This movie is simply amazing.The story is full of love within the family which is heartwarming and can move anyone in tears.After I read the "coming back to life"concept of the movie.I said"Nothing new" ,"I know what will happen" but turned out wrong.The story is really different and has it's unique story that unpredictable. The three main casts did an outstanding performance that makes the movie more special.Though you might find the movie a little slow,I think it just help you feel the emotions and makes you go deeper into the story.The music is also good and makes the movie more beautiful and heartbreaking.The Ending is really awesome and not disappointing.It explains and answers all the mysteries and questions while leaving the audiences in a emotional state.Overall this movie is not a waste of time and REALLY worth watching.

It tries to tell a good story, but loses it's charm with too many diversions and loopholes along the way.

The first episode wasn't all that promising, with it's stereotyped good hearted,naive girl and arrogant male leads. But into the second episode, we start to see that the female lead isn't just another stupid/naive girl. Her character comes across as a very sincere and simple, albeit unconfident and adds very much to the charm of the drama.

There is plenty of exaggeration in the acting and diversions in story line. I got along fine till about the 15th episode, when the plot felt too forced and became annoying. I felt that this drama could've been neatly wrapped up in 16 episodes at most without twisting and turning the characters so much.

The story was good and the 'fate' between the couple was clear throughout. There was also something charming and interesting about the characters in the drama, which unfortunately got lost towards the last segment of the drama. I would have liked it more otherwise.

The actors were good, especially the female lead. I liked the music. It gave the right feeling for the scenes. I wouldn't re-watch this again, as there wasn't anything to watch a second time.

If you have nothing better to do and just want to see hilarious action packed movie, this could be a choice x)

good movie with hilarious scenes!
the movie supposed to be a comedy (meaning that you should be laughing for most of the times) but for me, i did not feel that... maybe due to the fact that the movie was produced in 1999, the humor now has changed in some ways so some scene were not hilarious for me (but for everyone is different)
but for most of the times you could still giggle away :)

The movie is great representation of the society that has let down its people- school that let down/abandoned its student, parents that let down/abandoned their children. Each character has its own unique problem that can be found throughout the society nowadays (and in those times). It's a good representation of what can happen in someone's life.

The plot is quite nice as well.
The characters are well represented and the way they spend their time is hilarious (their actions come out of their character, they act receptively to their character' image) :)

for the first 10 mins of the movie, the acting was really not that captivating and good...really thought they were amateurs not real actors
but later on it really does get better, the acting really does change
throughout the movie you can also see some major stars of nowadays like Kim Suro (mr. Idol, God of study), Lee won jong (vampire prosecutor, wild romance etc etc), park young kyu, etc.

To start with the summary is wrong bcz this special isn't about Makino's parents going to NY or the rest of it, this special was released after season 2 to introduce the final movie and it also includes a mini performance by the Arashi boys so this is like a promote to the movie. At the beginning, There were the moments where F4 and Makino were toghether yet there wasn't actually a story to talk about but u get to see the characters all over again, i believe that itself worth the watch!
U need to watch this before the final movie, if u already watched the movie then there's no need to watch it bcz like a said it's between the drama and the final movie.

I doubt if there's a person who haven't seen the 2nd season after watching the 1st. As for me, I don't seperate between the two seasons, I just feel they're one part.
This season had much more events than the 1st one but the 1st season's music was better than this season's. However, if we speak about the general concept everything was nicely done; The actors showed more skills and proved their great talent : I fell for that strong acting.
Domyouji remain as my favorite character in this drama, there were new cast beside the old one wich made the drama more interesting.
Basically, if you watched the 1st season you won't feel it's finished without watching this one.

I was interested in watching this cause the premise sounded like fun and I'm a fan of both leads…

Story- I liked that the episodes went by fast. With that being said, the story at first is fun when it focused on the development of the main character from a gangster into a teacher. Then towards the second half it’s all about the fight over the kindergarten. This is where it started to lose my attention. Towards the last couple episodes I just had them playing in the background while doing other things. I did like the romance but it really was only a small part of the story. I liked the love triangle of the side teachers & the gangster boss. It has a sweet ending=)

Acting/ Cast- KJW & HJM were perfect as always. They had a good chemistry. I liked most of the supporting cast. The 4 main child actors were sooo cute and their characters were so funny!

Music- The type you’d find in an older drama. It fit the scenes well enough but I didn’t like it.

Rewatch- I liked the characters so I’d watch this again but not for a really long time cause the story wasn’t that memorable.

Overall Great Inheritance is really only a must see if you’re a fan of the leads.

I wanted to watch this because one. Hong JongHyun was in it and two. because i saw an MV of this by W&WHALE;(of whom i'm a fan of) called morning star, the music was really nice, soft and catchy and the MV teased me to watch this movie.

Though the movie was slow, it wasn't one bit boring and i enjoyed watching it. The story line felt realistic and the acting was good and i cant say anything negative about it.But i feel that the movie could of been better if it focused more on The main girl, and how she dislikes being treated differently just because she has Narcolepsy, but overall it was enjoyable. i don't think this movie is everyone's cup of tea and would recommend watching this if you have nothing else to do or on a quite relaxing day.

