Finally, I managed to end this drama. In fact, I put this drama on hold for quiet some time when I reached eps 12. But then, I managed to continue watching this till the last episode. Can't believe I was doing those, actually. I remembered how excited I was when I first read about this drama, even before it started to aired. But fortunately I ended up really satisfied with the last episode :)

Story: Different from what others said about how boring the early episodes was, IMO the early episodes are great! I waited every week for new episodes. I want to see more about Yi Seul & Baek Ho.. I really adore how they loved each other, how they cared about each other.. It was.. really sweet (I'm typically a fan to sweet couple like them..) I really enjoyed every episodes.. But when I reached later episodes, I found the story becomes, a bit dragged, and BH-YS's relationship becomes more bitter, especially on around episodes 11-12. And it's true what people said that episodes 11-12 is frustrating, and episodes 14-15 was the turnover. Finnaly after I passed episodes 12, I once again, found myself enjoyed waiting for the next episodes, and am really satisfied with the ending! Such a happy ending :) The side story also add addiction to this drama (I especially adore Tae Nam and Chae Ri's story)

Acting/Casts: Such an outstanding chemistry between Yoo Seung Ho & Park Eun Bin.. They've been together in some project, and it makes them comfortable with each other. Yoo Seung Ho himself has a strong acting base from his dramas before. Other casts also did a perfect job (even the supporting roles really did a great job!) That's why I give 10 for this section! They are really outstanding!

Music: Honestly, for me, some of them are great to build the mood (especially for crying scenes), but some of them were just, average. Outside the drama, some of the soundtracks are on my playlist :)

Rewatch Value: I usually don't rewatch the dramas I've watched before.. But I'm sure that some of you would like to watch this again in some time :D

This maybe not the best drama I've ever watched.. Some people found this frustrating and I was one of them. But if you want to watch a sweet romance, then you come to the right place :)

I assumed, most people found this kind of drama boring, not interesting, scary, confusing. But, not for me. I took virology class, and this drama helped me to reviewed my lessons, as well as comparing it with what I learned (errr, sorry for sounded like a freak)..
Anyway, I started watching first, because it's from OCN. I admire OCN's drama. I mean, it's not mainstream. I really love Vampire Prosecutor (and now dying to watch the 3rd season), and finally I found another drama. And I was interested when I watch its trailer, and so, here I am.

Story: as I said before, it's unique. The virus idea is not-so-original though, since I've watched "L Change The World" which made me fell in love pretty hard. And since, the virus used is kinda look a like, I kinda disappointed actually. But I decided to focus at the story line. And indeed, the story line is interesting. Not only medical, but it involved political issues (which I assumed, also happens in reality as well). Not only that, I spotted a classic scientist's issue - ethics. I'm aware, that ethics always been a sensitive, but important issues. I'm glad that the scriptwriter actually included ethics issues in it - may take that as a moral of this drama. The details also pretty great and realistically made.

Acting: Uhm Ki Joon, no need to be questioned. His acting is terrific, he portrays smart and persistent Lee Myeong Hyeon really well. As for Hyun Woo, even though he only appeared in the first half of the drama, he left a pretty deep impression on his acting for me. Yubin, I'm kinda surprised to see her here. But her acting is pretty good (and I kinda startled to see that she........ *I'm not posting spoilers here. LOL*). Other casts are also great.

Music: nothing notably, really. There are barely any music throughout this dramas. Only opening and closing sequence (same song), and barely noticed instruments as insert songs. Nothing remarkable.

Rewatch Value: basically because I didn't rewatch my dramas. But in my opinion people wouldn't watch this show twice.

Overall, this drama is basically a medical, thriller, a bit gore (a few scenes containing bloods). In my personal opinion, this is a good way to test your knowledge about virus. The story is FAR from romance (moreover comedy). It's serious, dark, unexpected, but pretty realistic. But I do recommend this for those who interested in medical drama.

First, the reason why I watch this drama, apparently, because I accidentally saw it in KBS' official Youtube channel. It's romance, it's short, and I am bored at the moment, so I decided to give it a shot. And I end up, like it :)

Story: actually there's nothing so special about the story. Typical school romance story, with all those puppy love, friendship, and even the school gang. But aside from that, the story itself got a nice flow. I found myself enjoying every scene, even though the story might be pretty predictable for most people (and yes, for me too). Even though it only have 4 episode, I think it end well. Nothing was dragged or rushed. And to add the points, this drama makes me reminiscing my high school days alongside the story.

