This drama on its own is really well written and acted. I actually enjoyed the competition a lot. Makino is too adorable. The F4 had a really good cast and I enjoyed their acting.
I am on to watch Hana Yori Dango 2!!!

The story line for this drama isn't anything new, but I thought it was going to be great for the first six episodes. Then it was just a drawn out mess. The story gets so convoluted that I was just tired while watching it. I could have skipped from episode 6 to somewhere around 13 or 14 and been fine. Not that there aren't some wonderful moments that are so touching especially with that adorable child, Bin Xiao Xiao. One of the scenes with his "fairy grandmother" on a park bench is just so adorable that he thaws her cold heart. Episode 17 in particular is a really great episode. I think that if they had just shortened the length and not put in so many flash backs that I would have enjoyed it a lot more. I enjoyed the character progression, but it took so long to get from point A to point B. The ending was cute though.Bin Xiao Xiao as little Xiao Le makes this drama worth watching. He is so adorable. They make him a little mature for his age, but considering he is raised in a single parent household that seems legitimate. I have never seen Wu Vanness in anything else. I never watched Meteor Garden or Meteor Rain. I think that he did a great job as Guang Xi. As far as his character is concerned I believe he showed the appropriate emotions for what he goes through. I can't really go into it because we can't post spoilers, but dang...How much lying can one person take??? He has a really nice smile too. An Ady is really beautiful and I have no problem with her acting, but her character is just too bothersome. It isn't her fault though. It is the fault of the writers. I admit to having second male lead syndrome for part of this drama because Wu Chris's character Tuo Ye is so likable.
I don't really remember the music.
I will NEVER rewatch this.
There are many, many positive reviews for this drama. So, don't decide to watch this or not based on my opinion. Watch it for yourself and decide :-)

The acting is good even if some of it is over the top. Lee Hye Young as Cha Moon Sook is so unbelievably well done. She stole the show. I have never seen Choi Min Soo act like that. The way he bows down as Ahn Oh Joo is really strange to watch. I like him as an actor, but this character was totally weird. The fight scenes with Lee Joon Gi and Choi Min Soo are awesome though. I thought the actors worked well together and all had great chemistry. Actually all the fighting is fun to watch. I wonder if some of them accidentally got hurt. Seo Ye Ji as Ha Jae Yi was strong and vulnerable at the right moments. She did her character proud.
The music is good.
i won't rewatch this.
If you like lawyer movies, then you will probably enjoy this one.

Rich Man, Poor Woman is a terrible name for a drama, but because of the lead actors, I decided to watch it anyway. The story isn't so bad. It is pretty typical. CEO has a childhood trauma that makes him a cold asshole, then a beautiful, cheerful woman comes into his life and changes him. I have watched this story and enjoyed it many times. The story isn't the problem. What is bad about this drama is that the character growth is minimal. Plus, I thought this was supposed to be a romance but there wasn't much. The writer took too long and it was slow and a little boring. I mean shouldn't the lead actor and actress kiss and have more intimate moments than the supporting actors and actresses? Anyway, the story between Cha Do Jin (Park Sung Hoon) and Mi So (Yoon Da Young) was more interesting and they had great chemistry.
The acting was just so so. I'm a total fan of idols turned actors, but Yoo Chan (Suho) wasn't very good here. Some of his facial expressions and acting was really strange and down right ridiculous. I don't know what that weird twisted upper lip expression was that he kept using, but someone should have told him to stop. I think he was the most natural when he was with Kim Bo Ra (Ha Yeon Soo). Ha Yeon Soo is a good actress and she did well in this role. She was one of the highlight of the drama.
The music is pretty good, although somewhat overused.
I will never rewatch this.
If you want to watch a romance, then there are better ones out there. I don't recommend this drama.

I admit that I watched this because of So Ji Sub. However, I came to find this movie is delightful. Sophie's antics are funny and adorable. The story isn't anything new, but it has a twist that I didn’t' see coming. Zhang Ziyi did a great job portraying Sophie's quirky character. So Ji Sub actually plays Jeff and he really isn’t in the movie as much as I thought he would be. However, I wasn’t disappointed because Ho Peter playing Gorden more than made up for it. Gorden is a sweet, funny character that I completely fell for. I love the artsy feel that this movie has. I will probably watch it again because I truly enjoyed it.SPOILERISH >>> So Ji Sub doesn’t die in this movie.

I know everyone is gushing over Seo In Guk as Yang Jeong Do and he is really good.
But for me the drama is all about Ma Dong Seok as Baek Seong Il. I'm totally in love with him and his way of acting. He feels real to me and that is my favorite form of acting. The other actors are good also, but nothing really stands out.
I enjoyed the music.
I won't ever rewatch this. I think it is boring to rewatch dramas like this.
If you like suspenseful dramas, then this is definitely one to watch.

