The story idea was great. Maybe it's because I have a thing for gender benders, but I really liked the idea. This drama was very lighthearted, fluffy, and cutesy, and I couldn't help but squee the whole way through. Jeremy (played by Lee Hongki), was absolutely adorable. If you need a lighthearted drama to get your mind off of sad stuff (for example, if you just finished watching a drama like Stairway to Heaven and need a quick breather), watch You're Beautiful. The music was amazing, and the story made me smile. There were some funny scenes, and I love the pig rabbit with all my heart.
However, I DO think that this drama is overrated. Personally, I loved the story, but the acting could have been better (UEE was pretty good in this drama though. I was impressed). This drama was fun, but it was amateurish and there were several flaws in the acting and storyline that didn't make sense. Halfway through, the drama really starts dragging and goes downhill. The story starts to fall apart, and at one point I felt like nothing made sense. The ending wasn't all too great either. If you don't like weak characters, You're Beautiful might drive you insane. Go Mi Nyu (Park Shin Hye), who pretends to be Go Mi Nam, is a very weak character who makes extremely stupid decisions and is probably the most dense drama character I've ever encountered in my life. I still love the drama and there were some funny scenes because of her clumsiness, but sometimes her character just made me frustrated.
Still, I gave this a 9 rewatch value because of the ambiance that it creates. Even though there are flaws, the happy and funny scenes are great (and not to mention this is a kdrama that you could watch with the whole family since it doesn't have many-if any- inappropriate parts) and the overall light tone of the drama could lift your spirits when you're feeling down. You're Beautiful is one of those dramas that has some really stupid mistakes, but you can't help but forgive and ignore because you love the adorable-ness of the drama too much to complain about it.

The characters are so good in portraying their roles, the emotion that they show was all conveyed well.
Great story line.
My fave characters were Song Yi Soo and Song Yi Kyung. I mean Scheduler is my main reason why i watched this. But after a single episode of this, i got hooked.
i cried, laugh, think of what will happens on the episode, and sometimes my heart can't fathom a single word after watching it.
And now i'm rewatching it all over again as if this is my first time to see this,..it has the same effect..my heart beats faster than the usual..
hope that everybody will feel the same

Now that that's out of the way:
First of all, Lee Da Hae is amazing in this drama. She really played out her character perfectly, and throughout the whole drama I kept swaying from oozing with hate to feeling a deep sense of pity for her (character). I didn't care much for her acting in My Girl, but her acting in Miss Ripley is absolutely brilliant. Overall, the casting was pretty nice but I don't think Yoochun really served a purpose in that drama (nor did it seem at all like he truly liked her, so Yoochun's acting in this drama wasn't that great although it was cute), and the other man was good, but I wasn't impressed. I was slightly disappointed by the overall acting of the cast, but Lee Da Hae's acting in this drama really pulled me in. I usually can't take melodramas, but I kept watching anyways.
The story is great, because it holds a good message and also stirs up several psychological/moral questions concerning topics such as corruption, motivation for actions, greed, and misanthropy. I hated what Lee Da Hae's character did in this drama, but I couldn't help but pity her at the same time, because there are some (although a bit overexaggerated) real-life issues that are presented in the drama.
The story's purpose (or at least what I analyzed it to be) is ingenious, but the story itself goes downhill. I admit, I stopped after episode 9. Half because I couldn't take the awful things that were happening, and half because the drama started dragging. The story overall was still pretty good though.
I would not rewatch this though, because although the first time was alright, if I rewatched it I'm sure I would feel like the drama was dragging 10x more than it was the first time, and I don't want to go through suffering from nightmares about it again. Although this isn't my type of drama (Out of the 80+ dramas I've watched, all of my favorites are happy-go-lucky fluffy ones), I still liked it. Not sure why.

The storyline for Rooftop Prince was ingenious. Rooftop Prince is by far my favorite drama of all time. The story was creative, and it also gave room for a lot of lighthearted humor. I also thought it was ingenious on the writer's part to parallel the past and the present day, and some of the serious scenes left me clinging to the edge of my seat. The casting was great. Taemoo and Sena made me feel really icky and hateful, but then I realized that it was the characters that I hated so much, which proves that the acting was good. The three men who follow Lee Gak to the present are HILARIOUS. There are some serious parts in this drama and some evil parts, but whenever the three "power rangers" appear, they have SUCH funny scenes. I was laughing my head off at so many parts. This drama balances out seriousness and lighthearted mood, the music is pretty great, and I would rewatch this 5 times over if I had the time. Above all, I was very impressed with Micky Yoochun in this drama. I liked him in SKK Scandal, but I LOVED him in Rooftop Prince because he made the character come alive, and at the heavy parts, you could really see the emotion in his eyes. Yoochun's acting overall was mindblowing.The only thing I would say is the ending. No spoilers, but as the drama nears towards the end, it goes a little downhill. I still love it though.

