So, another one of AKB48s dramas. About a teacher dying of cancer while his students start realizing he always cared about them through letters he gave to each of them.

It's split up in 17 short episodes following different girls in the class with an hour conclusive episode.

So, should you watch this drama?

For me the first few episodes I found the characters to be pretty unlikeable but getting further in I uderstood that it was the whole point. They grow more and more with each episode.

I guess this is an AKB drama for AKB fans, and it works best if you know these girls beforehand. I think though that you can come into this without knowing anything about them beforehand and still enjoy yourself.

I would recommend it for a decent school drama with a sad and inspirationl touch. It's powered up by having pre-knowledge of AKB, but can still be enjoyed.

Who knew that a small incident would lead these two lovable characters into a journey which changes both their lives for the better.

Story:
I L.O.V.E.D the girl. She's so tough, I mean the way she acts. Though there's a deep sadness within her, she tries to hide it with a cheery smile that does not fool our dear Gyeon Woo. It's also different from what I ever watched and I enjoyed it a lot! Seriously I never laughed so hard. There were particular scenes that cracked me up, there's this one where honestly I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard.

Acting:
*Nods head and smile* It is flawless. It's like Cha Tae Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun were made to play the lead roles in this movie. I loved Gyeon Woo's mother, always hitting him. In saying that all the girls in his life are always hitting him, poor thing. Jun Ji Hyun plays 'The Sassy Girl' (I just realised that he never referenced her name O.O). She played the abusive, easily drunk, tough, cute, delicate, gorgeous girl. I need to watch more movies with her in it.

Music:
Is it just me or Director Yann Samuell really really loves Canon D Majoy by Pachelbel. I watched his other movie called 'Classic' and the same instrumental piece was played throughout the movie. I'm not complaining, it's more like an observation.

Rewatch:
I sure as hell would rewatch this. It's soo funny,

Overall:
I LOVED IT. I know why people keep telling me to watch the movie. Everything made sense at the end and this movie really made me believe in DESTINY ~

The story:
It was cliche that's for sure. But I'm one of those people who don't mind the cliche (as long as its not TOO predictable). The storyline was confusing for some parts and whoever did the editing for me did a good job. I could tell that they were going back and forth from the past to the present.

The acting:
Every character did a fairly decent job of acting, well maybe not Jo In Sung. The guy is just a brick wall. I mean seriously buddy you need MORE EMOTION, MORE FEEL but he is kind of pleasing towards the eye, so I guess it kind of ok? XD
For me, Son Ye Jin stole the limelight. She bloody well deserves a 10/10 for her acting. Ye Jin ssi had to act as two characters, Joo Hee and Ji Hae and she did a FANTASTIC job of it. When she cried her heart out, I cried along with her. TT____TT

The Music:
As soon as I heard, Canon D Major by Pachelbel. I knew that I wouldn't be hating on the music used through the movie. I mean who the hell on this earth doesn't love that instrumental masterpiece.

Rewatch Value:
It's not a movie that I would watch again in the near future but I may.

Overall:
It is not the best movie I ever seen but it was worth my time watching.

I do not usually watch dramas with more than 30 episodes but when I saw Smile, You I got curious and I just clicked on the 1st episode for a try until it moved to 2, 3, 4 and I didn’t even notice I was nearly done watching it..i was totally captured with its hilariousness. It really filled my 5 days with so much fun and excitement.


Superb!!! The story revolves around the 2 families which under unfortunate circumstances had to try to get along with each other. Through fights and more fights they were eventually drawn closer as one real big happy family. Each family member has his/her own story to tell and you will love everyone of them. Romantic relations were comically and beautifully grown amidst the chaos in the family. The chemistry between the main couple was awesome, it felt real and not just acting. All the characters were so funny that you will burst into laughter every second of the episodes. But its not just about being funny it also has a huge amount of crying moments, laughing and crying with only minutes of interval. I even found myself laughing and crying at the same time, it was like a roller coaster ride watching this drama.
Overall I give this a rate of 10 :)

This is my favorite drama so far..
Don’t hesitate, WATCH IT! You wont have any regrets..

Some people have said Rich Man, Poor Woman looks like a kdrama, and maybe it’s half true, but Oguri Shun portrays Hyuga Toru like a boss. Ishihara Satomi is just too pretty and adorable. You can’t possibly not to love it if you have a thing for romantic dramas, despite all the eventual korean-ness.

At the beginning of the ep I was afraid this was gonna be a Protect the Boss-wannabe drama. You know, the fussy, rich and somewhat rude boss on one hand and the poor, hard-working and vexed employee on the other.

Hyuga Toru also has an inability, the prosopagnosia (He has problems remembering faces), which draws his character closer to Cha Ji Heon in Protect the Boss, even if the latter has agoraphobia. Or fear of speaking in front of crowds, can’t remember well now. But still.

It seems to me that more and more characters, if they’re meant to be the cocky main lead, they have to have some clinical problems. I mean, LOL.

Take also Hwang Tae Kyung in You’re Beautiful: he suffers from the fear to be infected or get dirty by other people, several allergies, night blindness, problems of social relationship since he avoids physical contact and has problems dealing with feelings. Oh, and he’s obsessed with order and perfection

So.

I’d say Hyuga Toru is not the worst complexed guy in dramas :D

The only thing that disappointed me is that they keep making ARATA look like an ojisan. It really gets on my nerves, because I’ve known him with Snakes & Earrings and he was so charming back then. I liked him in Blue Automobile, too. But in Hanamizuki and Mitsu no Aji they glued to him that ojisan-feeling, as if he weren’t young and able to be cool anymore.

The story is what caught my interest, since it's truly unique, but the way it unfolded left me a bit disappointed. Such a scenario had a great potential but it left some parts unexplored. They could have expanded on many scenes and cut short some others. I found it boring at times. But it had its bits of comedy too. Far less than I expected though. Overall however, the best word to describe this movie is 'weird'. It indeed has a big dose of weirdness in it. It's based on a rather tragic plot, so naturally it will have weirdness and depressive, meaningful moments, especially if you can relate to the characters' feelings.
The ending was fine to me. It fit with the movie's style perfectly.

I recommend this to anyone who wants to see something different. But expect something VERY different from most Asian movies.

Watched you're beautiful way before Ikemen Desu Ne was even talked about so I gave this a chance, i usually love Japanese dramas more than Korean ones especially if they have the same story, and even though i saw YB first i loved this version a lot more. partly because it was only 11 episode and got right to the point but not in a way that was too fast. (I get tired of Korean dramas easily for dragging on.)

I preferred this Ren & Mio a lot more. the actors chemistry was good and they acted well together. I actually liked them a lot more than the Korean actors.

The music was the same as the Korean version, just in japanese & there was an added song which is probably the best song from both versions.

All in All, it's a good drama. i rewatch it again all the time (:

Although I gave this a 9 overall, i feel it really deserves a 10 in my books. Wow okay, where so I even start? This drama has everything, from handsome rich billionaires, to (apparent) ugly poor girls and all the love-triangles and crazy ex girlfriends in between. It is definitely the stereotypical Asian drama but if you aren't sick of that sort of thing yet, then this is the drama for you! If you are, then what are you still doing watching Asian dramas? ;)
The acting was amazing! Especially on Ming Dao's part. He played both Junhao and Da ou so completely well that it actually made you believe they could be different people. The female lead... made me want to throw my laptop out the window and never turn on this drama again. HOWEVER, when i did warm up to her after a few episodes she became one of my favorite characters and most of the reason i continued to watch.
The music was not the best but it fit the mood. I think they had like two tracks, one sad and one happy where they would play each episode at their respected parts. I found this amusing more then anything else. reminded me of bof and 'almost paradise'.. XD
Despite there being 30 episodes to this drama, I enjoyed every single one of them. At episode 15, i remember thinking what could they possibly add to this story to fill 15 more episodes? But they somehow magically did! watching the last few episodes I felt so sad knowing it was ending and wishes there could be 15 more.
I would definitely watch this drama again. I'm not the hugest fan of Taiwanese dramas either because I don't know the language as well as Korean and Japanese but this one surprised me :) I would definitely recommend it ^^

YEEEEEEY! Just finished watching it! * actually no, I am sad :( * This is now a very special drama for me because everything goes amazingly well together: the music, the story, the cast. The music is smooth and it is easy to sing along. The story is very interesting and it keeps twisting and twisting playing tricks on you continuously, however this is what keeps you hooked to the drama until the end. The main couple has an incredible chemistry that I have seen in very few dramas. You have the beautiful and adorable Shin Min Ah, the extremely cute and talented Lee Seung Ki (amazing actor!) + another character that stole my heart from the first moment, totally hot! (I'll let you guess who that person is).

I hesitated for one year whether I should watch this drama or not because I heard it is sad, however now that I've watched it I have to say it was very amusing and entertaining. It got a bit sad towards the end, however Lee Seung Ki's acting totally blew me away! He is one hell of an actor because he plays his role with a lot of passion and Shin Min Ah is sooo cute that I found myself repeating her lines like a lunatic while walking on the street hahaha.

This drama is a MUST watch because it is different from other dramas even though it has some bits that can be seen in every korean drama nowadays. You have to watch it!

P.s. Just a piece of advice: you will become hungry during the drama especially if you like meat because they always eat -.- so grab something to chew on while watching it.
Enjoy! :)

I have been planning to watch this drama for a long time and at last, I already did and finished it too. It never disappointed me one bit at all. The story is a "Robinhood" type of story with a different reason and different twist. It's very funny and I felt the thrill of every stealing plot the story had. It made me cry too for I felt the hardships and heartaches of every character. This is how effective the acting of every casts. I did really imagine being in their shoes so to speak.

About the music backgrounds, it heightened the scenes and the acting as well but I haven't had any particular song that I sticks to my mind.

I definitely would watch this again in the future because of its compelling story and great actors. Overall, I recommend that you see this drama. You'll love the different historical point of view it showed and especially the main lead actor which never fails to amaze me throughout the story.
