What can I say? I loved this drama! It's, without a doubt, one of the best I've seen so far. It had me hooked from the very beginning, leaving little space for dull moments. Every time a plot twist was resolved, it only meant the beginning of another that would just keep as hooked as the one that just ended.



Some may say it's a mix of Coffee Prince, Hana Kimi and Boys Before Flowers. But to me, this falls short to the final product. Even if it uses familiar themes present in these other dramas, Sungkyunkwan Scandal's characters are different and the plot refreshing. It is too simple to describe it as a combination of the aforementioned stories, for its historical setting and character development make it stand on a whole different level. The interaction between students, the plots set about by powerful officials, the displays of affection and the scandals...it wouldn't have been the same in a contemporary setting.



And, as a plus, for all us fangirls out there, the guys in this drama are so cute...it was a joy to watch so much eye candy on screen.

Story- Liked that it is real life based. Veryy funny storyline with the sloppy working girl and professional boss living together. Its nice to see thier friendship grow. Their\''s romance in there but not who you think. The end leaves an opening for season 2.

Acting- Hotaru is a character that is well rounded. Shes laid back and silly but knows when to get it together. Sometimes its hard to like her character cause she seems to naive at times. The actress did a great job portraying her different qualities. Seiichi is manly but has a shy exterior. Its hard to show his feelings.Thats why he gets no romance in this sseason. I really liked the supporting cast!

Music- I don\''t really remember the music so id rate it average.

Overall- A nice romance drama that will teach you about hard work and how to balance that with having fun.

Story- Had an interesting start. The writers did a great job of writing Misaki\''s character growth. She matures into a real cabin attendant but still keeps a little part of her rough edge. The romance part as in most J dramas lacked. I feel like there was room for more comedic moments. The end was cute.

Acting/ Cast- The lead female was very fun to watch. The actress did a great job. The supporting cast filled their roles well.

Music- The theme song is a remake of Pretty Woman. A cool rock version. There wasnt too much music in this one.

Overall- A drama to entertain you when your bored. Not one of the best J dramas Ive seen. I didn\''t bother to watch the specials for this one.

Wow. I must say this is a really good series and at first i thought it was going to be kinda cheesy because of how the monsters turned out to be and stuff and with how they made the sailor scouts into karaoke and whatever. But after watching all of the episodes(including the specials), I was hooked.



I must say this is definitely better than the anime and a little better than the manga. For instance, Usagi is much more serious and not such a wimp or a crybaby like the way the anime portrayed her to be. Ami is actually more fun and not into studyin g so much, Raye is more kinder and less harsh and not boy crazy, makoto is even cooler, and minako is definitely more focused than the way the anime portrayed her.



This is a really good series that is worth watching, especially if your a fan of the anime or manga or a fan of both like i am. You won't be disappointed. You will even love the ending. Watch it if you have a chance.

I liked the story of this drama. I just want to know in what law book does it say that u have to like ur family? There r a couple of mine that I would not spit on if they were on fire and screaming for help. Ok I'm not really that heartless but I still don't have to like them. Besides spitting is a really nasty thing to do and I would not do it unless I was choking.



I liked the acting but the character Gun-Hee got on my nerves a little b/c he is always yelling. It's like "hello fog horn alert!" He is a classic behavioral psychology case (oppositional defiant disorder), inappropriate displays of emotion (yelling, hitting, calling names). He kinda reminds me of my k-9th graders at work and I diagnosed them all w/ "spoiled brat syndrome."



I liked it and might watch it again at some point but it's not on the top of my list of "crack dramas." I suggest that others watch it b/c it will take u through a ring of emotions that some dramas just can't touch. Enjoy it for what it is and don't try to make more out of it like I do.

This movie was a total surprise for me. Why? Because I thought I would dislike it. But something drew me in, and I was right to follow my instinct; the acting is fantastic by both of the leads, and the story is interesting.

It's quite a dark movie with just a few happy moments, but somehow it left me with a warm feeling.

Also, some of the supporting characters left me with a deep impression as well, one of the bad guys and the shopkeeper, even though neither of them had a lot of screen-time.

I give this movie a full 10, I was entertained, moved, and didn't take my eyes off the screen until the end.

This is not the first time that I have come across a story in which a guy and a girl fall in love and the girl has some kind of disease. 'A Millionaire's First Love' has traits of a typical tragedy- the leads- one is rich and spoilt and takes things for granted, the other is poor and lives, coping with the severe hardships of life. At one glance this movie is a cliché. Once you read the synopsis somewhere, the movie will start playing before you and you can easily predict the ending. The same applies to me. However, since I am a fan of tragedies and like to torture my eyes by bawling them out, I watched it. This was one reason. Another reason was the movie's popularity. I have heard a lot in its praise.



I liked the cast. The two leads did brilliant acting, especially Hyun Bin as Kang Jae Jyung. Lee Yeon Hee as Choi Eun Whan was perfect. This was my first time seeing her on screen and I was impressed. 'The Snow Queen' is a Korean drama with a similar story starring Hyun Bin but his character in it is completely the opposite of what it is in this movie. The music is pretty good and it fit into the scenes well. The only thing that bugged me was that the male lead realized his feelings for the female lead too quick. There was hardly any interaction between the two and the next moment, they were in love! It felt as if the director just wanted to make the two fall in love but didn't give a thought to show HOW. So yeah, it was kind of a turn-off from the point of a romantic stuff watcher. But the positive side is that the two leads were successful in touching my heart. I could relate myself to them and feel sympathy. At the end, I couldn't help but cry. As I said earlier, the ending is pretty predictable once you read the synopsis or watch the first half of the movie but still I couldn't help but feel the pain as if it was not how expected it to end.



As for the rewatch value, I don't think I'll watch it again for now but perhaps after a long time when I would feel like watching something sad.



To sum everything up, I would say that this movie is for you if you like tragic love stories (and if you are another Hyun Bin fan!)
