Very sad but a very moving story. Being someone who was faced with losing a loved one to an incurable disease at a young age, this type of story is always hard to watch. But the courage and positive energy Yuuki possessed was absolutely amazing to watch. It's a hard thing for someone to stay so positive and optimistic when facing death but Yuuki was never short of an encouraging word to each of his friends even though he was the one facing all the hardships. Yes it's sad and tears will be shed but you won't regret watching it. Makes you appreciate life a little more and reminds you that tomorrow isn't a guarantee.

So I just got over with this drama today and i must say it was indeed quite impressive. Honestly speaking it wasn't one of the best for me but it was good. I enjoyed watching it for the past few days. It was a typical rom-com. It indeed taught me family values and how hard it is to not be privileged enough to get enough attention from family, and not be guided properly by proper guardian. It was a cute drama I'd definitely recommend to anyone whose a fan of rom-com. But the only disappointment i faced through out the whole serie is that it sort of dealt with the same problem all over and over again. But i must admit the kissing scenes were great, not the typical korean lip-on-lip style it had a bit more lip-lock (lol):P. The reason i gave the re-watch value a 7 is , if you'd ask me i'd probably not watch this more than twice. But it had really good music which is still buzzing in my ears for quite a bit of time. Overall it was a cute drama altogether i didn't get bored of it at all. If you can't access viki.com due to region problem you are sure to find it in dramacrazy.net. Thank you! I hope my review has encouraged you to watch this adorable drama.

I wanted to make a review for this drama because it's my very favorite (that's why I gave it extra good marks :D)
It was actually one of my first dramas, but believe me, it made me stay up ALL NIGHT and it was the only thing I could think about when I was not on computer ^^
The story may be a bit long, but I thought it was very realistic, and the characters are really cute. I totally fell for Da Ren, he's my favorite male character in a drama forever !!
In my opinion, the music is also really important, and I wasn't disappointed here. The ost is really beautiful and Da Ren's song is amazing : even now that I finished it a year ago or something, it still makes me cry when I hear it !
Now the actors are also really good, and so cute together. (and Ariel Lin is different from in other dramas, so give it a try :) )
Now I hope you understant something in my review (and I don't know why I had to re-publish the end like five times)
So I hope you'll like it as much as I did !

All of the reviewers were right. This show really is that good.

Story: Awesome. One or two heart wrenching relationships mixed in with a ton of funny characters. Like most Kdramas the story is earnest but here it manages to also be quite cool. My only criticism is that its' a tad disjointed at times. And a few of the flashbacks and time-jumps didn't make total sense.

Acting: THE BEST ACTING I'VE SEEN IN A KDRAMA. FULL STOP. PERIOD.
Seriously, the two mains in this are just so damn good. Their facials, their delivery, their chemistry. Everything was just perfect. All of the supporting cast were great as well. Shi Woon's parents were so damn funny.

Music: A great showcase of western and Korean music. This is probably the first show where I've gone out of my way to get the OST. There are just so many great tunes, and it all fits in so well with the mood.

Rewatch Value: This feels like The Wire of Kdrama for me. I just know that I'll be pulling it out every year to spend more time with all the funny and loveable characters.

Answer Me 1997 is a fabulous must watch show.

My Unnie suggested this drama. I thanked her several times while watching. This is one of the best melodrama's I have ever watched. NO1 in this drama is perfect or very forgiving. I was enthralled the whole time. Even though I was able to guess what was coming next they did it in such a way that it made me happy. I love the ending & everything that lead up to it. It made me feel good that ppl in the drama got exactly what they deserved. I loved the acting even though the music was too much & tried to make thing seem more dramatic than was necessary, b/c the expressions on the actors faces were amazing enough. Watch this drama I don't think any1 would regret it.

Wow, what a ride. To all of those who are turned off by the length of this show: don't be. The show starts to fly by once you get into it. And I would have hated it if this show was any shorter. Smile You's length allowed for the writes to really showcase all of the characters and the actors playing them. Every single family member has a voice and a substantial plotline. And all of these threads come together in a really effective, and frankly heartwarming way.

If you're looking for a funny and dramatic family story with great acting, snappy dialogue, and terrific pacing then this is the show for you.

I just finished watching this drama. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it since the first few episodes didn't really seem to hook me in. However, I kept watching and it did pick up, especially in the later episodes. The only complaint I have with it is that the storyline isn't original at all. I know it was based on a Japanese show, which itself was based on a manga, but I haven't seen or read those versions. To me, there was A LOT of recycled plot points from You're Beautiful. In fact, I noticed quite a few lines you could compare word for word with YB. I am not sure if You're Beautiful was based on the original version of this or not, but I haven't heard of anything like that. I know the plots are extremely similar anyway, but still feel this one could have come across as more original had it not copied so much from You're Beautiful.

All in all, though, it wasn't bad. It was cute and funny, but I just can't help but compare it to You're Beautiful, and in so doing, it just ends up as lacking.

So I guess that I really did think of this as a sequel of full house 1. Thats why I didn't want to watch it in the first place. I didn't like full house. It made no sense. Right when I started watching full hosue take 2 I relized that it has almost nothing to do with the first one. Maybe the whole idea of the named house but thats it.
There are some rascism in this but I look past that since they are trying to be funny. I didn't find it to be all that funny but I get what they were going for.
The acting was amazing. There are points in the show where I didn't want that certain charectar to be in the show but after a episode or two it got better.
Don't think of it as a sequel to full house. I mean its nothing like it and a totally different story. Like this has to do about the whole music industry and what can go wrong. Whereas full house goes with a contract.
The story is unique. I would think that you should give this a try. I can see where a lot of people wouldn't want to because of the whole misunderstandings but if you pay close attention you can see why they did certain things.

Let's face the fact: I've started watching "Bad Guy" solely for Kim Jae Wook. Khire, I am shameless Jae Wook Fan!

When I first saw the male lead, Hmmm, well I never liked 'here but barely there' mustache, but he seemed to pull it of. The story, I can't say it's unique but it has enough juice to grab hold of you. I was really scared when the story moved to Japan because whenever a Kdrama is shot overseas, it's plain horrible - be it awful foreign cast, extras, never mind the accent. But the part in Japan was flawless, and I knew I wasn't watching it for KJW any more.

The casting was spot on, everyone fit their role and I met my first Korean girl crush - Han Ga In! The story, ah well, I liked it, there was some plot holes here and there but I loved the way it ended.

KJW, you are awesome! Please forgive me for chanting "Kim Nam Gil,Kim Nam Gil" at some points!

First of all: You're Beautiful is no Drama to me. To me it's a collection of feelings: Cuteness, Sadness, Happyness, Disappointment, Love, Dramatic-all this feelings take place in this drama. The story is original-I think. It's not the typical Tomboy story.

I love love love the Cast! Jang Geuk Suk- so cool :) Jung Yong Hwa-my favourite and Lee Hong Ki-sooo cute ^_^. They're all sooo handsome *-* Park Shin Hye gives the role of Go Mi Nam such cuteness, that you just can smile all the time :D.

The Music is very important in this. You feel so much emotions when they sing, because you know the story behind the songs. Of course I gave this a 10 because I love every OST of You're beautiful.

I looove this Drama so much that I can call it Masterpiece. It will always be my favourite.
When you like... Korean Dramas you will love this one .
Out of my sight it's a must-watch *-*
