It is indeed one of the best korean movie I've ever seen. The passionate love they had even though the woman has forgot all about his husband because of her memory loss sickness (Alzheimer's disease).
The main actor and actress was very effective with their roles that gives me goose bumps whenever they give justice for acting the part that is pretty heavy to act.
Prepared to cry all your heart out to this and enjoy the love that no boundaries. :)

I will try to stick around for a few more chapters just so I can see him a little bit more. That is, if I can stand the bad acting and the over the top bullying going around. :/

I have to start this out by laughing.This drama is hilarious from the first episode i got caught.
The main actor was excellent one of his best. This really showed his ability and diversity in acting when compared to his previous drama. His acting was flawless. My love for Lee Dong Wook has grown tremendously.
The main actress...........Lee Si Young was amazing.(nods) I have to give her her props she got the whole tomboy tough-girl bodyguard role perfectly even her gestures were right on target, even when she had to show her weak side it was just amazing.
The plot i must say was very good,and the climax was a nice twist.I also looked forward to the smaller stories of the supporting characters, each of which really added to the essence of the whole thing. It was the first time I seeing Kang Dong-Ho in a drama but he really caught my attention.And as a plus there were a lot of eye-candy in the is drama. lol I grade you with an A+++.

i started watching for Lee Min Ho and stayed for everything else.
This is a drama worth watching the actions was good the actors were perfect the plot was amazing. The writer just keeps you going and going. The first episode may get one a little confused but it has its purpose, once you get past it you will understand what is going on and you'll fall in love. If you love action scenes, surprise after surprise, a good story that keeps your jaw dropping and Lee Min Ho you will watch this drama over and over again.

And yet, I loved it! I marathoned through it in a couple of days, and enjoyed every episode. I laughed, smiled, grinned. One may object that a drama is either good and to our liking, or it isn't. But the reasons why I like watching something aren't always as clear-cut and defined as I would like to think: I can remain cold in front of a masterpiece, and be enthusiastic of a piece of trinkets.
Hence my tepid marks, which reflect what I hope is an unbiased estimation, not the degree of my liking it.
Fact is, I truly loved the characters. Kohei, the bodyguard played by Nishijima Hidetoshi, is incredibly endearing. I had never seen this actor on screen before and at first sight I thought he was the complete opposite of an eye-candy. But his character is so sweet and lovable, I ended up liking him a lot. Kim Tae Hee, whom I could barely tolerate in My Princess, is adorable here, contributing factor the Japanese language, which renders her voice deeper and more pleasant.
The great actor Takanabe is hilarious. He seems vain and utterly stupid, but we soon discover he hides his own complex, and from that moment on, I dare everyone not to root for him, if not as a lover, at least as a friend and professional actor.
All the other characters do a good job, including Taecyeon, who surprised me with his very good Japanese. The bad guys aren't given enough screen time to get on our nerves.
The music is fine, mostly in the second half of the drama.
Surprisingly, I think I'll rewatch this drama one day. It was a perky watch, which I recommend to whomever is in need of something light, funny, romantic without being melodramatic or mushy.

The Acting and Cast was pure genius, they definitely chose the right people to play each role and part. I not going to lie, I was thinking it would be a disaster with I saw the cast but I was pleasantly surprised when I realized the actors captured the essence of each character very well.
The music, or most of it, was by Super Junior(whom two of the main acts are artist for). I am a SuJu fan and found that most of the music that was played was quite appropriate to the scene. Even the music that didn't belong to Suju matched very well with the mood. The only complaint I have with this is the fact that some of the scenes that had music didn't really need it and it actually took away from the scene having the BG music. Also there were some scene's that would've been better suited to have music and yet didn't.
As for the rewatch value, the only reason it is low is because I'm not someone who can ever rewatch any drama. My personal preference kind of shadows the outcome of that rating, you could say. But to anyone who is often one to rewatch, or reread something than this is perfect for you. Its funny and the jokes and awkward moments don't get old. Though I would not rewatch the whole thing, I find myself rewatching certain scenes and laughing when doing so.
Overall, I give this a 10 because honestly it was a good drama. I've watched numerous before but this one actually captured my attention so well that I found myself wanting days to hurry up and go by so the next episode would hurry up and be released. It was a drama that not only wouldn't leave my mind but also one that I could laugh about even after seeing certain scene several times. If your a romantic comedy person than you'll absolutely adore Skip Beat the way I did. It was truly outstanding and a joy to watch and laugh over. I completely recommend this drama.

