This movie as a pleasant surprise even though I'm a fan of TOP ( I mean look at his face) I didn't go in expecting such an entertaining experience and trust me this movie was entertaining. I didn't experience any lulls in my attention and while the pace seemed a bit rushed in some areas it definitely did not bore me.

There is a little bit of everything in this movie (which may slightly have been to its detriment). We have heist or caper set up, a rom -com thread, a rags to riches story, a mentor student story, a revenge tale and a redemption tale (see lots of stuff for you to choose from). As I mentioned above this story is fast paced so fast in fact some parts are literally sped up on screen in order to get to the rest of the story, some people may not like that and may think they were trying to cram too much into one film ( at a whopping 187 mins I tend to agree) but it does allow me to cover a lot of ground and I felt like the story was complete when the movie ended.

The actors did a good job. I had never seen TOP act before and I was impressed. Some of his earlier scenes felt a bit over done but as his character got heavier his performance became more believable (and HOTTER hee hee). Both leading ladies in the film ( and there a few women in the film which i really liked :D) did a great job. They were funny, charming, very sexy , I enjoyed both of their performances and their on screen chemistry with TOP

Shin Se Kyung really impressed me . It was first time seeing her a role outside of Sensory couple and I'm now officially a fan :). She looked the part in each scene and her interaction with all of the characters were spot on YAYYYYY!!

The supporting cast were all stellar Kwan Do Won was chillingly evil villain and Honey Lee played the damaged femme fatale to a tee and looked stunning (as usual). All the other players did not disappoint at all.

I love sequels that can stand alone as their own movie and not have you feel like you need to see the previous installation to get the full story. Tazza: the Hand of God felt like one of those movies to me. Honestly I tried to watch the first one right after this and fell asleep twice so i doubt it will end up on my completed list . So i'm quite satisfied with watching only this movie.

For TOP fans, heist fans ,action fans and any one looking for fast paced entertaining ride. Watch it its fun :)

HILARIOUS!!!!!!! a great raucous romantic comedy. I don't usually like sex jokes but these were hilarious. I could have done with the sex scenes (in my opinion it didn't add anything to the movie).

The cast was perfect and the conflicts and questions experienced by both leads felt very relatable.Both leads are sexy,funny, cute and warm. The supporting cast did an awesome job as well and as another reviewer said I think this is a more accurate representation of modern dating in Korea. Both of them are average joes just trying to navigate life and find love (no chaebol's here LOL).

Even the ending is believable and cute.

2 thumbs way up ... watch it if ONLY if youre 18 + though. LOL

I have yet to watch a Jung Jae Young movie that was not enjoyable.This movie is quirky and unexpected. From beginning to end it was lots of fun. With the plot summary you think you understand the setup but what on folds on screen is far from what expected. But I guess that's Jung Jae Young's forte. :) Hes so great.

His performance makes the movie. His character is the driving force and provides the conflict for the entire story so it was great to watch how one man could push an entire bank heist movie forward.

Although this film is firmly in the comedy genre it was not without a few very tense scenes and moments of worry, which i appreciated. There were few scenes that had me laughing out loud and rolling on my bed. I couldn't help myself it was exactly my kind of humour and it continued through out the film.

One of the most memorable pieces of music came in one of my favourite scenes involving umbrellas (when you watch you'll know what i'm talking about) the music is what brought out the comedy and it was awesome. I had to re-watch the scene.

Although this was funny movie I thought was a serious underlying message about policing in Korea and corruption. But that message definitely didn't detract from the comedy.

It was a short movie under the 2 hour mark ( which seems to be rare in Korean film) and it was great treat. My only grouse would be the ending scene. I thought the build up of the movie deserved a better ending but it was still a great movie.

This movie was not what i expected but in a good way. I like several things about it.

First it wasn't a very long movie and the plot although not complex moves along very quickly. At first i thought it was ridiculous that her grandfather was insisting on her marrying a guy at least 5 years her senior WHILE she was in high school.But i guess it's a cultural thing (oppa??)

There were some minor characters that i thought were very realistic in their responses to this potentially ridiculous situation. Her mom's reaction and resulting guilt was on point which left me to wonder about her dad , because he didn't seem to concerned at all. Her best friend did a good job at playing up the conflict she was experiencing in keeping her secret while wanting to do what was right. (and she has a great line while they are painting the mural :)

That English teacher was HILARIOUS but i felt so bad for her lol u could smell the desperation through the screen she was the main source of comedy for me.


