So many feelings after watching this! I can't believe that I missed out on such a great drama for so long. Hands down the best historical drama that I've watched: magical, tragic, inspiring and so much more than a TV series. It combines a magnificent story, history, visuals and a captivating soundtrack!

I've seen that people have been rewatching this drama multiple times, and that's what I'll do in a couple of months as well. But as for my first time watching this, I really enjoyed it. And I can't find a single flaw in it. I haven't watched the parent story to this, but Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo was an amazing remake, I'll tell you that. It made me waver between characters, I still have a hard time letting my heart decide who should end up with who. Nevertheless, this great experience couldn't have been so great if it wasn't for the actors themselves. The star-studded cast was amazing, especially all of the princes. I'd read some criticizing comments about IU's performance, however, as her first major role, I think she did spectacular and even more experienced towards the end. I haven't looked how the plot coheres to actual Korean history, but I got so excited and interested, that I've picked up a book to read on it. To add, the OST increased the satisfaction of watching this about 50%. All of the songs were spot on with the lyrics, the artist choice is incredible, but I was a tad bit sad that IU didn't have a single in her own drama.

Overall, if you're not watching this, you're missing out big time. This drama is one of the best historical Korean series in my opinion, it sucks you in and let's you go all sad and weeping at the end, but it's so worth the bragging!

I remember watching the movie called The Beauty Inside earlier this year and it was magical! When I heard that a TV drama of the same title was about to air, I felt nostalgia and excitement filling my body. But the drama had disappointed me...

I'm a bit generous when I give this drama 7/10 as an overall, but I couldn't give it less since I admire the movie too much. Just like many other Korean shows, it started off amazing, and slowly but surely went on to be a waste of time. The plot was a spin on the gender: now, a woman was going to change her appearance once a month, which I thought was a bit more fair, since she turns back to herself and leads a perfectly normal lifestyle after changing back. Furthermore, I'm a big admirer of the actress Seo Hyun Jin and her work, so naturally, I had really high expectations for this drama. I knew that the actress would still shine when the show went downhill, her presence kind of saved the show in the end??? But the main flaws with this series was how unreal the relationship between the leads felt. Also, the male lead's illness was the biggest wtf I've seen in a long time (way to go, Korean scriptwriters, you're very creative). In addition, some side characters lacked screen time and you couldn't really delve into their own little stories. And the biggest issue of them all was the amount of episodes. They just purely ran out of ideas. Example A: the last episode was utterly unnecessary and had no effect on the viewers whatsoever. As a big plus, I'd say the soundtrack is very nice to listen to. That's all.

So, before watching this, give the maternal movie a watch. I'm sure you'll fall in love with the film, then you can compare it with this show. I still don't know if it was worth watching with all of the empty-meaning episodes...

It was super cute. I love how some of these web dramas are straight to the point, not even rushed in that short amount of time and how the characters are so cute and create the perfect chemistry. Like most of the people who watched this, I fell in love with the main couple and I'd love to see the main couple playing in a full length drama. To keep this review short and minimal, I'd say go and watch it as it's literally straightforward, cutesy, fun and gives you the 100% fluff factor. It's a light watch in between any longer dramas, the cinematography is crisp and refreshing as well.

I'm a bit surprised that I'm currently the one person who gave this movie a really positive review. As an anti-fan of horror movie, I'd say this one wasn't as much scary as how disturbingly good it was. Personally, this really reminds me of Battle Royale and I absolutely adored that movie. This film has a bit of everything: thrills, suspense, horror some romance here and there, and to my luck - no jump scares! I'm a sucker for romance, so the chemistry between the main couple had me jumping up and down from time to time. There are clearly some plot holes that make you question this movie's existence and the reasons behind it, but I hope people start watching this with a light heart and not taking it too seriously. Overall, a non-scary horror with a captivating storyline, perfect to watch in a group of friends on Halloween.

It was a great Friday movie pick! And I'll say it - even better than some of the Hollywood movies about werewolves and the supernatural. Of course, there were no special-effects or anything like that because the story is the main focus. Indeed, it gets very shocking, cute and most importantly emotional as the story progresses. Personally, I shed only a couple of tears and, like most people, wasn't satisfied with the ending. I was really moved by Song Joong Ki's performance as he stayed quiet almost during the whole movie. The relationship between the main characters was very fitting as the actors were chosen wisely. I loved the slow but strong character development as well. However, it's not a perfect 10 from me because I'm not too keen on these werewolf or vampire movies in general. But nevertheless, if you're a fan of these uncommon love stories between a girl and a beast, definitely give this a go. This movie has a different feel from other films with a similar vibe, so it's definitely worth watching!

