My rating of 9 is basically a 10. But nothing is perfect, so I never give anything a 10. But Can You Hear My Heart came close. The ending killed me a little bit because it was just a bit stupid considering the events of the series, but that's a minor gripe.



It wasn't as sad as I thought it would be. I mean, it was sad. And I cried a lot. But for some reason I had expected it to be a lot worse. And I don't watch sad shows, so the fact that I loved this despite the fact that it made me cry, means it was exceptional.



All of the relationships and the characters were so well done, and brilliantly acted. Brother to brother, brother to sister, boyfriend to girlfriend, friend to friend, mother to daughter, mother to son, father to son. So many relationships, and so many problems, and even with the sometimes soap opera-esque staring and the occasional bad editing, they made you feel for them with every bone in your body. Every character had something about them that made you want to keep watching them, even if it was because you hated them so much you wanted to watch them die. And trust me, there are several characters that you hate with every fibre of your being.



I didn't really notice the music that much. Which is a good thing. Nothing worse than those dramas where they play the same song so much that by the end of the show, you want to buy the record just so you can smash it into pieces.



It did get quite depressing in the last few episodes. Not as many funny scenes. I can't believe it was a 30 episode series, and I actually enjoyed the entire thing. Usually drama's that go for more than 16 episodes tend to drag out the ending and get a bit boring. But this show, even at 30 episodes, never did.



Credit to the writers, actors, director, and everyone that made this show possible. I'm so very glad I decided to watch it.

I was really expecting a lot form this drama. Since this year, so far I watched a lot of action dramas involving spies and stuff but this drama had more romance and comedy in it which made it enjoyable at some parts. The drama started off pretty good. It was good enough for me to continue watching it, but after awhile it just dragged on and the story became too long. Don't even get me started with the ending. The ending was very shocking and very rushed. I was very surprised at the way in ended. It was a happy ending but it wasn't the perfect ending I was hoping for. Things weren't even explain and so I finished this drama with many questions unanswered. Overall the drama was okay. It was watchable!

ok guys, Ikemen Desu Ne isn't a bad drama and in some aspects I really liked it, its just a premature remake. So I normally don't write reviews when there is a lot of them but most of the reviews I have read are missing a key problem. The original You Are Beautiful, has some seriously hot guys, all in their own right, who without the makeup or clothes were totally scream worthy. IDN is completely lacking! The male characters are cute but not scream worthy, because of this I really didn't care when I was watching.

Leaving the comparisons aside, the story moved pretty quickly, there was a good ending and the main characters had good character development going on. However, about half of the cast was over-acting, under-acting or just poorly acting. The female lead was great, adorable, enchanting and loveable. The male lead was trying to re-create Geum Suk's character but really looked either in pain or constipated. Unfortunately, the shun character was well played but wasn't given enough time to develop, and the Yuki character was over- acted.

The story had some holes in it but they were cutting a lot of stuff so thats understandable. I feel like the writers honed in on the main point of the story and milked it as much as they could. Sad to say, a lot of other parts and characters were left lacking like step children.

When I first saw it I was excited and mad at the same time. How dare they remake this master piece?! But think of it like a refresher course with an alternate ending. Let me give you an analogy; If YAB was a Ivy League university, IDN would be community college.

Bad Couple had a good balance of funny and emotional moments. the story went at a good pace but there was times when I said okay when is she gonna reveal her sercrets cause it got a bit tiring in the middle. I actually enjoyed the romance between the main female\''s friend and the model. I wish they had a better ending though cause it was kind of unclear whether they had stayed in touch or not. The ending for the main couple was cute.

I liked the cast but I wasnt in love with them. Thier acting was very good though. To be honest I never grew to like the main female character. I kept watching to see Ryu Su Young\''s smile.

The music was very good although with 2 songs it got to be a little repatative.

I\''m not sure whether Id watch this drama again just because I dont feel I have to see the characters again.

Overall this has an interesting enough story but I dont have any special feelings for it. I\''d reccommend watching it once though when you\''ve exhausted better choices.

The only reason to watch this is for Park Shin Hye & joo Sang Wook...

Story- Your average family drama. It wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be. The plot was very good but there were too many episodes. It really doesnt start to get good till 15 episodes in. The ending was welcomed although the way they wrote the romance between Lee Min Jung's character and the second brother was a little rushed so thier ending was kind of like "Say what?" Thier characters were underused and their romance could have filled up more space and made the story more interesting.

