This is one of the most in-depth slightly cheesy romance dramas I have seen, and I have to admit that I am loving it. If you are just looking for the normal elements of drama (hot men, cheesy romance, undying love, fights, jealousy, love triangles and squares), this has is all. It just presents it in a way that for once is not entirely brainless or cliche.
The characters at first come across as superficial, and perhaps unappealing in their stupidity at times. But by the end of the second episode, they have significantly developed. This story embodies that tactic that Asian dramas do so well--just when you think you abhor a character you find out that they had good reasons for being so annoying and your whole outlook changes. There are no truly good or bad people, just normal, everyday characters learning to live with the very real problems in life.
Ultimately this is a story about what makes healthy love and relationships. The best friends who have little in common but undying devotion to one another. Those people who relate to one another because they love the same things. The enemies that you just love to fight with, and who ultimately you are far closer to than you ever expected. The love of parents, as it should be and as it shouldn't be. The boyfriend and girlfriend who love like teenage girls dream of but who find that this type of love is too Romeo/Julietesque for their own good. It deals with destructive love and destructive relationships. This is a look at humanity and how they interact, and the writers have done a fabulous job at making their characters multifaceted. I highly recommend this show because of its unique approach to these much loved themes.

1-The reason I watched this : Just because I wanted to watch a romantic film, I found this by mere chance on some site so I decided to watch it and I am glad I gave it a chance.

2-Storyline/Plot : At first, I felt it's just the same plot as other rom-coms films that I've seen before (nothing different), I was even a little disappointed. However, as the film went on I became extremely amazed and I kept having this question in my mind: "how could the story turn around like that?"; I really appreciated the turn it took.

3-Acting/Cast : It's the first time that I see those two actors; I believe they've done a great job in this film. I wil be looking forward to see them in other productions.

4-Music : Yes, I appreciated the music because it was cool somehow; not too loud not too smooth.

5-Rewatch value : Hmmm, since this film contain a final twist, I believe it would be useless to watch it since you've already seen the core of the film.

6-The ending : One of the greatest endings that I've ever seen in chinese romantic comedy films; the twist at the end was so nicely done.
Wriiters managed to fool us around until the very last end, I really didn't expect or anticipate that: I really love it when an ending surprises me.

7-Overall: At first I was going to give this a 5 or a 6 but then when the twist came along I became greatful that I gave this film a chance; it totally deserves the time that I wasted on it.

P.S : Don't be fooled by the summary or the publicity pictures; this film has something that will surprise you because it's not your usual dumb romantic comedy film.

1-The reason I watched this : It seemed interesting at the time, staying home in a rainy day and having nothing else to do so I gave it a try.

2-Storyline/Plot : At first, I admit that I was intrested because the way it started seemed promesing. However, as the film went on I felt like something was wrong, the general story isn't bad but the way events were combined together didn't look great to me.
The storyline took a wrong turn since events became to sound so dull and uninteresting. Moreover, this isn't a unique special story to give it credit for its originality.

3-Acting/Cast : I'm not familiar with the leads plus I didn't like any of them but I've got to admit that the acting department was well done so it was fair enough: Good acting but bad characters.

4-Music: I don't actually remember the music even though I haven't seen this film a long time ago.

5-Rewatch value : I can't imagine myself watching it again, I thought it was a mistake watching it once how about repeating it.

6-The ending : The kind of ending that you would imagine it from the beginning so no big deal.

7-Overall : Not the kind of film that i would recommend but everyone is free to choose what they want; it's just my opinion.

1-The reason I watched this : I was in my friend's place while she was watching the 1st episode, I watched it along with her then I literally fell in love; I went home and finished the whole drama in two days.

2-Storyline/Plot : That's what captured me about this drama; the story about revenge, hate, action and even romance, the whole concept was was so deep.
Every episode i get amazed by events and several twists that made it very appealing whether it was action twists or romantic developments.

3-Acting/Cast : After this drama Yamashita Tomohisa became one of my favorite actors; he really did his role perfectly; the kind of cold, affectionate character that made me very invested in his character. There were Horikita Maki too, she was cool but not that great as a character. I actually loved the acting department though there were too many weird characters.

4-Music : Yes I remember the music, it was quite good.

5-Rewatch value : There are a lot of moments that deserve the rewatch plus it's short therefore, it's easy to do so.

6-The ending : I liked it even though i was expecting more but either ways it was nice plus there's the film so it's not actually an "end"

7-Overall : Kurosagi is a drama that can make anyone fall in love especially action-revenge lovers (as myself).
I had so much fun while watching it. My all time favorite part when Kurosagi says "Bang"!

The first couple episodes were really good, the middle episodes were either frustrating due to too much indecisiveness on the male lead's part, and the latter episodes were ok although they still made me a bit frustrated. Also the CEO going after CH was just wierd and how manipulative he was made me angry and creeped out.

This is just an ok arranged marraige drama when compared to Sweet 18, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

The acting was fine as the characters all had their strengths, flaws, and unique presonalities without an excess of overacting. I don't think I'll watch this again because there are dramas I enjoyed more that are less frustrating which equals a no go for me on rewatch value.

