This movie was awesome! The story was very interesting. It perfectly explains and builds up the motivation behind the assassination. The actors where really great. The bad guy is the personification is evil itself, no doubt about that. As for 13 assassins, each other them have a unique personality. The fighting scenes were well made and very intriguing. The ending might be a bit confusing if you watch the cut version for it left out some subtleties that give more explanation on a particular character. Hence, for the greater experience of the movie, try to watch the uncut version.

Overall, it was a pretty good movie and can definitely be rewatched!

This drama is simply heartbreaking. It's the story of Aya (based on a true story) who slowly develops a degenerative disease and her struggles to live as normal as possible despite her condition. It's a truly inspiring story that makes you appreciate the simple things we often take for granted. This drama will most definitely touch you and stay with you for some time.

The actors did a great job as you can definitely feel their pain and joys. The music is simply perfect; I really fell in love with the soundtrack and it suits the drama so well.

Overall, this drama is one not to miss for it's really a precious gem. Despite the fact that it might be hard to watch at times (reason why the re-watch score is low) it is worth it.

I really enjoyed watching this drama. A fun story with both laughter and pain.
I was really touched by how much Night loved her and believe in his emotions despite the fact that he is a robot. The actors played their role well and you get to feel for them too.
I don't really remember being impressed by the music but I'm sure it was appropriate for the drama.
This is a drama that could be re-watched as a whole. I've re-watched the beginning with a friend to get her into the drama. I personally have seen the last few episodes a few times already.
Overall, it's a drama that I highly recommend for people seeking romantic dramas.

Ok, to start off, I am a major fan of drama's like this. I could go on for days about how much I like them, but I won't. Try to make this short.

I recommend this drama highly if you are a fan of the genre. If your not, don't waste your time. This drama is a lot like the Japanese drama MR BRAIN, but its also very different in that it involves more police work. As I said, CSI met House, and had a baby, and this is it.

The story is a good one, or as I put, a very good one, some things were just to predictable, so it didn't get a higher score.

The actors, did an extraordinary job, they were very believable.

Music, I never even noticed if there was music, so very low score on that.

Rewatch, I probably won't rewatch, but may someday.

Overall, a very good drama, and an interesting thought process while watching it. Watch it!

This is a genuinely funny, must see, romantic comedy. I knew I would love this movie from the hilarious way that the two main characters first meet. Cha Tae Hyun, & Jun Ji Hyun, play each crazy moment so well, and I loved watching their odd relationship develop. The unpredictable (borderline abusive) behavior of the "sassy girl" is what drives the story, but watching Gyun Woo mature is equally entertaining. Most of the scenes are played for laughs, but there's also a good balance between their funny, and touching moments. I couldn't help but root for their bizarre relationship.

The story is smartly told from beginning to end. It's based on a (supposedly true) blog, so each scene is a highlight marking their time together. Focusing on the highlights helps to fit this pretty long story into a concise film, though some of the leaps in time felt a little too sudden. Though fated love is a familiar theme, this story doesn't take the predictable route. I especially loved the ending, which I never expected, because it tied the whole story together perfectly.

I agree that My Sassy Girl is a classic. An american remake exists, but it's barely worth mentioning. This is definitely the type of movie you can watch over, and over again. I saw this for the 1st time years ago, and it's still just as good rewatching it now. I definitely recommend putting it high up on your Plan to Watch list.

I thought the final was absolutely amazing. The acting was great, of course, and the characters fit together like they did in the drama. The final could have been made into a drama itself. I really loved the storyline of the final, and am really sad that it had to end. The final has some adventure in it which makes you want to keep watching to see what happens next. The ending was the best though. Being a huge fan of Hana Yori Dango, I was so sad to see it end, but seeing the way the final ends, although it is sad, was the perfect ending to one of my favorite dramas of all times. I just wish that the plot of the final was a little bit more clear. I kind of felt that the writers tried to pack so much into the final that it should have been a drama, but I know some people might get tired of the drama continuing on. There was so much fit into the small amount of time that the ending seemed a bit too rushed, and I don't think the time needed in certain scenes was there, but besides that, the final was amazing. It has definitely become one of my favorite endings to a drama, and if you're a Hana Yori Dango fan you won't be disappointed watching the final, because it's worth it.

The story is fresh and interesting, enough to say it's a drama I have yet to see anywhere else. The characters are lovable especially the idiotic and naive (and really beautiful) Serina and the comedic Jinnai. It was a drama that kept me wanting to know more about the characters, and it was granted as the drama portrayed even the stories of supporting characters. Every 45-minute episode is worth watching because it is not easy to guess what will happen next, unlike in other dramas. I also believe it doesn't fit the detective/mystery genre, since the story focused on the transformation of Serina to a strong and beautiful woman (as what the introduction in every episode says). This is a heartwarming drama, at times heartbreaking, which will keep you loving it until the last scene.

With an original plot like that, this drama could have gone so many places... except it didn't. It quickly degraded to being just cliches and everyone falling for Eita. By the end I was wondering why the hell I was still watching it. It becomes at least retarded after a certain point, and all it has left in my memory is that it was probably the worst drama I have ever seen. And I am a huge JJ fan. And a huge Ueno Juri fan. I practically adore everyone on this cast. Still.
I get angry every time I hear that it's similar to Last friends... That was a great drama. It went all sorts of places, and probed at all sorts of issues. This... everything felt like a cheap attempt at probing issues and problems of today's society. It could have been really good if it kept on in that direction, actually digging deep, actually saying something. I am surprised that so many people liked it "because it was soooo deep and meaningful", even though it was so incredibly shallow. Not even a scratch.

I can't give the acting more than 6, although they were fine, just that the scenario was so badly written, it's impossible to bother with whether they say it with the right expression, when it feels like a bad joke in any case.
