It is very rare that i give a review with a full 10 under every category even for my favourite movies and dramas but this one really does deserve it. The plot is so original along with all the characters. The acting was so well done that the characters seemed very real, even the 'Ghost' type characters were surprisingly well done. The music was perfect; it made it so that one second you're in awe of the romance, the next you are in horror. I've never seen let alone heard of a movie like this. I will definitely watch this again, and again.

This movie will take your heart and twist it into ways you can't even imagine. It's been a long time for me, that a movie has actually lived up to all its 'hype'.
The story, although very original, gives you a warm sense of familiarity. Everyone can relate to a story about first love.
The acting was outstanding. By far greater then I ever expected. I found myself at times screaming at the screen in disbelief. I probably used an entire half of a tissue box alone watching this.
I would rewatch this any time. Probably multiple times. And it's one of those movies that you don't have to be into Asian movies to see the beauty of. I recommend it to anyone.
take care ^^

I contemplated writing a review of this drama for so long. Because i had not seen all 16 episodes, i thought myself unfit to review Dream High 2... But i have come to the conclusion that I will never finish this drama, so now is a better time then any to finally write a review.
Let me start off by saying, I did genuinely enjoy some parts of this drama, which led me to continue watching until the 14th episode where i finally gave up.
It seems the best part of this drama was the music, which of course coming from JYPE was very good. The story was mediocre at best.. It started off on a good note with a completely different plot from the first season which i liked a lot because you can't have the same thing twice. Unfortunately it went all down hill from there.
The two leads (i consider them the leads, but really I'm not sure at all..it was that confusing) have absolutely no chemistry whats so ever which is strange because one would think a popstar dating a talentless nobody would be pretty interesting. it ended up being quite the opposite. When they finally do get together they suddenly both become shells of their former quirky selves and I just can't wait for them to break up. This is as close to a spoiler as ive ever written in a review so im going to stop here.
The main antagonist is just completely unrealistic and unreasonable.
It's not very clear what the actual big 'conflict' is in this drama.. its really just a bunch of random occurrences.
That's all i really have to say. Maybe one day i'll watch the last two episodes and my mind will change, but i doubt two episodes can make up for 14 mediocre ones. take care ^^

When I began watching this drama I was so close to ending it in the first episode. It seemed completely overacted and the story very typical but before I knew it i was sitting there with a box of kleenex crying my eyes out with these characters. This was a very good drama. And the actors are all extremely good looking so that helps a lot. The story wasn't the most original but I feel they really did amazing with what they had. I would definitely recommend this drama.

This was one of the only few dramas i have actually not liked. Really disapointing because Kwon Sangwoo is such a brilliant actor and i love him in almost anything. The main problem with this drama is the fact that the same story is dragged out over 20 episodes. literally nothing new happens in the last 5-8 episodes.. really disapointed because the drama started off on a really GOOD note. It was interesting right from the start with loads of drama and so many different plot lines with each character.. but then it just slows down after about the 3rd episode. Maybe im being too critical. the Acting as i said, is definitely great there were so many different. The music, also very good. It's worth watching, just not rewatching.

This movie was fantastic. From the first scene to the last, this movie was packed full of suspense without a single boring minute. The main character was so well developed, it was easy to care for her and understand her story. It really explores what being blind feels like; her every day challenges with things we overlook all the time seem so real and scary. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I would watch this movie again in a minute. There's really nothing more I can say about this other then, if you are looking for a good thriller this is definitely it. take care ^^

This movie is so bitter sweet, like Romeo & Juliet. It' such a tragic story, but at the same time their love is so powerful and beautiful it makes the movie worth watching. Although im only giving it an 8, i really did love this movie. The acting was amazing and the story was very creative. It wasn't really an 'edge of your seat' kind of movie and i ended up watching it over the span of two days. The romantic aspect of the movie is so beautiful.. almost surreal in the sense that its pretty much love at first sight. It kind of reminded me of a Korean take of Jordin Sparks; The Notebook in many ways other then the obvious fact that both female leads have alzheimer's.
This movie is definitely a great one. i would recommend it to anyone who likes romance. Its a tear jerker though so bring some kleenex and keep it beside you. ^^

This moive was EXCELLENT. not only did the story line keep you completely on the edge of your seat at all times but the way it was filmed was really different too. the transition between scenes was unlike anything ive seen before, in korean movies at least. it was very fun when it probably should have been serious at parts. The plot was very different and not stereotypical at all!
This movie was so good that i thought it should have been made into a drama instead. How they got all that information and drama into a single movie... blows my mind. seriously go watch this movie now if you haven't you wont be sorry ^^

Let me start off by saying this is the single first drama I have liked in a very long time. In fact, It's been the cure to my years-long drama lag all together. I've learned my lesson to not listen to drama 'hype' anymore so when there was a lot of attention surrounding this drama I didn't give it much thought. So perhaps it was the fact that I didn't listen and was pleasantly surprised or that for once a drama really did live up to the hype. Either way I loved it.

