So many stories badly blended...
I love romances.I even try to endure the absurd length of this show, the boring pace and shallow characters.
So… here I go…
STORY – the premise could lead to a great story… Lots of stories badly condensed in a show. Maybe some could be developed or not even included… Maybe there will be a time without movie actors or singers… Really try hard to like the idea of that couple or even imagining 5 years of silent dinner…
Most of the characters are envolved in a masochist relationship, fighting to see who suffers more to protect others…
ACTING
Choi Sang Eun (Park Min Young) – I like her shows. I think this one is one of the worst I saw from her, specially because of the story and her character…
Jung Ji Ho (Go Kyung Pyo) – lacking any social skills became a judge. His love for Sang-Eun is sweet, he even showed power and competence taking care of her…With him I learn that in Korea a broken arm leads to spending days in the Hospital…
His team was good entertainment…
Kim Jae Young (Kang Hae Jin) – of course, the actor. Very likable. A little naïve with his feelings and actions that put all in risk. His team was ok.
Lee Joo Bin (Jung Ji Eun) – a good alpinist, climbing the ladder of the rich and powerful… thought that her end would be different.
Jin Kyung (Yoo Mi Ho) – Badass woman. Mixed feelings about her. Deserves most of the interest in the drama for me. Could her story be more explored…
MUSIC – I do not follow much k-pop and that kind of music. Some are great, but in this show, I cannot remember any…
REWATCH VALUE – maybe one or two scenes, but I doubt. In every aspect in a show, I can recall better shows than this.
OVERALL – sometimes I had to watch in 1,5x because it was a little boring, especially the boomerang story in the second half. I enjoyed enough not to think that I completely wasted my time.

Feel good with a right ending
Good story.STORY - nice story about a lawyer that is killed by mistake in heaven and, to return to her rightful place, has to take the place of the mother and wife in a family. She has to endure a completely different life, but in the end, she understands that love and be loved is the best thing she can have.
ACTING - good. All is done with competence
MUSIC - Did not pay attention to the OST
REWATCH - if I stumble with this I can watch it again. However, it will not be in my rewatch list!
OVERALL - good story. If you like light feel good and a little comedy this is good to watch. The ending is good, because I have in my mind the follow up...

Too tired to think about it...Did i enjoy at least some?
I feel like Peeping Tom, desiring to see the end of this.Tooooooo long!
As always, the drama had so many unnecessary moments and a rushed ending…
Pitiful characters, most of them…
I don’t know and don’t pay any attention to who is or are the writers. But I think this was written buy a woman for sure. I will not talk about female friendship, but male friendship, especially that where they considered themselves as brothers, will not have that kind of behaviour (like Jun Woo did with Jung Sun). Maintaining friendship and girl????
STORY - a couple that love eachother (but just one of them knows that) break up. I can't describe the plot, don't know if there is one.
It starts with some adults that writes about others behaving immaturely or with ignorance... Writers, businessman and a Chef.
I prefer the concept of Greenaway's The cook, the thief, his wife and her lover!...
Jun Woo seems a bright and conniving successful business man. How can he supposed to think that he could win Hyun Soo heart by destroying their relationship??? Could he? Could she fall in love for a man that tries to destroy her bf like that??
The story around scripts and dramas and writers wasn’t engaging to me. Maybe if we could see some of the development of the stories they wrote.
So, in the end, it all ends in the relation of Hyun Soo and Jung Sun. And that’s it. They were separated for 5 years, when he made a call and she didn’t answer. Was she supposed to know that he was traveling that day? No! So, WTF??? He loved her so much and went away with a call when going to the airport???
The other romantic relationships didn’t exist, except in concept (we know they were there) …
ACTING - The acting was nice. I like and have seen some works of most of them and I enjoy their performance.
MUSIC – don’t remember, so I think it was ok, but forgettable to me
REWATCH – no.! There are so many better dramas and I don’t remember any interesting scene to revisit.
OVERALL – very long, with a weak story and a boring plot. I like some of the dialogues, that part was good, especially between the ML and FL. If there is another romantic drama to see… maybe you can skip this. Or give it a try, the first episodes are not bad.

