Reviews

I've had great expectations in this live-action, especially since I read manga and saw the anime. So overall I this disappointed me a bit.

The story goes on very quickly and some important parts are not really shown, especially in the life of Arima Kosei, her relationship with the mother who here is only a light spot, while in the manga she has much influence in the recent life of Arima. Kaori had much more influence on Arima's life in the presente, much more than is shown here, just like the other contestants in piano competitions.

However an excellent point will be the song, which is the main basis of the whole movie and that really was emotional, especially when they play along. And the one at the end managed to wring away my tears.

Good acting from all of them, Yamazaki Kento was good on this too * I think he can do everything* Was good to see him in a different role.

Summarizing: I think if you dind't see the anime or have read the manga will enjoy live-action, if you do I think you will feel that are missing important parts.

I love it! The character of the main lead and how much he trusted the female lead despite all the secrets she hid from him makes me love him. He might seem cold-hearted but he is really affectionate to the ones he loves.

I loved how the female lead decided to stay loyal to him, the male lead saw the good side of the female lead and fell in love. I loved everything about this drama but I do not want to spoil it.

I never usually write reviews even though I watch lots of dramas, but I really wanted to recommend this drama. This is one of the dramas where I want to watch it again.

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon introduces a character trope rarely seen in the Korean dramasphere, one of a strong woman (as it says in the title) who isn't necessarily harsh and cold-hearted, but rather quirky, compassionate, and courageous. I was immediately reeled in by this aspect of the drama. The show includes the genres of supernatural, action, thriller, and from time to time comedy (the cheesy and slap-stick kind). But the investigation ('frontal' episodes) and romance (latter episodes of the drama) elements are the most prominent. The pacing of Strong Woman had me hooked when I initially watched the show, but I kind of drifted away towards the end of the series; the main plots had finished much earlier than I expected, so I felt that the resolution dragged on more than it needed to (the drama could've been condensed to 13 or 14 episodes). Nevertheless, the well-rounded cast, especially the chemistry seen between Do Bong Soon and Ahn Min Hyuk (and the actors who play them). I was also a fan of the soundtrack and score of Strong Woman; they mostly reflected the romantic components of the show. My favorite song was the main theme song, Super Power Girl; rather than a romantic ballad, it's an upbeat alternative/rock song that definitely matched the quirky personality of protagonist, Do Bong Soon. Overall, I would recommend Strong Woman Do Bong Soon to those who typically like romantic/investigative K-dramas but would like to spice up their tastes with a unconventionally supernatural twist.

I love this drama!! It was so much fun to watch. I started with 5 episodes for 1 night and rest 11 episodes the next day. Made me happy all throughout! Gong Yoo was so adorable the whole time! I was hesitant to watch this at first because it would not appear on the best kdrama lists I've seen, I watched it because I want to see Gong Yoo at a young age. This is underrated drama, I like full house,only you and coffee prince, but surprisingly I enjoyed watching this Biscuit Teacher Best! It gives me that feeling of being in love and loved by the man of my dreams :) Brings back good school memories. And ooh I love watching Gong Yoo!!!

The movie is good, and it made me cry a lot specially during the last episode but this is really not a review I'm going to give, but a realization I had after watching the series again.


At the end of the day I am happy, thankful even, that I watched Zettai Kareshi again. It reminded me of a few things I've almost forgotten.

Everybody deserves to be loved unconditionally. It doesn't matter how "ugly" you look while sleeping with your mouth open, or if you snore loudly, or if you're moody, clumsy, clingy, fat, thin, or even if you have an ugly scar, or even if you had a child while you'e unwed -- always remember that somewhere out there your very own Night Tenjo is waiting just for you.

Everybody wants, no -- needs, to be loved unconditionally, the same way Night loved Riko. There will be somebody out there who will be willing to love you flaws and all. Believe that there is someone somewhere in this world who was made just for you, who will be happy just seeing you happy, who will cry with you, who will hug you even if you're mad at him/her, who will love you just how you deserve to be loved.

