To be truthful I don't really like serious movies. But even though this movie was serious, it was very moving also. The story plot really breaks your heart and feel for the main character. The movie is violent and is graphic in some parts. The movie overall is not for children! So if your looking for a good family movie, this may not be it.
This movie remind me a lot of Taken (staring Liam Neeson) but I will say this movie is much better! Though the plots maybe similar, Man From Nowhere is much more intense and filmed a lot better.
I do recommend this movie to all action lovers! Also if your a big fan of suspense or Won Bin, then this movie is also right for you. This has to be one of Won Bin's best!
This is not a scary movie! I didn't want to watch it at first thinking it was going to be scary, but it's not. It's a lot of fun, but the fun where you really want to keep watching! I will say, I cried at the end.
This is a must watch to all Won Bin action lovers :)

At first I thought the story was a little odd, but as I watched the movie, the story was actually really sweet. I love the two main characters and their beginning relationship, and the development they have together. It's not a very serious movie, but was very sweet.
My only complaint would be the ending, but I feel it was made up during the credits where they show the after situation. So if you do watch this movie, promise you will watch the credits.
I recommend watching this movie if your in the mood for a fun romantic comedy. Also, if your a Jang Geun Seok fan, I think you'll like this movie too ;)

This movie however is not a serious movie, if anything, it's just a cute and silly love story. Some people would maybe find it too silly at times, but I like that. The movie I have to say was predictable, but at the same time, still kept my attention with all the jokes and turning which would be a very serious situations fun and cute to watch. The characters were all lovable and the story was super sweet.
I recommend watching this movie when you have nothing to do or in a mood for a good romantic comedy. I watch this movie all the time when I have a couple of hours to spare. Don't watch it, however, if you want a serious, intense love story, that will get you crying and feeling that pain for love. It's not that kind of movie!
So far, all the friends I showed this movie too also really liked it. And of course I never mind re watching it with them.
Enjoy :D

I'm not really into jdrama but this got me really interested. from episode 1-10 non-stop because i find it really intriguing. First the way of life of the main male role who's playact not showing his true self. Second is about the phrase "that i will never forget you". he always narrate that. Then there she goes the female lead role who act's kinda weird at first that makes me think that she's not really existing that she is just his imagination.
I love it story cause it is just like a smooth sail. It has all the sense that maybe one of us will encounter. I just think that it is realistic in the sense that it can really happen in real life.
And lastly it has something to learn for. about love, family, affairs, sex, and even how would you eat your strawberry short cake?., Are you gonna eat the strawberry on top first or will it be the last to eat.
Hope you all find it interesting too and watch it. :) jae ne!,.
P.S I'm kinda annoyed of the theme song (S.O.S) there.. ahehe. so i skip to that.

This drama had everything: A good dark revenge plot, great and super hot actors, pretty good soundtrack, the kind of suspense that keeps you awake at 3AM screaming “OH MY GOD SHE/HE DIDN’T ? =O” … Well everything to be a really REALLY good drama . Until the two last episodes…
I read that the production had to cut off the drama to 17 episodes because of the main’s actor, Kim Nam Gil’s army enlistment. That can be a good explanation for the ridiculous ending. But my heart refuse to accept any excuses.
Many mysteries are still unsolved, some revelations were ridiculous and the end… OH MY GOD THE END. I’m starting to think that Koreans don’t know how to end their TV Shows. I’ve been loving this drama for 15 episodes… The two last should have been existed. NEVER . EVER .

Even the talents of the actors couldn’t save the show from boringness. The change of the writers around the 11th episode helped the plot a little but it was too little too late. The show was doomed. There was a lot of cute moments but that’s not what make a good drama.
I don’t know how to feel about Mae Ri character. She’s cute like a button, but not really reactive. I don’t know about her dress code either. It’s more looks like a hall stand. It’s like stylists kept putting clothes on her in order to look bohemian. FAIL .
Also the feminist inside me was screaming of anger the entire time. Two man fighting for a female without asking her opinion about anything is a bit too much for me. Plus a father selling his only daughter to a rich family in exchange of money… Isn’t it illegal ? I know it’s just a drama but I can’t help to be a bit confused about the all situation.
The good point about that drama is Waffle Porn (nickname I gave to Kim Jae Wook), I was able to see him growing up as an actor. Ok, the two dramas he starred was huge disappointment for me (Bad Guy and this one) but he’s getting better and better.
My heart aches when I think about how good this drama could have been. sigh .

In other words, this drama is not bad but not good. I suggest you to watch it if you have a lot of free time but I wouldn't if you're trying to find a very attracting drama.

Story- I was wondering how a romantic comedy could be labeled psychological but the writers really do try to mess with your mind. There were many times where I was like wait how did that happen or questioned certain characters true motives. As for the loveliness, I thought they did a terrific job with the pairings. The only problem I had with the story is there were certain characters arcs that I found boring like the married lady, Mei, and Yukichi. I didn’t really care about them and wanted to fast forward their scenes. I liked the end and how everyone found what he or she needed at that moment.
Acting/Cast/Characters- The acting was fine by the main cast and the casting fit perfectly. However, I was more invested in the core 4 characters with the the addition of Kairi winning me over by the end (her silent character was annoying in the beginning with all her darkness). I really liked how at first they were strangers even though they lived in the same apartment complex for a while but during the Love Shuffle period they had become like a little family depending on each other. I wanted to be a part of their group!
Music- While it seemed to fit I just didn’t like it. Sometimes the music became distracting also.
Rewatch- I’d like to rewatch this someday in the near future because I loved the 4 main character's relationship.
Overall Love Shuffle is one of the more interesting Jdramas I’ve found. While not the most exciting, sometimes you need a realistic drama to keep you grounded.

The drama starts light and really wacky during the first half of the drama. During those episodes, the two protagonists clashes so much they get into multiple trouble with each other. There were so many misunderstanding that it was hard not to laugh with the absurdity of it all and because of those misconceptions, the two protagonists end up getting married. This was not because of love but it’s due to an incident which could ruin both of their family’s reputation. As they both struggle to live harmoniously with each other amid the forced marriage, both eventually realize that they liked each other but was denying it too much. That’s it for the first half, for latter half of the show, it goes much more mature since the main characters grow up as adults with remnants of conflicts which set them apart for some time.
With this story line, it was fun and entertaining. Gave me little room to be bored since the drama would serve the right amount of serious moments then revert to it's old theme. In additional, the actor's are really cute! Given that their age are a bit mature to be seen as high school students, still, the way they acted was really fun to watch.

Summer scent is the third installment of Endless Love Series, right next to Winter Sonata. As to why the director chose Song Seung-hun to act as the main lead again since he already acted in Autum Tale (first installment of Endless Love Series), I have no idea but the series was lighter than the preceding installments. Watching the drama was a bit refreshing due to the fact of a new setting, much lighter mood on the actors and an easier plot line.
Main man has a dead girl friend, dead girl friend’s heart was donated to the main woman in which the main man eventually falls for. It’s kind of a far fetched conflict, but whatever suits your taste. We all know that an internal organ has nothing to do with falling in love. If I donate my liver to someone, would my man fall for that someone just because that person had my liver? What if I donated my kidneys, lungs, heart and cornea… would my man fall in love to multiple people because they have a piece of me just because I’m dead and they are living? That’s just plain weird.
Setting my cynical comments aside, I still liked the drama. After bashing it, then I recommend??? WHY???
My reasons are very much quite simple:
Song Seung-heon is hot.
Son Ye-jin’s beauty and acting would take you in.
The story itself (never mind the main conflict) hooks you up with so many thoughts about real life that all you can do about it is relate and continue on watching, regardless if you’ve missed your bed time or not.

Although the story is a total wreck with all the drama cliché, Kim Rae Won and Jung Ryu Won gave justice for the whole show. It even garnered 17% viewership which isn’t that bad in Korea if you ask a couple of netizens.
The story is about a movie maker (Choi Seung-Hee) who caused the death of his girlfriend. After the incident, he has the trauma of driving the car and finding love again. (I know… I know… I told you the cliché!) Then one day during a movie project he meets Kim Bok-Shil, the exact replica of his dead girl friend’s face. So in denial, he started to follow her around and discovered that she’s a complete different person. The girl was a country bumpkin, the opposite of his refined dead girlfriend. As he gets closer to her, they eventually fall in love… but there is a catch: is he in love with her face or with her as a person? (Told you, the cliché on same faces.)
After this, there were a couple more twists which led me to tear my hair out in frustration, but I bore it down because for the love of Rae Won and Ryu Won. Aren’t they just perfect for each other? Their names are even a match made in heaven! (Wishful thinking.) Aside from the main casts, there’s the perk of the comedy within the drama which made it more bearable to watch.

Jang Geum is not an ordinary drama because it was actually based in real life. In history, she is known to be a palace cook turned into royal physician but of course, like all history books made drama, producers has their ways in tweaking with the story line so a lot may have been changed. Setting that thought aside, I have enjoyed all 60 episodes of Jang Geum because in every episode, there are always different conflicts. In which will be solved on the next episode or the next. It keeps me on my toes and I just couldn’t help but get addicted to it. I like the thought that Jang Geum had great mentors so she could become the person whom the king trusted her to be. Then she also had different support systems: mainly King Jungjong, Capt. Min Jung Ho (the love interest), Yeon Saeng (her best friend), Lady Han Baek Young (her mentor) having this people around her she was able to survive the harsh world within the palace. Set things straight and become the Dae (meaning great) Jang Geum that she is known up to this date.
Oh and yeah, not to forget the romantic moments between Jang Geum and Jung Ho. Watching them in all those lovey-dovey moments was worth every tears I’ve shed for this drama.