Acting/cast: I have to admit, that saying that Kwak Dong Yun is the next Yoo Seung Ho, is appropriate. His acting is really good, considering that he's 16 years old! Lee Se Young, I have seen her in Missing You. But I think even though she's the main role here, her acting is just so-so. As for their chemistry, I can't say that it's good, but I can't say that it's terrible either. It's just.... flat? For Choi Tae Joon (he's soooo handsome, we agree?), his acting is actually pretty good! I just don't know why he didn't star in more dramas (currently watching him in Ugly Alert btw). The rest of supporting role is also did a good job.

Music: not much musics there, but the musics are pretty good! It fit the drama atmosphere nicely. No complaints..

Rewatching value: solely because I don't rewatch my dramas.

Overall, watching this, give me a good nostalgia. A light, heartwarming, innocent love stories in school. With a good music, and good looking actors. The storyline is ordinary, but I find myself enjoying how the story progressing. If you like school romance, or you didn't like long dramas, this drama is then suitable for you.

Basically, this movie is apart from the first 2 movies before.. There's nothing about Death Note, basically, just a filler chapter of L's remaining life.. So let's simply put this as a completely different movie than Death Note.

The story itself is original. Because I am from a biology major, I can say that the science feature is realistically made. The details are great (except for some details when they actually works with virus without any protection in some scenes). The flow of the story actually great (actually I don't understand why other people said it's crappy). It flows nicely, dragged in some parts, but overall it's really nice.

The acting: we all agree that Kenichi Matsuyama already portray's L's character really nicely.. His character is absolutely lovable. The other main character is especially good. The minor characters are also good. Nothing to complain.

The music: nothing much remarkable though. But memorable enough to build the atmosphere.

Rewatch value: truth to be told, I am not a person who actually rewatch the movies I've watched before. But this movie, I actually rewatch it (although it took a long time before I actually watch it again) It still left me amused even after watching it twice..

Overall, this movie is one of my favorites. The first and second movie of Death Note is good too, but apart from that, L is my favorite character, and I loved to see him again as the main hero.. Not only actions, this story contains moral value that we can learn.. Yes, overall, I recommend this movie :)

First of all, I REALLY LIKE YOON SHI YOON HERE! Some people said that they like him better in The King of Baking Kim Tak Goo, but as for me, I like him better here. As for the reasons, I'll put it in the acting section.

Hmm, I think my first reason why I watch this drama is because I watch the OST's MV.. It's Too Much Tears by Suzy (yes, thanks to Suzy for leading me to watch this..)

Story: the story actually, as for me, just average.. or maybe a bit more than average. the story line is just.. too common. Romance, family problems, love problems, jealousy. Yep, but that's it. Nothing really different from other dramas that excite me more. Maybe I think the only thing that's interesting for me from this drama is Seo Jae Hee's complicated character and background.
Moreover, I think there's not much people interested in this drama, so it took so much time for the English subbed to be out, and it actually decrease my interest.
BUT, one more thing that makes me give score 7 not 6 was, the ending is a perfectly happy ending. It's a happy ending for everyone. I really like the ending :)

Acting: I read in a few source that originally, Seo Jae Hee will be played by Kim Jae Won. But I think, switch him to Yoon Shi Yoon is a great idea. In my opinion, Yoon Shi Yoon has successfully brings out the "dark" side of Seo Jae Hee. Seo Jae Hee is a complicated character, and Yoon Shi Yoon has succeed in playing his role :)
As for Lee Ji Ah, she also did a pretty good job. The thing is, I really like the chemistry between Seo Jae Hee & Cha Bong Seon! It makes me goes "Awww.. so sweet :)"
And Ki Kwang! He is just sooo cute. Jo Ma Ru's character suit him well! The rest of the character is also great.

Soundtrack: most of them are good. It really swings my mood while watching, even outside of it. Some of them are now playing continuously in my playlist.

Rewatch: just like I said in the story section, the plot is actually not much different from other dramas, and maybe it's my personal opinion, because I don't really rewatch the dramas I've watched.

Overall, it's just good. Nothing outstanding in particular, besides from Yoon Shi Yoon's acting and Jae Hee-Bong Seon's chemistry.

