The original book is best seller in JPN, and K-drama did great job making this movie
The original novel is very popular in JPN and I had to read it twice to fully understand the twist in the end. That’s why it was said to be impossible to make movie or drama of this book. I watched the JPN movie version then watched this Korean version. Both are made well despite the hard story to make in movie.I also experience long distance relationship , so I was able to relate to main couple. Some reviews criticized the cheating issues, but this drama’s core is the ENDING. . It’s a fantasy so you cannot take it too seriously.
I wonder how many viewers are able to guess what is the outcome. Very interesting story and recommend to watch for some fun.
OMG this is a super funny variety show!!!!
I am a big fan of Jasper Liu and I didn’t know anything about the Korean partner in crime *O*, but this is such a fun show that anyone can enjoy. I just keep laughing over and over at each episode.Not only I enjoyed seeing Jasper without acting, what I meant is I was able to see how he was like while not acting. I like him more than before bcoz he is naturally sweet and fun to be around.
These two actors, one is from Taiwan and one is from Korea, were such a great team to go through the trips and wondered around the South Asia to discover palaces and meet people.
I wish we have more this type of shows in the future.
This is so far THE BEST costume drama ! That’s why it’s 10!
I know I will cry watching the final episode. I don’t know why but I just keep watching the final episode over and over, then I kept crying over and over. There are viewers who love this drama but refuses to rewatch because it’s sad story, but I am totally opposite.I usually don’t like watching heartbreaking story so I kept avoiding this drama for so long, but I finally watched it and I regretted for not watching it sooner.
I first liked Prince #8 just like FL fell in love with him. Then Prince #4 suddenly walked into my heart at ep 4. Lee Joongi is not even my type, what I meant is, I didn’t find him either handsome or attractive. However he is now my favorite actor. One of the reason why I continue watching the last episode is because Joongi’s great acting. His acting skills are one of the best among K-drama and C-drama.
If you are looking for some heartbreaking romance, then this drama will give you a most memorable ending.
One of the BEST K-drama Ron-Com with laugh and tears
I recently started to watch K-drama, especially modern Ron-Com. There are so many great actors/actresses and stories. I noticed there are many older woman and younger man CP story. No exception, this drama is also one of the story of older woman and younger man love interest.This drama is the most classic and best one I’ve watched. Additionally it’s so funny. You have no idea how many times I repeat watching this drama. Once I fish watching the heavy serious drama, I always come back to this drama to shake off the heavness in my heart.
If you want some laugh and cute romance, I recommend this drama. ML is Hyunbin. He looks so young and so handsome.
Romance, funny, cross dressing and suspense
This is a light romance comedy with some suspense and plot. The story line is very light and easy to watch. There isn't too heavy suspense and plot, but good enough amount of suspensions are there.I also discovered a new promising super handsome actor named Zhang Ling He. He was only 22 years old when he acted in his very first drama as main roll, yet he acted very mature character despite his real young age. This tells me he is already a super actor at his young age. I found him a bit of younger version of Caesar Wu with little sweetness. Caesar Wu is great to play cold at first yet warmer later type of rolls, but Zhang Ling He is good at more of sweeter rolls. Now I became a big fan of Zhang Lin He as much as fan of Caesar Wu.
What a great drama that makes you feel good ! But ready for some tissues, too.
Unlike typical C-drama, it is a straight forward story, not many jealousy, bullying and confusion. It’s a romance between 10 yrs age gap adult and young college kid. They seems to be so different in personality, social status and etc, but they are actually made in heaven.FL is somehow childish time to time, because she is still in college. ML is a prominent doctor yet he doesn’t have much experiences in love life and his life is pretty much controlled by his parents as good son. So it seems they miss certain personality in themselves but once he met FL who is so free and cherish personality, he discovered LOVE.. They go thru typical breakup and getting back together. It was pretty realistic that made the story more deeper. Some negative comments noted how immature both are but I disagree. Everyone has weakness. We could see that thru this couples. However they found themselves to cover each other what they luck.
And family love, especially FL’s parent and her father played so well in the drama. And their friends and co-workers did great job bringing the story more interesting. And OST, what a great song.
Wonderful drama !
It’s a family drama with little romance
If you want intense romance with steamy kiss scenes, this isn’t the one. I consider this drama is more like family drama with laugh, cry and bit of romance. I enjoy it very much.I usually read MDL reviews after I watched to compare with my own reviews. It’s really funny there are reviews that are totally opposite of mine. So it depends on our own likings, I guess.
So I recommend to watch it if you like family drama. As long as you enjoy it, other opinions don’t matter.
I'm repeating this drama for the 3rd time. This much it's good!
I'm bias to both Bai Lu and Lai Yi, so it's a perfect score. Yes, there are lots of 9-10 score drama, so this isn't that type of super great one, but for someone likes ron-com, it could be. I just like to repeatedly watching this when I have nothing else to watch or after I watched heavy drama. It will lighten your heavy heart and make you laugh. And it will also give you fast heart beating (love) moments throughout the episodes.This is one of a very few Lai Yi's main lead drama. He is tall, handsome and he is a good actor. And Bai Lu is very pretty yet she plays wild and out of control gang boss well, then once she is in love, things change quite a lot. You'll see her sweet side. Their chemistry is so good, it makes the drama more fun and it gives you love heart beating moments.
