Well i am one of those people who fell in love with Kurosagi the drama and was impatiently waiting for the movie. I was hoping that they would finish the drama in a great way but i was kind of disappointed in the story and the movie's events; it's like they went to point 0 of the drama just like nothing happpened at the end which made me angry but being able to see Kurosagi's tricks all over again worth watching.
If you watched the drama you'il probably dislike this but as i said earlier seeing the old tricks worth wasting your time on it.
Yes it could have been better but the effort is granted.

I came across this movie when I was studying Chinese history, and Wikipedia mentioned this movie as having a historical background, so I decided to give it a go. The movie does have a historical background, though one does NOT need to know the history of China to be able to enjoy this movie.

Story 8/10: The only reason I didn't give this movie a 9 or a 10 is because it has no real twists. You know what's going to happen from the beginning, especially if you know Chinese history and how that turned out. I did love the characters though, even the evil ones were relateable in my opinion.

Acting 10/10: I have no qualms with the acting, and it was perfect. The only problem I had was I believe I watched a dubbed one ( either it was originally in Cantonese or Mandarin and then it was changed to the other since the voices/lips sometimes didn't match. Not too big of an issue though).

Music 7/10: The music wasn't outstanding. It was average. It didn't take away from the movie or add to it.

Rewatch Value 6/10: If you're a Martial Arts fan like I am, then this is something you could definitely rewatch as their are almost no twists int he movie.

Overall 8/10: This is a solid movie, not the greatest, but not bad either.

I watched the anime so i previously know the story and believe me watching the movie was a great thing to do. I didn't feel time passing by and i totally fell in love with the lead actors since they did their roles in a great way.
The innocent love made this movie special on its own way, it was a great adaptation. I totally recommend it: if you watched the anime of course you need to watch this and if you haven't then just give it a go and you will just fall in love with it.

Well, the film was nice, no regrets watching it anyway . The story and the plot weren't that great but it wasn't boring and that's what matters the most. However, there were a lot of annoying events during the film.
I know the lead actress but I am not too familiar with the lead actor; they were good overall, I believe they've done a nice job as actors but I can't say the same about their characters who were irritating and absurd.
If you're looking for a film to pass time with, this one could be what you're looking for.

One of the first Kmovies i've ever seen.
To say the truth i did found it a little unusual at some parts plus i didn't exactly like the lead actress and to be honest i've only watched it because i just like the lead actor but then as the movie went on i found it nice, the rich boy thing, the troubles of the past, everything was nicely done, worth watching since the story is good enough to make you waste your time on it and since the movie was cool.

Okay, i'm not into chinese language but i've watched this movie and i actually don't regret it, the thing about business mixed with romance was a nice idea for the movie.
I'm not too familiar with leads but they have done a nice job, well it was fair enough wasting my time by watching it so no regrets!

As a remake of the famous "You're beautiful" this japanese version was fair enough. Honestly the story is almost untouched except little things that i liked them adding it especially at the bigenning and at the end. The korean actors are a little better than the japanese ones but i loved Mio better than Go Mi Nam.
Some characters differs a little from both versions but what insures me the most that the music is the same i mean of course they translated it to japanese but it was a nice move i was afraid that they would change it.
Finally, i prefer japanese over korean when it comes to the language issue so to end this i would say that each version is nice on its own way and let's not forget that the japanese version was faithful to the original one.

I got hooked.

Started watching it at 1pm ended at 7am (no sleep). That's how good the drama was for me. The complicated relationships made me wanna watch the next episode so bad that I ended up having no sleep.

THIS DRAMA IS NOT FOR KIDS. One has to be open-minded when watching this drama.

Acting was good. The leading woman acted cutely. The leading man acted jealous and cute. I started this drama wishing that the 1st couple would end up together (after watching the 1st episode, i skipped to the last just to know who the woman will end up with). Towards the end, I ended up wishing that the 2nd guy and the leading woman would end up together.

It has a sense of comedy and drama. You'd be able to feel the drama's emotions. What I mean is that when one feels angry, you'd be angry. When one feels in love, you'd also feel in love. That's what I liked with this drama.