This is definitely one of the best drama I've ever had! I am a big fan of CSI, and when I found CSI-like Korean Drama, I was really excited.
Just like CSI, Vampire Prosecutor has 1 case in each episodes, but there's a long term case (which have something to do about Prosecutor Min's past). That's exactly why I like CSI & Vampire Prosecutor. It really holds me to watch this to the very end, and to find out the truth from Prosecutor Min's past.

Story: there's a lot of plot twist in this drama. You really can't guess what will be revealed in the next episodes. The script writer really did a brilliant job, and making the 2nd season is really great decision. I must say, the story line is outstanding. Even though, you must not wishing for romance between Yoo Jung In & Min Tae Yeon. There's just about 5% romance in this whole series, so don't hope too much. It really just about the mystery cases and Min Tae Yeon's past.

Acting: Yun Jung Hoon really did a good job, and because of Vampire Prosecutor, he officially becomes one of my favorite actor. His acting is terrific, and so does Lee Won Jong. Even so, I can't give the perfect score because of Lee Young Ah. Hmmm.. How should I put it? She's good, but I can't really understand her character. Maybe it's just me, but maybe it's just her character is the mysterious and complicated one.

Soundtrack: one of the soundtrack is now on my playlist! Well but other than that, I just like to hear them on the drama to build up the mood.

Rewatch: yes, I would recommend to rewatch. I also would love to rewatch this drama because of the story, and because of Yun Jung Hoon :p

Overall, this drama is GREAT GREAT and GREAT! Especially for you, the CSI fan. Even though, the forensic technology cannot be compared with what they used in CSI, but how Prosecutor Min solved the case, it is the main attraction from this drama.

Let's just get straight to the point..

Story: typical melodrama.. The love triangle and revenge.. mixed with a tears here and there (so far I noticed, there were NO EPISODE without tears involved in it). The early episodes are extremely fine. The story about a new boy in neighborhood who dare to become friends with a psychologically-and-physically-wounded murderer's daughter raise my expectation really high.. but then, after they parted ways, 14 years later, I do feels that the story.... can't meet my early expectation. The more I watched it, the more I lost interest (honestly, I've even thinking about dropped this drama) I barely managed to finished this drama though, just out of curiousity. The ending though (yes it's a happy ending) could've been better.. 1 episode extension only made the ending looks dragged.

Acting & Cast: THE BEST THING FROM THIS SERIES. seriously, I admire everything.. The child actor, Yeo JinGoo & Kim SoHyun really blow me away with their acting. The senior actor also did a terrific job. Yoon EunHye, well, her acting as we all know is outstanding.. But I have to say that her chemistry with Yoochun is not as much as I expected though.. I especially stunned with Yoo SeungHo's acting as Joon. Even though his character is not my favorite, but his acting is so..... perfect! *officially marked him as one of my favorite actors*.. The supporting roles are GREEEATTTT! I really love their interaction and they do supporting the storyline.

Music: Not much memorable.. Byul's song is remarkable though..

Rewatch value: I personally don't really rewatch dramas. But if I put myself on other people's point of view, I didn't see this drama interesting enough to be rewatched.

Overall: This drama is just.... good. The story is ordinary, typical melodrama. Tear-jerker, yes, for some people (I personally didn't cry even once though).. But if you want to see best actors and best acting of the year, you definitely come to the right place (it's not easy to do crying scenes you know.. and they've done it in every episodes.. LOL XD)

This, deserve a 10/10 from me. I am a fan of medical forensic drama. And, I love OCN's dramas. So, this drama is basically a combination of both my favorites. I've watched a few dramas with this genre, either from Asian, or US. Vampire Prosecutor, Virus, Body of Proof, CSI:NY, Brain, Surgeon Bong Dal Hee. But this one is, simply amazing. This drama maybe has the highest score among all the drama I've reviewed.

Story: the story basically had no defined plot at early episodes. It just contains separated cases each episodes. But later a plot was built and unexpectedly made a twist (which was a pleasant surprise). The case about rare disease is REALLY interesting. The cases are not using a really "smart" or "tricky" strategy, but rather, it's interesting because the case was actually solved by solving the victim's or perpetrator's disease. And of course, I could take notes learning about rare disease (which, I really interested into). And to add the plus point, it contains a bit romance (and a sweet one :))

Acting/Cast: I must admit, dr. Han is really charming, in his own way. He's smart, but quirky at the same time (and different from other main characters from other medical drama I've watched). Ryu Deok Hwan is absolutely worth praising. The interaction between the team is also hilarious and warm, which I really enjoy. All the cast did a fantastic job building the character, so, 10/10.

