Reviews

1% of Anything is a typical Korean family drama. It's a drama that explores Korean family interactions with a lot of laughter and love.



PROS:

The plot was simple enough maybe even a bit predictable, but the interactions between Jae In (Kang Dong Wan) and Dada (Kim Jung Hwa) were pretty fun to watch. Jae In was really well portrayed by Kim Dong Wan and he was pretty funny to watch, as his character really stood out in terms of personality. Grandpa was another plus to the drama, in terms of acting.



CONS:

Dada seemed to have a limited range of facial expressions, which slightly annoyed me.

Towards the end of the drama, there was more focus on the side characters, instead of the main couple, which made for some predictable and dull watching.

The OST for this drama was not very memorable at all.





Overall, 1% of Anything is a decent Korean family drama with laughs and love.

The aptest adjective to describe this drama, in my opinion, is "surprising".



The plot is a surprise because it never goes in the direction one expected it to. Don't be fooled by an apparently superficial beginning: nothing in Stand Up!! is what it seems.



The cast is a surprise, because despite the very young age of the main leads, the acting is brilliant and gives the viewer a glimpse to the type of actors those young people would become.



The script is a surprise, as it deals with ordinary occurrences, teens fixations and the relationship between teens and adults in a sweet, mostly hilarious way.



You'll find yourself laughing out loud, giggling and, at times, remembering with a smile.

JIN has many genres wrapped in a single package. The show has its viewers exploring the history of the Edo period. It also manages to keep the viewers anticipated with its combination of suspense and mystery. All with a hint of romance. However, its primary focus is medicine at the end of the day. The cast is a truly remarkable bunch giving his or her character a realistic feature which enables viewers to connect with the characters. We get a glimpse into each character's stories, struggles, and ongoing hardships. The show's plot is a rather simple one, but its simplicity adds to the show's depth. It explores various themes including the meaning of life, how much we are willing to sacrifice for others, and most important, the limits we have. The plot is immersing as the viewer accompanies Jin in the past and watch as he assist those in need of medical attention. However, with such a great plot, the show has a letdown at the end, but thank goodness that TBS is having JIN 2! I'm crossing my fingers that this time the screenwriter will be able to answer all the question Jin and the audience has! I recommend this show to those who enjoy any of the genres that JIN explores and if you are a fan of the actors! It's definitely worth the watch!

One of the most amazing and wonderful korean dramas that i have ever watched. Its sweet, cute, brilliantly written with hardly any flaws.



The acting is superb, music is exceptional and it provides everything you are looking in a romantic comedy. There is nothing that i would like to be improved. Its just perfect



This drama alone has turned alot of people, who previously used to look down on me for being an ardent K-drama fan, into K-drama fanatics themselves, after watching this on my insistent recommendation. I myself have watched the drama 3 times and each time i have enjoyed more than before.



Highly recommended!!!

When I was a kid I loved the disney version. Someone told me later that the ending of the real story was sugar coated and didn't end well like in the cartoon. I hated that idea. So I hesitated a long time with watching this movie. I also dont like war/historical movies. But yesterday I just watched it anyway - and I LOVED IT. I cried like a baby, but loved every bit of it. ^_^

The acting is great. First I thought that the main character is way too pretty to be accepted as a man. But she nailed it. Also the main male character did a good job. Both work great together, the character came to life and you could feel how they progressed, came closer, to a very sad, but perfect ending.

( I hope this isnt a spoiler, but I believe everybody is

familiar with the basic storyline of Mulan.)

The storyline is told in a way, that you accept the ending without a doubt in your mind. Beautiful. Which is actually a first for me. At least with sad movies (I hated Titanic)

Well, like I said, this movie is sad, not very comical, but beautiful.

If you're up to it you should def. watch it!

This drama is great. Go and watch it.



That's pretty much all you need to know

(But that would be a lame ass review ^.^)



I read about this drama and how fast it won on popularity.

And I just wondered how could a 30 episode-story about bread-making be interesting?

But I started it anyway. Even though the first couple episodes are set in the past

and were meant for information build-up,

I think those were needed to give depth to the following episodes.

This drama made me laugh. cry. angry, then laugh again and most of all: It kept me interested. Love and intrigues. The story moves along and progresses constantly. The actors are all very good (AND very good-looking.) ^.^

You can feel the struggle the characters have in the story and feel with them.

Also the music was good.

I even caught myself humming the tunes to it at work.

(Unfortunately I dont understand/speak korean. YET ^_^) haha.

Hoped that helped, and you are now convinced to go and watch it.

After watching Dal Ja's Spring I loved Chae Rim. I watched this because of her and while it is very cute and I liked it fine, I just did not feel the chemistry between the two leads.

I could not understand at first why I was watching and felt something missing. Another review I read said they never seemed more than good friends 'chemistry wise' and that was my Ah Ha! moment.

This is a very cute story. There are some great moments and the male lead's character growth makes this drama for me. But I am giving this an 8 for story and 6 overall because I just could not love it completely.

There is not stand out soundtrack here for me. The music was just fair.

I probably won't watch this again but it was cute so I am giving the re-watch a 6.

If you really want to see a great drama that stars Chae Rim...Again, watch Dal Ja's Spring. It co-stars Lee Min Ki and it is fantastic!

This drama was my first K-drama so chances are high that the reason why i love it so much is because of that reason. However, i'll still try to be as unbiased as possible.



I found the story to be quite enchanting, so much so that I finished the show in 2 days.



I loved the Cast and the Acting in this drama. I fell in love with Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong Wook in this drama. I also loved Lee Jun Ki in it. So I'm giving the Acting a definite 10.



The music was amazing but it wasn't THE best. I'm giving the music a 9.



As for rewatch value, an absolute 10. I've been able to rewatch this drama several times...and im a person who rarely rewatches things!



Overall, i'm giving this drama a 10, since i find it an absolute must watch.
