Love Rain is the BEST DRAMA OF ALL TIME!!
The drama is unique and different from other korean dramas…..The Beautiful drama is full of sorrow and laughter at the same time. It is soo addictive that i watched the latest episodes without English Subs and i still did not miss a single episode even though i had tests!!
People say that it is predictable but say that only when you have been attentively watching it because the Love Rain fans were going crazy whether the main casts were going to be together or whether the actress would die since the writer of the drama usually have a sad ending in all his dramas.So it wasnt predictive AT ALL! I am going to miss the drama and the amazing actors who did their utmost performannce. I am sure that the casts and director would win many awards!!

Well, this one's new. Let's play a simulation game of how to manage a farm. Choose your player. In this game you'll learn the basics of how to milk a cow, give food to animals and even be a veterinarian. Yay! You thought Tamagochi was fun?! Wait till you play this one. :)) And no..I'm not promoting any game or something like that, I was being a little sarcastic about the series. Sarcasm never hurt, right?!

Now..on with the review.

Whoever said that Toda Erica was a good actress must watch this series . :)) No, really now, watch it. You'll learn many useful things(or maybe not). And I actually thought she was decent in Liar Game and Code Blue.

Even from the beginning I couldn't take the series seriously. You have a bunch of guys with different characters sent together on the road to maturity. They'll learn all about responsibility, friendship and love. Oh, how fun. Too bad that there are so many series about the same subject. Wait, I don't remember any as a step by step guide to farming so I'll give points to that.

I don't have much things to say about the series. As I told you before, the story is about growing up psychologically speaking. The cast is doing it's best but it's formed mainly from second lead actors and it doesn't capture the interest. The music..one song Green Days by Makihara Noriyuki was nice. Just nice. Were there others songs ? Can't really remember.

Would I rewatch this ? Definitively..not! Even for rainy days I can find better series.

I really liked this drama. I'd just watched Micky in Sungkyunkwan Scandal and then I watched this drama.
It has a lot of the elements of a normal Korean drama, which i've grown to love. I like the mix of scenes of Joseon Korean and Modern Korea. I loved the heroin and the main guy. I didn't tire of either of their personalities. I also liked that their personalities were consistent. I find a lot dramas in which the person after the romance is a complete 360 from the character's personality before they fell in love. This was not the case in Rooftop Prince.

This drama was absolutely hilarious. Definitely one of the funniest dramas I've ever seen. Especially in the beginning of the drama.

The ending of a drama usually gives a final impression, and oftentimes makes or breaks my opinion of a drama. I'd say it accounts for 1/4 of my overall opinion for a drama. The ending of this drama, I think, really added to the drama. It was, in my opinion, original and refreshing. Although, I haven't decided if I like the ending, per say, but It was memorable. I still think about it, because I feel that the ending was very interesting.

Finally, the music in this drama was also really memorable. When I heard the song "Hurt" by Ali I was like, "Woah, her voice is amazing." I don't know what it is but I'm really drawn to her voice. And I usually like men's singing. There were other really good songs too. It is one of the few OSTs that I've ever downloaded.

this was boring. I couldn't even get through half of it. The main problems are the weak premise and setup, and the *annoying* lead character. She's overacting the WHOLE time: constantly flipping her hair around, flailing her arms..nobody acts like that in their daily life...and she is constantly whining while exhibiting this overdone quirky behavior. Its unnatural, annoying, and doesn't help to endear you to her or her humanity as a character at all. The director should've told her to tone down the quirkiness so that her emotions and feelings could be discerned amidst all of her excessively *spastic mannerisms*. You'll see what I mean when you watch the first episode. If it were cute or funny, it wouldn't be a problem but it is too extra and unnatural so it stands out in a bad way. The main character nor this show are funny or interesting enough to make up for the strained writing and acting.

From what I seen so far, this drama is just so good. The writing, acting and the thought put into this drama is just pure genius.

If you´re a person who loves crime, horror, mystery, detective, cyberspace, and slice of real life dramas then this is for you! Ghost is a mix of every elements that a mystery lover will come to love. Daniel Choi, So Ji Sub and Eom Ki Joon´s acting are all top notch. The writing is so good and the twist in this drama will get your mind blowed in awe, so be prepared. Everyone should give this drama a try, I believe you won´t be disappointed :)

Also for everyone who came to love the japanese drama Bloody Monday, try watching this drama. The hacking, the internet-world and the cybertheme will probably draw you in cause we all can relate to it because in this day we all surronded by cybertechnology, smartphones, internet, laptop, socialnetworks and so on.