This short movie was simply adorable, heart-warming and full of light. I'm amazed how they managed to pull off such a cute and romantic story in 30 minutes without rushing the story and script. Stories about people who are disabled somehow always make me feel weak and unappreciative, but this one I could simply enjoy just like any other films. The actors were very professional to take such skill-demanding roles, their performance simply amazed me. Overall, this short movie was not rushed at all, very easy to watch and left a big smile on my face. There definitely needs to be more 30 minute movies like this one. Please, take that half hour of your day to watch it - it'll make you all warm on the inside!

From now on, Age of Youth will take a special place in my heart. Coincidentally, I have 4 best friends just like in the drama, so while watching it, I could relate on a whole other level.

This drama revolves around 5 flatmates, their struggles, love stories and every day life living together. The story is a refreshing slice of life and super realistic, not to mention the ever changing relationships between those girls. I guess that's what we, females, are: feisty, sisterly, weak, independent and courageous. Personally, I could relate to all of the characters, even though they are completely different and unique. In addition, I couldn't pick a favorite female lead because they had so much to offer personality wise. The other actors in this drama were so talented and they acted everything out so naturally too.

I kept on putting off this drama because I'm a huge sucker for anything romance and overly fluffy scenes, and I kind of knew that this drama wouldn't offer a lot of that. Surprisingly enough, the friendship theme won me over. Romance is still on of the main genres in the series and I had my favorite couples here and there, but believe me when I say that the comedy was top notch. Personally, I shed a lot of tears as well. When you live through so many emotions, then you know that the drama series was worth your time!

Another element that I just have to mention is the musical track of Age of Youth. From the very beginning, you can sense that the drama will have some sort of a French theme, with the apartment's name "Belle Epoque" and from the first sight of the landlady who is such a Parisienne. The OST includes not only Korean, but many English and French songs too. The music creates such a melancholic vibe and fits the storyline with the characters so well!

Overall, Age of Youth will now be on my top drama list for many reasons mentioned above! It makes you treasure your girl friends even more after the amazing end. Now, I'll be heading to watch the season 2 because I still can't get over it!

This was a really fun recap and behind the scenes episode to watch. It was aired before the actual show, however, I suggest watching it right after you finish the actual drama. This 1 hour long episode let's you in on the set, different filming locations, which were the most fascinating part for me. Also, you get to hear what every actor was like during and before the shoot, see their relationships from up close. Generally, this is a very fun and entertaining episode that you'll like if you loved the drama itself!

Time traveling? A story happening in Japan? I've heard of this somewhere before...

Actually, this story reminded me of that time I watch The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and the Endless 8 episode cycle. Again, time traveling is nothing new or exciting to me. I really liked the fact that the directors decided not to loop the same scenes and show the same footage over and over again. Just like an anime, this was a beautiful summer romance story based in Japan at its most intriguing time - summer. However, the romance and the feelings between the main characters seemed very odd to me. I've been meaning to watch this movie for quite a long time since Kentaro Sakaguchi is in this, but I didn't enjoy his performance here. And the leads didn't have that strong of a chemistry. Since this is mainly a movie based on a musical story, I quite enjoyed the soundtrack and the live performances. Frankly, I don't know what to add. Probably that the story is lacking something more, a deeper meaning perhaps.

Anyway, it's a good movie. GOOD as in just regular, nothing too meaningful or unforgettable.

What a refreshing drama this was! Honestly, very funny and quirky!

So start things of, yes, this is a ridiculous drama so people who are interested in serious dramas with a deep meaning should dodge it. I've seen so many comments saying how unrealistic and dumb the plot and the characters are, but this is the whole point of this series - to sit back, relax and enjoy something called "escaping the reality".  First off, the story is kind of like a jumbled up version of both Korean drama and American television cliches: the love-hate relationship, the evil mother, love triangles etc. Somehow, all of these story elements are what make this drama so good and entertaining. Secondly, the characters now to me feel like someone I know already. Not to sound crazy or anything, they feel so real and you actually want to have them in your life. In the first episodes, I didn't really like the female lead, but as the story progressed, I began to see her charms and how talented and pretty the actress is. Also, a huge shout-out to the second lead, who I feel like is so unappreciated.  Damn, Jung Jin Woon is smokin' hot and super talented! I don't get why people didn't like his character. I mean, he was like a supportive friend, a super realistic fling, an obnoxious youngster so he definitely deserves my best character award for this drama! Number three is the music. Honestly, this OST is basically made up of unicorns, candy and rainbow sprinkles - so adorable! The songs made me fuzzy and pumped up inside, hence a great sign of a good drama. And last but not least, would I re-watch it? Hell yeah, with a friend or two!