Short but uninteresting drama
Well, the sinopsis deceived me a little.I did not liked it and did not understand what the director wanted to share with the viewers.
STORY - boring, a first love in school that last some years and...
ACTING - they did the job. With the shallow personality showed here there was not much to do
MUSIC - can't remember
REWATCH - never, there is not a story to rewatch...
OVERALL - a waste of almost 40 minutes of nothing...
Can not find a reason to watch this, but the good reviews that I read are a mystery to me...

Amazing action scenes
I liked it!It is not a surprising story and there are some movies with similar plot.
Protecting someone, revenge, misleading, etc.
The characters are interesting, the plot ok.
STORY – the story is not unique, but I liked it. I found myself waiting to see what would happen next.
ACTING – I think most of the characters did a very good job and the fighting scenes are amazing.
MUSIC – I do not recall it well, so I think it did the job, but without being amazing.
REWATCH –the action scenes for sure, because I already know the outcome.
OVERALL – very entertaining and I really that if you are looking for an action movie with lots of good scenes without resembling a marvel movie, you should try this!

Poderia ser mas não foi...
Na maioria dos casos, creio que os dramas são extremamente longos. Aqui dá-se o caso oposto, muita coisa pendente por explicar, desenvolvimento muito deficiente, quer dos personagens, quer do romance e história...Poderia ser mas...
HISTÓRIA - confusa e não ganhou com o anacronismo das cenas. Ficou muito vazia de conteúdo.
ATUAÇÃO - nada de relevante. Nenhuma performance extraordinária. Apenas suficiente.
MÚSICA - apesar do que tenho lido, nenhuma me agradou particularmente, bem tornou a história ou as cenas melhores
REVER - nunca, com tanta coisa boa por aí...
NO GERAL - a ideia da história é interessante. Poderia dar mesmo algo mais curioso e bem feito, até mais longo. Assim, parece uma manta de retalhos, algo partido e mal colado. Não aconselho a não ser para quem vê os dramas pelos seus atores preferidos, o que não é o meu caso.

A drama similar to WH SECRETARY KIM, but not as good
It was ok, i enjoyed watching...STORY - the positive reasons of the drama are others than the plot.The story is similar to other dramas. Side stories not very interesting...
And hard working girl and a rich good man meet and...
CAST- good job of the main actors.
MUSIC - i liked one song. Do not remember the others...
REWATCH - do not think so.... Maybe one or two scenes. I prefer rewatching better dramas with similar plots.
OVERALL - i enjoyed watching. Did not liked the end very much, especially the job decisions of the FL. Did not enjoy the unemployed golfer husband... Or the story of ML's Mother and the take smiles...

At last a good rom/com that just want us to enjoy...
Great show for me.I will not write a long review, because this is a light and joyful drama without complexity.
STORY – it is good, simple, without unnecessary plots or scenes. We have 2 couples, family, friends and work. There are good funny moments.
ACTING – amazing acting, especially crazy Shin Ha Ri alter ego.
MUSIC – I don’t recall it and, for me, that means that it wasn’t mind blowing, but did the job.
REWATCH – why not, particularly some scenes, romantic or funny. The whole show? Guess not, but it is not a waste of time.
OVERALL – I love it and the time spent was well worth it. The only thing that I don’t like is the ending. I just don’t understand this trend of not closing the stories. Some shows are plain, simple and good, but deliver open endings or unclose endings that does not make sense. In some show they guide us, unnecessarily for me, through flashbacks like we were too ignorant to not understand what is happening. But then, they want us to deliver a n independent, philosophical open or unclose ending. WTF? Why? Is it such a bad thing for a rom/com to have marriage scenes, scenes of after the gathering?
Rom/com’s are made for our dreams and desires. Not for complex plots…

Am I the Only One with Butterflies? Season 2
2 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
Certainly, there are butterflies indeed!
Well, i am a man who likes women. This is my line of thought and feel… If i said something wrong, please excuse and clarify me!STORY - i really like the story, the pace, the way Jung Ah deals with her innermost thoughts and feelings. It is a love story, or maybe more of a crush between Jung ah and her boss Lee Ji Won. Manager Lee is awesome, a wonderful boss and a beautiful person. I was rooting for them, having the feeling that maybe Manager Lee also likes Jung Ah.
Their relation is amazing, very warm with butterflies in one of them and something different, I guess, on the other…
CAST / ACTING – I think they made a wonderful job! Despite there are 4 to 5 characters, this drama is all about Jung Ah and Manager Lee. There relation is fluffy, sweet, responsible and mature. MUSIC – did not pay attention so I really do not know.
REWATCH – Certainly I will watch it if I have the chance. It is beautiful, short and it made me feel happy. I hope I can watch it with someone at my side and share the feelings.
OVERALL – short, beautiful, love the way the story goes … If you like a beautiful story of office romance you should watch it too. The acting, the simplicity, the rhythm and the story are worth of your time.

