This was a cute drama. I loved the story b/c it is about finding ur own path in life. There was little romance but that did not make the drama any less romantic. The ideals presented were very different from most dramas. The girl learning to be independent even when she knows that she needs help. The real life value of "begging does not always answer the problems" did not deminish the value of respect and pride that is being taken into consideration in those moments.



I really enjoyed this drama and will watch it again espcially b/c there were some really funny parts to it. The Grandpa was the bestest. I hope all that watch it enjoy it as much as I did.

This was really an exceptional drama! It's one of the best I've seen so far. Although the whole girl pretending to be a boy thing is not new, the setting and situation is fresh. This gives it a very different style than all the dramas it has been compared to. The beginning is slightly confusing if you have no knowledge of Korean history, traditions or culture. But as you watch, you will understand. I like how there is friendship built and emphasized as the characters encounter little twists and obstacles.

The characters play well off each other as their chemistry is greate and the actors are all well suited for their parts. And honestly, the guys are very cute :P

One notable thing about this drama is it gives you room to imagine in details yourself. For example, they don't necessarily give the full backstory of the characters. Instead they hint at many parts and let you create your own story for them in your mind.

Story- Most of the episodes are devoted to making your insides hurt while laughing. The romances are very well written. There are sad events towards the end that will make you cry. There are happy endings though=D

Acting/Cast- Lee Min Jung is my new favorite actress. She played Jungin so perfectly. She knew how to be annoying but cute at the same time. The guy that played Hyunsu was so cute and funny. The supporting cast are brilliant actors! They know how to play funny and also be dramatic/emotional. Can\''\''t say enough good things about them.

Music- Beautiful score. The OST is awesome! I love all the songs they used. Def. going on my ipod=D

Rewatch- Although most would find a 45 ep drama hard to rewatch, this drama was so entertaining Id watch it again.

Overall- This drama is so entertaining and the cast is magnificent. Don\''\''t miss out on this masterpiece of a drama!

Only one word: SAIKOU!!!! and unlike Filo said i did watch it because of the cover since to me it didn`t looked gay and because of her review. i liked the stars on their costumes :P and of course the fact that they were all guys(good looking ones too :P). But this was one of the best dramas i`ve watched, even tough i`m more on comedy-romance dramas and i`ve only watched those with this one i fell in love at first sight.



The story - is great; ever since watching anime i`ve allways loved and admired guy`s bonds and loyalty towards friendship. I feel like they are more pure and honest than the girls. The fighting and the tumbling scenes where also good you can feel their feelings through them too. Acting/Cast - i liked the cast it really fit with the whole story and each of them played really good. The Music - it matched all the feelings they showed. I`m not the type to re-watch dramas but i have a feeling that this one i will. At the end i definitely recommend this to you guys.It`s a MUST see!! ^___^

Autumn Concerto is... a classic.
Not in the negative sense of the word, just the opposite. Watching it feels like reading a novel from centuries past, with all the tragic, the heart-wrench, the twist, the suspense and the sweetness of the most classic romantic literature. A friend compared it to a novel by Judith McNaught, and I tend to agree with her.

One of the things I appreciated the most about this drama is the speed with which the plot is set in motion and the pace established. By the end of episode 1, I was fatally hooked. This is not a show which promises the viewer something, only to drag unnecessary by the middle or loosing consistency and cohesion at some point. If you like the dishes you are presented with at first sight, you will love the whole meal to the end. And a truly romantic meal at that, full of passion and not the usual luke-warm, lovey-dovey chirping.

The acting performances are outstanding as a whole. I have read many complaining about Vanness Wu's broken accent, but since I don't speak Mandarin I didn't notice anything amiss. On the contrary, I felt with his character a lot more than any other in the show, possibly because he has to outshine the delivering with intense facial expressions. Ady An's character can stretch one's patience at times, but this only adds to the actress's skill to make it so. And the chemistry is palpable.
The child is a wonder, no addition needed.

My only complain lies in the editing. This is a general problem I have with Taiwanese dramas: too frequent commercial cuts, filled with those brief reprises in which flashes of scenes to come are shown over and over. Once the viewer is forewarned, I guess it can be overlooked, although I personally find it terribly annoying. The music falls under the same curse: it's very good, but played too often and at times it overpowers the dialogues. If I hadn't liked this story so much, I would have gone insane.

