Don't be foolled by title... "1 litre of tears" fsss yeah right... more like fuckin bucket!
Seriously you will cry every episode from very first one to the last one. So prepare tons of tissues.
But it's not just "ohh I feel so bad for her type of drama" it makes you think about life and it lets understand atleast a bit what some people going through.

"WHY ME?" I bet many people who got this dissease asks themselve this question.
I will not give you an answer. But I definetly got a theory after seing Aya's family and how relations between them were changing in every episode.
Is it enough to justify suffering of innocent girl? I don't think so. But I'm sure she was rewarded in afterlife for her goodnes and hope she gave to so many people she didn't even know.

Very sad but great story. I definetley reccomend it to everyone.


PS: I will not spoiler you anything but one scene in hospital when she reached out her hand... I really was expecting something else to happen there.. oh well maybe it's just me ^^ Let me know if you were dissapointed in that scene too.

I was hoping for funny and cute romance story. Did I really ask too much?

Everything would be ok if not this 0 skill actor who plays Uehara..
I fuckin hate him so much I can't watch this show anymore... I got 6 episodes to go but everytime I see his face I want to turn off TV
Where the fuck did they find this guy?! I understand his character is not "nice pretty boy" but his face has 0 expressions.. like WTF all the time the same look. This is really bad actor. Wooden block would play better.

Nao is great! She could play main character in School Rumble. She remindes me of Tenma so much.
Very cute girl and her acting is fine too.

This is first drama I will probably not finish... bleh ;/

I think as the person who has not been read the manhwa, I literally interested and carried by the story.

The storyline, particularly the character of The Gods are a bit strange, but still enjoyable to watch.



The main characters are having an adorable chemistry. Sometimes I feel that NJH's acting was a little bit weird, but I am still in love with him no matter what :p. SSK's acting was really good, natural and has meaningful expression, Idk why there is some people hate her acting, I just couldn't agree with them.

I cried a river, so if you have dry eyes, go for it. The acting was great, the pace, the story, everything was done very well. The only reason I give it not a 10 is because it was a bit too dramatic. I mean, when you think it cannot get any worse (the parents died, the boy becomes blind) it get's worse. How is that possible? It's a story, I know, but that's really some incredible bad luck. Overall a beautifully made movie that proves how great the korean cinema can be.

The story is a usual Thai drama. The disappointing part is it lets the viewers believe a story from the trailer. Had high expectations but as a fan of BL dramas, the strategy of GMM to catch attention is such a disappointment. Will not watch the remaining 2 parts, Monster Romance and the other one.

In terms of acting, only the performance of Non and Chimon stood out. The other actors are dull and forgettable.

I applaud the music and scoring. Good job to the composer.

Will I rewatch this? Certainly and definitely not.

To GMM: Don't give false hopes and don't take advantage of fans and then disappoint them in the end.

The story line is a little bit cheesy, but its a lot better than I thought it was going to be. The BL part is super cute, they characters have a really good chemistry with each other. The actors are really good, they play their parts really well, the only character I would say isn't that good is Peach. Overall the show isn't that bad.

If you love mature romance dramas this is the drama for you. In a world where the pretty and young dominate the romantic aspect The first half of my life stands out. From the cast to the story everything is very adult. Everyone has there own thoughts and opinions and nothing feels too dramatic. This story is one that can happen to anyone and I enjoyed it very much.

Story: All surrounding characters in their mid 30's to early 40's. I love how naturally every plot point occurs in the story. Nothing feel forced it doesn't feel like the writers were adding in a lot of filer. The dialogue is everything and a basic conversation between two chracters is always interesting.

(Fair warning the female character is whiny in the beginning but she gets better I promise.)

Acting. Top notch! A1! Everyone in this cast played their chracters to a T. If you've watched Jin Dong in other dramas you know what kind of chracters he gets type cast as. He lectures and gave me surgeon character feels at some point but his execution of his monologues are always great so it didn't deter me from watching the drama. The chemistry ,not just between the female and male lead, but the entire cast can be felt and I really loved it.

Music: Smooth jazz, loved it.

Rewatch: not unless there is a season 2.

