So... I'm afraid I'm not as enthusiastic about this drama as many people are. I started watching because I love Ji Chang Wook, I'm not going to lie. However it didn't do much for me. I didn't see as much chemistry between the main OTP as most viewers, and ocasionally, the cheesy factor drove me back.
Also, that element in the past of both main characters that brings them together, I had the feeling I've seen this many other times in other dramas.
It's not that I think it wasn't well made or that it was bad, but it wasn't that extraordinary to me, at least compared to other dramas that have been airing this season.

Things I liked, though? Dong Ha. He was great as the psycho. I usually don't like that cliché-ish super-evil portrayal of most villains in dramas. I know it's the melo factor, but I hate it. However, he did a great job and I hope it didn't go unnoticed and he can be featured in more dramas in the future.

Also, I liked the second OTP and I think Hello Venus's Nara did a pretty decent job. And the resolution of this couple's story was satisfying enough for me.

They also managed to at least create a different and kind of endearing ex-girlfriend character. It ended up being the source of comedy because of its pitifulness.

All in all, this was a good drama, but I recommend not having too much expectations before watching it and maybe you'll end up enjoying it much more than I did.

What was my experience of this drama? Incredible!!! Yes! Incredibly ridiculous, annoying and unbelievable! So many incidents occurred where I thought..."for real?" "seriously?" "you got to be kidding!" and "HELL NO!”

This drama had the makings of a really good watch. The cast was gorgeous, the acting was really good and the chemistry between the two leads was the best I have seen in a while. The leads were adorable, and you really believed their love story.

BUT….even with all that going for it this drama could not be saved. The writer seemed like a teenager going through anx and the producers must have been desperate to even produce such rubbish. Yes I am being vitriolic because I am so disappointed that the potential was not realized.

This drama is ‘cliche heaven’ because every cliche in drama land that was created and died came here. The Queen of 'Noble Idiots' was the leading female character, and though I loved her to bits I could not stand her overly kind, self-sacrificing and forgiving nature, especially given that she really wasn’t a push over, she was just too nice.

The balance between obstacles and triumphs which the lead couple go through was way out of balance in the negative therefore you got tired of seeing them go through problem after problem with no decent solution.

Too farcical and nonsensical.

This drama started dragging early and you knew this when you saw the same mess repeating itself early on probably around episode 10. I kept thinking how many times can you play the same trick on the same people and they still not catch on they are being used and abused and used and abused again!!!!

The chickens started coming home to roost around episode 37, however even that was a disappointment because those chickens came home but the eggs never cracked until the final episode 41!!! Any revelations was only partial and just a tease so it dragged to the final episode!! I could not believe it! So here is my advice…..DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY ON THIS DRAMA or else you will be knocked out by twin brothers FRUSTRATION AND VEXATION. As you can see I still have not blown off enough steam from my anger and frustration as I am writing this review to help this cause.

How come I kept watching and how did I make it through to the end? Through sheer disbelief that I was watching such stupidness and pride would not allow me to accept that the drama was not going to improve. WHY? Because while the storyline was like a used up hag, with some creativity and a bit of ingenuity they could have pulled it off, after all it had a great cast, so I was hopeful.

Any way ALL IS WELL because its well ENDED! OVER AND DONE! HALLELUJAH!! Not to be repeated this watch BUT I will watch the lead couple again in anything. They were particularly adoring and endearing to me in this drama, so if you like good chemistry, beautiful cast and can sit through the rubbish story and plot then you can enjoy this.

So in summary my ratings are: Story 5, Acting 9, Music 5, Re-watch 0. My overall rating is 6 but I am giving an extra point to the actors so an overall 7.

Two words for describe this drama is amazing acting, of course with a great plot.

I like so much dramas which has a interesting story with mistery in where you need to conect situations and clues and this drama has a lot of of these.Of course is about crimes but no boring conversely you must to pay attention for every clue, every object and dialogs.

I was catch in each episode, also the villian is one of the best that I watch, he is really retailer , smart and powerful.However in some cases I was so frustrated, because he had a big conexion that always won and cover the truth, usually I think "He get away with it".

I like that you cant never predict the situation, a lot of unexpected turnswithout boring legal procedures or long monologes.

I'm sure they really like the drama has a combination of so many things that even touches of humor appear and you will be more fell in love with Ji sung, he is amazing actor and the cute girl catch your heart.

