1-The reason I watched this : At that time I was going through a slump so I randomly picked this one after reading the synopsis and end up watching it somehow.

2-Storyline/Plot : At first, the story started perfectly, I was feeling every second and having great expectations for what will happen next. However, when Lee Seol became a princess things started to fall apart and it felt like the storyline took the wrong turn; it wasn't completely ruined but I loved the beginning more.
There were too many slow moments especially when the triangle took place.

3-Acting/Cast : I always liked Kim Tae Hee as an actress but as a character she wasn't that great. There's Song Seung Hun who's the only reason I finished this drama not because he's a great actor but because he's *insert shallow feelings* but seriously the lead actors had awesome chemistry.
I never liked Park Ye Jin as an actress plus her character here didn't help because the triangle was one of the most weak points of this drama.
There were some interesting characters here and there but overall the acting department wasn't very satisfying.

4-Music : I still remember it until now; it was cool, not too typical not too extravagant.

5-Rewatch value : Maybe there are some people who would like to see this again but in my point of view only the steamy chemistry moments need to be rewatched.

6-The ending : The ending wasn't that special but it's forgettable simply because I loved the last scene (shallow thoughts).

7-Overall : It's not a great drama no matter how much I think about it. The only reason I enjoyed watching this was because of my shallow feelings for Song Seung Hun and the steamy chemistry. Other than that, this is not a must-watch romantic comedy.

Story - 6: While I liked how the story played out, the story alone didn't interest me much. If this didn't have Lee Sun Gyun and Alex Chu as main roles, I probably wouldn't have even given this a second thought.

Acting/Cast -10: This was where the drama was fantastic. The acting was so good, that sometimes the main couple actually had me smiling like an idiot because I was so happy. I've already mentioned that I watched this for LSG and Alex, but some of the smaller roles were the ones that had me hooked.
Choi Jae Hwan as Jung Eun Soo was absolutely perfect. By far one of my favorite characters from any drama I've seen. I can't even imagine someone else taking that role.
As for the other supporting actors, they all had their moments. The Italian chefs had me laughing a lot throughout the show.

Music - 9: The music was the next best part about the show. Whenever an instrumental would come on, I would smile and dance along like an idiot.

Rewatch Value: 7: This isn't higher simply because there were a few characters throughout the show that drove me insane. You know the kind; the ones that have you wishing you could reach through the screen and strangle them (all of those people definitely contributed to me scoring the acting/cast so high too).

Overall 9: While the story didn't interest me, the acting, music, and chemistry between every single actor/character more than made up for it.

Just finished watching this drama and i loved it...this is my first time writing a review so ill try my best...the whole story line was great and very sweet..i liked it because how cute the family and Nino was and also i loved Sakurai Sho smile (*Faint*)
thought i should add a little more since this was kind of vague...had a fan girl moment lol
if you like feel good dramas then this is a great drama for you...its very touching and and deals with friendship and family
the only complaint is how annoying the girl is...but eventually you get over it...there is not really much romance in it...but there are lots of cute and funny moments...and some scenes will even make you tear up....i gave this review 10s because if your into these type of feel good dramas you will love this one

I LOVE THIS DRAMA.

I love the idea of a game, where the whole MIT is involved, and they have to face up to their past. I did guess who was the ultimate mastermind behind the game, but some of the plot twists really surprised me. Guigui's character surprised me too.

I watched the show when it was airing in Taiwan at the same time, so it killed me everytime one episode ended! It's terrible when the case drags to the next episode because the wait, and even if the case has ended, the preview of the next case always left me cursing at the monitor.

Okay, I may be slightly biased, because I'm a fan of Aaron, but this is definitely my favourite Aaron-role:) I have a soft spot for cold characters with sad pasts, and Aaron looks really cute here. Plus, I love the Guilun chemistry, offscreen and onscreen. Cuteness overload! Alien Huang's role as 747 had me burst into laughter- he says the most retarded but cute things. Lu Ting Wei's 187 is a playboy that always leaves a smile on my face. And Guigui is just too cute:) She needs to brush up on her acting though.

