i watched this drama during my super boring time of my life...
i got curious after i read the story line then got really interested after i watched the first episode and the boredom vanished right a way.

and the reason i think is because it has a fantastic cast, humor, romance, mystery, thrill, comedy and a very effective drama that can cried your heart out.

It's a must watched drama cause it has all the flavor of a good story of love, hatred, and sacrifice. enjoy it and spread the good reviews about this incredible Kdrama.. fighting!. :)

p.s it's very addicting after you watched the first episode so prepare to be hungry for more of it.

Although the premise for Man of Honor is kind of vague, it turned out to be totally different from what I expected. Whether that is good or bad you’ll have to decide for yourself…

Story- It started off as any melodrama does with a traumatic event in the main characters childhood that separates them for many years until they meet again by chance or I guess fate. When they do meet again their lives are intertwined once again but this time many big secrets come out and in a way although they are able physically to remain by each others side they aren’t able to come together romantically till like the end due to these life changing secrets.

I liked the story enough because I never felt bored but I wish they would’ve cut it down by at least 4 episodes. The beginning episodes were kind of not that interesting so if they would have left some of that stuff out it really would have made the drama more enjoyable. The episodes didn’t feel long because they were well written but the series as a whole felt too long. Another weak point would be the romance. There were not enough romantic scenes between the leads. So even though this is supposed to be a romance drama it felt more like a business drama because they really focused more on the revenge/ company matters/ job competition portion. Something I did like from the story was the ending. For the most part they settled everything in a realistic manner and it didn’t feel rushed.

Acting/Cast- The acting by everyone was a pleasant surprise. I planned on watching this in the first place for Chun Jung Myun and already new he was a great actor. But I was worried when he got paired off with Park Min Young (didn’t like her acting in Sungyungwan Scandal and thought she was annoying in City Hunter) but I feel like she really tried with her character in this. Unfortunately, the leads had no romantic chemistry and it felt like they were suited to be best friends/siblings. Another actor I wanted to mention was Lee Jang Woo. Although this was the first role I had seen him in, I was impressed by how he portrayed his complex character as the arrogant but vulnerable chaebol son. I also will mention that I liked a lot of the supporting cast that played the characters on the Team Leader Heo’s sales team in the company. They made the business portion of the drama fun to watch. I also want to give it up to the actor that played our villain Chairman Seo. He was really scary and every time he yelled I got goosebumps!

Music- It was well done. It was memorable, but Im not obsessed with listening to it outside of the show.

Rewatch- Its really only good for a one time watch just because it can drain you and the romance wasn't that good. However, it is watchable because you dont get bored.


Although Man of Honor is not one of the best dramas I’ve watched, it isn’t as horrible as everyone is making it out to be. Is it a drama you’ll be missing out on if you don’t watch? No. But If you like Chun Jung Myun well enough and you like melodramas with a happy ending, Id recommend this.

This truly is an adorable drama. The story is unique, not so unique, but it definitely has it's own twists and turns. The romance in this drama seems real, and true. I don't quite see how they fell in love, but at least they did, right? This drama incorporated not only love between a couple, but all sorts of views of love; love between parents and their children, between siblings, coworkers, friends, the list goes on and on. This drama shows that the greatest thing of life is love, and that it might not be easy, but pushing through and holding on to love will have the best outcome in the end. The cast did great. The actors embodied their characters. I loved how the lead female was not some crazy, outgoing character that most leads are. She wasn't the kind of person that would seem to be the ideal first choice, and that's what made her so unique. The few other lead females were crazy, and took on the evil role, but at the same time were characters that were viewed as human with faults and as a character with a heart. The one thing I loved the most about the lead male, Jae hee is the fact that he was a self made person. The character was not some spoiled heir to some fancy company, but in fact, he worked his way up from the bottom and earned every buzzillion trillion penny that added up to him becoming a billionaire all on his own talent! The music was great. There weren't too many songs, but each every song was a song that you would want to listen to on a regular basis. No fancy lyrics, and no heartfelt impact in the songs, but they were highly catchy and so enjoyable that I am buying the OST to the drama as soon as I can. I probably wouldn't want to rewatch. The drama was cute, but some of the episodes were repetitive. It felt like the writers just added crap to fill the time. Honestly, this drama could have been done in 13 episodes instead of 15, but I'm glad there were more episodes no matter how annoying a few of them may have been. Overall, one of the cutest dramas ever. I loved the love between the main characters. The acting was great, and although the story wasn't highly unique it was still unique in it's own way through the minor details. Cute drama that is worth watching when you're in the mood for a lighthearted cutesy drama. :)

This drama is really worth to watch. If you're looking for a romantic comedy with yet some dark and sad moments this one is done for you :D

First of all the story: even if there is the usual rich man falling for a poor woman, it seems more like it was done so that it's different from what everyone is used to. And all along the plot brought you with itself. Well nearly all along because there is a moment where i thought that it was beginning to get boring (and that's why i didn't give it a higher score) but some times later it got me again.