I picked this drama the other day when I was bored, and I didn't regret it. It was fun and entertaining for quite a while, and the chemistry, or rather, the connection between the main leads was the most realistic I've seen so far...in this type of a drama, that is. There's much of humour and yet serious business mixed in, and each episode keeps you glued to the screen. However, I must say that near the end it got a bit repetitive, but since it is a 'slice of life' type of a tale, I guess that's forgiven. Cast was lovable, cheeky, story itself sometimes annoying, but all in all, it's a good drama. I'm not sure if I'd watch it again, but I've enjoyed it.

A sweet tale of a reminding love despite lost memories; Though mind forgets, the heart eventually remembers :)

Story: What I liked about the plot was the strong adherence of romance in the story. The romance was enticing, sweet and pure that I, too fell in love with the couple. The story offers a not-so original premise of time-travelling genre but undeniably there was an interesting twist on it. In my opinion, there's a little comedy on it and it mainly come from the male lead while he was adapting to the modern world, some from the manager of Choi Hee Jin and Kim Boong Do's assistant in the Joseon era, so if you're expecting hilarious scenes here, it's light but barely evident. There was a main plot to follow and because the male lead was smart, the wise tactics he made was quite fascinating and fun to watch. The opposites attract indeed., he's smart, she's not dumb but rather lacked knowledge., (that's according to him, how sweet!),still they come from different eras with different manners and belief that made a great deal on their chemistry. The ending was happy and passionate. Haha.

Acting /Cast: For the chemistry of the couple, hands down, its amazing, one would really thought it was for real ( I'm happy it is, btw). For Ji Hyun Woo, he looked genuine portraying smart scholar In Joseon era and innocent gal in the modern era. As for Yoo in Nah, her acting was good for someone who played main role for the first time. The supporting casts I admit lacks depth on their portrayals except for the King and Yoon Wol, in my opinion. In general, the acting wasn't that perfect, but watchable.

Music: The OST was sweet and pure, a perfect song for the couple's romantic moments.

Rewatch Value: I'm not fond of rewatching, but this is good if you want to rewatch the enchanting moments and great kissing scenes.

Overall: A delightful watch if you want something romantic-- in the very sense of that word; enveloped with a time-travelling twist :)

One of the best fantasy romance I've ever watch.. DEFINITELY.. I started watched this back then when one of my friend recommend this drama to me.. I don't even know who the casts was, I was just bored at the time and decide to watch anything. BUT, I ended up hooked up..

Story: the time travelling theme is not so original actually.. there's plenty of dramas with this theme. I haven't watched Rooftop Prince, but some people seems to compared these two (and from the synopsis that I read, I think it's kinda similiar).. But the flow of QIHM's story, it really carried me out.. I didn't see anything was dragged (except maybe for the last 2 episodes).. Everything was on the right line.. The story was more likely romantic than comedic (which I loved)..

Acting/Cast: DEFINITELY, drama with the best chemistry within the main lead.. Yoo In Na & Ji Hyun Woo are reaaaaallllyyyy good.. Their chemistry was naturally built, and when I read that they dated for real, I am reaaalllyyy happy.. I think most of you agree, that they looks really good together.. The supporting casts are perfect.. They added plenty of comedy here and there (especially the 2012 line).. LOL..

Music: They didn't released much soundtrack, but all of them are pretty good, especially for building the atmosphere..

Rewatch Value: I usually didn't rewatch my drama, but I think I would-some day in the future-rewatch this again.. And much of you maybe would rewatch this :)

Overall, again, this is one of the best romantic fantasy I've ever watched.. I adore especially the chemistry between the lead.. Their romance also pleasant to watch and makes me goes "Awww...".. One of the best romance of the year :)

..what can i say about it? this comedy drama made me such a cry-baby! you know the feeling when tears just kept on streaming down your face, you have to wipe them away in order to catch up with it's english subtitle... HAHA, i don't even understand how was that... i fact, sassy girl chun hyang has more heartbreaking scenes, but Househusband in it's simplest could tear a jerk out of you and i really mean it. Maybe it's the background song, or it's just that the actors are so effective.

I like this drama, our DVD copy is for keeps!

Addictive- yes, that was watching Sungkyunkwan for me at FIRST sitting. Imagine, I've finished 8 episodes (that was about 8 hours and so) straight! I had my sleep at early 3 in the morning, and again, another night-wrecking the next day (it has 20 episodes in lenght).

The quartet really got the charm to hook you up!

Lee seon joon? (played by Park Mickey Yoochun: JYJ member) smart and disciplined student who was the center of envy of the school president, who found himself fall for another man...Will he stick to his principles? Or will he disclaim principles for love?

