Not everyone's cup of tea. I found this drama to be funny, scary, and ridiculous all at the same time. This drama takes a different light to the idea of being a vampire and plays with it a bit.

Yes there are cheesy parts, and yes Rion is annoying but the Suou chacter is the scene stealer. He is funny, thinks he is charismatic and though he's been a vampire he still seems to forget his limitations. He's a 'good' vampire thats trying to resist killing humans and is constantly helping Rion though he doesnt want to.

there is something for everyone in this drama: There is some blood/gore but its really corny. There is some biting, and boy is it melodramatic. The whole thing centers around a host club so there is some sexy. lol.

the episodes are 30 min so they go quickly, take a chance and watch it- its fun!

Most vampire stories are bloody, funny, sexy, or any of those combinations. This story is not. If youve read the synopsis then you see its about a boy who became a vampire and meets his love who is now an adult. To become a full vampire he has to suck someone's blood and he will have full powers. The ending felt rushed and extremly disappointing. I fast forwarded through most of the predictible screenplay. I felt like I wasted hours of my life I could never get back.

A lot of the concepts are not explained and some common vampire myths are incorporated. Its confusing what happened to him after he was turned vampire as a teen, as to why hes in the same city as he was born in, why his sensetivities change and a lot of other things. The highlight was looking at the cute cute Nakayama Yuma, and the ending music.

If you like vampire stories check out Vampire Host Club- its better

Story- The high school episodes were funny. The college years were frustrating and some were a bore. The last couple episodes were super amazing. The end was cute. Even so, How the relationship develops between the leads is very strange. They go from being a no way in hell to very serious but without any real development in between. Thats why I cant give a higher score for the story.

Acting/Cast- The leads did a great job in thier role. The actress that played Oh Ha Ni acted well as the immature stalkerish girl to a grown up person who knows what they want. I loved KHJ in BOF but disliked his character in PK. He did a great job acting as the snobby emotionless Baek Seung Jo. BSJ really got on my nerves though. He never showed enough emotion to Ha Ni which made thier relationship in the end really strange. Hated his character!! The supporting cast was funny and served thier purpose.

Music- Some cool music nothing too in your face.

Overall- Could have been written better but the end was a welcome surprise.

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho is an offbeat romance written by the popular Hong Sisters.

Story- This is a well written comedy romance. Not only is it super funny but there is an actual plot. There are actual events taking place while we are being entertained. Its not a predictable story either. Id say its only fault would be the end. The ending wasn't horrible but I just didnt love it.

Acting/Cast- This was my first introduction to Shin Min Ah. She WAS Gumiho in everyway. Lee Seung Ki did his usual comedy thing but was convincing when it came to his emotional scenes. No Min Woo though stole the show in my opinion. I loved loved all the side characters, they were so much fun to watch and really added to the show.

Music- Best score ever and I liked a lot of the songs on the OST enough to put on my ipod.

Rewatch- I could rewatch this every year cause it was so entertaining.

Story- Starts of hilariously. The male leads in fat suit getting ready to be married to his love. She leaves him at the alter and after many years he comes back as a hottie pro golfer. Of course he wants to rub it in her face and she just wants him back for his money. Or does she? The drama\''\''s only weakness is the plot drags a lot in the middle. The end is cute tho!

Acting/Cast. Everyone in this drama can act. Oh Ji Ho is funny as always and is the Korean Brad Pitt. The female lead is so likable even though her character is suppose to be unlikable. You root for her. The supporting female I despise. She is sooo annoying! The second male lead is a good actor but his looks make his rival role not believable. You def cannot compare him to Oh Ji Ho!!

Music- ordinary

Rewatch- Not rewatchable in my opinion.

Overall- A drama with potential so watch maybe the first 8 episodes than skip to the last 2 or 3 eps. Believe me you dont miss much...

Although I had no idea who any of the main actors were in this, the synopsis sounded something like i hadnt seen before so i decided why not give it a try...

Story: The idea really was fresh and had potential. However the episode count really was too much for the execution of the plot. This made continuously watching unbearable. The main plot was the big mystery of who is the main guy's father. This was drawn out till the very end, which made each episode repetitive and also contributed to the unbearbleness. The romance is also put on the back burner. The last episode though is fantastic!

Acting: I wasn't fond of the main leads being together. They had zero chemistry. The female lead's character was really unlikable. I actually preferred the second leads realationship. Thier acting really stands out and they made you root for them. The supporting cast all acted really well.

