I luved this drama. That said, I found myself getting slightly board with the series sometimes and turning to other more fast paced shows. But every time I came back to Iljimae it was like drinking a tall glass of ice water on a hot day. Simple, refreshing and so needed. This series has an amazing musical score, great cinematography and the entire cast really delivers solid performances. Iljimae and Wal Hee’s relationship was so different from any other drama romance I have seen b/c Return of Iljimae breaks away from conventional dramas and cliche themes and gives emotions to its audiences. Though I found Wal Hee a little annoying towards the end, I really loved her throughout most of the show. Return of Iljimae did not need to rely on flashy action scenes to stay afloat. It stood on a solid foundation of great acting, an interesting story and intricate character development. I watched Iljimae with Lee Junki first and loved it. I was actually really hesitant about watching MBC's version of Iljimae cause I actually heard that it's not as good as SBS's. Well, I'm so glad I gave it a chance cause I actually think it's better then Iljimae. The emotional development on each character was realistic. And the ending left me satisfied, which is a first in Korean drama for me. It was a beautiful drama, not just visually, but also with how the story progresses for each character. It really saddens me that the rest of Korea couldn't appreciate how great the writing of Return of Iljimae is compared to other shows. Fantastic series. It's my favorite Korean drama...

I was really excited about this drama because I thought it would have the same entertainment quality as Goong. Boy was I wrong. The plot was pretty typical, which I knew going into it, but I thought it may have some sort of twists and turns, which, as I went through the episodes, I could not seem to find. The acting was alright, a bid overdone, but the leads were too cute, so I stuck with it.
The filming, and stylistic elements, like the set design and costumes (which I LOVED) saved the drama. Otherwise, the acting, plot and overall execution wasn’t that great. It isn’t really clear why the two leads fall in love with each other, and it kind of just happens. The typical bad guy figure was just annoying, and her insistence on making things difficult for the leads didn’t really make sense, especially because she never would have gained anything from it.
It was just a strange drama....That’s all I can really say...

While I admit the story line is extremely cheesy in some places, it is just as sweet and touching in others. The relationship between the characters is incredibly well depicted. This is not an indepth story...if you want that go look at Vampire Prosecutor. But neither should you pass it by. Once you get into the story, it's very entertaining and interesting. The characters grow on you with each episode, and you are rooting for their family by the end. Some of the vampire parts are silly, but it was the best for its time. I would actually be as likely to re-watch this as I would be to re-watch Vampire Prosecutor (and in fact I have re-watched this show a couple times). It's short, and is a great just sit back and watch show.

This was a slightly weird drama, and only certain people would enjoy watching it. Some of my friends couldn't stand the basic plotline (one brother giving another his cornea-this is in the description so read that first), but once you get past that, the mystery element is excellent. Each story builds on the previous episode. For once, you aren't trying to figure out who the criminal is, you just want to stop him. It is a fascinating twist on the traditional mystery storyline, and throws in more than enough intrigue and excitement to keep you interested the whole way through. Plus, kudos to the authors for coming up with the unique idea:)

This was definitely my favorite romantic comedy, despite the fact that it was the first Taiwanese show I watched. I had already seen Playful Kiss (which was very well-done), but this version was even more amazingly written. Between this show and the sequel (They Kiss Again), the plotline was far more developed than it was with Playful Kiss. The main characters had more depth and emotion in their roles, and while the quality was not always as good, the story itself was far better. Because it is so long, the writers were able to add more though behind why certain characters act the way they do and to make the whole storyline a little less unbelievable. Plus the two leads always work excellently together. They make the romance seem beautiful and sweet all at the same time. I rewatch this show whenever I want to smile, laugh, or feel that glow inside that comes with knowing there are still sweet, naive, innocent, beautiful romantic stories in the world of film.

