Well the movie did start off on a promising note but things went downhill after that. Jung Won and Eun Gyu''s relationship isn''t given sufficient time to develop and things always seem to be moving at the speed of light with too many things happening in quick succession. Suddenly we see things happening but nothing seems to make sense. The acting is relatively good and I felt that the music is amazing. That made this movie watchable for me!

I must say that its a shame no one has ever even commented on this movie.

Its inspirational and personally it made me think about a lot of different things.

YOU SHOULD WATCH IT,I don't think you will regret it :)

Overall this drama is pretty good, but not amazing. It is not heart-wrenching but it had enough drama to keep me entertain. There are some plot holes (Shuji got drunk enough to forget what happens but not drunk enough to get a hangover) but they aren't major so it can be ignored. The high point of Taisetsu is the actors/actresses. Although Takei Emi is a new actress, she did an amazing job. She had the most complex character in this drama and I wouldn't want anyone else to act it. Toda Erika was amazing as always and so was Miura Haruma but Takei really surprised me. In the beginning, I didn't like Takei's character but I began to sympathize with her throughout the drama. Miura's character, Shuji, on the other hand, really annoyed me. Shuji is one of the most fickle and indecisive character that I have ever seen. Everything about him is unclear (his relationship with the student, his feelings for Natsumi, what he wants to do in life, etc...). Even though he says that he loves Natsumi, I didn't really feel that he did. The music in this drama is different from other Japanese dramas in that it is entirely made out of English songs. The soundtrack doesn't always fit the moment but I did enjoy some of the songs. I would recommend this drama to someone who wants to watch something realistic.

To put it bluntly, I\'\'m disappointed in this film. If this is supposed to accurately reflect the concerns and lifestyle of the average 23 year old female recent college grad, then the media is not far off when they declare my generation to be a petty, superficial, and selfish bunch.

After the climactic fall out between the friends, Yoo Min (Yoon Eun Hye) reveals to Min Hee (Yoo In Na) that she doesn\'\'t know her friends as well as she thought she did. The same can be said for this film: it tries too hard to be Sex and the City, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and The Devil Wears Prada, and ends up sacrificing its own identity. Despite its best efforts, it fails to capture either the life wisdom of SATC, the magic of Sisterhood, and the sympathy of Devil.

Supposedly it\'\'s the friendship among the four women that helps them to weather the storm of conflict. However, I found that friendship to be lacking. The first time we see all four together is at a club where they surround a table of drinks and proceed to bet on whether or not Hye Jin (Park Han Byul) will successfully bed a fellow club-goer. Other than that, the story follows the girls individually, reuniting them for a blow-out argument and then at the end for a rather unconvincing resolution. Apart from shopping and clubbing, the movie gives us no insight into why these four are friends to begin with, and without that, I found myself not caring whether or not they remained friends.

The story is ordinary. The acting is okay (I\'\'m beginning to think that Yoo In Na has fallen into the bubbly, airhead typecast). I can\'\'t recall a single song from this movie. Basically, this is a formula chick flick, written and acted by the book. For a chick flick to resonate with me, it doesn\'\'t have to be unique or clever, but it has to have heart; it has to make me feel something. This one is as empty and shallow as the four friends.

Awesome dancing, but that was about it. I did not really care for the rest of the movie, b/c it was very similar to others I have seen. I just like the dancing. The rest of the movie was nothing special.

All these dancing movies r the same. There really is no difference b/t this 1 & ne other 1 u watch. I liked the music though. The end was kinda dorky, but the dancing was good. U can enjoy it for the dance content but the story is very blah! I liked the dancing and that was about it. The rest I could do w/o.

This movie is so silly, it's hilarious.

I stumbled upon it a couple of years ago, following the footsteps of Takeshi Kaneshiro. And like any great actor, he has chosen some third-rate roles before turning into the acclaimed star he is now - and rightfully so.



The beginning of the movie is promising, the fallen angel a common enough trait but well done and the interaction with the female lead pretty original. But the more the story unfolds - or perhaps I'd better say that it folds up - the more I found myself either laughing or raising my eybrows in puzzlement. I thought I would understand its meaning or purpose once watched to the end, but 2 years have passed and I'm still waiting.



The acting is average but the chemistry between the leads is good, so that if one is just looking for a cute love story and a decent kiss, this film might be appealing. But do not expect meaningful dialogues, some lesson to be learnt or a beautifully portrayed story because this film has nothing of the sort to offer.

