There was never a dull moment in any episode. I think I even watched 6 episodes in one sitting. That is how good it was. I never knew who Ji Chang Wook was until I watched this drama, I was impressed with his acting and I love how he becomes the confident Healer. How the story unfolded was just right. It did not drag at all. The romance factor was realistic, none of this rich and poor girl/guy thing. It is a breath of fresh air from the other Korean dramas that I have seen. Now, this is worth watching, compared to that dumb Heirs that I just watched (yep I am still mad!).

Warrior baek dong soo -
Why I like it to write a cute ( !!! ) review........ :)

The facts I like most :-
1) Friendship :- one between baek dong soo - Yeo woon and another between their respective master - gwan tae gae and assasin Chun (choi min soo - i'm his fan ) Other people known them as enemy , but reality tells they are best friend , always care for each other.

2) Action - just amazing. How one handed swordmaster- gwan tae gae fight with a piece of wood, how yeo woon fight with 2 sword, Dong soo's 1 sword fighting Jin ju's archery skill. I swear you have to rewatch Woon 's martial art skill by rewinding.

3) OSTs of the drama - are just mind blowing, you can't stop singing while playing.

4) FAV moments I rewatch :
- Gwan tae - Ji's sword-fighting
-Gan tae gae- Chun's fighting
- Chun's death scene with Jin ju (I see his true smile 1st time)
- Dong soo-Woon 's FIELD walking (ep- 28)
- Woon's death (most heartbreaking scene in kdrama history 4 me)
- Dong soo- Jin ju's Bandage moment (best romantic moment to me )

The facts I dislike most -
- Yang cho rip's cowardness , I hate dialouges he told to Woon in last ep, (hope he also died in drama)
- romance between dong soo- jin su ( jin su look like plastic,no expression - hate her)
-Woon's unrequited love for jin su ( cause eye-pain to me)
-Dong soo's blind eye to Jin Ju's love
- one of the villains come again & again to screen when I thought AHH he died, how come he every time escape death ( forget his name)

I like Yoo Seung Hoo , so I watch it . Though I cried alot for him . but it worths watching how my little crush acts, and takes places in every viewer's heart . That's our Yoo-Hoo :) :) love you forever.

Watching this drama, I felt a lot of western influences. For me "western values" are a lot more lax than "asian values." So when this drama put forward the prospect, of one night stands, drinking a whole lot to fuel social situations, and kissing more than one partner - it was a refreshing take, because these values are something I seldom encounter in asian dramas. Usually, the first guy the girl kisses, is the one she ends up with "forever" which hasn't always been realistic, in my view. You have to kiss a few frogs to get to the prince! Not get him on your first try!

This drama had a whole block of realism, but I wouldn't say it's deep or heavy in any regard. On the whole, it's light, breezy and follows a girl's life, as she deals with an ex, a guy she is pretending is her fiance, HER REAL BF, and then those cursed in-laws that seem determined to ruin your life at every turn. There are a lot of memorable scenes in this drama, like Jang Mi wading into the pool and running away in a bridal dress to a beach etc etc.

It's a great drama!

However, I felt some of the supporting cast were not as developed as they could've been. Some of them were literally cardboard templates, but for the "light and breezy" theme it works. Also, this is more on a personal note, I'm not sure how I feel about the advertisement of plastic surgery in this drama. Some procedures can be done under 20 minutes, so it's shown on par of having your hair dyed or getting a pedicure done. For me, this settles in uneasily, because on a broader sense, it shows society is becoming more aesthetically driven, and soon, there will be peer pressure to get these procedures done.

Although I have no problems with plastic surgery per se, I would hate for that day to come, when someone says to me, "Hey, you have a deviated septum/ or a high widow's peak...have you thought about going under the knife? Everyone does it!" Because I think that's where society is heading. But oh well! Maybe it's just me, who needs to embrace the concept of "changing your face to suit the occasion, like one might change their socks everyday"... How old-fashioned am I! :)

I truly love this drama. This drama taught me many life lessons.The drama will bring tears along with happiness and I guarantee that you'll be satisfied after watching it. The main actress played her role so well and should be granted the BEST ACTRESS AWARD. She knows how to cry and make smile. Her decision with picking the two guys was tough and you'd have to watch to find out.
The girl has great chemistry with both actors but I prefer Eddie Peng just because he flirts more. I hope you all enjoy this wonder drama that you will learn more about human nature. It will be scary to know about how we humans think.

If you love a classic love story, a throwback to the old days of kdrama productions (ala Winter Sonata), My Love Eun Dong may be just what you're waiting for. It starts out with a lot of flashbacks but they are essential to set up the backstory. These are well produced and do not feel dragged out or slow paced.

