At first I don't really like it because its comedy genre, and I doubt to start watching this because as long as I remember the manga wasn't really appealing to me. Fortunately, I got convinced by all the good review and rank in some site if not I won't see this wonderful dorama.
Comedic dorama based on manga usually have unreal expression in them, and that whats happen in this drama too. But it's not even feel awkward in this dorama. All the character look convincing and play they part perfectly. They played their character into every little detail that make me feel they are the real person.

I'm a huge Kim Sun Ah and Cha Seung Wong Fan and I have to say that I loved every minutes of this show. And man All of Cha Seung Wong Dramas have great ending ... I really applaud their dedication in touching subjects that people usually shy away from, because it's a know true that very few people want to mention the themes of unemployment, poverty, agricultural sovereignty, political and corporate corruption, pollution( although not really something hammered on.) and collusion this drama presents.Besides partisan politics and what constitutes democracy. Although the drama start a little slow it's doesn't slide awa y of the marks once it find it's marks. It's definitively a wonderful feel-good romance with adults, adult feelings and drama that was believable and compelling.I personally was one of those person who didn't want to watch it because I didn't feel like getting into a political show, and deal with all political jargon and all other headaches that usually comes with politics but after starting it I realize that though there were obviously political issues throughout the show, it was first and foremost a love story that put a huge mile high smile plastered on my face and make you say wow. Since watching it last year ( well we are in 2012 and all) I have rewatched it times. It is the top ten of my recommended drama.

Oh my god City Hunter. So I will be honest, when I first started this drama I was skeptical. Extremely skeptical. I had previously see Lee Minho in BOF and Personal Taste and was not impressed. He (and the story) did not strike me as anything particularly unique. I expected City Hunter to be an action mess, one which had no real plot or character development... Boy, was I wrong. For starters, this drama changed my perception of Lee Minho. He sold an incredibly complicated yet motivated Yoonsung so, so well! It came to a point where I thought Yoonsung was actually LM in disguise (for only a moment though-XDD).
Now, I would say that Lee Minho was the best part of this drama but I would be doing an enormous disservice to the rest of the cast and to the actual plot. The cast was brilliant. Simply brilliant. While I found Nana frustrating as times, everyone was spot on (and I am not exaggerating). Lee Joonghyuk as Prosecutor YongJu rivals Lee Minho's performance; his character is oh, so much more that meets the eye-I also love that he is so devoted to his principles.
And, then there is the story. When I first started CH, I was quite lost-I had no idea what was going on, but trust me, it gets much better. The drama creates a world in which the line of wrong and justice blur, a world in which a vigilante emerges from the seeds of revenge. I actually love that this drama is such an emotional rollercoaster. Personally, I am not a fan of melodramas but I stuck with this drama because it was so damn entertaining (plus possessed major eye candy ;D). The action sequences were fun and very skillfully filmed. CH is one of those dramas in which the director really did know what he was doing. The villan is brilliant. Simply BRILLIANT. He left me speechless numerous times.
Overall, City Hunter is a wonderful blend of comedy (yes, it is quite funny), romance, action and drama. I would recommend it to anyone, including someone who has never seen an Asian drama before. (The only reason my Rewatch value is lower is because I am not sure if I can live through this drama again-you will see what I mean ;))

I can't believe that no one has rewritten a review for HYD2 yet! This drama is one of my all time favorites (amongst Japanese and Korean dramas); I loved the storyline (having read the manga and seen Meteor Garden before this one) and all of its characters. HanaDan is brilliant in that it captures the lives of these seemingly unbelievable characters in such an honest and beautiful way. I will admit, when I first started the first season, I did not like any of the characters despite being invested in the story. However, Tsukasa, Rui, Makino and rest of the characters quickly won me over. When you are watching this, you can tell just how devoted the actors really are. The acting is argubly one of the best aspects of HanaDan with a great cameo by Ikuta Toma in this season. I will forever love Oguri Shun as Hanazawa Rui. He is the standard by which I compare all second leads-I also adore Matsujun as Tsukasa as he flawlessly portrays an incredibly rash and violent character who turns out to posses an enormous heart (metaphorically). The soundtrack also deserves attention of its own: I still listen to OST for this drama and love the songs to pieces.
Overall, I just want to say that I like the this drama is not as bright and cheery as the Korean version. It has a darker tone, which I think only helps to sell its story. This is BY FAR, my favorite version of BOF (I've seen all the versions including the Mainland Chinese one) and I'm an advocate of almost every aspect of this drama. I do, of course, suggest that you watch the first season before you start this one: you will appreciate the characters so much more. :)

