City Hunter was one of drama for me that I was particularly attracted.

The story is very gripping and full of action (I love drama and action films), the cast was spectacular, the actors were very great.
Especially Lee Min Ho is an amazing actor, I also followed Boys Over Flower but in this drama has surpassed himself.
Park Min Young that interprets Kim Na Na I only saw this drama and I must say that she is very good.

I almost want to see him again, I do not think easily forget this drama

I recommend everyone to view it. I'm not English so I apologize if I wrote something wrong ^^

I'm cw this drama and so far it's satisfying already... What a magnificent job! How did they come up with such a genius masterpiece! I won't regret watching the first episode of it instead, I'll watch it til the very end.(hope it's not a tragic one):( wait, think positive! hehe...... What I love about it is that, this dram has it all, name it, romance, comedy, tragedy even history. haha... Outstanding because it's my first time to watch such drama, and it didn't disappoint me. Although the OST I know is that of Tiffany's IMYLC I still like it and you know, got LSS. Even if it was the only song I know about this drama, for me it's very remarkable. Great acting skills is also shown in this drama. I commend Lee Yoon's acting. It is superb and high-class! Very versatile. So far, it's doing great. Looking forward to the next 8 episodes.

This drama is really cute. The love triangle can be a bit tiresome and frustrating, but isn't that the way love triangles are.

I really liked Lee Min Ki in this because he was so funny. The expressions on his face and the gestures, it's hilarious.

Plus, you do get the "who will she pick" tension, so the final outcome is much anticipated.

Also, the scenes with the cooking made me hungry too, so better bring some munchies.

It's 34 episodes and that can be an investment in time, but it's well worth it.

The only low score I've given is for rewatchablility; not because it's not worth a rewatch, but rather because I only rewatched certain episodes I found particularly cute and not all 34 in a row again.

i decided to watch this out of my love for cnblue . however i must say its was in some ways a very weird movie but that is what got me to like it . one might get a little confused at first but if you keep watching youll understand.
the acting was very good.
it had some humor as well.
i think the writer did an excellent job with the plot
and it seems the background message is that music can trandsend through space and time.
i recomend!!!

I watched Secret Garden about a year ago.. But sometimes I rewatch and still feel great..
Honestly, my consideration for watching Secret Garden was the two main characters Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin..
But after that I found the story was amazing..
I was hooked and finished this only in 2 days.. until my eyes being swollen at that time..
It makes me laughed and cried at the same time.. The storyline made me curios to watch this until the end..
Both Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin plays the role very well.. Especially when their bodies switched.. The chemistry between them looks so real..
The music also very good.. the placement for the ost at every scene can play our emotion..
For me, it’s one of the best K-drama.. Love it so much!!!

I wasn’t initially drawn to this drama just because I’ve been disappointed in some way by most of the medical dramas I’ve watched. I decided to give it a chance though because I have a new found interest in Ji Sung=)

Story- typical medical storyline. You have your patient surgeries, although I was grateful they didn’t stuff them down our throats. Each of the patients featured had a significant arc and they were all memorable. You also got your hospital politics. Although, it wasn’t as intense as I would have liked. Finally you got your developing romance. Now this is where they got me hooked. To be honest for the first 1/3 of this drama I was kind of bored and the episodes felt long. But by ep 10 things started to get moving and the episodes went by at a good pace. By ep 16 I was really invested in the romance, although it really is more of a background story arc. Lets just say some scenes really frustrated me! Towards the last couple episodes I really got restless. I wanted it to end already. 23 episodes @ 60-80 min. really was just too much for this type of drama. I liked the ending cause we got to see how everyone was doing after a years time.

Acting/Cast- I really was surprised by how much I liked the cast. Ji Sung is great as always. But really I was impressed by Kim Min Jung who I’ve only seen in Thorn Birds (must see melodrama BTW). She played her character perfectly. In the beginning her character is cold and uncaring but she changes slowly and begins to warm up through her interactions with Ji Sung’s character. I just really thought her character development was really great! The acting by the supporting cast was perfect for what their roles called for. I ended up liking most of the characters.

Music- Didn’t really notice it in this one. I don’t think I disliked it though…

Rewatch- Although I came to love all the characters I don’t think I could sit through this drama again but for some it might be rewatchable.

Overall, the story isn’t all that but leads pull you in. It’s one of the more memorable medical dramas I’ve seen.

When I started watching, this drama seemed promising. And it was, indeed. It was really touching and cool.

The actors were brilliant, and so was the plot.

I just pitied that they didn't develop the character's feelings, and it was a bit confusing somehow.

It's a drama that is worth watching... :)

As far as I remember, I haven't given a 10 for all of the categories for all the dramas I've reviewed. This is the 1st time. I do think that this drama deserves a 10. The story, acting, and music were all superb.

I laughed, I cried and the drama made me giddy.

I got the ending that I wanted. I got the love lines that I wanted and rooted for.

This is a DEFINITELY-MUST-WATCH drama.

This drama is like cotton candy! You know it's not really good for you, has no nutritional value, will probably give you cavities, and is something you would probably never admit to eating, but you love it anyway while you're eating it.

The story is cute. There are no DUN... DUN...DUN... moments at all. It's mostly generic, will I be exposed in this most random way ever kind of moments.

I think the main couple did a great job. The female lead, Nishiuchi Mariya is quite well suited for the comedic genre. While pretty much everything she does is over-exaggerated, that's what made it funny. It's fun to watch the her oscillate between her two personas. I also like her well "mostly" internal dialogue. Her facial expressions are hilarious, and I do enjoy the "acme" cartoon effects.
The main male lead, is also adorable. His character is played in a much more subbed way, to offset the female leads over the top presence.

