Story: What doesn’t sound interesting about this movie? Not only is it funny and cute, it also contains a very important message. The way I saw the message is, beauty equals corruption. Extensive plastic surgery, eating disorders and such. I’m not saying being beautiful is wrong or corrupt. Only the way some people go about achieving it.
I found this movie very funny, the way people treated her, pre and post-surgery. I loved Ha-na’s character and disliked others, but that’s part of the fun of watching this movie. Seeing how people react and change the way they are and think. There was a ton of growth in several of the characters through out this movie. It isn’t just a shallow movie with funny parts. Kim Ah-Joong has you laughing within the first ten minutes.
Music: Some of the best music I’ve ever heard. Kim Ah-Joong, who played Ha-na and Jenny sang all of the songs, including Maria. I’d watch this movie again just to hear her sing.
Cast/Acting: In addition to a beautiful voice, she can really act. Kim Ah-Joong is a triple threat, displayed well in this production. She was very sincere and put a lot of work into her performance. Ji Seo-Yun, who played antagonist Amy, did an excellent job as well.

Story: How could a plot like that not capture your attention? The whole movie was a little bit suspenseful, though I wish there had been more suspense, and even a little bit romantic, which I found creative. It’s interesting to see romance worked into a murder mystery without everything being so over-exaggerated and bombing. It turned out pretty nice here and even brought on some parts that made me laugh. This story falls more into the mystery genre, so don’t go in thinking you’ll be scared. It’s not very scary at all, but there are a lot of plot twists so it keeps you on edge. And trust me, the ending when you find out who the killer is, will blow your mind. It blew mine.
Music: There’s hardly any music. For a movie like this I think that’s a good thing. It doesn’t distract you from whats going on. The times where you do hear ‘music’ is just background drums and such when time is pressed.
Cast/Acting: I wouldn’t say the acting is bad, because Kang So-ra and Yoo Seung Ho did a pretty good job, there’s just room for improvement. The parts where they really preformed their best were the romantic ones.

Story: If you’re a Super Junior fan you’re going to love this. The plot sounds funny and immediately drags you into watching the movie. I was a little disappointed. The characters were so exuberant I couldn’t help but dislike them. At times the acting felt forced or as if they weren’t trying. Not just the members of Super Junior, but minor characters too. A lot of the comedy seemed over exaggerated, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t laugh. Because I did, a lot. And I LIKED IT, a lot.
Music: A pretty good OST, I listen to it quite often.
Cast/Acting: As I said earlier it could have been better. That doesn’t mean the acting was bad, because it wasn’t. They were pretty comical.

Story: For me it was the title that pulled me in. I had no idea about the actors that were in it. Just the title sounds good, 71 student soldiers fighting in a battle that they thought might not happen. They had even been told that the chances of them fighting were slim, that all they needed to do was to hold out for a few days until reinforcement arrived. Instead of that happening, they engaged the North Korean forces on several occasions, all with devastating results.
I wish they had given us a little bit of background for some of the characters. The only flashbacks into the past is when the students are leaving and all the mothers are sending their children off. However, the fact that the director and producers were able to make me cry so hard and so much without any back story is amazing. They get you hooked on the characters by who they are and their relationships with each other. It is breathtaking the way they all stand together, fight with and side by side. There is so much growth in every single character that it breaks your heart when the real fighting begins.
The entire time I watched this my hands were covering my mouth and I was holding my breath. I forgot to breathe several times and became dizzy. It is that intense.
Music: Honestly, I didn’t pay much attention to the music. I was too busy crying and watching the action going on.
Cast/Acting: It’s no wonder that Choi Seung-hyun, T.O.P, won two awards for this movie. I haven’t seen acting this good since I watched 1 Litre of Tears. Their performances are so breathtaking and so heartfelt that it breaks your heart. Even the more minor characters. You can’t help but want to reach out and hold each and every one of them. Even the ones you hated at first.

i wasnt wrong.
after the first episode i thought that was drama for ten.
positives
-incredibly talented actors made this heartbreaking story look real and touching
- music was perfect. fitted in every moment
-like i mentioned , the story was interesting , tearjerking and well developed in first couple of episodes
-i actually dont like characters like hana but this time she made her way towards my heart with her kindness and innocence.
-the epic end
-i could relate to yoon suh's pain :\\\ his character was the best
- quotes
-with all that sadness there were funny and heart warming moments
negatives :
- lack of action...i mean, the whole "second boss" deal could've been handled way better . they made huge deal out of yoon suhs dark present and at the end it ended poorly
-i dont want to spoil anyone but .. one of the characters feeling towards yoon suh came out of nowhere . i can smell poor character development here
- i liked hana in first few episodes.. but then she did some very stupid things so...
- main girl was often pushed into doing some things
-at the end the plot y development got worse..if they made it more than 10 eps, i think it would've been better
in the end there were many flaws..
it wasnt outstanding like i hoped it to be from the first ep but it was very good
drama managed to hug my heart and fill my eyes with tears
it was a great story of star-crossed lovers.

Acting/Cast- As for the cast, I think that they were picked out very well. The actors played their characters to their full potential. Especially So Ji Sub who was the main character of this drama, you'll have to watch it to find out why :P It's my first time seeing him act and he has left quite a good impression on me. The actors who played in the police force were also amazing! Two characters that you will remember are the Mad Cow and Boiled Potato hehe And the bad guy, he was always a step ahead of the police force and this made the story really exciting. Gang Mi was the female detective who made a very impressive lead female. She wasn't one of those girls in those dramas who just sit there looking pretty- she went out there and did everything she had to do. There are many characters who will definitely be outstanding as you progress the drama series.
Music- Hmm.. the most memorable ones are the piano soundtrack and the phantom of the opera song. I think that they could've used more songs however the ones that they did use were used VERY effectively.
Re-watch Value- I wouldn't really re watch it as I already know what happens in the end. But there is a chance that I could because of how well this drama was put together.
I can't really say much about what I disliked particularly because there was nothing that disappointed me. There isn't much romance but I wasn't really expecting any from the start so I wasn't let down.
This review doesn't do much justice to the drama :P I suggest you go and watch it now! If you don't, you are going to be missing out, what to me is, the best mystery drama of 2012.

Anatomical humor aside though, this series does a great job of balancing fairly low-brow humor against thought-provoking mysteries. While in one moment you may find yourself genuinely pondering how this alleged psychic’s “trick” could have been accomplished, your train of thought might be suddenly broken upon glimpsing the inappropriately shaped bento box on the table. I actually enjoyed this dichotomy, because it helped to keep the series interesting, and from taking itself (and the characters) too seriously.
Dr. Ueda, who is a bit like a handsome mad scientist, is one of the oddest characters I’ve seen in a drama. He takes himself seriously, but then again he doesn’t at all. He has confidence, and yet, maybe not. It’s hard to pin point who he is as a person, because if nothing else, he is consistent in his inconsistencies. Is he a genius or is he an idiot? I’m genuinely not sure, but for me he’s just a lot of fun to watch!
Naoko is more the “straight woman” in the series. Naoko sees the big picture in the mysteries and is usually the one to solve the case. Even so, she can’t help but get wrapped up in the awkward hi-jinks that occur all around her. But she handles it with frankness and confidence and I adored that about her character.
Be warned though that this is not a particularly exciting series. Often, the mysteries unfold slowly (over the course of two episodes, sometimes) and there is a slice-of-life quality to this drama that deflects any air of fantasy or whimsy. But I actually like it this way!
Sometimes it’s good to watch a drama that is enjoyable, but not necessarily crack addicting to where it consumes your life. Trick is a pleasant refuge from the cracky, high-intensity dramas out there.

Its has great martial art fights but its not even too focused on that. The intelligence is found in the way the story is revealed to the audience. Such awesome directing! The synopsis tells you all you need to know to begin watching the movie but when I watched it, I had no clue what it was about aside from the fact that it was a martial arts movie featuring Donnie Yen. In the end, the only issue I found with this movie is that the 1st half of it is so awesome and engages the audience thoroughly in this roller-coaster ride (a 10/10), while the second half of it is a bit dull in comparison like the roller coaster slowed down a bit (a 7/10). All together it still remains and awesome movie which I rate 9/10. Highly recommended! XD

There is like 2 sides of the story, and you first see side A of the story where everything is all fairy tale like, and everything is all like a scene out of a fairytale picture book. All the scene was very romantic and it seems exactly like a picture out of those romantic couple pictures.
Then there is the other side of the story, which is side B in the later half on the story that tells the background of the story and the truth of the story and how all that fairy tale was all planned in the begining and it just breaks your heart. But this later part explain the whole story and you get sad becasue both sides of the story is really sad, and the more sad part is the ending becasue the girl is gone, and although everyone is sad but everyone lives change becasue of that, and they are all left with beaurtiful memories though it really is suuch a shame how they could not be togehter, and that he later realize that what he felt for her was not just a game but acutally real love
The music sung in the movie was all really great and it went well with the drama and the guy sang really good and all the time the guy sang for her it made me went crazy at how loveable and cute it was.
All the acting was really great and the acting felt really true, it was not like bad acting like you see in some dramas these days but it was geninue acting that touches your heart and can make you feel emotional over the drama
If you have a lot of time and looking for a great movie or a great chick film this is the movie for you because it is a beautiful love story that may have been a game in the begining but later turns into real love.

Despite the boring plot, that basically consists of Soyo saying the wrong things to the wrong people and trading her first kiss for Hiromi’s jacket, it was kind of pleasant. The village is small and time seems to pass by slowly. It gives you the sense that everything is peaceful and relaxing. It’s the kind of movie where it reteaches you the values of friendship and puppy love.
It doesn’t have a dynamic plot, which most people like. It is more scenic, quiet, and dealing with the small things that happen in a village where everyone has known each other since birth. It wasn’t that bad of a movie, just one where I had to force myself to finish it. And I only did so because of Masaki Okada.
Music: In addition to an almost non-existent plot, the music is pretty much the same: non-existent.
Cast/Acting: I mentioned earlier that parts of the movie were awkward. I don’t mean the director or the script. There was a scene where Soyo wanted to kiss Hiromi, but never having really kissed a boy before she’s bad and they bump teeth. Kaho and Masaki Okada were very good at acting as an awkward couple and being out of place. They are both amazing actors and had such great chemistry. He really seemed like a horny boy from Tokyo, being forced to live in the sticks. Well, he isn’t really ‘horny’ per say. He tries to kiss Soyo several times without her realizing it, or really wanting it (at the moment). She even catches him talking on the phone about their interactions to his friends in the city.
The extended cast was great too. The other school children all seemed very close and did a great job acting as friends too. You don’t really see much of the parents, expect for Soyo’s and Hiromi’s mother.

In terms of both romance and comedy, the film is surprisingly, though pleasingly low-key. Although the relationship between Hyun Jin and Su Min builds in predictable fashion and is hampered by its inevitability, it never feels forced, and Kim stops short of allowing unbelievable full love to blossom. As such, it is all the more convincing for it, thanks in part to charming performances from both Park Bo Young and Jin Goo, and the film is genuinely quite touching towards the end in a manner which makes the final twist far easier to swallow. Similarly, the film is amusing throughout, though in deadpan fashion, with little in the way of over the top slapstick or tiresome pratfalls. Kim derives most of the humour from the strange situations which the characters end up in, and as such ensures that the laughs never detract from the plot.
Visually the film is quite impressive, with Kim representing Su Min’s psychic powers through strange flickering images, blurring and shaky camera work, all of which is effective without being over the top. As might be expected from an editor turned director, he keeps the film tight and well paced, and clocking in at only an hour and twenty minutes it never outstays its welcome. He does employ a variety of different techniques and styles that help to keep the film interesting, though in controlled fashion and without ever lapsing into the kind of forced stylishness that so many first time directors are prone to. Also in the film’s favour is the fact that Kim shies away from too many mock cute touches, saving it all for one long, silent animated explanatory sequence near the end, which actually works very well.That journey, for the most part, relies largely on the chemistry between Jin Goo and Park Bo-yeong. It reminds me somewhat of ‘My Sassy Girl’, another tale of the reluctant guy being chased by a cute but mysterious girl. There, the chemistry is not only strong, but it is also one that broke new grounds. Since then, many others have tried to replicate that but here’s a film that gets close to replicating that. The complete opposite nature of the two helps, but I have to admit, it is Park Bo-yeong’s ability to look totally, utterly, butterly cute that influences this review. Jin Goo, on the other hand, doesn’t have a difficult time playing the straight guy here. He’s the one who’s reluctant to use his powers, even in dire and desperate situations. Witness the hilarious restaurant sequence, when Hyun-jin pushes Su-min to get them a free lunch. Asking random strangers as to whether they’ve done any rock-climbing also doesn’t rank very highly on the normal-o-meter. But it is the quirkiness that is charming in its own way.
As such, “ESP Couple” is short and sweet, and although it does end a little abruptly, is one of the few films of its type to leave the viewer wanting more. Sufficiently different to stand out from the crowd, it delivers charmingly entertaining viewing that successfully mixes a variety of genres to wacky, though surprisingly coherent effective. Having shown himself to be an eccentric talent, it will be interesting to see what director Kim Hyung Joo turns his hand to next, though it is certainly hoped that he will continue down such a creative and oddball road.

Story: So I have mixed feelings about it. The first 9 episodes were perfection in that I was eating up each episode because they were intense, funny, and unexpectedly addictive. I enjoyed watching the leads who were so different having to work together and solve the news cases. Then episode 10 happened and the writers changed the direction and added the ex boyfriend character into the mix. The show although well written (I never got bored), it became frustrating to watch, even making me have thoughts of dropping it(I wasn’t enjoying the drama anymore). I decided to stick it out because the leads had an amazing chemistry and I wanted to see them together again and by ep 19 I started to love this drama again. I really liked the ending cause it was fun and reminded me of the tone of the beginning episodes.
Acting/Cast: Like I said, I had never seen the main actors before so I didn’t expect much from them but from the first episode I felt their sizzling chemistry so I became interested in how they would be able to portray their characters. They did an awesome job of making me become attached to their characters and rooting for their relationship. The supporting cast did a good job with their characters but a lot of the characters were overacted/annoying.
Music: I liked the OST for this drama but not enough to give it a listen outside of watching.
Rewatch: Because I liked the characters in this, I would give it a second watch but not for a while cause it was frustrating to watch for almost half of the time.
Overall, the characters and the ending make My Queen a Taiwanese drama that is worth watching.

Story::
The whole relationship and story was complex. I loved it. Very well done. I'm probably going to come back to watch this again. Development was fantastic.
Acting/Characters::
Very well done. The characters were full of emotion, so it was probably difficult to do, but they did it, and they portrayed it really well.
Music::
Will stick with me for a loooongg time.
I'm not sure why this doesn't have higher ratings...its really good.

Story:::
The story line was okay, it was understandable, and probably is the first marriage-contract-dramas I've seen. It was funny at certain points. Followed the typical drama story evolution (if you watch a lot of dramas you know what I'm talking about). Truthfully, I expected much more conflict, but it was an easy-going no misconception drama.
Acting/Characters::
Acting was well done. Character were well portrayed. However, there was a sudden change in the main Chaebol character that bothered me a lot. People don't tend to change personalities on a whim, which is what happened here. They attempted to show that he developed into a easy-going fella but they didn't do it well enough. However, the main lead actress maintained her character very well and the character was developed well enough to let the viewer know what was going on. She was good :)
Music::
I like the OST. The songs matched the moods, unlike other dramas where they're playing happy music at the saddest situation smh...Anywho OST was good and music was well placed.
Rating:
8/10
