A beautiful story about overcoming pain and trauma with someone who loves you wholeheartedly without judgments. I honestly didn't like the main female lead at first because she was too loud and obnoxiously childish in some scenes but I learned to like her character who's also smart, sensitive and caring. The main male lead did an awesome job acting out different personalities. The pain he experienced was palpable through the screen and you'll desperately want to dry his tears too. Another thing I liked in this story was the loving family who adopted her especially her "brother" Omega who's so supportive and lovable. I wanted to hang out with them and eat good food with well-crafted beer. I could go on and on about the positive attributes of this drama including "Yo Na" who chases her Oppa but it would take me awhile. Just go ahead, watch it and enjoy the ride!

Okay, okay. I do love sappy and cheesy dramas with a strong female character. An added bonus was that it was fun to watch and some scenes made me laugh so hard. Honestly, I started to watch this because of Yoon Eun Hye. I find her cute and I think she has great acting chops. I liked her pairing with Kang Ji Hwan since they have good chemistry. I also like the main male lead's character of being thoughtful, supportive or staying strong for his woman despite oppositions and criticisms. We also get to see beautiful views of Jeju Island which I wish to visit in the future. The only downside at the end was her hesitation to get married to him when he proposed. I think that part dragged a bit. Aside from that, it was an enjoyable romantic comedy.

This story is literally a classic example of "when opposites attract". The scenes are ridiculously hilarious and the two main leads delivered their parts well with excellent chemistry between them. Yoon Kyun-sang (main lead) didn't hold back on his expressions and played his character believably. The romantic scenes are also passionate and done well. These characters were endearing in their own way and the supporting cast did an awesome job too. I admire Kim Won-hae's (the dad) flexibility as an actor and also thought he did well in Do Bong-soon. Definitely worth your time!

This drama has everything that wuxia fans like me look forward to watching. It has a great premise that draws you in right away. Awesome cinematography/ CGI and compelling characters. The main female lead is amazing and carries her role well. The character development as the story progressed is flowing smoothly for me too. There's a lot of lighthearted fun along the way, as well as tragedy that helps shape the lead's character. The male lead is also doing a great characterization along with the rest of the cast. I liked the period costumes, magic and fantastic kung fu.

But, the main light at the end of the tunnel of this drama is that there is incredible chemistry between the main leads. Their love is convincing when they look into each other's eyes. It makes you root for them through their hard times and celebrate their happy moments. The rest of the cast did good too and I especially love Zhi Yan and Shi Qi. Xiao Yan portrayed her role well switching between her character and Zhao Yao when they still shared a face and was spiritually connected. I liked the progression of their characters from acquaintance to becoming close like sisters.

Another comedic relief was Shi Qi or Seventeen who was fun, loyal and super cute as she attaches herself to her Sect Leader Zhao Yao and Qian Xian. Without these good points and the main "meat" of the story, the drama would totally fail. It was so drawn out with sub-plots and other romances that ended unhappy. I did like the way the main antagonist died at the end but I didn't like the ending when they used the same actors as siblings. Sure, it did have a happy ending but I would have liked to see how they settled and not abruptly showing their grown children who looks like them. It's just weird that they used the same actors that acted as lovers and at the end, acted as siblings. It just threw me off, that's all. Anyway, I still loved this drama although it dragged a bit towards the end and I still think I didn't waste my time.

Young, Sweet Love

It's such a lighthearted and sweet romantic comedy that makes you giddy with excitement of young love.

I couldn't wait to see the newer episodes so I went somewhere else to watch it. Darren Chen's expressions are so adorable and the chemistry between him and Chen Yao are progressing nicely. Both are delivering their roles convincingly.

The games are also believable and the lessons learned along the way are encouraging.

The main premise reminds me of Sulli's "To the Beautiful You" when the FL pretended to be a boy and the ML became her roommate. The difference is that both joined in a sport which gives the same vibe as "Skate Into Love". For me, it's a great combination already.

Update: Both leads were on point with their roles and you were just drawn into their young, sweet love. Darren Chen as Wen Bing is so cute and convincing. His concern and the way he helped the main female lead to hide her identity was very endearing. The stolen and secretive looks or smiles directed at Sang Tian made me feel like I was younger and was also back in school! I especially liked that part when the female lead didn't know what " Ti Amo" meant and she kept saying it to him! Sebrina Chen on the other hand, did so well in her acting too. The scenes where she played hockey also looked realistic.

The rest of the cast are all lovable. I like the camaraderie and friendship that they build. It's so heart-warming and made you wish you're included in their circle. The other story arcs were not too drawn out and quite enjoyable without veering too much off topic from the main leads.

Most of all, I just loved the ending. It was super adorable and the scenery peaceful and gorgeously shot. The way the camera panned out in the end to show the whole view was breathtaking. Definitely worth your while!

There's great tension between main leads and flaring passion between them. The main male lead is a go-getter, forceful and overconfident when pursuing the main female lead but there's another side to him when it comes to his girlfriend of 10 years. It's ridiculous how he lets his girlfriend control his life and make important decisions without his approval. She even doesn't work and spends a lot of his money even if they're not married yet. You can also clearly see there's no passion in their relationship anymore. On the other hand, the main female lead's boyfriend is controlling too and is rigid with his decisions and life plan. I'm not a proponent of betrayal but my goodness, I'm not totally surprised that it will happen.

