A drama similar to WH SECRETARY KIM, but not as good
It was ok, i enjoyed watching...STORY - the positive reasons of the drama are others than the plot.The story is similar to other dramas. Side stories not very interesting...
And hard working girl and a rich good man meet and...
CAST- good job of the main actors.
MUSIC - i liked one song. Do not remember the others...
REWATCH - do not think so.... Maybe one or two scenes. I prefer rewatching better dramas with similar plots.
OVERALL - i enjoyed watching. Did not liked the end very much, especially the job decisions of the FL. Did not enjoy the unemployed golfer husband... Or the story of ML's Mother and the take smiles...

The brain is a wonderful place to drill...
Should have been shorter...STORY - a so and so story about a man with a damage part of the brain that prevents him to feel empathy towards others. A very skilled neurosurgeon, who is magnificent in the diagnose of the patients "the body nevers lie".
The plot is not very deep, some issues remains open and the main focus goes from a mistery about medical research or even the past of the ML to a love or something like that relationship.
I do not mind the end, i like happy endings. But it makes no sense some of the events...
ACTING - the acting was good. The ML is very good with a very interesting part. The FL is a little dumb, specially in the begining. The villains are not very interesting and the secondary parts are also not very engaging to me.
MUSIC - i really do not remember the OST.
REWATCH - maybe... maybe one or two scenes, but i think there are better hospital dramas.
OVERALL - i had fun to watch, specially the ML acting.

The end is terrible...
Cannot separate the feelings i felt throughout this drama with those felt in the last few episodes.The last 2 are horrible for me. The ending is badly edited and really bad.
STORY - interesting story, with ancient curses and myths that were more or less wrapped together. An old alien clan lives among humans. For a strange reason, some fell in love with humans and the plot emerged. A mixed child is born and there we go, a story like so many juvenile stories.
To save the loved one, they have to sacrifice one or reborn again to die… unrequited love or more than one choice…
ACTING - i like the acting of the main Leads and all the characters in the three love triangles. The villains are awful and not interesting.
Male lead was strong and righteous and FL was very strong and brave. Their chemistry was ok.
MUSIC - liked the ending melody. The rest I did not pay much attention to. Since I do not understand Chinese, I think I did not appreciate it as much as I should.
REWATCH - definitely no! The end will always haunt my neurons. Maybe one or two scenes…
OVERALL - i really cannot really say what to think. It started ok, was ok in the middle and was awful in the end…

Feeling good...
A little longer than it should, but i liked it.STORY – a typical story where people are wrongfully traded, and happiness appears.
It is a simple story, better, two stories entwined and other 2 or 3 stories going along, all about love.
The villains are non-existent or just bad and uninteresting.
ACTING – good acting for the leading actors and main characters. Did not like the lack of violence toward the killers, treating the ruffians nicely while they try to kill them. Lots of poison involved, a plot with one or two interesting twisted and too many coincidences for my personal taste.
MUSIC – I am not a fan of this kind of music, so it was not important for me.
REWATCH – some scenes I could gladly rewatch. The whole drama I do not think so, but it is not a bad thought to do it.
OVERALL – I was pleased to watch this drama. It is light (too much in some senses), almost seems to me that this is a show for youngsters viewers also, due to the jolly fighting scenes.
Overall, it was a YES for me.

There is something wrong in my understanding of japanese love
Just finished the drama.STORY - The story could be interesting to me, but the glue that sticks it all is so uninteresting… And that glue is Ito. A man that does not care at all for his lovers. And 4 lovers that do not have any self-esteem. Or maybe there is something quite different in Japanese ways of loving.
I like strong women characters, and in this drama, they are all the opposite.
ACTING – good acting for the most part, even if the characters are not very interesting…
MUSIC – there was a song that I enjoy very much.
REWATCH – will not watch again since I did not like it very much.
OVERALL – do not know what to say. The end is absurd to me. Knock Knock, it’s ITO?!?!?!!?!?!?!
I rate this regarding my feelings watching this. Nothing special about the production, so I stick to the plot.

