My Girl is pretty good drama, though I definately prefer comedy scenes, where miss Yu Rin is in the spothlight. Then the stroy turns into a melodrama and unfortunately, there is sometimes boring too.

Dong Uk or Jun Gi.. I don't kno who is better here..

I wonder what the infatuation could be between Jin Gyu and the assistant. Mandarin sewing was glorious! xD

The love story between In Seon and Il Do needs a special episode... and this french background music from old film..

There was the only one thing, which I can't understand, why they havn't wanted to show the cousin's true face for long time. These shots were really strange...

Seriously, I've just seen a lot of people saying that this drama was boring. Actually, as for me, it wasn't.

Well the story was not that much deep, but it was actually why I liked it. Because it was totally refreshing. It was pleasant. No story of revenge, not that much conspiracy... Actually, it felt light, and I liked it because it didn't was heavy and annoying.

Well, as for the casting. Jung Yonghwa and Park Shin Hye assured it. It wasn't perfect, but it went well. I think it was even rather good. And Kang Minhyuk did a very good job, and you can't hate his character. The cast was good, according to me.

The music was pleasant too, and really present in all the drama. That was nice, even though I'm not a really great fan of Park Shin Hye's voice.

I think that this drama was really refreshing and nice.

Ok first of all i have to sadly admit that even though i like Wu Chun a lot, through this hole drama i`ve felt that this role was meant for Mike He, the hair style too of course.



First i`ll say what i didn`t like about this drama and then what i like. Beside the main role that i mentioned i don`t think the title fits the story and that it has no relation at all with the tragedy Romeo & Juliet. I don`t really see any reasonable reason why they can`t be together till Sui`s competition against Chu Xing in the last episodes. And the thing i personally felt that was exaggerated was that almost all the guys around Sui fell for her and tried to break her and Liang apart same goes for the girls who fell for Liang (wouldn`t have been enough 1 or 2). This is all :P



Now for what i liked goes like this. The story is unique and out of the usual story line. It`s the first drama that made me anxious in watching the next ep but still impatient for watching it. This was what makes it special. The cast acted great and Ariel and Wu Chun had good chemistry going on there (and i`m not contradicting myself what i said first is true even though Wu Chun played well his role, i had the feeling Mike He would fit better). The side characters where good too and i liked them they where all funny. The music was really good too, especially the op song was really good.



It`s a shame i didn`t watch it earlier (because of the title i thought it`s going to be more like a tragedy and tearjerker so it was hard to bring myself to watch it). Don`t make the same mistake as i did. Just watch it, you won`t regret. Even if it`s an old drama it sure doen`t feel like it! Enjoy!

the acting was really bad!! i was fan of PSH acting but in this, she really disappointed me ... i was against JYH´s casting from the start and i think i was right! he does not have the acting skill to begin with!

the other couple did great i think...

i really hated KMH character! this was not its right place!

the story is just disappointing! no story at all! no suspense at all! no everything!

the only thing i like about this drama was its Ost!! extraordinary ^^

I think, this drama is stupid, but in a good way. It is very funny, a few times I felt like dying from laughter. And the fact that everything is realistic makes it even more enjoyable. A bonus is the eye candy - a few very gorgeous men.

This drama, I was hella looking forward to because the two leads were the people I wanted so BAD to be together in YAB, and I couldn't believe that my delusional dream came true!



Although the drama was disappointing in terms of plot wise. The actors and actress are pretty lovable, I absolutely adore the abs guy in this drama he is just absolute eye candy (besides Yonghwa) there should have been more scene with him. Yonghwa's acting was a tad too stiff for my liking, most of the time he looked dead though I thought he seriously improved in the last episode.

And is it just me or was the kisses between Yonghwa and PSH awkward LOOL, its just didn't work for me.

I absolutely LOVED the OST of this drama. The songs 'Because I Miss You' and 'You've Fallen For Me' both sung by Jung Yonghwa are my favourites from the OST.

