The drama is a MUST watch, the story, cast and music is great, i had so much fun and excitement watching this drama, it kept me watching till the end, the whole idea got my attention, the actors/actresses were great, especially Orihara Maya (Kichise Michiko) the main character was awesome too, i also love how the main character is young and intelligent, plus the people around him are related to Third-I and the President, and of course third-i was so awesome, but i'll tell you this enjoy the first Bloody Monday cause the second isn't as great as the first.

This was the first Japanese movie I ever saw! Even though its been a long time since I watched it, I still remember a lot about it. I remember how amazing the acting was and how original the storyline was. This isn't the type of movie I usually watch and I'm not sure why I ended up watching this it in the first place, but I'm glad I did! If you decide to watch this movie I think you will be glad that you did. :)

What can be said about Baek Dong Soo?
It is certainly a great historical drama. It gives you a brief idea how the politics are working, along the daily life during the Joseon period, with very good costumes, make-up and setting.

I think most of the audience would probably agree with me that the story was good but definitely could be better...Not only the main male ones but all the characters are simply charming and it is also a fact the actors have very good chemistry but there was something that bothered me. First, the female characters/actors appeared to be a little weak or even dull. Second, Yoo Seung Hoo/ Yeo Won is simply too perfect. Like most of the audience I fell in love with the character and the actor. I wonder if this is a minus...

And the music...That is another story...I basically fell in love with the music. It fit the period, charackters, story, everything.

To sum up, Musa Baek Dong Soo is a very good historical drama that would not waste your time. The pace may sometimes get a little slower but don't lose hope, it is definitely worth to watch till the end, because of its competetive story, epic music, and suprising acting.

Let me preface this by saying I am a hardcore kimi wa petto fan with matsujun. (he was sooo cute!) I would also like to mention that although I liked Geun Seok, I really felt hat he was too handsome and not cute enough. However when I watched the movie I became a fan, not enough to topple kimi wa petto, but enough to be a hair’s difference.
First are the comparisions. They have the same concept, but in kimi wa petto I still feel that matsumoto jun was way cuter, like puppy dog cute, but JGs was the kind of puppy you could see as a man. The chemistry between Ha Neul and JGS was like brother sister and she didn’t start off as cold as the lady from kimi wa petto- maybe because a drama has more time. Still, the movie brought out some points that the drama didn’t touch on, and although they are very similar, it almost feels like a different story.
I really like how they pretty much let JGS get manish from day one, so when the transition from pet to man came it didn’t seem so awkward. I didn’t like that there were some holes in the plot (I filled them in myself from kimi wa petto), and I also didn’t like how JGS’s goal was so sketchy and undefined. ballet to musicals? really?? his dancing seemed a bit stiff, and a bit much, but singing was heavenly. (but they did show off his singing, so yea! i missed it after YAB.)
All in all I would definitely watch again I liked all the eye candy, and the concept from the drama. If it can convert an Arashi, matsujun fan girl like me, it will be fun for all.

I think by now everyone knows the story behind High School Musical. This movie is a Chinese adaption of the original high school musical movie. With Chen Zi Han starring as Ning Ning, The chinese version of the schoolbright girl who has an urge to reach towards the stars to find her way into the music world.

I was actually pretty surprised when watching this movie. Originally, Yes I was a fan of the original HSM when it arrived aswell, And allthough the plot is pretty much the same in both movies I feel that this version was more mature than the original made by Disney. Music in the show with all different syles added. From the most beautiful ballads to the most lively hiphop songs. This movie is sure to have music for everyone to enjoy. The Movie's message being; ''We're all in this together'' It was better displayed in this version.

Ning Ning is a girl who's recently moved into the neighborhood and so she is transfering schools along with it. With Strict parents not allowing her to have a boyfriend, and forcing her to constantly study, She reaches secretly for the stars in order to find something new that she can do. Surprised to find her hands leading her the way towards ''Poet'', The Basketball Teams captain with simillar dreams as hers, Here on starts a romance who will have its share of difficulties awaiting ahead.
..Will Ning Ning and Poet's love be able to take it?

In this movie you'll face romance, comedy and drama in genres.
Its a pretty good movie, I actually fullheartedly believe, despite of me liking the original filmseries too, This movie is better.
Its a movie I'd recommend to all music and romance lovers.
Depite of the plots of the movies being exactly the same, The movies are nothing alike.. Both fans and people who didn't like the original series will enjoy this.