I thought the general idea for the plot was unique and fun, but I really felt bad for the main guy as he was "tortured" by the girl disguised as a guy. The blind date breakup plot in the beginning was really funny and enjoyable to watch. The main thing that p.o.'d me was how the grandmother changed her opinion of the girl when she found out she was a girl and not a guy. I was also a bit disgusted like the other user about the guy liking her as a guy -it was just akward and just plain wrong on so many levels.

The acting by all parties was excellent, as the emmotions and reactions were so realistic and not over the top when compared to other k-dramas. Music was fine, I must admit the intro song was adorable, and I would rewatch this again at a later date when I get through most of the dramas on my to watch list.

This is one of the dramas I "watched" via recaps, as I wanted to watch a drama but didn't have much extra time so that was the fastest way to see one. Overall the plot of this drama stared out strong, but the later episodes were lacking (I had attempted to watch this drama in the past, but I couldn't stand the mother and it was a bit confusing). I found this drama a bit frustrating, but it did start and end well which is often the case for dramas.

Acting was very, very good as the mother could easily get under my skin and the girls did well in their roles. If it wasn't for the good acting I don't think this drama would have faired as well in my book

Music again was fine, but I don't have too big of an opinion since I predominantly "watched" this via recaps. I don't think I'll watch this again, because there are more dramas I really want to watch that I haven't seen and I'd much rather rewatch a fav. drama instead of this one.

The plot was very unique -a "baby faced" 34 year old women has to lie about her age in order to get a position she wants in the fashion world- and I thought it was a really cute drama. However in the middle I got a little bored with all the design competitions, as they got repetive and a bit old. Also the conflict with they guy's father and her father was a bit exasperating.

The acting was very good on all parties, and I thought the male lead was so perfect at being annoying and immature one minute to really sweet and thoughtful the next. The music was fine and I would probably rewatch this drama if I ever have more free time, althought I would skip a couple of the middle episodes. I thought this could have been done in fewere episodes for more of a "wow" factor and it would have made the plot less draggy in the middle. If you're looking for a not too serious and cute drama this is the way to go.

Indeed! A great story combined with real acting skills by the actors. I can't even tell a single thing on how to describe the whole movie... Fantastic?Heartwarming?Tearjerker? Ommo, help me! hehehe. Well, I decided to watch it wasn't recommended but it was indeed ranked one (recent movie as rated). I read the plot summary first, then told myself" ah, so this movie is about friendship" I scrolled my mouse and looked for the website that has it. Then, I saw it. 7 parts. At first, I thought I was a bit confused with the story, maybe because that's JUST the beginning of the story (actually, that's my weakness) but then I told myself again " what if I'll just drop this down"( well that's really like me, if I didn't like the start of every drama or movie, i just, well... drop them). But then, I asked myself" Are you sure? Remember this movie is ranked ONE. So, as I decided to continue watching it, I realized that this movie really has it all! OSTs, the actors, plot, and I will not have a second thought of watching it again, because for me it is very inspiring. Then, I told myself" I hope we(friends) will not be able to experience this"( hardships) but then, if no one is perfect, so is the friendship that I have with my friends right? We do have conflicts with our friends but we come to solve and face them with the help of one another. That's what I've learned. And, uhm,.. ahem. I never thought Kang Sora and Shi Woo would be there.haha Dream High2 and Love Rain. The production got the bestest of the best. All of them did a great job. They deserve a round of applause! Clap!clap!clap!
p.s if you plan to watch Sunny, then prepare a box full of tissue. (based from experience) ;) This is Kris now signing off. Annyeong!

I technically didn't watch the last 5-6 episodes as I skipped to the last one, but I felt I didn't really need to.

The story was ok for first 13-14 episodes, a couple of draggy episodes in that group, and then it dragged like crazy until the last ep hence why I skipped them (I admit I'm curious about how a couple things got resolved, but I need a break from this drama before watching those ep's).

Acting and music were fine, but nothing exceptional. Rewatch value was a 4 only because, while I thought it was overall a fine drama there are definately better ones to rewatch out there.

I have to say I'm rather conservative with my ratings and I rarely give out tens -I guess I'm waiting for a drama that completely blows my mind away even though this came close.

The plot was excellent, although I really wish both the female lead and the guy's mom would have just told the truth sooner than they did to make the story "easier", but then it would have been less realistic. This drama had a bit of second lead syndrome, aka where you want the girl to end up with the other guy, at parts but I liked how they resolved all the conflicts.

Acting of everyone was exceptional and I thought the little boy was super adorable and excellent in his role!! I will rewatch this someday and I highly recommend seeing this drama at least once.

What happen to this drama??
it was I thought while watching this drama..
the story was quite interesting at the first time,,But then it's changed being miserable.. It made me disappointed.. After completing this drama I read some news that the writer has been changed to increase the ratings.. Are you serious? It even worse than before..

I hope something more from this one.. Unfortunately,I didn't get it..
Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan were quite promising.. But it can't help to make this drama looks outstanding.. However, overall I still give 6 for this one. At least for some episodes were entertain enough..
