focus on the friendship and their individual struggles and stories was secondary… I think it did the job. overall, I think I enjoyed their friendship the most but overall it was just smh average feel good tour of friendship movie.

Overall, a cute film about first loves with angst, drama and a few twists and turns thrown in.

Just finished this and true to form… the ending sucked ??. I don’t know what it is about Korean films and dramas but they are so good… they just keep sucking you in until you get to the end and then 85-90% of the time, they just miss the mark. I mean like nose dive off a cliff miss. Not to mention the fact that I thought this was a drama and only realized it was a film when some one mentioned it and asked didn’t I wonder why I had been watching it so long.. I did not and after watching a certain scene, I was left wondering how the show would move forward for 9 more episodes?? Good thing it was a film because I would have been pissed having watched 10 episodes of a drama only for it to end the way it did… ?
The characters were likeable for the most part and a few got on my nerves at times but overall I enjoyed them and they played their roles perfectly. The story line was pretty good as well… made me reminisce on my first love and kept me interested.. until that nose dive of an ending. Overall it was a cute film about first loves with angst, drama anda few twists and turns thrown in.

Revenge, retribution, scandalous affairs and betrayal… this drama has it all and more

I loved everything about this drama.. except for the ending which I find is the case with 85% of the dramas I’ve seen.

Characters? For the most post Loved them… Well written and portrayed very well…I just wish that the Male lead would have displayed a bit more emotion. I know his character was “going through” as we say but I’m not sure he had anything other than a blank look on his face the entire show And the antagonist? Well let’s just say I loved to hate them .. which shows that the actors did their jobs well.

Revenge, retribution, scandalous affairs and betrayal… this drama has it all and more. The plot, Although a bit cliche’. Was portrayed well enough to keep me interested .The story line flowed smoothly and kept me wanting more.

Standout characters:
Han-So Ra (Yoo Sun)
Han Po Ra (Jeon Gook-Hwan)
These two played their roles extremely well. Had me wanting to jump through the screen to fight them that’s how much I disliked these characters especially Han Po Ra. I had a like/ hate relationship with Han So Ra. The one time I started to feel sorry for her… she was quick to let me know why she deserved everything she got and more. Awesome characters and the fact that I got so emotionally involved in wanting them to get their just desserts.. Is a testament to how well they were written and portrayed.