With a satisfying soundtrack, I feel that this remake is as good as it could have been. It even beats the original in several aspects.. The rewatch value is high, I know I'll be re-watching this later atleast..

I liked the anime version much better but this movie wasn't bad at all. The storyline was a bit different and I actually enjoyed watching it. I was satisfied with the ending. No fake twists so that the ending would be "perfect and happy." It was better than that.

Anyway, it was entertaining and It has the right amount of fluffy romance ;)

This was the last movie i thought i wouldn't watch. But a friend told me to give it a try. To me it wasn't that much appealing, but as the story goes on it became more and more interesting. What's more surprising is that the ending made it very unique. i don't want to be a spoiler, so i'll just stop her. better watch this on your own:)

I love this drama because of the acting and the music. I love the side stories as much as the main story. It made me laugh and cry. I learned a lot about classical music from this drama. I have always listened to classical music, but I don't know much about the stories behind the people that write it. It opened up a new world and I have since read several books on the lives of classical musicians. The main characters were awesome and the love story was really great. You will regret not watching this drama.

I knew what this drama had in store for me just by knowing the general plot line of it. I've been teetering on the edge of finishing this drama just because I knew it was going to be angst packed & heart breaking, but it was worth it all. The thing I loved most about this drama is that its portrayed in such a realistic way - living with Dementia is one of the most heart breaking, saddening things that can happen to a family. Watching it happen first hand just takes the cake. The acting? perfect. The story progression? flawless. The only thing that I can say is bad about the drama (& you can't even say 'bad' but more like 'realistic') is the reality of it all. Soo Ae is flawless & this is probably one of my favorites by her.

You may think that 30 episodes is just too much but how the drama was written is actually great. You just don't know what you'll gonna get next. I'm not exaggerating when I say like how people commented on a Sidney Sheldon book--"if you want a book that you can put down, go to Sidney". I can fairly say if you want a kdrama which you can't stop watching and will always be anticipating on what will happen next..go watch "Baker King". The actors deserve a trophies for sure. One thing that I don't like much about this drama is the love story inserted to it..though this drama does not focus on that but it kinda confused me. The ending and the twist of the story is definitely the best. 100% highly recommended but I strongly suggest you watch it with a tissue with you..a lot of tissue. :D

Ok..let me start by saying I have watched this kdrama for the nth time and still it makes me shiver/tremble every time I watch it. It will make you laugh, cry and fall in love over and over again. This drama just made me head-over-heels in love with Lee Min Ho. Go Jun Pyo and Gong Jan Di were just perfect for each other. The places that they've been to..argh...especially New Caledonia..pure beauty. The fireworks set by JunPyo for JanDi..the kissing scenes..were just all romantic. I can't even say which part or episode I loved the most because I love all of it and every bit of it. And don't mention the music/songs..I have it all in my mp3. To summarize it all..I'm not being exaggerated or what not, but for me, you missed half of your life if you haven't seen this kdrama yet. Better watch it to believe it.

The drama "You're Beautiful" lives by it title. It is indeed beautiful. This is the first movie of Jang Geun Suk that I watched and I liked it. It's more of a drama for high schoolers but it will make anyone smile..well..laugh is the more appropriate word. Tae Kyung (Jang Geun Suk) and Mi Nam (Park Shin Hye) were just a perfect match. Their small fights were just funny..very funny in fact. The other actors like Lee Hong Ki as Kang On Yu / Jeremy is adorable and for Jung Yong Hwa as Kang Shin Woo..I pity him..wishing there is another Mi Nam so everybody will be happy. The twist at the end part is fairly convincing. I like the "love revelation" part also but what I loved the most is the episode where the 3 men fight over Mi Nam. :D

Well, I gave this drama a 10/10 score definitely because it had me laugh and fell in-love all through out. It's more like a Cinderella story. This is the kind of story that makes you want to fall-in all over again..or make you wish that someday a man like "Kim Joo Won" will come to your life. If you want to forget your problems and just want to smile, laugh..etc..don't miss this movie.

Not to mention the house of Kim Joo Won (Hyun Bin)..OMG! I've been dreaming to have one. :D

Lee Min Ho in a different genre. Goodbye the lovie-dovie thing. This one is serious and he did a great job. The story is great. Its an action-drama story with a twist. The actors did great--everyone were convincing enough. One minor thing though..the ending is predictable..however, over-all. Lee min ho did a great job on this one..really great job. Two thumbs-up.
