This is one of the drama second seasons that I've waited and rooted for. And they didn't disappoint me! I'm not going to throw in any spoilers, but I must say, even if I was a bit concerned about the road the drama would follow after the end of the first season, the ending was both(un)expected (depending on the viewer, here) and truly heartbreaking ... in a good way. I must say I am still obsessed with the story - not so much the manga because I don't really like the style of drawing they used. I weep every time I hear the main theme and Itoshiki hibi yo...
All in all, maybe a doctor would be a bit suspicious of the medical part of the drama, but the story itself is beautiful and it's worth watching. Not to say that Osawa Takao, Ayase Haruka and the whole cast do a wonderful job!

Story - I found it to be enjoyable, however, I also found it to be one of those dramas that would pick something (aka, details) up, and then drop them (such as the tarot cards in the beginning; I seriously thought that that would play a big role in the story but the only thing was the bell ringing. Another one is Eun Bi's boyfriend. I thought the end of him would be after his new girlfriend threw water balloons at Eun Bi). There may be a second season, right? I hope, because I wish this drama could've gone longer, and tied up and completed 100% of every single thing instead of 99.9%

Acting/Cast - The reason why I watched this drama was because my friend kept telling me to...and because Jung Il Woo is in it. Some of it is over-exaggerated, although, I think it was meant to be like that, especially in the beginning episodes. In the later ones, I didn't find that as much. Ba Wool, in my opinion, is the most comical in the drama. Also, I give props to Lee Chung Ah for her hilarious acting in this drama (especially the last episode with the plunger)! Chi Soo doesn't show much character development, and the amount that the character did develop, was only in the very, very end. His character could also annoy A LOT of people.

Music - I extremely LOVED the music, from the playful melodies to Shayne Orok's OST for the song ^^ When they're in cafe's or the like, there's American music playing, like Bruno Mar's Grenade.

Rewatch Value - I'd watch this more for the comedy or have it be eye-candy if your favorite, favorite actor/actress is in here.

Overall - A fun, funny drama. The ending isn't to some's liking; depends on whether or not your own Chi Soo or Kang Hyuk's side.
It's nice to watch after you've been watching something like The Moon That Embraces The Sun...or if you just watched 49 Days and want to see Jung Il Woo play a different role on a happier-ish note.

The best drama I've seen since King of Baking. This drama has heart, and a lot of it. It hits home in a way that a lot of drama's can't even try to. It's about friendships being tested by things that are inevitably going to happen in any friendship - but on a whole different level. Almost instantly do you make room in your heart for the cast - - their all so different yet there's one thing that brings them close together: Their need to belong. Their need to succeed. Their need to just find out who they want to be, while they all seek their common goal: playing music for fun, with each other - forever. It's all about finding yourself and not giving up - your goals or your friendship - to get to that one place that you all feel is 'where you belong'.
The cast was absolutely beautiful. The characters were all portrayed well and the best thing was it wasn't just believable, but it actually felt real. I've laughed with these characters, cried with these characters, and even got pissed with these characters. It's an instant connection - Honestly I haven't met/talked to ONE person who isn't head over heels in love with this drama. What the actual heck are you doing with your life if you haven't watched this drama yet?

I almost gave up on this show after the first episode, but after seeing cute parts in fanvideos, I decided to give it another go. And I'm glad I did. This show was really cute. I still like HYD way better, but Boys Before Flowers is unique enough to be worth watching. The acting isn't as good (it's pretty much either really stiff or really exaggerated) but I still got to like the characters. The biggest plus about this show is that it has lots of eye candy. Pretty costumes, pretty scenery, pretty boys. So basically it's cute, it's funny, it's eye candy. Definitely worth watching once.

Jang Geun Seok does a great job portraying a teen dad. In America we see a lot of movies about teen moms...there is even a reality tv show about teen moms. We never see anything about teen dads. Actually I take that back, there is one made for tv movie about a teen dad that was really good, but not as good as this one.
The struggle he has to take care of his child is really well done and there are some great funny parts.
Kim Byeol steels the show with her quirky smart character. I really loved that she made #1 in class over that jerk of a kid in her class.
It is a really good story that ends well. I recomend everyone watch it.

