Reviews

This drama, to me, is quite good in the fact that it is not a typical poor-girl-meets-rich-man type of drama. After watching fifteen episodes, you can definitely see that the show is reaching its end, but I think all of us that have seen the fifteenth episode are waiting with bated breath for the last episode! Its suspenseful to the very end is what I'm trying to say here. There are several different plot lines to this drama that all seem to weave into each other in a very cohesive, easy-to-follow way.

The acting in this drama is really quite good. Hye Kyo does an amazing job portraying the blind Oh Young, as I can imagine it would be very hard to act blind. Jo In Sung is also a very convincing actor, all his expressions are real and genuine, and that's what I love in a drama. Kim Bum and Eunji have amazing chemistry and are very good actors! All in all, the actors themselves are very convincing and emotional.

The only reason I gave this drama a seven for rewatch value is because I don't often watch dramas for a second or third time once I know what happens, especially in a melodrama like this. I might go back and pick up things I missed the first time, which isn't much, but I don't think I'll be watching it again.

Overall, I really like this drama. It's kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat the whole time. It has an intriguing plot line and I can't wait for the last episode!

I hope you found my review helpful, this was the first time I've written one :)

Storyline: is spectaclar. I love the idea of going back and forth from times.

Cast: is amazing! I'm a huge fan of Yoo Inna and she and Ji Hyun woo look fabulous together.

Music: It's enchanting! I could listen to evey single song on repeat for months and not get tired of anyone of them.

Rewatch Value: YES YES YES 10 10 10!!! I will watch this drama so many times before the years over. As soon as this drama ended I wanted to start right back over! It's so good. If I was in prison and they just so happened to have a TV set up in jail.. I would have no problem being in jail. Yeah probably the strangest way of putting it but seriously. REWATCH REWATCH REWATCH!!! :D

Overall: Usually I start dramas and 15 minutes into it I'll decide if I'll finish. This one I started and I was thrilled at the very biggining. I used to dislike historical dramas because I wasn't very familiar with Korean History. This one had me thrilled. I was up all night studying The Joseon Dynasty. By the end of the fourth episode I knew this would be on my Top drama list. By the end of the eighth episode I knew it was my absolute favourite, and it still is. All dramas make you feel different things. Such as: Laughing your head off, Jumping up and down out of excitement (usually because the main couple is being cute), Crying your heart out, And then you have those moments where you don't know what to think because it's an epic battle seen. This drama had the perfect amount of everything. Every moment in this drama was one or the other. No boring parts what so ever. I have absolutely nothing bad or negative to say about this drama. It's made of awesome.

I made sure to write a review for "Flower Boy Next Door" before "Flower Boy Ramyun Shop" because I wanted to compare the two of the three Flower Boy Series. And I realized that despite the story not being so interesting, the cast is just amazing. Jung Il Woo,Lee Ki Woo, Lee Chung Ah, Park Min Woo and Joo Yoon Woo collaborated so well. It seemed like they were playing this drama like a reality. Music's nice as well, especially at sad scenes. My favorite being Shayne's - Iyagi. Also if I 'm asked to pick out a favorite episode, Episode 16 was my favorite when Yang Eun Bi walks in President Cha's room and takes away Cha Chi Soo with a Toilet sucker in her hand! *laughs still* Its been almost more than 6 months I've watched it and yet it makes me laugh enormously!
Re watch Value's high because I really like the Comedy-more, Romance-medium genre.
Overall, the story's not so high notched but its definitely not the end of the world if you watch it ;)
P.S - Wanna have a laugh, go watch it, lighten your heart. It'll make you smile! :)

I am so proud of my Siwon for doing a weird role this time.

This is the kind of drama that becomes informative. It's the production side of the drama industry. I've learned a lot here and at the same time enjoyed the drama. It's a laughtrip kind and it promises to keep you out of boredom.

But halfway watching, I got that feeling of tiredness on the characters' side, where there are always these twists that aren't really fun and could really get tiring. But anyways..

There's Siwon to lighten up my mood. Being his biased fan, it was him who made me watch it. His last fluffy drama, where he played as an actor too, was a good one. Now it's an actor role again, only a really dumb but competitive one.

The main pairing is really fun to watch. The side story of Hyunmin and Minah being the stubborn actors fills in the comedy part. THE SOUNDTRACKS ARE DAEBAK TOO!! ?

This is deffinitely worth all 10.
I never would've thought that I could like a drama about people in their 40's but after watching this I can (without a doubt) say that I was SO VERY WRONG. This is realy one of the best dramas I've ever seen. From hilarious scenes to heart breaking ones - everything was outstanding.
The story about four 41-years-old men might seem boring and etc. but it's not even similiar to what you might think at first. For people to stay such a good friends for more than 20 years seems impossible but these men take friendship to the whole new level. From playing starcraft together (LOL) to leaving everything because something happened to one of the four seems so amazing. And even from the screens they make you wish to have friends like that because it feels like with them you don't need anything else.
The females of this drama are also very strong so it's even more amazing. And there aren't any anoying ones (well, at least for me there weren't) that everyone hates. They are ALL fantastic characters.
This was the first drama I've seen that had prologues at the beggining of the every episode,too. They are so amazing to watch. You just laugh and you can't stop laughing. It's one big LOL. xDD
Oh, right there were also guests like SooYoung and YongHwa. ^. ^

So, the last thing I want to say is that this is REALY amazing drama and you should definitely watch it. It's realy good if you want to laugh and laugh, and laugh again ;) ;D

ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

I'm not even sure what genre is this. But this is something fantastic. I watched this out of nowhere. But starting from episode 1 I got really hooked to it. I am also happy I discovered Lee Hyunjae, he's so gorgeous.