A japanese "Clockwork Orange"?
The movie is a little weird and i love out-of-the-box movies. The gang of the pantie’s "ninjas", the cult of the zero church (zero must symbolizes the number of synapses of the members), even the question of faith and lust, misandry, and so on…The almost 4 hours does not matter, the story can carry on with different layers…
STORY – lots of intertwined stories in one.
ACTING – I think it was the best of the movie. Wonderful!
MUSIC – not bad but will not remain in my mind except one or two.
REWATCH – some of the crazy and funny scenes yes!
OVERALL - I do not know what to expect because humans can be worse than people think, and reality is more creative than fiction. So maybe the characters could behave like they did. But that is not as important to the movie. The ending is ok, especially the last scene.
But, reading the reviews and watching the movie after… I was trying to discover the masterpiece that was mentioned and all the accolades that were written. I could not find any…
Do not know if a comparison is due, but Clockwork Orange is much much better in addressing some of the themes of this movie and the atmosphere.
Funny, interesting but noooooooooooo, not a masterpiece nor a 10 star!!!
I do not mind when someone gives 10 stars to a show, but do not use technical terms of words like masterpiece. It is not true, mainly in Japanese filmography that is amazing!

Worst than the first one
I like Azumi character and i try to like the movie. It is ok for a dull afternoon or a rainy night...my review is almost the same as the review of the first Azumi movie.
STORY – the story is the continuation of the first one, but not as interesting. Power struggle between 2 factions. The notion of honour and personal sacrifice for a better collective outcome. Tenkai against Sanada. Doppelganger Nashi and filthy and ugly adversaries to the astonishing beautiful and sexy Azumi.
ACTING – did not like Azumi’s fighting scenes and the adversaries were less interesting than the first movie. The choreography was boring for me, and I prefer samurai movies than marvel superheroes…
MUSIC – I really did not pay attention, so I think it was not so special to me. The ending music was good.
REWATCH – I do not think I will. Mostly because the fight scenes were not good enough and the plot was not so dense.
OVERALL – the end of the story, with boring choreography and characters.

A B, better, C movie...
I love Martial arts and Samurai movies, mangas and anime!I wanted so much to like this one…
STORY – the story is very good. Power struggle between 2 factions. The notion of honour and personal sacrifice for a better collective outcome.
Azumi is one of 10 amazing assassins trained in a remote mountain for a mission of preventing a war. She is gorgeous, the best of them and was chosen to accomplish the mission of killing 3 war lords. And there it goes…
ACTING – some of the actors were skilled and agile. Azumi was not the best of them, I think this movie lacked good choreography and it lacked good athletes and performers in the fight scenes…
MUSIC – I really did not pay attention, so I think it was not so special to me.
REWATCH – I do not think I will. Mostly because the fight scenes were not good enough and the plot was not so dense.
OVERALL – I am European, so I thought the Arnold movie Commando was the one where more people were killed. I think this surpasses that one, with not so good choreography or acting. There are some interesting characters and that’s it.
In 2003 there are excellent technology and choreographers. Maybe they were on vacation...

I have a strange taste in my mouth… I want to adore this movie, but the end was long and mellow… so I just liked it…
STORY – not much of a plot. Yeo Kyung Jin is a force of nature that, because of the past, lives her sister’s life… Myung Woo meets her in a bizarre situation. He wants to see the real girl and he falls in love for the real person and not the cop. Lots of funny scenes, stupid decisions, and a feel-good chemistry.
ACTING – wonderful acting of both leading roles. The others almost do not exist.
MUSIC – beautiful and “painted” most of the scenes very well.
REWATCH – do not think so. I cannot separate the movie from that ending. Maybe one or 2 scenes.
OVERALL – I get that some people feel similarities to the movie my sassy girl. I prefer that ending much more. It is better in every way. But I think the middle of the movie and the chemistry is better in this one. Wish it was perfect to me as it was to so many!

Good quality movies remains forever...
Just finished the movie. I think i am writing this more as a memento to myself than for reviewing it.THE STORY: interesting how it went. A girl that lost her boyfriend, a man that lacks purpose in life, as it is normal in that age. And then… chaos… a chaotic relationship, strange sado-maso funny moments… Two person linked so nice, great chemistry and a relationship that only both can comprehend.
A burden carried by her in her heart… how to forget a lost lover
?… a burden carried by him… how to make her forget him and make her happy?
To unite they must break… opposite feelings and behaviour and…
Maybe a tree will always wait for us…
ACTING: very good, completely centered in these two, Gyun Woo and the Sassy Girl.
MUSIC: how can anyone not love Canon in D composed by Pachelbel?!?!?
REWATCH: definitely! Especially the last 15 minutes, where such different moments and feelings come into place?
OVERALL: a bizarre feel-good story! But I love having this beautiful feeling of happiness after watching something that can stick to me as a little part of myself. Even better when rapped in a different story!
The end is almost perfect!