The plot has many turns and turns, so you will not get bored. There is some story you won't expect so you cannot skip the episodes. If you like ron-com, you will definitely enjoy this drama.
What a beautiful story. You must watch it!
It’s a 2004 drama, but it doesn’t feel like that old story. Anyone can enjoy this drama even in 2023. You can watch it at YouTube.I don’t usually like college story but this one was exception. I felt how all of them went thought during the college year then onto working. It made me cry through many episode. Story itself was so realistic and you can relate to each characters.
Especially main CP’s feelings towards to each other were gradually developed. It’s romance but it’s not like wanting to see hugs and kisses. It’s more like real human drama with romance.
It is really heart warming drama. I recommend to watch it.
BEST Japanese romance drama
There were few hiccups so it isn’t 5 stars but this drama is the BEST Japanese romance I’ve watched. You need box of tissues, so be prepared!*mature love story
*well written screenplay, but time to time some hiccups but easy to understand
*focused on one main CP story so easy to follow their emotions and feelings
*OST are wonderful
*entire actings were well done
*sceneries are beautiful
*length is perfect, 9 episodes
After I’ve been watching too many twisted dramas with betrayal, lies, bullies and sadness, this drama was refreshing to watch.
I really recommend to watch this drama, then watch US remake of same title. Both are so good!
I watched ‘My Sassy Girl’ and I liked ML. Then I found out he played ‘Good doctor’. I really enjoyed this drama. I am also watching American remake of ‘Good doctor’ and I kind of like US remake little better. But it is still wonderful human drama. I found out there are surgeons and doctors who are just like ML, the only issue these doctors will face is bedside manner. It says for medical doctor with autism is challenging to deal with patient in person. So it is said surgeon is better because less interaction with patients. That’s why this drama is very realistic. It’s very small numbers of doctors who has such autism may exist but I read some articles that some of them are remarkable doctors.I noticed there are always bullied and/or mean people in K-drama. I don’t know if that is how their society are or they set up such characters so that audience will become more sympathetic to main character. It was really hurtful to watch when other educated doctors are really mean to him. In US, people are generally very kind to challenged people like person with autism and handy caps. That’s one of the reason why I couldn’t give perfect 10 And I like US remake little better. People around ‘Good Dr’ are kind to him in remake. I wish meanness in this drama were less. Then I would have given perfect 10.
This is a perfect short Ron-com costume drama after you watch sad ending drama
Many C-drama is pretty long, like 50-60 ep easily, but this one is only 24 ep so you can imagine it’s easy to watch without fast forwarding in the middle of episode when most long drama tends to get boring around 25-30.It’s quite cute and funny romance with heart beating to see how ML tries so hard to get to close to FL. ML reminds me of my favorite handsome actor Liu Xueyi. So if you are his fan, watch this. And if you like romance with comedy touch, this is one of the good one.
When I have nothing to watch, I tend to repeat watching this drama.
What a cliffhanger drama…….
Taiwan drama usually ends well, but this drama is destroyed by LAST 15 SECONDS!!!It was really cute RonCom and main CP were so good in acting. The story was also well written and editing was good. But the way it ended was cliffhanger and I’ve been waiting 3 yrs for season 2. However I do not hear anything about anyone is making the S2, so I think I should forget the last 15 sec of this final episode and consider it was a happy ending.
If you are okay with such ending (cliffhanger), then I recommend to watch it. It is such a cute and funny romance. I became big fun of Jesper Liu. Great actor. Natural charm with big dimple and smile., most of all he is a very handsome man with great acting skills.
WHAT!? Please someone explain to me the ending? If you are okay with bad ending, then watch this.
I finished watching Who Rules The World and I loved one of the actor. His name is 李九霖. He played Lusi’s older brother. So I found this drama he played the main lead. However the ending was so confusing. Is there season #2 coming out soon? Otherwise this is like UNFINISHED drama I ever watched.I usually like to review dramas that were worth rewatching, and it’s no use for me to criticize the bad drama since I know everyone spent time to make it. However I must write disappointed review today ( my first and prob last time). Because I was so frustrated by the ending. Other than that, I enjoyed it even there were lots of holes in the stories but if you like 李九霖, it’s worth watching this drama except the LAST episode. LOL. (There were lots of romance between ML and sub Male Lead. I love that part )
C-Drama tends to have very confusing ending and this was one of the worst. Producer of this drama, please bring the second season soon. I beg you.
One of the few modern drama I truly enjoyed recently
It started with female doctor and special force (swat) policeman met in scary circumstances. From the very first scene, it was very dramatic and if you are not good at medical and violent scene, it may be bit difficult to watch but it was very realistic to me and story was convincing. Drama reminds me of US TV show ‘ER’ and other Swat police drama. It is well made.There are three CP stories in this drama. I usually don’t care about second or other CP and I end up skipping it. But this drama made all three CP stories well and I didn’t even skip any scenes. Three CP had their own dilemma and stories of this love life , and I really enjoyed them all.
ML and FL ‘s chemistry made this drama very realistic and they were so cute together. And ML looked so handsome in uniform and I ended up becoming a big fan if him and I am searching his drama to watch now.