The music really built up the tension, especially the last episode! The music was so apt! Not your usual soundtrack, of course, but appropriate for the show.

I've rewatched the show at least 5 times, and a particular episode 10 times because of the Guilun romance;)

Definitely worth watching.

The storyline was cliche, but not a big problem for him, because I don't mind them. The story is really slow moving though, and honestly the first episode didn't leave me dying to continue to watch. I found myself skipping some parts because I was bored.

The relationship between Yang Guang and Ya Xin didn't attract me as much as the friendship between Ya Xin and Geng Fei. I was so touched at the last episode when Ya Xin went to see Geng Fei and forgave him. And as despicable as Geng Fei is, I felt really sorry for him. His love for Angela knows no bounds.

Given that, the cast was good and so was the acting. Wuzun's acting really improved and haha, his chinese too:) Still room for improvement, of course. And the rest of the Fahrenheit guest-starring was a big plus for the show!:) Aaron's as cute as ever

It take me a long time before I started watching this drama but when I started it... I was hooked from episode 1 and finished it straight up to episode 20 in 2 days.... Every episode keeps you hanging and makes you watch the next episode. Dr. Yoon Ji Yoon was acted well and all the other actors were equally great... The 20 episodes were all worth watching and the final episode wraps it all up... If you're into medical and police stories, this is a must watch drama.. though as a warning this is regarding forensics so expect to see lots of dead bodies and autopsies... Overall, this drama is one of the best that I've seen....

This is a warning...episode 15 will emotionaly drain you!!! I had a huge love/hate relationship with this drama and that is why I gave it 10s across the board. I love the story and the conflict, but I hated that they kept calling this beautiful woman fat and old...but ALL the men except Henry wanted to be with her. It is a little flawed.

First the story...it is a well thought out concept. Breakups, first loves, and the story of loving yourself so that others will love you too is so well written and directed.

Acting/Cast...Sun Ah does an amazing job as Sam Soon. I totally love Sam Soon. She is an amazing strong character while maintaining her vulnerability. The reason I watched this drama was Hyun Bin. I think he did a great job playing Jin Hun. He was a complex boy that grew into a steady man. I loved when he poored out his heart to Sam Soon while laying his head on her tummy.

I think all the other actors did an amazing job and the side stories are well done. The relationship between Sam Soon and her sister, Yi Young deserves a mention because the characters are wonderful together. Then of course there is the other eye candy...Henney Daniel and Lee Kyu Han. They did a great job acting too.

The music was great...I loved them using Only Fools Rush In. It is perfect for this movie. "I can't help falling in love with you"

I will rewatch this drama when I decide to start rewatching my favorites.

I think you should all watch this at least once!!! Enjoy!!!

heartwarming movie about owners and pets(separated into 4 different parts, directed by 4 different people)
it reflects the deep relationships that owners can have with their pets; that animals are not just for show but can replace a part that is missing from our lives
the movie makes a contrast between how owners see their pet and how non-owners think about animal... it was interesting to see how the outside word reacted towards the lost animals and the pets in general

as a pet owner myself i could sincerely relate to the stories and could feel the meaning in! it was very well represented through these short movies

the movie is separated into different parts that deals with family bonds, cooping with a loss, poverty and making a new path in life
the characters really fit the stories and the actors did a great job in bringing the story alive

i really recommend to watch this drama... heartwarming... joy that can be found through pets in every day life x)

This is basically my review from Dramacrazy, just edited (and extended LOL) slightly ^^

This drama is such a compelling watch. It delves into subjects such as mental illnesses, rape, and suicide, not usually shown in dramas. This drama pulls you in and makes you think about life and love. This is the story of Chen Ling (Vic Zhou) and Han Qi Luo (Barbie Xu). They meet and are instantly pulled towards each other, but before they can ever be together, they both must face their pasts.

I loved every piece of this drama. It was definitely one of the best I've seen in years. The depth with which character is played out really amazes me. They take a moment and bring it to a whole new level, a lot of the time without speaking a single word. On the surface, it may look like any other love story, but it is so much more than that. It digs into the very core of what it means to be a human. MARS touches your heart and makes you think.