Viewers will need to get used to connecting the three different versions of Hyun Soo/Eun Ho and Eun Dong/Jung Eun played by six different actors/actresses. I may be in the minority but I feel the Eun Dong played by Yoon So Hee is a tad different compared to the young Eun Dong played by Lee Ja In and the mature Eun Dong Kim Sa Rang, which threw me off slightly but not enough to detract from the main story.

I have no problem with Hyun Soo’s character. I could easily believe the transition from the teen Hyun Soo (Park Jin Young) to the adult Hyun Soo (Baek Soon Hyun) to the ultimate megastar Hyun Soo/Eun Ho (Joo Jin Mo).

Nonetheless, once you get past the fact that these are played by different actors/actresses, the love story is one that rivals Romeo and Juliet. This is a story of star crossed love and the journey of one man’s steadfast search for his one and only true love. He never gives up hope that he will find his Eun Dong one day despite the lost years and the absence of knowledge of her whereabouts and status; is she alive or dead? Is she married or single? It may seem impossible and coincidental but the Show succeeded in making me care and believe in Eun Ho's journey.

It wouldn’t be a makjang without your usual parade of unforgivable antagonists, betrayals, birth secret, amnesia and hateful in-laws. This show will make you cry, it will make you cringe, it will make you angry and it will even make you question the writer. But ultimately it is a great love story.

Kudos to all the casts for a great performance. All of them acted beautifully. Can’t say enough about the two leads. Kim Sa Rang and Joo Jin Mo ooze instant chemistry and make us root for them from the get go.

Unlike many kdramas, there isn’t any over the top acting throughout the entire show. It is tasteful and utterly believable. Kim Tae Hoon is fast becoming the man to hate in kdramas. His portrayal of crippled Choi Jae Ho is well done and despite being a hateful character, he shows us the many layers of a man struggling between right and wrong.

If you want to watch a romantic love story with a hopper full of twists and turns, this one is it. It is about enduring love, about two people finding each other despite decades separating them,

The OST blends in very nicely and this one is a definite rewatch if your heart can take it.

I decided to watch this because reviews were good, and since it was a slow, nice plot drama series I said why not one day and started episode 1. First couple episodes started slow, around 5th series drew me a little closer to "more like" zone and by episode 9, I found myself really liking the main male lead personality. His looks, actions were goofy, sometimes irritated me a little but his heart and approach to life was spectacular. The best for me was the younger brother - not only good acting, but also he kind of brought a lot of energy into the drama. I really liked him not only by his acting but also his personality as a character build into the plot. Overall it was a nice, pleasant watch. Nothing crazy, nothing outrageous, just a good drama. Perhaps not very memorable but it's really worth to watch it because it's family series full of love and how a simple heart can accomplish so much when it comes to feelings, forgiveness and love.

I really disliked this show. Sorry! I know it has loads of fans and I can see why it would, it's flashy and the actors are gorgeous, but I hated the storyline.

Basically the main actress shouts her way into having Stockholm Syndrome and falls in love with a guy who tried to have her sexually assaulted. He was jealous, controlling and vindictive and I just didn't get it.

The "But I changed him" thing doesn't work for me. I never saw the change, he's just beautiful.

I know that my main issue with this is not exactly this drama's fault, it is in the original manga, which I have also read in an attempt to understand the hype over this drama more. I also watched the J-drama version.

After all the tears and tantrums and chloroforming, I not only disliked the drama, but found it boring.

Maybe I would have liked this if it was the first K-drama I had ever watched to get me addicted, but it was actually the third after You From Another Star an Coffee Prince and comparatively, this was just terrible.

I did laugh ridiculously when "This must be Paaarrraaaadiiiiiiise" played out over Jun Pyo kicked the crap kicked out of him. Worst music choice ever for that moment.

This is just my opinion though, I can understand that there are elements that probably would draw in a captive audience, but for me the first few episodes made me irrevocably hate the male protagonist and that damage was never undone.

Send your brain on a marathon run before sitting down to this and you will have a great time.

I love both Gong Yoo and Gong Hyo Jin so I knew I absolutely had to watch this drama. Yes, it is a bit old now, but the storyline and acting is absolutely worth the watch. It has a great romance and it had elements that reminded me a bit of School 2013 and Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, both of which probably looked at this drama for a bit of inspiration.

Gong Yoo is just so adorable and you can't help but love him. Gong Hyo Jin as always does a fantastic job at making a real three-dimensional character come alive with layers and nuance.

