Me too, Flower! (2011)

First of all, I REALLY LIKE YOON SHI YOON HERE! Some people said that they like him better in The King of Baking Kim Tak Goo, but as for me, I like him better here. As for the reasons, I'll put it in the acting section.

Hmm, I think my first reason why I watch this drama is because I watch the OST's MV.. It's Too Much Tears by Suzy (yes, thanks to Suzy for leading me to watch this..)

Story: the story actually, as for me, just average.. or maybe a bit more than average. the story line is just.. too common. Romance, family problems, love problems, jealousy. Yep, but that's it. Nothing really different from other dramas that excite me more. Maybe I think the only thing that's interesting for me from this drama is Seo Jae Hee's complicated character and background.
Moreover, I think there's not much people interested in this drama, so it took so much time for the English subbed to be out, and it actually decrease my interest.
BUT, one more thing that makes me give score 7 not 6 was, the ending is a perfectly happy ending. It's a happy ending for everyone. I really like the ending :)

Acting: I read in a few source that originally, Seo Jae Hee will be played by Kim Jae Won. But I think, switch him to Yoon Shi Yoon is a great idea. In my opinion, Yoon Shi Yoon has successfully brings out the "dark" side of Seo Jae Hee. Seo Jae Hee is a complicated character, and Yoon Shi Yoon has succeed in playing his role :)
As for Lee Ji Ah, she also did a pretty good job. The thing is, I really like the chemistry between Seo Jae Hee & Cha Bong Seon! It makes me goes "Awww.. so sweet :)"
And Ki Kwang! He is just sooo cute. Jo Ma Ru's character suit him well! The rest of the character is also great.

Soundtrack: most of them are good. It really swings my mood while watching, even outside of it. Some of them are now playing continuously in my playlist.

Rewatch: just like I said in the story section, the plot is actually not much different from other dramas, and maybe it's my personal opinion, because I don't really rewatch the dramas I've watched.

Overall, it's just good. Nothing outstanding in particular, besides from Yoon Shi Yoon's acting and Jae Hee-Bong Seon's chemistry.

I rarely give a 10 in drama ratings. This is a 10.
You would LOVE this drama if you consider yourself as...

an outsider of the social norm
introvert
unappreciated
not the typical fallen angel with the heart of gold
sometimes cynical
value acting as well as looks of actors/ actresses
a fair person who would not let negative news of lee ji ah affect your judgment of her performance
love dramas with insights that are different from mainstream arrogant chaebol loves poor outgoing girl plots

This drama is fun, psychological, out of the norm, deep, some say dark, no entirely evil characters but rather everyone has weaknesses, and it also deals with family issues. In all, a healing drama. Aside from being irresponsible to the protagonist, Jae hee is my favourite male character out of thousands of dramas i ve watched. And did I mention the awesome kisses*_* best kisses of all dramas ??! Awesome chemistry.

Story::

This is a melodramatic romance. Its full of misunderstandings that the two leads have to sort out. It's good, it kept my attention. Development was fantastic for the main characters, but lacking for the secondary characters. The romance build up for the sec. characters wasn't at all that great. In fact it was kind of lacking. However, the story was well structured and made sense when it needed to.

Acting/Case::

Holy crap, the acting was good. You hated the evil characters and felt sympathy for them as well. I began to hate the main characters, not because they sucked at acting, but because they weren't communicating! Eh, normal K-Drama stuff. What can you do? Anywho, the acting was phenomenal

Music:

Nothing that stuck out.

Recomended?
If you'd like to watch a light melorom, take this for a pic. Its not fantastic but its not bad either.


7/10 Overall


(Ps: I don't rewatch)

So I just got over with this drama today and i must say it was indeed quite impressive. Honestly speaking it wasn't one of the best for me but it was good. I enjoyed watching it for the past few days. It was a typical rom-com. It indeed taught me family values and how hard it is to not be privileged enough to get enough attention from family, and not be guided properly by proper guardian. It was a cute drama I'd definitely recommend to anyone whose a fan of rom-com. But the only disappointment i faced through out the whole serie is that it sort of dealt with the same problem all over and over again. But i must admit the kissing scenes were great, not the typical korean lip-on-lip style it had a bit more lip-lock (lol):P. The reason i gave the re-watch value a 7 is , if you'd ask me i'd probably not watch this more than twice. But it had really good music which is still buzzing in my ears for quite a bit of time. Overall it was a cute drama altogether i didn't get bored of it at all. If you can't access viki.com due to region problem you are sure to find it in dramacrazy.net. Thank you! I hope my review has encouraged you to watch this adorable drama.

The summary somehow made me think this drama will be very different, but I liked it as it is.

Story's cute, and the couple's very mushy and romantic, though both of them are nuts in their own ways (leading to some pretty amusing scenes, although they were supposed to be sad, I guess). I'm a bit pissed off because they used one person to embody many negative traits and basically construct the plot guide on them; it seemed rather unfair towards a character.

The acting was great, I have no complaints over any scene in particular, be it the leads or the supporting cast, they have acted it out properly.

I haven't concentrated on music that much, though I remember one of the soundtracks that was interesting, but otherwise the musical background is barely noticable.

Aside from the character that I've mentioned, I also think this could've used a bit more episodes, since it ended so abruptly that it cut off some of the excitement over this drama. Otherwise, this was a damn fine romance with considerate chemistry and fluff. Recommended.

