There is no doubt that if you want to know about Italian cooking, working as a chef or are just obsessed about food, you might find 'Bambino!' one of the best cookery dramas. If you are looking for a story with a huge depth, twists and magical happenings, you'd best look for something else. 'Bambino!' is a gritty story with no sugar, just salt! After watching Matsumoto Jun in the likes of 'Hana Yori Dango' and 'Kimi Wa Petto' I thought I had watched the limits of the variety of this kid's one eyebrow lifting talent. Watching Matsumoto in 'Bambino!' was like how a kid feels when they discover a new thing their old toy can do! I must admit the main themes of the drama I personally found uninteresting but I found myself drawn in at some point to Shogo's character and developed a need for him to achieve his goals. It's this element that makes it a successful drama but if the subject is not something that interests you, it might be a hard time to ride out to see the outcome of the story. Take my advice and watch the first episode, if you find yourself bored, don't watch it any further, one look at those frustrated eyes and you'll have to watch it to the end, unless you're inhuman!

For those of you who have watched the other versions of this drama, which are "Hana Yori Dango" and "Meteor Garden" and enjoyed it, may want to watch this Korean version. Extras have been added to the story line which round everything up better like secondary characters back stories and more of a rivalry between the 'Rui and Domyoji' equivalent characters. Jan Di's character has been made more capable to cope with all the rotten situations thrown at her and more smarter than Tsukushi's character.

For those of you who haven't watched any of the previous versions of this drama, watching this will take you on a wonderful journey and a roller coaster of emotions, just make sure you have a pillow handy to hide yourself during the painfully embarrassing moments, and are sitting in a sound proof room so your shouting at the screen won't disturb and freak out the people you live with

I must confess I was only interested in watching this drama because I've been following No Min Woo, themes of food don't really interest me, so I was pleasantly supprised when I watched the first episode and really liked it! And then later on I became addicted! What I love the most in this is the interaction between the characters, especially the main couple and there were parts that I found hillarious! The ending was fairly satisfactory and was a well rounded drama. There were a couple of parts that were left unexplained especially where No Min Woo's character was concerned, but I liked it.

MY HEART! oh my heart feels like it's been thrown around like a rag-doll while watching this! If you want something emotionally light watch this another day! What can I say! I loved this drama it was fun, the main characters were different then normal, the scenes were presented brilliantly so the emotions were really conveyed. I was begging for Yoo In Na to play the main character in something, I loved her in Secret Garden and The Greatest love, and I got my wish! Anything negative? not really, I would have liked to have seen some more scenes with the main characters I felt they didn't get a break and three quarters of the way through I found it a bit slow and then it picked up, but no this is one of the greats.

Ah I really liked this drama, I thought it was different, I liked the ghost and the afterlife themes I thought they were interesting and in season for Halloween and they were presented in an interesting way, sometimes I feel the mix of different themes can go very wrong if not presented and introduced well. When I started watching the series there wasn't a full cast list out for it so I was pleasantly surprised to see Shin Min Ah appear, she now has an affiliation with the supernatural type roles, which I don't mind, but I hope she mixes it up for her next role, I would like to see her play different characters. The rest of the cast I loved I thought all the supporting roles were wonderful. Kang Moon Young can be incredibly scary with her eyes she played the part beautifully, and Bang Wool and Dol Soe were so cute. It was nice to see characters like the jade emperor and the king of the underworld being included in the storyline there wasn't a particular need to have them in there but it made the story more dynamic. The story wasn't that predictable in places, which kept me happy. Improvement? I found the music a bit so so, I think there was one track that I liked but the others were a bit non eventful. The story was a bit slow in places just before the end and I feel like there were several scenes that were missed out of the ending, there was several events that passed that I wanted to see, I wonder if that was a time management tactic.
Overall? If you like the supernatural, with themes of ghosts, demons, death and the afterlife in a light hearted manor, with some romance and comedy thrown in there in a historical setting, it's right up your alley. If your not sure, I recommend you watch two episodes and then decide, no drama appeals to everyone.