Amazing! I don't usually enjoy 2nd or 3rd seasons to shows, because they never quite meet up to the awesomeness of the first season. However, I was happily surprised by the extremely well-done Bloody Monday 2. My first recommendation: You definitely must watch Bloody Monday 1 before this one. While this isn't exactly a continuation of Bloody Monday 1, it is impossible to catch all the nuances without having seen BM1 first. Furthermore, I would recommend not waiting too long in between them. The storyline was naturally not quite as good as BM1, but it was still extremely well-written. The writers threw in enough plausible red herrings and diverging plotlines to keep you satisfactorily confused until the very end once again. The story successfully clears up any remaining issues from the first season, and is much better for having the same cast as the first show. The cast once again play their roles perfectly and believably. It's amazing how well they all work together. This is another definite MUST WATCH, and I almost wish there would be a season 3. Three cheers for one of the few shows where I've willingly seen the second season more than 1ce thru :-)

This is absolutely my all time favorite drama...I've already seen it and the sequel through four times, and introduced several friends to the show. The plotline is fabulously written, and surprisingly believable considering the genre. Some of the scenes are a little forced, but not nearly as many as usually appear in this type of show. The bad guys are not entirely stupid and incapable of winning, which makes the struggle between the heroes and the villains that much more attention-grabbing. The characters fit their parts perfectly, and each one keeps the story moving along until the end. The philosophy that was behind this show is probably what caught my attention the most. It actually raised several concepts that my friends and I spent a great deal of time discussing. It was both entertaining and interesting. Furthermore, this is one of the first mysteries I've seen in ages where I actually didn't know who the bad guys were or what was going to happen until the very end. Bloody Monday is suspenseful, fast-paced, well-thought-out, and wonderfully acted from beginning to end. I watched them all in 2 days and instantly got the second season (which is just as good as the first). Definitely a must watch!

I am in love with Down with Love. I have been since the beginning of 2010. I have seen oh, so many Asian rom-coms before, but there is something about this drama that makes my all warm and fuzzy inside. For starters, I LOVE JERRY YAN! OH MY GOD! I had seen two of his dramas before this one and was at first a little worried about how he was going to interact with Ella. However, I just want to say after this drama, "Welcome to the world of romantic comedy, Mr. Yan!" Where on earth were all of those hilarious/cute/WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE?! expressions hiding? Xiang Yu-Ping starts off as your average Asian drama hero (cold exterior, blah blah blah-) but then become this ridiculously devoted, ADORABLE man. All I can say is, I love you Jerry Yan. Please do more of these dramas in the future.
Don't think that I forgot the rest of the cast: Ella was amazing (as always) and the rest of the cast also does a great job (though besides Yang Duo, the drama does not really develop the supporting characters very much). Character wise, I found male and the female second leads to be so much more annoying than usual. This drama was one of those rare times where I absolutely hated the second lead, Ke Zhong. It makes sense that I hated the female second lead (as we should) but I seriously could have thrown a building at KZ during some parts. I mean, this could be considered a good thing because it allows you to ship for YP without any regrets.
As for the story, it does its job. While there are a few unnecessary detours from the overall plot, they allow us to see the two leads in several different settings. I will admit though, by the middle of this drama I was frustrated in that our couple wasn't together yet, but I got over it since the story more or less held my attention.
The soundtrack is sung by S.H.E (Ella's girl group) and Jerry. Need I elaborate? :D

Okay, so here's the thing about Flower Boy Ramyun Shop:
1) It has a wonderful, amusing and fresh cast that has great chemistry together on screen. From the moment I started this drama, I was sold because I found the two leads to be fun and entertaining. While Yang Eunbi drove me crazy sometimes, overall, I found her to be an endearing character. As for Kim... I mean... Lee.. I mean Cha Chisoo (lol, you will get this joke if you have seen the first few episodes) he is the definition of a man child. I am not kidding when I say that he reminds me of a large, spoiled child during several parts of the drama-I am grateful though since he has given me quite a few laughs because of it. The supporting cast definitely hold their own as they struggle with problems of their own; I find it funny that my favorite character is a supporting one. Bawool is the cutest thing to ever walk this planet (no joke!). As for the second lead, all I can say is I love the actor (Lee Kiwoo) to pieces but geez, his character needs to stop being so freaking okay with everything! Also, I want one XDD.
2) The plot was unfortunately rather disappointing. While the drama started off with great momentum and background, by the middle of the drama I was bored. I liked that the beginning focused on so many different types of interactions (friend-friend, father-daughter, student-teacher, husband?-wife??) and Eunbi's struggle to become a teacher. As the drama progressed, however, it became a simple tug of war for the female lead. It did not help that the supporting characters also had less screen time. I am still not sure if I want to finish this drama...I am working on it. All I can say is from where I stand right now, I'm SO bored.
3) I would definitely rewatch the beginning of this drama though. Its such a hilarious, cute beginning. Eunbi/Chisoo are SO SO FUNNY.