This is my first ever C drama . I happened to just came across a trailer through Facebook and I decided to give it a try and I didn't regret it ! It is highly recommended and very addictive! I feel inlove with Yuwen Yuen and Chu Qaio and their friends. It's just very sad that Yan Xun who was once a wonderful person and a true Prince Charming turned into someone else. We are excited to watch every episode everyday and how we wish we could understand mandarin. I have rewatched the other episodes while waiting for the ones with English sub released. Amazing cast !! And the music is superb ! Thumbs up ???????? and hope there will be sequel whatever the outcome of the story may be

First of all, it's not a drama about religion (even if the male lead is a monk), so don't worry about that!
Second, I have a really big concern about the story (it's not a spoiler, don't worry). At the beginning, the monk is stalking her, it's just stalking, it's not love or whatever. And I'm really concerned about that because some young girls could find it normal and if a psycho stalks them, they could think "oh, it's like in the drama, he's probably in love with me and I'm sure he's a good guy like in the drama". No, it's not like that, in real life, stalking is a serious matter and stalkers are not nice guys, they have a problem, they're not cute or in love!!!
Besides of that, it's a really cute drama, a cute love story. The actors are really good and you will fall in love with all of them.
This drama gives also really good advice (besides the stalking thing lol), like don't give up your dream for anyone, don't be afraid of expressing your feelings to your crush otherwise you will regret it, even if someone is acting "evil" he probably has some reasons, don't judge him too quickly, etc.
I only put a 7 for the rewatch value because I usually don't rewatch any drama or movie, I'm just like that.
So, just watch it and enjoy it :D

I just love this drama, at the first glance of the title "rich man poor woman" i thought this drama is like the typical drama where rich man fall in love with poor woman then come the hardship with the family, the rival, the money and status gap and all that other 'drama' in the typical 'rich man fall in love with poor woman', it turns out not. The hardships like rival is still exist but this drama also potray about friendship. In fact the story flows naturally, the ups and downs was as close to reality, the love chemistry also flows naturally and felt real, the characters development also flows naturally from how they learn their mistake, facing the hardship to understand each other and be a better person. You can also learn a lot of things about life from this drama. I'm just glad that i give this drama a chance by watching it, you better give it a chance too coz you're not gonna regret it. I just wish there's gonna be another sequel maybe about what happen after a few years, or maybe about tying loose end of other characters, or maybe about when they have kids and have to deal with kids this days who spend a lot of time with gadget or other form of the wrong use of technology.

The countenance of perfection!
Who cares about critics when a movie can represent someone's life on the big screen.
"Bokura in Gohan wa Ashita of Matteru" has a common but well written story with a perfect chronological narrative.
The genre bending comedy is also present, I loved it, it's not every day we see women taking initiative and picking on heavy and men doing light and domestic things, based on a novel by Maiko Seo, "Our Meal for Tomorrow" by Masahide Ichii is another unconventional romantic drama.
In the cast we have Ryota Hayama (Yuto Nakajima), high school student (Nakajima is a member of the popular boy boy Hey! Say! Jump), but is a lonely and sensitive when the movie begins. Then a girl from her class, Koharu Uemura (Yuko Araki), asks her to partner with her in a sack race ...
Working from the script itself, the film follows the reverse gender relationship - emotionally vulnerable face and mentally primordial girl with no ...
The story also features twists of often-seen plots, both medical and romantic, though their treatment of them is more original than normal.
"Bokura no Gohan wa Ashita de Matteru" is a love story any but for me it is one of the most impressive and cute I have ever seen. It's worth watching!

I knew nothing about the novel before watching this film, and only watched half of the drama but I thought the movie had more charming actors/performances and better CGI/set design by a long shot. The actors in the drama are stiff - not in a shy, introverted way, but in a dull plastic doll way. I was far more entertained by this movie.

That being said, the movie really fumbled with its pacing. The first 1.5 hours was focused on the leads falling in love - the last 0.5 hours was everything else under the sun. If the directors wanted to cover everything in the novel, then they should've paced it better. But since there were so many disparate topics and characters, I believe cutting certain storylines out would have benefited the movie. Without giving spoilers, there were certain one-sided-love stories that, though perhaps had a point in the original source, were just a waste of time in the film.

The film did a good job as a visually pleasing, light romantic film exploring the gaming world and college student world... but its representation of the heart of the source material is questionable. But it was definitely created to be something of the former than the latter (dat ending hashtag doe)

also - Jing Boran is so. handsome.

For being a small series I enjoyed it! Short and sweet, the characters were very likable and real,their reasoning behind their sometimes questionable actions were believable. It leaves you with some unanswered questions and the male love interest is severely underdeveloped with no personality, but the other three main characters did an excellent job. Barely any fanservice but this 40~ minute series is worth looking at for those down for a little drama and discourse. My only hope would be a follow up episode where they show the motives behind the male love interest, why he did what he did, and more on the "relationship" between the two female leads.
