However, if you are NOT a fan, that's a horse of a different color. I guess you could enjoy it for the humor, but keep an open mind. This is a movie about a mystery man flinging poop at high school students. So you can't really go into this movie hoping for a lot of depth and meaning. If anything, there might be a slight hint of meaning about the Korean education system.. but not really. Or at least I don't think they tried to do that, but if someone REALLY wants something more to the movie then good-looking boys and poop... then sure why not.
I really liked this movie and even showed it to some friends, but again we are Super Junior fans. So that's a big reason as to why we enjoyed it so much.

The story line was very touching and cute. For me it was a very good drama minus the ending. The ending made me very confused and angry. I personally felt that the ending didn't back up the purpose of the main actress' intentions/actions at all. I wish it didn't end up like that...
The OST was good, however nothing really stood out to me that. But it definitely brought out the drama more.
My suggestion is : DO WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!!
You can get a lot from it, it's definitely wroth watching. However just know that the last 5 mins or so just sucksss. And as long as your prepared for that, I think you'll be fine. If your big on ending, you probably should just skip the last episode... lol well anyways the rest of the drama is really good. Don't let the last 5 mins of the drama tell you otherwise.

While Chunhyang glorifies (for lack of better word) the female lead (her virtue, and you get an insight into cultural traditions and beautiful poetry), it is the lead male who is the hero in this story, and the full depth of that does not become evident until the very end.
The movie is easy to watch, LOVED the humor and liberal (western-like) scenes, but underneath is a superb moral story, and a worthy hero. While the female lead is not as 'pure' in this story (as in Chunhyang), she is more real, more realistic, and though flawed, still worth the love and admiration she receives (maybe even more so).
I thought Ryu Seung Beom's role was 'ehh...' until the turning point in the story - when his character still manages to surprise you; the waterfall scene replays in my mind from time to time and I'm still (2 weeks later) trying to figure him completely out.
The ending, to me, amazing (maybe because I didn't see it coming). Not because of what happens (ok, interesting, but not amazing), but how the main character explains himself and his true motivations. The light-hearted story becomes a tale of true character and wisdom. That was my personal experience, and I hope others experience it as well as it truly was a beautiful and touching story that I will certainly want to re-watch from time to time.

this is probably the most boring drama i have ever seen !
50% of it was elders talking about insignificant things and i deeply regret bearing through it because i thought they might say something important but they never did
40% of it was more insignificant draggy scenes
10% of it was the rare actually funny scenes that i enjoyed
the story was fine but i think they could have done it in 16 episodes instead of dragging it to 24 episodes
the music didnt really catch my attention except for maybe one song which they put in a few scenes
the acting was good but SO many annoying characters
and i defintely wont rewatch it
so if you're really desperate for a drama to kill some time i guess u can watch this
but if you only watch REAL drama this is absolutely NOT the drama for you

So,overall,the only thing I liked about this drama was Hoon's acting. I'm not a fan of U-Kiss,so apparently I'm not biased,as most people that review this.
Dongho's acting,was as good as a diving board's. During this drama,to me,he was like the Korean Kristen Steward.
The story could've been good,but it was incomplete almost everywhere.I cannot even call it a story to be honest.
I'm sorry, but this drama was so boring to me that I was barely able to watch it all.I finished it because I was expecting a nice ending.Well,I was wrong.
I won't even start on Dongho's martial arts skills. Just no.
Whoever read this review,thank you. My suggestion to people is that if they are fans of the said k-pop stars in the drama,it will probably be interesting to them. And if you are people who want to watch a quality drama,this is not your pick really.
Thanks all.

It took me some time to get through the very first episodes but when they were finished I sat glued to my computer.
City Hunter is a bit different from the other dramas I watch. Mostly lovey-dovey romantic comedies are dominant in my heart but I'm glad I got, finally, made myself watch this one. It has everything; action, love, friendship, relations overall and a freaking amazing plot that is very complicated but still easily understood for someone who isn't that familiar with Korean politics and other relevant areas.
Number one in this drama was, of course, the beloved Lee Min Ho, and yes, his character was awesome in every thinkable way! Handsome, kind, heroic and fights like a king! Yet, he is not the only one to impress. Park Min Young made a great job with her character Kim Na Na, and Go Ha Ra surprised me in the part as the spoiled President's daughter. Lee Joon Hyuk is now another actor that I will stalk to death. I also finally admitted that old people can act!
There is especially one of the instrumental pieces that I seriously love! It's dramatic and has a lot of emotions in it. It is the City Hunter drama translated into music. SHINee's Kim Jonghyun's ballad (So Goodbye) totally set the mood in the sad scenes, and yes, I love that guy...
There are quite a lot of episodes (20) á 60 minutes. There are MANY cliff hangers and sometimes the tension is just killing you, so I would be careful to watch this too often since it probably isn't good for your heart... But I will rewatch this drama, no doubt!
Except for the first one or two episodes that are made to introduce the watchers there is one tiny little thing that disappointed me, and that would be the ENDING. There were tons of drama and guns were fired etc. really cool and brilliant, but the very ending of the ending was a superduperteenytiny bit... dissatisfying. You have been WARNED !!!
But the drama is still worth watching! :D