Story: An interesting, fun and refreshing take on love between the rich and the not-so-rich. No chaebols involved in the love story but there were definitely a number of chaebols who were physically harmed. I am charmed by the storyline. It is a roller coaster ride of emotions - the scenes switch from funny, melo to romance to funny fluidly and with only 15 episodes (yes 15, not 16..the list here was incorrect re the number of episodes for this drama), none of the episodes were wasted. A nicely packed drama, no dilly dallying and a concrete ending for all characters. Watch it and you'll know what I mean!

Acting/Cast: What can I say? I fell in love with Yoon Shi Yoon when he was Baker King, Kim Tak Gu and this drama made me a confirmed fan of his acting. A different character than Tak Gu and he pulled it off very well. Lee Ji Ah's return to acting following her highly publicized scandal was not too bad either. She was very believable as the ill tempered policewoman. A special mention for Lee Ki Kwang for his dual characters in this drama (as Jo Ma Roo and Pink Chicken). For someone from a non-acting background, he did well. The rest of the cast were also fantastic.

Music: I totally fell in love with the sexy OST "Dreaming" by B2ST (the song that kept playing whenever the main actor is in his "rich guy" mood). It totally suited the scenes and atmosphere. The other OSTs are excellent as well. What can I say....they are all in my MP3 walkman already and I am listening to them as I am writing this review! :)

Rewatched value: I am already rewatching it after finishing it. I am also planning to buy the DVDs for keeps. This drama is worth its spot in my personal collection of KDramas.

Overall: I am impressed and entertained. I could not stop kicking myself for having scrolled past this drama when it first debuted but because of the new year holidays, I made time for it. Best decision so far where KDramas are concerned for year 2011. I am surprised why it has not received much love and attention from fellow drama addicts. This one here is a true gem, despite its rather bland synopsis that does it no credit whatsoever! My verdict? WATCH IT! SERIOUSLY!

I'll try not to be harsh as I loved the lead actor. Seo Jae Hui was and remained my favorite character until the end. I have to say that this is my first time watching Yoon Shi Yoon in a series, maybe I should watch King of Baking too. I wasn't a fan of the police woman and most of the times found her annoying. Even her sister was more interesting. Also the series is full of cheesiness and was boring at times. Maybe I'm twisted but I enjoyed watching Madam Park, I just love beautiful women, especially if they're powerful. I don't want to talk about detail, story and character development as I'm a little disappointed. The series doesn't offer new elements but tries to work with typical cliches. All in all an average series. I gave it extra points because of Yoon Shi Yoon and Han Go Eun who made the series from my point of view.

Me 2 Flower was both funny and dramatic. I watched the first 10 episodes but then skipped to the last episode. Not that the story was bad or anything but I didn’t want to waste any more time on a drama I wasn’t fully invested in. Also, the story is nothing new but its good enough for anyone who is looking for something they wont get bored by. The ending was simple and tied up everyone’s storyline.

The acting was very good by everyone especially the leads. Yoon Shi Yoon really has improved from Baker King. I really liked that his character was actually nice and innocent which is a switch from our regular arrogant male leads. Lee Ji Ah played her character very well but I never came to like her character, which is probably the reason I didn’t love the show. I liked the supporting characters they added some fun.

The OST was really good. Ill be sure to put most of the songs on my ipod to listen to=)

This drama is rewatchable but I'm not interested in watching again cause I didn't like the main female character at all!

Overall this is just another predictable watch to pass the time.

I want to start by saying that I really, REALLY wanted to like this drama. I tend to avoid dramas where police officers are the leads, but I figured Yoon Shi Yoon was pretty enough that even if I hated it, I could just stare at him. That was a flawed theory.

It's hard to figure out what I didn't like about the show. It simultaneously moved way too fast, and way too slow in varying aspects to where the timing felt messy. And the music was horrible. I understand that Bong Sun was suffering from a deep depression and Jae Hee's life wasn't a walk in the park. Happy, carefree music would have been inappropriate. But the music they used went back and forth between sounding like the background music to an erotic film, and something out of Deep Space 9. I was not a fan.

I was a fan, however, of Bong Sun and Dr. Park's interactions. I really liked how he just understood her, and tried to guide her through the tough time she was having without pushing her too hard for the most part. And his dealings with Jae Hee also showed a level of understanding on Dr. Park's part that made me wish they hadn't given him a sad backstory as well. Though, to be fair, if he hadn't gone through his own demons, he would probably not be capable of helping others with theirs.

I think that was the main reason I ended up not loving this drama. Every character had a sad or dark backstory, and happiness for each character was so hard won. Any time something good happened, I had this dread in my stomach that something or someone (namely, Hwa Young) was going to come along and ruin it.

This is definitely not a bad drama. If you are looking for a romance that isn't as bright and cheery as a romcom, but still manages to throw in a couple laughs every now and then along with all of the drama, then this is what you should watch! The acting is extremely well done, and Lee Ki Kwang, the chef from My Princess was adorable to watch. He was the shining light in all of the darkness.

I enjoyed watching this drama.The story maybe nothing new, but the characters are quite unique and well written.

The lead characters are people who carry many scars and pain in them, with no thought of finding love, yet they find a love that heals their heart.

I really liked the character of the female lead. Her background, profession, the way she behaved and the people in her life were very interestingly drawn. Lee Ji Ah who played the role was very good. Her body language and expressions were perfect for the role.

I have watched the lead actor Yoon Shi Yoon earlier in King of Baking Kim Tak Goo. He does a very good job in this drama too, though I felt he looked much cuter in the earlier one.

Among the others, there were many endearing characters. Even Hwa Young who makes us want to hate her most of the time with her larger than life ego, has such a side to her.

The only annoying element in the drama was probably a song that played in somewhat angsty times and was grating to the ears.

The ending theme is beautiful too- that love can heal us all.
