The story itself was interesting to me. The leads couldn't have been more opposite if it killed them, yet the hidden intrigue the male lead seemed to have at having someone that optimistic following him around got me. Regardless of the shenanigans Oh Ha Ni get herself into countless times, and got Baek Seung Jo dragged into as well, her personality and Baek Seung Jo's cool exterior made the show never dull to watch. I have watched Playful Kiss several times over, and will continue to do so because it is one of my favorites.

Coupled with the music, the acting and story is killer, for lack of a better term. Whether you like classical music or not, or enjoy such sad stories, the sweet moments mixed in with personal tragedy will make you laugh and cry when you least expect it. Definitely a drama worth watching.

Overall, the movie was spectacular. From the music to the pretty faces, right down to the acting and mouthwatering desserts. The interactions between the four men were adorable at times, and I laughed myself out of my seat at others. I've always been a fan of Kim Jae Wook, so to see him here was a real treat.
Wonderful movie, and one I will definitely be watching again when I have the time.

It starts off pretty slow for the first fifty episodes or so. There are twists here and there, but it wasn't anything gut-wrenching that made me shake my fist at the screen (a fairly common occurrence during a good drama for me) or cry like a baby. At times, I felt like the series dragged on, stretching an issue out over several episodes when it could have been just as easily explained in one, sometimes even half an episode.
As I said, though, around episode fifty I could feel things starting to heat up, and once the numbers hit the sixties things really set on fire. The revenge, the desperation, the feelings of utter helplessness when it comes to helping your most beloved person wade through the tides... It all seemed to just explode. For me, that was well worth the wait and watching all the episodes before. Some characters that I had previously wondered about the overall purpose of now showed great inner conflict and the reasons for certain behaviors were explained in a way that nearly wrenched out my heart.
Overall, I felt the leads did a fantastic job portraying their characters. While the story may have dragged on a bit, the actors themselves rose to the challenge, portraying their characters surprisingly well even after so many episodes. Sometimes even after twenty episodes I'll find that someone will slip up in their character on drama, but the leads here really stuck to it well. Very good show.

Acting- The two leads had a cute chemistry. They didn't have a lot of emotional scenes so I cant judge thier acting skills. I really hated Lee Da Hee in this. She plays an awful villian. Shes better in her comedic roles.
Music- Average cheesy OST
Rewatch Value- You could probably watch it again when your bored and if you finished watching all the best dramas.
Overall- Cute but forgettable drama.

The lighting, the constant rain and even the angles of the house all lent themselves to the mood of the film. Which I thought was a clever technique. The acting in the film was very good. Hyun Bin may be gorgeous but time and time again he has proven he's got serious skills. I don't watch him because he's cute anymore. I watch him because I know I am going to be watching a really great actor.
Having said that: This film is shot in a really quiet way. In one shot in particular you just see the woman sitting on a chair, smoking a cig for a good minute or so. There were times when I thought the director was building upon the silence. Using the rain and the dark and the two character's obvious silences toward an end of some kind.
With the woman I felt frustration and guilt. From him I could feel sadness and quiet hopeless acceptance. Sometimes it felt that they were using their silence to punish eachother. I was waiting for some kind of breakthrough. For some of this emotion to surface. This was not to be... I felt like this movie ended in the middle of a sentance and now we don't know what anyone involved was even trying to say.
It's like going to an abstact art exhibit at looking at a painting of a single huge black dot on a white canvas and thinking..."Why?" and "I hope the artist didn't get paid for this" and "Yeah, I did one just like that in kindergarten." Sometimes when you try to be to artsy, clever and minimalist...you fail big time.