Gu Yung Ha? (played by Song Joong Ki) gay or just too GAY(sweet and touchy)... He cherish his best friend Jae Shin so much! He was smart and tacky, and so cool that he was the charm of the this TV series.

Moon Jae Shin? (played by Yu Ah-In) tough rebellous guy with the bare chest flung on screen, :p he was so damn rugged cutie who has pure luck beside him (everytime he terrorizes at night).

Kim Hyun Shik? (played by Park Min Young) the main lead who used his brother's name and pretended to be a boy, due to untended events, she pursued pretending inside sungkyunkwan university that led to that so called 'SUNGKYUNKWAN SCANDAL' with Jae Shin.

I really like Song Joong Ki here, he was oozing with charm and cuteness while Yu Ah-In's smile melts my bone! ayieeeh!

It really had a good start but the end is a disappointment! I am not satisfied with the smooth take of the events on the last episodes. Though it gave cues to what happen to the quartet, it didn't gave anything about how the student president end up with along with the other characters (hmmm.. I guess the episode which he save the gaeseng suggests that he ends up with her..oh well!). I believe many will agree with me about this.

Another thing, the story run so smoothly to the protagonists, nothing heart breaking at all (well, if it really should be lively, we can do nothing about it), the rush in every episodes and the uncomprehensible (i can't understand it!) ending.

Wew!

The royal Princess Ja Myung Go,an epic drama in korea, is not just a legend.. it is true story of how love blinded the crown princess of Nakrang La Hee and betrayed her own country for Gugeoryo's crown prince Hodong, she sold her country for love. In the koreanovela, they added the fictional character princess Ja Myung, the half sister of La Hee, who in the drama made as the girl who Ho Dong really loves. In fairness to Ho Dong, even though he is so hateful in the story for using La Hee in revenge for Ja Myung's turning back in their love, thus, wanting to get her country Nakrang, have suffered emotionally... having to be the one to kill Ja Myung's father and can't do something to save his wife La Hee from death, i believe that in spite of the truth that Ja Myung is the one he love, he must have in return cherished La Hee.. how painful it is for having no strength to move on.

Ja Myung loved nobody else but Ho Dong, like what she said, he weighs heavy in the scale of her heart, but she chose her people (it's like rather frightening to have one person powerful in your heart).. onthe other hand, he weighs lighter in the scale of La Hee's heart, yet she chose him coz it's the truth, a simple little truth that holds her happiness, so why ignore it?... Oh, how can love built one's hope and dreams yet ruins one's life at the same time,,, there was no happy ending at all, but if dying together (Ja Mung and Ho Dong) with one sword struck between them, for that last embrace, is the happy ending, and so be it.

I hated Ho Dong, but pitied him as well.. in any case, will the ending of the story change if Ja Myung stayed as Puku with Ho Dong, if La Hee didn't loved him so much or Ho Dong only lead an ordinarylife.

''does love needs to be greater than desires?
or desires' much greater than love?...''

''will you fight for your love or choose what is more good for the many?''

In the end, there's only one choice to make... and last chance to be with the same feelings again... until death. I suppose it's a story about fighting and letting go of those feelings, in different consequences... but theirs led to their own destruction.

I have to agree that the ending have disappointed some of it's viewers, especially knowing that the planned episodes were cut due to low ratings and they have to make the story short and the ending revised as usual, yet i can say that they won to make it all heartbreaking.

I think that it has a much better story than QSD, unlike the latter which revolves around the main character.. i liked it how JMG made a bird's eyeview of everything, everyone has it's own story to tell.

Not to mention it's OST's Love Is Not A Crime and By Myself.. Oh so lovely songs, so pensive indeed.

Although I was disappointed that Detective Kang isn't going to be the main detective in this season, the replacement character makes a good rival or someone for Han Jin Woo. Also, I'm sad to see that they yet again changed most of the supporting characters that I liked and since I've only watched the first episode, I can't really say if they are good or not. Overall, I think that it was well done and would definitely recommend this season to those who watched the first two.

First off I have to say that I wasn't all disappointed with the ending like everyone seems to be. Sure, it was vague, but not so much that it needs a second season or anything. I kinda liked the ending.

I rather liked City Hunter. The story was interesting, even if it was a bit slow sometimes and a little unbalanced between the action and romance. Lee Min Ho isn't the best actor in the world, but his eye candy-ness definitely makes up for it. All the supporting cast did really well. I especially liked Lee Joon Hyuk as Prosecuter Kim Young Joo. The music was really good. I was on the edge of my seat in a lot of parts, yelling at the screen "No! Don't die!" and such.

So, even if it's not the best drama in the world, it's definitely in my top ten.
