Reviews

This drama is about a 20 year old woman with the mental capacity of a 7 year old. She ends up bumping into a guy who she falls in love with and thinks is her prince charming. The guy thinks she is cute and in the beginning fails to notice that she is mentally slow.

This story is very original with the main characters' relationship as only a part of the much bigger story. First and foremost it's a coming of age drama about a woman who is a self proclaim late bloomer.

This movie is great to watch and I highly recommend it if someone wants to watch a good story without devoting hours to a long drama. Overall I give this movie an 8 and I will defiantly re-watch.

I'm so surprised when i hear that a lot of people have never heard of this drama. i feel like it should be a classic. The story is very original and different from the typical rich boy, poor girl type that we usually see. Its a first time ive seen a drama deal with age difference being the main problem in the relationship, especially not when its the girl who is older.
i absolutely loved the fact that this drama was sort of... risqué. It doesn't try to conceal the truth about relationships and talks about couples sleeping together as it is; a normal thing. This is something i have NEVER even come close to seeing in a Korean drama. The acting was really good. Also, the character's were all pretty realistic too. There wasn't any "crazy" psycho girl that you want to punch in the face, like a lot of dramas these days. I really, really loved this drama and i can't wait to watch it again. This is definitely one of my favourites.

I was a little hesitant to watch it at first, because when I read the summary i thought it would have a really cheap and shallow plot, oh boy was I wrong.
I got a bit confused at first, but then everything became clear as it went on, with a cleary good acting, it really deserves to be re-watched.
It's really good and captivating
The characters are really well chosen, and the landscapes and places are really beautifull.
The soundtrack was pretty but could have been better in a way.
As expected from this kind of movie, it has a sad and glommy moment, you'll probably see yourself crying in some parts, but of course there's always some cosy moments that warm your heart.

Story: Death might not seem like an original plotline, for me it isn't, but the idea of doing a movie based on a "nokanshi"'s work seemed pretty interesting to me. I had never seen anyone do something like that. And It was, particularly, interesting to see the way they are viewed by friends and family.

Acting: I really liked the acting. The initial reactions everyone had, the way people mourned. I've never seen a "nokanshi" work, but the way the actors gave life to the ritual in those scenes through the movement of their hands, and body in general, made it look like art. It was beautiful and I felt fascinated by all of it.

The way the movie closed was also touching and beautiful.

Music: The music was excellent. It created the right atmosphere by intensifying the feelings and actions the actors were portraying or by creating a calm atmosphere when needed. It never felt like it didn't belonged.

One thing you should know before starting this movie is that it's not a terribly exciting like those with lots of action sequences. It has a slow kind of pace, but it's over before you know it because of the way the story flows and the way the music helps that flow. It also has a few minor comedic scenes tossed in there. I'm sure I'll eventually re-watch it.

at first i was watching this because it was related to music and the lead actor was Sung Joon from lie to me but trust from there i was just watching it just because it was really good and captivating. i thought people wouldn't really watch it because it airs the same time as Dream high but it proved me wrong.

judging by the trailer u definitely knew it was going to be about rock and probably a dark drama but yeah... it kinda is. however this wouldn't be drama if it didn't have sad or dark moments and truthfully it has more happy moments than sad. you'll see your self crying then just after awhile you'll be giggling and smiling because of that one particular character that lights up the drama's mood that makes you love the show more than you thought it would.

in the end the actors, music, plot, and romance is daebak

I had high anticipations for this drama. It started off really promising: it was funny, it had great and beautiful actors in it. But as the story went on, it started to get boring. The story resembled a typical shoujo manga: we have a dumb, average looking girl; a handsome, rich but a jerk guy and another guy, who isn`t rich, nor he is the most handsome, but he has a very kind heart. And all manga-drama the girl can`t choose who she likes more. Like, seriously? Who would like a jerk who calls you "crap"? Sheesh...
There were many funny scenes but, in my opinion, they didin`t compensate for repeating scenes over and over again. Almost all episodes were similar: the jerk guy does something sweet for the girl, she thinks she may like him more, but then he ruins everything by calling her mean names, ect. Then the good guy appears, does something sweet, but then the rich guy appears again...
I struggled a lot to finish Flower Boy Ramyun Shop. In the last 7 episodes, I felt like it was my duty to finish the drama, not because I liked it, but because I`ve dropped a lot of dramas already...

The acting was as good as it can be with such unrealistic scenes. Male leads done especially good job in adding something more real to their cliché characters. However, I found myself disappointed in female heroine. Her acting wasn`t good.

The soundtrack was satisfying, I especially liked Jung Il Woo`s song A Person Like You.

Overall, although the story is really cliché, the acting was pretty good. I would recommend this drama to people, who want break from serious dramas.

