I really loved this drama!
My friends strongly recommended this to me, but I was hesitant because I had too many expectation with everybody saying that it was awesome.
Well. It WAS!
I watched City Hunter some time ago and this drama resembles that: love story, action, good character, same girl (lucky girl!!!).
The OST is beautiful, I downloaded it and every time I listen to that I start to remember the drama!
The plot is good, Ji Chang Wook is pretty much perfection in this drama (and you can watch it just for the shirtless scene!).
I strongly recommend it, one of the best I've seen so far!

I only picked up this drama because i noticed it was all out and was available on Viki. I hadn't even heard of the two leads before this drama. I was pleasantly surprised that this ended up becoming my new favorite drama.

Music: The OST was amazing! One of the best I've ever come across in the K drama world. There were plenty of hidden gems in the show. For example, I currently have We still have time by Tearliner on repeat, since i completed the drama.

Acting: I fell in love with the main couple from the first episode! I felt the actors did a really great job selling their love on screen. I don't see how anyone who completes the show won't also end up falling in love with Ko Yi Seok as well!

Plot: I really loved the overall plot of the show. The best thing about it to me was how believable it was. At least for me, I found the story line to be refreshing.

omoo...omoo...oh my god so wonderful!!!**** First and foremost.

Question? Why do we love dramas soooo much? Is it to escape into some fantasy world where the rich guy gets the poor girl or you fall in love with a alien. hmmmm or something more serious and melodramatic where a main character seems doomed from the beginning.

I ask only because this drama twisted my emotions but not out of fantasy, time travel, or outrageous plots. This drama gave me an escape into LIFE, Living life as we do day to day, what is important to you???? This drama tells of one family's up's and down so there starts the journey. I honestly did not know what to expect because the synopsis was too revealing and the first half of the drama I wasn't seeing anything but I just kept an open mind and watched all the characters develop and that was the point. You got to know and understand each character, granted you may love some more than others and some did annoy me more than others, but isn't that life. We are ALL only human..

Lastly, its amazing how this drama made me want to shout with glee to my parents and siblings and tell them how much they mean to me.....now isnt that a good enough recommendation to watch this!

Wow... where should I start. This is my favorite drama so far. It's so underrated though.. It's really sad that this drama doesn't get much attention as it should get for its quality. The soundtrack is good, the cast is great and I loved it! Kept getting goosebumps and pain in my heart while watching this..

Even now when I listen to the soundtrack it makes me cramp up in my heart :(

The story was so touching and somewhat different to the normal standard love story dramas.

I just want to point out that this drama is soo great and I recommend everyone to watch this drama, even if you think this drama is boring! :D

This is the drama, that got me hooked and pushed me into the big abyss of drama-world that you never emerge from again...

It is not only a great sports-drama, but overall very good.
It is a serious drama unlike the usual goofy J-drama-style, but never tragic or anything like that.
It portrays even some sites of women that are not cliché.
The acting is great, too, and this one scene... man oh man, the guy even forgot to take off his shoes! :D
(not gonna spoil it)
The OST is awesome (and I am not a huge fan of J-Pop and stuff like that).

If I had any critique, it would be the unrealistic setting of the main characters at the end (which happens often in dramas, like seriously - as if they didn't have mobiles and skype and whatever...).

The ending is a good one, though, so no worries about being unsatisfied.

Just go for it! I think I will rewatch it now, too :)

It's a bird? It's a plane? No, it is a drama featuring a love story that a modern woman can enjoy with minor frustration.

Why?

1. The chaebol's money didnt do much for the leading lady. The money only provided a chance for us to enjoy the eye candy of luxurious surroundings. Love Cha Dong Hyeon's house!! His grandma's house is an overkill. Plus do they really need that many servants bowing to them. There's only 2 people living in that house.

Please writers no more of this sh*&. Most rich people are very cheap & greedy - that's how they accumulate that wealth.

2. Leading Man has mucho psycho problems due to previous generation's wrongdoing (psss - money is root for evil.) Leading woman who is a psychiatrist felt sorry for the dude & CHOSE to help him & show him that humble life is the happy life. Yay!

During my 2nd rewatch - Only miss is that leading woman was too docile in the relationship - he always got choose whether to take her or not. Wish there was a little push & pull that Master's Sun does have.
Aside from irresistible good looks - wanted to see more other qualities that makes the leading woman fall for him other than sympathy or childhood connection.

Ji Sung is a great actor - but somehow I am not convince that Cha Do Hyeon really fell for Oh Ri Jin. They should've show more of her abilities/appeal!

That's all folks. I am off to rewatch more Kill Me Heal Me!

Hm... how should I word this....

I'm not going to say it's the best drama ever. I'm not going to say that nothing else will ever be able to compare to it. But I will say this: I certainly won't forget it.

A lot of kdramas have this otherworldly feel to them. More often that not they've got these fantastic storylines and plot twists, and though I can easily relate to the characters in those situations it's just...not the same as with It's Okay, That's Love. There's something about this drama which is really REAL. There's no big-short CEOs or vindictive mothers or Cinderella stories. It's just genuine.

The Plot:
- Really develops into something I never realised would happen
- It's believable
- It ropes you in

The Characters:
- Are very easy to relate to
- There's no-one who felt two-dimensional
- Each one of them is interesting in their own unique way making them a joy to watch as the plot unfolds!
- They grow!