Give this drama a try I promise you will enjoy.

As much as I love and have seen many Hollywood zombie movies, this one by far is my favorite one.

The storyline is great, the whole movie is not draggy at all and focuses on different characters. Speaking of characters, I fell in love with the cast and they became my "dream time" of some sort, if I were to be in a zombie apocalypse. There is nothing much to say really, other than that you HAVE to watch it! It will put all of those American zombie movies to shame. Just don't forget your napkins and some popcorn, because were going to Busan! (cheesy, I know ) :D

I believe that if i have watched this drama 11 years ago, it will make a lot of sense to put higher rating. Songs are lovely, however the tension music is a bit too much of it. The way drama is filmed is good for 2006 and would be quite cool, however i prefer simplicity over spec effects: slow motion. Episodes were too long and things are developing slowly. Drama is full or naivety, what i would address more to late 90s.

It barely takes any time to fall in love, so why it is a complete torture when it's time we need to say goodbye.- Episode 09h

There are times in life that we are set on the good path. Well, no problem, all your plans in life are smooth sailing. But, how if one day, all the things you think of as right became just the option?

We can teach emotionally to choose who we want but can not prevent when and where it will happen.

This series just make a good life lesson: Trust yourself and do what makes you happier. Even if it's not right in the eyes of others, but if that makes you happy, as long as you're not hurt by others, do it. At the end of the day, you're still there, you're still going to be affected by your decision.

The actors / actresses are between 14-25 of age. Almost all of the casts are new on the show business but not obviously the result of this series. They did a great job on portraying their characters especially the lead actors. They might look stupid on screen but it's just because they played your character given to them. Your twists and turns of events, just perfect blend.

Season 2, here I come!. Kudos!

So this drama started out as just a bit of fun and it helps that I love Jung Il Woo.

Storywise, it was ok if not a bit predictable. I never took this drama very seriously but it's a nice bubblgum type show. I really like the melo parts and Eun Ha Won's predicatments but some parts seemed to drag on a little bit and I found myself skipping some scenes.

The acting was amazing except I found Park So Dam's acting was a bit stiff compared to the others and her character was extremely childish. And I loved Choi Min Sung!

For me, this drama was average but what made this drama deserve a 8.5/10 in my book was the ending. It was perfect, not rushed, and there were no loose ends. And it added more depth to the story overall.

I'd recommend this to someone who just wanted to watch a fun drama with not too many expectations, just you have to stick it out when it gets slow to really appreciate the ending.

I started to watch this kdrama just because. But I didn't think this kdrama would make me cry this much. The story is absolutely twisted! Well, what was I expecting? This is a vampire kdrama.
The actors were amazing. I liked the vampire effect, I can't deny it. The main character did it awesome.
I didn't like the story that much, it was really interesting. I was amazed every episode even tho it started a bit slow. I was like yawning a few times, then when the action came I was awake again!
It was my first drama about doctors and vampires. It's an odd combination but it was okay.
The OST wasn't bad. I liked two songs, but I expected more.
Overall, actors did it great. 10/10. But the story hurt me and got me confused. I wouldn't rewatch it.

Side note*
I solely watched this film based on my thought of a student-teacher relationship but then switched to age gaps because I need material for a Story I am doing at the moment..

Hello SchoolGirl by far has to the most peaceful and realistic idea of a School girl having a relationship with an older man in my opinion. It didn't start out as some raunchy love at first sight trope ( Sorry to those who like that, I just think its alittle taboo in this situation ), Instead it was more natural and laid back, just them living life regularly, sometimes seeing each other casually without formally meeting each other I thought was way better for both the characters personalities. Then moving on to the train station where we see them not only interact but also the secondary couple as well. The scene seemed very natural to me because the train station is a place to see various people.

I recently re-watched it because I wanted to see if I still would rate it a solid 10 and I came to the conclusion that I still simply adore this movie.