It offers great views of Takeshi Kaneshiro's charms though, which in itself could be the one and only reason to watch this: sit, prepare pop-corn and drool. Period.



I can't remember the music for the life of me.



I don't think I'll re-watch this movie any time soon.

This is one of my favorite films.The actors are just really good.Kim Sun Ah is an excellent actress on her on ,to top it the plot is also good. The humor what you would expect from a film with Kim Sun Ah in it.

I just have to say that if you like romantic/comedy-action you would love this film.It's a must watch.

Even though this movie was slow, it was one of the best movies I have ever watched. I loved it. The story was amazing. The actors/actresses did the best job in their roles. The music fit perfectly. I will watch this over and over. I don't know if others will enjoy it as much as I did b/c it is very different from what is expected. When I read the synopsis I had a totally different pic of what would happen. I am glad that my imagination was not as well thought out as the actual movie. Enjoy this movie w/ an open mind b/c it is not filled w/ action or drawn out in drama fashion. I have to put this one on my fave list.

I had an interest in Moon Chae Won's first drama as a lead actress after seeing her opposite characters in My Fair Lady and Shining Inheritance...

Story: The main focus is on this family who face difficult challenges in wake of an unfortunate life altering event. The first episode was so unpredictable and the ending of it will lead you to want to watch the next episode to see what will happen next. There are multiple storylines going on because there is a large cast so you will definitely stay interested and not get bored. My only gripe is that the romance between the main couple is kind of weak and the ending for them was kind of cheesy...

Acting/Cast: The acting doesn't blow me away but somehow I found myself engrossed in all the characters. There were so many characters that at first its hard to keep up with who's who. After I got to know everyone though I found myself rooting for everyone. I even wanted our villain (very creepy/scary) to redeem himself although it never happens.

Music: OST fits the show well. The theme song is cute & very catchy.

Rewatch Value: I liked this show so i'll rewatch it but not right away.

Overall the plot was engaging but the writers lacked focus and felt a little bit all over the place so a little tightening up with the story could of made it even better. Its positives are that its very touching and you learn a lot about close family relationships.

I don't know anything about this movie other than the movie itself. And, I thought it was amazing. The actors/actresses conveyed the emotion of the characters so well that I actually cried and I hate to cry. I really enjoyed all aspects of this movie and will watch it again. Others watch it and enjoy.

I really liked this movie. The story was wonderful. I would love to see this in a drama w/ the same actors/actresses but I figure that won't happen. The music was good except it was too loud in certain areas. I will watch this again b/c it was adorable. I think others will enjoy it also b/c it is full of love and fun.

This was one of my first Chinese Martial Arts type movies. The storyline wasn\'\'t the best storyline and was relatively forgettable. However, it completely makes up for it with its outstanding fight scenes, like every good martial arts/kung fu movie does. The music was okay. And while i normally don\'\'t like rewatching movies, this one is one I definitely will just because it has such great fight scenes. Overall, i\'\'m giving this movie an 8. It\'\'s not the best movie, but it\'\'s not bad either. If you\'\'re a martial arts fan, you\'\'ll probably love this movie.

1st off I never got to c episodes 17 & 18 b/c I could not find a link to them anywhere. Damn u viki!



2nd, the acting was so cheesy I wanted to puke. I'm not saying all of it was bad just most of it. It was like watching ppl read lines at some points. Oh & the shit eating grins at the end b/c EVERY1 was SO happy was just ridiculous.



This drama was kinda like the Korean movie, but not as well acted. The dancing was nothing special b/c it did not flow well from the dancers. It was like the acting pieced together.



I say watch it if u want to but it's not that great. I finished it b/c I hate to drop things. Oh well not a complete waste of time but close. At least I liked the story behind it. I suggest that it be remade w/ ppl that can really dance.

I have to start off by saying I love Mike He.



OK! Now that I got that out of my system here is what I thought about this drama. The story was awesome. I loved it! The best part was that Yun Jie did not have a conflict concerning his emotions toward Yong Yong and his ex. There were a lot of experiences that happened in the drama that made it different, but there were so many similarities to other dramas that it made it very predictable.



Now the music was ok, but there were parts where it sucked. I really enjoyed it when the music kinda conveyed a sense of humor along w/ the scene. The actress playing Yong Yong was amazing. I loved how she showed emotion but was holding it back. I want to see her in more dramas b/c she was the reason I kept watching (well besides Mike).



Even though this drama was kinda slow I will prolly watch it again in the future. IMAO I think others will enjoy it as well.
