Nearly a perfect reverse harem and gender bender drama. This drama will really awaken your hidden desire to mascarade as a male pop idol. This drama isn't afraid to embrace what it truly is as a cute, light hearted romantic comedy. Where you can just about melt every time Jang Geun Suk says "Go Mi Nam." It isn't only Jang's character you will fall in love with, the other boys have their own adorable traits. But to be honest, Park Shin Hye with all her little fantasies probably steals the show. Her light naivety just shines in this role. With songs like "without words" and "what should i do", this drama has a great soundtrack. This is such a sweet drama that I can watch over and over again.
The beginning of this drama starts off a little slow, but overall the story has a pretty good pace. Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk make such a cute pair. Watching the male lead temper his feelings from early on in the series is really adorable. A lot of energy and focus is dedicated to Lee Jong Suk's rise in his journalism career and proving himself as a true reporter, this ends up making the leads' romance take a backseat for most of the series. That being said, I think this is the first really satisfying ending that I've seen with Park Shin Hye. I would definitely recommend it for any Park Shin Hye and/or Lee Jong Suk fan.
Falling for Innocence truly reawakened my love for Asian Dramas. Jung Kyung Ho's portrayal of a man's change of heart struggling between his desire for revenge and lingering feelings for the female lead is beautifully realized in his performance. Watching how male lead is forever drawn to the daughter of the man who betrayed his father is quite captivating. This drama has elements of romance, business, mystery, suspense and crime. A little bit for everyone. I strongly recommend this drama. The story is sooooo very good. The pacing is on point. And, the ending is sweet. Plus, Davink's Paradise is a killer theme!!!!
In her first television drama, Kim Go Eun does an excellent job breathing life into her character. Along with Park Hae Jin, they play out their doomed relationship due to the male leads sociopathic tendencies. The audience is continually left wondering if the male protagonist's feelings are genuine. I think Park Hae Jin did a very good job delivering that ambiguity to his portrayal of his character. It's a very compelling story. I wasn't a big fan of the ending, but I've come to the realization that it was the only way the drama could have ended.
This drama was very unique and intriguing. I don't believe this is really anything like it in the way of storylines. The visual effects contrasting the two worlds (reality and the world of the webtoon W) is quite beautiful. Mixed with the sketched art work framing key scenes, this drama is visually breathtaking. Lee Jong Suk's character was such a heart throb, playing the rich, successful protagonist. Han Hyo Joo actng was quite moving through the drama. With so much focus on the story, I do think it sometimes left something to be desired in regards to the feelings between the two protagonists. I think their love was kinda under-developed and certianly took a back seat to the fast pace storyline. This drama in cetainly worth watching with all its twist and turns along the way.
What an extraordinary story?! This drama has something for everyone: Romance, Action, Suspense, Intrigue, Political Power Plays etc. The main storyline is set in the Goryeo Period during the Wang Family's internal struggle for power. This drama is absolutely gorgeous considering the costumes, the sets, the actors ... For being a 20 episode series, the pacing is perfect and keeps moving. The only thing is during the second half, the tone of drama takes a sad and emotional turn. Lee Jun Ki makes another star appearance as the misunderstood, tortured antihero. This is a reverse harem series, so the young male cast does provide for a lot of eye candy and fan service. I highly reccomend this series. A quite moving drama that leaves a deep impression.
I love to see unconventional storylines. Korean dramas have really come a long way. Having Lee Sung Kyung's character play a professional weightlifter really pushes the envelope on typical Korean Drama themes. Watching the main character grapple with her desire to excel in her sport and appearing feminine proved to create great character development. The love story between Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk's characters is sooooo very sweet. The cast is pretty young, so acting is still pretty green. I think it fits the tone of the drama through. Overall, this drama is pretty "SWAG"!! You should certianly try it!
Goblin has nearly a perfect story and features superb acting talent. Kim Go Eun, Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook all have amazing performances. Though Kim Go Eun and Gong Yoo illustrate such chemistry through the series, it has to be said that Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook's bromance steal the show. Man, the fan service!! This drama has become one of my favorites.
