Acting was good, a little exaggerated here and there. Just that I,personally, didn't feel the spark/chemistry between the characters.
The OST, the same as the drama doesn't have any 'seriousness' to it. But I do enjoy listening it even after I finished the drama. The lyrics are rather 'joyful'and is a real pleasure to listen. At some point you will find yourself humming the songs, especially Yoon Sae Ha - "Loving Loving'.
Overall, 'Flower boy ramyun shop' is a good drama to watch if you don't have anything else to watch. Nothing really serious, just the normal, typical 'fluffy' drama.

Funny? Check.
Hints of playful romance? Check.
Mystery and flashy meat? Check.
The beginning may seem a bit repetitive, but it'll eventually grow on you. Don't expect something of Poirot's caliber, but it's just the right mix of small things we tend to love in dramas. Recommended.

I really liked the story. I really liked the subtle humor. I found the band's journey inspiring as they faced all these hardships to make it the spotlight. Some things i didn't like was that they could have written more for the other 3 guys in the band. They all had stories but they were only briefly touched upon. I'm not really clear if there was a romance between the PD lady and the singer of the band cause there were only a few certain scenes that kind of pointed in that direction but then they would cut to something else and the ending was confusing too.
The acting was alright. The actress that plays the PD didn't have all that much to do to portray her robotic character seeing how this is how she acts in her other roles ive seen her in. The main singer guy made his character believable cause hes actually a really good singer but his acting isn't anything special. The other 3 guys in the band had very few lines so its hard to judge them.
The OST was really good. I might add the songs to my ipod. That "summer dream" song is really catchy cause they play it every 5 minutes it seems.
I'd rewatch this one but not right away.
Overall Mr. Idol is a fun watch but better casting could have made it even more enjoyable.

This drama gets addictive from the beginning to the end. I was really curious to see how it would end.
The actors performed really well, and to see Kim Bum in such a role, I almost drooled *o* The main lead was absolutely exceptional, too.
The plot... I don't usually watch dramas like those, so for me it was really amazing. I was afraid it would finish badly, but I kept watching it.
The only thing I wish they could have done better was develop a few things more like why did Min Ho got stabbed and what was the relationship between the four of them or the ending, I was hoping Kang Chil to get cured but the story just ends it without any advice. It makes us think all their effort were a bit worthless.
Still, it's a drama that has a good message and it lived up to my expectations!
This is really an amazing drama. Watch it :)

The story was good but the part where they get the evidence together(which was like half the movie) wasn't that interesting to me. I feel like it would have been better if they focused more on the trial. I thought the last 30 minutes was brilliant. The ending was clever.
The acting by everyone was good. However Jang Hyuk was really amazing. You don't really see this till the last part of the movie though. During most of the movie, his character is downplayed. Then towards the end you get to see this whole other side. It was fun to see.
I liked the movie but it in the end isn't something i'd enjoy watching again but it is rewatchable.

When I first read the summary for it I went in thinking Blue Salt was going to be this big gritty action extravaganza. Yeah well this movie was the total opposite! Yes there's guns and gangsters fighting but the story was more based on human emotion. I didnt really like the romance in this cause to me it felt more like an attachment/friendship. The ending was predictable and unpredictable at the same time.
The acting by SSK was really really good! I hardly recognized her from her High Kick series. The main gangster guy was a good actor but i didnt really feel the chemistry with SSK's character. It was nice seeing quite a few actors who are known more for their drama roles.
Overall this movie was good but it was missing something to make it stand out for me.

There were however, some elements that frustrated me. This is the kind of drama where there is an automatic redundancy that comes with the plot. Every episode he goes back, fixes a small mistake from his past. I think because of this you have to have a hook to keep the viewer watching. I found myself being frustrated by the many chances given and lost as well as many words left unspoken for too long.
I am thankful this drama was only 11 episodes because anymore and I don't think I'd have been able to finish. I must admit I almost gave up after 8 but due to the acting and the sweetness of the main couple I came back and finished. The characters were charming and I wanted to see if Kenzo would finally get his Rei. In the many sweet moments and scenes of their friendship and underlying love story is where the tentative hook to stick with this over rode the urge to drop it.
The movie/special redeemed this show for me but I will expound more in that review. The editing and directing were also good. I would imagine it is difficult to pull off time travel, past and future worlds and keep up consistency but this drama does it well.
The music didn't really stand out for me. I am giving this a 7 because there are dramas out there that want and need a good OST and some that simply aren't really about the music in the background. I think this drama was fine without a standout OST.
The rewatch value is just medium. Mostly because I know I won't watch again but I am sure others will.
This is a sweet little story. Try and have patience with it and I do think you will be glad you did.

The whole drama to me is like a very good Korean movie!!!
And I should mention the scenery!!! The views in the drama are spectacular. Thumbs up for the director and the whole crew!
I've watched lots of dramas but this one is different in its good meaning. At first, I wasn't going to watch it, but I gave it a try after reading a few positive comments. And I watched it one episode after another in one go.
So, I recommend it to you who are still hesitating. It's tear-jerking, but it's worth it, because when the scene is at its high emotional pick, only then you can truly understand what and how character feels at the moment, what he or she is going through.
Wonderful drama.