There is something wrong in my understanding of japanese love
Just finished the drama.STORY - The story could be interesting to me, but the glue that sticks it all is so uninteresting… And that glue is Ito. A man that does not care at all for his lovers. And 4 lovers that do not have any self-esteem. Or maybe there is something quite different in Japanese ways of loving.
I like strong women characters, and in this drama, they are all the opposite.
ACTING – good acting for the most part, even if the characters are not very interesting…
MUSIC – there was a song that I enjoy very much.
REWATCH – will not watch again since I did not like it very much.
OVERALL – do not know what to say. The end is absurd to me. Knock Knock, it’s ITO?!?!?!!?!?!?!
I rate this regarding my feelings watching this. Nothing special about the production, so I stick to the plot.

A japanese "Clockwork Orange"?
The movie is a little weird and i love out-of-the-box movies. The gang of the pantie’s "ninjas", the cult of the zero church (zero must symbolizes the number of synapses of the members), even the question of faith and lust, misandry, and so on…The almost 4 hours does not matter, the story can carry on with different layers…
STORY – lots of intertwined stories in one.
ACTING – I think it was the best of the movie. Wonderful!
MUSIC – not bad but will not remain in my mind except one or two.
REWATCH – some of the crazy and funny scenes yes!
OVERALL - I do not know what to expect because humans can be worse than people think, and reality is more creative than fiction. So maybe the characters could behave like they did. But that is not as important to the movie. The ending is ok, especially the last scene.
But, reading the reviews and watching the movie after… I was trying to discover the masterpiece that was mentioned and all the accolades that were written. I could not find any…
Do not know if a comparison is due, but Clockwork Orange is much much better in addressing some of the themes of this movie and the atmosphere.
Funny, interesting but noooooooooooo, not a masterpiece nor a 10 star!!!
I do not mind when someone gives 10 stars to a show, but do not use technical terms of words like masterpiece. It is not true, mainly in Japanese filmography that is amazing!