Music: actually, there's not much music. I do believe, OST bombardment is not for medical drama, because atmosphere is not really the main point. But to be honest, this drama had better OST than other medical drama I've watched.

Rewatch Value: I'm not the type who would rewatch the dramas I've watched. But if I put myself on other's shoes, I definitely would want to rewatch this, someday in the future.

Overall: Even though it lacks in music, but it doesn't matter for me. This drama still scored 10/10. The acting is terrific, nothing to complaint. It blown me away after I watched the first episodes and got me addicted (to the extent that I neglected all my currently watching dramas beside this one). This drama successfully rises to the top 5 of my all-time favorite dramas, and I am now excited to watch the second season. Apparently this drama had similar format with other dramas, but with its uniqueness, I would highly recommend this drama for those whose fond of medical dramas (and those who doesn't mind bloody and autopsy scenes).

When I first watch this drama, on episode 1, I was shocked by the brain surgery scene. Even though actually I was aware of it, since this is a medical drama about neurosurgeon. But by the time, I was used to it.
While watching this drama, I really feel dynamic emotion. On around episode 7/8, I really hate all the characters and even think about stop watching.. But actually I hold myself and keep watching, hoping that it will get better on the next episodes. And it actually is! On the later episodes, I really feel this excitement of waiting for the next episodes. I think it's when the love line between Kang Hoon & Ji Hye starts to grow. Back then, on the later episodes, I actually can understand the reasons behind all of the character's irritating and annoying behavior. And eventually I start to like the characters as they got better.

The story: there's not much Korean drama that have this kind of story. To be truthful, I am kinda interested in semi-documentary drama like Brain. I used to watch Surgeon Bong Dal Hee which is also a medical drama. Maybe that's why I watch Brain in the first place. But the romance in it also hold me to keep watching this. Overall, it has a great story.

The casts: for the casts, I think there's no one can play the role of Lee Kang Hoon better than Shin Ha Kyun. Arrogance, selfishness, obsession, everything that was the part of Kang Hoon's character, was expressed very well by Shin Ha Kyun.
On the other side, I think Ji Hye's character is a bit weak. Choi Jung Won's acting doesn't really caught my eyes. Even though, she managed to have a good chemistry with Shin Ha Kyun.
As for Lee Sung Min (played the role Go Jae Hak), I have to praise his acting that successfully made me hate Go Jae Hak so much.

The soundtrack: for me, no particular song that stands out. Sorry to say, but in my opinion, the soundtrack is just average. It did helps to bring the mood on the drama. But besides it, it's just average.

The rewatch value: I can't say that this drama is bad (if it's bad, I would've stopped watching it in the middle). But for rewatching it, maybe I wouldn't.

Overall, this drama is good for whoever wants to be a doctor. By watching this drama, you can learn about responsibility towards a patient, and even a commoner like me can learn a lot about neurosurgery. One suggestion, don't watch this drama if you're afraid of blood (just like me on the first episode).

I've watched this drama a long time ago, but decided to write a review just now (currently I'm watching the second season).

Why I watch this drama in the first place? Simply because I am a big fan of medical dramas. Coincidentally I stumbled across this drama and there, I watch it and end up hooked.

Story: I've watch plenty of medical dramas. But this one, has one of the best story, I can say! The storyline is original, unique, and really interesting. The surgery scenes are realistic (never been watching a REAL surgery but speaking from hours of watching medical dramas experiences). If you look for dirty hospital politics, this drama has the dirtiest hospital politics you can imagine. It left your jaw hanging, it makes you want to pull some hairs off the doctors' scalp. This drama gives you various emotions throughout the series.

Casts: The main attraction of this drama, IMO. Yonekura Ryoko and Daimon Michiko officially becomes one of my favorite character & actress. Her acting is terrific, and her character is very charismatic. Badass, carefree, but brilliant surgeon, portrayed really well. The supporting character is outstanding as well (I especially loved Jonouchi). Definitely deserved a 10/10

Music: Nothing remarkable

Rewatch Value: Truthfully, I never rewatch the dramas I've watched. But this drama, I think I would want to rewatch it sometime in the future. This is a drama that will never get me bored.

Overall: this drama is definitely one of the best medical drama I've ever watched. The character especially is interesting and charismatic. The storyline is unique, and progressed well. The only flaw of the storyline is the ending which left hanging (which, fortunately, continued to the second season). The surgery scene is realistic & educational (!). And if you look for dirty hospital politics, you've come to the right place :)

P.S: A little snippets to the second season: expect even dirtier hospital politics!