Sure, there were a lot of loose ends, and parts of the plot where one would say, "how convenient". But, although it takes itself seriously at the beginning, the show's mood lightens up as our main character is changed through the miracle of motherhood.
The acting...well, this is a cast full of superb actors and they do their best in every scene, but I think that the comedic intention of the writers and/or directors could have driven them to some overacting at points. I don't really care though, because they did a great job at it as well.
I would definitely watch this show again. With every episode I would just sit back, enjoy and laugh to my heart's content. So, if you are looking for a lighter note on your drama watch and want to just have a fun time free of tears, yet full of random unfathomable occurrences, then you will enjoy this show.

And in the first few episodes I was pretty confused as to what I thought about this show, but when it got further in I actually started to find the humor to be funny at times. Not the over the top way that Saburo transforms into his powerful form nor the ongoing joke with the naked girls but rather the way the characters treated each other and just didn't listen to what Saburo tried to tell them, stuff like that.
I was pleasently surprised, but it was far from a masterpiece.
The cast was pretty funny, especially Kurashina Kana as the sweet innocent girl that sometimes just freaked out.
Hashimoto Jun and the relatively unknown actor Itakura Toshiyuki as Saburo's sidekicks are also very funny to watch once you warm up to them abit.
The music is decent, nothing groundbreaking.
All in all, this was a solid comedy show that had some funny moments and some moments that fell flat. It won't win awards for being great, but I enjoyed it for what it was most of the time. That is why I give it a 7.

The premise is the same, but there are quite a few changes, mainly different characters. They made Arata plenty likable (opposed to spineless Yukki) and didn't repeat the flaws from the Anime.
So the first few episodes were enjoyable and interesting (though slightly repetitive).
Then they strayed so much from the original plot that I started to get confused. It took me some time to accept the huge differences. The last few episodes have nothing to do with the premise anymore, except that it's the same characters.
Nevertheless, they made the "new story" work and if you forget about the original solution, this version also makes sense. It's just that I like the original version better (Like usually, haha).
I think I would rate this 7 even if I hadn't seen the Anime. Even though there are minor plot holes the story is fine, but it didn't quite pull me in. Sometimes it's really predictable, other times I couldn't predict it at all.
The acting is sufficient, but not really that good. Plus, the love story is... it's not that it's unbelievable, but it lacks substance.
All in all it was a decent, short watch.
If you are a fan of the Anime and not so much fond of huge alterations, you should not watch this.
On the other hand, if you watched the Anime and think this will be boring, because you know the ending: be assured it's not like that.
If you don't know the Anime/Manga and are looking for some Psychological Mystery, you might as well give this a try.

Although, the seasons share many similarities, the writers didn't fail to give fans a fresh batch of interesting characters. If you're someone like me, the sitcom won't have you splitting your sides with laughter. This is only rare. The show does make you chuckle and keep you entertained. Like I said in my review for Unstoppable High Kick, the show is really fun to watch.
The characters come off as "crazy" and do things we would never do in our normal lives. Although, I find the first season funnier and crazier by far, though this season was also good.
The cast were really great. Once again, they toss in some eye candy and Kim Bum (cameo). I was especially impressed with Hwang Jung Eum's acting. Thanks to this sitcom she gained one more fan. Her acting was powerful.
To conclude, this isn't the heavy, make-you-stay-up-all-night-cause-you're-dieing-to-see-what-will-happen-next kind of drama. It's quite entertaining. It was supposedly light and funny until the last episode. I'm sure all the other reviews have said it, but the ending was disappointing for those who followed this sitcom through all 126 episodes. Either way, it's a good drama. But none can surpass the first season!

but I didn't really expect that much to begin with,
and I'm glad I wasn't influenced by the reviews (because I am sort of easily influenced) and watched it without prejudice ^^
The story was Great , I loved the Cast and they suit their roles well, I thought the music wasn't that bad and I might just watch it again (it's a feeling I don't have with a lot of dramas) ,
It's just a little disappointing that the ending was a bit... well, not so great
I thought it was really funny at times, and It made me go *awww* a lot, the brother was really funny as well, how he kept on going after Ma Ri , and I thought Ma Ri's character was great as well ^^
+ The leads, they did a good job, they suited their roles, and did the best they could to act them out well ^^ It was great seeing Gong Yoo act as a teen ^^
All in all
eventually, she fell for the guy I was rooting for, and if they'd done the ending a bit better,
I'm pretty sure I would have given it a 10.
