If you're a fan of Bi Rain...then you won't like to miss his BEST role ever....
It's one of writer Lee's great works "she also wrote Sorry I Love You, A Love To Kill, Thank You, Innocent Man..."
The plot for this show was really great and the acting was fabulous...
both Rain and Gong Hyo Jin played their roles perfectly but the big surprise was Lee Dong Gun...he was so great that you won't mind seeing him end up with Sang Doo (the male lead) instead of Eun Hwan...
for short this drama has it all from humor to drama to romance to school...For me it's Just a must watch ^^

This movie feels like a documentary that depicts the ups and downs in the relationship of a very ordinary couple!
Personally I loved it!
Story: the story of most couples in this universe...we all lived/ will live this story (or at least parts of it)...a very ordinary couple breaks up...then they get back together...then they break up...that simple...the funny thing that at the end the movie describes itself as a boring story of a regular couple...but I didn't really find it boring :D
Acting/Cast: both did a great job in their roles...specially Min Ki...he improved a lot though his character is pretty much regular he made it seem really special…with the right expression and accent...he was just living the role!
Music: nothing special!
Rewatch Value: I'll definitely rewatch this but as I've already seen the whole thing and it's not much on the comedy...I didn't rate it high!
*Overall the movie had a simple idea...treated it well...the leads had good chemistry...it was definitely worth watching (Y)
*This isn't a sweet, heartwarming or funny movie but a realistic one...please put that in mind when you go watch it so you don't get disappointed :)

Everything About My Relationship...the title literally describes the drama ^.^ it's it's pure romance mixed with humor & lots of cuteness...

The acting is more than good with great chemistry from the whole cast...

The music was OK fitting but not much to make me excited...
I'll sure watch this when I need some laughs mixed with lots of cuteness :D

I loved this drama...I know the plot was simple but that gives it more points for me...no stupid drama staffed in the plot & unjustified misunderstandings...
They broke up & get back together in 2 min.s...because they love each other...
This is how characters should be...there wasn't any annoying characters & amazing finale...this how a drama should be...relaxing & yet not boring at all...
I had a good time & I couldn't get mad at my couple because together they were so good.

At the beginning this felt like the modern version of Beauty and The Beast...
Yai the lost son of Khun Baisan comes back to his farm to get his inheritance and revenges his father's death from his stepmother...he appears as cave man with non-modernized behavior...scares everyone and pretends to be a gangster...he enjoys tormenting the beautiful young maid Pin...and forces her to be his wife...but he turns out to be a loving prince charming!
A very interesting plot...with one crazy villain...nice supporting characters...a mixture of Action, Drama, Romance, humor...that kept me hooked throughout the long 22 eps...it was smartly written that there was always something going on...no place for speed watching...I expected it to drag a lot but surprisingly it didn't...it also has many cliffhangers that will make you keep watching and it was filmed during airing which somehow made the drama quality even better!
The male lead character was smart, strong, dependable, playful, and very warm...a real prince charming...and Weir played this character perfectly...it's hard to imagine any other actor in his place...
But the female lead character was quit annoying - too good to be true - she was also very naive (he even used to call her stupid child) but she wised up a little at the end!
The N'ek and P'ek chemistry was very good...their scenes would always make me smile!
The music puts you in good mode...and I'm glad the main songs were sang by our leads!
I don't usually re-watch dramas but maybe in a couple of years when I forget it enough!
In short if you guys want a well-written Lakorn with lots of twists and turns with a cast that has a good chemistry and a refreshingly charming male lead character...I highly recommend this one!

The drama is about a man who commits suicide...
Once you read this you'd think that it's a gloomy depressing drama...but it isn't!
As the name says "A Bittersweet Life" this drama might have a bitter sad moments but it's full of sweet moments too!
The main lead is a mysterious man...he could be sweet and cute as a little puppy in one sec...then he turns to a crazy maniac the following sec just as the other title indicates "Demons Living In My Body"....I think LDW did his best in this role...
his character is what ties the 3 other leads together!
the drama gives equal time to all the 4 characters to tell their story...
All the actors did great in portraying their characters!
The OST is amazing...all the parts are touching and fit with the drama!
I'll definitely re-watch my favorite scenes from time to time!
Finally: this is an unusual drama in all aspects...I highly recommend it for those bored with the normal cliches!