Donghae and Siwon were great choices though due to their popularity and looks. They also delieved suprisingly good acting despite Siwon's significant lack of screen-time (a real blow to my SuperJunior-fan-heart you can imagine) and well that language barrier that shouldn't have existed. My favorite thing about going through this drama was the opening song; is that weird? Other than that the drama was really funny and there's practically a pro for every con. Though even through my dislike of specific things in the drama I still can't bring myself to dislike all of it. It has SuperJunior members, good plot, hilarious scenes and very likeable characters, so it's worth a watch if you're not too caught up in wanting romance. I, for one, am hoping for a second season.

Amongst all the "girl pretends to be a boy" dramas this is the most believeable one and the actress does an outstanding job. The story itself is very hilarious and fascinating till episode 12. At this point with other dramas i would get bored but this drama has such strong chemistry between the actors that it kept me watching even the back and forth romantic battle between the main leads which felt quite refreshing for some reason.
Yoon Eun Hye does a terrific job, give it a shot.

The main characters are very effective doing their respective roles. It has all the essence of a good drama (romance, comedy, hardship, struggles,real love, humorous moments,and mystery) that will surely enjoy of every people loves to watch drama like me.
Favorite part of this drama is when they switch body/soul.. it is very funny how they act for their original body especially the guy.

I know that those many cuts and this style of directing is typical for most T-drama, but to me cutting the drama this often mean cutting the rythm, and in such a crazy comedy that needs slower moments for sweet or sad scenes, rythm is a priority. So cutting the scene in half and repeating them, and stopping a scene to let us hear what everyone is thinking (in an anime kind of way...but even slower), definitely killed the rythm of some very important scenes, and kept me from being captivated by the story and moved by the characters.
Another thing that kept me from being moved : the poor dubbing. Honestly, how on earth am I supposed to judge the acting if the two male leads are dubbed! Be it an extra or a guest star, ok, but the TWO male leads ! But still, Ivy Chen was a convincing Kyoko, so I gave her 5 points.
The music now. At first I liked it, it was fun, but as the drama went on, I realized how unbalanced it was. They really didn't choose well which music suited which scene, and that's too bad, because it sometimes ruined the mood.
Nevertheless, I gave a 7 in rewatch value because some scenes were really funny (no, REALLY! ) and because...well...I love Skip Beat !

This movie presents different life situation that people face. Some can be found easily in our surrounding, some are "invisible". A Person with Tourtuette Syndrome is one of that invisible things.
The actors played their role pretty well. There're not many tears or laugh, yet you still can feel the emotions they brought. Also, you can get life-lesson through some explicit sentences they said.

This isn't what you're looking for and don't dream to have a better ending than the one from the drama!

Story - 10 : It's definitely a story that interested me. Two babies switched at birth by a vengeful nurse, only to discover later on in life what happened.
Acting/Cast - 10 : This one explains itself if you watch the show. The acting was fantastic. The actors portraying nice characters had you loving them at all times; the actors portraying "villains" had you wishing you had the ability to hit people through your screen.
There was, of course, the few English speaking actors every now and then that took overacting to a whole new level, but you learn to deal with it.
Music - 10 : The OST is absolutely amazing. Every song (and instrumental) is perfect. Their timing with the scenes is perfect.
Rewatch Value - 6 : I think, looking at how many episodes made up this show, this questions answers itself. Maybe, a long time down the road when I have a lot of free time, and desperately need to cry, I'd rethink this decision.
Overall - 9 : Up until secrets started slowly being revealed, it felt like it was moving incredibly slow, but I still found myself hooked. And once everybody knew everybody else's secrets, I found it hard to turn it off.
Like I stated above, if you ever need to watch something that'll have you crying your eyes out more often than not, and you don't mind a bit of a slow story, this show won't disappoint.

The story is actually very original, there is place for cuteness, drama, comedy, a great second female lead, and beautiful couple scenes. What's not to love ?
I gave a 9 in acting because I beleive the second male lead lacked nuance on his part, but the two leads are doing an amazing job.
Anyway it's a good drama, so go watch it ^^ lol !