I came into this drama without seeing the Taiwanese version and without knowing any of the actors (except for falling for secondary OTP in boys before flowers with KHJ). I have no bias towards KHJ other than the guy sure can make your heart skip a beat when he smiles :)

I have to say this drama is a hate/love one for most who watch it and I fall in the LOVE side. The things that bugged me in the first 2 episodes quickly got fixed/removed (like her daydreams) and from then on I was hooked. This drama has a very lighthearted and BASIC story line people so don't expect great turmoil and over the top romance. Its a simple love story that can truly happen..no crazy twists that make you go "only on TV".

What really hooks me in this drama is the cute/embarrassing moments that happen to Oh Ha Ni that make me cringe and giggle and hide behind my blanket for her sake. I love love that feeling in rom-coms and this drama has so many of them!! Jung So Min plays Oh Ha Ni so perfectly, if it weren't for her I'm sure I wouldn't have continued on with the drama.

I love a good drama like everyone else but I love me some silly too and this drama does silly without being stupid-silly (a fine fine line that's usually crossed making me drop a drama). It may seem crazy from our point of view that this girl is non-stop stalking our poor Baek Seung Jo but just when you think she's going too far, she holds back and restrains herself and just when you think she's gonna get over him, he shows her signs of hope and she's back to her obsession again.

I know a lot of people seem to hate it for the silliness and some people can't seem to get over the differences in PK versus ISWAK but all I can say is if silly bugs you and if normalcy bugs you then this drama may not be for you. I think its because I like J-dramas so much for the silliness and this drama was supposedly a straight adaptation of a Japanese manga that I am used to and enjoy that silliness. If you didn't like ISWAK don't ignore this drama because I couldn't watch past 4 episodes of ISWAK (I tried so many many times but I can't get over how weak the female character is in that one) and I still love this drama.

When this drama came out I was very eager to watch it. I, like most, watched 'You're Beautiful' and really wanted to watch a drama where Yong Hwa and Shin Hye actually get together.

The first few episodes were really good and after the first three I got really hooked on this drama. Then I watched up to episode 9 and the pace of my watching the drama slowed dramatically. After episode 11, I put it on hold since I was struggling to finish it.

They story started off really good but the twists in the story just piled up and became a regular thing which meant that the story line just got boring. It kind of dragged on...

The good things about this drama was the good actors and the amazingly catchy music. The songs were brilliant and so after a long gap, I am going to finish this drama : )

I absolutely LOVE this Drama, I can not tell you how many times I've watched Goong and still feel the same way over and over again it's just that kind of drama.When your watching this you can feel the way Shin Chae-kyung (Yoon Eun Hye) all the through the story and putting yourself in her shoes. Now I was reading the manhwa before I ever herd of the drama and it's pretty much exactly to the manhwa with a little more too it. Overall I love this Drama and it'll always be number 1 to me.

Where do I begin?
I started watching this drama because it was the holiday season and I desired a good romance comedy, and I followed a friends recommendation and started watching this. I can't say that I instantly fell in love with this drama, but I did like this drama from the beginning.

Story:
Overall, I enjoyed the story immensely. So why did I give it a 9 instead of a 10? It's because you know who ends up with who. It's not going to shock you in anyway if you've watched any korean romance comedies. Other than that though.

Cast/Acting:
Perfection. It couldn't have been better. The only thing that was somewhat "different" was Dok Go Jin's voice. His voice is "different". In the end it becomes the most soothing voice though.

Music:
The music did its job very well.

Rewatch Value:
I'm not much of a rewatcher, but I probably will not rewatch this like most other dramas and movies.

Overall:
Overall, I enjoyed this drama so so so much. It's a great drama that'll have you laughing and crying in no time. It's one of the best Romance Comedies out there. Oh and the ending was just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
So go and watch it! You'll enjoy it!

At first I don't really like it because its comedy genre, and I doubt to start watching this because as long as I remember the manga wasn't really appealing to me. Fortunately, I got convinced by all the good review and rank in some site if not I won't see this wonderful dorama.
Comedic dorama based on manga usually have unreal expression in them, and that whats happen in this drama too. But it's not even feel awkward in this dorama. All the character look convincing and play they part perfectly. They played their character into every little detail that make me feel they are the real person.