WAC wasn't a horrible drama, but I expected more. The story line wasn't new...rich guy, poor girl. I thought that some of the plots was good in that he helps her because he thinks she is terminally ill. Seriously cute and funny. I would have dropped this though if it weren't for the actors. It was pretty boring at times and it seemed like the writer threw the story line together trying to make it interesting. I can't post spoilers, but this is a pretty regular plot of parent issues that cause the children problems. At least the step-siblings don't hate each other. Kang So Ra is one of my favorite actresses and she doesn't fail as Lee Jung Jo. Actually, her character was very likable. Yoo Yeon Seok is adorable as Baek Geon Woo and I liked his character also. He wasn't that much of a spoiled rich jerk. Then there is the most lovable mayor played by Kim Sung Oh. ***insert fan-girling here***
The music was nice.
I won't ever rewatch this.
If you are into a light romance, then this is an ok watch.

The couples were some what of a disappointment also. Park Shi Hoo as Choi Do Kung and Shin Hye Sun and Seo Ji An had no chemistry whatsoever. However, Lee Tae Hwan as Sun Woo Hyuk had great chemistry with everyone including the guys. He really did steal the show. The best couple was Shin Hyun Soo as Seo Ji Ho and Lee Da In as Choi Seo Hyun. They were so cute together and he helped her a lot. I don't know if all the extra cheesy couple stuff was necessary to the story. It honestly got on my nerves. I did like that everyone seemed to have a friend they could lean on. If it weren't for that 3rd generation chaebol that owned the share house, then the story would have gone in a crazy direction. I love that the writer put limits on the mean ass grandfather. It is sad how much those adults put those kids through. Seo Ji An and Seo Ji Soo were total victims. The writer does a good job with the character development and emotional turmoil of these two characters. The rest of the characters seemed to be decoration around their story. I started watching this because I like Lee Tae Sung but he is barely in the drama and his character was strange.
All of the acting was what you would expect from this type of drama.
The music is good.
I will never rewatch this.
If you like family dramas, then this one is an okay watch.

My biggest gripe is...
They work on this memorial through out most of the drama. We get to see some of the stories of the families of the victims and survivors. They even send out announcements to attend the unveiling. Guess what? We never get to see the friggin' memorial!!! I thought we would get to see the families gather and heal.
Instead we get episodes of the female lead blaming herself for crap she had no control over. To some degree I can understand the writer because the mother basically blamed the female lead for her involvement in her sister's death so it is kind of expected that she would blame herself for other things too. Still, it is annoying. Also, the stupid disease for the male lead is just too much. It is borderline ridiculous. I enjoyed the first 8 to 10 episodes and if the writer had kept to the vein of the leads supporting each other as they built this memorial, then it would have been a better story. The writer could have even put in more stories of those in the accident. I get it is a melo and I love melos, but this kind of went in circles at one point. I will say that I like the fact that there wasn't really a love triangle and there was no vindictive second male or female lead. The side stories were pretty good. The highlights of the drama is Kim Kang Hyun as Sang Man and Park Hee Bon as Kim Wan Jin. They are outstanding friends to the lead characters. I felt some of the stories weren't resolved or too easily resolved and some were rushed, because the writer concentrated too much on that stupid disease instead of giving me closure.
Lee Jun Ho surprised me. He is a good actor and pulled out all his emotions for Lee Kang Doo. I think he had pretty descent chemistry with Woo Jin Ah (Ha Moon Soo). The kissing scenes left a little to be desired, but she will probably get better. I think she did well pulling out the emotions expected of her. It isn't her fault the writer messed her character up some. The other actors are good also.
The music is well done.
I will never rewatch this.
This is a good drama, but don't get your expectations up too high reading all those 9 and 10 reviews. I do recommend it to people who like melos.

I wouldn't have given this as high a score it if weren't for Heo Jung Eun as Geum Bi. That little girl is an amazing actress and I enjoyed her character so much. The other actors are good too, but I didn't feel a bit of chemistry between any of them. They all seemed awkward around each other except when with Geum Bi. She is pretty much the star of the show and the reason why I watched and finished it all.
The music is awesome.
I will never rewatch this.
If you like a melodrama with hope, then this is definitely one for you.

EDIT: I have watched tons of dramas since watching this. I admit at the time, I thought it was great. Now, after watching it again and other versions, I realize it wasn't that great. The acting is still the best part of it. The story is fine except Jan Di's character. She is just blah!!! I liked her character in other versions better. Anyway, just amending my review to match how I feel about this drama in the present. I still love Kim Joon though. :-)
