This movie is so fun! Another thing that solidifies my love for Lee Sun Gyun. It is about an adult comic book artist looking for a writer. He needs to win a contest for the prize money. When they meet their relationship is antagonistic at best. But those sparks turn into something more.

As typical as this set up may sound, it's so well done and enjoyable to watch it doesn't matter. I've actually never seen a movie premise like this. Well that's not true. A few years back there was an American movie about a ghost writer helping an author to pen a book but it was done poorly and there is no comparison.

Remember that they are writing an adult comic. There are a lot of sexual references but it's done very tongue in cheek as the female writer is faking 99% of her sexual experience. Most of the graphic sexual images are in fact, in graphic (comic book) form.

Watching Jung Bae get wise to her act...I loved it! Dae Rim is such a character and Jung Bae finds her tough to take at first. But when he begins to draw...it's her face that appears on paper. As the two leads gravitate toward each other and their feelings grow...it's so cute!

Lee Sun Gyun and Choi Gang Hee make a great pair. Able to be comedic and have you believe when they are sincere.
I recommend this movie highly.

First of all: Is not a wonderful drama. Is funny, cute, romantic, but not wonderful. This drama had everything to be good: great actors, good director, interesting story ... But it was not quite what happened.

By the 10th episode the story is great, full of kisses and scenes, but over the course of chapters 12 and 13, the drama was in a strange rhythm and had no history.

There is nothing to be expected by the villains. They did nothing! Anyway, it's a good drama to spend time and give a few laughs, but make sure it will not add something in your life.

Story- I liked that it takes place in a business setting. Many competitions take pace which creates the \"tension\" in the drama. This drama is also about So Yeong\''\''s journey in reaching her dreams. I felt like this drama was too long which made me lose interest towards the end. I skipped like 6 episodes. The last episode was actually one of the best ending episodes Ive seen. It was dramatic in the beginning but was happy & cute and the end.

Acting/Cast- Jang Nara is so cute. She has a small body and small voice. I thought the character fit her well. Daniel Choi did a great job playing the immature Jin Wook. Even till the end he had the childish quality. Even though I liked thier characters, somehow I didn\''\''t feel the romantic chemistry between them. The rest of the cast was great.

Music- Very nice OST to go with the feeling of the scenes. There will probably be some songs to go on my IPod=)

REwatch- This is a cute drama that can be watched again.

Overall- A good romantic comedy to watch at least once.

This drama was truly amazing, I loved every second of it. Though some people said it went downhill from episode 11 because of the change in writers or whatever I didnt take notice to that much of a change. The two lead actors- Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan had great chemistry too. At first I didnt really like Ki Joon and Ah Jeong together, actually I liked the younger brother better but that all changed. As the drama progressed I loved watching Ki Joon change because of Ah Jeong and I eventually started to love his character. There was even one point in the drama where I thought Wow! Ah Jeong has Ki Joon wrapped around her finger... what I also liked is that his feelings toward Ah Jeong didnt waver. The OST for Lie to Me was awesome to, I have most of the songs on my ipod now. Lastly I have to say Kang Ji Hwan looked like one Hell of a kisser! But, seriously, you have to watch Lie to Me :D

I was really excited for this drama,and at the beginning I wasn't disappointed. It started out amazing; I was captured and I was sure I'd found a one-in-a-million drama, and my thoughts stayed this way until about the 9th/10th episode. It started to get boring. Too many episodes, a little too slow, and although I loved the heroine at first, I started to dislike her. There also seemed to be too much focus on life outside of the heroine, which is only good in small doses. Needed more focus on the main character. Unfortunately, I dropped it. Couldn't bring myself to watch another episode. I'm disappointed, since the idea was good all the actors were very good as well.

There's nothing particularly original about the story, but what made it thoroughly enjoyable and had me looking forward to each episode (even the last 2 or 3 when the show went downhill) was the perfectly cast roles. The two leads had fabulous chemistry and that gave the show something special that will make it memorable for me. The supporting cast was also wonderful. Especially entertaining for me was watching Temptation of an Angel's Hong Soo Hyun in a completely different role (give that woman more and bigger parts!)



It would have been better if this had been a 20 episode drama so they could meat out some other parts. Bits of the story were left hanging and the last few episodes seemed to be rushed and drag at the same time. I would have liked to see more with some of the other characters (especially Manager Park).



But overall, a very entertaining and heartwarming drama with some cute quirks of its own (the atmosphere in that little cafe/art studio reminded me of watching a Gilmore Girls episode). Definitely worth a watch if for nothing else but to watch the sparks between Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan (and some of the best kiss scenes I've seen in a Kdrama).

My first impression: WOW! What an amazing movie! I've been postponing watching this series for quite a while (both the anime and the movie) since I'm not really a fan of most "serious" movies(comic relief in this movie is as good as non-existent), but I finally left my prejudice aside and saw it. This movie in a single word; "Brilliant". Actually speaking, its the plot that's brilliant, so full credit to the mangaka who wrote this amazing story(Death note was originally published as a manga and later made into an anime series as well).



The plot is gripping, and it had me sitting on the edge of my seat throughout the movie. The movie raises the important question, is killing justified if the people killed are criminals? The lead character(Light Yagami) is a superb protagonist( I love 'em smart dudes :D ), and "L" is the perfect antagonist to counter Light's intelligence. "Light" who sees himself as a new age God, striving to rid the world of evil, and "L", the sharp detective who sees such killings in the name of righteousness as murder, both provide interesting and contrasting views on "justice". This was one of the few movies that had me rooting for both; the protagonist as well as the antagonist. "L" was a refreshingly new character for me; I fell in love with his eccentric personality and investigative skills and "Light" aka "Kira" gives a whole new definition to the word "genius".



Its glorious to watch these two masterminds battle each other, in a war of wills and belief; in addition to the mysterious and thrilling "death note" and "shinigami" ( Ryuk in this movie, a wonderful CG character whom I love :)).



Acting: I think both the leads did an amazing job and made the story believable.

Rewatch: I don't think watching this movie again will be as much fun as the first time since the most amazing thing about this movie is its unpredictability, and that will be lost while rewatching.



I recommend this movie for anyone who enjoys a brilliantly written plot. Watch to find out who triumphs in this epic battle.

Hmmm.....I'm kind of disappointed with the movie and I liked it at the same time. Disappointed because I was very confused about the whole plot of the story. What were they trying to say? The whole story is supposed to be about how four best friends try to find their way of life after they graduate college but somehow they didn't really portray enough events to really make you understand what was going. It was kind of confusing too. I expected more since they said it was the korean version of Sex in the City. Although I was disappointed, I still very much liked the characters and how the actors and actresses played them. I envy the girls in the movie. It's nice to have someone there to talk to and share each others pain like what true best friends do. I still really expected more from the movie...
