Get your tissues ready

By far one of the saddest dramas I've ever watched. From episode one I started to cry a river and was sniffing through out the whole thing. Truly moving story that teaches you to be grateful for the little things you take advantage of in life. Warning it's a sad ending, I was hoping the doctor or Aso finds a cure for the disease but sadly not which is the reality in life. I love how its based off a real story which is so inspiring. Sadly in real life Aya did not have a Aso, he was added to the drama :(((

Actors did a great job showing what it is like to have the disease. Ost is awesome. I'll definitely rewatch this drama if I need a good cry by myself.

For those of you who want to watch this web drama, it is available on youtube with english subs. Just search up "진원" (Translates to JinWon), the videos are from the channel 'short paper.'

Story: The plot is about a girl named JinWon. She meets a guy called JaeHyun who works at a cafe. Then the guy becomes her tutor. Little coincidences occur between them and JinWon thinks it may be fate. Later they meet again at the same college, JaeHyun shows signs that he likes her. The end.

The drama is super short, 6 episodes, less than 10 minutes each. Very cliche. Personally felt like half the drama was silence and the girl staring at the boy. Good drama to watch if your bored and have lots of time to kill.

Plot: The Temperature of Language: Our Nineteen is a high school web drama that focuses the struggles of 6 senior students before they head off to university. This is a heartwarming drama that tells us the importance of friends. JinA is the main character in the drama, she learns that each person has their own struggle that she can't see, everyone goes through a hard time, but it is important that we don't blame ourselves for our shortcomings in life. And that we can always rely on our friends. Warning, get your tissue box ready for the last two episodes!

Acting: As always Jin Ji Hee does a great job acting. The rest of the cast are all rookies, but you can't tell because they all did a great job acting their character!
Music: OST wasn't used too much through the drama. The outro OST is really nice. Especially in the final episode, it keeps you feeling sad the drama has ended.
Rewatch: Keen for a season 2!
Overall: 9.5/10, a very good drama!!

*Warning the last paragraph contains spoilers/plot holes*

This is one of the only medical dramas I managed to finish- I dropped 'Emergency Couple' and skipped through episode of 'The Doctors.'
The plot is very interesting and action packed. This drama focuses very little on romance, despite its title. There is a lot to learn from this drama in terms of medical things. I've definitely learned a lot more about hospital life from watching this drama.
Acting was superb from everyone. No OST from what I can remember, mostly instrumental music.

-Spoilers-
There are many plot holes/unanswered questions.
Firstly what the heck happened to Do In Bum and Yeon Hwa? Did they confess to their crush or what?? What about the love triangle with Yeon Hwa, Nurse Park and Kang Dong Joo?
Did director Do remain as director?
What happened to teacher kim trauma project?
What was chairman hiding from teacher kim? why didn't he tell teacher kim after his surgery?
What is going on between that nurse from the main hospital and yoon seo joon ex from 5 years ago? Is the nurse babys father her ex?

Apologies if these were all answered in season 2, I haven't watched it yet~

For those considering watching this:
Yes, most of the reviews of bad, the plot isn't that well developed. But you guys should watch it for the OST, the only thing that kept me going was the amazing OST! The OST made scenes 10x better than they are. Jessi, Bomi and BTOB beautiful voices really moves your heart. <3

The plot isn't that bad. It's not too cliche. The female lead is dominant and isn't overly naive. There is 1 second male lead that likes her, not 3, the title gave me false expectations. I was expecting all 4 'knights' to fall for her throughout the drama, but no.

Acting is great. I thought Na Eun did a great job for her first drama!

Music 100/10

I only watched this for Lee Min-Hyuk, my ultimate bias in BTOB <3

Plot:
Terrible plot. Unbelievably stupid. [Warning I will be spoiling some parts of the storyline here onwards. But no spoilers in the acting and music paragraphs below :) --->]
The story is about a 6 member friend group, 3 boys 3 girls. All of the girls have a crush on the same boy in the friend group, Won Tak, and all of the boys like Min Joo. Therefore Minjoo and Won Tak have mutual feelings for each other, but they can't be together because they are poor. Which is understandable. BUT THEN the misunderstandings happen... Won Tak thinks that Min Joo slept with the other 2 boys in the friend group, and Min Joo thinks he slept with the other 2 girls. Won Tak heard noises behind closed doors, so he assumed Min Joo was sleeping with someone. Min Joo sees the other two girls clinging onto Won Tak etc. Most of the drama is just about them misunderstanding situations. Until in the last two episodes, the friends go on vacation and they point guns at each other demanding the truth, and asking why they did stuff, then finally the stupid misunderstandings are cleared. Not tryna be judgemental or anything but Min Joo is hella weird the reason the other 2 boys like her is perverted asf, they wanted lust not love. How can they still call each other "friends" after all this? The friend group and the people in it needs help.

