i LOVE this MOVIE... especially Joon-Soo ^^

the baby was really cute :) LOVE IT...

Kim Byeol, was really smart, i adore her...
i hate Joon-Soo "friend" because he choose to give up than to raised his on child...

however (don't mind that guy) ^^ peace ^^
...
Joon-Soo give all his best to fullfil his responsibilities even though he don't really have to!!! (because Han Woo ram is not his child) but inspite that... he accept Woo ram as his own child and sacrifies all what he have for the sake of Woo Ram...

"and i adore him for that..thumbs up (he's cool even he has a baby or not ^^)"

in the end...

Joon Soo ran towards the airport to get Woo Ram and the best friend reunited, the baby is back and lastly Kim Byeol kiss Joon-Soo and he likes it

(^_^) thank you (^_^)

This was a drama that I had originally dropped a few years ago after about 2 or 3 episodes and gave score of only 4. I even skipped to the end and watched the final, but it really bugged me that I didn't really KNOW the story. I am writing this after just watching the last episode and WOW just WOW. YES it was long and hard to get through sometimes the main female lead said "I'm Sorry" so many times I wanted to smack her.
They made her character so "blah" that by the time she gains a little backbone you don't care and hardly notice.


I have never watched a drama that kept me saying "What the heck could happen after X, Y and Z!" and yet something always did. I spent many a late night telling myself just one more part then i'll go to bed just one more! There were times when I said, ok they could end this now and I would be happy or yeah they can't do any more to these people lets end it now. One crazy thing is that I feel they could have added a few more episodes to close a few gaps they had to give the story full closure.


I would never re-watch this so I can't give it a 10 but I don't feel it was a waste to watch,
If you really don't think you could handle watching such a long series watch about 10 episodes every two weeks (but if your like me you will be hooked after 10) The main male lead Kim Tae Hyun (I find his name as Jin Tae Huyn as well ) should have gotten a Grand Bell (even though it's for movies) I don't know why he doesn't appear as the lead in more dramas this man has talent you notice the growth and development of this character!


The music wore on my nerves, 159 times hearing the same song not a surprise there were other "tunes" but the main song they played just didn't move or reach me it just had the emotional sound to tie with the drama. Overall I gave it an 8 because some of the characters and subplots were just not to my cup of tea. I would watch another drama by the writer(s) if i haven't already, though at this moment I don't think I could handle another one this long.

Black & White was not on my “got to watch anytime soon” list just because it’s not a genre I'm really interested in. I even dropped it the first time after watching 3 episodes because I got bored. After picking it back up again and actually completing it I have to say it is the most unpredictable Taiwanese drama I’ve seen!

Story- Funny, suspenseful, dramatic, action packed. That’s a lot for a drama to take on but this one managed to pull it off. The plot for me was a little slow for the first 4 episodes but then it started to pick up. About half way is when the plot really started to thicken and I could not stop watching. There were something’s I had a problem with though. One was the twist having to do with both our male leads. It got twisted and it got overused. By the time the truth came out I just rolled my eyes cause I was so over it. Another thing I didn’t like was how they wrote the love lines. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a drama that had 5 people who were connected that had a one sided love. Seriously the love lines get twisted every which way even till the end. Okay, I wouldn’t have had such a problem with this if it weren’t for the fact there was no payoff in the end. Small Spoiler: That’s right no one ends up with anyone! I felt the writers pulled my heartstrings all the way through only to be let down in the end. I know this is not a romance drama but if you’re going to write it in there, it shouldn’t be used to tease the audience, just saying…
Other than that the ending is kind of open with some loose ends and new revelations. Another thing is be ready for a ton of deaths, betrayal, good guys turning bad vise versa throughout the entire drama. Like I said this drama is really unpredictable.

Acting/Cast- From the big players to the supporting characters everyone fit their parts perfectly. Newbie Mark Chao was really impressive, this being his first role and all. He was able to keep up with Vic and in some scenes even out-shined him in my opinion. Speaking of Vic, this role was definitely a change from other stuff Ive seen him in. He has had a lot of growth. I liked Ivy Chen’s character in the beginning but then she began to annoy me with her selfish/wishy-washiness. Janine Chang played my favorite character, who was quite underused. Her character was awesome but I felt bad for her in the end.

