I loved this drama. There just isn't any other way to say it! I loved it so much that I very often go back to it and watch it again or watch my favorite episodes. Kim Sam Soon is an awesome character in my opinion. She is lady-like, but she's strong and doesn't mind if she has to do some hard work. I also liked the fact that Hyun Jin-heon is 3 years younger than Kim Sam Soon and she's not afraid of that age gap.

Okay wait - there was one thing I didn't like about the drama and unfortunately it has to do with the ending. Still - that didn't ruin how much I love the drama, so maybe it won't bother you all as much as it did me? Aside from that, however, it was an awesome drama and I will continue to love it.

Also? Jealousy + Hyun Bin = ?

That said, SUCH A CUTE MOVIE! Seriously lol, it was just adorable. Granted, there were some gross parts (why? Just, why?), but that was mainly at the beginning. The rest was just many minutes of cuteness. Ha-Young is an ordinary girl who is having a string of bad days which are suddenly made worse by a hot college guy, Hyung-Joon. He torments her for quite a bit, but you feel the story shift suddenly into some tenderness. Trust me when I say that you might think you know what's going to happen, but you don't actually know until the very end.

I watched this off of YouTube and, unfortunately, it was pretty bad quality. Still, if you don't mind - watch! (if anyone knows where I can see a better version, let me know!).

I LOVE PLAYFUL KISS. If you search the net, there are a lot of people who did not like this drama because of Oh Ha Ni. I admit that she follows Baek Seung Jo around and some might find her annoying, but I find that she acts her age. She's not vindictive, and truly comes off as a kind and loyal person. I loved this drama from the first time I watched it, and when I watched it again, I only loved it more because I noticed some subtle things I didn't notice the first time.

Also, I've watched the anime, Itazura na Kiss and I've read most of the volumes of the manga - there is a lot of stuff I wish we could have seen with Playful Kiss! However, I still enjoyed the story :)

This movie was so adorable. At first, I was rather surprised as to how long it was, but I thought I'd give it a go. I'm so glad that I did because this movie was a great mix of romance and comedy. The romance is subtle and the movie moves along swiftly - no boring parts here! Junko is a Japanese girl who goes to Korea as an exchange student, but she's also looking to reunite with a guy she is in love with who worked at her father's restaurant. In the process of doing that, however, she meets Jong-Man and the others who live at his father's compound. The guys are what makes this movie so funny.

If you like romance and comedy, you won't be disappointed with this movie. It moves really quickly for a movie of its length. There is subtle jealousy and the act of falling in love, which I always enjoy :)

This is a beloved kdrama - truly. I did enjoy it and I would recommend it to all my kdrama-loving followers. HOWEVER, I was conflicted about the drama because of...the ending. I don't like spoilers, so I won't say anything specific about the ending. What I will say is that I feel that they could have had less episodes for this story (25 eps!). I think that at some points, the duration really hurt the drama because it gave the writers too much space to go in circles in the story. With that said, I don't regret watching this drama, it just isn't one of my favorites.

Plus - Lee Min Ho and Kim Hyun Joong. Enough said.