Acting:
Lee Min-Hyuk did a great job as always. His role here is a bit different from his other dramas, he acts sad, gloomy and down in most of the scenes, so if you wanted cute smiley Lee Min-Hyuk moments then I won't recommend this. Anyways, the rest of the cast did a great job as well!

Music:
I don't think there was any OST for this drama. I wanted to hear Lee Min-Hyuk sing instead of a random song over when he plays his guitar :(

A story about 'extras' trapped in the comic world with 'ordinary' personalities. The story doesn't focus too much on why they are in the comic world like the kdrama W. It focuses on the romance/love triangle between the leads, which I find really cute and bubbly. The plot started off super interesting, I would watch each episode as soon as it airs, but then there were getting more and more plot holes, and the whole idea around the comics and characters in the comic started getting confusing-e.g. how do you suddenly become conscious of yourself? I then became less enthusiastic about this drama as the story went forward. (This can be seen by the sudden lowered ratings as the drama started to air, I think it went from 9+ star at the start to 8.1 star rating right now). I put off watching the end episodes for a few weeks because I wasn't interested in the drama, but out of complete boredom, I watch it....And the ending felt 10x worse than the episodes before it. The ending is sooo confusing, and I'm still confused....

Acting is superb, as always Kim Hye Yoon slayed her role. I love her so much in SKY castle. Her character in Extraordinary You is completely different from Kang Ye Seo, she's so talented and deserves more rewards.

Music is good. Personally non of the OST is memorable.

Wouldn't rewatch. They definitely need a season 2, and I would definitely watch it.

I've heard many bad things about this drama. Many bad reviews, low ratings, comments saying that Suzy Bae's acting is bad, and many spoilers. Therefore I've been putting off this drama for a very long time. I decided to watch it as my last resort as I've run out of dramas to watch, lmao. I watched this with very very very low expectations, I was almost certain I would drop this drama... But surprisingly I didn't.

The plot is cliche overall. I knew what would happen to the main character since everyone spoilt it in comments and reviews??. But it isn't bad as I thought, it was interesting enough to keep me hooked for 20 episodes. There are many annoying, bit*hy characters, there wasn't a single episode where I didn't yell at my computer screen. The part where the male lead turns from the female got me annoyed, and he dragged it out unnecessarily long, which I felt was the only problem with the plot. I expected the ending to be extremely sad, but surprisingly I didn't cry at all in episode 20, only episode 19 I cried.

The acting was surprisingly really good. There was no problem with Suzy's acting. She portrayed her character really well. And as always Kim Woo Bin acting was spot on.

The OST is probably the favorite part of the drama. ♫"Only yoouuu hooo huuu hooo"♫ And ♫"When it gets hard.....I get a little stronger now!!!!"♫ The OST isn't overused and is not annoying :)

The ending means that there will be no season 2, so I wouldn't rewatch.

"What I found was a day time shooting star" ~Chu Chu

This is the first Japanese movie I watched, and it was super good! I might watch some more now! XD
The movie was super cute and bubbly, I really enjoyed watching it.

The plot was good, might be too cliche for some, but bearable for me. It's just like most romance stories- there's a girl and two boys that like her. In this case, one of them is her teacher, which creeped me out and made me uncomfortable, but then it didn't get too bad as the story went on. The female lead is naive but doesn't let others trample over her.

The acting was superb, I can't believe Nagano Mei was only 17 when she acted in this! So talented!

"Xue Zhang" (o-o) ~Miao Maio

This is a super cute High school/college romance Cdrama. It follows the plot of many other cliche dramas- the girl is shy 'ugly' unintelligent, whilst the male is tall handsome popular smart. But what makes this drama different from other is that the female lead is not overly obsessed with the male, she becomes more independent.

I really liked the leads cute shy interactions with each other before they dated. Kuan Lin acting still isn't top-notch, which can be seen in some scenes where he doesn't portray enough emotion, especially in sad scenes. Angel Zhao did a splendid job, she expressed her emotions well. They had good chemistry together. Heads up- if you're expecting a kiss scene: well sadly there are none at all in this drama, the most is a peck on the cheeks. This is understandable since Angel Zhao was 16 and Kuan Lin was 17.

The OST is super good! I love their intro song, the lyrics is really cute, and relates well to the plot.

I would definitely watch if season two comes!