Overall, an amazing drama that let's you pleasantly enjoy the messed up but fun lives of the heroes in this drama! If you're looking for a com-rom that is a must-see classic, this is it!

I watched it during a 10 hour flight on a plane. As I'm mostly into Korean and Japanese dramas and movies, this was my first Taiwanese movie actually. Reading the plot, it got me really hooked up and excited from the beginning. It's your typical coming-of-age  happy-go-lucky movie, where you can predict whom is going to end up with whom, how the story is going to unravel itself. Who doesn't love a good school romance about first love, bullies, rivals and the harsh education system? I've watched dramas and movies with the same theme over and over again, but this movie was definitely something special and will surely become one of my classic favorite Asian movies.
Not giving away the setting of the story too much, one of my favorite things was that the actual storyline is set somewhere in the 80s/90s, so the actual vibe felt very real. I think I enjoyed the chemistry and the growing relationship of the 2 main characters. The romance was super natural and made me chuckle at least 10 times during the whole film. Also, the actors were gorgeous to say the least.
Without much rambling, everything about this movie is splendid and enjoyable. If you are a sucker for lighthearted love stories, you'll definitely want to watched this movie. It's worth watching and I know that I'll be rewatching ir some time soon. Oh, you'll thank me later for this recommendation! <3

This is the type of drama that I would recommend solemnly for the cast. I mean, 7 of some of the hottest hunks of the Korean drama industry, yes please! So if you like eye candy, then go for it! However, the story itself is very dull and not exciting at all, the female lead's acting skills were a bit too sloppy in my opinion. I get why the creators made this drama to advertise, because it really draws attention to some of the products and brands. For my liking, the drama was too transparent and lifeless. Would not re-watch it again!

Another great drama from a spectacular writer!

The Legend of the Blue Sea is probably one of the greatest multi-genre drama series out there. Starting from the fantasy genre that all of the kids grew up with, continuing with romance, comedy and thriller all throughout the show. The cinematography was superb, especially when shooting historical locations and scenes. The story is pretty much straightforward, however, it lacked some originality, especially towards the end.
I enjoyed the cast of the drama a lot. Wasn't a fan of Lee Min Ho actually, but his acting was ridiculously good. I wouldn't imagine any other actor playing his character. The main and side characters made me fall in love with them as well. Furthermore, I want to put a huge emphasis on the fashion that the stylists chose for this drama. The clothing items were an eye candy for me and an inspiration.

Definitely a drama to come back to after a couple of years. It's magical, romantic and very fresh. Big applause for the directors, creators, actors and the staff, they did an amazing job!

I was desperately trying to find time to finish this drama after watching it from the beginning when it first started to air, well because I just fell out of it. The first couple of episodes were really promising and interesting, but the further the series progressed, the more dragged the story went. I'm glad that the creators decided to kind of "revive" the series in the last episodes because they were really powerful and a put a great end to the story.

This drama has become one of my favorites not because of the storyline or the idea of time traveling, but because of the unique little components of the whole drama. For example, you can't deny the chemistry between the leads Ma Rin and So Joon. I found myself smiling like crazy when I saw them together being all lovey-dovey. They're both really talented actors for sure. Furthermore, I admire really soft tones and colors when it comes to the filmography. The filming and editing crew did a spectacular job of capturing the most beautiful shots of the drama. And you can't forget the OST. It really made the drama emotional and translated the overall feelings of the characters.

In conclusion, this is definitely a different type of series when it comes to the whole Korean Drama world. I've never seen such a spectacularly filmed series, not to mention the talented actors and the musicians behind the songs. Give it a go if you want to watch something a bit more heavier, but with plenty of cute scenes!

Started watching this in the beginning of my Asian drama discovery. Gave this a go because I'm a huge fan of Japanese high school themed anime, manga and drama, but was quite disappointed with this one. It was overly fake, the jokes weren't even that funny and the characters were definitely cringe-worthy. This series is just a very generic and simple Japanese drama based on the manga, I'd recommend picking something else instead of wasting time with this one.
