Drama Special Season 3: Don't Worry, It's a Ghost
24 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
While the story is nothing extraordinary, it was pretty engrossing. It was well written and cute overall. It has the right amount of humor and emotions in it. The ending was particularly good. I really wish this was a full length drama. I hope they make something similar because that would be so good!
The actors acted well and the musical score was also good. I really enjoyed watching this and wish that there could be more such kinds of one-episode dramas made. It is really worth a watch. Definitely recommended!

Personally i'm not a fan of this drama. Truly speaking the time I spent watching it was just a waste.

So, what’s so special about this drama? Most of the time I refuse to watch dramas with mediocre premise, except if they have something special in it. For this one, I found the promotional posters are so beautiful and have special warm feeling in it. (well, I'm such a sucker for visually beautiful scenes)
Get hang for the first two episodes. Many people like this drama from the very beginning. I was not one of them (I did like the opening scene though. The short background of Mu Cheng’s childhood life was so beautifully done. Unfortunately, the later scenes fails to keep me impressed).
Anyway, if you like it from the first episode, I guess you will love it till the end. But, if you still cant get into the story even after the 3rd episode, I guess this drama is simply not your cup of tea ;)
For me, after watching the first 3 episodes, I started to get addicted. There’s something in this drama which I can’t describe clearly. Maybe because of the beautiful scenes, maybe because of Guang Xi’s mighty charm, or the uber touching lines, or Xiao Le’s cuteness, or the beautiful background musics, I dont know, I’m not sure. Something I know for sure is I like how the scenes are cleverly connected to each other when you dont expected it, and how the two second lead characters which arent bitchy.
What I didn't like from this drama is, it dragged quite long in the middle episodes. If they shorten it into 10-15 episodes, I think it will be a lot better :)
Detailed rating:
Plot: 2/10 » As I said before, the idea is really not at all great and even cheesy. That from-hate-become-love plot. That gorgeous rich playboy who “unexpectedly” fall in love to that “special” poor girl (yes, that Cinderella plot). That 4-square love plot. We all have seen many other stories which conveys this kind of stories. Not even to say that amnesia! Oh God! These types of plot I usually stayed away from. (I hate all of these cliche so much I wanted to rate this 1/10. I give them extra +1 point for featuring parenting issue)
Scriptwriting: 6.8/10 » The interesting side is, even with those lame plots, the story will keep you digging for more. What happen “now” is related to the next story. There are many beautiful scenes and touching lines which will warm your heart for sure. But they dragged it too much in the middle part. The first 6 episodes was great but the latter was not. Anyway, the story was split to 2 parts with episodes 6-7 acted as divider episodes. I prefer the earlier part. The later was just dragged too much.
Directing: 7.5/10 » The scenes are well-filmed, and the editing is nicely done
Acting: 8/10 » Ady An and Van Ness Wu did a very good job here. About the little boy Xiao Xiao Bin’s, well, he wasn't bad, but sometimes we still can clearly see he is not that natural in acting. Dont get me wrong, I love him too! I know, he is cute. I admit for his age, it was really wonderful acting skill. The rest of the cast are excellent. I’m not too fond with the villagers acting, forced acting, but I think it was okay regarding they’re just minor supporting roles.
Soundtrack: 10/10 » The soundtrack was simply perfect. All of the songs beautifully captured the emotions of the scenes. Well done.
Overall Rating: 7 » Enjoyably good. I just hope they shorten it though. Not recommended if you can’t stand slow-paced series. Highly recommended if you like romance stories mixed with family theme.

Yes it has the love triangles and first love cliches, but I loved the main couple so much I overlooked all that. Jun is the typical playboy with an attitude and ego, he knows it and I love it. HaNa is the typical innocent trusting naive sweetheart who gets a first in everthing with Jun (so cute but thank god not clumsy and stupid, like some heroines)
There is the most adorable romance, then the painful seperation and resolving of the conflicts, and a well done ending. All done in a beautiful mannar, the scenery is lovely, the music is catchy and the side charactors all cute.
It is one of the few dramas, apart from coffec Prince, Goong, Shining Inheritance I have rewatched and enjoyed all over again.
The actors did a wonderful job, I hope to see more from this team!!!

