To begin, Brain fell off my drama radar after Song Sung Hyun dropped out from being the lead. That being said I had no interest in watching. However after reading a recap of the last episode after it had aired I decided to watch it just because the last episode peeked my interest…

Story- Really different! The first half of eps dealt with different patients and kept the story fresh. Then the second half of eps dealt more with the main Dr.’s personal life in addition to another Dr who had a major arc that took up the rest of the show. There is romance whoever it is only briefly touched upon. I thought this part was its weakness because the main Dr. and the main female Dr. had such a good chemistry, so I was kind of disappointed with the way they wrote it. The last episode was so cute in one sense but also angsty and kind of opened ended in some respects.

Acting/Cast- The two actors that stood out were Shin Ha Kyun (Dr. Lee Kang Hoon) and Jung Jin Young (Dr. Kim Sang Chul). They really did a phenomenal job of portraying their complex characters. I do have to mention that Dr. Lee was so scary for about most of the drama. His character was just too intense and I’ll just say it…psychotic for my liking. I was hoping for better character development but it didn’t happen. I actually loved the side characters and wish we got to see more of them because I feel like this drama was too centered on Dr. Lee. Unfortunately Choi Jung Won (who was brilliant in Stars Falling from the Sky) didn’t contribute anything to the show. Her character to me felt like she was just there to be Dr. Lee’s rag doll. This is evident even in the last few minutes of the ending.

Music- I really like the score it added to the intensity of certain scenes. The songs for the OST were memorable but nothing I’d listen to outside of the show.

Rewatch- Although I don’t regret watching this at all, I just didn’t get any enjoyment out of watching. Therefore I can’t say Id rewatch this.

Overall Brain is very very interesting but I just wasn’t in love with it. I do recommend watching it though. Its my first medical drama I’ve been able to finish so that’s worth something=)

This moive was EXCELLENT. not only did the story line keep you completely on the edge of your seat at all times but the way it was filmed was really different too. the transition between scenes was unlike anything ive seen before, in korean movies at least. it was very fun when it probably should have been serious at parts. The plot was very different and not stereotypical at all!
This movie was so good that i thought it should have been made into a drama instead. How they got all that information and drama into a single movie... blows my mind. seriously go watch this movie now if you haven't you wont be sorry ^^

At first, I was reluctant in watching this series because basically I watch only shows whom I know some or even one of the characters, or was recommended for me to watch by someone i know. And this one, I just watched it because this is the Top 2 series in Dramacrazy.net. At the beginning I wasn't that much attached to it, sometimes it took me 2 or 3 days before I continue to watch it. I'm not sure from which part, maybe on the middle part of the series, I got so much into it that I can't help but to watch continuously. The acting is good, I could say they portrayed their characters well. They were consistent. With the story, I don't know the manga version of this but this one has a great plotting. I just don't like the music, especially when the feeling has to be, you know, in love of some sort, the music became upbeat so instead of enjoying that part, I was disturbed. But over all, I certainly like this series and definitely, I recommend this to my friends. =)

So for starters I haven't read the manga of You're My Pet at all, but i have a feeling that the manga was a lot better just by what many people said about the movie. The movie was cute but I was really confused at times. I have so many questions especially pertaining to why did he suddenly decide to be her pet. Like they didn't really give or show enough reasons as to why he became her pet.
The movie was okay and the cast is great. Jang Geun Suk and Kim Ha Neul are both great actors but I feel like their acting in the movie didn't really fit it. They were both cute but I'm still really confused with the movie. I kind of expected a lot from this movie since I heard the manga and the anime were good. The movie was okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either.

Hello,everyone! This is my first review, so please be kind :). First to say, I'm only at ep 7, but I feel like I've already got the whole idea of this show and that there is no need for me to wait more. So,here I go.
First of all, I have to say that I'm one of the persons that sided with the main girl, SoRa. I like her style of being hardworking, but I can't stand the way she lets her roomie toy with her. She's too kind,even through you don't always figure that out at first sight.Beeing manlier,with no make-up on and not caring about her apperance,she has been dessappointed by all of her boyfriends,never even kissing before. The other girl,on the other hand, t's so annoyng that I had a really great time trying to calm myself down while watching her selfish behaviour and her "I-deserve-everything" attitude. Geez, that type of girl really gets an my nerves. (She's pretty,trough)She doesn't even care about SoRa's sacrifices and her help.
Now about the guys. I don't know what to do, but I usually happen to side with the second main character. Hahaha. Well, that could be because I know from the beginning who's gonna end up with whom, so I kinda feel sorry for the other guy.
The story is nice.I like the idea of a guy chasing the girl, as it usually is the other way around(BTW, i'm a girl). Plus,it's a story about a first love, misunderstandings, 10 years passing by and love rivals. It has a lot of elements.But I can't say that I addore both the story and the acting. More like,I don't think the regizor was good enough. I had times(many of them) when I just couldn't stop myself from being bored. The story just dragged for too long. This was in the firs episodes.Just so you know, this problem will slowly dissappear.The acting isn't great either, especially that of the two main couple.The music was ok and present when necessary, to intensify the moment. I am not a type to rewatch a show, no matter how much I liked it. But as it is not one of those mystery shows, I don't think you should worry about spoilers on the second round.
As I've also seen in the other reviews, the side stories are indeed disturbing and taking a lot of time, but they can be funny in their own way.
Overall,I recommend this drama. It's funy and a bit of a change from your usually so typical stuff, like a girl chasing a guy until he sees how wonderful she is and falls in love with her.The story here begins with an old,first love story being destroied by a misunderstanding, with the girl being cared for by the guy. Have fun!

