Still going through my N. Ryo phase so naturally I came across Joker. And all through the show the word Amazing seemed to fit just right. The storyline, the flow...the characters...the detectives...the mourning relatives...the actual BRUTALITY of the crime...It was all very well done.



Right off the bat I was enticed by the disclaimer,



"This drama is fictional. All resemblances to actual people, places or events are purely coincidental. Or you may choose to take this as purely a made up story or try to grasp an understanding of the darkness these days."



A simple but perfect set up for how brutal each episode is, not just the individual crimes but the overlaying story. Most drama's make a scene just brutal in its initial appearance. In Joker, where the first look at the murder victims might not be all that horrible, as they are carefully investigated you develop a deeper conviction that what they get - even though its not legal - is what they deserve. (Sort of brings out the worst in all of us, maybe.)



The cast is amazing. There's humor that fits in well with each characters lives, there's drama, and realistically dark content. If your not a seasoned murder detective drama watcher, you might get a little queasy. So be careful.



Finally I would like to make a point to say that, where this drama isn't unpredictable it does a great job at making you want to contradict your initial theories. Towards the end you will know what's coming BUT you will constantly try to talk yourself out of it.



So..."You want murder, destruction and revenge all tied in with remarkable characters and the barest traces of humor? Well, by golly, you've found your drama.. "

This is gonna be my all-time-favorite Drama.

I enjoyed every episode. There were just 2 episode that were a little bit boring but the rest was absolutely awesome. The acting, OST, storyline, chemistry, everything was flawless.

The performances of the kids were great. It's hard to believe that this was Kang Chan Hee's debut (young Dong Joo). He was so natural in his acting.

I was surprised by Hwang Jung Eum. This actress would be a major reason to not watch this show. But I am glad that I decided to watch this. I really hated her in "Giant". Her acting was so annoying (facial expression, speech, everything). But that was not the case with "Can you hear my heart". She portrayed Bong Woo Ri well, so that I forgot that she is an actress I actually can't stand. She was so funny and adorable.



The bromance in this drama was funny. Kim Jae Won and Nam Goong Min sure have a great chemistry. I loved their relationship.

There are usually at least one character that I dislike in a Drama, because this character is annoying or whatever. But that's not the case here. Each character was well portrayed and you could see that each character was well developed.

This is indeed a masterpiece that I recommend to everyone who wants to watch a Drama which has a plot with a deep meaning.

From Episodes 1 through 12, I had thought I had found the perfect drama: chemistry between the main characters, an endearing cast, not too many heart-wrenching/ head-banging/ IHATETHISIHATETHISIHATETHIS moments and a great soundtrack. After those episodes, however, I felt that what pulled me to the drama grew weaker and weaker. The conflicts that arose were quickly resolved in the following scene; thus, the sweet moments were not as refreshing as they are in dramas where the characters have overcome a lot more.



Despite the slightly pallid storyline, the cast played their characters in the best way they could. Lee Gyu Won (Park Shin Hye) was an endearing but not over-the-top female lead that I feel most girls could relate to. Lee Shin (Jung Yong Hwa) was the same way. Their chemistry is unmistakable. The supporting cast was also very good. I just feel that if the storyline had been a bit better, more of the supporting characters could be explored and they would seem less one-dimensional.



As for the music-- I can't get it out of my head. The song choices are great and the cast is very musically talented.



I would rewatch this drama simply for the cute moments. Sadly, though, I can't say that it pulled very hard on my heartstrings (excuse the pun; I couldn't help it). Sweet moments are made sweeter when a long and difficult conflict had come before them.

I'm going to throw myself out on a limb here and say, YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY WATCH THIS DRAMA! There is no doubt in my mind that despite this Drama is currently ongoing, this is quite possibly the best Drama i have ever watched. I even watched the RAWS to just feed my obsessive love for this Drama and still they do not suffice, i I WANT MORE!



Park Shi Hoo's performance in this is absolutely stunning. Words cannot begin to formulate how well he plays his role. At first i watched it as i would a normal Drama...check out the first episode see how things go from there; and as soon as i watched the first 20 minutes...i was captivated. Some may say i am overreacting, that it is not as good as i make out. Well, it's a matter of opinion at the end of the day, and me being ESPECIALLY fond of historical Drama's, find this to be an extremely grand surprise.



Anyone who is considering on watching "The Princess' Man", what is there to consider about? GO NOW! Watch. Enjoy.