So many stories badly blended...
I love romances.I even try to endure the absurd length of this show, the boring pace and shallow characters.
So… here I go…
STORY – the premise could lead to a great story… Lots of stories badly condensed in a show. Maybe some could be developed or not even included… Maybe there will be a time without movie actors or singers… Really try hard to like the idea of that couple or even imagining 5 years of silent dinner…
Most of the characters are envolved in a masochist relationship, fighting to see who suffers more to protect others…
ACTING
Choi Sang Eun (Park Min Young) – I like her shows. I think this one is one of the worst I saw from her, specially because of the story and her character…
Jung Ji Ho (Go Kyung Pyo) – lacking any social skills became a judge. His love for Sang-Eun is sweet, he even showed power and competence taking care of her…With him I learn that in Korea a broken arm leads to spending days in the Hospital…
His team was good entertainment…
Kim Jae Young (Kang Hae Jin) – of course, the actor. Very likable. A little naïve with his feelings and actions that put all in risk. His team was ok.
Lee Joo Bin (Jung Ji Eun) – a good alpinist, climbing the ladder of the rich and powerful… thought that her end would be different.
Jin Kyung (Yoo Mi Ho) – Badass woman. Mixed feelings about her. Deserves most of the interest in the drama for me. Could her story be more explored…
MUSIC – I do not follow much k-pop and that kind of music. Some are great, but in this show, I cannot remember any…
REWATCH VALUE – maybe one or two scenes, but I doubt. In every aspect in a show, I can recall better shows than this.
OVERALL – sometimes I had to watch in 1,5x because it was a little boring, especially the boomerang story in the second half. I enjoyed enough not to think that I completely wasted my time.

A story with ballet, but not about ballet. / Uma história com ballet, mas não sobre ballet.
A story with ballet, but not about ballet.STORY - A magnificent and confident ballerina goes blind. Before that, she lost her parents in an accident. Discouraged, frustrated, she lost herself in a world of self-destruction and lack of interest in life. No friends, her own family wish her misfortune and only two loyal servants support her.
Her desire is to commit suicide, but a very clumsy and incompetent angel appears, who saves her, going against his duties.
Twists and turns, loves and dislikes and scenes involving the dynamics of angels (Wings of Desire by Wim Wenders please return!).
She recovers her eyesight, can dance again and, miraculously, continues to outperform all the others. With a new choreographer (like Daedalus fallen from the sky), she prepares for the premiere of the new show and….
Love conquers all.
The villains are despicable and uninteresting. Imbecile uncles, a cousin who feigns ignorance and for whom they destroy Yeon Seo's life. And her psychopathic older cousin.
The boss in charge of the Angel is boring, the almost homeless ballerina and teacher…
ACTING - Shin Hye Sun is an excellent actress and, as always, is superb in a role that could be better. The rest, almost all of them, despite a hole below, fulfill their roles.
MUSIC – with the music of Ballet present the quality is immediate.
REWATCH – I don't think so. There is no scene that stands out, the story is extremely boring as far as the celestial part is concerned (sounds like Philip K Dick's The Adjustment Bureau – but written badly), the villainy scenes are boring. Even the romance didn't convince me. Everything was very fast, the falling in love, which is strange in a Korean series where, normally, a kiss takes 10 episodes or does not appear at all.
OVERALL – I love rom-coms, I think the lead actress is divine in her performances (especially in Mr. Queen), I always wish for happy endings, which are not outlandish, but which may not be the most logical ending to a drama. But this one didn't convince me.
Uma história com ballet, mas não sobre ballet.
HISTÓRIA - uma magnífica e confiante bailarina fica cega. Antes disso perde os pais num acidente, Desanimada, frustrada, perde-se num mundo de autodestruição e desinteresse pela vida. Sem amigos, com familiares que desejam o seu infortúnio e apenas apoiada por dois leais empregados.
O seu desejo é suicidar-se, mas aparece um anjo muito trapalhão e incompetente, que a salva, contrariando as suas funções.
Voltas e reviravoltas, amores e desamores e as cenas envolvendo a dinâmica dos anjos (volta “Wings of Desire” de Wim Wenders!...).
Recupera a visão, volta a poder dançar e, miraculosamente, continua melhor que as demais. Com um novo coreógrafo (qual Dédalo caído do céu), prepara-se para a estreia do novo espetáculo e….
Os vilões são desprezíveis e pouco interessantes. Uns tios imbecis, uma prima que finge ignorância e pela qual destroem a vida Yeon Seo. E a sua psicopata irmã mais velha.
ACTING - Shin Hye Sun é uma excelente atriz e, como sempre, é soberba um papel que poderia ser melhor. Os restantes, quase todos, apesar de um furo abaixo, cumprem os seus papéis.
MÚSICA – com a música das obras de Ballet como pano de fundo a qualidade é imediata.
REWATCH – não me parece. Não há nenhuma cena que se destaque, a história é extremamente aborrecida no que diz respeito à parte celestial (parece o The Adjustment Bureau de Philip K Dick - de fraca qualidade), as cenas de vilania são chatas. Mesmo o romance não me convenceu. Tudo muito rápido, o que é estranho numa série Coreana onde, normalmente, um beijo demora 10 episódios ou até não aparece.
EM SUMA – adoro rom-coms, acho a atriz principal divina nas suas atuações (especialmente em Mr. Queen). Desejo sempre finais felizes, que não sejam estapafúrdios, mas que possam não ser o final mais lógico de um drama. Mas este não me convenceu.

