This one is the first without Jet Li and also Rosamund Kwan wasn't in this movie too which meant two good actors as those characters missing. I believe the producer or some sort didn't make this movie as well so they had some actors and writers changes. They still had some good actors from the previous movie reprise their role. I enjoyed some of the fight scenes in this movie but the plot was confusing to me. Theirs always the top bad guy either one or two in this movie it had two. They weren't really much of a threat until they finally fight Wong at the end. I always love the lion dance competition where all the amazing fight scenes happen. The two main leads just didn't have any chemistry together. Vincent Zhao is good at Kung Fu but he as Wong Fei Hung wasn't that fun to watch. The music is still good because they didnt change it and I love that music still. Acting was ok I guess. Of course I would rewatch the movie no matter what. In the end movie was a little disappointment to me.

Story 9/10
I enjoyed the fun plot of this whole drama. Most people would say that the story for this was all over the place, i didnt think so. I think it had the right amount of humor, romance, and suspense. I can understand why one might not like this. But I think the suspense and comedy balanced each other out perfectly in this.
Acting/Cast 10/10
The best part of this drama was the cast. Everyone was just so much fun. I loved that I didnt get bored with anyone's character. Everyone had a role. Lets start with Strong Woman Do Bong Soon herself, Park Bo Young. The role Bong Soon was made with her in mind. Her crying scenes might be annoying at parts but overall she was perfect! Park Hyung Shin as MinMin was the best. He was so adorable. His reactions were just wonderful. I loved how he accepted Bong Soon for who she was. Ji Soo, I dont even need to say much. He was a great second lead. Unfortunately I just didnt feel his chemistry with Park Bo Young, which was good. I wasnt a victim of the second lead syndrome in this one lol. Finally Jang Mi Kwan as the best villain ever. He gave me the chills every time he was on screen. I will be looking out for more of his work in the future.
Music 9/10
THe music was on point and really enhanced the watching experience. Great OST overall. My favorite is Super Power Girl just because it describes Bong Soon so well haha...
Rewatch Value 9/10
Why not? It is a lighthearted drama. If I am feeling down it is perfect...

Don't watch it. RUN AWAY! SAVE YOURSELF.
I'm repeating: DO. NOT. WATCH. IT.
Better re-watch cute S1 and smile, than go into this... mess. Writers ruined everything.
I hope you hear me. If you still want to watch it and ruin everything you've seen in S1... be my guest. I am just warning you~ ^_^

ACTING/CAST: Gun (Poonsawas Atthaphan) can seriously cry and it makes me cry. He's good at portraying anguish and sadness.
MUSIC: Standard.
REWATCH VALUE: I will watch it again because of Gun.
OVERALL: A nice program for the war against HIV/AIDS with a super cute actor.

That said, this show is primarily about real life. Real life adults in a real life world of celebrities, how it is to be an actor, or a manager, someone with a family and friends to take care of. If you're looking for the romance-driven doe-eyed actress fighting to be in love with the main male protagonist, this isn't for you. This show is for the rest of us who know what being an adult life is like and enjoy a show based on that.
The soundtrack was quality, I enjoyed most of it and it captured the scenes' emotions well.
The cast is PERFECT for the transition of the original HBO cast - Ari Gold (the actors' main manager) is a solid man, very passionate and fiery. The actor for ??? captured his essence perfectly, as did the equivalents for Vince, Turtle and Drama.
This is different from the majority of kdramas out there. And for that, I think ???? fills a very important niche.

And even though Lee Min Jung is really beautiful, she can act, she can cry, she is cute, but I am not convinced with her acting, she looked more of an easy, gullible lady for me in the series. She's nothing but a pretty face (sorry,that is how i felt)
And although Gong Yoo was handsome and all, I can not fall in love with his character as Kang Kyung-joon, how can he boast about his looks to GIl Da Ran while it was not his face in the first place.
I like him better as, Seo Yoon-jae, I mean, how can Gil Da Ran, just forget about him, who by the way was lying in the hospital inside a different body. A doctor who loves kids, a handsome doctor being chased by his fellow doctor but still managed to be faithful. Who was on his way to tell confess his feeling to you before he got into an accident, being in a comma after saving the guy, who happens to enjoy his handsome face and sexy body, only to find out that Gil Da Ran chose that Oh-Oh school boy??
I mean,,,what duh??? But again if you long to see Gong Yoo in his early 30s go ahead and watch this. You might like it, since some people do. , But,,, I really did not like the story. I still love Gong Yoo though! Handsome!