Music- Loved the score really fit and heightened scenes. The OST was good but nothing I'm interested in listening to outside the show.

Rewatch- This is rewatchable but I cant say I’m interested just because I wasn’t completely satisfied with how some things developed.

Overall Black and White is entertaining and at times addicting. I just can’t say I thoroughly enjoyed it to the point I’d give it such a high score.

WILD ROMANCE ^^

for me this story was really great...
first i wonder who is the real stalker... and everytime i finished each part... i'm so eager to find who is it... the love story of Moo Yul and Eun Jae was funny... a strong girl who fell in love with a childish baseball player... and when the story gets tough... i can't help myself to stand still... (because i love it) the story end but i want more... if i can add something in the story... i think more cheezzy part... hehehe... (^_^) that's all thank you :) by the way i love the ("detective conan parts") and the love story of Kim Dong Ah and Kim Tae Han... ^^ LOVE IT

So, I like to write reviews just after finishing a series and I finished Maou today. I'm not really into crime dramas, so I was first a little skeptical about the series. Also, my only experience of Ikuta Toma is from Hana Kimi and I really couldn't picture him in a serious role.

However, Maou was good. I'm not Christian and I despise religions, but I found the aspect of Christianity good in this story... If you can even say it had that kind of an aspect. Ikuta Toma was great, although a little stereotypical with his role. I don't remember him doing much else than running in slow motion and yelling dramatic, bold lines. Ohno Satoshi, however, was absolutely brilliant as the Devilish lawyer, and it's mostly because of him that I got hooked up. The music was excellent too, the opening song especially.

It's a good, exciting and fun watch, but sadly nothing mind-blowing. I might be a little picky with dramas, but having seen so many clichés this drama kind of gave me, in the end, the already-been-there-and-done-that feeling. What's really good, though, was the fact that it was unpredictable in most episodes. How it was all done, was not unpredictable and kind of left me hoping for something more. All in all, though, it's a good drama and worth watching!

This was one of the first dramas I tried to watch, and I'd heard a lot of good things about it. But to be honest, I REALLY didn't enjoy it then. That was at the time when I really knew nothing at all about Korean artists. I couldn't even tell the difference between them.
After some time, though, I became more familiar with the Asian drama concept, so I tried to re-watch a lot of shows I disliked before. This was one of those. But after knowing a lot more about it, it was suddenly SO funny and cute! The acting was so good, I couldn't believe it! It was actually surprising at some points.
The story was amazing! The only reason I didn't give it a full score, is because of the unnecessary scenes that makes you want to keep watching it as if it never happened.
The cast really did their job, and each actor fit their character so perfectly it was scary! I especially like the way they use facial expressions and gestures. But I can't really give a full score here, either, because I do want to replace some of them, for some reason.
Music is exactly what you'd expect from such a cast. But I love the fact that they're sung by the cast, and how it personalizes everything very deeply. And the music really carry out the emotions needed.
I don't think I would re-watch this in the nearest future. Not because it was bad, but because I wouldn't be able to forget the whole story that quickly. Rather than the low re-watch value score being something negative, think of it as positive.
Overall: This is definitely one of the best dramas I've ever seen. When I'm an adult with kids, I'm going to keep the whole show on a DVD or anything, and when the kids are old enough, I'll make them watch this. Because it really does carry a very important moral that is hard to teach. I loved it very much.

Material Queen leads me here. I will say, it has been 4th times of repeat watching Autumn's Concerto. I just loved Vaness Wu acting, his mischief look brings out the bad boy character so well, yet a kind and romantic person. Haha... how come I never notice you on Meteor Garden, could it be your mature that make the perfect you. Ally Chang is great too. Both chemistry are nonetheless like a real couple not to leave out Small Small Ping. The three character brings out the whole drama perfectly. Vaness Wu, please make more dramas..... will be great to watch you in action and romance drama this time ya....