Both leads are believeable in their roles and i honestly didn't expect the Bo Eun to start leading a double life and being so fiesty, i really enjoyed her performance (although i didn't always sympathize). Sang min was cute and i felt bad for him sometimes, since he seemed to be trying so hard and nothing seemed to be going right for him.

The only real complaint i have about this movie is the lack of insight we get into the thoughts of the leads. We don't really know their back story or the depth of their relationship until the end. Through out the movie we don't get to see how they really feel about each other. Maybe this was the reason that i felt a bit uncomfortable with some of the scenes (like HUH? ,i didn't know he had those types of feelings...ewww).

But in the end it all came together for me. An unexpected, light,funny romantic (ish) romp great for when you're on a drama break

Kundo started out really well. Even though the story was familiar I felt like it was a fresh telling. It had interesting characters and a lot of familiar faces that i always enjoy. However going into the climax of the film i felt like things got a bit ridiculous and broad. The detailed stories that we had seen earlier gave way to lots of cool action scenes but I felt the second half lacked heart and organization. A few things were left unexplained and just seemed far fetched in the world they had created previously.

The performances were solid but not exceptional. Funnily enough i felt more drawn to the villain played by Kang Dong Won ,maybe it was his eyes or beautiful costumes but I found myself getting annoyed at the hero and wanting the villain to be reformed and join our group of bandits.

It's a decent movie and it sticks to the genre pretty closely. Don't expect any surprises or surprise revelations the plot is very simple and straight forward. The only surprise was how much they swore (at least in the subtitles) and how many balls/penis innuendo there was.


Watch this if you like martial arts, a good Robin Hood retelling or are a fan of any of the stars.

It was ok , but nothing more .

Now Last Cinderella is noona romance that lovers of that sub-genre drama will appreciate. It is a romance above all. There is very little deviation from that genre with a few comedic and dramatic elements thrown in there. In keeping with this there was a villain of sorts but no one you could call evil. To be honest I wanted to smack the villain over the head a few times and tell her to get a HOBBY.

On to the characters:

Our heroine Sakura (Shinoara) is one we've seen before. A fairly successful , middle aged woman, very rough around the edges who hasn't gotten any in a while. She has a pure soul with a heart of gold and believes in true love and honesty.

Que Tachibana (Fujiki) as feuding possible love interest #1. These two go at it, in the usual love/ hate relationship way we've grown to know and appreciate in Asian dramas, but for me they fall flat as love interests. The chemistry wasn't there. Even though they go through the usual cute rom-com situations that should send sparks flying, I just don't see them as a couple (maybeI was blinded by Miura's hotness *shrug*).Tachibana is likeable, dependable, smart and insightful. He helps our heroine avoid some missteps with his sensible advice. But the spark just wasn't there for me.( I think that this may have been done on purpose to set up a conflict later on the drama, but I dunno)

Que Hiroto(Miura) as hottie heartbreaker love interest #2. YES!! The casting director got this one RIGHT. First things first Miura Haruma who plays Saeki Hiroto is HAWT HAWT HAWT in this drama. He's hot with his shirt on and with his shirt off ( which happens a lot in this drama) . He's hot when he's glaring and angsty and he's hot when hes been cutesy and romantic. Even though he's bad news from the start and not very likable you totally understand why our heroine falls under his spell. There is a scene where hes in bed (shirtless of course) where he laces his fingers together and smiles... RAWRR.

Our main couple is so sweet they give you cavities and out heroine is so clumsy and cutesy that Miura's angsty bad boy persona thankfully balances the couple out.

Our heroine's friends Miki and Shima are great. There were few moments of me covering my mouth at some of the earlier plot developments (ARE THEY REALLY GOING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN?? NOOOO!!).But thankfully the writers resolved the possibly cringe worthy scenarios realistically and quickly. As I mentioned before this drama is about romance so all other stories apart from the main one revovled around finding, understanding and appreciating love.

Cute, short, sweet, sexy Last Cinderella reminds us that TRUE NOONA LOVE CONQUERS ALL!

Cheese, fluffy , fun

I just happened upon this drama one day on youtube I don't even remember who I got onto the production company's page. The premise sounded interesting and I gave it a shot. To be honest the chemistry of the main couple was what kept me going> I literally fast-forwarded through the 2nd couples scenes LOL I don't even remember the plot points they had. This is not a deep or very well written story. It's fluffy, light and there are lots of gaps to complain about. BUT the chemistry of the lead actors and the initial plot was very fun. I waited with excitement every week for the new subs to come out on youtube. Its a perfect filler drama for when you're in a slump or just want something light. Production values arent really that high either but just go with it LOL. But I have rewatched certain scenes with the lead multiple times cos I just LOVE their chemistry.