I was completely misguided by the wonderful reviews...
After seeing this miniseries and after the comments and reviews, I was confused.
STORY – it's so uninteresting I don't even know if I get it right. Short version: an innocent, unintelligent girl is manipulated into being a murderer. And she kills a lot of people, including some bad ones (innocent people will be the fruit of youth and for that we can forgive her)...
Cha Yeon Jin is born with the purpose of providing stem cells to the Criminal Kwon Do Hwan, supposedly his progenitor. Meanwhile, the leader of the boss's assassin group, Yoo Seong Ho, runs away with the surrogate mother along with her daughter.
Later, due to activities related to the bad guy's scientific research (which are reminiscent of a lot of science fiction movies), the mother Jang In Sook is kidnapped. The great protector Seong Ho and Yeon Jin kill one of the criminals. While Yeon Jin finds her mother who is murdered by poor copies of Alex DeLarge, from the movie A Clockwork Orange, the protector must have had an attack of sciatica and only appears at the end to see Yeon Jin “killed” by his former recruit, Min Jin. Then, without understanding why, the protector leaves the scene (perhaps to smoke a cigarette or snort oxygen) and Yeon Jin decides to accompany a woman she has never seen and become a murderer, with the promise of avenging her mother.
But, of course, a murderess must be literate and that's why she goes to school. At school, there's a boy who has the misfortune of falling in love with her. Great mysteries happen, such as knowing if she is good at Mathematics and if there is a waiver from Physical Education.
Ah, in the middle of all this there is the incompetent Choi Tae Yeong, a detective who appears at the beginning, doing nothing, in the middle (perhaps to attend some classes at school) and at the end, doing very little.
A lot of people are killed, which is good for reducing personnel costs, between well-choreographed scenes. In one of the scenes we realized that Min Jin must have myopia, because she hits everything that moves at long distances, but up close she is a disgrace.
In the end, the killer ends up going out with her friends and… the end is so scary that it seems to open up possibilities for a second series”!!!!!!
ACTING – there are good acting. The role of Killer K is well done, within the character's shallow depth.
MUSIC – I don't remember any.
REWATCH – no! There are countless better movies and series on revenge, crimes and murders and all the miscellaneous themes we want to encompass. For action scenes it is ok.
OVERALL – there are some interesting scenes and could be very interesting. It could be condensed into a 90' film, explore the parts of the story that seem interesting and forget about the rest.
Again, I don't understand the justifications for such high ratings. Perhaps having read them I expected something with much more quality…
Após ver esta minissérie e depois dos comentários e resenhas, fiquei confuso.
HISTÓRIA – é tão desinteressante que nem sei se percebi. Versão curta: uma menina inocente e pouco inteligente é manipulada e torna-se uma assassina. E mata muita gente, entre os quais algumas más pessoas (as pessoas inocentes serão fruto da juventude e por isso podemos perdoar à menina). Cha Yeon Jin nasce com o propósito de fornecer células estaminais ao Criminoso Kwon Do Hwan, supostamente o seu progenitor. Entretanto, o líder do grupo de assassinos do chefe, Yoo Seong Ho, foge com a mãe de aluguer juntamente com a filha.
Mais tarde, devido a atividades relacionadas com as pesquisas científicas do mauzão (que lembram imensos filmes de ficção científica), a mãe Jang In Sook é raptada. O grande protetor Seong Ho e Yeon Jin matam um dos criminosos. Enquanto Yeon Jin encontra a mãe que é assassinada por umas cópias rascas de Alex DeLarge, do filme a Laranja Mecânica, o protetor deve ter tido um ataque de ciática e só aparece no fim para ver a Yeon Jin “morta” pela sua ex recruta, Min Jin. Depois, sem que se entenda o porquê, o protetor sai de cena (talvez para fumar um cigarro ou snifar oxigénio) e Yeon Jin decide acompanhar uma mulher que nunca viu e tornar-se uma assassina, com a promessa de vingar a mãe.
Mas, claro, uma assassina deve ser literata e por isso vai à escola. Na escola aparece um rapaz que tem a infelicidade de se apaixonar por ela. Grandes mistérios acontecem, como por exemplo saber se é boa a Matemática e se tem dispensa da prática de Educação Física.
Ah, no meio disto tudo existe o incompetente Choi Tae Yeong, um detetive que aparece no início, não fazendo nada, no meio (talvez para assistir a umas aulas na escola) e no fim, fazendo muito pouco.
Mata-se muita gente, o que é bom para reduzir custos de pessoal, entre cenas bem coreografadas. Numa das cenas percebemos que Min Jin deve ter miopia, pois acerta em tudo o que mexe a longas distâncias, mas de perto é uma desgraça.
No fim, a assassina termina a sair com as amigas e… o fim é tão assustador que parece abrir hipóteses de uma segunda série”!!!!!!
ACTING – há bons atores e atrizes. O papel da Killer K é bem feito, dentro da pouca profundidade da personagem.
MÚSICA – não me recordo de nenhuma.
REWATCH – não! Há incontáveis filmes e séries melhores em vingança, crimes e assassinos e toda a miscelânea de temas que queiramos englobar. Para cenas de ação há melhores.
OVERALL – tem umas cenas interessantes e poderia ser muito interessante. Poder-se-ia condensar num filme de 90’, explorar as partes da história que parecem interessantes e esquecer as demais.
Mais uma vez, não compreendo as justificações para classificações tão altas. Talvez por as ter lido esperasse algo com muita mais qualidade…