Hot guys, dramatic plot, heart wrenching love, and did I mention hot guys? It's not hard to see why Boys Over Flowers is number one of Mysoju's top dramas of all times!!!
Every episode seemed to be a script out of Days of Our Lives, but I admit, the beginning had me from when she gets out of her dad's car, or well, whatever you want to call it, to start her new life at the prestigious school right until the end. It’s a drama that keeps you hooked and I wish, to be honest, they had spread the stories out as it soon became OTT and every scene less realistic than the last. It was because of this I was unable to completely fall in love with the characters and rather viewed it as a story without sadly any personal connection.
Easily my favourite character was Ji Hoo and it almost seemed as if BOF writers were trifling with the idea that true love and the love you should spend the rest of your life with are not the same person. Which is quite a unique idea. Apparent from that, the drama is quite shallow with basic themes of morality versus money being thrown out the window with the lingering close ups of extreme wealth at every turn.
However, in all that, a great fun Saturday night watch – not that I would watch Asian dramas on a Saturday night, geesh – and make sure to pick your own flower to fall in love with

whatever you do, if you decide to watch this movie...do NOT... I repeat... do NOT read up about it before you watch it. I randomly saw this movie online the other day and loved it and was so so glad that I didn't read up about it because I woulda definitely hit a spoiler... there's a twist in the story that made me do a 180 but had I read the reviews/comments I definitely woulda been spoiled, and woulda missed out on that...
this movie is Beautifully made (its on an island most of the time and the scenery is so beautiful) and the acting/cast did so well (I didn't know either actor but now they're definitely on my radar!) and its a great story!
I highly recommend watching this film..even if you don't like Taiwanese/Chinese film/dramas, this one seemed a little different to me and I found it to be quite good (great even!)

It's hard to not compare the movie to the manga because the manga is what made want to watch the movie. Still, I know better than to expect a movie to be exactly like the manga or anime. I'm totally fine with a different ending or different situations that don't follow the original story line. I think that makes the movie unique. With that said, I was still disappointed with this movie.

The story is good. I know the story from the manga. Even if the movie decided not to follow the manga at all, the concept is still good enough to make the movie great. It's a realistic concept. A student who hasn't developed a sense of self. Another student who helps her find her way. So how? How did this movie fail me? The execution was poor. Everything seemed like it took place in a matter of three days. There was no real transition and growth within the characters. It was just -this is the character -this is the situation -And this is the end. Where was the climax? There wasn't moment when I held my breath. Romance? Where? The romance was so sudden and poorly executed that I was confused. When did they fall in love and how? And I know this may sound crazy but the fashion was't there either. It was just enough for the viewer to understand that they liked fashion. Her hair wasn't all that and neither was her outfits. Throughout the movie I was wondering what was their budget.

The cast was okay but it could have been much better. I don't feel like the characters were defined. Where was the personality? The arrogance from George,the indecisiveness and determination from Yukari, the bubbly personality from Miwako. What I saw was actors not characters.Where was the chemistry? And once again where was the romance? I was disappointed with Yukari with the whole modeling thing. That could have been acted out much better. She didn't look like a model during the photo shoot and runway. Nothing looked natural. The characters had no growth. What was the moral of the movie?

I would watch this again, but not anytime soon. Overall the movie was okay but it's not anything I would buy. The movie left a stale aftertaste. It's not leaving any lingering thoughts or feelings like other movies do. Movies like this need eye candy at least. This concludes my long review. If you love the manga or anime then this is not for you. ^_^

Ajumma Power!
This is a fun popcorn movie. It's a fun romp to watch when you want something not too heavy. It's kind of a buddy-flick for girls lol. The story, was fine. Notice I didn't say believable, lol they never are, but it kept moving along nicely and at a decent pace. It never takes itself to serious, even during the more "dramatic" scenes. It had a couple of little wrenches thrown in, but your not going to get to the end and be like - "Wow he WAS Keyser Söze!" Then again I don't mind a formulaic plot as long as they do it well.
Kim Sun Ah does a great job as the lead. Her comedic timing is great, and her acting was well done. The other 3 female leads did a nice job of supporting her. I think it was great that they represented every stage of a woman's life, the younger woman, the middle aged woman, and the older woman.
Do I think you should watch it? Yes. Especially if your a fan of Kim Sun Ah like I am. It might even make you ponder the question, would YOU take the gold in front of you? And if so, for what reasons?

(please note- I wanted to leave re-watch blank, as I really don't EVER re-watch, so I feel I really shouldn't answer it)

I'm not the biggest fan of Yoona so i was reluctant to watch this drama even though it's lead was Kwon Sang Woo. I'm really glad i ended up watching it though. The acting is very well done. Sang Woo plays both people so well that it makes you actually believe they could be completely different actors. I feel like this drama really deserves more credit than its gotten. It isn't so popular because it claims to be about the two men that look exactly alike where as its really only about one of the men, and Yoona. Definitely worth watching. Very good movie. Make me respect Yoona a lot more as an actor as well.