This drama was very unique to me since I had never seen one about shogi. Heck I didn't even know what shogi was until I saw this drama. I loved how the actors were really into their roles. Naka Riisa was really able to convince us with her dual personalities as the shogi champ and the maid. The suspensful "gaming" music was pretty cool too. And I do not like to rewatch dramas much because I feel uneasy watching it twice. Even after putting so many tens on this review I still gave it an eight because there are a few moments in some episodes where I was bored and stared off but those moments were brief. Overall I think people should give it a chance it makes you laugh once in a while.

I loved the story for this movie since it sounded unique to me, I had never seen a movie or drama of a similar story and so that is why I was intrigued to watch it. Also I am not gonna lie one of the biggest contributing factors to why I wanted to see this movie is because Hero and U-know were in it. On an unbiased note I think the acting of everyone were excellent. The music was pretty good too. There were various scenes from this movie that I loved and still remember. Even thought I like this movie I would not rewatch it because I am not much of a rewatcher. I think it would have been better as a drama so we could get more details and have a better development of character and plot.

To tell the truth this movie is for more mature audiances. The story was not the best and it did not totally stink but it was just there. I do think the actors did a good job and worked with what they were given. For music well there really wasn't much music in this movie. I would not watch this movie again for various reasons. I beleive this is one of those movies that is specifically for older people and this is why it is best left for those who are married or of marrying age. If you see the movie you will know why. I do not think this review can be of much help because I feel you should watch for yourself since it really depends on the individual and their taste.

First of all, I REALLY LIKE YOON SHI YOON HERE! Some people said that they like him better in The King of Baking Kim Tak Goo, but as for me, I like him better here. As for the reasons, I'll put it in the acting section.

Hmm, I think my first reason why I watch this drama is because I watch the OST's MV.. It's Too Much Tears by Suzy (yes, thanks to Suzy for leading me to watch this..)

Story: the story actually, as for me, just average.. or maybe a bit more than average. the story line is just.. too common. Romance, family problems, love problems, jealousy. Yep, but that's it. Nothing really different from other dramas that excite me more. Maybe I think the only thing that's interesting for me from this drama is Seo Jae Hee's complicated character and background.
Moreover, I think there's not much people interested in this drama, so it took so much time for the English subbed to be out, and it actually decrease my interest.
BUT, one more thing that makes me give score 7 not 6 was, the ending is a perfectly happy ending. It's a happy ending for everyone. I really like the ending :)

Acting: I read in a few source that originally, Seo Jae Hee will be played by Kim Jae Won. But I think, switch him to Yoon Shi Yoon is a great idea. In my opinion, Yoon Shi Yoon has successfully brings out the "dark" side of Seo Jae Hee. Seo Jae Hee is a complicated character, and Yoon Shi Yoon has succeed in playing his role :)
As for Lee Ji Ah, she also did a pretty good job. The thing is, I really like the chemistry between Seo Jae Hee & Cha Bong Seon! It makes me goes "Awww.. so sweet :)"
And Ki Kwang! He is just sooo cute. Jo Ma Ru's character suit him well! The rest of the character is also great.

Soundtrack: most of them are good. It really swings my mood while watching, even outside of it. Some of them are now playing continuously in my playlist.

Rewatch: just like I said in the story section, the plot is actually not much different from other dramas, and maybe it's my personal opinion, because I don't really rewatch the dramas I've watched.

Overall, it's just good. Nothing outstanding in particular, besides from Yoon Shi Yoon's acting and Jae Hee-Bong Seon's chemistry.

This is definitely one of the best drama I've ever had! I am a big fan of CSI, and when I found CSI-like Korean Drama, I was really excited.
Just like CSI, Vampire Prosecutor has 1 case in each episodes, but there's a long term case (which have something to do about Prosecutor Min's past). That's exactly why I like CSI & Vampire Prosecutor. It really holds me to watch this to the very end, and to find out the truth from Prosecutor Min's past.

Story: there's a lot of plot twist in this drama. You really can't guess what will be revealed in the next episodes. The script writer really did a brilliant job, and making the 2nd season is really great decision. I must say, the story line is outstanding. Even though, you must not wishing for romance between Yoo Jung In & Min Tae Yeon. There's just about 5% romance in this whole series, so don't hope too much. It really just about the mystery cases and Min Tae Yeon's past.

Acting: Yun Jung Hoon really did a good job, and because of Vampire Prosecutor, he officially becomes one of my favorite actor. His acting is terrific, and so does Lee Won Jong. Even so, I can't give the perfect score because of Lee Young Ah. Hmmm.. How should I put it? She's good, but I can't really understand her character. Maybe it's just me, but maybe it's just her character is the mysterious and complicated one.

Soundtrack: one of the soundtrack is now on my playlist! Well but other than that, I just like to hear them on the drama to build up the mood.

Rewatch: yes, I would recommend to rewatch. I also would love to rewatch this drama because of the story, and because of Yun Jung Hoon :p

Overall, this drama is GREAT GREAT and GREAT! Especially for you, the CSI fan. Even though, the forensic technology cannot be compared with what they used in CSI, but how Prosecutor Min solved the case, it is the main attraction from this drama.
