The sweet, romantic story. I love the cute love in drama. The all couples are lovely and they are different from each other. It's a pity, that Xiao Cai didn't find boyfriend... Jiang Meng's gang had some guys without girlfriends... ^^

Rainie Yang is so pretty! I'm positively surprised, because I had a trauma after I had watched ToGetHer with the actress.

I don't accept the style of the characters, but Yang Ping and Ceng Shao Zong are cute. If they were dressed better, they would be very handsome! I've known it that Masuyama Yuki has japanese links... Completely different type of beauty!

Scent of a Woman was a very enjoyable drama and, as the plot summary may have given away, a major tearjerker. If you don't like to cry in dramas, then SaoW is not for you, but if you don't mind it, then it's ability to make its viewers cry is noteworthy. The acting was very good, and Kim Sun Ah can seriously cry at the drop of a hat. Overall I felt the story was missing just a little something towards the end and there were episodes that needed more plot development, but not enough to detract from its overall awesomeness. The OST was enjoyable, but not great. Overall, SaoW is very interesting, and while the plot is traditional, it is a drama that I would highly recommend.

To be honest the acting outshines the actual plot/story. The story was really good but somehow i didn't find it exceptional. Won Bin really impressed me with his acting. It's like he played two different characters cause in the beginning he is like this quiet/loner pawn shop guy then he turns into tho raging killing lunatic. Both are hot btw=D The little actress was really good too. I liked the supporting characters, they were funny to me. Overall this movie probably could have been more exciting just because the story was a little predictable and the ending was blah. Still the acting is top notch so worth the watch.

Wahhh...not that bad as i expected it to be :P so you should try watch it when bored - i recommend it ^__^



Even tough it`s not that special of a drama but still i feel like this is rather underrated.

So my opinion: Story - pretty good, interesting, funny & exciting, well i liked the idea of 3 guys liking 1 girl and i especially enjoyed when Johnny & Moo Ryong are together spying on Yoo Hee...really funny and the part where Moo Ryong lives with Yoo Hee. Ah... the cooking skills in the show where a great idea really captures ones attention.

Acting/cast - i liked the cast they fit their roles well as for the acting i think there should be some improvements here and there but it was`n bad. Between Moo Ryong & Yoo Hee there was definitely chemistry but not enough.

The Music - was exceptionally good 1 of the best points of the drama. For re-watching(i don`t usually re-watch dramas) - maybe :P

So Overall - i gave it a 9 since i didn`t got bored watching it and loved the story.



The 2nd best point in this drama where the earrings Yoo Hee(especially her) and the other girls where wearing(they where standing out xD) - i really loved them all xD

2 words: Epic disappointment.

And it started so good too! Lets get to the pros and cons-

It was an awesome idea to start with a cold blooded woman being melted by a cheery, wanna-be chef. I loved the way that the drama started the story line was moving and developing, different situations occurring, it was exciting! But the story got boring, very predictable, slow and the idea went to crap. Although the concept was Yoo Hee's transformation into a kinder more presentable lady, it happened within the first 6 episodes. This drama focused more on Yoo Hee's love triangles and her naivety in love than her being a tsundere character.I am so frustrated because I didn't like the ending, and I feel like it was a waste of time.

The music is really catchy throughout the drama and for the most part its really well placed. I didn't like Ga In, maybe her acting skills were developing because I loved her in Bad Man. I did like Jae Hee, but his characters seem to be the same in EVERY drama. (although I absolutely hated what happened with his girlfriend in this drama) Dennis Oh and Kim Jeong Hoong were awful, as far as acting goes. The cast didn't seem to have much chemistry, none of the characters really seemed in love with the exception of Jun Hye Bin. Hye Bin was believable!

All in all, you really have to fight through to the end because its boring. However you want to see the characters develop because it begins really charming, funny and cute. My advice start and watch till the 11th episode at that point you can skip to the end. Trust me you wont miss much.

Story - it had it's good points and approached serious issues. there wasn't an extreme attention to the gay couple and world and the story talked about important issues besides that. The bad point is that I didn't really get if they're a couple in the end or not.

Cast - I love the characters! The actors are amazing and, in my opinion, choosed perfectly. I love every single one of them.

Music - I didn't pay much attention to it, but in no time did it seem inappropriate for the moments.

Rewatch value - I would definitly rewatch this, because I love the characters so much!