Next the cast: i didn't know most of the cast and i was wonderfully surprised. The lead actors are just great,there is a chemistry between Ming Dao & Chen Joe that made me dream! And Zhao Joyce, and Wang Sam i didn't expect them to act so well, i did not ever see them before that though... Anyway Joyce just amazed me and Sam got me heartbroken. The supports were good as well, so funny i think that they gave most of the joyfulness in the drama x)

Then let's talk about music: all of you know that in music as much as in other taste it depends on yourself. For me whose not fond of Chinese or Taiwanese music (most of the time there still are some that i love) i didn't like the opening at all. I just got used to it after the 30 episodes but that's all.

I don't think i'll rewatch this drama before a long long time. It was good but still not enough for me to watch again right after finishing it.

Well it's my first time, writting something like that. But in this case i had to do it. Just because this film is AMAZING.
From first minute to the last one. You just can't stop watching it and you keep wondering what happen next.
First time I saw so interesting plot. It's not typical love story. We can watch many of them. But here writer done well job. We can see the creativity and freshness and that's the most important. We all are great fans of dramas and asian movies but in fact after some time we started to be bored of the same patterns. In this case you won't feel like I can guarantee...
And hey i know what I'm writting :)
This movie is for everyone!
You like romantic movies?... Here U are but love is shown in specific way...
You like horror movies?... Well maybe it's not so scary but you will like it...
Movie is mixing this two kinds of films and adding a dose of humor.
So watch it and you will see why it is so good.

You're Beautiful meets Coffee Prince...there is nothing else to it.

Must admit that the theme alone had me watch it in one sitting, but couldn't help being disappointed with how it ended. Since, when a story ends, I like to see most of the loose ends tied, specially the main conflict. Besides this, it was a pretty enjoyable ride.

Gave it an 8 because I did like the theme. Otherwise, the story was all over the place and there were too many things that just were not explained or didn't make sense in the plot. The acting was ok, a little bit over acted in some parts (but nothing one really minds), plus, the k-pop star value present was really pleasing. The music was ok as well. But I don't think I will watch this show again.

If you don't have another drama you are dying to watch, then I suggest you watch this one. It is entertaining enough, most of the characters are adorable and there are k-pop stars galore! What I really didn't like was the final episode for a lack of conflict resolution. I don't mind stories having open endings...that is, when they are done right and are the result of the wrap up of the main storyline.

This is not a drama for the faint of heart or squeamish. It is totally gross at times because they do brain surgery. The story is well written until the very end. I found it unbelievable that some of the characters that committed heinous crimes could be regretful and be forgiven. However, the rest of the story is consistent and the characters are well written. There is jealousy and misunderstanding all the way through this drama. If you are looking for lighthearted and sweet, then skip this one. There may be some sweet moments, but they are few and far between.
The brother rivalry between the male leads is what made the drama good.
I am a So Ji Sub fan and I think that he is a great actor. He did really well playing the character of Cho In. Cho In goes through a lot of traumas and finds truths about his life that changes his personality. Although his character changes in some ways, he is unfailing when making a choice between life and death. If it weren’t for So Ji Sub, then I can’t honestly say I would have watched this drama.
Shin Hyun Joon did a fair job of playing Seon Woo. He seemed to overact a little. I think it actually worked for this character, because he was mentally unstable. It is not hard to feel sorry for this character. If you just listen to his pain, it is easier to understand where his actions are coming from. I’m not advocating his actions because they are unwarranted. It is just that once the ball was rolling, I don’t think that he knew how to stop it and finally didn’t want to.
I am also a Han Ji Min fan and her role as Young Ji was played perfectly. Young Ji is a sweet and loveable character even when she does things she shouldn’t.
Oh Kang Chul was a major character that had beautiful moments with Lee Cho In and I believe helped set Cho In’s new course in life.
I really didn’t like Seo Yeon, I found her strange and indecisive.
The other bad guys (there are too many to name) are a little over the top and some of them are completely unbelievable. I also thought that the writers let the bad guys look stupid and let them get away with way too much. I guess it wouldn’t be a drama without them.
The music is ok.
This is a great watch, but I probably won’t watch It again.

Honestly, I thought I would hate this movie. Initially I thought "Oh it's just another story about a girl who just is gonna change herself and get everything she wants including the guy." Although I'm not entirely wrong by thinking this, I noticed that they go over both the ups and downs of plastic surgery. Overall the story sends a strong message that just changing your flaws won't necessarily make your life better but It also teaches that there is nothing wrong with those who decide what they do or don't do with their own bodies. You can't look down on those who wish to change themselves. You're the only one that has to walk in your shoes. The main character Ha-Na/Jenny was very likable and although she did things we may agree or disagree with throughout the movie, she is still a very relate-able character. We've all felt ugly once or twice. Overall, I really liked this movie and would recommend it to even the most adverse towards Plastic Surgery. Good Movie.