When I started with the first episode, the first thought I had was that the story was interesting, in a way that I wanted to know how the next part would unfold. I had the same feeling over the next few episodes but as it got around ep 13 and beyond, it felt like the story was going in circles. Personally I thought they were better off at making it a 16 ep drama rather than a 20 ep. If they did, the story wouldn't feel draggy and I wouldn't loose interest halfway through the series.
Be that as it may, the characters of the main leads were well played. I like how Kim Sae Ron acted her role as Yeon Hee. She had a strong hold of her character and she was consistent throughout the episodes. For someone so young to be able to do this makes me excited for her other dramas( hopefully she would also lead in it).
As for Yoon Shi Yoon, he was good but he lacks the aura of a main lead. He has it but there were some parts where I question him being the lead. He lacks that stance that male lead characters have. But even if I say that, he was still able to convey Heo Jun's inner turmoil well. As for the other characters, I can say that they, especially the characters of Hong Joo, Queen Shim and Choi Hyun Soo were exemplary actors. They played their roles really well, although Hyun Soo had some parts that were not written well (like the part where he constantly hides the truth from everyone making things complicated).
The music was awesome, I like the selection they made on this drama.
I wouldn't rewatch this drama.
Overall, it has an interesting plot that needed a little twerk, with excellent and good actors, complemented with the right cinematography and a smart selection of music to mirror the scenes in the drama.

I know a lot of people disliked Moorim School. I don't know why exactly, maybe it's because of the storyline? In order to like this plot, it's important you don't dislike Science Fiction, because yes, there's a lot of it in this kdrama. But personally I enjoy the genre and I think they did a good job on working it out. I feel like the plot is unique. Having one of those times you're just craving for some action? I'd recommend this drama.
Characters
I really liked most of the characters, especially Wang Chi Ang and Shi Woo. They can be really funny but create heartbreaking moments at the same time. I also enjoyed the relationships between the characters.
Acting
The acting in this drama was great, honestly. Hongbin did a really, really good job considering he's an idol and acting is not his profession. Hyun Woo did great as well. As for Ye Ji... Sometimes I have to see other kdrama's with one actor before I realize how good they really are. When I watched Hwarang, I noticed how her character had a completely different personality in both series, but she still pulled off both so well.
Music
Now you must think: Wow, what? Is the BG thát good, since I gave a 10 for it? Welll, this series isn't famous for its OST like Kill me, Heal me is. And I'll admit, maybe most of the BG isn't all that special. But to me VIXX' song 'Alive' is very special. It's my favourite song all time, which is quite a thing. The melody amazing, but the greatest thing about it are the lyrics. The lyrics is so motivating! Of course this opinion is quite personal but because of 'Alive' I think the music deserves 10/10.

This drama was my crack drama all the way through episode 14 when, for reasons I'm not even sure of anymore (maybe I was abducted by aliens and they messed with my brain? probably just because some of the side plots were draggy and frustrating though), I lost all interest and never finished the last two episodes. I finally went back and watched them this evening, and I can't lie. The obsession I had with this drama when it was airing has significantly cooled. I don't know if that's the drama's fault, time's fault, or my fault, but it is what it is.This is definitely, however, a crack drama with some mild makjang thrown in for good measure, and if you like crack dramas/light makjang, you will like Cinderella and the Four Knights. I don't know that the story holds up to intense scrutiny, and like I said, some of the side plots are draggy and frustrating, but...we're all drama druggie's here. And we'll put up with a lot to get our fix, am I right?