Acting/Cast- Very good acting by the main characters of course but I did find thier pairing a bit strange. I mean JSW is more than 10 yrs older than PSH. The supporting cast all filled their roles well. As I said though LMJ was quite underused and I thought her character was cute/funny.

Music- Average OST; nothing memorable but fit the scenes well.

Rewatch- Its rewatchable but because the story is so average I'm not sure Id watch this again or not.

Overall Kimcheed Radishes is very good but would have been much more enjoyable if cut by 14 episodes. Id say watch for the leads.

I have such mixed feeling about this drama. It definitely earns some high drama marks for being addictive. The main character goes through so much betrayal, and the step mother is one of the most ruthless characters I have ever seen. There's also a great love "rectangle", which includes some awesome chemistry between the main characters. What stopped me from loving this drama is the fact that it's 28 episodes long, and what fills up that time is sometimes boring, annoying, & repetitive.

Way too much time is spent on characters whining about money. They whine about not having enough, who's getting it, and how to get more of it. I was tempted to fast forward through some scenes with particular characters, but I was afraid I'd miss too many key plot points. I would have preferred it if Lee Seung Ki, and Han Hyo Joo had more screen time together instead.

Though I loved watching Lee Seung Ki's character's transformation the most, the entire cast impressed me. Of course Kim Mi Sook stands out as the epitome of a wicked stepmother, but she could have had less screen time in my opinion. Quite a few of the characters have really good epic crying scenes, though I personally was never moved to tears by the story. Still, the actor that impressed me the most overall was actually Yun Joon Suk, who was so believable that I initially thought he was autistic.

I am glad that I decided to stick with it, and watched the whole thing. There are definitely a few moments that I already want to watch again, but I don't know if I could ever watch all 28 episodes again.

Pls. dont read synopsis/trailers/reviews in DC..it has spoilers

PS: To avoid crying, keep repeating...its only a movie..its only a movie.. its only a a movie x10

This is probably "the best film with dogs in it" ive seen..and its probably better than the film "Hachiko" even its a true story. (oops...but Hachiko's ending is one of a kind)

note: the above is just a bit exagerated by me

The dog alone should probably win best actor award :)

This movie is cute but heavy in scenarios and emotions and sometimes unpredictable because often suspenseful and touching that even a person with a metal heart will melt.

This drama started off really great and thrilling but after a couple of episodes it sometimes got really boring. Since it focused on the action, a lot of the same things happened but just with different people. The story is full of mystery and I really like it but sometimes I felt like it was dragging a bit. The whole cast is great and I really like them all. Si Won is getting better and better every time I see him act. He is really good. I'm kind of disappointed since I was kind of expecting a lot from this drama but for me it was just a bit slow. Sometimes I thought that it didn't even need 16 episodes. So the drama overall is ok.

I previously wrote a review for this drama but it got deleted when the site got hacked. Gives me the chance to write an even better review for it though (:



Hana Kimi was my first ever drama and I absolutely loved it! I originally read the manga and it became one of my favorites and I stumbled across this live-version. The drama was loosely based off of the manga, but there was so many things about this drama that made me not care about it. The funny, hilarious, and random events that happened, I still rewatch those scenes over and over again. I've watched this drama twice and my favorite parts a hundred times. The story might not seem that original nowadays, but there's something special about Hana Kimi.



The acting was great, especially Ikuta Toma as Nakatsu Shuichi! He was my favorite character in the manga and he felt more real in this version, and plus he was downright funny! I loved Jiro in the Taiwan version, but Toma plays the best Nakatsu [in my opinion] (: Horikita Maki was a good Mizuki, I don't have any complaints about her. I wasn't a fan of Oguri Shun as Sano, only because his character seems a bit dark while the original Sano is more like Wu Chun in the Taiwanese version. That's my only complaint. Not that he acted his part badly, but how his character was written for this drama just didn't win me over.



I loved all the music to Hana Kimi! From "Ikenai Taiyou" to "Peach" to all of the instrumentals. I absolutely love "Ikemen Boogie" and it's one of my all time favorite instrumentals.



I've watched this drama twice and I plan on watching it more than that!



Overall: If you're looking for something light and funny I recommend this drama if you haven't already seen it. There are many funny moments and you might find yourself replaying them over and over again (:
