I really loved Goong. The plot was very Cinderella like, but it wasn't too typical of a romance. The plot was different, and the acting was great. The characters were all three-dimensional, meaning they had a mix of traits and weren't your typical, frail, weak female lead and strong, yet somewhat pms-ey male lead.

There were some parts where the plot got a bit strange, but overall, it was really good, and you ended up sympathizing with the "bad guys" rather than hating them.

Before I write my review, I have to say something about the plot. I love the plot to bits, it's the kind of love story that appeals to me. That being said, I would have wished they would have put it in a drama instead of a movie. It seemed a little rushed at times, and some scenes were (obviously) cut out, so at times you had to guess what actually happened. Luckily it wasn't too hard to guess.



This movie is just great. The actors are really good and make the story believable. I love Young Won's younger brother. He is silly yet protective and just plain awesome. I was really surprised to see Jang Geun Suk doing such a good job in this. Don't get me wrong, he's a great actor, but his performance in Mary Stayed Out All Night as a rocker had me doubting what this movie would be like. Two roles that seemed too similar, so I was afraid I wouldn't see any variation. (Just so that people don't think I'm stupid - I know this was made before Mary, but I watched Mary first.) My worries were groundless - To think that two rocker roles can be that different is unexpected, yet he pulls it off. That being said, I'd like to get a better explanation to what happened between Young Won and Hee Won in the past. This is the reason I give it an 8 and not a 9 or 10.



All in all, it was a great movie. I truly enjoyed it, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Indigo no Yoru is my all time favorite drama <3

Most people are unfamiliar with the type of drama. It's a midday drama, so it's targeted towards housewives and stay-at-home-moms. It's a drama that touches on a variety of themes such as marriage, family-life, homosexuality, etc. Not only is it a moving drama, but it is also funny and entertaining. The best part is the cast though. Moriguchi Yoko is a powerful actress who leads the rest of the cast. Along with Kato Kazuki, who as usual is his sexy self. Then there are a variety of fun actors like Takagi Shinpei and Takagi Manpei, Mayame Akihiro, Amano Kosei, Wada Masato, and Kaji Masaki. This is a drama that I would recommend to anyone who is looking for something different and fun, but with lots of plot twists and a detective-style feel. Oh, and bonus, it takes place at a host club. How much better can it get?

I started watching this drama just because I had heard so much about its fantastic soundtrack. I did end up liking the music, but the drama itself was sub-par for me. The characters weren't that amusing. I found that the female lead character irked me, mostly because she was very passive throughout. The acting was alright, I just wasn't feeling it. Good music though.

I thought that I would really like this drama, because it had this super girly, rom-com type feel to it at first, slightly reminiscent of Boys Over Flowers, with the two new hot guys instantly gaining popularity at school, however, I found that the plot was unsatisfying, and the dialouge and acting were a bit overdone, and over dramatic. It was quite obnoxious. The female lead can't make up her mind between two guys, and then she goes after one, then changes her mind over and over. Her fickleness was probably what started the flame in the burning runaway bus that I call this drama.

How do i go about describing this movie. Well the first reason why i started watching it was because it was about soccer and unfortunately there aren't many soccer movies or dramas out there. What i got in return was a package deal. This movie has both drama and soccer in it. Now the story isn't the best but it did make me laugh, and it did make me cry. The cast was pretty good(and hey, it has a bunch of East Timorian kids in it!). The music wasn't anything special, but it served it's purpose. As for rewatch value, not much in my opinion. Overall though, this is a decent soccer and drama flick that'll make you laugh and cry at points of the movie.

So, this beautiful story will take you into the world of hearing impaired people. And its amazing!

The best thing about the movie is, that its not over dramatic, or too sad, depressing and so. The story is actually very simple, cute and optimistic - just a little untraditional love story about two young people who just met each other :)

There is not much speaking in the movie, they mostly use the sign language. Thats why someone could say that it will be boring, but thats absolutely not true. The way they use sign language is so interesting, that it catches your eyes and make it more interesting.

If you are looking for a movie, that is positive, nice and optimistic, this is for you. It a good way to spend your time whenever you are depressed :)

(sorry for my english)

This movie tells the story as old as all humankind and at the same time as fresh to every person who falls in love. This story is about first love. We all know that sometimes it can be disappointing, sometimes unforgettable, sometimes like a breeze - just passing by leaving warm feeling. Here we can see a bittersweet story of first love which is not shown as fairy tale (happily living together till death do us part) but how it happens usually in real modern life. It shows how relationship develops and the way men's and women's minds are set up. I recommend to watch it when you are in the mood of watching something which will live a nice warm feeling but without any critical points.

this is actually my number one favorite taiwanese drama <3

it is just completely awesome and just perfect.

the cast is rele good with jiro wang as the lead again after ko one.

this is a drama filled with magic-wuxia action scenes.

it also has awesome music with the cast singing the theme songs and with music playing its own part in the show itself.

its a great drama that isnt just about fighting using special powers but also about family and love.

its the type of drama that while moving and also action-packed, has ALOT of comedic crack moments, such as a variety of comic-relief characters.

this IS my favorite tdrama, and i recommend it to anyone looking for a laugh or alot of attractive actors~

this honestly one of my all time favorite t-dramas <3

if you like the kind of yankee, delinquent fight dramas and you also like comedy, this is the drama for you.

its rele rele rele funny and also has lots of cool action and effects.

fahrenheit/feilunhai being the leads is a total bonus too.

jiro wang dong cheng definitely shows an interesting side of himself here.

with a lot of friendship values as well as a hint of romance, and ALOT of wuxia/magic/kick-buttness, this is just an awesome drama.

i highly recommend it to anyone with a taste for wuxia, comedy, and feilunhai~

for me, it was a total KO.

This drama was really good. The plot was excellent and it kept you constantly on your toes. Each episode had its own surprise, so what you anticipated would be the outcome, would really just be the beginning (I know that's vague, but once you watch it, you'll understand). Anywhoo...if you're looking for a mind game type of drama, with suspense, that's still pretty funny, I suggest you watch this. The acting is slightly overdone, but it works with the theme. Its definitely worth the watch.

I was expecting a bit more from this drama than I got. The plot was going well, so I figured, I could bear the fact that it was so poorly dubbed (Dennis Oh was clearly speaking in English, and it was dubbed in Mandarin), but as the story progressed, the situations got more melodramatic, and obnoxious. And there was a weird part where the evil person suddenly decided to become nice, with no transition whatsoever.

I would NOT recommend this one.

The plot for this drama is slightly different, spanning a VERY long time. It begins with the leads in college and then moves on to their lives afterward. The acting is phenomenal, not the two leads exactly (with Van Ness Wu struggling with his Mandarin) but the supporting roles were executed perfectly. The majority of the characters are loveable, and they are all three-dimensional, they have their evil sides and good sides, including the typical evil-mother character, flawlessly portrayed by Linda Liu.

The story is touching, and though the plot drags on a bit, its definitely a good watch.

And it helps that Van Ness Wu has a smoking hot body!

The plot is typical, a rich, spoiled brat of a guy who changes once he meets a girl who is poor and at some other disadvantage. The portrayal of this typical plot however, was definitely quite the opposite. The actors brought a lot of emotion to their roles, and their characters were very believable. The chemistry of the leads was amazing.

The side stories however, didn't really develop much and they left the viewer at a bit of a loss, but if you are looking for a good cry, definitely watch this beautiful, but tragic story.