Even though many may disagree with me...
Sorry I love you is the equivalence to masterpiece for me...masterpiece is not about perfection...it's about how the drama affects me...
even though I've only watched this drama 8 years ago ( and that I've never re-watched it) I remember every scene in it...every feeling it gave to me...every tear I shed for Cha Mu Hyuk's pain...no drama ever have affected me that much... it taught me more about family than any family drama...and more about love than any romantic one...it taught me about life, pain and happiness...it opened me to emotions I would've never felt & to thoughts I would've never thought...for the 1st time I saw death beautiful & suicide OK...for the 1st time I knew what love actually mean...it's not that complex...it's what makes you happy...useless sacrifices are not needed...living the time you have left together is what really matters...being by each others side even in death.
I Love that drama...not because of how good it was written or the brilliant acting or the nice direction...I love it because it made me see things in myself I would've never seen...and I know for sure...If that 11 years old young me didn't accidentally watch that drama at that time...I would've never been the same person I am today :)

*** For the music I love the OST...Snow-Flowers is one of the best Korean songs I've ever heard.
*** one day I'll re-watch it and I know it'll affect me the same way or maybe even more :)

The story might seem a cliche but it's full of surprises...really entertaining...cute and heart warming...I totally loved it...actually while watching it I wished If it was a 16 eps drama not just 1 ep...things go really fast and I never felt bored ^^

The acting with brilliant...even though I've never seen most of the actors before...I loved them all...they fitted their roles will...and the KISS was so good

There were only 2 songs but they fitted the story pretty well and liked them a lot :)

Once I'm bored, or in need for a nice loveable moments in my life...I'll definitely watch this and I'll enjoy it again...even though what happens won't surprise me again...I'll still enjoy the cute/funny/romantic moments :D

If you haven't watched this special yet...start it now...it will only cost you an hour and you won't regret it :*

*For the story I've got to start it by saying that there were Medical mistakes and the Med. part wasn't that strong but what I really like about the story is how complex the characters are and how interesting their psychological struggle...there's also 3 men in this drama who are the same person but in different ages (Sang Chul - Kang Hun - Seong Man) those 3 may betray each other, hate each other...make each other struggle but in time of need they stand for each other and protect each other because at the end they are the same person...I thought that to write those characters & keep them balanced you need to be a great writer...add to that...the supporting characters were really interesting...I found myself cheering for them and waiting for their relationships to grow.

*When it comes to acting I really don't know what to say...it's Shin Ha Kyun the most talented actor ever...the short guy who's not so good looking but yet his smile makes me fly of happiness & his tears destroy me...his acting is real for me...once I watch him on screen I feel like I'm there with him in his world...
I thought at 1st that this drama will be showing us how wrong Dr. Lee Kang Hun was in his methods & in seeking success...It's the thing I hate most in K-drama the perfect humans they portray (Like in King Of Baking) but this drama is not about that...it shows an imperfect man who's cold, arrogant and selfish...someone wasted the time he had with his mother and followed a stupid revenge - that was eventually against himself...yet this drama glorifies his unlimited ambitions...that's what i love about this drama...that at the end they didn't let him sacrifice his Ego but respected and protected him.

*The OST was really good and fitting with the drama...the song Solitude makes me cry while listening to it even without understanding the lyrics...really good I also read that Kim Hyun Joong recommended the song Closer.

*The reason I enjoyed this drama a lot was the characters and the acting...so I'll definitely re-watch it.

