The characters, at first may seem a bit tiresome, but they have this uncanny knack of growing on you, until you genuinely care for them and wish to see them happy, successful or in some cases burn in hell. It will make you laugh and cry, which is what all good dramas should invoke. Throw into the mix a nice, non annoying soundtrack and some pretty good cinematography and you get a seriously a good watch. Strong recommended, not just for viewing but repeated viewings as well.

I even managed to regain my composure after the initial excitement, let some time pass and cool down, in order to look at it with a less passionate, more objective stance. The result is, SG remains my all time favourite, a drama I have watched and rewatched and will watch again until the characters and the script will be integral part of my life - perhaps they already are.
The plot speaks fot itself. There is fun, romance, magic, tragic, twists and literary references. It flows without interruptions, making you laugh like crazy and cry like a baby, at times flooding you like high tide, but it never leaves one dry or unsatisfied: questions are answered, references fulfilled, all spiced up with a little magic.
The script is unique and brilliant. The funny lines are hilarious, the serious ones thought-provoking. Nothing about this script is either predictable or shallow, making the characters come to life and become realistic in a fantasy world.
Which inevitably leads me to the acting, which is outstanding. The main leads have to play the part of themeselves, then that of the other, then that of the other playing the part of themselves. Lesser actors would have screwed up, but Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin both do a fantastic job, providing laughters in heaps and tears in the same amount. And their love story is just as beautiful as their chemistry on screen is sizzling.
The secondary characters are not mere supporters. They are all interesting, complex personalities who adds to the plot and the dynamic wonderfully.
The music is addicting, even for a K-pop ignorant as myself. Songs and lyrics are never chosen randomly but highlight and define the scenes they soundtrack.
I can't ask more of a drama. In fact, I doubt I'll find something to fully compensate for the end of this wonderful show.

1% of Anything is a typical Korean family drama. It's a drama that explores Korean family interactions with a lot of laughter and love.
PROS:
The plot was simple enough maybe even a bit predictable, but the interactions between Jae In (Kang Dong Wan) and Dada (Kim Jung Hwa) were pretty fun to watch. Jae In was really well portrayed by Kim Dong Wan and he was pretty funny to watch, as his character really stood out in terms of personality. Grandpa was another plus to the drama, in terms of acting.
CONS:
Dada seemed to have a limited range of facial expressions, which slightly annoyed me.
Towards the end of the drama, there was more focus on the side characters, instead of the main couple, which made for some predictable and dull watching.
The OST for this drama was not very memorable at all.
Overall, 1% of Anything is a decent Korean family drama with laughs and love.

The plot is a surprise because it never goes in the direction one expected it to. Don't be fooled by an apparently superficial beginning: nothing in Stand Up!! is what it seems.
The cast is a surprise, because despite the very young age of the main leads, the acting is brilliant and gives the viewer a glimpse to the type of actors those young people would become.
The script is a surprise, as it deals with ordinary occurrences, teens fixations and the relationship between teens and adults in a sweet, mostly hilarious way.
You'll find yourself laughing out loud, giggling and, at times, remembering with a smile.

The acting is superb, music is exceptional and it provides everything you are looking in a romantic comedy. There is nothing that i would like to be improved. Its just perfect
This drama alone has turned alot of people, who previously used to look down on me for being an ardent K-drama fan, into K-drama fanatics themselves, after watching this on my insistent recommendation. I myself have watched the drama 3 times and each time i have enjoyed more than before.
Highly recommended!!!

That's pretty much all you need to know
(But that would be a lame ass review ^.^)
I read about this drama and how fast it won on popularity.
And I just wondered how could a 30 episode-story about bread-making be interesting?
But I started it anyway. Even though the first couple episodes are set in the past
and were meant for information build-up,
I think those were needed to give depth to the following episodes.
This drama made me laugh. cry. angry, then laugh again and most of all: It kept me interested. Love and intrigues. The story moves along and progresses constantly. The actors are all very good (AND very good-looking.) ^.^
You can feel the struggle the characters have in the story and feel with them.
Also the music was good.
I even caught myself humming the tunes to it at work.
(Unfortunately I dont understand/speak korean. YET ^_^) haha.
Hoped that helped, and you are now convinced to go and watch it.

I could not understand at first why I was watching and felt something missing. Another review I read said they never seemed more than good friends 'chemistry wise' and that was my Ah Ha! moment.
This is a very cute story. There are some great moments and the male lead's character growth makes this drama for me. But I am giving this an 8 for story and 6 overall because I just could not love it completely.
There is not stand out soundtrack here for me. The music was just fair.
I probably won't watch this again but it was cute so I am giving the re-watch a 6.
If you really want to see a great drama that stars Chae Rim...Again, watch Dal Ja's Spring. It co-stars Lee Min Ki and it is fantastic!

I found the story to be quite enchanting, so much so that I finished the show in 2 days.
I loved the Cast and the Acting in this drama. I fell in love with Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong Wook in this drama. I also loved Lee Jun Ki in it. So I'm giving the Acting a definite 10.
The music was amazing but it wasn't THE best. I'm giving the music a 9.
As for rewatch value, an absolute 10. I've been able to rewatch this drama several times...and im a person who rarely rewatches things!
Overall, i'm giving this drama a 10, since i find it an absolute must watch.