I think this drama aired last year (2011). I actually told myself, why the hell did I postpone watching this?! I regretted watching it late. Now that I've watched it, I feel good because another happy ending has ended. ;)

I watched this drama when i was a total newbie in Asian dramas field and what a way to start the addiction! Of course at that time i wasn't familiar with actors neither the kind of stories that korean dramas proceed but from the very first episode i liked the drama and end up devorating it in 3 days!
The story, the characters, the music,the actors, i will never forget this drama, it actually opened my apetite for dramas.

Many would say that the story ressembles "You're beautiful", i felt that way too at the beginning but as the episodes went on i see how unique this drama is, i mean the story of a girl dressing as a boy is known before yet this time it's felt special somehow since she has a strong personality that's different from Go Mi Nam Go.
After completing the drama i would say; this drama could have been much better but they cut it short and ended it in a way that pissed me off somehow, i wanted more and i was expecting a better storyline in the last 2 ep, they left it open in a way that didn't satisfy me but i didn't hate it, i just was disappointed but no regrets, i had fun watching this drama.

I wanted to watch this drama until the end before writing a review to see what would happen and i'm glad i did so.
The story isn't new for me since it's taken from the manga and the anime i've got to admit that i felt extremly good seeing it come to life by this great cast that couldn't be any better, i mean Siwoon and Donghae were good plus i discovered the uncredible actress Ivy Chan i wouldn't find any one better than her for this role.
The music performed by Super Junior M , Donghae and several other chinese singers was nice, i am not even into chinese language but the songs choice was great.
When i was watching Skip Beat i felt that the episodes were so fast and i always wanted more : i am still demanding a second season because i feel there's still a lot to tell and a lot for us to watch, it has been fun watching this drama.
Basically if you're skip beat fan this is a must watch!

I really got a warm and fuzzy feeling during the time I watched this drama, more-so when I watched the great ending it had.
I was expecting a funny, very relaxed and not so profound story, like I had experienced in Zettai Kareshi, a drama I really loved and thoroughly enjoyed, but instead I found a great story that offered an interesting view into how a person with no desire for the future can discover the lost feelings and emotions that person lacked for so long. The story makes you think about what makes a person love and how can one find a purpose in living, by letting by gones be by gones and recreating oneself in order to achieve happiness.
The cast did a great, great job, even the supporting cast was awesome, but the leads really were very good.
I recommend this drama to anyone that is looking for a great story that not only entertains you, but that also makes you think and analyze yourself along the way. :)

When I started watching it, I was still hesitant. I'm not really a fan of historical dramas, but it seems I'm slowly becoming one. "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" was my first, and it was totally amazing... And not "The Princess Man" totally blew my mind.

The actors chemistry is definitely superb. They made me smile and cry at the same time. The "Romeo x Juliet" story was totally heart breaking, and a lot more well-done.

The plot was the thing that made be more excited and, at the same time, more upset. They rush the first episodes, where the viewer watch their feelings for each other,making us confused about how their feelings were so deep.
The plot was damn exciting, every episode had their own twist. That was annoying sometimes, but it was worth it. I even thought they could have just done 16 to 18 episodes, but now I regret that thoughts. However, the ending didn't satisfy me.Although I liked it, it seems they all fought for something they didn't achieve. All the moments in the story that made us laugh and cry happened in vain, basically.

Despite everything, it's definitely a good drama. You should watch it for sure :)

Well, Well, Well... I didn't expect this film to be that good after reading the synopsis, but I was pleasantly surprised. Considering that this was one of the first films the young actors had played in their acting was spot on. With this kind of film it could be easy for them to go over the top and become unlikeable horrible teenagers but I found them relatable and more importantly likeable.

The storyline was good, it had be guessing at the murderer all the way through and wasn't obvious. The film was just right in length, short enough to keep the thrills up and long enough to tell the story without confusion.

Watch this if you love a good mystery but with a bit of comedy and doesn't take itself too seriously.

It was good slightly slow at the beginning and got a bit boring in some parts. Overall it was a good storyline. Thou it freaked me out after. Its about suviving but also involves love somehow too. The acting was pretty good aswell they all did very well. The music was good and I could defently watch it again despite the fact it wud probley freak me out again. Beware it is very gory