*There's only a few kisses in this drama but they are good & the romantic scenes were touching...also the weakness of most Korean actors is crying scenes but it's a strong part of this drama...the way Shin Ha Kyun cries was destroying me...it was so good and so real that I wanted to hug Dr. Lee. :')

*Hope this review was helpful...I'm really grateful I watched this drama...it's not that popular...but it was one of the best I've ever seen...just give it a shot...you might get hooked from the 1st ep like me ^.^

Even in this cold weather & in the middle of my exams...this drama really warmed me...the characters were close to my heart...I could easily relate to their emotions...as expected from the writer of My Lovely Sam Soon...this wasn't some stupid Rom/Com...it had some deep multilayer characters...I highly recommend this to anyone who's passed through a long cycle of depression in his life...this is a drama that will open your hidden wounds and give you a chance to understand yourself more!
I'm thankful for the writer and the cast who didn't give up on this though the ratings were bad and still did their best!
The acting was really good...I'm now a YSY fan...the female lead was a bit expressionless but you get used to it...all the supporting cast was great...specially Professor Tae Hwa!
The music was good & fitting but nothing expectational.
I'll definitely re-watch this :)
Last thing: What makes this drama so special are is the little details of each character...
I hope you guys enjoy this too ;)

I've already watched 2 versions of that movie "the American famous one with Richard Gere & another Egyptian version"...
and I've got to say...this is my favorite...
it's brilliant...the plot, the act, the lines, the dance...I loved every minute of it & I'm grateful I watched it "which was just luck"
for any one who've seen the American movie "whether you liked it or not" give this a chance & watch it please ^^

These are simply my thoughts about the main characters and the drama overall...
I LOVED IT...sincerely I loved every minute of it...the the Idea of revenge in itself isn't something new but still the plot was tight and I felt hocked to the story...
I was already a fan for writer Lee's dramas "Sang Doo let's go to school, Sorry I love you...
So I prepared myself for something full of emotions that will make me shed tears and I wasn't disappointed...
the truth is that it was a lot more better than what I expected it to be ^^...
Kang Ma Roo:
I was in love with that character it seemed a bit "stupid" for me it resembled Love more than revenge...and after few eps I started understanding it more...he was in love with Jea Hee and he understood her more than any one else he knew what she passed through during her childhood...
Ma Roo always protected Jae Hee since they were children he believed she was the Love of his life...every dream he from his childhood included her and he couldn't make anyone else take her place in his heart...Until he met Eun Gi...
even though it was supposed to be for revenge...it really wasn't like that because all what Ma Roo really wanted was to have Jae Hee back...
the story goes on and some bad events happen and that makes Ma Roo carries some feelings - out of guilt - for Eun Gi that sooner turns into Love that he will be ready to give his life for her and prays that he dies and then in another new life they would fall in Love again like normal people.
**one last thing to mention is that Song Joong Ki proved that he is a brilliant actor and not just a handsome face by playing that complicated character that good (that review is not full)

Hilarious, sweet & charming...that's how I'd describe it...
Tsuru & Eri finally get their happy ending...
I no longer feel sorry for tada-san he's got a good friend by his side...
and Ken finally proposes to Rei ^^
the only thing missing for me is "who's the fairy?" they could have used him more...
I also wanted to see more of Mikio as I really liked him...
but that's OK...
it was a beautiful journey with all those lovely characters. ^^

I liked the story...
it's about the struggle of a pregnant woman to raise her child after being dumped by her "brilliant, well-educated boyfriend" for another rich woman....
her paths meet with those of a young single dad who is the illegitimate son of a rich man & he was dumped by his wife too for being poor...
their fight for their children was really impressive & the acting was great...
it's the only thing that had Choi Phillip as the lead and he did great job...
I didn't notice the music and it's really long to re-watch, it's also hard to find...still was worth watching ^^

I've already reviewed each ep so that's gonna be short...
the story is unique I loved that each ep was special on it's own & it's about a simple basic Idea..."getting the chance to repair your old mistakes" and If it didn't work then face your reality & change now for the future...
it's beautiful, touching & I personally learned many lessons from it ^^
*do your best as long as you have time to.
*chance wasted is a chance wasted.
*good friends are gonna be your shelter when you need them.
*fight for your love because it's worth it.
*the past has gone but your future is within your hands.
*it's not always about the "wrong" you did, maybe it's about the "good" you didn't do.
the things Ken done for Rei & the friendship those five had made me really enviable...
the acting was really good & all the side characters did great job...
the music was wonderful...I really loved the song...
and I'll definitely re-watch this...
don't forget about the special or you won't get the full story ^^