The music was fine. There are no "WOW I will always associate that music with this drama" songs. The music didn't really add anything to the viewing experience, but it didn't detract from the viewing either. Just complimented it nicely as background music.

Overall this is a fun romp when you need a little sugar in your diet. But like all sweets, don't eat too much or you will most likely end up bouncing off the walls from a sugar high, or curled up in a corner weeping because your belly hurts - then again maybe that's just me =-p

The premise of identical twins separated is not new to KDramaland; however, this story is quite different as it was a twist of fate that separated them and the lives they lead was totally different. The acting by Uhm Tae Woong was excellent. It was believable as it acted as both twins that were so different; night and day. The revenge was sadden at the fact that the brothers had so little time together. The love story was not as important because the main characters were in love from the very beginning. I really enjoyed this. It had its slow moments but I enjoyed watching each of the players responsible for the deaths to get their comeuppance. Is it worth watching? Only if this type of genre is your cup of tea. As I love suspense, crime stories; I recommend this highly.

Story: this kind of plot usually sounds very attractive, different people forced to live together. Troubles are guarantee!!

Acting/Cast: well, boys and girls are not actors, and we can see it clearly. Whatever, they're so funny! I saw a huge number of faces and looks.. I felt like I was watching an anime! XD

Music: The music is so good, I like every single song!

Rewatch: who knows? It's a pity I couldn't find episodes in better quality..

Overall: I can give it a 7! It's funny, and light. It's perfect if you want to watch something with no worries and tragedies!

After watching this movie I was genuinely touched by the storyline.

Asato moves to a small run-down town to be closer to his mother, who is in a nearby jail. There he meets Takeo, a troubled guy with a dark past who gets in fights alot. Takeo discovers Asato's powers to be able to transfer pain/scars/wounds from other people unto himself. This is soon the beginning of their friendship as Asato is able to rely on his first friend. Little by little, they start making improvments in their lives.

Takeo past unravels as he tries to deal with the pain. What is it that Takeo can't let go of from his past? And why is Asato's mother in jail?

With power Asato is able to transfer pain from the people around him, but how much pain can he inflict himself?

This focuses mainly on the emotional feelings and the importance of life. This is not a movie for those expecting fast-paced action. Like I said, this is based on feelings and the meaning of friendship.

This movie is really underrated. I was really surprised to see it didn't have much success in Korea, because to me this movie is a maserpiece.

Don't expect this movie to be a shorter version of the drama. This movie is a completetly different version of Hwang Jin Yi story. In this movie, Hwang Jin Yi was raised as a noble during all her childhood, and this is only when she turn fifteen that her life change all of the sudden.

Unlike the drama this movie focus on Jin Yi's personality, rather than her art, so those who expect a lot of music and dance will be disapointed. But the OST of the drama is really beautiful.

One thing I absolutely loved in this movie, was the settings and the costumes. The landscapes are beautiful, the architecture and costume are really subtle and delicate. Everything isn't flashy with bright color, you have deep blue, black lace, green and black dresses, black hair ornements, all those dark color contrasting with the ivory skin of Hwang Jin Yi and make her gaze mesmerinzing : all her expessions are magnified.

This is a captivating and moving piece of art that I recommend.

I came upon this drama only because I was a new Roy Chiu fan after watching him in Easy Fortune Happy Life. I had never watched a Mainland Chinese drama before so I was very hesitant because I can barely get through Taiwanese dramas…

Story- It’s very business oriented but has a lot of good light scenes thrown in here and there to keep it balanced. There are 2 romances. The first, is the romance between the main couple (Hu Ge & Tiffany Tang’s characters). The second, which is the sole reason I continued watching, is the romance between Roy Chiu & Stephy Qi’s characters. Their romance arc was sooo much fun to watch. Most of their scenes were funny and hot! I was kind of mad that they didn’t have a lot of scenes together though. I wish they took out all those boring meeting scenes and replaced them with more of Wei Xiao/Ye Rou! The synopsis hints to the fact that this is a sort of revenge drama but I thought it was kind of disappointing in that respect. It really only happens in the last 3 episodes but it was very quick and I was kind of confused with the outcome. I really liked the ending it was satisfying;)

Acting/Cast- I was really surprised by the acting. It was so much better than what I’ve seen in Taiwanese dramas. I liked that the characters were written with brains and are just very mature. I really thought the entire cast did a great job. The villains were villainy but I still felt sorry for them and didn’t want what was coming to them. The writers make you feel sympathetic for them.

Music- I really liked the score it fit the scenes beautifully. The OST was good but light.

Rewatch- I’d rewatch this again maybe 2 years from now.

Overall Unbeatable is a drama about overcoming whatever obstacles may come your way in both your professional and personal lives. I liked the life messages it sent out. If you ever feel like trying out a non historical mainland drama then I definitely would recommend this one.

well This is the second attempt at watching it. and tbh I don't now why i didn't like the first time. I found it too boring but getting past the first few episodes I throughly enjoyed it. I thought it was hilarous and totally embrassing. It was almost unreal yet real, a rich spoilt boy falls in love and he didn't even realize. MADE him into a proper man.
I felt sorry for his older brother but It was nice he was able to let go . The acting was brillant, every character was portrayed perfectly. Funny charming sexy and oddly corny in the cutest way. The music was great it defently matched with the storyline. I would defently watch it again. I couldn't understand why people liked this drama but now i understand. It is so comical, It makes you laugh and full of cuteness as the same time. Akward moments aswell. Just like any real life situation.

I would recommend this and if you tried to watch it before. watch it again trust me you wudnt be disappointed as you'd think. Ok i might of skipped the first 2 episodes because they was boring but after that it very good.