If you want to see fierce, competent, competitive and beautiful women, then this is the story you'll have to watch.

I haven't been excited recently about a drama after watching two episodes but this one just got me. The cinematography and shots were framed well and the storyline is fascinating since it involves the world-wide-web that allows us to be connected to each other. Don't you just love the search engines? All praise goes to geniuses who made the web possible and opened up wonders all over the world. I also love this drama as a woman since it's such a treat to watch cool, capable, witty and gorgeous women. They're like role models for modern women who value their careers. Of course, there will be struggles along the way of achieving your dreams but it's a delicate balance between getting that dream job and maintaining a good relationship with loved ones. Im Soo Jung is exhibiting her character really well along with the rest of the strong female cast. Also worth mentioning is Jang Ki Yong's magnetic gaze and disarming smile. The scene of the main female and male leads' first meeting was of a dream-like quality that will set your heart pounding. The scenes they were together were heart-fluttering too. You'll find a gentle, caring and handsome lead in Jang Ki Yong.

This show gets better and better as you watch especially the end of episode 5 which was EPIC! You'll especially see how brazen and strong the main female lead is, along with her coworker. It gives you satisfaction of her winning against the enemy for that time period.

In the end, I gave props to Jeon Hye Jin's character which she played well. She became the heroine at the end and you'll discover her driving force. Not forgetting Lee Da Hee's character who's smart, beautiful, principled and who always believed in the goodness of people. On top of that, she's knows martial arts. Now, that's a great character I can look up to.

It has been awhile since I wrote a review and this show definitely deserved one. The story itself is praiseworthy since it covers a medical condition that highlights the importance of early detection and treatment. It also explores the stigma it will cause when such illness happens to a man which is a rare occurrence.

There were situations which were funny in itself but truthfully isn't a laughing matter at all in real life but the writers made it watchable. The actors were topnotch and very relatable. They all did their roles very well. The tension within the love triangle is so palpable and heart-wrenching. This is one of those dramas that will pull you strongly to cheer for the second male lead. Of course, the main male lead also has redeeming factors that will convince you that he does deserve the female lead's love. I can not say enough good things about the main female lead's acting. She's so adorable, fun to watch and endearing.

The other love story arc was also fun to watch too! This was a really enjoyable drama to watch and I totally recommend it!

I honestly can't get into it yet since I don't see any real sparks between the main male and female leads. I guess I need to see more of their developing relationship before I can truly say that they have good chemistry. What I've seen so far is a link between a spoiled rich son who refuses to work hard because he's rebelling against his dad and a poor yet hardworking beautiful girl who catches his interest because of her fiery temper. Both are good-looking especially Deng Lun but the story line hasn't got me hooked in yet. Plus that "grab money dance" they're supposed to perform at the workplace every morning is a little bit silly for me. So maybe, there's some comedic relief there but I failed to appreciate it. Let's see what happens in the next episodes and I will give an update when English translations are already available.

Update: The romance between the two main leads takes awhile to develop. The male lead only realizes his feelings halfway in the drama. I totally understand why this is frustrating to viewers who expects the love aspect to develop sooner and showed longer. They only got together on the last few episodes and after that, you'll wish there was more. Instead, you'll get to see different families and other side stories of people trying to buy houses. Personally, it didn't bother me since buying houses is fascinating to me. I went through the excitement and frustration of buying a house myself and wanted to see how they did it. If that's not your cup of tea, then move on. This is not a full romantic drama that you're expecting. The leads did a great job of acting though and they look cute together but the chemistry wasn't as great as I expected.

I'm a huge fun of dashing Gong Yoo. The other main leads also did a great job. There's too many great things about this drama that's already been said and all I can say is "ditto, I agree". Two handsome men who looks like they're on a catwalk while saving someone or when they just went to the market, stands out the most when I think of "most memorable moments" for main male leads. They definitely stole our hearts, don't you think? The only downside is the obvious product placement and advertisements. Aside from that, the story line, acting and CGI were on point and superb.

The opening scene of the story shows a beautiful landscape and a woman warrior beside a cart that has a casket on it. It seemed that she has killed a lot of people and she's looking for a place she heard that souls can reside before going to the afterlife. For some reason, she's even willing to kill herself to repent for her sins. She then ends up as the proprietor of a hotel for souls. Fast forward into the present time, the main male lead character (Yeo Jin Goo) has grown up and needs to fulfill a bargain that his father made with her. The deal that was made is similar to the story of the beauty and the beast where the father plucked a blooming flower for his daughter. Only this time, it's a dad offering his son's life in servitude to a thousands-year-old woman.

Honestly, this story got me interested right away. It's a pretty good ghost story so far. Main female lead (IU) looks convincing as a warrior at the beginning and looks gorgeous in her flowing outfits when she became the boss of Hotel de Luna. I'm looking forward to her beautiful wardrobe changes and see if there will be sparks between the main leads. Male lead Jin Goo looks dashing in a suit and playing his character well. There's also some comedic relief I'd like to see more.

Will update review later on.
