Casa Cheia (2004)

Well, I must say that I'm kind of scared to watch dramas that are really famous.. Just 'cause sometimes I get really disappointed at it. But with this was the opposite. The story is the same you find in so many dramas: a contract marriage, but what makes this drama so remarkable is the way that it flows. You can feel the chemistry between the leads since the beginning, they're so cute together that you start to wish to have one relationship just like them (or that's only me wishing it ;S).. The second leads are really good too; there are so many dramas that you start to dislike those people so much, 'cause every time they are really evil.. the best of this drama is that we don't have it!! Well, this drama was one of the best that I've ever watched. You have romance, comedy, drama and cuteness mixed very well and wonderfully executed. It's definitely a must watch drama.

Hate the dynamic, disrespect and diabolical 'friends'

This drama is the epitome of dog piss. The male lead is rude and inconsiderate, yet, the female lead keeps going back to him. The "friends" don't make any sense. They literally ruined a naive orphan's life — 15 years down the drain — yet people are expected to let them run loose without having a shred of guilt. And what's worse is, after ruining her life, they casually come back and she let's them in, like WTF?? Them being pregnant isn't anyone's responsibility — certainly not their writer friend's! And Haewon and Youngjae are a match made in heaven, they both want people just to screw with them. I'm on episode 10 but I'll be fast-forwarding just to end this nightmare. It's my fault I started watching this but the reviews were generally positive so it gave me hope, plus it was free on YouTube.
If any one of you has any recommendations on kdramas with nice couples (no name-calling or humiliating) maybe close to strong woman do bong soon (so far, they've been the best couple I've seen, and all it took was for the girl to have superhuman strength lol but the male lead us pretty cute especially when he gets overexcited and flustered with her) Thanks :D

This drama is really a rollercoaster. At first, they don't get along, then they get along, then she leaves, then they argue, etc. It just a repeated pattern in the show. And of course, the cliche scenes. One thing that I really enjoyed about this drama is the ost. The best ost I've heard in a while!

I think the main actors did a good job of portraying their characters. But I agreed with a different review saying how the story drags on. The majority of episodes are more like fillers.

Though I did find some parts to be heartwarming especially near the end of the show. I'll rate this a solid 8.5

The show was ok. I like how it had a contract marriage in the show. Something about the show just didn’t click with me. I think the acting was fine. The script was about average there was nothing too special about what was written. There was no big plot twist that was great. The show is just average. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good. It was boring to watch. But yet I was able to get through the show pretty quick in a way. The makeup, hair and outfits were nice looking. The translation was very well done. There was too much unneeded drama in this story for sure. I didn’t get how the friends could sell her house without the main girl knowing bout it.

Good To Pass Time!

Ji Eun, Young Jae, Min Hyuk and Hye Won.

Who goes to a foreign country for the first time for a few days with no money?!

Apparently, the female lead in this one does!

There is an awful lot of yelling and arguing from the first episode to the last one between the two main actors and it kind of grows tiresome early on.

I did like Ji Eun, Young Jae and Min Hyuk, but didn't find all the humour or dialogue lines funny or that great at times.

The story was good in parts, but even that dragged in certain episodes.

I didn't know the actor of Ji Eun was the same one in The Glory that just came out! Very versatile it seems.

I didn't enjoy the music, most of the fashion nor Ji Eun's hair style until the last few episodes.

There are a lot of moths and flies whether inside the home, the office or even in the car. In a few shots you can see the shadow of the camera man as well as the equipment and this noticeable glare in all of the actors eyes like they all wore contact lens or something and a light reflected off of them.

What is good is this is light hearted on the most part and it is interesting seeing four different people when it comes to love.

Young Jae, a famous actor, has loved Hye Won for years only it is unrequited love plus they treat each other as close friends. He won't tell her because he doesn't want to be rejected or to lose her.

Hye Won on the other hand loves Min Hyuk who is a lady's man and doesn't reciprocate her feelings at all.

At a party Hye Won embarrasses Young Jae by putting him on the spot about him being in love with her so instead he declares his love and upcoming marriage to Ji Eun to save face only Ji Eun and him hardly know each other.

Ji Eun and Young Jae are actually together as her home has been illigally sold behind her back to him so she is trying to pay off a debt to him as well as get the house back.

As for Min Hyuk...

On receiving some of her written work as a writer to review he actually starts to fall for Ji Eun.

So, we have all these different individuals in love - just not with a person that loves them back!

What happens with all of them unfolds through each episode to the very last.

I will say one thing - in reality if someone keeps standing you up over and over again for another person - don't wait. Seriously! Life is far too short to be waiting for another person who is in love with someone else for years.

This series isn't too bad (except all the screaming and yelling) and will pass the time for sure!

First korean drama that I watched and I watched it with the whole family. It was long time ago when I watched it. The first romcom that pave the way and made the korean drama known to the world. If you will watch it today you will say it's ridiculous and simple. But if you watch it back in the day the korean drama is just starting, you will say it is one of the best. Drama with high rating and adorable OTP. Rain is really goodn he is funny and his crying scene will melt your heart.Song Hye kyo as bubbly and dumb is perfect for the role too. I can say they are cute together. This classi drama is really recommended just don't mind their fashion as that was the trend when they did the drama. This will be my all time fave drama and will always have a place in my heart when it comes to korean drama. Because of this drama I became a Rain fan.

I don't get why the bad ratings about this one. I fucking liked it, way much more than some popular rom coms around that people rate 8 or 9.
The thing is, is quite rare me liking both of leads, the way I liked these both.
This is a lightheaded drama, this is not supposed to be heart throbbing romance, more like a comedy. And for that it was really good. I had so much fun watching this. No big dramas, tears and complications.
Like I said before, liked both leads. The female lead wasn't that typical crying around female lead, and the male lead at some point was that typical korean jerk, but as time goes by he reveals himself much more like a shy little boy than the jerk. I fucking loved it. Rain look like a little boy smiling, soo cute.
The only thing that may bother some people, is at some point it becomes dragging, but that happens only if you intend to watch everything in only one day. I got to a point, that I was like, fuck i'm tired of watching, them I'd wait some time and watch it again, and I kept having fun, just as much as before.

Classic

It was interesting to watch such an old series- the clothes certainly dated it!loved seeing a young Rain and he did play the petulant lead so well. However his constant yelling and bullying did begin to wear on me. As did the premise of his promise to protect the 2cnd female lead as a 9 year old and his constant love for such a passive aggressive character. Which brings me to 2cnd ml - he was so mature and kind and I wish she had fallen for him!
So the FL is a great actress who showed such great hurt without going over the top - I felt her pain. However as a character, with almost constant acquisence to his petty demands of cleaning and cooking, seen most awfully in the 14th episode just infuriated me. Also she did seem to string the 2ml along - he was nothing but loving and patient and she knew she loved the ml so why not tell him clearly he was just a friend to her? Also with the ml the fact he wanted her and yet still ran to the 2fl on demand made me lose my liking for him- he hurt her again and again and it all just dragged on repetitively beyond even the belief of a romcom. He seemed to both want his cake and eat it! I really couldnt see qhy she fellnin love with him as for the most part he wasnt that nice to her!
The humor left me cold- maybe its the age of the film, my age or the cultute clash ( I'm English!) Also despite emotive performances there were no real heart fluttering scenes between the two - not even a hand hold!The first and only kiss was not even lukewarm- most unconvincing kiss I've ever seen!
So overall a light watch that would have been better if cut to less episode's given the repetitive scenes and simple plot , and lack of any real physical affection apart from when one or other of them was sleeping or ill!
