This drama has shaped up to be one of my favorite dramas of all time!



Everything about this drama was amazingly done.The 2 main leads (MIN-MIN Couple) provided all sorts of emotions. The supporting cast was phenomenal...prosecutor and heck even the evil dad Lee Jin-Pyo was amazing...and I give props to Hara because she was actually quite good for her debut drama. Lee Minho stepped into something new taking on an action drama unlike his 2 previous dramas with BOF and Personal Taste. The story plot was one of the best I've seen. One of the biggest and most exciting twist to a story from start to finish Ive seen in a while or should I say in any kdrama...ever. Every episode gives you something to look forward to, very suspenseful at most times because it provides some VERY GOOD cliffhangers, its hard to predict whats going to happen unlike some other dramas. Even though I see this as a thriller drama, the 2 main leads gave off very cute moments and the loveline was freaking great! I was ONLY slighty disappointed in the ending because THERE WAS NO KISS to make it complete. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS DRAMA TO ANYONE. VERY EXCITING!!! TOO BAD IT WAS ONLY 20 EPISODES....

This drama is quite different from Tsukasa Hojo's City Hunter, so do not wait for the lecherous Ryo Saeba :P... I adore the seriousness of it and the actors are amazing... from the charismatic Lee Yoon Sung, the strong-willed Kim Nana...the amazing Kim Young Joo ♥ to the main antagonist! This drama will make you cry, boil with anger and is one with a suspense to keep you on edge.

Even if the investigation and special effects lack a bit of professionalism, this drama is my favorite so far.. it is far from the boring, common, predictable k-drama.

I can't think of anyone giving a negative review for this drama... so watch it and you will not regret your 20 hours spent on it ;)

So this is an update review after rewatching it a 2nd time...

Story: A predictable HILARIOUS well paced romcom about the entertainment industry. Had an awesome ending!!

Cast/Acting: Cha Sung Won was PERFECT as Doko Jin. Really I dont know anyone who could have played him better. He had a subtle chemistry with Gong Hyo Jin (same tame natural acting style you see in every drama). I didnt really care for the supporting characters as their scenes tended to bore me. That was kind of disappointing because the Hong Sisters usually tend to write interesting supporting characters that I love in addition to the main characters.

Music: Catchy songs for the drama but I was disapointed that it wasnt as good as their past OSTs that get me to download them.

Rewatch: Being super hilarious Ill watch this again in the future when I want a good laugh.

Final Thoughts: This is a must watch if you like romcoms and are a fan of Cha Sung Won.

My Favorite thing about this drama was definitely Cha Seung Won and his Dokko Jin. So different and outrageous from the usual rom-com leading man. I absolutely fell head over heels with this completely ridiculous and relentlessly endearing character. Gong Hyo Jin's Goo Ae Jung was a perfect match for him (almost like his straight man most of the time) and they created completely convincing, adorable, and hilarious chemistry.



The story line is a little ho-hum for me which is why I put off watching it until about 8 episodes were already out (also because Goo Ae Jung's hairstyle seriously repelled me, but that's a small thing and I eventually got over it as it seemed to match her character and the drama after all). My opinion of it didn't improve much after finishing the drama, but it was handled better than I thought it would be.



Despite the story keeping this drama from, in my opinion, being a perfect 10, this was an exceptionally entertaining summer drama. I laughed out loud at least a handful of times every episode, which rarely happens, and I would happily sit down to watch this again, which also rarely happens. The supporting cast is delight to watch and the "2nd female" is handled in a refreshing way. The costumes are an absolute hoot and the sets are colorful and a delight to the eyes. Definitely one of those rom-com dramas whose head sticks above the rest.



Another of my favorite elements was how this drama pointed out that celebrities are real people as well and they are deeply affected by those "thoughtless" comments that come out of people's anonymous fingertips. I would hope that to some, at least, it got across how stupid it is to write viscous things like that. I can't understand anyone who would do that in the first place, but hopefully they think next time they open their mouth or log into their anonymous accounts.



Definitely make a point to watch this heart-warming, refreshing, and seriously funny drama. It's not perfect, it has a few flaws besides just the story, but there are so many great things about this, it's not one to be missed.

I liked the show at the beginning, but it started feeling as an anti-climax as the end was near. I was really disappointed by the final episode. I don't know, it just wasn't what I expected.



I liked the story though, I just kinda felt the magic was gone in the middle of the series.

The music was really great, I loved every song (and downloaded them).

The actors were also good, although it wasn't always believable (partly the story to blame), I enjoyed watching Ah Jung's crazy outbursts.

Re-watch value is low, since this is a series I won't forget so easily and I personally don't like re-watching things, but that can differ for each person individually.



Overall, I would give this series an 8, because it kept me interested till the end and that is the meaning of a show, so they succeeded in this. This drama is recommendable, since I really wanted to keep watching and knowing what happened next. That's the thing that counts, isn't it?



I hope this helps ;)

The movie is very....cute. that's the word. is cute. if u like cute things you should watch it.:) i liked the acting a lot. both Byeol and Joon-soo were interesting. the only thing is that the plot is loosing it's essence cuz the movie is too short. the main thing was the baby of course, but in my opinion, the fact that the story does not have a bigger concentration on the other peoples life, is loosing a big point. of course Jang Geun-Suk was great, but i mean really great in this movie. his acting was impeccable. i think i'm gonna re watch this sometime.

( I saw the movie last night. i dreamed that i had a baby, it was cute and smiling. i'm having a great day cus i woke up in a good mood )

I'm gonna start off by saying, this is one of the cutest Japanese dramas ever! Taguchi and the main actress are so cute together. The scenes with her father and him together are laugh out loud funny. The story was mainly about her and her father, which I believe a lot of daughters of crazy fathers can relate too. The only problems I had were that I would have loved some more intamite scenes and that I didnt like the songs that much, but they still were a good fit for the drama (I just like catchy Jpop better.) This drama is short and sweet, not filled with too much useless crap like some other dramas I know (Taiwanese dramas I'm looking at you *.*) Watching this drama made me want to see Taguchi in other dramas. However, I am pleasantly surprised to see the main actress in more dramas. She is such a good actress and really pretty. I would watch this drama again if I wasnt so behind on other dramas and had to work. I would recommend this if you are looking for a short and sweet romantic comedy.

Normally I don't write a review when there is already 2 posted, but I had to get across a different view point for you folks. "Smile, you" a heartwarming family drama about the ups and downs of dealing with family. It has a few bits of comedy and drama, but its main attraction is how the whole family is front and center.

I didn't like this drama because it was too long, the story line and the dialogue seemed extremely repetitive, and not to mention some of the characters were annoying. Word around the web was the drama was extended and it shows. I got officially bored with this drama around ep22, and literally skipped a few episodes and could totally pick up on what was happening, as if I didn't miss anything at all. After ep 30 it seems as if they are literally dragging out the ending to milk additional episodes out. The arguments seemed the same over and over again, in real life I think it would work better , on screen the repetitiveness became annoying.

I liked all the actors (except the mothers), all of the actors were totally likeable. I also really loved the first episodes, because the initial premise was different from anything else I had seen. In short I feel as if I have wasted hours of my life- but I'm not really too upset. There was a happy ending (very predictable) and a few cute guys.