Angel's Last Mission: Love
1 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
A story with ballet, but not about ballet. / Uma história com ballet, mas não sobre ballet.
A story with ballet, but not about ballet.STORY - A magnificent and confident ballerina goes blind. Before that, she lost her parents in an accident. Discouraged, frustrated, she lost herself in a world of self-destruction and lack of interest in life. No friends, her own family wish her misfortune and only two loyal servants support her.
Her desire is to commit suicide, but a very clumsy and incompetent angel appears, who saves her, going against his duties.
Twists and turns, loves and dislikes and scenes involving the dynamics of angels (Wings of Desire by Wim Wenders please return!).
She recovers her eyesight, can dance again and, miraculously, continues to outperform all the others. With a new choreographer (like Daedalus fallen from the sky), she prepares for the premiere of the new show and….
Love conquers all.
The villains are despicable and uninteresting. Imbecile uncles, a cousin who feigns ignorance and for whom they destroy Yeon Seo's life. And her psychopathic older cousin.
The boss in charge of the Angel is boring, the almost homeless ballerina and teacher…
ACTING - Shin Hye Sun is an excellent actress and, as always, is superb in a role that could be better. The rest, almost all of them, despite a hole below, fulfill their roles.
MUSIC – with the music of Ballet present the quality is immediate.
REWATCH – I don't think so. There is no scene that stands out, the story is extremely boring as far as the celestial part is concerned (sounds like Philip K Dick's The Adjustment Bureau – but written badly), the villainy scenes are boring. Even the romance didn't convince me. Everything was very fast, the falling in love, which is strange in a Korean series where, normally, a kiss takes 10 episodes or does not appear at all.
OVERALL – I love rom-coms, I think the lead actress is divine in her performances (especially in Mr. Queen), I always wish for happy endings, which are not outlandish, but which may not be the most logical ending to a drama. But this one didn't convince me.
Uma história com ballet, mas não sobre ballet.
HISTÓRIA - uma magnífica e confiante bailarina fica cega. Antes disso perde os pais num acidente, Desanimada, frustrada, perde-se num mundo de autodestruição e desinteresse pela vida. Sem amigos, com familiares que desejam o seu infortúnio e apenas apoiada por dois leais empregados.
O seu desejo é suicidar-se, mas aparece um anjo muito trapalhão e incompetente, que a salva, contrariando as suas funções.
Voltas e reviravoltas, amores e desamores e as cenas envolvendo a dinâmica dos anjos (volta “Wings of Desire” de Wim Wenders!...).
Recupera a visão, volta a poder dançar e, miraculosamente, continua melhor que as demais. Com um novo coreógrafo (qual Dédalo caído do céu), prepara-se para a estreia do novo espetáculo e….
Os vilões são desprezíveis e pouco interessantes. Uns tios imbecis, uma prima que finge ignorância e pela qual destroem a vida Yeon Seo. E a sua psicopata irmã mais velha.
ACTING - Shin Hye Sun é uma excelente atriz e, como sempre, é soberba um papel que poderia ser melhor. Os restantes, quase todos, apesar de um furo abaixo, cumprem os seus papéis.
MÚSICA – com a música das obras de Ballet como pano de fundo a qualidade é imediata.
REWATCH – não me parece. Não há nenhuma cena que se destaque, a história é extremamente aborrecida no que diz respeito à parte celestial (parece o The Adjustment Bureau de Philip K Dick - de fraca qualidade), as cenas de vilania são chatas. Mesmo o romance não me convenceu. Tudo muito rápido, o que é estranho numa série Coreana onde, normalmente, um beijo demora 10 episódios ou até não aparece.
EM SUMA – adoro rom-coms, acho a atriz principal divina nas suas atuações (especialmente em Mr. Queen). Desejo sempre finais felizes, que não sejam estapafúrdios, mas que possam não ser o final mais lógico de um drama. Mas este não me convenceu.

Waste of time
I have some guilty pleasures. One is roma-coms or happy endings dramas.This fits that category, but...
So so so many clichest most done in a wrong and forgettable way.
Nothing new...
STORY - A girl does not like Filipino men and that is it. Boring story for me and the way the story develops is also bland.
ACTING - since I am not into fan stuff, I do not know much about the actors. For me, even the performance is really bad. Maybe it could have something to do with the English dialogs...
MUSIC - one calm with English lyrics was ok. The rest reminded me b or c movies from USA. The bad ones.
REWATCH - never!
OVERALL - even as a hangover recovery in a Sunday afternoon this is not good, since it is so bad.
Do not recommend to anyone, especially with so many productions way better than this one...

The awesome idea could be better developed
It started in a good way. The idea of this drama is very interesting, but it lacks depth.STORY - Destiny as a name randomly written on the skin is an interesting story. The problem is that it was not treated as such, just a premise to a love story.
CAST - I think they did a great job. Good acting for me, even with characters that we still do not know nothing...
MUSIC - I do not recall any of the songs, so it wasn't memorable.
REWATCH - even if it's a short drama, knowing the ending is a killer for me. The characters, the side stories, etc are not good, so i will never watch this again.
OVERALL - a nice short drama to spend some time. And that is all. Do not understand the confusion about the gender...

Alexandre Dumas must have died one more time!!!
Bad, really bad.A revenge drama where almost everyone was forgiven and redeemed...
STORY - did not enjoy the story. Lots of twist and turns between a soft person that seeks revenge and 2 uninteresting villains. The revenge plot, the money, company, etc is very bad.
Swan is interesting, Ma Ri is laughable...
ACTING - most of the characters seemed forced...
MUSIC - one song over and over... Do not like it...
REWATCH - never!
OVERALL - as a revenge drama it is not good. As a romance it is worst. Do not recognize any good in this.
SPOILERS SPOILERS!!!!!
Happy ending and forgiveness for almost everybody?!?! I man loses his family, father, sister, bride... And much more! And still talks to the guy that done it like a friend? And his ex-bride stays with him?! The guy that almost killed his sister and was there when his father was killed?
I love happy endings, but this is too much!