I like the down to Earth portrayal of young adults in this. Relationships are messy. Good people sometimes leave or do unfair things, successful relationships fall apart, people find new partners etc. It's like the lead said: people meet, fall in love, leave and then meet someone new. It's possible that they get married solely to avoid this vicious cycle. Ultimately though, people crave intimacy, which also includes physical intimacy. I am so done with the story line in which 35 year olds have their shy first kiss because they were patiently waiting for their first love for 20 years. I love this movie for showing all shades of adult relationships. Yes, it is a movie with adult content and explicit sex scenes. I thought it was refreshing to finally see that in a Korean production. It's like Korean dramas have no problem dealing with sexual violence, corruption or murder, but are too scared to tackle sex in a real, mature way.

I felt that the characters were pretty multidimensional. The movie plays a trick on us: we root for a looser musician with no clear future and a woman so dissatisfied with her relationship that she is willing to cross lines that maybe should not be crossed. Even the beginning of their relationship is messy. If I had a situation like that happening between my friends, I would probably be very disturbed by that. Not so much in this film, though. The chemistry between those two is absolutely unbeatable. Even the conversations between the two leads were hot. However, what was even more intriguing was the deeper connection that slowly developed between the two.

Sure, the story is not groundbreaking and there are not millions of twists, but I don't think that there need to be. Fast pace ts not what makes this film unique.

Before I get into any thing I just wanted to talk a moment to respect the main Female Heong Da-bin She die in 2007 due to suicide . May she rest in peace, I wish I could have had the Chance see her acting in my earlier years to remember her.


Now, I think I'm going to be the bad guy when I say that when watching the movie I was very much confused majority of the movie. I did watch this movie when i was younger and was at the point still confused about the plot over all.

I think it was the pacing of the story line that got me confused. For starters, at the beginning of the movie Not once did the talk about the fourms she was on and why it was a big problem, big enough for a guy to hunt her down at her school. But when and how did he get her phone in the first place like is he a genius or a hacker ?

But after the kiss scene Things just got worst from there for me. Question after question keep popping into my head

Why was the brother putting on women underwear ? Was he doing a cam show or something ?

Where was the Father this whole time ?

How did everyone know about Eun-sung but Ye -won ?

Now, at this point we meet Hyo-bin which I think was a complete waste off of time In my opinion. Her character was a complete mess. I know I wasn't supposed to like her but jeez was she presences not even worth mentioning. They never did properly explain when, how ,and why she liked Eun-sung . Ya know for a girl how likes Eun-sung she didn't do much...at all her friend did most of the work majority of the time. Speaking of her, its like she had a personal grunge on Ye-won, like she killed her whole clan or something ,Calm down Sasuke. Bulling her, putting her in a hospital, Why becuase your best friend can't get over the fact that she was dumped by a guy that didn't like her in the first place ?

Birthday Arc :
Did you really think she was going to miss a chance to see her best friend who left for America just because you said "You'll regret not coming". Just tell her it was your birthday and you had something planned for her ( which i might say I would like to know what he planned ) . Plus, did you really think it would be a good idea to bring her while you have your ex-girlfriend their and her thoughtless pet there aswhile ?

Hospital Arc:
I'm going to be blunt...The hell was that ? What even ...
Firstly, When we find out his father has AIDs I was wondering whether it was hereditary or his Dad was fooling around with other women ? But those questions will never be answered . During this part I kept wondering when she started to devolve feeling for him becuase i sure as heck could not see any reason why she'd fall for him or would even visit at this point. He never clearly stated what he thought or felt for her. And boy, that fighting scene , after he came in i'm surpirsed he was dumb enough to belive that it was the wanna be thug that only beat Ye-won up. But lets be honset here , They were both stupid to even try attacking her INSIDE EUN-SUNGS ROOM . After that He finally tells somewhat of a back story about his childhood and about his father having AIDS. Now did i think they could have done this in a better way, Yes I think they should have made the scene more compelling by showing the father himself and the strain relation ship they have. Speaking about AIDS is a very serious topic all together so it would have been better to not make it a side concern (it was the best way i could put it )
During this whole movie all i could she was emotional baggage and dumb ways of dealing the stress that came with it. Like during the end leaving an already heart broken Ye-won at her door step.

I'm not even gonna mention the fact that this random dude in his click is out here telling her she at fault LIKE DID YOU NOT SEE WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH
