Yamashita Tomohisa takes on the role as 15 year old Nagashima Ken in the drama special Shounen wa tori ni natta about the boy who made miracles happen time and time again. I will be writing a spoilerless review.

Ken is a 15 year old boy who was born with a unusual heartdisease. Ever since the day he was born, There has always been a little hole in his heart. The doctors all claimed he wouldn't be able to live to become even 1 year old, Miracles occured and to the doctors big surprise Ken is now a fifteen year old boy. Planning and studying for what he would like to become in the future, the disease worsens as heartattacks begin happening regularly. Ken is growing, and his heart is unable to keep up with the growth at this rate. His old lifestyle is forced into a drastic change as Ken will have to start using means for living he never before thought that he would ever need. Ken keep on staying true to his own self throughout the sufferings and hardships he takes on. The Heartwarming story of a boy who despite of his handicaps always put other people before himself. Eternally fascinated by the legendary mountain hawk who he has only seen once before in his life, And deciding that he will live to see it again.

There wasn't much of an ost for this drama special. It honestly didn't even have a themesong which is rare for dramas. Most of the music in the drama was pianomusic or just emotional instrumentals adapted into fitting in with the story. The music isn't really anything to brag about, But what was there to be found really was good.

Shounen wa tori ni natta is a special that doesn't have to much popularity out there. It deserves more than it got. Watching the special it felt like Ken motivated you throughout the story instead of you just feeling bad for him. Its not just another tearjerker, The drama special will have you angered, laughing and crying along with the characters.

This movie is worth watching. It was good and enjoyable but soon you'll get bored of watching it.
The characters were good and funny. The plot was OK.
It's the kind of movie you'd watch if you had nothing to watch.
what is liked the least is the plot. It's an action movie so there supposed to be more action in it. But they were concentrating on the drama and the lives of the main characters.
The case in was easy to to solve so, most people wouldn't have that "what's gonna happen next?" moment or wonder "who did it?".
I don't strongly recommend watching it but it's worth watching.

Okay, this has to be by far the best K-Drama I have EVER seen. It was my second K-Drama, the first one i dropped after watching 30 seconds.

So, it's basically about this guy who is a top star and this girl who get's tricked and her house get's sold. The person who bought it just so happens to be that top star guy. To get back the house, she has to have a fake marriage with him. Over time, they end up having feelings for each other, but both are to stubborn to admit it. VERY CUTE and you'll wish it would never end!

I personally think the acting was stupendous, except for bra-girl (you'll see what i mean) she was a pain in the butt. but if you look past her, everything was amazing!!

The music has been sown onto my brain. Nuf' said.

Ummmm, i would definitely rewatch this. I could watch it a hundred times and still enjoy it!

But to explain just how good it was, I couldn't stop thinking about it for a whole month after finishing it, i stayed up till 4am until my dad threatened to chuck me out the window, I cried until i was dehydrated and had to keep pausing it so i could blow my nose and wash my face, i laughed like crazy for no reason when i remembered a funny part (often getting weird looks), and i felt an empty hole in myself after finishing it. I felt like a part of me was missing. (and i NEVER cried before while watching a movie)

I came to watch this series after re-watching Im Soo Hyang (dan saran) on strong heart. Geez, I don't even regret a single bit!

Don't be put off by the thought of watching 52 long episodes, because it is totally WORTH IT!
I rarely finish long series but this drama just kept me going on. I'm not a person who cry easily, but I cried at least 5 times for this drama! The entire drama is just heartwarming and cracking at times.
Everything is realistic, no weird plot at all.

Love the cast for this drama, it's perfect. Even though it is SungHoon's first drama, I must say his acting was a little (just a little!) awkward at times but he definitely improved as the drama goes on. I also love the sister of saran so much!

I'm not going to give spoilers here, so just watch it! It's a really amazing drama and you won't regret watching it.

p/s: the camera work kind of irks me in the beginning but the acting, plot, etc all drew my attention away from it as I watched on :)

I don't even know where to begin in praising this drama. It is simply spectacular from every angle, a must watch whether you're a fan of medical dramas or not. Each episode is unique in that a valuable message is conveyed and of course there is on going drama throughout. It is a heart warming, tear evoking, beautiful drama with a lovely mix of comedy too. It is mostly serious which is usually a given with medical dramas but it is far from boring and always leaves you appreciating all that you have in your own life and wanting to see more of it.

I would have given it a straight 10 in all categories but the instrumental music in season 2 did feel a tad too repetitive so I gave it a 9. Having said that, it was played effectively at the right times to enhance the emotional factor so for that I'd definitely give it a 10, not to mention the theme itself was poigantly beautiful and well composed for the drama.

All in all, a must watch for all drama lovers! ^^
It's definitely one of my faves now n_n.

Goodness. This movie. I was really bored because I had caught up with all my dramas. I wanted to watch something funny before bed, and am I glad I chose this!

The plot was funny and to-the-point. The antagonist, while ridiculous, was interesting to watch. Although it had it's bizarre, yet fantastic, scenes, Hong Mu Hyeok's dilemma of choosing a normal life over the life of a hero was developed pretty well. Song Hyeon Hwa was a little too intense for me, but I guess it takes a special kind of girl to date a heroic outlaw.

This movie had an amazing cast. It was fun watching Kim Su Ro; he never misses a chance to be as crazy as he can be. Song Dong Il is as awesome as ever. He usually tends to be typecast into these kinds of roles, but they really suit him, imo. He really is a under-appreciated actor. As for Lee Si Young, I didn't realize it til now, but I've seen all 3 of her movies. Personally, her movie characters have been a little too intense for my liking. But maybe that's more about the way the her character was written (bc I really liked the way she did Eun Jae in Wild Romance). Now, Kim Bum Soo--I may be a little biased--is there anything he was truly not awesome in? A question that has been weighing my mind since the start of this movie: This movie was released just a little over 2 years ago. Where did that spankin' body go?? (Yes,I looked/stared at that rock-climbing scene.Can you blame me?)

I usually listen really closely to the soundtrack of the film (soundeffects, background music, etc), but throughout the movie nothing seemed to pop out at me. The credit songs were catchy but that's all I can say about the topic.

If I ever have another down day and I'm looking for something light, I'd probably end up re-watching this movie. It was too cute! ^^

Overall, if you like over-the-top villains, almost-psycho-girlfriends, adorable family rapport, honest-to-goodness prosecutor, and adept-yet-trouble-hearted heroic thief, all the while immersed in a brew of ridiculousness and awesome action sequences...
then THIS IS THE MOVIE FOR YOU. :)

Despite its silly actions, "not-so-horror scenes" and childish problems, this drama has outstanding humor and exquisite point of view. Kyohei and Sunako are so much alike. Although Kyohei hated himself because girls fell in love with him for his looks only and Sunako hated herself because her first love told her she is ugly, both characters wanted people to look at their hearts. This silly drama has demonstrated a HUGE worldwide problem. Even though our wronged opinions are based on people’s appearances, we are striving to find someone to accept who we are and our true nature. The second point of view that this drama shed a light on is, if you want to be loved, try to become the person you love and try to love yourself. I don’t mean you become cocky by the way, but try to see that you are special or else why would you be born?. By the way, this drama isn’t ment to be serious as it is adapted from a manga, thus don’t expect the actors or even the problems to be serious

The great story of a poor girl falling in love with a rich spoiled guy…this series has failed to hold my intrest till ep 14…i mean the storyline started to be complicated, twisted and thrilling starting from ep 14…i can’t believe that it was actually filmed this way…there was no chemistry between the characters…their actions and emotions weren’t understood…the love triangle between Jun Pyo, Jan Di and Ji Hoo was silly…the main point of how was the love triangle could be so complicated and painful wasn’t demonstrated in a right way…the acting itself was off and wired…i mean they started to act really good at the end…this has really failed my expectations for Lee Min HO, Kim Hyun Joong and Kim Bum…these three actors have done much better than this…However, as i said before the story became thrilling at the very end…there were some really funny moments…the only characters who acted really good from the begining was Go Jun Pyo’s mum and Ga Eul (Jan Di’s best friend)....i have seen better series with the same main point…i recomend watching Secret Garden as it has shown the real complications and problems when a poor woman falls in love with a rich arogant guy….

Sprinkled with plenty of laughs, tears and little bit of magic, this drama, which can make you cry your eyes out and meanwhile laugh your head off, is one of the most unsurpassed Korean dramas ever and will really flabbergast you. You’ll be so hooked from the very start of the drama, you won’t be able to let go. The characters are all excellently played, the background music is hauntingly stunning and the storyline is absolutely smashing. To tell you the truth, there are no words enough in this world to describe this amazingly beautiful series. In the drama you’ll really experience the true problems, which are exceedingly complicated and realistic that you’ll forget the fairytale twist in it, when a poor girl falls in love with a rich arrogant man. The real beauty of the drama isn’t only in the story, but also in how it is told. The dialogue is so witty and the twists and turns of the story, which keep you puzzled till the very end, aren’t only enjoyable, but also keep you on the edge of your seat, leaning forward in anticipation. You shouldn’t miss watching this drama at all!!!!.

I had a difficult time trying to formulate exactly how I felt about this drama. I did enjoy watching it, it wasn't difficult because there were plenty of comedic moments dispersed throughout the drama that made it very lighthearted and fun to watch, however, it was just that. The drama was a fun watch but there wasn't very much substance to it. It followed the typical rom-com formula to a T. Aside from the family aspect, which isn't very prevalent in the dramas I've seen, this drama was pretty typical, with the back and forth between the leads, some family secret and the turmoils of love.
As far as acting goes, it was, like the story, okay, not spectacular but not terrible either. The main leads were alright, they did have some chemistry but it wasn't explosive or exciting. At times they acted a bit more dramatic than I felt the scene called for, but it wasn't unbearable.
As for the rewatch value, I don't tend to rewatch dramas, hence the one.

This drama wasn't particularly spectacular, but it fulfilled its purpose with lighthearted entertainment, plenty of comedy and a cute story that was quite enjoyable.
