First of all this drama IS 50 EP. This means that the plot has to move progressively. Don't expect to see a problem be solved in 4 ep. The great thing about his drama is that the plot is moving at an awesome pace for a 50 ep drama.
Who will enjoy this drama:
-Someone who likes complex plots. Because this drama is long, the plot doesn't focus only on the main characters.
-likes romantic comedies
-doesn't have a problem with a slow plot pace.
-poor girl- rich boy relationships, although is not that cliche.
Overall, the drama is SOOO WORTH watching. You will enjoy all the acting and chemistry in this drama. From the main leads to the third parties. I shall say that the plot is so well written and portrayed so far, that is just flows awesomely. Don't be scared because is a long drama. Oh and the drama is CURRENTLY AIRING. So far there are 13 ep aired.

This is not a drama with big misunderstandings or big build-ups. It's mostly mundane things like workplace woes, or petty fights between friends. But it's through these mundane things that the show can help you learn how to handle relationship between coworkers, friends and lovers. As Yiyi was learning how to navigate through her life, I was learning alongside with her.
There's a type of food called comfort food, easy to digest and never lets you down. To me, Go Yiyi Go is like a comfort food perfect for a rainy day.

Storywise, it's pretty average for a mystery show. They tried to build too much suspense in certain areas, and too many twist and turns that it gets a bit tiring and even predictable after a while. What elevates the show is definitely the characters. There's lots of bantering, snarks and all the characters seems to have a sense of humor. This makes the show really breezy and easy to marathon through.
One thing that really bothered me was the voice-over of one of the character, Xie Tian Hong. I thought the voice-over did not match the character at all so it was a bit off putting whenever he spoke.
Overall solid story, entertaining characters. Rewatchable for the laughs.

I came into this drama with high expectations. I knew it was popular and every jdrama sight practically faints over Yamapi. At first I liked it. It's a time travel drama, but I liked the idea of being able to travel back in time through photographs. It's original and interesting.
As many others have said this type of drama begs for repetition. He can't confess to her in the first episode because then the drama would be over. The drama delivers zany misunderstandings, close calls, and you actually do want to root for the main male lead Iwase Ken.
What makes me give it such an awful review is how it ends. I ended up becoming tired of the repetitive plot lines and search to see how the drama ended to see it if was worth my time. It is not at all. I wont spoil how it ends, but I will say that the ending is so stupidly contrived and unrealistic that it offends my life. I will say that the future takes place at a WEDDING. Not even a wedding, the reception to said wedding. The main female lead and love interest, Yoshida Rei, is MARRIED the the present time. The only way I could see the ending actually being decent is if they villainize the love rival, Tada Tetsuya, but he is actually a pretty decent guy so it doesn't even a little bit work.
The horrible ending on top of sub-par acting and repetition make me loathe this drama.

Initially I like this drama. I liked the lead female,Makino Tsukushi, as a strong female role because she would't succumb to the arrogant F4(especially from the lead male Domyouji Tsukasa). It was cliche, but I've come to expect that in any japanese teen drama. Some reactions and plot devices were unrealistic, but I can ignore that. What turned me off was the complete 180 the drama took from reality involving Domyouji. Let's get this straight, Domyouji is a narcissistic, obnoxious, arrogant creep. Nothing leads me to feel empathy for his character. Domyouji does awful, terrible, things to harass Makino; even going as far as hiring people to sexually assault her. The 'excuses' for his behavior (his background story) are not at all valid for being such an awful human being and I feel no empathy for the character.
I had to quit watching after I searched for the ending. I couldn't make myself sit through the entire drama only to be enraged at the end.
The only semi saving grace for this show was the acting. Oguri Shun is a brilliant actor, and Jun Matsumoto portrays his character well (as does Mao Inoue). So I guess if you are a fan of the manga you will like it (???). For me, two thumbs way way down.

What I really liked most about this drama was how they connected it to the first season BUT it also had its own story line. As for how the story was played out it was outstanding. You can keep up with the story because it's not too fast and it wasn't too slow that I wanted to skip parts. It comes with many plot twists and cliffhangers that always puts me in automatic rage mode and screaming at my screen. It's so exhilarating to watch because you want to know more and the story just sucks you in. The story is original, unique and a balanced of action, suspense and a hint of romance. This drama is always leaving you thinking about the real truth and to makes that's what makes this drama so brilliant.
There were a few characters that I dislike but then I realized that if you hate a character that means that actor/actress is playing his/her role right. The acting was seriously flawless. Not all but most supporting character play a huge role in the drama and I love how everyone is not ignored. The fact that brought back old characters was great. In the more emotional scenes you can really feel the emotions and sympathise with the characters. You can also see the character development in everyone, you can literally see the changes from episode 1 to episode 20.
I enjoyed the music a lot. The songs really reflected the emotions and the situations and I think that is extremely important in dramas.
I would definitely re-watch Iris 2, it is one of the best dramas of 2013 in my opinion. (AND BECAUSE YOON DOOJOON LIKE COME ON GUYS, SEXY BEAST.)
Overall, Iris 2 had me on the edge of my seat in every episode and it was always agonizing to wait for the next episode. It's been a long journey with Iris and I'm very sad to have finish watching it but for future watchers I hope you enjoy this drama as much as I did. It's a great watch and I definitely recommend it.

This review may contain spoilers
Once again I was totally captivated by Iris. I think that although there are some reminiscent scenes in this sequel, there is also a great continued story line. My only complaint (really since this isn't a romance, it isn't like I can complain that much) is that I didn't feel anything between Yoo Gun and Soo Yeon. Well, at least from her end. However, the rest is action packed and suspenseful. I really thought it was interesting that from some characters point of view, they thought they were doing what was right for their country no matter what the action. Then there is Iris motivated by power and greed. Of course, I could see the ending coming a mile away (as I'm sure most people will), but it was fun to watch it play out. I have tons to say, but we can't post spoilers...so...When it comes to acting, I believe Jang Hyuk has a gift. I laughed with him and I cried with him. His personality change was believable. I was fully invested in his character as Yoo Gun. Kim Yeong Cheol did another excellent job as Baek San. At this point I can't decide if I love him or hate him. His character is truly on of those that show there are two sides to everyone. I gave the acting a 10 for those actors alone. Lee Bum Soo is no joke as Yoo Joong Won. I really had no clue what his character was about for a while. Oh Yun Soo as Choi Min was also good, but nothing special. I felt like she was just a way to keep Yoo Gun in the story line and then she was gone. Lee Da Hae as Soo Yeon left a lot to be desired in my opinion. I felt nothing for her character except when Yoo Gun was upset. I thought Im Soo Hyang as Yun Hwa was a heck of a lot better. I can't give away the ending, but if there is an Iris 3 and she is in it, then I'm totally watching it. I also thought that Doo Joon from B2ST and Lee Joon from MBLAQ were good. This is the first time I have seen them act and they didn't suck.
OH...and watching the outtakes made me think that a lot of these actors did their own action scenes and were hurt. It looked brutal to me. So props to all of them for that!!!
The music was pretty good. GO and Mir singing "Foolish Me" is a really good song that you should check out even if you don't watch this drama.
I might rewatch this sometime.
If you like action and suspense, then this is a drama that you should watch. :-)

The actors were wonderfully picked and I was able to feel the pain or happiness and even anger when they expressed it. Out of all of The Kamen rider series so far, I liked Kiva the best. The costumes and effects were wonderful. The relationship between the characters is fantastic as well. The music is a little respective but in all it was good music.
A thing that kinda stopped me from watching this in the beginning was the fact that it goes forward and back from the past and present day, it was something I wanted to take a risk on though and I found myself intrigued by both the past and present coming together.
I definitely suggest giving this drama a try, even if it is your first Kamen Rider series.
I can tell you that this show is so amazing that I'm getting a the Kiva henshin symbol tattooed on my back. You wont regret watching this!!!

