Good Classic Kdrama
I watched My Girl at the recommendation of my friend and I did enjoy it overall.Story- The plot was good but unfortunately at maybe episode 10, it really started to go downhill with repetition and tons of missed opportunities for the leads to come clean and fix the issue. Yoo Rin spent too much time crying and attempting to stay away from Gong Chan for my liking (I know it was meant to enhance the drama but after the first few times it got a little annoying to watch ?). I would have liked to see the leads be more affectionate though and be together for longer. There was also no need for 16 episodes, it was long enough for us to see second male lead become somewhat of a bad guy for a little and honestly was just unnecessary; the last maybe 3-4 episodes just showed a lot of repetitive back and forth between the leads. Despite what I didn't like though, I think the basis of the story is pretty interesting and it's also an older drama so even though I'm mentioning these things it didn't majorly take away from the shows. Shows change over time and this show probably fit into the type of shows being produced at that time/ well loved when it came out
Acting/Cast- The cast was good. I think some of it was a bit over the top and kind of awkward to watch but for the most part it was supposed to be like that so the cast was good ?
Music- I liked the music, it was the same 2-3 songs playing but I think they fit the show and was nice to listen to :)
Rewatch- I probably wouldn't rewatch this show because the episodes are 60-70 mins each and the last few episodes weren't my cup of tea but the show was interesting and funny!

I love the OST in this kdrama and even now i am listening to it.
Park seyeon can not act and she should not get any acting role. She is only bad in this drama.
Everything else funny and charming.
Ending is ok but i rather see opposite.

very pretty and very silly classic, a watershed for kdrama
I recommend this for rainy days, snowy days, slow Friday nights or whenever you want to relax. Enjoy. The Hong sisters' 2nd script, their first hit, their trademark trustworthy dialogue and cool plots already evident. Std. length, 16eps at 1hr ea.Very pretty and very silly fun involving Jeju Island, Lee Dong Wook, Lee Joon Gi and Lee Da Hae. Two chaebol heirs, LDW and the beautiful LJG, and a poor girl who lives by her wits asked to masquerade as a family member...if it seems familiar it is nearly two decades ago and lots of series have tried the formula since. Deathless stuff.
Truth and lies, think of actors and filmmakers. A fable ( from a 13th C compilation!!) of the king with donkey ears is not used as a frame, but something like a comment on the action. His secret, shouted into a bamboo grove, is repeated on the wind like urban myths. The king uselessly mows the bamboo down..
The liar says the best lies in a con are outrageous, the best liars are persistent and shameless. Kdrama in a nutshell. Love alone cannot be lied about for very long. A great kiss and confession are late, look for the little catch of air in the throat of the listening recipient..
The personal fantasy sections are great. Also a drunken ramble along a sidewalk cursing obstacles. Snow and snow globes are overdone. Glass-walled elevators ; hotel setting. The eavesdropping scenes are particularly nice since each one is done differently, and obvously, when lying is a problem, listening is a hard necessity. Product placements mainly the latest phones in 2006, lots of fun.
The show is more polished for a general audience than the HSs' first, on purpose. Until Hotel del Luna (12th show), Hwayugi (11th), and Alchemy of Souls (13th), this show (2nd ), My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (6th) and The Greatest Love (7th) were the most popular.
The excellent experienced director Jeon Ki Sang, is the same as for Sassy Girl Chunhyang. The composer, Oh Joon Sung, of an interesting soundtrack which wraps around the ends of scenes often in emotional counterpoint (to move the audience along?) went on to a long career after this, his first.
A positive welter of pop culture and older movie/show references is too much for me to parse, but the lover's farts from Goodwill Hunting are there for future Phds.
I have read that My Girl in 2005 was a watershed in the depiction of strong independent FLs. I think that in MG the Hong sisters also reduced the amount of corrosive manipulation by the MLs as well, at least that is what I infer when I watch other shows from that era.

Oh my goodness, just why?!?!
Bad costuming, bad hair, and some bad acting. It was an old show and didn’t age well. I realize that production values have improved over the years, but this felt like watching a bad home movie. I'll be the first to admit that I don't care for people that are liars or con-men, so this one was problematic for me. Their separation throughout the show made no sense at all. They had no respect for one another and no chemistry. I had some second male lead syndrome though. It's also one of those shows that I watched again because I hadn't reviewed it and hoped it was better than I remember, but unfortunately, it wasn't.Cet avis était-il utile?

A liar, a thief
Can't go from 2 episode...The girl is a thief, liar, con artist and she doesn't care about others and about put others in trouble just to save her skin!
Really can't understand why this drama has a high ranking.
How can someone stand a FL like her? Her role/character is siply awfull, the type of girl/woman that I realy don't like and there is plenty of them in the real life. Every time she talks she says a lie, she is hungry for money and even the excuse for her father debts are not reliable or can justifie the way she plays with others!
Ah, and she has not funny at all. Even the ML, an actor there I like, can save this drama