Like the synopsis, its about hacking and murder with hardly any romance and a speck of comedy here and there. But the suspence is so gripping you cant let go. It keeps you guessing and trying to figure whats going to happen next to the extent you just want to keep watching.
Im sure there are other similar ones, but this a first for me that had me so addicted (to a suspense drama)
The main pair is nice but the second lead pair is really cute, I enjoyed their scenes a lot.
Then ending was amazing and they finished off the drama really well. I really have to praise the writers for that..(cant say for some of the others who mess up a real good drama with a messy ending eg bag guy, big)
Well guys if you want to see a drama that keeps you on the edge then go for it!!!you wont regret it even the romantic lovers like me

Anyway, once again, here is a Japanese drama with a highly new kind of concept. I have never seen a show with flight doctors in it. This was very thrilling to watch. Every episode had something very different to offer and I liked that. I find medical cases to be interesting and they give me adrenaline rush. The execution of the overall plot made the show very believable. I am always awed at the life of doctors because they are such tough people. This drama shows their trials and tribulations perfectly.
The only thing lacking was the lack of good characterization. While the professional life is portrayed well, a little more emphasis on their personal lives could have made this show perfect. Each character had enormous potential to be outstanding but this one aspect is kind of left incomplete. But still, this show is very good and I heartily recommend it to anyone and every one who likes good medical dramas.

The cast is good, and its characters too.
But for Jun Ha/Ma Roo's character.. this guy gave me mixed feelings. He seemed a maniac sometimes, I loved him as much as I hated him. I wish the scriptwriters could be a bit more human and show some feelings too. He seemed to "go where the wind take him".
However, on the contrary of other reviews here, I found this drama not long at all. I mean, truth that it was 30 episodes, but I have watched dramas with only 14 episodes that dragged the story a lot more. This just gets boring when we reach the 25th, 26th episode... I had to forbid myself from doing fast-forward (hehe)
This is a good drama, at least for entertainment. I was a bit sad that they didn't develop the guy's sickness a bit more or show more romantic scenes... . They leave around the middle some loose tips, and don't really explain things sometimes, but it was good.
If you are planning to watch this because of the matter of deafness I suggest you to check jdramas instead. This one was more focused on other things than it.

King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo

Story: Prepare for an emotional ride. From the first episode, I just can't let go. A real makjang drama at its finest, it made me shed tears by episode 3. The story will tell you about a guy with painful past, lost family, with nowhere to run, with absolutely nothing at his hand strives to find himself, his dreams and his newly-found family through the world of baking. The childhood part for me was greatly done, it's the family history that made me invest deep emotions; for the 2nd half of the drama were flashbacks has to be made, sad emotions run down and I cried. I lost count how many times I cried in this drama. Most of the lines coming from the teacher were really inspiring and will let you ponder about life in actuality.
The romance is unconventional. It's not I-know-already-who-end-up-who typical love story. It all ends up to a matter of choices. I did like the ending, it's open yet satisfying and will leave you a resting feeling.
Cast/ Acting: The child actors were definitely amazing in conveying heavy-toned drama in the first episodes. Yoon Shi Yoon maintained the well built TakGu character. He was very convincing and his expressions will make you understand what hardships he's going through that seeing them makes it painful. When he cried, I can't help but cry too. Shin Yu Kyung's character is complex and yes, she's also believable. I initially watched this because of Joo Won and I can say, he's also very good in here, the shifting from bad to good was portrayed well, I also did cry for him at the end. The two main antagonists were not a letdown, it seemed nothing can stop them in doing what they want at all cost until the very end.
Music: It simply matches the scenes it has to give enhancements of, and it has a lively yet inspiring feeling as well.
Rewatch Value: It's a heavy drama for me so I will find it hard to rewatch it for sure.
Overall: A great inspiring drama that will max-out your emotions( it is for me anyway) but in a good way! It will make you sad yet satisfied, this is one of those dramas that is hard to forget. :)