Honestly, Jung Il Woo didn't leave that great of an impression on me as a second lead in Take Care of The Young Lady, which I dropped. So I was hesitant to watch this but I thought - "Hey, what the hell. The cast is a bunch of hot guys, so at least if the drama sucked I'd come out of it with something." LOL. Of course, it turned out better than I thought. WAY better.

I won't reveal anything about the story because it's better to keep guessing but I absolutely loved the cast and how you could feel the actual bonds that exist between them. And I'm not just talking about the main leads, even the other pretty boys, swan lady, the teacher and the gym teacher were all an awesome combination.

What I loved about this drama is it kept the comedy flow steady even when it got a bit melodramatic at times (and they would break the tension with the most random of comments) because most romcom k-dramas tend to become depressing and serious somewhere in the middle.
If you're depressed and you feel like lightening up a little, this is the perfect way to do it.

P.S.: You will never look at crap and public bathrooms the same way again after this ! XD

Three more episodes and I would've at least finished this, but the prospect of three more hours of this torture was driving me crazy.

When I started watching the drama, I had a lot of expectations. My best friend is a baseball fanatic and it kind of rubbed into me; so I was pretty excited at the beginning solely because of the baseball factor. If you were hoping for some baseball action, then forget it.

You're in for a borderline ridiculous plot about revenge and the strong hold of the past on these characters' lives, really bad acting, non-existant chemistry between the two main leads, extremely evil and insane cut-board characters (stereotypical), and a great dosage of lameness in between. LAME. SILLY. This is what this drama is.

Don't watch it if you don't want to waste your time. I wish I could take all the time I spent on this back. >:O

--Note: this review contains minor spoilers--

If I had to describe Man of Honor in one word it would be disappointing, because disappoint it will. The story was supposed to be about a nurse and a baseball player who find love in their journey. This was EXTREMELY misleading. Yun Jae In (Park Min Young) was a nurse in training, and Kim Young Kwang (Chun Jung Myung) was a washed up baseball player with one successful game in his career, for about two episodes (and one more after being absent for 20 episodes). The remainder of the series mainly deals with faux-cest and revenge. The story was very makjang driven and unstable. It seemed like the writer didn't really know where he was going with the story, which made it feel unfinished towards the end.

Despite these flaws, Man of Honor was fairly enjoyable until midway through, after about episode 12, the story went on an unsalvageable downward spiral.

While the main problem lies within the writing, the acting was also poor. There was a lot of overacting, and Park Min Young looked as though she had a mental illness when she smiled widely for minutes on end.

Overall, this is not a drama that I would recommend, and it is longer than the average of 16 episodes (this one totals 24). There are many good to outstanding dramas out there that can be substituted for this much inferior one.

When I first read the summary of this drama I expected it to be a rather lame waste of time. I'm not really into superheros or comic books and that seemed to be what this drama was about, so I wasn't expecting much. But OMG!!! It was SOOO much better then I expected. True it was a bit comicbook-y and I didn't really like Bem, Bela and Belo's other forms, but then again, I wasn't supposed to. This drama is an amazing mix of mystery/adventure I loved each case and the overall question, how do they become human? The ending was a bit of a surprise but I thought it was good as well. (But I cried sooo much) Bem is definitely my favorite character. I loved the whole good against evil thing, absolutely fantastic! Overall, great and I would totally recommend this to anyone who likes more action and adventure. For romantic comedy likers, look elsewhere. There is a bit of comedy but it takes a backseat to the overall story. Personally, I think this drama is one of my all time favs, if not my number 1 drama.
