Acting/Cast- Kim Sun Ah really really impressed me here. I did not like her in Kim Sam Soon so I was weary about her role in this drama. Man I was so shocked that she was hilarious and likeable. The growth of her character was really great to watch. Cha Sung Won was very charismatic and sly in his role. I really became a fan of his in this. Both leads had sizzling chemistry. The supporting cast was a bit annoying at times but they were great.
Music- Only a couple of songs in this one. The theme song will get in your head forever LOL.
Rewatch- Because of the OTP was so intense I definitely could watch this twice a year.
Overall- Unexpectedly amazing show which you will watch more than once.

The acting is very natural by everyone. You believe the large group of friends have been friends for a while. They make you want to be a part of their group. The leads had a good romantic chemistry that made you frustrated that they didn't get together sooner.
I'll probably rewatch this a while from now just because the story wasn't too out of the ordinary.
Overall this offers a piece of real life that you will also take a way something from.

Story: Starts off with the two leads randomly bumping into each other on a set of a commercial. The first 2 episodes are hilarious as the male lead starts to fall in love with the female lead ( who was his past love) but he hasnt seen what she looks like in the present (shes changed for the worst). Although this drama is a predictable romcom, the writers did a solid job with making it entertaining but also writing a story with substance. It has one of the best endings Ive ever seen.
Acting/Cast: Jung Joon Ho (Iris, Queen of Reversals) brings IT in this one. His jealousy makes the show. His character is too hilarious. All his expressions are priceless! The lead actress did a great job portraying her ahjumma character. It was nice to see her transform from an ugly duckling to a pretty woman. Loved the makeover scene!
I did find the way the writers wrote her character a little off-putting at times because at first she comes off as naive/too obsessed with her first husband and it takes most of the drama before she convinces herself its okay to love Jae Bin. The rest of the supporting cast is great too!
Music: Kind of chessy but didnt take away from the enjoyment of the drama itself.
Rewatch: Quick pacing makes this something i can watch over and over again if i had the time.
Overall: This is geared to an older audience but if a 22 year old girl (me) is raving about it then it has to be really good right? Watch it!

Story: Fast paced and unpredictable, revenged themed, with an angsty love-line thrown in. The ending is WTF!
Acting/Cast: This my first Lee Byung Hun led drama. Well what an introduction it was! Not only is he good looking but he is an amazing actor that was made for this role. He had such an amazing chemistry with Kim Tae Hee. Although I really like her, I think Kim So Yeon kind of stole the show. All of the rest of the lead and supporting actors were perfect. They really casted this one well! Just be prepared to see some characters come and go...
Music: Actually a really good mix that fit when the mood changed (romantic to action scenes).
Rewatch: I loved the entire cast and the plot was exciting so I definitely will watch this one again but not for a bit case the ending left a bitter taste.
Final Thoughts: I dare anyone who hasnt seen this to give it a try if they want an exciting 20 hour ride!

Prosecutor Princess
30 personnes ont trouvé cette critique utile
Story: The first half of the drama masks itself as an ordinary romcom in a law setting. Its enjoyable but not anything ive never seen before. Now after episode 9 hits you will think your starting to watch a whole new drama. The second half is filled with a revenge plot and also a frustrating angsty romance. I liked that it was a romcom but withan actual plot. I loved the ending!!
Acing/Cast: I already knew PSH is a great actor but I was really surprised by Kim So Yeon. Her character in the beginning can come off as an annoying ditsy and materialistic brat but the writers give her a personality makeover and lots of character growth so bear with her. The leads though were perfectly casted cause their chemistry was HOT! I liked the second lead couple but wished their relationship started a bit earlier in the drama because it was kind of unbelievable how they become a couple by the end. Really liked the supporting cast and cared about their characters.
Music: At first I found 2 of the songs annoying as they played them over and over in the beginning but they matched the theme well enough. I liked the rest of the songs they used throughout enough to put on my ipod.
Rewatch: I can see myself watching this every year just to see the leads together on my screen=)
Overall Prosecutor Princess is not what it seems so give it a chance or you'll be missing out on one of the best romcoms of 2010!

Stars Falling From the Sky

The story idea was new and very interesting. Its more of a family drama with a few twists which keeps the plot interesting and never boring. This drama is very well written and deserves its 20 episode count. My only critique would be the ending. It could have ended better.
The lead actress was superb in her role. Her character growth is one of the best I've ever seen in a drama. I feel like anyone could have played the main guy's role. His character was quite boring also. However, I really liked the second male leads i.e. the brothers who vie for the romantic affections of our female heroine. Their characters had depth and provided fun.
Music was not memorable.
I'd watch this again because I was engaged in the story.
Overall this is a heartwarming drama filled with life lessons.