I'm always up for a gritty drama, so Hateful But Once Again was right up my alley...

Story- So reading the synopsis you don't really get much. The mother making the marriage deal with the younger main female character is really the smallest part of the plot. The bigger story lies in the entanglements of the older adult characters. Their story pretty much takes over most of the plot with the romance btwn Park Ye Jin & Jung Gyu Woon's characters being the underlying plot. There's many twists thrown in that does make this a worthy drama to watch. I didn't like the ending all that much for the older adult characters because it seemed so messed up. The ending for the young couple was good but I felt like the writers kind of treated it like it was no big deal. The biggest problem that I had with this drama is the fact it was way to long. It really could have been done in 18 episodes max. Towards the middle I got tired of the older cast's storyline and therefore fast forwarded through a lot of their scenes. I even skipped like 3 episodes towards the end just so I could get it over with.

Acting- The older female leads did a solid job. I felt thier pain and felt sympathetic towards thier characters even thought they both could be called villains. I had no sympathy for the older adult male lead. His acting seemed fake and I just didn't like his character at all. As for the young leads, Park Ye Jin did a decent job acting wise because she actually showed some expression. In contrast, Jung Gyu Woon really was solid. He portrayed his complex character so well.

Music- Fit the scenes well but it wasn't memorable.

Rewatch- It's low because I can't watch this whole drama again due to the amount of episodes. I would get bored easily.

Overall, if you like dark dramas with really complex characters, and have a lot of patience, I would say give this one a try.

At first, I wasn't even interested in this drama but I watched it out of my friends recommendations and all the great reviews that I found everywhere, so naturally I had great expectations and I wish I haven't. Yes, the drama is good but i was expecting more.
Anyway, the cast here have one of the most believable acting skills ever; I was extremly captured by that. The music was nice even though I don't actually focus on any drama's music but here it sticked in my mind.
To tell the truth what actually bothered me about this drama was those moments where the boss liked Eun Chan as a boy and all the parts related to that; I was disgusted by it sorry but I hate those gay moments; It's just my opinion anyway. Beside that the drama was good, I fell for it and for the cast especially the princes; I liked each and every one of them, I laughed a lot in many scenes they had together plus they were so cute.
Yoon Eun Hye played her role in a great way here, she's one of the fewest actresses who's very believable as a boy even the supporting actors were good.
If you're a rom-com lover then you need to watch this.

The first five episodes were boring. Firts episode was okay, but then the story got weird. I didn't like the main actor, he was just so annoying and unrealistic. But i liked the other characters so i kept watching the show. Thank god i didn't dropped it, because after the sixth episode the story changed interesting and more connected. The character changed and got more adultlike.
I think that the actors did pretty good job. Well the main actors weren't that good, but all the supporting actors were incredible and so funny. The best was Kang Min Hyuk who played the drummer Yeo Joon Hee. He was so cute and funny. And Woo Ri acted realistically the anorexia girl.
And what else can you expect from music, when the main actors are Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa. I'm still not that familiar with korean music, but i'm really starting to like it. But the traditional music was somehow odd...
The ending left few question without answers and i think they could have done one more episode and explain some matters.
Anyway i liked this show. It wasn't perfect, but i would recommend this to all of you who like pretty cheesy romance with some plot twist. If you like action and surprises, this isn't your drama.

First time,I was unsure to watch this drama..
I know Gong Hyo Jin because a lot of rom-comedy drama that she had.
However, she didn't leave me so much impression about her.
But, I didn't have any idea who Cha Seung Won was..
And I found that the two main leads weren't attractive for me..
So, I didn't interested to watch..
Then, I accidentally read some comments that showing it deserved to be watched. Finally, I decided to watch!!!!
OMG!! Although, the story about celebrity's life wasn't new for me..
The plot is great!! Every character was portraying their role so well..
What I can't forget about this drama is the sexiness of Dok Go Jin's voice.. "Ding Dong" >.<
Now, I'm loving them both lol.. :)
The ost songs are so sweet and enjoyable..
I don't recommend this drama for everyone who looking for attractive main leads.. But, I recommend this one for everyone who looking for drama that worth to watch.. Don't miss it!!!