I really loved it. I've already seen it twice.
I thought it would be a great movie to watch with a person who is not used to korean languange or culture as the main male character only speaks English. :) ( I tried that and I can say that it succeeded )
I really think it's a funny and amazing movie, yet the seriousness didn't dissappear.
I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to enjoy a funny romantic comedy. Especially to people, who are just starting to watch korean movies and dramas.

I had my hopes up, but they weren't fulfilled.
May be because I'm not into so serious stories.
It was fine, but too serious. I didn't cry, I didn't laugh. Only smiled at the end.
Fortunately, the end came out better than I thought I would be. I srated to unlike the strory as I found out who he really was. (On the other hand, if he hadn't been who he was, the movie would have lost it's main point I guess) But they drew out the ending just fine.
I loved those scenes in nature and I liked the music.
The main male actor was cute and I love his voice.
I think, that I start liking that movie more as I have closely felt the pain as I lose someone close. As I haven't yet, this story didn't touch my heart as much as someone else's, I guess.
Anyways, if you feel like you need to watch a serious move about losing someone (with an happy ending though), this is just for you. :)

This review may contain spoilers
What to say... I really loved the story in this. A lot of people have said that it's a lot like You're Beautiful, but I really don't think so. Sure, it has music and a girl dressing up as a guy. But this show focuses more on music and character development than You're Beautiful did, which is mostly a love story.
I can't post spoilers, so I won't point to examples where these are different.
I really love the cast as well, they really fit their roles and utilize the character in the best way. Their expressions and voices fit the portrayed emotion perfectly.
The music is amazing. The songs stick to your brain and moves you to the point of almost crying when used in the right scene. They're catchy and/or beautiful, so I have no complaints.
One day, I would most likely love to rewatch this if I have the possibility. It has it all: Comedy, bitter romance, romance and that don't give up your dreams feeling.
The only reason why I haven't given it a 10 the whole way through is because the story has some small, pointless scenes that it could do without, and I don't think I've ever given a show a 10 on rewatch value. I feel like that would mean I definitely would, and that really isn't the case.
But it's a great show, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. So just give it a try, I promise you won't regret it. :)

IT was an AMAZING!! drama to watch . The bond that is created by got and his students is just , amazing . No matter , what challenge might come in his way , he will overcome it because he is The Great Teacher Onizuka . Overall, it was a funny and at the same time a serious drama show to watch ... After each episode I was waiting to find out what surprises were in the next one . I just wish they make a second season to this.

What would you feel like if you're a single man living a wealthy bacelor's life, having a great reputation along with a famous name but one day a 22 years old girl shows up at your door telling you she's your daughter and bringing her child along? well, if you want the answer you need to watch this film :p
This film deals with family relationships, how they resolve their problems and their misfortune, how to hide their abnormals from the media and outsiders but most of all, it was about how to protect each other in front of many obstacles while following their dreams.
A three generations relationship with the most unusual story is what made me watch this and unexpectedly liking it.
You may want to give it a try as well.

This was the drama that did it for me. I got hooked on j-dramas and k-dramas, but this one was the first one I was really obsessed with. Even now I get all teary when I hear "Okaeri".
It's a great story to watch, but mind you, future viewers, it's not just a silly sexy-robot-boyfriend-like-comedy. It gets pretty sad towards the end so do prepare a few boxes of tissues!
All in all, the story was great, acting great as well (although I'm not the biggest fan of Aibu Saki...), music is good as well! I can't rewatch it because I know where it's going and I'd rather be surprised by a new drama, I guess. It's a great story anyway, I highly recommend it!

I watched all the versions of Hana Yori Dango : the korean, the chinese and the taiwanese but the japanese version still and will always be the best ever! it's true that the korean have a better cast but i totally hated the lead actress.
Anyway, the story is known and as everyone agree it's a nice story with great events that will make you anticipate more.
The music: It was good.
What I truly blame on this season that it's too short. What I truly like is Domyouji's foolishness; Matsumoto Jun did his role perfectly no mistakes at all, I fell in love with his character in this drama: so cute, so funny and most of all so childish.
I believe that this drama is one of the greatest jdramas that i've ever seen, I enjoyed it so much.
I wonder if there's someone who haven't watched it and if there's such person I would highly recommend this.

the story is about the typical cop(who has some mental breakdown through the movie...it was weird, his character was, sometimes he went senile...*.*) chasing with enthusiasm after the bad guy, both character knowing how the other's mind works

Overall the movie was quite interesting and enjoyable. It reminded me of the typical cop and robber movies but there were some twists and turns that i would have not expected, but some parts of the plot you could easily guess
The ending was quite a surprise as well in some ways (there were hints about what would happen but the overall ending i would not have guessed)

To sum it up- good movie, with great acting (and if you are a fan of Cha Seung won, u will enjoy it even more i guess XP), the music wasn't bad it just that it did not really catch my attention (not that powerful, i would say)