First review in a long while, for the first Thai drama I've ever completed. I didn't even remember why I decided to watch this in the first place. I've never came in contact with Thai drama, except for a few cuts of Full House (Thai). But it ended up raising my radar for Thai dramas.

Storyline: CUTE, CUTE, and CUTE. Totally adorable. I know for some people, this drama might looks stupid, unrealistic, etc. But WHO CARES? This drama is supposed to be a no-brainer anyway. I really enjoys the chemistry and interaction between Joo & Seua. Oh the puppy love! It gives me butterfly every now and then. And... No spoiler, but just so you know, the ending might be even better than you imagine. LOL.

Actors: Even though the impression left by Joo's character is a little less than I've predicted, but others' character left a pretty deep impression for me, especially, Seua's character. He looks so damn fine & natural, it looks like he's acting as himself. And for some time, I was totally infatuated with Push, until I come to my sense. But that is how good his acting is for me. And for Bee's character, he's such a sweetheart! Would like to have a friend like him for myself.

Overall, if you're looking for a no-brainer, puppy love, all-rainbows-and-unicorn kind of drama, you might want to consider watching this one. The chemistry is perfect, the actors are outstanding, the storyline is light and fluffy. Definitely a must-watch for romance-lover out there.

Actually, I don't know what to write about this drama.. The truth is, I started watching To The Beautiful You, solely because I'm a hardcore fan of Minho. I've watched the Japanese & Taiwanese version a long time ago, and I thought both of them are great.. So, even though I didn't have much expectation, I decided to give it a try..

Story: yeah, basically it's romance comedy all the way. Korean version always have those different kind of vibe when they remakes a drama. I can't help but comparing with 2 other versions. This Korean version is more likely a romance, different with the other versions (especially the Japanese one) which more likely focused on comedy. The story itself is predictable, since, I've watched the other versions as well. Although I didn't feel that the story was dragged, sometimes, I feel like there were quiet a lot unnecessary scenes here and there. But as it is for the sake of the "comedy" genre, I didn't really mind though..

Acting: Minho did a good job in my opinion (regardless I'm a fangirl of Minho :p) IMO, he portrays the arrogant Kang TaeJoon really well. As for Sulli, I have to say that she's not as good as the other version's. I don't know, but IMO Sulli didn't really give the "guy" vibe. Different from Horikita Maki (Japanese), which I think, the best one among 3..
Lee Hyun Woo really did a great job too there. Even though I feel like his character is a bit more gloomy compared with the other version's.
From the supporting roles, I especially likes Kim Ji Won, even though her character is irritating.. LOL.. Her acting was good..

Music: I think SMent just going overboard by releasing an OST album every week in the earlier episodes. But actually IMO, there are just a few outstanding songs, and some just barely heard along the dramas (or it's me who didn't notice). Only a few songs fit the atmosphere of the scene.. I especially like some songs like Sunny & Luna's, Taeyeon's, and Taemin's.

Rewatch Value: beside I didn't usually rewatch anything I've watched, even if I like to rewatching dramas, honestly I would prefer to rewatch the Japanese version..

Overall, I can't recommend this drama though.. Except if:
- you are a fangirl of Minho, just like me (even though there are a lot of times when the romance scenes come, I would feel like throwing anything on my computer screen)
- you like to watch Boys Before Flower (since they come from the same director)
- or... if you insisted to watch.. yeah, well, go ahead.. LOL

First, I tried to be objective here.. This is the first saeguk drama that I liked.. I've tried Hwang Jin Yi, Dong Yi, Queen Seon Deok, and most of them have like over 40s episodes.. I don't really like long-term drama, and so, I don't like most saeguk dramas..

But Moon Embraces the Sun is different.. It only has 20 episodes, and I think it's fair.. Well, I have to admit that the first reason I watch this is because of the casts.. But I end up hooked till the end..

Story: It's kinda different with other saeguk dramas.. It's not just a historical drama, but it is a fantasy and historical drama. I was relieved that the PD decided not to extend to 24 episodes. 20 episodes is perfect for me. The story ended smoothly.. Nothing was rushed, nothing was dragged.. Even though, the ending was kinda sad for me (and bloody).