I started this drama for James ..he is cute
This drama has good flow to it ...no dragging...though there is an evil character like any other Thai drama nothing over the top and surprisingly not really irritating..which is quite a fresh change
Everything is justified..and all characters got what they deserved by the end

I would definitely recommend this drama..
Both leads did well and looked pretty ..supporting characters r very good too ..esp the ones around the evil lady working as her assistants deserve an applause by the end

it's all about how female lead becomes better person with help of male lead !!
Oh btw the theme song for this drama is really good ????

Story: If you are into a lighthearted novel with glint of romance, but without totally focusing on it, this is the show for you. If, like me, you were expecting this romantic story with a breathtaking ending, maybe you should try "You're Beautiful" instead.

Acting: Nothing to complain here. I found that the actors managed their roles well and portrayed realistic characters.

Rewatch Value: I wouldn't rewatch this, mainly because I felt the ending felt rushed and didn't provide good enough closure to the story.

Overall: It's something good to pass a Sunday afternoon, but don't expect much.

STORY
I'm not into a "family" genre but the story is just simply addicting. In the first few episodes, I admit I got totally bored since it focused greatly on the family and the challenges they encountered. But with the grownups now acting, it has gained my attention. I'm warning those who are planning on watching this tho, the antagonist is super annoying, just pure evil. The romance side will totally pull you up tho!
Furthermore, rating it 8.5 as I noticed some inconsistencies in the drama but not great of difference in the story. But what's great about this is you get to see that you reap what you sow, you'd finally enjoy the scenes with the antagonist. There's definitely something to learn on this whole drama.

ACTING/CAST
I find one of the actors (the antagonist's mom) not up to par with other actors' acting skills. Regardless, I would totally give this a ten! Notably, the kid who played Le Tong is really commendable. Her cuteness aside, she really has potential in comparison to other child actors. The rest, they played their role real good. You'll definitely feel their emotions, the love, the heartbreaks and the hatred. The leads especially, the antagonist will really make you hate her while the protagonists, they had chemistry and you'd totally follow their love story. Just great casting!

MUSIC
I liked their OST's that I even downloaded them to learn their lyrics.
Its OST is basically composed of sweet musics.

REWATCH
Maybe not. I doubt I would play it all over again, lol. With that large amount of episodes, NOPE. Besides, rewatching it would just make me see the antagonist again, tsk tsk NO.

I just freaking loved this!!!! Can't wait for the second season too!!!!!
This is for sure the best drama series i have watched so far and let me tell i have watched a lot! The story is really freaking great and the actors are amazing too!!! The acting itself is really good cause when there are more romantic scenes they look really real and u wouldn't guess they are scripted! And since both of the main actors are really good friends it makes it even more special cause in some scenes u can see that they are showing some true emotions as well and they are rally comfortable around each other! I have already rematched the whole season 3 times and i would even with it few more times!!!

I also really liked all the supporting cast cause they really suited their roles and i felt like I'm just watching my school mates from the side! The supporting cast made the whole story even better cause they had their own situations that u can think about and make some new ships as well! XD

Over all i would recommend this for sure for somebody who is searching for some alternative love story that is not cliche and isn't very predictable as well!

I would give this 11/10 for sure and i hope that the next season will be as good if not better!!!

I personally didn't love Shopping King Louis. It's not the actors, they did what they could (though Seo In Guk could've been a bit less daft towards the end). The story was bad.
I simply couldn't, and still cannot, comprehend how someone would take 7 episodes to learn that money is a valuable thing if you have little of it. Even though his spending habits were enormous, Louis should've picked up by the second scolding that he spent too much. He never did though.
Ko Bok Sil doesn't learn anything either. She finally seems to have trained Louis into not spending cash and she goes out to get a credit card.
I also cannot comprehend how the writer would think it was not obvious to name Louis dog Koboshi and only in the last episode reveal that he named the dog after a girl he got a gift from; Ko Bok Sil. Even Bok Sil herself thought he called her when he called the dog, so why didn't any of the intelligent adults pick up on this? Why didn't Louis?
Last thing I couldn't get: why all the broken lovelines? Sure, Louis and Bok Sil end up together, same goes for Mr. Kim and Ms. Heo. But Joong Won ends up chasing someone else (we have no idea what kind of feelings she has for him, if any), Ma Ri ends up chasing someone who's not interested and the same goes for In Sung.
All in all I don't think this K-Drama deserves the 8.4 it got here, I'm rating it 6.0/10.
