Alright, it's an old drama, the fashion is terrible, the filming is so so, and it's based on a teen manga- but it's dramatic and romantic. It's not a long winded series where you have to wade through half a dozen episodes before anything happens. Every episode is eventful, the plot lines are pretty direct, the villain is obvious and you'll love to hate her, and all of those classic shameless drama issues occur. If you like Taiwanese dramas and can stomach the dated fashion, it's worth it. It's not going to be your favorite, it's not even worth a good rating, but it's a clean cut and satisfying drama.

Finally i have completed YI SAN!!!! People this is the LONGEST DRAMA EVER I`V WATCHED. Don`t get me wrong i loved it, the length was not really called for thu. I think they could have cap it around 50 episodes the most. The Music was very good but i gave it an average score due to the limited variety, it was the same song over and over. The rewatch score cut due to the length and not the quality.
Its a beautiful story of a hard working king, whom loved his people with his very life. He is truly one of Korea`s greatest ruler. Yi san tells the story of King Jeongjo, or Yi San, the 22nd ruler of the Joseon Dynasty, revered in Korean history for his championing of democratic rights for the Korean people, and for his bureaucratic reform, Be advice the ending is very sad:'(

As a big fan of IWGP and after searching for this Special for months my expectations were really high, even though I only heard bad things about it. My overall facit after watching it: It's not as bad as they say, but it's not good either.
Still I enjoyed seeing the IWGP characters again so much that I rated it a lot better than it deserved.
The acting was okay, similar to the drama. The music was actually the same as in the drama which made it a little nostalgic. I think it was perfect. Apart from the background music this special had at least two scenes were they should've shortened the songs a lot. Those were concerts.
The story itself was move like a drama episode than a movie. Nothing special to be honest, but it had funny moments and less awkward and embarrassing scenes than the drama - Well, it was only a tenth of the length, though. ;)
I was really disappointed how less screentime the supporting characters had. Especially those I loved so much during the drama. Especially Takashi.
I loved some of the new characters, though. They were cute. It was also interesting to see how other characters developed during the 3 years.
Overall I think this is worth a watch if you're a fan of the drama. If you didn't enjoy the drama you shouldn't watch this, it's the same. :)

I started to watch this drama because it was in a very high position in every drama ranking I've seen. And it was fun to watch it. But I'm quite sure I won't watch it again (maybe just because I rather don't re-watch dramas and films). The story wasn't bad although there were some moments I didn't like, but still- there were some which makes me laugh and one or two- even cry! I liked the actors a lot- they created their characters really good. Maybe Go Mi Nam saying 'I'm sorry' all the time was sometimes a little bit annoying but on the other hand: there's no possibility that you don't know how to say 'I'm sorry' in Korean after watching this drama hahah when it refers to music I remember only one song which was a hit of A.N.JELL and they sang it quite often. Overall 8- the drama was funny and positive so I like it.

I started to watch this drama because of Lee Min Ho who's my favourite actor but I needed to watch only one episode to come to like Park Gae In a lot. Maybe the story wasn't a masterpiece but I think it wasn't bad- I had a lot of fun while I was watching this drama. The actors were good- especially Lee Min Ho. I must admit I do not pay attention to music in films and dramas- I can't recall even a fragment of any song from this drama so it makes me feel sure the music wasn't outstanding but on the other hand I remember it wasn't annoying. I like this drama quite a lot so maybe I'll watch it again although I'm not a person who re-watches films or dramas really often. In general 9- ?? ?? :D

I love this drama! Absolutely in my Re-watch list.
The story plot might be simple : a girl who happened to be a princess and bla bla bla but when I watched this drama I do really enjoy how the story went all the way to an ending.
Making a really good (not boring) drama with a common story plot is difficult, but I think the team of My Princess nailed it!

As for the cast,
I love the chemistry between Song Seung Hoen and Kim Tae Hee. I can actually see them as couple when I watched this drama.

However, I kinda disappointed with the music. The soundtrack of this drama doesn't really catchy as other Kdrama soundtrack. But, overall I still love it!

I am not sure whether I like this drama or not.
I like the story plot. Heart-breaking, aching, yet remarkable.
Well, the casts did good job while starring in this drama. They succeed to make me (as the watcher) felt all of their random emotions. The scene and music are great too.

However, as it goes on, I kinda feel that the story line has been slowed down. Boring and tiring. I can only enjoy the half of the shows and finally found out that I have been skipping some of the episodes.

To sum up, this is not a very enjoyable drama as all of the actors here did cry. So if you are not into something slow and sour, skip it. But if you like heart-aching and slow melodrama, give it a try.

I watched this drama because of Lee Min Ho who's my favourite actor. And he's the best advantage of this drama. I wouldn't have finished to watch this drama if not for his acting. The story is not really good but the worst thing in that drama was Geum Jan Di who was annoying as nobody else and it's rather difficult not to look at her since she's the main character. She was very exaggerate and unnatural. Sometimes I was thinking I just stop watching the drama because of her. The rest of the cast wasn't so bad but wasn't outstanding as well. I remember only two songs from this drama- Because I'm stupid (I like it) and the second one-'almost paradise' (I even don't know the name lol) which was really horrible. I'm not a type who re-watches dramas or films but I'm sure I won't watch this drama any more. Overall-4. Just because I think it could be worse.

It's was the first drama I've ever seen. I even don't remember why I started to watch it but I fell in love with it after only 15 minutes! It's just the best ever!

