It starts off with Joe getting into trouble and events lead him to the prison where he begins to follow the lessons from the "old man" on boxing. After getting into a couple more fights he meets the guy who makes him want to really get into boxing by basically Joe just wanting to just beat him.
It shows the intense training and how hard they work up for their fight together.
If there was much music in the movie I didn't really notice since I was too busy watching all the fighting haha.
Some scenes might be a little sad but the ending and movie as a whole I'd say was good.

About the acting aspect, Kim Hyun Joong is not the best actor out there but his role in this drama make him believable unlike his former role in BOF. The role fits his character. As for the rest.. All I can say they did a wonderful job! I think many of this drama viewers did not like the way Hana stalks/love Baek like she doesn't have a life at all but if you follow the manga, she's really like that!
Overall, it's a must watch to people who likes watching young romance.

This is about a guy who leaves home to study music at a university. His ambition is to one day produce indie pop songs to the world. There's just a small problem.
He takes a job part-time as a lead singer of a metal band. Although it's only a temporary job... or so he thought.
It jumps a few years later and he's still in the band but now it's becomed a extremely popular underground metal band. He produces music for the band but clearly this isn't what he wants.
The band rises up worldwide becoming the next number 1 heavy metal band and in the end, they have a duel against a former heavy metal artist, Jack.
This is absolutely funny, couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole movie. A must watch if you're looking for some comedy.

This review may contain spoilers
Without posting spoilers it's difficult to explain why I liked this drama so much. First, the story was interesting from beginning to end. I didn't feel like there was any lag as it got close to the end.
Second, I easily related to the male lead because I have some of the same issues he does.
Third, despite all the ups and downs I enjoyed the family dynamic.
Fourth, good combination of romance, comedy, and friendship
Last, excellent chemistry between all the actors.

And kudos for casting beautiful actors/actresses and this movie sequel is closer to the Japanese movie Battle Royale.
The only thing that bothers me is the ending... It keeps as hanging. But overall I recommend it!

For acting wise, Chae Tae Hyun once again proven himself that he's a real actor! I'm a bona fide fan of him now.
I love the music in this movie so relaxing. The story telling is one of a kind... So touching yet cozy.
As for the only downside of this movie. It actually bores me in the middle and for those who gave up half way of this movie missed the beautiful part coz the ending makes my tears flow... If any of the viewer of this movie didn't tear at all then he/she must be stoned!
So I recommend this to you guys and make sure to watch it with your family.

So I will not recommend this to watch even if you are a big fan of Kim Bum.. Trully disappointing..

I mean seriously.
This show is amazing.
Let me just make a short list of all the things I love about this drama:
* Just when you think it has hit the peak of its awesomeness, they bring something else to the table that tops it, always surprising me with different plot twists.
* It continuously blows my mind how its a 20 episode show and there has yet to be a slow or only mildly interesting episode. Each episode brings forth new, steadily building climax and isn’t flattening out or losing steam like I’ve seen so many other shows do when they get 3/4 of the way through.
* For the most part the characters are very interesting, unique, and layered (and for once the mother-in-law isn’t an evil witch; bonus points just for that).
* The show centers around two separate relationships so there is no miserable love squares. Both couples have unique, beautiful yet unpredictable relationships (and they all have great chemistry, additional bonus points).
* It has a constantly, and realistically, evolving plot with evolving characters to match. The growth throughout the show in each individual character is very apparent.
* It is a pleasant blend of romance, angst, politics, and action with comedy sprinkled here and there. It never dwells too long on one subject which keeps it fresh and interesting.
The only reason why I give it 9's for music and rewatch value is because the music is great it just isn't wow. I don't notice it very much which can be good and bad. That means that it flows very nicely with the scenes and the music queues are spot on, but the actual music itself I never bother listening to because it's nothing terribly interesting? I guess it's good just not good enough that I think "wow I want to buy this OST album"
As for the rewatch value, I never give any drama a 10 because it's quite impossible, for at least myself, to enjoy a drama the second time around as much as the first time. This is one of those shows that has some great twists and turns that keeps the plot very lively but watching it the second time around knowing what would happen just wouldn't be the same. So 9/10
But overall it's quite excellent! I give this a 10. Highly recommend this one to all drama watchers!

-WARNING-
There is A LOT of blood filled, cruel and violent scenes in the film!
This movie is filled with action from the beginning until the very end. And our handsome and righteous hero, played by Won Bin, is doing some serious ass kicking in each and every second scene and keeps astonishing the viewers with his epic moves.
The actors are awesome and I am especially impressed by the actress playing the little girl who acted out her character very well. Furthermore, Won Bin is doing a great job as well and impresses me with looking ever so handsome no matter what feeling he expresses to the audience. No doubt, he's one of my favourite actors.
The plot is very intriguing and it makes you stay alert until the credits are shown. It involves both drugs and illegal trades of other... products... And you can never completely relax while watching it since there's always something going on and you can always tell that Won Bin can NOT screw this up, or he'll be fucked...
For those who like it; the fighting scenes are extremely well done and the cruelty is on its' top level.
Even though this was a serious movie I find it extremely funny at times and I really appreciate the jokes and faces that are smoothly added to the story.
The music was well timed and followed the plot well, though it was a bit predictable and the ending song can be questioned. I didn't notice this until the second time I watched it so I don't think you should let it stop you from watching it though.
I recommend it to anyone who enjos a good action movie with an interesting plot!

Watch it, even if it's just a certain bridge scene. Overall excellent with solid acting & very touching!
The music is perfect for it too especially the ending theme by Makihara Noriyuki (Firefly ~ Boku wa Ikite iku)!

The cast is a perfect fit too. Ichihara Hayato is great in this. He's such an enthusiastic actor. He brought a lot to Eikichi's character & made him very endearing to watch. This drama is such a great tale of optimism, perseverance, growing up & learning to work with others. Every single episode is entertaining & meaningful.
There's no need to watch the first movie, drama or final movie to enjoy this. They are completely unrelated other than having the same theme as a base.
I skipped the first series just because I wanted to watch something I hadn't seen with Ichihara Hayato & was only going to check out a couple of EP's before I had other stuff to do but I was hooked from the first episode & just couldn't stop unless I really had to.
As much as I would have loved to see more the ending suited the mood of Water Boys 2 perfectly. This is how feel-good dramas should be. I really wouldn't change a thing. Well maybe I would XD. I'd add another 20 episodes LOL!!!

There is really only one main theme running throughout the entire drama stemming from one main event that happens in the past but it manages to never be boring. I watched Triangle in practically one sitting. I just couldn't tear myself away. Each episode seemed really short even so it was the standard 45 minutes!
I'm so glad I didn't ignore this one. I can't recommend this drama enough. Definitely worth the journey though & completely surprised me.
The OST is seriously amazing too! I listen to it all the time. Great for having on in the background while working.