BETTER DOWNLOAD JAYWALKING & WAKE UP! Really their music.

This is an appreciation drama to the boys you don't like in school. The back-sitters, the i'm-glad-they're-absent group. The bad boys. But if they're as good looking as these men, I wouldn't mind.

Maybe I get to watch it because I know one cast, Myungsoo from Infinite. Then I get to know them all. The cast is fantastic. They have their own viewpoints and personalities. Very addicting.

This is my favorite of all time (and ofc, a guilty pleasure).

My Girl is a fluffy, comedy type. I've known this on a replay on Animax and fell inlove with it. The cutesy is addicting.

The soundtrack, especially the Never Say Goodbye, never gets old on my playlist! Everyone download it. Ppaliiiiiiii.

Back on the plot, it's depressing to get attached to the unsaid feelings of the two main characters. The situation was (SPOILER ALERT), Gongchan can't give up his feelings to Yoorin who agreed to pretend as his cousin. That's the plot twist and the heartache. Gah.

After all, the ending's good. Just as how I want it to end. ?

I am currently rewatching this.

I've rated the cast, music and rewatch value by 10 and I am not sorry. This is the kind of melodrama that is something new. Every character are different, and their motives are clear and valid. They're all strong. That's what I love about this drama the most.

THE MUSIC IS FANTASTIC btw.

The cinematography's daebak. Their scripts are well-written (or sometimes I wonder, well-translated too?). I have to give the story a 7 because I can get really sick of melodramas (but not for this drama). The plot, if you examine, is not really unique. The characters are just well-developed and consistent 'till the end. I love the arrangements of scenes. There are on-cut scenes on this episode which would soon be continued and explained on the next. Just wonderful.

If I am to list down my favorite scenes, I may get a limit writing down here.

But of course it has to have flaws, if you want me talking in a critic's perspectives. I wish I could spoil lol. But really. this became my favorite, and I finished everything in 7 days. I hope I didn't sleep.

King2Hearts is an amazing drama for people who want some kind of action put into a great twisted and turned story and awesome soundtrack to actually make you feel the tension. The cast is mind blowing, especially the villain doing the best acting. The plot is quite amazing, the way its directed for us is beautiful. Whoever wrote the story for this series, is a genius. The action and romance filled with complications of being from rival country. They portrayed a great underlying scene of the marriage of The South Korean prince to A North Korean Military Officer.
Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won have always been strong at acting. Seung Gi's ''My Girlfriend is A Gumiho'' was okay, but in this he definitely proves himself as an actor. Music's completely hooking with the "political" background plot. Re watch Value for me is quite high as I would love to watch it over again, when no interesting dramas premiere.
Overall, its good if you want to sit on your chair and flow with the story as it unfolds, translation : It keeps you hooked to your place! ;)

apart from being a supernatural movie, this drama has some comedy to it esp when it comes to the director and woong ah's aunt. he had a signature look his trenchcoat, glasses, toothpick and walk. when those two tried to interact it was the funniest thing. no min woo is mirror mirror on the wall, whos the fairiest of them all. and wats up with the specific music evrrrrrry time they showed min woo, hes too beautiful. i really loved the chemistry of the two it felt natural. seung ki may not be as good looking but hes a great actor mainly coz hes so good with emotional expressions and shin min ah was awsome too i even thought sometimes she was a gumiho. very funny and interesting show and the last episode i couldnt help but ball out soo emotional. the ost was also great and made it fun to watch.

This was a drama that I thought was okay, I ended up skipping over a lot. It is the first drama in which I have suffered from second-male lead syndrome.

Here it's not that the second male lead just stood by and watched either, he was straight-forward and acted on his feelings honestly from the beginning - it was the first male lead that took the longest time to say anything. That was a nice change, but the ending I think was what made me rate this drama lower that what it really could have and deserved to have been.

I think it suffered from an overall cliché storyline. I kind of knew exactly what was going to happen, even though there was ample opportunity to amp it up. I don't think it needed to be too much - the simple underdog storyline was nice, but personally I wished they hadn't played into the love triangle too much, or made it so serious towards the end.

They turned Addie/Eddie (Who happened to be my favourite character in this drama) into a shell of his former self. I enjoyed the fact that he was ambitious enough to aim for a higher job so that he wouldn't have to do 'bad' things any more, or make up an ad he didn't agree with - but in essence had to in order to get anywhere in the industry.

In contrast to that, we see Lee Tae Baek, who is the underdog and works really hard. I liked his character, his kindness was endearing and it was a nice change from the typical jerky leading man.

In that sense, I think Addie/Eddie was more realistic in terms of a character, I don't think you can go through life always doing 'the right thing' and then eventually succeeding. I think that in some cases some means justify an end - and in this case, doing something bad for the sake of a better future on the whole may work out well, which was the original intention for the character.

I really liked Baek Ji Yoon, she was straight-forward and not wishy-washy with her feelings from the beginning, however again towards the end I think her just going along with everything, it didn't suit her character and all it did was make me sympathise more with the second male lead - when I should have been rooting for the first male lead.

I believe the acting was pretty good all-round, nothing outstanding, but then again the story didn't call for extremes with emotions.

In terms of chemistry, my personal belief is that Addie/Eddie and Baek Ji Yoon had the best chemistry pairing wise - especially romantically, but I won't deny that Lee Tae Baek and Ji Yoon also had some sparks.

Overall an okay drama, I wouldn't re-watch again but it's okay on first watch. It has heart and warmth, but I still think there was something missing to make it really spectacular.