Overall - It was a great story and amazing characters. Too bad Ki Beom and Su-yeong didn't form a couple. I thought they were amazing together... Anyway, this film is woth your time.

I liked it a lot. It wasn't overly stressful to watch and I love loyalty in any romantic lead roles. Lots of cute guys and the acting was good. There were many cute and sweet moments and it's always nice to see a lead that appears to be able to actually kiss in an Asian drama. All the characters were well rounded and played well off each other. I liked that there were no near death experiences except the goldfish and they were saved at the start. I was impressed that the writers did NOT fall into the typical Asian drama trap where the story required trains or airplanes or long drawn out separations, evil ex's, missed phone calls, missing each other by a fraction of a second on the street or huge stupid misunderstanding to progress the story. They totally bypassed all that nonsense and did it all fabulously and still had the leads like each other early on and never had them hate each other after getting together. I mean they really did well I thought. I want to find more similar to it.

This drama is one of those that I put on my to watch list, just because, and I was thoroughly surprised. Don't watch this drama, if you don't like investigative/cop drama's. One of the things that I liked about this drama, the actors were convincing, the actors played their characters very well. The story is sort of typical in your good guy/bad guy set up, but there are a lot of twists and turns. Another thing about this drama, that had me intrigued was the questions it posed "What is justice?" "How far is to far" "What would you do?". And finally: There are no pretty boys & idols.

'Can You Hear My Heart' has a lot of the same drama tropes that most, 30 + episode melodramas have: Revenge plot, evil parents, childhood trauma, childhood love. It had some of the same archetypes: The evil antagonist, the chaebol hero, the innocent, unassuming heroine. It could have been a standard melodrama lost in a sea of other melodramas. But it is not. I loved every one of the 30 episodes of Can You Hear My Heart. Two things that made me fall in love and stay there for this drama:

1) The Characters and primarily their core relationships made this story extraordinary. Cha Dong Ju and Bong Woo Ri and their love story; once it began there was no wavering. It was a solid loving relationship that had the perfect mix of sweetnes, spark and friendship. Bong Woo Ri and her father and grandmother; when you watch, you will realize why this family is so special. Cha Dong Ju and Bong Ma Ru; their brotherhood, their bromance and the way they loved and looked out for each other. There were countless ways in which these core relationships and the love that sustained them, helped them overcome the trials they went through. Now that this show is over I feel like the message at the core of this drama is sometimes, in spite of blood ties or the lack of, your family is made up of the people you choose and those who have chosen you. It is sacrifice, loyalty and never giving up on or hoping for, the person you love with all your heart.

2) The writing was very solid. It felt like there was a real story line trajectory rather than on the fly, off the cuff script writing that sometimes takes place to appease the masses/ratings. I got the feeling this story was planned from the start and stayed on course. There were beautiful words brought to life on screen by the actors. My above raving about the characters and friendships wouldn't exist without this writer's insight and story telling ability. The themes of family, loyalty and love rose above the necessary story/drama propulsion of revenge, hate and hardships.

There were other things to love as well. The cinematography was great. It was a pretty sweeping story as 30 episode dramas tend to be, so the sweeping views and pretty color palette fit the story and scope.

I loved the way they handled Cha Dong Ju's deafness. He was such a strong character all throughout the story. He had moments of fear and uncertainty but mostly he was brave and wonderful. The "writing" always treated the physically or mentally challenged characters with dignity...even if some of the characters within the story didn't always do the same. Does that make sense?

It is a testament to good story telling the 30 episodes went by pretty quick. The angst wasn't so constant and prolonged that you felt wrung dry emotionally. Lots of light moments in between! There was never I time I felt I wanted to drop this show or give up. Actually, I'm kind of sad it is over. It is a wonderful Drama! Give it a try if you are hesitating.

If you haven't watched the anime and have never heard of sailor moon you will probably be like WTH when watching this...but like most, I watched this as a kid and was excited to see the live action.



The story was just really fun. I laughed a lot and even shed a tear close to the end. Each ep is fresh because it has its own storyline while keeping the big picture in mind.



The acting wasn't spectacular but I think the girls did a pretty good job in thier roles. They kept the spirit of the sailor girls in tact!



The music was pretty catchy but the only thing I didn't like is the actual singing. Thier voices are horrendous LOL.



I'll rewatch this but a long time from now.



Overall, they did a pretty good job of capturing the greatness that is sailor moon. It was nice to relive my childhood=D