First thing- story: When I was watching the drama, I was so excited! It really keeps in suspense. I must admit I rather don't like anything what is connected to politics but this time it didn't annoy me. It even makes me want to watch more. What was very important for me was that there was no character in this drama who was only good or only bad. The advantage and faults was mixed in every single character so it made them more human.

Acting/cast: I can't imagine anyone else than Lee Min Ho as the City Hunter. Since I watched the drama, he's my favourite actor. He was totally amazing! Park Min Young was also good- she could make Kim Na Na very positive and strong character. I liked also the rest of the cast- they're really good actors.


Next thing is music: I must admit I rather don't pay attention to music in films and dramas but music in City Hunter was 'jinjja' cool, especially when City Hunter stared to fight haha

Re-watch value: I'm not a type who re-watches films or dramas but City Hunter is not a common drama for me and I'm sure I'll watch it at least once again.

Overall: 10!!! This drama is really worth to watch! I can highly recommend it. Everything in this drama was perfect for me :D

Every time I stumbled over the synopsis of My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, I'd always pass on the drama for no logical reason. Recently, though, I've been in a funk and needed some humor, so I decided to watch this drama. Now I'm wondering whether my head was screwed on straight when I skipped it all those times before now. For if there is one thing I can say about this drama, it would be that it never holds back.

The story is filled with many twists and turns, and though that may be confusing, I think it was fairly well done. It kept me invested in what was going to happen to both Dae Woong and Gumiho.

I can't say enough about the acting. I had never seen Lee Seung Gi or Shin Min Ah in any other drama before this, but I now wish that I had. They were great together and had so much chemistry! I rooted for them from beginning to end, and every time they cried, I cried. The supporting cast was good as well, especially Ban Director and Min Sook, who were epically cheesy but so sweet together.

The Hong Sisters are always known for their musical prowess in dramas. This drama doesn't disappoint that generalization. I think this might be my favorite OST of any of their dramas.

I will rewatch this drama because I've fallen so in love. If you find yourself debating on watching this, I say give it a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

When i first saw the title of this film I was far beyond intrigued to say the least. As i enjoy a good steamy romance every now and then. Or at least that's what I was expecting at first, but then I found out it was a romantic comedy. Which is cool, if not even better because that's my favorite genre.

Unfortunately, I feel like this film didn't do all that great on either end to be honest. While the movie was /sort of/ funny (and i use this description loosely) i was bored while watching it. On top of that I found their forms of "seduction" entirely too unrealistic and disgustingly cheesy; so, I didn't necessarily enjoy the romance aspect of it either. It was weak.

However, I did enjoy Song Il Gook's acting. Though Son Ye Jin's character made me want to bang my head against a wall because the girl is really annoying and overall made the movie hard to enjoy which is sad for me to say because I actually really do like Son Ye Jin.

Overall, this movie is simply really shallow and holds no special aspects at all in my honest opinion. Kind of felt like i wasted my time on it; which is a huge disappointment considering I kind of added this to my watch list with high hopes.

Story - The fact that this drama took on a story that you never see scored it some big points with me. It was a very nice change from the usual girl-pretending-to-be-a-guy or I-hate-you-but-I-love-you dramas that always seem to air. The person that thought this one up is, in my opinion, a genius.

Acting/Cast - Before this even came out, I was already waiting in anticipation because I absolutely love So Ji Sub and Lee Yeon Hee. I was definitely not disappointed. Those two, as well as the rest of the cast, did an amazing job in their roles. The good guy roles, as well as the bad guy roles, were very believable.

Music - This was probably one of my favorite parts. The first half of the drama or so, you hear 'The Phantom of the Opera' a lot, and that song is incredible. Then there was the instrumental 'GHOST' that played a lot that I thought was fantastic. The rest of the songs + instrumentals played throughout were amazing as well.

Rewatch Value - I don't really like to rewatch dramas often, but I could definitely imagine myself watching this one again at some point in the future.

Overall - Overall, this whole drama, I think, is perfect. Like most dramas, it had its ups and downs, but I feel like the pros far outweighed the cons. There are two factors that really set this drama apart from other dramas for me.
1) The main focus of this drama wasn't a love story. In other dramas, that's almost always either a main story, or it becomes on 1/4 of the way through.
2) It didn't spend the whole time dragging on with one storyline. There were a few smaller ones tossed in that kept it interesting without taking away from the drama as a whole.

All I wanted was to watch a light drama. I should've known better--a ghost love-interest never ends in a everyone-gets-what-they-want way.

The story is short yet interesting--which is what you want in a drama special. The writer/director did a really good job of making you grow to care for the characters. That makes the ending really pull your Heartstrings.(See what I did there? Heh.) Seeing how this kind of story has a limited way of ending, I liked the way they decided to end it. How else is a ghost drama supposed to end?

Bong Tae Gyu and Park Shin Hye were great together. There were moments where Shin Hye would try acting mad/scary, but she couldn't really make me believe it--she's just too cute ^^. Tae Gyu was excellent in showing the pain and strain in his features.

The music starts off pretty whimsical. It's a nice drama soundtrack. The creepy music and accents come in at the right time and quickly made light following the mood. It's too bad there weren't more like-minded scenes.

I might watch this again. Even though I know what happens in the end, I'm sure that will just make my heart ache just as much if not more than the first time. Knowing what's coming makes it a greater tragedy.

Altogether, if you enjoy romance, tragedy, and a dash of the supernatural--all the while trying to deduce a culprit--then give this short drama a try!!