This movie gave me butterflies in my stomach, which is kind of rare in romantic dramas and movies nowadays.

While the story is more of a "slow burn" in romance, the chemistry between the actors is STRONG and gives the film its intensity. The Holly Golightly-type heroine is slightly more vulnerable than you’d expect, which makes her more likable as you watch the film than maybe you would on paper. Definitely watch for Liu Ye’s discreet facial expressions of a reserved man who has fallen head-over-heels in love and desperately trying to hide it.

This film seems like two movies in one, but they both seem like such great stories, that you don't feel too much disconnect once the first set of plot points are completely abandoned. Very rewatchable.

After thoroughly enjoying Death Bell I had slightly lower expectations for Death Bell 2 simply from previous experiences with sequels (especially horror sequels). However I needn't have worried because this film is just as good as the first one.

It took quite a long time for the killing spree to start but no second leading up to it was wasted. This film had a brilliant story behind the horror and whilst most horror films are more sadism than substance, Death Bell 2 had a great balance of both. In fact, the deaths were so imaginative and disturbing I hope never to meet the writers behind the script!

I was interested in seeing Ji Yeon in a horror role after only seeing her as catty Rian in Dream High 2. I expected her to be ok but she surpassed my expectations. She had the same shy, slightly twitchy yet 'tower of strength' personality I loved in Nam Gyu Ri's character from Death Bell 1 whilst being completely different, and most of the boys were easy on the eyes (the ones who managed to stay alive long enough to get a good look at anyhow).

The music's hard to comment on as the film was so intense I barely noticed it and the most effective scenes were the killing ones where silence or indescribable music boosted the scary atmosphere. The music I did notice at the beginning though was great for setting the scene.

Overall the film isn't too gory (although there's a lot of blood) and not that scary so if you're a human jelly, like me, then you won't need to find anything to hide behind before you watch. I've given Death Bell 2 a rewatch value of 8 just because I feel once you've worked out who's behind the killings and who's going to be killed, the element of surprise might be lost and make rewatching less enjoyable (but am going to rewatch anyway!)

A great film!

At first the story seemed interesting and unique, but as time passed the plot became weaker and weaker. It was definitely over-dramatic for my taste.
I like heavy themes and different situations, but this drama was mediocre in my opinion. The plot was predictable, the acting was average, and the characters were not believable. The last two episodes tried to operate with character-development, but that was too late. The only reason I could watch it till the end was Haru, for she was well portrayed. Other than her I was extremely irritated by Miwa-chan and her mother. I can't think of any other characters in dramas that had the same effect on me (that is shouting out loud whenever they did something stupid; and trust me, they frequently did).
I guess the show would've gotten a 6 from me if there were no Miwa-chan.

this should have been a 4.4 but i rounded up.

I wont say I wasted my time watching the Naked Kitchen because Joo Ji Hoon is hot and the number of times you get to see him topless well makes up for the movie not making sense. Now on to the movie review.
I would first like to poo poo anyone who told me that this was a great watch. It’s a hot watch but the whole movie makes no sense. In the short time span of the movie they attempted to squeeze in too many concepts and did not develop any of them. There was no character growth and instead of the plot progressing forward, more issues were added. I didn’t like how there was no sense of time, you had no idea how much time was passing throughout the film. I also didn’t like how things were not implicitly stated, i.e. Mo-Rae’s final decision. To make things even more complicated, some concepts just didn’t seem too add up. (i.e. if you are going into a gallery to buy something, why would you sneak in? you cant buy anything if the gallery is closed!)

In the end I liked the acting, I liked Ji Hoon topless, I liked Ji Hoon singing (awesome!!), and I thought they had pretty colors and great scenery. I really felt like I was watching a poorly constructed indy film with a great budget. There were so many loose ends left in the story at the end but I really don’t care. I couldn’t feel invested in the characters because they were not written to follow logical or common behavioral patterns, meaning I couldn’t even fathom relating to them. Still to be honest I cant blame Mo-Rae for cheating because if I haven’t mentioned it yet Ji Hoon is hot!!