Overall, this is a drama I'm ready to recommend to everyone in search of true romance. It's a timeless story, which does not rely on trend, or shiny, perfectly made-up actors and glamorous outfits. Does it have cliches? Yes it has, quite a few even, but they are well blended into a solid script and a plot which will never get truly old.

The story - wasn`t that bad and it was interesting but there were a few boring eps they could`ve made it more appealing. Acting/Cast - well i felt like the cast was great and fit the whole story but they lacked chemistry between the characters and i felt like Kim Jae Wook/Jung In`s character was kinda plain and not strong enough. The Music - was definitely the best we all know why - Jang Geun Suk - and only because of him i didn`t drop the drama which btw it took me 3 days to finish and i usually finish a drama of 16 eps in 1 day (but of course it has to be a good one). I usually don`t re-watch dramas and of course this one i surely won`t.

I liked this to a certain extent, but halfway through the series, it wasn't the main couple I wanted to get together but the secondary characters. The sister, ex-girlfriend, the chef at the restaurant, these were all great characters that provided amusing or interesting side stories. Sam Soon was incredibly frustrating and stalker-ish a lot of the time. By the end of the show, I was happy with how everything turned out, but it took a while to get there. The acting was fantastic though, no complaints there. I gave the story a 6 simply because it's not original (nor does it have to be it, I must add) and it seemed to repeat itself a lot. That said, the writing was good and there were some great scenes between the American doctor and JinHun's ex-girlfriend. There were a lot of awkward and embarrassing moments, which seems pretty standard in Korean dramas but can just kill me sometimes. The mother wasn't as domineering as she usually is in these kind of dramas though, and I appreciated that.

Now I am a firm believer in only writing reviews after seeing the whole drama, but I feel I need to write this. This drama is just a worser version of the Japanese one. The opening, music (minus the opening), and the uniforms are the exact same. It also trys to stay with the same funny feel. I was hoping with this version it would try to stay with the manga more, but this is even farther from the manga than the other version. The cast is also not as good as the first (but don't get me wrong they are good looking). Not anyone in this cast really "fits" into the roles (I mean who can beat Ikuta Toma as Nakatsu?) The Japanese version was soooo good that this version just falls flat. Let's just hope that the Korean version can be as good as the Taiwanese and the original Japanese dramas.

I would not even bother watching this unless you can really seperate this version from the original.

So, I just finished this amazing drama and i really dont understand, how someone could not like it :D

As I watched the last few minutes of the show, i cryied, laughed and felt so many feelings, that i just cant describe with words. But i will say this: it was the most heartwarming, family based drama i have ever seen. The story was amazing (esp the idea about hearing impaired main character), actors all axceptional. Sometimes, maybe they cryied a little bit too much, all this screeming and emotions just bursted up. But after all, it was still light and great to watch. That is why i love it so much.

The main pairing was absolutely lovely and cute. They just loved each other despite all the hatred in their families. Their relationship was natural, cute and fun to watch. They didnt have any heavy feelings or hate :)

I know, that the ending was a little bit... too dreamy. You know... everyone is happy, big family. The bad guys turned up to be the good guys and so. We all know, that something like this would never happen in the real life. But that is also the reason, why CYHMH is so good - its dreamy, cute, funny, light.

I would recommend this to everyone, who wants to spend their time with interesting stor that will lighten up their days with great characters and happy feeling. Go for it, you wont be disappointed.

its light drama i though it was better from trailer but i was enjoying when i saw it .

the head line of the story is good and it could contains deeply ideas for drama than we saw.

acting and cast i really like siwon's acting , the president of product company and sure ye yon "little girl" she was soooooooo cute and i love her but ki hwa i think she is not good for the drama.

the last few eps were better than the first eps although i think the ending was ordinary and the last 15 min of last ep was so boring and not creative as the ordinary ending in most series of korean drama.

music was not bad .

overall although the weak of the drama i enjoyed seeing it ^^

I would certainly recommend watching this drama. It was an easy watch. The acting was good, the plot was interesting, and the script was humorous. It was amazing how they made Toma look so different in the flashbacks during different "phases" of her life.