I see a lot of people didn't enjoy this but in my humble opinion it is worth a shot.

Not a lot actually happens if I'm honest; but even so it manages to carry itself for a full 2 hours. It's a very simple story about love & life getting in the way.

I am not a huge fan of Ikuta Toma but his acting is really good here & I think he suits his role perfectly. Aragaki Yui as Sae is also lovely to watch & listen to, she has a really soothing voice which helps with the overal tone of the movie.

Not 100% sure what to take away from it but all in all not a bad watch if you have nothing better to do.

This movie is about love triangle, friendship put to the test and fulling hidden dreams.

Story is about choices we need to made in our life to be truly to ourselves. Just like Sang-ina decides to become chef and leaves corporation office to start everything anew. Like Mo-rae needs to decide is she ready to leave her safe place and stop being little girl all the time. She meets Him and every touch is natural and passionate. Young stranger brigs with him salvation and degradation to both Sang-ina and Mo-rae.

Joo Ji Hoon acting is adorable, he seduces Mo-rae in most delicate way. But in every step his closer to Mo-rae and further form Sang-ina. I enjoyed Shin Min Ah acting, maybe she was a little to greedy and that made both men miserable but in the end she was fair.

Sometimes movie was a little unclear, ending was good I like unsaid and open endings. Music just great, all instrumental parts of the Ost were so warm and calm. Joo Ji Hoon even sings in french ^^

First I have to say I was a little biased because I'm such a huge Kubozuka Yosuke fan. I guess I would like every drama he's in.

First I was a little surprised because after reading the summary I was expecting a completely different drama. I never watched a Science Fiction Drama before and I was skeptical. Also it seemed so unrealistic that I was wondering if it would be okay.

Still even after only a few minutes I grew so fond of the characters that I continued watching. The story wasn't as important anymore, because I was just cheering for the characters to be strong and hang on.

The main couple had an amazing chemistry and they were really, really cute. But still I liked that the romance wasn't the main point.

I also liked how important the bonds between the characters and their friendship was portrayed. It was lovely and cute.

I was a little disappointed by the ending, but I guess you can't help that with a story like that.

Still I personally rated it a 10 because I couldn't stop watching once I started and that's a rare thing.
I'm recommending this to everyone, even if they don't like science fiction or if the summary doesn't sound appealing. At least give it a try. :)

at first it makes me off to watch this kdrama because i thought it just melodrama type. But then on a second thought and because i really love and a big fan of jang geun suk i watched it.. Surprisingly i got hook up,
i never seen such a drama like this from 70's to present it really amaze me how they got to shoot like that in 70's without a flaws.

The first time team up of jang geun suk and yoona is just right for it. I love them and how they act it's seems so real. It has all in 1 kdrama that i want to watch.

hope you all find it interesting too and watch it. im sure you all gonna love it like i do. kudos to all!.. fighting!. :)

by the way i had the ringtone of hana there... ahehe i really love it so i made it my ring tone too...

I started love rain, for two reasons: First, I was moved by the story of both Endless Love 1 and 2 and I was very thrilled to know that love rain has the same writer and director, so I did have high hopes for it. Second, I enjoyed JGS's acting/role in You're Beautiful/He's Beautiful and he's really an actor of high potentials and I'm looking forward to his new role in love rain. If you share the same reasons as me, then you should try love rain.

For the story, I would like to breakdown my comments for the 70's and 2012 scenes. FOR THE 70's EPISODES, some says that it was slow. Yes it was, YET, it my pov, the slow turn of events suited the time it was in. It was beautiful and romantic, the story was a little bit of cliche, BUT it was still heartwarming to watch. I still find the story sweet. FOR THE 2012 EPISODES, the story pick-up. The scenes on the 2012 were very cute and exciting. I really appreciate the difference of the stories in the two periods. You can really see how today's generation is different from the past. However, I must admit I did not enjoy some of the scenes in the later part of the drama. YET, I still enjoyed most of the scenes.

JGS was still good as ever, I find his scenes very very sweet and I can't help but feel in love with his lines and character, both in the 70's and 2012 scenes. For Yoona, I've only watched two dramas starring her. This and Cinderella man. So, I could only compare her acting skills for CM and LR. For me, Yoona did improved a lot. I find her acting very bad in Cinderella Man (I don't know why but I just don't like how the way she acts in that drama). Back to Love rain, Yoona did a good job in her character. Yoona and JGS has a chemistry. Still, I was looking forward for the other cast's characters to grow, wish they had showed side stories about the other characters, it might have been much much better.

Music was good and I find it romantic too. Ahmm, and I must commend on the cinematography (though, I didn't know much about it). I enjoyed the colors. It was beautiful to watch. It was catchy and very pretty.
Rewatch value, I can only rate it 7.

Overall, Love Rain is a good drama and for those who love classic love stories, this is the right drama for you!