Music: not memorable.

Rewatch: I dont think so.

Overall this drama could have been done so much better. I recommend you watch maybe the first 10 episodes and skip to the last 2 episodes. Believe me you aren't missing much.

Story- Reality mixed with drama. Even though this is a romantic comedy, the comedy is at the expense of Kim Sam Soon. I felt like the drama just really wanted to point out at every chance they get that KSS is an embarrassment. A little weak with carrying out the plot. I agree with someone else that says its confusing at times. The ending is very confusing and unnecessary.

Acting/Cast- Kim Sun Ah annoyed me in this (amazing in City Hall tho). Her voice was annoying and maybe its her character that made me not like her. I really don't like Sam Soon. Hyun Bin is a brilliant actor but his character was really unlikable because of his wishy washyness. The supporting actress was really good, I felt bad for her! Most people don't like Daniel Henney but I thought he was sweet and... hot of course LOL. I feel like he did stuck out like a thumb but I felt he tried his best in the role he was given. I liked the actress who played KSS sister, she was funny!

Music- Clazziqai is amazing. They sing 2 songs on the OST.

Rewatch- Its rewatchable but not on my "have to watch this again" list.

Overall- With a little improvement this could have been on my top 10. Very good but not worth all the buzz.

I honestly don't know why I started watching Nodame Cantabile just because 1. I dont like classical music and 2. I didnt know who any of the cast was...

Story- It was hilarious but also inspiring. Other than that the plot is pretty ordinary.

Acting/Cast- The acting was perfect. Loved the entire cast because they fit their roles perfectly. I'm a new fan of Tamaki=D

Music- Wonderful score that matched the theme of the show. I wasn't interested in listening to the music outside of the show though. I do have more respect for classical music though after watching this.

Rewatch- Because it was so entertaining and I loved the cast I'd watch this every year.

Overall Nodame Cantabile is different but I'm glad I gave it a chance. Its one of the best J dramas out there. So watch it!

Story- Suspenseful. Somehow even though the plot is simple, you still want to watch to see what happens in the next episode. The ending was nice. The episode count needed to be shortened to 16.

Acting/Cast- Moon Goon Young was chilling as the evil cinderella. The second female lead is annoying but still likeable. I really felt sorry for her. The male lead is amazing. The supprting cast are all great actors.

Music- Very good songs that make he drama flow.

Rewatch- Id watch this two years from now.

Overall- The phenomenal acting will keep you watching till the end.

The story was well written, hilarious, and melodramatic in the right places. The ending was awesome!

I like LDH and feel like she fit her role perfectly. LDW was very attractive but he can't act! He feels like a statue to me. They also didnt have any chemistry which ruined the romance portion. I liked the second male lead better. The second female lead cant act! I hated her character. The rest of the supporting cast was just okay.

I really liked the music. Fit well with the changing tone of the show.

Average rewatch value just because the cast wasn\''t spectacular.

Overall I really loved this drama because of the writing and the music. It couldve been better with better casting but I would still one of the better older dramas.

Oh My Lady is a well written drama being that the story is your average older woman/younger man relationship scenario. It actually gets better and better with each episode, especially during the second half. The ending is simple but happy.

The cast was alright. I wan't really in love with any of the characters but all the actors made them believable. I do have to give a shout out to the child actors. They were so adorable!

The music was just okay nothing memorable though and I'm not sure Id rewatch this or not just because I wasn't too fond of the cast.

Overall this was pretty good and worth watching once.

Story- Very different from most stereotypical K Dramas. It incorporates pretty much all the genres which consited of comedy, action, romance, music themed. The pace is good but some episodes did feel longer than others. The ending was cute and one of the best endings in a drama ever!

Acting/Cast- Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won had excellent chemistry even though they are complete opposites. The supporting cast was fantastic!

Music- Beautiful score & OST.

rewatch- because there are a ton of funny moments & the cast is just awesome, Id watch this once a year.

Overall- This drama is the best korean drama ever made!

Story- Not your conventional kdrama. This is very politically driven which didn't appeal to me a first. I got to say though you will learn a lot about politcs. The drama offers many hilarious moments and many frustrating moments as well. This adds to the obsession factor. However, There's a couple of episodes when they are running for the elections which made me lose interest so I had to take off 1 point for that. Awesome ending!

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 story imitates real life. Friendship turns into romance. Basic very straightforward story. It's one of the better realistic dramas. very refreshing actually.

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.