This would be the drama I would recommend to people who have seen all the popular dramas out there and are looking for something good to sink into.

It isn't fluffy, but it isn't all over heavy either. It balances it's light and dark well and the romance keeps you coming back for more.

I would happily re-watch this a number of times and recommend it thoroughly.

The King of Dramas is underrated. Sure, it's not a 10/10 flawless drama, but how hard are they to find! Around the middle of the series I did get distracted by other dramas instead, I'll admit that, but I am so grateful that I stuck with it until the end. The King of Dramas is a sweet, moving, and rewarding show.


I'll start with what flaws come to mind first, as I'm a 'bad before the good' sort of person:

- First of all, if - like me -, you're often attracted to dramas for the romance you will be in for a wait. I was really surprised to discover that the actual romance in the King of Dramas doesn't actually properly kick off until around...episode 12/13, if I remember right. There was a lot of drama about...well, making dramas haha, which I started to get bored of without any sparks of proper romance in the air. (I'm partly to blame for that though, as I was getting impatient!)

- There are a few shallow characters, not many, but one or two. For example there's your rather stereotypical antagonist, out for revenge and all that. While (without getting into spoilers), there's also an old flame character who comes off as pretty tedious too. At first.



Now for the good stuff! ALL THOSE FLAWS AMEND THEMSELVES!

+ Though a late bloomer, when the romance does properly come to light it's unbearably - in all the right ways - sweet and full of giggles. And so natural too. The connection between the characters is deep, and so so SO worth the wait <3

+ All the characters find their places. The somewhat two-dimensional old flame becomes a delight to see on-screen, and though the straight-forward antagonist doesn't exactly 'amend' himself you see less and less of him. Plus, when he shows up again right near the end he gave me one final laugh. It was a nice way to send him off; as if the writer had reflected upon him, and decided to poke a joke with us.

+ Anthony Kim and Kang Hyun Min are very memorable characters, though drastically different. Hyun Min is an endless source of entertainment, while the brusque, driven Anthony really grew on me with all his admirable passion - and amusing pride.

+ The ending. Yep, it ends well! In my books at least I'm going to count it as a good one. It paid a lot of homage to the start of the series, and held a lot of satisfaction and reminiscence. Though the 'old flame' character felt a tad...rushed? I guess? (The acting there was a little uncomfortable.) It was nonetheless tied up very well. It was very rewarding.



So, at the end of the day, if you're debating whether or not you should watch it, JUST DO IT! The characters are memorable, the story full of determination and passion, while as a whole it was very satisfying. It's not the best drama, to be sure - no Healer! - but by no means should that be reason to not give it a little faith and patience.

I've literally just finished watching it with a big grin on my face and a heart with no regrets.

This drama is exactly what it's name says; "warm and cozy". It just gives you the fluffy feeling inside to keep continue and watch. The story is unique on it's own way and scenery is just fantastic. What I like about the male lead is that even though he seems your typical chaebol character, from the start he's actually caring and gentle. In most dramas chaebols are usually cold from the start and when the story goes on, only then they learn to be more gentle. In this drama male lead is just so overly cute and Yoo Yun Suk is just perfect in this role. Also, main leads have great chemistry.

I think this drama is very underrated. It has that easygoing flow combined with funny and serious scenes that you can't help but to be drawn to watching it. I like the OST very much too, especially the song Hyorin sings, Hyorin's voice and feeling of the song fits this drama perfectly.

Overall, this is the best drama I've watched in a while. It rised up directly to my most favorite dramas of all time. If you want to be left with 'warm and cozy' feel and miss all the characters at the end, I recommend this.

I originally wasn't going to write a review for this but then I just had too much to say about it. If you watch this and find you hate my opinion then I apologize and feel free to erase everything I write from your mind.
'Beautiful Days' really should have been renamed as either 'miserable days.' or 'the worst days of our lives.' because really that's all it focused on was tears....heartache.... and oh wait more tears.

plot: to be completely honest the plot wasn't that original or even engaging. although I will say a couple of characters circumstances were unique and towards the end, the main male lead's life completely turns around which I haven't seen happen in a lot of dramas. Beautiful Days was very refreshing in that aspect.

characters/ acting: I had no problem with the acting in this. The actors and actress could only do so much with their characters. and speaking of characters I completely fell in love with Sena. She stole the show for me because her spitfire attitude at everything was hilarious and in the beginning I only watched it for her absurd and rash scenes. As for the main female lead well...she was a dull as a doorpost that one. In the beginning she was just a really flat character that had the charisma and personality similar to that of what I'd imagine a dead slug to have. Luckily towards the last few episode she seemed to gain a little bit more of a personality though but I found it disappointing that all the side female leads seemed to outshine the main female lead hands down in terms of interesting quirks.