I've watched this drama multiple times and each time it never failed to make me cry. There was something just about Mars that stayed with me and I don't think I'll ever forget it.

I just loved this movie because it had a bit of everything. The story was pretty interesting and I was totally hooked from the beginning of the movie. Although it has some scary scenes, a sweet scene or a scene without any tension brings up a brighter mood. The thing that I totally loved, and absolutely LOVED about this movie is that the main actor was not the typical korean guy who is a jerk *excuse my language* at the beginning, who in the end becomes nice, however he is sweet, honest and straight forward. It is nice to have something like this once in a while because you would not expect it and it is very touching. This movie is definitely worth giving a try, but please watch it during the day cause you might have a nightmare instead of dreaming of your "prince charming". Have fun watching it! :)

As a drama it is not something I would usually think to watch and only clicked on it as it had quite a few actors in it I like. But after just the one episode I was extreamely glad that I did, the powerful and full on story draws you in from the start and the great casting makes it so that there is a character in there for everyone. The small storylines that run in every episode along side the main plot keeps things interesting and an unexpected ending that leaves you satisfied long after it is over.

From the first few minutes, I could already tell this movie was going to be promising..

Story- An excellent plot which will always keep you on your feet. There's always something happening and it will constantly keep you guessing. I really loved the main characters relation with her children. She went to great lengths to try and protect her family.

Acting- The actors were very well picked! From the main characters to the minor ones, I must say- they really had a BIG impact. The little girl who didn't have the ability to speak, she portrayed her character really well with her little but clever brain and actions.

Music- The music fit every scene and made me feel like I was actually there, lurking around and trying to hide from the psycho! At the very intense moments, the music gradually changed to a very strong track. It suited and flowed with the storyline. AND OF COURSE- the ending credits song! It reflects and goes with the entire movie. I really liked how the film ended with this amazing instrumental. The guitar made me feel this sadness..

Rewatch Value- I think I'd watch this again since it's really amazing. Normally I don't rewatch films but for this one, I'll make an exception. :)

Overall this movie was absolutely breath taking! I just happened to stumble across this one but I'm really glad I did. This is one of the few movies which will stay on my mind long after I've watched it! I really love how it ended, especially the last sentence from the heroine.
I highly recommend this to those who are looking for a movie that will keep your eyes glued to the screen, people who love thriller and suspense. Even if you aren't, I'd say give it a go! I'm sure 8/10 people would DEFINITELY like it.
It made a great impression on me and I give it a.. dak dak dak.. :) 10/10!

Heartwarming story - how a lie became truth. how a person learns to value things which are inportant in life, how a person changes and does the right things at the end, even though the start wasn't good.
I've seen better movies, but this was fine. A comedy - not too sad, not childishly funny. At the end it touches your heart even thought at the beginning it seems like it won't.

This was one of the first dramas I watched way back. The description only gives a starting point to how the drama plays out; as you watch, lots of twists and turns are spread out over the course of the drama.

In some ways this drama has a theme of trying to get over or break away from the past, which I thought was a big impact.

I personally thought the actors portrayed the characters well. Some characters I found dislikeable, but not enough for it to ruin the show for me.

If you like darker themed stories, this could be up your alley.

1-The reason I watched this : I remember watching this on TV with some friends a long time ago.

2-Storyline/Plot : It was surprisingly good since it can be considred as an old drama; the struggle of an old fat girl to fulfil her dreams and fix her love life at the same time. Events went in a smooth way that's why slow moments were almost absent.

3-Acting/Cast : I believe this was Hyun Bin's debut; he was really good in her. Sam Soon was good too but she can became a little annoying at some points.
Overall, the acting was really good plus supporting roles were good enough to add some appealing developments to the general story.

4-The music : I don't actually remember it but I believe that it wasn't that bad.

5-Rewatch value : I can't do so but I can't deny that some people would love to repeat the whole drama again including my friends who watched it with me.

6-The ending : It was a good final although I expected more.

7-Overall : As one of my first dramas this was quite good because it was one of the steps that started my passion for Asian dramas.
