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.

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.

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

I watched this movie last night and I liked it. This story is more than just a romantic comedy. It's also sad. This movie is said to be like a prequel to the movie "My Sassy Girl." For those who have not seen this movie, I would recommend it (and to watch it first before watching this movie). Mostly because in the movie "My Sassy Girl" you don't know that much about "Miss Sassy Girl" (you never learn her name for one). But putting that aside - this movie is worth watching. It starts off light and fun but things take a turn towards the middle.



The acting was great, don't have any complaints about it. This was the first movie I've watched with Jang Hyuk in it, I had to laugh at some of his expressions in the beginning. His acting is good, though.



There was some music in this movie, but I'm not sure what they were. The only song that stuck out to me was the song "Stay" that they played in the first half of the movie. The other songs went along with the movie, though.



I think I might rewatch this movie again sometime, it was a good movie.



Overall - I think this movie is worth watching. Also, make sure to watch "My Sassy Girl" (: You'll find out why people see this as a prequel.

I just re-watched this. I loved and didn't love this movie. It was actually pretty good I just couldn't come to grips with parts of it. I don't know how to call it. I loved the possibilities and its potential but it sort of fail a bit flat. The story left me with questions I still wanted answered and an empty feeling inside because it didn't end the way I wanted. Not that it was necessarily a bad ending, it just wasn't the ending I wanted. My ending might have been a bit morbid but I liked the prospect better then the actual outcome. It also needed more of the Adam character, that's what I really watched it for. I love Hyde and the dark romantic quality he brings to the film. Hyde's acting was a bit dry and seemed to lack the emotion I thought the film should have had but I loved the character all the same. And I cried all the same and I hate to cry. I would still watch it again, at least the scenes with Hyde in it anyway and the music was good too. It was haunting and sad but good. I even found the soundtrack.