ok now lets move on to the main male lead of this drama. .......to be completely honest I found him a little creepy. He was good looking but somehow, perhaps by fault of the way they directed it, he came off a little....well creepy. I wasn't a large fan of the whole 'here, let me just....reach out and attempt to intimately touch your face....hahaha just kidding I was totally just reaching for the post card behind you because I get off on making you feel overly awkward and uncomfortable' scenes. Then there was that fond habit he had of just randomly popping up when you least expected him to in a very uncomfortable kind of way. For example, here's the main female lead having this nice little conversation with said second lead with some uplifting music going on in the background so i'm like I can roll with this when all of a sudden, with no warning from the director or easing into the scene BAM, the main male leads creepy leering face peering through a crack in the door. I don't know why but every time that happened (happened more than once i'm afraid) I jumped and got chills in a bad way. it gave me the feel of a horror movie. I really half expected there to be some scary music in the background during those parts.

chemistry: I don't really think there was that much chemistry between the two leads either. really just nothing. There were hardly any couple or heartwarming couple moments and more than half the drama he was too busy being a jerk or a terrible boyfriend to take her out on dates and really accumulate happy memories for those lovely flashback barrages we all love to see every three episodes. I could count on one hand how many times he was actually nice to her. All in all, kind of wish they didn't spend 19 episodes doing nothing but making each other miserable and then crying about making each other miserable. oh well, at least there wasn't a crazed jealous second female lead out to ruin their lives and suck the main male leads soul out of his body.

music: music was so so but Ididn't really expect anything awesome from such an old drama. there was one piece that I rather liked though which was the ending music. I could roll with it.

overall, I'd say this was an ok drama. don't think i'll ever rewatch it but it was a nice experience. You should watch it for Sena since she was hilarious and if you're curious about those dramatic almost horror movie type moments then give it a try. Also, if you're expecting a sad and tragic ending i'm pleased to say that you won't be crying you're weight in tears by the end of it either. Thank you director for that much at least.

I did not know what to watch next. Decided on this drama and boom! It was a pleasant surprise! To be honest with you, I did expect this to be good, but never in million years would say it was That Good!!! It was spectacular for me. I loved the story, all actors and marathoned whole series in 2 days (eyes starting to get red and tired now). The biggest surprise was - Lee Hong Ki - OMG! I have always seen him in goofy, funny dramas, and was thinking although funny but too childish for me. NOT this time! I absolutely loved him in this role. He was mature, he looked great, he acted really good. He made the biggest surprise in my eyes as an actor. Not to say that the main female actress was not good, she was great playing both roles. I really enjoyed the drama. Did not forward even a minute. Towards the episode 15 things were a bit draggy but not to worry, ending was to my satisfaction, and I loved the drama so much I will recommended to my friends telling them this one was almost 10/10 :)

Yoshitsune is my all time favorite drama, and God knows I was expecting a lot from it because the actual samurai named Yoshitsune is a historical character that is dear to my heart and I really wanted to see a work that would do him justice. And this show did it amazingly well.

Generally speaking, the backgrounds, clothings and everything meant to immerse us into the late Heian era are awesome, and they even shot some parts of the show in places/temples where no one had ever had the right to record something. The OST is great, though I found there weren't as many tracks as there should be for a 50 episodes long show.

Now if I speak objectively, I'd say it might seem a bit boring and difficult to the people who aren't interested in Japanese history. Mostly because there are MANY characters, and because the story's a bit complex. Personally, Heian is my favourite Japanese era and the Genpei war passionates me so I already knew all the details before even watching the drama. Which also leads me to say that historically, it's pretty accurate. Yoshitsune's story has been modified through the ages so you'll never find anything that is 100% sure to be true anyway, but this drama is definitely based on the Heike Monogatari and the Gikei-ki which are the two main works that tell his story. Some things I find important have been omitted (what happened to Yoritomo's as well as Yoshitsune's daughters...) but the main story's there.

As for the acting, I must say I had no clue about who Takki was before starting the drama so I just thought &quot;let's hope he's good&quot; and honestly, he blew me away. Like I can't even think of anyone who'd play Yoshitsune better than him, he was BORN for this role. And I don't think I'd have been so moved and cried so many times while watching the show if it weren't for him. The rest of the cast I didn't know either, but they did hella good in my opinion.

To conclude, this isn't a drama I'd recommend to everyone but to me, it's a 10/10.