Stars Falling From the Sky

When the show starts, Pal Kang is a frivolous, irritating young woman who doesn't care about anything other than landing the lawyer as her husband. This show does an amazing job of show casing her growth as a person and as a mother. My only complaint is the sheer number of times she felt the need to say that when she cut her hair in the bath house, that was when she stopped being a woman. There are some episodes where she felt the need to point that out 3 or more times! As for her male counterpart, his growth was also very interesting to watch. I definitely enjoyed just how much room the writers gave these characters to grow together.
As for the remaining cast, the nephew was hilarious, if a little too much at times. His love for Pal Kang was a welcome comedic relief though. And the three children's devotion to each of Pal Kang's potential husbands was also something that was really fun to watch. I never did end up liking the brother, Joon Ha, though. He always came off as kind of slimy, even when he was trying his hardest to be a sincere knight in shining armor. Ugh, and don't even get me started on Jae Yong. Her strict adherence to the idea that Kang Ha had to marry her absolutely, no matter what, was irritating, cause it's never given a clear motive of why. It doesn't make sense, the lengths she goes to to force Kang Ha into a relationship with her.
And this is definitely a show that ends up jumping the shark in the last episode. Majorly. Without spoiling it, let's just say, the last episode felt as if the writers were giving a big middle finger to the audience's intelligence, I have to say. Maybe if they had spent a little more time developing hte storyline they threw in in the last episode, it might have made more sense.
All in all, this show is a cute, easy watch. Nothing ground breaking or earth shattering, but fun and cute, even if you do end up wanting to punch several characters straight in the face at times.

The best way I can think to describe the series would be that it's like a lava cake; a perfect balance of a warm, gooey center and fluffy outer layer. It's funny, light, adorable and touching.
I was instantly drawn into the humor of the main storyline because I myself have a very close relationship with my Mom and she can also be very overprotective at times. But even if you aren't able to relate, the story is still pretty hilarious.
The romance is one of my favorite types; it's not filled with TONS of drama and constant almost unrealistic problems, but rather the issues that they face are actually pretty realistic and down-to-earth.
This drama won't make you cry or require a huge bowl of ice cream to comfort you; it will leave you feeling warm, happy and satisfied. I'd easily recommend it to those who want a break from really heavy, overly dramatic dramas.

Whether you are Ranma fan or not, just don't expect anything spectacular from this, and you might enjoy it :)
(If you are a fan of the manga/anime, prepare not to see many of familiar characters, including Ranma's main rival: Ryoga (& ofcourse P-chan))

Friendship/Bromance Sageuk went wrong
I have nothing against sageuk / period dramas, whether classic or fusion sageuk, there are some which were really great, and there were some which just so so for my taste, but this one was really poorly done. Let alone the cheesy premise, the plot and story development were really awful. There were tv-dramas with cheesy premise but still manage to charm you, but this was not one of them. It actually started out decent, until they hit the 15th episode or so.. Too many side stories and those side stories got more screentime than the main story. Unimportant supporting characters also got more screentime than most of the main characters. It's like the writer himself realized, the main plot was not that interesting, so let's just cover it up by playing more with trivial side stories. *bigfacepalm*Cheesy premise + weak story/character development + too many unimportant scenes + too many plot holes + average actings = disaster! The only likeable thing from this drama is the character Kwi-dong, and he (plus his bromance with Chun Doong) was the only reason I finished this.
The best thing of this drama was the friendship/bromance between the main lead. They should stated Chun Jung Myun and Lee Sang Yoon as the lead actors (not Chun Jung Myung and Han Ji Hye, as her role turned out to be really not that important to the story!).
Overall, I can only recommend this to Lee Sang Yoon & Chun Jung Myung fangirls. On the other hand, I suspect Han Ji Hye's fanboys would be dissapointed by how little her role turned to be.
If you are a fan of sageuk dramas, and expect an epic sageuk, fat chance you'll get disapointed.
Rewatch value is only nice if you go for selected scenes.
Objective value: 6.5
Subjective value: 5.5