Acting/Cast: All of the main role did a GREAT job.. Especially for Han Ga In & Kim Soo Hyun. Jung Il Woo was lacking at start, but he got better as the time goes by. But the adult Yeom & Princess Min Hwa don't give the same feeling as the child actor.. That's why I cannot give 10 for the score. But, actually all of them really did great job, especially for their heartbreaking crying scenes.

Music: Moon Embraces the Sun have the best OST so far.. It was proved when some of their soundtrack made it to the top billboard.. Some of them are PERFECT to build the mood, but some of them are just complementary..

Rewatch Value: this is barely because I usually don't rewatch my dramas..

Overall, this is a masterpiece. Best saeguk drama I watched so far. I looked forward for each episodes. And I do think this drama deserve those title "National Drama". Congratulations The Moon Embraces The Sun for preserve those title till the last episodes :)

One of the best fantasy romance I've ever watch.. DEFINITELY.. I started watched this back then when one of my friend recommend this drama to me.. I don't even know who the casts was, I was just bored at the time and decide to watch anything. BUT, I ended up hooked up..

Story: the time travelling theme is not so original actually.. there's plenty of dramas with this theme. I haven't watched Rooftop Prince, but some people seems to compared these two (and from the synopsis that I read, I think it's kinda similiar).. But the flow of QIHM's story, it really carried me out.. I didn't see anything was dragged (except maybe for the last 2 episodes).. Everything was on the right line.. The story was more likely romantic than comedic (which I loved)..

Acting/Cast: DEFINITELY, drama with the best chemistry within the main lead.. Yoo In Na & Ji Hyun Woo are reaaaaallllyyyy good.. Their chemistry was naturally built, and when I read that they dated for real, I am reaaalllyyy happy.. I think most of you agree, that they looks really good together.. The supporting casts are perfect.. They added plenty of comedy here and there (especially the 2012 line).. LOL..

Music: They didn't released much soundtrack, but all of them are pretty good, especially for building the atmosphere..

Rewatch Value: I usually didn't rewatch my drama, but I think I would-some day in the future-rewatch this again.. And much of you maybe would rewatch this :)

Overall, again, this is one of the best romantic fantasy I've ever watched.. I adore especially the chemistry between the lead.. Their romance also pleasant to watch and makes me goes "Awww...".. One of the best romance of the year :)

Actually, I don't know why I start watching Love Rain.. Love Rain starts off with a low rating, even now, it ends also with low rating. But since I was curious with the genre, so I start watching it..

Story: People said that the story was slow.. But hey, Love Rain has the same script writer with Endless Love and Classic. They have the similiar genre actually, especially in first 4 episodes (in the 1970s era).. But as for me, it's perfectly fine. I enjoyed the flow of the story (even though actually I skipped episode 4 and just go through to episode 5). The 1970s story was so fluffy and almost poetic. Classic and romantic. It was different from most of recent dramas (which tend to have romantic comedy genre).
The rest of the episodes (the 2012 era) more likely parted into 2 stories: about Inha-Yoonhee and Joon-Hana. The 2012 stories are not as poetic as the 1970s, but still, it gives the feelings of "classic romance" rather than "romantic comedy". The storyline didn't have much twist, and not much side stories which apart from the main storyline. The story more likely stick with the main storyline and its development. Maybe that's why people becomes bored, because somehow the ending was predictable.

Acting: As usual, Jang Geunsuk was really good (somehow Joon's character remind me of Hwang Taekyung from You're Beautiful.. LOL). There were people who said that Yoona's acting here was terrible, and that her expression was flat. Well, imo, it's not that Yoona can't act, but Hana's character didn't need that much expression. Imo, Yoona already did very well as Hana. Their chemistry also really good.
But why I can't give 10 on score board was because, the older character, not all of them give me the same feeling as when they were younger.

Music: sooo heartwarming, especially Jang Geunsuk's Love Rain :) I definitely will listen to the whole album.

Rewatch value: as I said, because the storyline was slow and pretty predictable, also because there's not much twist, maybe not much of you would like to rewatch this. I, myself, not really rewatch the dramas I've watched. So, yeah..

Overall: This is a great drama, for you, the classic romance fans.. If you're looking for romantic comedy with a lot side stories and a lot of twist, maybe you will drop this drama from the very first episode.
If you can't stand the 1st episode, I suggest you can skip straight to episode 5. You maybe will lost the story a little, but there were plenty of flashbacks so maybe you can catch up with the stories, or maybe you can just focus on Joon-Hana's love line :)