The story was a decent one. Not a jewel that you'd preserve or a 'out of box' memory. Also, at times it got a little slow. But the humour is satisfying. I liked Gyu Won's grandfather as well. :P
Music is the amazing part of the drama. Modern or traditional, I liked both genre OST. Look out for some really quirky tracks that you'd like.
Scenes such as competitions in the university are actually quite good. In the middle of the series, I started feeling as if Park Shin Hye was a gayageum artist rather than an actress. Also I liked her neutral, light wardrobe.
Re watch for me is 5 because I have mixed feeling for this drama. Whoever liked it would wanna watch it continuously. Overall, for me its a one time serve on the plate that made me full.

What beautiful scenery, great filming and cinematography- what super SUPERB slow motion effects used to show drops of rain and the camera angles- YUMMY.
The beginning of the movie -aside from weird caucasian american girl who lookws like repeat cast actress from all the dramas i'm watching- started off alright (I blanked out the words) and had a bit of a laugh... and then, there were more actors in it, and terrible terrible dialogue.
If this was a silent movie- zero dialogue- with less actors in it, My eyes would totally enjoy this.... and I'd give it a pretty decent score.
But... Yeah. It wasn't. People had to talk, there had to be a story line which was slightly different from all the other Hana Kimi's but a bit more- ahhh, unenergetic??
The only other Hana Kimi I've watched is the Taiwanese version and, I guess, realistically thinking and speaking, NOTHING will ever be as funny as Jiro Wang's acting in there. Because of that, this drama fell flat- the acting felt a bit stiff and not interacting, the humorous parts weren't as humorous, the friends weren't as friendly, or funny... The bullying just ended nowhere...
AND the female character... the gymnast national fairy- I wanted to take one of my heels and just hit her over and over and over!!!
I also think that Jae-Hee's english should have been MUCH better than what she could speak (for a transfer student from the US, who's supposed to be living there since she was 5...)
But, regardless of my complaints (Y'all are probably thinking I'm a bad reviewer haha)I liked:
a. The bit of more romance in this... I want to watch the Japanese version to compare and see... but yeah (although I felt more chemistry between Eun Gyeol and Jae Hee) there was more romance here.
b. There's better show of the sports- High Jump and Soccer (Let's totally ignore how lame the track thing is in this drama)
c. The cinematography
d. Ahhhhh. Oh, the Senior Hang Suen Ri.
e. How Jae-Hee sometimes actually looked like a boy.
Should you watch this again? Only if you're interested in filming and/or photography and wanna see which cameras to use to get certain lighting effects (colours were amazing) and slow motion sequences.
Oh, and, of course, if you want to know about bad dialogue.

The music is good.
The cinematography and colouring is amazing.
Also, I'm surprised at Anne's acting. I've never seen her as anyone out-standing but did pretty well in this.

Yes it's cliched to the max but that's not even the problem. The problem is... ridiculous everything. The plot is boring and the main characters make no sense, at least not the main guy. He behaves like a 1st grader and does unimaginable stunts like "hey I'll take the girl scuba diving and leave her at the sea, later I'll forget about her and leave her dying but in fact it was all just a joke" wtf man? That's an attempted murder! And then he stalks her to no end? Gotta give props to the girl for fighting back though, but this is not even close to Boy Over Flowers.
The chemistry between main characters is near - 0 and it's even hard to say why the girl would fall for an asshole like him. The comedy is mostly not funny but annoying, everything is simply annoying. The second half is incredibly draggy. Acting is pretty bad an annoying too. This drama is simply just boring and annoying.

Some 4 first episodes are a bit boring for me, and all the characters are super annoying, especially the main girl. Half of the time it's hard to say what is even going on. And then towards the end it gets pretty draggy, everyone is crying.
My first thoughts: how could her friends do that to her?! Why are they are brushing their teeth all the time? Hasn't anyone noticed that the girl hasn't changed her clothes for 6 days? Why are these people always yelling at each other?
Once the show gets really started it's pretty cute and entertaining, I had a lot of "awww" moments. And well, I guess this show is worth watching just for Rain/Bi, he is super cute. Even though his character wears super weird clothes.
But personally, I think Full House is sort of outdated now, everything about it feels old and ancient. I think it should be buried in drama history and left there. It's a cute show though, and a good first ever drama.