Save the last dance is melodramatic so don’t expect yourself to smile all throughout the episodes because, I’m warning you in advance, you won’t. There would be action scenes in which I have noticed in most Korean melodrama series, they never cease to insert any fist-fighting-kick-ass-moves to make a statement that this is where all troubles began. Then after all these, the romantic moments come in along with conflicts.
The story revolves around two different people who have an entirely different family background: Kang Hyun Woo get’s the dose of amnesia, while Ji Eun Soo helps him recover his memories. In that period of time, romance blossoms and when things were going smoothly for both of them something tragic happens in Eun Soo’s end. Then the plotline gets pretty much out of this world after that.
I like how the story ran not letting you know what would happen next. The twist and turns at the ending and the portrayal of the characters were a bit refreshing after watching too much rom-com with predictable sub-plots. It’s quite amusing to see them running around, chasing something which may or may not be there because in truth, they’re just confusing themselves for the things they’ve done to each other.
Another highlight of this drama is the sound track. If it’s possible to be in love just because of a song… then I was probably already in love when I was watching this drama. The main theme song had a very nice composition and the lyrics (yes it was translated to English as well, that’s how good the song is) was simply love.
What made me recommend this drama are the story line and its romantic moments. That hooked me into the drama big time, then throw in the OST, ah… just perfect.

Yoon Hye Chan is a 29 year old woman who wants to divorce her husband, due to an accident she lost all her memories and reverted to her old self as an 18 year old. This is where all hell was let loose and where her husband’s real trouble began. Kang Sang-Young is an actor who’s trying to mend his relationship with his wife Hye Chan but was unable to when she was in her 29 year old self. Now that his wife had amnesia, he had to go all through those silly high school details so their love with each other would be rekindled… but wait! There’s more! He has to toughen himself up because his competitor this time is a young lad who is 18 years old and very much willing to help out the 29 year old Hye Chan in her 18 year old mind.
What I liked about this drama was the humor, the silliness the characters had to go through and the flashbacks. I loved the flashbacks because that’s where the main details are. It shows what happened in the past that depicts what exactly was happening in the present and as to why it was taking place. Another bonus to the flashbacks is the young actors who were portraying Hye Chan and Sang Young 18 year old self, both were really cute and an eye candy to watch.
Music wise, there nothing note worthy about it, basically it's just there to give emphasis on what's happening but other than that it just zips right through your brain. Though all in all this is still a drama I would definitely recommend.

Just because of the time travelling theme, I thought it would be cool since I watched "The Rooftop Prince". I wan't expecting anything from it but I end up liking it greatly.
2) Storyline/Plot:
It's different from The rooftop prince so don't you dare to compare them. You would only make it hard to watch if you do so.
Positive points :
*The story was light yet entertaining.
*I just loved how they combined the Joesen era with nowadays: one snap from here and the other from there , that was brilliant!
*The events were interesting and most of all unpredictable. I have to give script writers credit for many "What was that?" moments because those twists were the drama's core.
*Basically the drama contains romance, happy moments, sadness and even action and let's forget the historical side.
*The drama was full of great emotions that can touch you deeply: the romantic side was simply perfect, this is what I call "A romantic drama".
*The story's development was great since it gets better and better after each episode.
Negative points:
*Now that I think about it, I have no complains but the reason I haven't gave the storyline a higher score is some unnecessary events but that doesn't affect the general story's aspect.
Story: 9/10
3) Acting/Cast:
*Ji Hyun Woo : I've seen him in a film before but here he was completely different; he may sound stiff sometimes but heis role was well portrayed: he was cool whether in the past or in the present.
*Yoo In Na : Like everyone, I only saw her in "Secret Garden". I never had great hopes for her in this drama but Wohoo, she was shmazing here! She was extremely good and her acting was great. Moreover, her crying scenes were one of the best crying scenes that I've ever seen. If I was a teary person I would definitely cry when she did because she delivered great feelings.
*The chemistry was simply amazing that's why this drama gains the most romantic drama of the year.
*Other wast were cool and the general acting was satisfying.
Cast: 8.5/10
Acting: 9.5/10
4) The ending:
I don't know why there are a respectable amounts of complains about the ending o_O, it's true that it was a "fan-service" yet it wasn't that bad to hate the whole drama because of it.
The ending was cool, the type of ending that would make you satisfied, they could've took it to another level but it would be ruined that way.
The ending: 8.5/10
5) My impression (How did it affect me):
*I really liked it: Light and cool drama.
*The lead actors made this drama fun to watch.
*It didn't take a long time to complete it, simply because it was exempted from blank and boring moments.
*This is one the most romantic dramas that I've seen so far. I liked the drama but I wasn't obsessed over it.
My impression: 8/10
6) Overall:
*If you like steamy romantic stories then you would like this.
*If you're into the time travelling theme then this is for you.
*If you're looking for a good drama that have a great cast then you may like this.
Overall: 8.5/10.