The story was very original. What kind of a person thinks to match up a 400+ year old alien with a Hallyu star? I don't know but they are wizards or something because their chemistry is like magic.

The acting was also great! I wouldn't expect less from Kim Soo Hyun. That boy knows how to deliver. Jeon Ji Hyeon was also amazing. I've only seen her in a few things but I'm definitely a fan now.

The music was good. It didn't really stand out from other drama music, but it definitely fit very well into the scenes.

I would definitely rewatch this. And then rewatch it again.

This movie is basically the Korean version of the American movie "Cruel Intentions" except it is set in a historical period of Korean instead of Modern times.
The story was pretty good. It was definitely VERY risque for a Korean movie. I'm quite surprised they actually have movies like this there was quite a bit of random nudity. The acting was also very good. Overall this movie is definitely worth watching. Myself, i loved the American version and ive watched it several times; seeing it played out in a historical Korean setting was very interesting i really enjoyed it ^^

At the beginning, i completely disliked this drama and was about to drop it. I kept comparing it to Hana Kimi and hating it more and more. Finally i came to the conclusion that while Hana Kimi is more of a comedy, To The Beautiful You is a melodrama. HK focuses on the relationships of the students and their growth within the three dorms in a comedic way, where as TTBY focuses on the relationship between the leads in a somewhat serious way.
Once i got past all the comparing, i realised this is actually a pretty good drama on its own. The music was amazing, as expected. And the last episode i was pretty sad to see it end.

This drama was excellent! Apart from the overall amazing story it's the acting that was just unbelievably good. Both leads played theirs parts so perfectly it made the story so believable that you would actually forget they were acting. The music was also very good. I haven't yet but i plan to watch this drama again very soon and I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a great drama and a lot of laughs!

Beautiful

I don't know how else to describe this drama other than beautiful. This was an absolute joy to watch. Don't get me wrong, bring the tissues because it's a ride. But in the best way. This one is for everyone that dreamed of moving to a small town/village to find friends so amazing they become your family.

The story - amazing. Lovely. Heartbreaking. Thrilling. Funny. It's somehow everything all at once. You will be crying and laughing at the same time.

The acting - truly amazing. Some of the best I've seen, and I've seen a lot. The characters are flawed in such a way that makes them feel real. I would move to this town in a heartbeat.

I usually don't review right away, but I really couldn't wait with this one~~~♡

Unwhelming

If I had to describe this drama in one word, it would be underwhelming. The premise is great and the first couple episodes are also great, it was moving fast, and then nothing happens for 13 more episodes. I'm not kidding. You could watch the first episodes and the last one and nothing in the story would change. Sure there are some comedic bits and some very minor misunderstandings but there is no actual conflict that needs to be resolved until the very last episode. And the minor issues that do occur, the female lead doesn't even know about them because the male lead is constantly treating her like a child and not telling her anything.
The female lead is great. She has a lot of charisma, is independent, and goes for what she wants. The male lead and the second male lead are 2 of the most boring characters I've ever seen. It got to a point where I was thinking, no matter which one she ends up with I don't care either way. None of them deserve this queen. Also, the fact that he is 1000 years old usually isn't an issue for me. I'm weird and I like that kind of theme but ugh they kept pressing the fact that he was old, and constantly comparing him to an old man it was so CREEPY. And it really doesn't help that he was constantly lying and withholding information from the female lead. It really gave me weird abusive vibes similar to real relationships when the man is too old and takes advantage of a young woman.

I'm guess more than anything, I'm just disappointed. I feel like with this kind of theme they had free rein to do whatever they want and instead they gave us the bare minimum.

I would not recommend unless you are very new to dramas.

When I first read the synopsis for this drama I was intrigued, but I never imagined that it would exceed my expectations as much as it did. At the beginning, I did feel some reservations because the portrayal of North Korea was far from accurate. However I don't think it's fair to count that as any fault whatsoever as this is a work of fiction, and I actually feel like their portrayal of North Korea is quite similar to the what the leaders of North Korea try to portray NK as to the rest of the world. The story simply could not exist if they had painted North Korea in the reality that it is.
That being said, this drama is simply beautiful from start to finish. The main love story developed in a very real and honest way, and all the friendships that formed were so moving. I laughed, I cried, I fell asleep and dreamed of the characters. I can't wait to watch it all over again.
