The acting was so-so, I never really liked T.O.P's acting. The same goes for Seungri's acting. I'm not saying that they're bad, they're just not that good either :(
BUT, a big BUT, the moral of this movie made it good. They were able to portray it in a good way. I would recomend you to watch this just because of the moral. (AAAND MY ALL-TIME BIAS SEUNGRI, TO ADORABLE!)
Overall it was a good movie, it was quite well-made and the ending left me with a peaceful mind.

This drama is really dramatic and sad, but still really really beautful!
The parents love-story didn't move me that much. And even though the relationship between Ha Na and Seo Jun is the same as the relationship between lovers in other dramas, their chemistry is just splendid. I cought myself many times believing that they were actually a real couple.
I gave the acting 8 "points" because some of the cast were really good, and some were not as good. For example, the actors playing young and old In Ha did an absolutely outstanding job. I could really feel that they were "the same person". The guys playing Dong Wook didn't just cooperate enough to make me believe it. I felt that it was a completely different character in the older days, but I guess I can buy it since they later talked about how they had changed over the years.
In one way I absolitely hated the old Hye Jung but in another way I absolutely adored her. She really did a good job, too bad I didn't see that until the last episode. I think that even though I really hated her, she did the best job in this drama! And that's really refreshing to see, since they usually only focus to cast good actors as the main roles and not as a supportive role.
And the music! Sure, some songs wasn't really in my taste (it's not something I would listen to) but they managed to make the songs fit with the story.
The thing I was most impressed about (when talking about the music) was the swedish song. YES, A SWEDISH SONG! The song I'm talking about is Vem vet (who knows) by Lisa Ekdahl. It's not just that a swedish song startled me in the middle of a korean drama, it's the fact that even the lyrics to the song actually went well with what was happening at that time. I don't know if anyone in the production knew swedish and suggested the song, but I was really impressed. Really refreshing to hear a swedish song, and even a french (I think) one!. It was a nice break from the other dramas that completely lacked other songs than korean or american songs. It was really nice that they decided to break that pattern. More of that please!! :D
To summerize everything I just want to say that the drama was really good and I think they did a splendid work. I have to admit, it takes a real "k-drama-pro" to watch this. (or do you have to be a k-drama-newbie? Who knows? Not you, not me. We know nothing now, we know nothing today). What I meant was, yes it's really slow in the beggining, but once you give it a second chance you won't be betrayed. It's really worth watching!

From the first episode you'll be hooked by the story and yearning for next episode. I had a hard time not watching all episodes at once, I had to restrain myself to not watch it all at one go. The dissapointement when I realized it's over was overwhelming, I just wanted more!
I miss it already!
If you liked Bloody Monday and Bridal Mask, you really should try this drama out! The only warning I'll give is that if you're sensitive to strong images. The drama does after all take place in a hospital, so there will be some pictures of blood and such things. Still, try it out! You really won't regret it! :)

The movie is super adorable, and I wouldn't mind having Jang Geun Seok as a pet, he's suuuuuuuuuuupercute. I know, he's a really good actor but he mostly get's roles that are manly and cool. But seeing him acting cute was on a whole other level. Made me fell in love with him again and realize that he's just too good to be true! *o* You really won't be disappointed by any of the actors, they play their roles really good. Unlike the drama version, I really couldn't stand the guy playing momo. o.o The mean girl made you hate her, the sweet momo made you fall in love with him, the ex made you laugh (because he just doesn't have any luck! XD). The cast is really good!
The other thing I liked about this is that they made it a movie instead of a drama. The story could proceed in a normal pace without letting the audience get bored. It's a perfect runtime for the plot!
The thing I didn't like as much was the music. Sure, it wasn't bad, it's Jang Geun Seok who's singing after all.. But I got a bit confused at the musical. (Can't say more, you'll see for your self if you decide to watch it!) (WITCH I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD!)
Personally, I found a new favourite! :D So I really recommend you to watch this if you like comedy (and some romance)

I was very surprised by the movie, I thought it would be dull and sad all the way through, but it was really cute and warm. The editing was just so beautiful, and there were plenty of beautiful sceneries. And that's something that's hard to find in movies/dramas these days.
Even thought the plot had many clichés, the script was written well enough to make me love it. I loved the randomness in the beginnin when Gong Ning/Lu Xia first met Shi Qiao.
I really don't know what to say, more than watch it. It doesn't matter with genre you like, everyone we'll definitely like this. It's just a very well-made movie that will make you feel all warm and at the same time cry your eyes out.

This drama is really amazing. I was hooked right away. It's perfectly balanced between action, romance and drama. I don't think I've cried like this since I saw 1 litre of tears!
The only two things I think was less good (it's wasn't really bad) was the ending (because it didn't end the way I wanted it to XD) and the acting of some of the cast. Joo Won (Lee Kang To) was excellent, but some of the older cast weren't as good. Alot of the time I got annoyed because they "overplayed" their roles. Yoon Bong-gil (Abe) was just adorable!
If you want a really good drama with all genres included, WATCH BRIDAL MASK! But be prepared to cry alot. And laugh!
WATCH IT WATCH IT WATCH IT! I promise you that you won't regret it!

There's not much to say, the only two negative things about this was:
1. The filming (?), it was way to shaky at some parts to ignore it. I hate that stuff. They probably just wanted to give the drama a more realistic sence with shaky filming, but I just can't buy that stuff. But the scenery and editing was beautiful enough for me to forgive them!
2. TO DAMN SHORT! Atleast make it a movie!? :( I didn't even get to scream at my laptop for them to be together and stop bullsh****ng. That's quite sad, because that's an important step in a drama. You have to get the viewer mad at the characters so that they'll continue watch the drama until they blast out their feelings at eachother etc. I know, I know, it's impossible to get that in such short period of time, but still....
Now now, I won't say I didn't love it, because I did. It was really sweet and all, but I would soooooooooooooooooooooooo looooooooove it even more if it had been a longer drama or atleast a full-time movie! The only good thing about this being so short is that there were not as many fillers as in a regular drama. BUT, I still think they could have atleast made it a movie... >.< Five 10 minutes episodes just weren't enough to make me jump up and down in the end.
The acting was so-so. There weren't many characters in this (actually only 3 and one voice...) Even though I love this pairing, I just really don't think Raine is a good actress. In every drama I watched with her, she's been more or less the same. But I can buy it, because she's adorable and her chemistry with Show Luo is just amazing. Show Luo was not amazing, nor anyway near bad. :)
Still, pleasant to watch. I would reccomend this to everyone who recently watched a sad drama or a love drama they really loved.(haha!)
Or if you just want to watch romance without all the fillers and slow development!