So I had really high expectations for this drama, since everyone spoke so highly of it. To be honest, it disappointed me a little. I wasn't completely captivated by seeing the first one, two or even third episode. I kept watching because it did caught me attention, it just wasn't my first priority. But this DID change! When I came across episode 7 or 8, the story became interesting and I was aching to know what was coming next. The last 4 episodes really kept me watching, but the overall ending disappointed me. It kind of reminded me of the movie Inception, in the end, Dom spins a toll and you want to know if it's real or not. That kind of endings really annoy me. Overall, I would give it a 9/10, and I'll tell you why:



The story was really good, I haven't read the original manga, but from the description of it, I guess there was a lot of change in it. Not only the setting, but also the relationships between the characters. I think this story was made for adults, rather than teens, and that hit the right spot. The links in the story came together as the drama progressed, it really came out great. 9/10



The cast was also good, I really liked Park Min Young and fell in love with Lee Min Ho, he's so handsome ;) I also really felt for Prosecuter Kim Young Joo (Lee Joon Hyuk). Because their acting was really good, the watcher feels the characters and experience the story with them. 10/10



The music, that's a different story. I liked the music, that's not the point, but I often felt the music was misplaced. Really, really often. Their were instrumentals used for suspense, but there was no action. There were also songs that were played with - this is how I feel - the wrong lyrics. Some of the songs were nice, other weren't. I have mixed feelings about the OST, but it went on my iPod anyway. I really do like Suddenly, by Kim Bo Kyung. Overall: 6/10.



I don't like re-watching, let me make this clear, but this drama, I would re-watch. Not for my own fun, but when a friends would ask me to watch City Hunter with him/ her, I would say 'Yes'. I do think you would be bothered by things you already know, but I always have that feeling, so yeah. 7/10.



Overall, I would give it a 9/10. Because I really enjoyed watching and that's the main thing. Enjoy!

Going into this I had no expectations and this was my first time watching anything with the leads...

Story- Predictable yet so engaging that you won't want to stop watching by the end of it. The cooking theme was done so well that even though you watch them do the same things every day it is fascinating and not repetitive. The romance was perfectly done because it wasn't so intense/messy but it wasn't simple/without conflict.

Acting/Cast- The leads are known to be amazing actors already but they were perfectly casted because of their amazing chemistry. I fell in love with the entire supporting cast.

Music- The first time I watched this I didn't notice the OST but the second time I watched it I downloaded all the songs to my Ipod. I listen to the songs all the time now.

Rewatch- Already watched it twice in the same year and I'll continue to do so.

Overall Pasta gives no surprises but it really is fascinating and with the awesome cast and OST it really is the whole package.

The story started off with a bang from the first ep. However, soon after it became a bi polar drama. Its suppose to be a light romance/ comedy but it had episodes that felt like I was watching a melodrama. There were many times I felt confused by the plot or should I say lack there of. As each episode past by I found myself saying okay maybe in the next ep conflict will arise and something big is going to happen. But nothing really happened. They had so many great characters that could have been used to make the plot more interesting but its like the writers brains went blank the entire drama.

The entire cast fit in thier roles well and they all meshed well together. PSH showed off her excellent skills as always. Young Hwa did okay enough with his role but I think if the script was better he could have shown off more of his personality. I feel like his character was one dimensional. Min Hyuk was love. He really outshined his CN Blue buddy. The actor that plays Ki Young is soo talented and I wished he had a larger role within the drama instead of 2 lines per ep.

The OST and score is brilliant. So fresh with the mix of traditional and rock. I also liked FT Islands song that is featured.

There is a great chance Id watch this again because I love the cast and music but im not really in a hurry.

Overall, the drama is a big disappointment story/plot wise but the characters and music will help get you through it.

Yoon Jae has being half living all her life. Waiting always for tomorrow. But one day, she receives a death note, and that day, she decides that she will live her life her way, without regrets or looking back. Ji Wook is living his life the way his father wants, and he is the man that she decides to fall in love with, and with a little help from above they meet and everything can happen.

The premise "I want to live even when I am dying" is a cliché, in this drama, the intensity of that feeling is powerful. I fall in love with this drama because of the emotion portrayed by every character and how they make me feel. I laugh; I cry and even ask myself why this thing happens, because in real life they happen. I specially love the music and the tango scenes, they are superb! Can't wait for the other episodes!!
