Commuting to School Series: Commuter Tram
3 people found this review helpful
mystery, the whole thing was cliché and the love story could have been
better. In the end, it was hard to understand what happened, why it
happened and how. The story looked interesting at the beginning, as the
whole fantasy-mystical element created suspense and an interesting
mystery to be unfold. However, the story got confusing and the romance
was not strong enough to help things get better. Maybe it was due to
lack of chemistry between the couple, though their performances were
really good. Or maybe the lack of a proper ending aided to make the
love story kind of boring. Again, the whole ghost story was too
complicated and not properly explained which led for this movie to be a
failure. So, 4 out of 10.

Story: About a mother who adopts a child who was abandoned and as she helps him pursue his dream of being an actor, she has to try and protect him from his selfish birth parents. And the man who is completely devoted to both her and her child.
Cast: My favorite thing was definitely the love shown by our male lead Gun Woo (Son Seung Won). *The perfect kind of man* This drama was even better because of him ;) The unconditional love, friendship, companionship and fathership he displayed in this drama should be every woman's dream for a man. This drama was really good to begin with but he made it even a hundred times better just b/c he was there. A man full of loyalty, devotion, steadfastness, honor, love, backbone, direction, and sacrifice. Completely self-less in all his actions. He showed true love and care for those around him. (I'm excited to see him in another Main lead role soon).
Eun Hee goes through so much in this drama, you'll feel terrible for her. She's a really nice sweet girl who loves her adoptive son as much as any mother would love their own biological child. She shows the meaning of true parenthood. Blood related or not - he was her child. It's a beautiful bond that was both sad and endearing. In the former half of the drama she struggles with her inferiority complex of being an orphan and tends to run away from her happiness. But that all changes short of midway through the drama where she realizes she needs to put her own feet in in order to be with people who make her happy. Basically, she takes charge of her life.
I also loved the bluntness of Myeong Sun and Eun Ah lol - they are quite like me in their way of thinking - I may appear to be more like Eun Hee but my thought process is definitely like the other two lol - My words can be harsh, blunt and to the point but my heart isn't as cruel as my words lol
So Jung was so annoying and irritating early on in the drama (obsessive towards her brother) we find out the reason later, but man it bothered me. Luckily she changes later b/c of circumstances and such and I started to really like her (also the actress gets replaced midway b/c the former one got sick).
Oh and Gwang Soo was so adorable! Kyaa! I loved how he was so attracted to the "charismatic" woman Myeong Sun ^^ He's a charmer and oh so cute! ;) Another actor I will be anticipating in another drama. ^^
The fathers were SO great! and I loved the "friend-in-law" thing they added to it ^_^ They are the exact type of father-in-law's and fathers you'd want to be blessed with. Very loving, very respectable and they walk their talk.
Ha Yoon (the main kid) is still a novice at acting, I could tell especially in a few of his crying scenes but overall he did pretty good. ^^
I cried and laughed a lot during this drama - besides tons of other emotions felt towards other characters.
The main bad lady will drive you nuts with her terrible treatment and "using" of Eun Hee. A woman who refuses to admit her own fault and only sees the fault in others. One who is completely absorbed in her own blood line and uses that to treat others like dirt. She thinks only her family is worthy of being praised but others in her eyes are worth nothing. She's extremely selfish and all of her actions and words prove it. The secondary lead couple will make you hate them early on but sympathize with them in the latter half - it's so weird. One minute you hate them the next you feel for them.
It's really really good, by episode 46 I could not stop watching (luckily I had delayed watching this drama when it was airing from that point on so I could marathon the rest of it) :)
One slight disappointment was you could definitely tell they dropped 2 episodes off in the end :'( I wish they would have left it at 120 episodes instead of making it 118 :/ I could tell this cut by the end of episode 115 - they started to cut the end/beginning scenes and not continue it from there :/ I would have liked those to have been as well paced as the rest but even so it wasn't too bad of a rush - still would have been better to have those last 2 episodes though.
Music:
I would definitely re-watch this drama at some point if only for Gun Woo ^^
For daily drama lovers - this is a good one! I recommend it :)

The actors were beautiful and the music was good too, so the whole drama just felt like such a waste. wtf were the writers thinking, honestly. watch only if you have time to waste and want to look at beautiful people. because otherwise, it's really not worth it.

Commuting to School Series: On the Way to School

This review may contain spoilers
The second movie of the commuting to school series has some of the characters of the first movie in as side stories, but the main story is all fresh and cute. The romance, a classic shool romance between two young students about to become adults, is nicely blended with some growing up and coming of age problems and anxieties, but those do not steal it's thunder. The love story is cute and sweet, though it gets a little cheesy in the end. But still, if you want to feel those butterflies on you belly, this is the movie for you (fair warning, do not expect too original scenario and too much of this movie. It's just a good one to spent your afternoon...)Have to admit that I've watched this one first and then picked up the first one, so I was a bit confused about the relationships between the characters. So, word of advise, watch the first film first!! Plus, there are some spoilers on what will happen to the couple in the first movie, so this film will probably ruin it for you.
So, 6 out of 10.