How to Meet a Perfect Neighbor
22 personnes ont trouvé cette critique utile
Story: Too long, messy, draggy. I felt uncomfortable watching at times just because the romance was too weird. It really pissed me off. The ending was kind of dumb. In all honesty I didnt like it at all but it was watchable enough that I didn't fast forward.
Acting/Cast: I thought the casting for most characters were spot on. However, Park Shi Hoo's acting was a bit bland. I dodn't know if its the fact I hated his character or if his acting really was bad back then but yeah didnt like it one bit. I also wanted to mention my distaste for the way the writers changed Bae Doo Na's character. She started off as this tough chick but by the end of the drama she turned weak even willing to be a mistress! I was just shocked and very annoyed at that.
Music: Don't remember it but i dont think it affected anything.
Rewatch: I could never watch this again or Id have to rip my hair out.
Overall, I'd say this drama is watchable but you might not enjoy it.

This drama series has a few good soundtracks. I like 'Can't Believe It' by Younha the most.
On a side note, I would like to say a few things regarding the outfits of the actors. The ladies were well dressed as per their character. I especially liked Wang Ji Hye's hairstyle. But the problem seemed to lie with the men- Lee Min Ho's slightly-above-the-knee length coat looked kind of weird if you ask me. I don't know if that's the fashion among the men in Korea but whatever; I didn't like it. Also he carried this handbag while going to his office which made him look girly. I couldn't help but notice this. Talking about Kim Ji Suk, his coat and pants occasionally had funny color combination. Like in one episode, he wore a black coat and red pants!
Overall, this is a good watch if you are a rom-com fan. It has a good story line, a bunch of funny moments to make you smile and moments which will make you go 'awww'. However, I don't think I will re-watch it.

It doesn't take long before the audience figures out all the truths in the drama but the writing is exception in my opinion. The acting of the cast, especially the main leads, was well worth watching. The kids of the drama, in the first few episodes, also do an amazing job acting out their parts. The filming and ost of the drama are beautiful and touching.
I gave the acting a 9 because the second female lead can sometimes frustrate the viewer with her general lack of common sense/courtesy. Rewatch value is a 6 because it is a slower-paced drama that is amazing the first time around. The second time around you know all that's going to happen and will just skip the irrelevant parts and watch the parts you remember and loved.
I recommend giving this drama a chance if you enjoy the korean romcom genre with a lot of melodrama.

This is my 2nd dorama! I watched it this year in January during my winter vacation. Prior to watching it, I had read the story in Wikipedia so I knew how it was going to end up as I have seen and heard several such stories. Yet I was curious to watch it because it seemed to be inspiring. I had lost inspiration to do my work and was in urgent need of it. And needless to say, this drama did inspire me a lot. I love the entire cast. Whether the main leads or the supporting characters, all of them act brilliantly. There are many things about this drama that I love. Seeing the happy moments that Aya-chan (Sawajiri Erika) and her family have are a treat. Those moments made me smile. Not to mention, Nishikido Ryo has done an awesome job. In the beginning, I kinda didn't like him because he didn't show any emotions at all but later on, I just fell for him. The romance between Sawajiri Erika and Nishikido Ryo is simple and sweet. Romance doesn't need to be portrayed by hugs and kisses always. This drama also brings forth the low mentality of some people in our society, and how physically disabled people are looked down upon.
I gave this story a 9 because I was not satisfied with the ending. The last few minutes, I feel, were rushed. Also there is another fact about the ending which I dislike but I don't think it is correct to mention it here as it maybe considered as a spoiler.
The music is a full 10/10. I love the OST and whenever I listen to it, I become emotional.
I'd re-watch it someday but probably not now because every episode is fresh and vivid in my mind. I'll probably watch it again a year or two later when I'm in need of some inspiration.
Overall, this is a great drama series and it certainly should be in your list. Even if you hate tragic stories, you should give it a try.

I liked this drama because its a sweet story about changing who you are to be someone else only to find out that all the fancy clothes and money wasn\'\'t needed. the girl in the story truly loved the nerd in all his weirdness.
This drama doesn\'\'t take itself seriously and the majority is comedy, but there are some \'\'crying in the rain scenes\'\'.
I liked rainie yang in this drama and she had great chemistry with Show. Show played this well because you wouldnt have guessed it was him a first.