The relationship between Toma and Seibumi was very funny.



THE WARNING: It has an "open ending", which I don't like. I will avoid dramas just because of that reason, however I did not know that this one had an open ending. I know some people don't mind, or even like open ends, but for the people like me who don't I would just like to warn anyone coming that it was a very good drama, but it had an open end. I guess for me, this one didn't have a bad open end. I would have preferred a "real" ending, but this one was easy to understand what happened.

Story- Not boring whatsoever! The cliffhangers at the end of each episode makes you want to watch the next episode. There\''\''\''\''s a lot of angst in the show. Which kind of gets frustrating till episode 15. But without the drama it would be boring right? The ending is cute=D

Acting/Cast- This was well casted. The leads had good chemistry and acted well. But I wasn\''t in love with them. I actually fell in love with Yoo Ah In & Song Jun Ki\''s characters. I love thier bromance, too cute. The rest of the supporting cast fit thier roles really well.

Music- Very lovely score. You could really feel the mood. The modern songs were nice.

Rewatch- I could probably watch this once a year.

Overall- For a non historical drama watcher to praise SS, it has to be pretty impressive right? So give it a chance and enjoy what this brilliant masterpiece has to offer!

Beautiful story told by 3 of my fave actors. Thank you again for a beautiful experience. Love the acting & watching the behind the scenes stuff made things even funnier b/c it makes u relize how normal every1 really is. I really enjoyed this drama and I know others that watch will too.



The only thing that I had probs w/ was the whole medical part at the end. I worked in the medical field for 6 yrs. If he had probs w/ his liver he would have had jaundice from lack of liver function. Also, if he and his bro were going to be in surgery then they would have been in a clean room for those 3 days b-4 they had the surgery. Mostly to protect his bro b/c of his current heart condition. Ok so fantacy does not always touch reality. But, they could have at least made it a little more realistic.



Everything else was amazing. I love how they allude to how his illnes is the reason for him being pissy (Mel for bad-tude) all the time.

I just finished watching this drama a couple hours ago and I have to say it was really really good (: I agree with the other reviews when they say this drama isn't boring and has you on the edge of your seat. It's a roller coaster ride of emotion throughout the whole show. I've never come across a show filled up with so much hate and betrayal. I don't think I've hated a character as much as I did the step mother, who I felt myself not liking more and more as I watched each episode. In the beginning you have Eun Sung who comes back from studying abroad in America and her bag winds up getting switched with Hwan. As the story takes off from there you have these 2 characters continuously running into each other. She and her brother get kicked out by her stepmother, and not long after she loses her brother, Eun-Woo who is autistic. Majority of the show she's looking for him. While trying to make money she finds and starts to take care of this grandmother who's lost her memory. I don't want to say too much more, as I'd be giving away the story. Each episode had me guessing at what would happen next, and of course it leaves you hanging so you have to watch the next episode. This show made me cry, laugh, angry, but happy. Then you have the love triangles. It really is filled with a lot of drama and confliction, but that's what made it so good.



The acting in this show, well like the title it was Brilliant! You can really feel for the characters while watching it. I dunno how to describe it, but the acting was realistic. This was the first show I watched with Lee Seung Ki and Han Hyo Joo, and I plan on watching more dramas with them. And whoever played the step mom should've got an award. I hated her character but her acting was really good. Seung Mi's character... I liked her in the beginning but you feel her falling under pressure as the events continue. Her character was played really well, you could feel how hard she wanted to keep what was hers (or what she felt was hers). Jun Sae's character... I liked him. I felt bad for him later on in the story, he is a good guy. I'm glad at how the story ended, though.



As for the music...I liked it. The music played it's part and I liked a lot of the songs played throughout the show.



Will I rewatch this drama? Probably not anytime soon (too many dramas I wanna watch). Maybe a couple years from now I'll rewatch it. 28 episodes is a lot to get through (almost 3O hours total), but I think that watching this show was worth it.



Overall: Definitely worth watching. The story is really good, indeed like Cinderella in ways (evil step mom, step sister, "Prince Charming"). It makes you think about what money does to people. I'd have to count this as one of my favorites now (: And I loved Lee Seung Ki as Hwan haha, but that's my personal opinion