(spoilers are at the end of this review)

Story:
This is a combination of "A Love so beautiful" and "Reply 1988". If you haven't watched these I highly recommend them! The plot is about a group of 18 year old bonding and supporting one another. Absolutely beautiful friendship. The film tells us about the struggles of an 18 year old life, one of the main struggle is college entrance exams and studying for it.

Music:
I watched this through YouTube and huge sections of the film had their audio replaced with some random instrumental because the OST was copyrighted. Such a bummer :(( The only OST I could listen to was the opening which sounds nice!

Acting/ Cast:
The male and female leads are eye candy, both so beautiful. Hua Biao smile lights up your day. Yang Xi hair cut, eyes and the way she looks at Hua Biao gives me vibes from Weightlifting Kim Bok Joo. All the cast did an amazing job portraying their character.

Rewatch:
Absolutely! This was so funny, sad and heartwarming to watch!

Spoilers/rant:
The ending is not enough!! I want a season 2, I need to know if they all reunite again and at least one of them ends up together. Why isn't a single character together?!
Hua Biao - Yang Xi
Li Yu- Huang Deng Deng
Yang Xiao He Mei - Yang Xi brother

I'm satisfied that it's a logical ending, how they need to go their own ways, but I just hope that in the future they will be able to encounter each other again and actually be with each other as in bf and gf.

This was my first ever Kdrama I watched and it led me to the world of Kdramas!

I watched it twice; the second time, I'll admit, it was a bit boring.
The leads chemistry begins as love in first sight, which I find unrealistic. I felt like the chemistry between the second couples were better. This drama doesn't contain strong love triangles like in most kdramas.
The storyline felt realistic and interesting through out the series, but the last two episode ruined it. There was so many obvious advertisements of their sponsors and I felt like the last 2 episodes were absolutely useless. The part when ShiJin and DaeYoung come back to life made me feel like I was watching another drama, it just didn't make sense... Overall if you ignore all of the unrealistic things in this drama I would highly recommend watching!

The cast is perfect. I'm so happy that Song JongKi and Song HyeKyo got married in real life, if goes to show how much effort and emotion they put into their characters!

My favorite thing about this drama is their OST. All of their sound tracks are beautiful, it was the reason I decided to watch this drama again. Descendants of the Sun, Goblin and Scarlet Heart Ryeo has my favorite OSTs.

I would definitely re watch!!! 10/10 One of my favorite Kdramas ever!

Warning this drama will make you cry a river, get your tissue box ready
The ending is sad, like most drama specials.

I wish it would be a drama series because I really like the leads. I think all the cast played their characters perfectly and you could really understand how they were feeling.
I really like the plot, but I wanted a happy ending for at least one of the leads. They hugged- which means it's not the end right, I don't want their lifetime friendship to break just because of that incident.
I watched this drama twice and both times I got emotional. The story felt so real. The plot isn't a cliche romance where the leads love each other and live happily ever after. Sometimes you have to sacrifice love in order not to hurt others <3

"A tight hug for an ending to warm your heart"
Aww GiSeok my heart aches sm for you!

Overall I loved this drama. The story was interesting and was beautifully put together.
The only thing I didn't like was the ending, I need more! So many unfinished questions, this is why we need season 2!

Dislikes/ questions:
- What happened to Munsik and the boss, the left the story with too little detail about them. I know they got caught but I need to see them getting what they deserved... (Sorry I don't know how to explain that well)
- I need to see a better happy ending with the leads! The ending was cute though :)
- More scenes with Jian and her mom, I felt like their relationship wasnt strong enough
- What happened to MoonHo liking Jian, he didn't really have that much chemistry with her and wasn't much of a second male lead, (which is good cus i like Jian and healer scenes, lol)
- Master dying ????

Likes:
- Ajumma character, she is so funny and makes the series more up lifting
- The female lead doesn't create big problems from misunderstandings (unlike most kdramas )
- The healers bad ass character then cute Bosong
- The fight scenes
- Cute chemistry between leads
- Everything linking together

I highly recommend watching this drama, I finished watching the whole series in 4 days.
My first Cdrama was Meteor Garden, this is my second. Meteor Garden kind of dragged towards the end, and the ending was okay, but A Love so Beautiful kept me hooked through out the drama, every episode was interesting. The leads are not as frustrating.

This drama is filled with cute bubbly scenes. The leads are super adorable!!

The cast was perfect, all of the cast portrayed their roles well. (Warning you will get terrible second lead syndrome.)
There wasn't much music with lyrics mostly instrumentals. Music wasn't over played and was used well.
I would definitely re watch! Such a cute drama!