Ignorance disguise as friendship
Cute Yo is so ignorant that she does not realize that Ishida Ren has always been in love with her.Interesting knowing that she dated some men, had boyfriends, but never compare how different her "best friend" was and why did he behave like that.
Living happily ever selfish, she could count on Ren every time. She wants to marry someone that can love her. WTF?!?!?!?!!?!?.
Does she deserve Ren’s love? Do not think so… Does Ren deserve to have this adoration for Yo?...
STORY - it is interesting the way that her job is portrait, her love for the shoes and the way she uses shoes to live her life… That part was very good for me.
A “bestie” always by her side, a former Boyfriend so stupid and selfish that she wants to go back to him and married, a painful feeling of longing and unintended love be Ren…
But the end can wash away all that.
ACTING – I really like it. The 2 main leads are very cute and there is a warm feeling as a sort of peeping tom. Everyone made a good job.
MUSIC – suits the mood very well.
REWATCH – maybe some parts. The way Ren loved her, the beautiful gestures he did…
OVERALL – even if sometimes I wish Ren could find someone that could cherish his ten year love, they are wonderful together. The ending, after that marathon, seems short. But I have almost always this feeling with JDramas.

Waste of time
I have some guilty pleasures. One is roma-coms or happy endings dramas.This fits that category, but...
So so so many clichest most done in a wrong and forgettable way.
Nothing new...
STORY - A girl does not like Filipino men and that is it. Boring story for me and the way the story develops is also bland.
ACTING - since I am not into fan stuff, I do not know much about the actors. For me, even the performance is really bad. Maybe it could have something to do with the English dialogs...
MUSIC - one calm with English lyrics was ok. The rest reminded me b or c movies from USA. The bad ones.
REWATCH - never!
OVERALL - even as a hangover recovery in a Sunday afternoon this is not good, since it is so bad.
Do not recommend to anyone, especially with so many productions way better than this one...