The Music:
- Isn't the greatest but it matches the moods very well
- There's quite a range of different songs (I'm pretty sure a few of them were sung completely in English)

Rewatch Value:
- Hm...I probably would rewatch it in a year or two.
- I personally don't often like rewatching things too recently and with this drama in particular what mattered the most to me was knowing where all the characters ended up. I know that now, so I need a bit of time to let it all fade somewhat! I'm sure it'll make me laugh to remember where they all were and what they all were like right at the start though.

So WATCH IT!!!!!!!

Honestly I dragged this drama out far too long and I regret that - I kept getting distracted by newer, sparkly dramas... However I will certainly never forget this little jewel no matter how long it took me to complete it.

Time travel! The first episodes aren't that great and very typical of the standard rom-com but persevere because this is one of the most romantic and intelligent dramas I've ever seen. This may be the first drama I've seen that doesn't have major plot holes in it. I like the intelligence and logic of the storyline and the characters. I especially like that the drama does not and I mean really does not ever drag. It's extremely solid.
The fun really starts when Bong Do gets the hang of how the talisman works.
I'd also like to mention that in most Korean dramas the character development is really a big thing. And I really appreciate that. However, Queen in Hyun's Man doesn't have that. The immature ex-boyfriend continues to be the immature ex-boyfriend. I don't mind. It makes this drama different from others.

Bung Do
I first saw Ji Hyun Woo (actor) in Angry Mom so it was hard to get over that personality. I was happy to see different facial expressions as he portrayed Bung Do. He's actually more hotter when he doesn't smile.
I like how he looks at Hui Jin. You can see how much he likes her.
Bung Do has got a lot of talents. He's a scholar, a fighter, and a quick learner. Mastering the modern world isn't that difficult for him.
I love how aware he is of his presence in Hui Jin's world and he wants to assimilate well so that he doesn't disrupt her life or embarrass her.
“I can't keep doing silly things that will be a nuisance to you.”

Hui Jin
I like that she's good at her job. And she doesn't take long to put her ex-boyfriend in his place.
The main thing that I like about this heroine is that she is consistent with her personality. She doesn't change because of her man and she doesn't have to learn a whole lot in life. I suppose some would call that lack of character development. But sometimes it's nice not to “learn a lesson” when watching a drama and just go along for the ride with a heroine who doesn't have major flaws that need to be corrected. She's okay from start to finish. Confident, flirty, and mischievous.
She has a lot of attitude that's satisfying. She has a bit of conceit to her that remains throughout the drama and I liked that.

Romance
“Selling that relic wasn't so dumb after all.” ~ Bung Do

There is lots of kisssssssing!!!!
This drama was really effective in convincing me of Hui Jin and Bung Do's epic romance in a short space of time. The music also was definitely a draw card with that ancient Korean style. Gah! Too good. I like that they are always so happy and relieved to see each other.
They get along pretty quick too. I like their boy-meets-girl, star-crossed lovers romance.
Because Bung Do appears and disappears, it makes for a bit of anticipation for the plot and for both of them when they finally get to see each other.
It's really cute as Hui Jin shows Bung Do how the modern world works and Bong Do's look of awe and fascination is adorable. Their relationship is one of equality. I love it! For example, Bung Do doesn't mind using the cute card and Hui Jin knows how to put aside her emotions to deal with things practically. She also steals kisses all the time which is so adorable and I was pleased to see the girl power.
They can tease each other and they have lots of fun together.
The way Bung Do cares for Hui Jin and her feelings is really touching and beautiful. He is chivalrous and noble without being a martyr about it.

Su Gyeong – best friend
She was really boring. But if she is the substitute for annoying elders, then fine. Actually, the first time she said she was like Hui Jin's parents, that was the first time I started liking her.
Also how hilarious was that continuing joke with her interrogations of Bung Do?

What's unique about this lakorn is that the guy is forced to marry the girl in order to pay off his family debt and save his family's honor. It's usually the other way around. The supporting characters are great. The Cupid Gang makes a really cute team, especially with how they hang out and take care of Kat like good friends. I also liked how there weren't any cat fights and annoying, screaming girls who chase after the main guy. King, the only girl clinging to him, isn't even evil like how you typically see in lakorns.

I couldn't stand how Kat is childish and speaks like she is 7 years old for most of the drama. It's mainly due to her character arc to show that she becomes a mature woman by the end. However, it's hard to look past. Also, the plot in the beginning is a bit slow, since the main couple doesn't interact that much. Things start to get more interesting once the couple is forced to deal with each other. Overall, the lakorn was pretty decent, especially if you were looking for something a bit different to watch within the forced marriage trope.

"Because it' the first time" is such a fresh and sweet drama.

I watch it at first without expectations but at the en dof the first episode I was already so into it !!

What I reaaaaaallly liked is that their each character' feelings seems obvious but so understandable and it makes them really human. They think they know, but they don't really know. It was shaking and I really felt touched by their youth and love. Untill the end I was not so sure of each person choice!

It's short but worth it.

I leughed a lot and even shed some tears but it really left me with a nice feeling and a babo smile :)

PLEASE WATCH THIS ONE! ... I have picked this only because it was short. No alternative motives, just a random pick. I do not regret it. Although it's designed for younger audience I truly enjoyed the plot of the story. Magic was involved and to be honest with you, couple times it gave me goosebumps. Some moments were funny too at the beginning, but mostly it's a sadder drama dealing with serious issues - I even cried at moments because the story moved me so much. I truly enjoyed this short drama because of its serious yet powerful message. The cast was not only cute but acted well and there was a cute chemistry between the couples. The uncle made me laugh from time to time there was also sad moments that made me think deep. I marathoned the whole thing in one shot and I have not regret it..... by the way, this drama is available on Dramacool and the only thing that should have been improved on was the message at the end.