In my opinion 'Glass Mask' is a perfect drama - actors are doing a great job, I could watch it a thousand times, music is amazing and the story's extraordinary. If you're not at least a little it interested in acting, dramas, theaters etc., then don't watch it, because the most special thing about this drama is how Maya loves acting. This drama for me was very interesting because it showed clearly how Maya developed an understanding of each of her roles, how she became a different person on the stage. It can be funny, sad and touching, and it can either seem boring or loved so much that ir hurts.

I like the anime version more, but still this is the best drama I've ever seen, but I must say that most likely it's interesting only to people who like acting, dramas, theaters etc. very much, because this drama is mostly about acting. I like Maya's character very much. She's a simple girl, not very smart or beautiful, but there's something special about her, and the crazy interest in dramas and theaters is very cute. And the thing I enjoyed the most was how she cherished each role she had and was serious even about small parts. Kitajima Maya was the real actress, the one who could become a different person on stage.

I though Tokyo Dogs is a crime drama, but after watching I've definately changed my mind! It's comedy! There was action, but too little. There weren't any tension thanks to lovely Sou's mother and her life problems with tamagotchi or something else...

Sou and Maruo make great detective team, though both have got specific sense of humor. I don't seep them, but they are funny.

To sum up, the drama isn't the best production, but it can be watched.

Que Sera Sera has gotta be one of the best under-rated Korean dramas out there. The plot and the story are not exceptional, but the excellent acting, screenplay and characterizations make this drama stand out. And what seals the deal is the ending. One of the best Kdrama endings in my opinion. The conversion of the bad guy into a human with emotions has been portrayed meticulously through the various ups and downs and twists in the plot. All the characters with their human flaws and shortcomings will leave a permanent impression on you. Rewatch value is less though, since one wouldn't want to experience all the angst that the leads go through once again.

I was disappointed how the story ended and how there is not much of a plot or anything intense. I was hoping to see more of a content to the series. In the beginning- it was fun to watch until he admitted to her. So that was kind of like end of the series.



The songs are beautiful, they spoke to me.



Both main characters did awesome job performing together, he certainly have improved a lot!



Though I'd like to see more intensity to the kiss between them. It sure looks awkward. No fun in that. Nor enjoyable.

I totally love the story. The acting was great especially between those two main characters. I was able to connect to the female main character. Funny scenes between them that cracks me up.



You have to watch this. Definitely heartfelt funny!



Though the ending could be better but overall a great show.

I liked the story, could have used more content or some more backbone in the main female's character. Kinda of annoying she kept crying a lot. So I'd to see more of her being strong upfront.



Not only that, I thought both main characters have a great chemistry, would love to see more of them bicker in between.



The story is pretty common, though the acting could use a little bit more boost to it.



Overall a good story to watch. I definitely enjoyed myself especially with Lee Minho.

This review may contain spoilers
WARNING-may contain slight spoilers

a marvellous mini series (if that's the correct term)which enthralls right from the start and never lets go. In it's 36 or so hours, it seldom puts a foot wrong. The performances from some of the actors including female are hard to gauge in particular the two leading men, and the leading actressess ie Oh Yoon Ah as hye ap, who i nominate as the sexiest female character I've seen in a long time, and we never even get to see her legs. Then there is Choi Jung Won as Princess Yeon, who is full of grace and serenity. But I have no doubt that the best performance comes from Jung Jin Young as king yuri. plaudits also to among others Kim Hye Ri as as Lady Mi Yoo (Yeo Jin's mother), and Han Jin Hee as King Daeso. yes, there are faults. There is plenty of fighting, but very little blood. At one stage, i thought a character who was being executed had survived. it looked like the excutioners blade had missed him. but no, he had been killed. when one of the main characters is killed in a rather inhumane way, and his friend has the oppurtunity to treat the instigator in like manner, he doesn't. perhaps it's to do with korean tv restrictions. the two leading male and female characters are not without fault. At one stage, she poisons someone, and he has a tendency at times to kill people who are no threat to him. perhaps it was just one person, i can't temember. i see those as positive aspects of the series. When one of the lead characters dies, my heart broke. and i cried like anthing. That is one of the great strenths of korean movies and tv dramas; the emotion they can get from you, and also how they involve you in the stories. highly recommonded without reservations