Guys, I am not going to lie. I cried, I did’t cry because the ending was sad, I cried because…it was so good. That’s it, this is deffinently the best drama of 2012. I don’t know how you can top this. Like seriously, my heart goes to this drama, it might actually become my favorite drama of all time.
A teenage drama done right. I mean there were no flaws in this drama, and if you find one, your searching way too hard there buddy. Because this drama was pure and innocent to its youth that it portrayed. Though I was only 6 when this drama was taking place (for the most part), my teenage years arent that far behind me, and I can sort of connect my youth to this drama. I am not an old woman, but I am becoming an adult as each day goes by, and watching this drama, I could remember all the things that went down when I was a teenager. There were scenes that I could really relate to, and that is what makes this drama so amazing. They captures life in is most raw true form.The characters in this drama, they didnt even seem a bit fake to me, they had amazing personalities that are oh so true to real personalities. They werent all these cookie cutter people that we see in dramas now a days. Not the omg so perfect type or the oh so ever bad type, they were in the middle ground, being true people with true emotions and feelings, going through real life situation. And I stand in applauded the writer or writers of this drama, for getting human life and teenage romance and drama so perfectly.
The characters in this drama were probably the most realistic characters I have seen in a long time. They all had their own personalities that shinned, even if they werent always the center of attention. You never really knew what they were going to do, it wasnt as predictable as some characters in dramas now a day. In dramas now a days you can tell if someone is going to be this huge bitch, and you already expect things to go down, but with this, you never knew how they were going to react or what they were going to do and that made it so realistic. And even if you knew they were going to fail at something, you would still root for them, because they had this charisma about them, that showed that they were going to give it their all, most of the time.
There is a lot of stuff I want to say about this drama, but I don’t want to give it all away so I wont go in much detail because this is a drama that you actually need to watch. I loved the format of this drama as well, going from 1997 to the present, and so forth, it really kept the mystery to this drama. And it frustrated you when it was in the present and it would give you clues to who ended up with who and what happened to make someone this way and what not, but then would totally confuse you the next minute when they switched to 1997 or the early times. But then somehow they would show you you a scene that for example marked a couple, and it would flash to the present to show that outcome. I also loved how each part of the drama complimented the other part, if someone was saying a story about something that happened to them, it wouldnt not just be a time filler, there is actually a connection between that story, and a story of one of those characters or more , and it would show you that. It was perfect and it’s really hard to explain without going into detail of a scene and what not. And can I say that the parents in this drama are so perfect. They really were true parents, and the relationship between the two, and their children is utterly perfect. The daughter father relationship is perfect , and it reminded me of my dad and our relationship. We may of loved each other more than anything, but that didnt keep us from fighting and yelling at one another, and yet then showing how much we cared for one another. It was great and it really warmed a place in my heart every time I saw it.
The acting in this drama was on point. Though some may say that some parts were a little over dramatic, I think not. The crying, and the tears, the fighting, and they yelling, are all part of their characters, and once you get ot know their characters you can see that sometimes some of t hem are a little over dramatic , which in turns makes those actors act that way, and it totally fit. They were so good at portraying their characters, I forgot that they were actors and actually thought they were those people. And that makes it even better to watch, because we don’t see our favorite Idol or actor portraying someone, but when we see them as that character, it makes it even better, because that shows that their acting is that good. I don’t know if its the acting or not, but the story of this drama and the way it is formatted could most likely be so flawless that the acting really didnt matter, but I liked to believe that it did.
I am just going to take a moment and praise the lead character (female) for her dedication as a fan. Sometimes fangirls get a bad rep for how obnoxious they are, and I can understand that, I can sometimes be a little out of hand when it comes to a kpop group and what not, but this girl, she shows the true crazy side of a fan. She goes to any limit for her oppa, and that is beautiful. Some people may not understand that, but she is the fan girl that we all really want to be deep down inside. She loves Tony (H.O.T) more than life, and that is a true fan girl. Though she does some crazy things, and embarrasses her self, her love for her idol is one of a kind. And I absolutely love that they portrayed her as one of those fan girls, that made this drama even better.
And speaking of embarrassment, everyone knows that when you’re a teenager, we have some of the most embarrassing moments of our lives, all the time. We say things that we shouldnt be saying, and do things that we most likely shouldnt be doing and people see and we get so red in the fact that we wish we could die, or feel like we are dying of embarrassment. These characters are no different, and I loved that. Every embarrassing moment was so priceless and that goat noise when it happened, was just icing on the cake. It cracked me up every time. So if you thought this was just a teen romance drama, you probably are wrong, because there are many moments that will make you crack a smile or laugh really hard, because you probably can imagine these type of situations happening to yourself, or this has happened to you and you know how embarrassing that is. That is what makes this drama so good, that its so realistic it hurts.
I really want to talk about the couples in this drama and the parings, though you might have seen a whole tone of them via tumblr thorugh gifs, but I want to talk about how I feel about them, and how I would of liked them to work out, or if they did work out how I liked. And how I felt about each of them, and their stories, but I dont want to do this on here. I dont want to give anything away, since the gif sets on tumblr basically ruin it for you, for those who have seen them, but I dont discrouage you from watching this drama because of those, because this drama is too good to pass up, even if you have seen some of the key momemnts through those sets. Its better to see them with words and in motion rather than in moving pictures that repeat themselves. If you understand what I am saying. But I will be posting something about those couples and the characters and how they made me feel and how sometimes I wanted to slap some courage into them, and I will post the link to it on here at the bottom when it happens, and just post a link on the dashboard as well.
So overall, my tiny heart is exploding with excitement and sadness about this drama. Excitement that it was so good, that I can hardly control myself, and sadness that it had to come to an end. But I do hear that there may be a second season, but I dont know how they would keep this story going, and if they bring a new cast, it might not live up to this one, but I would watch it to see. So all I can really actually say is that you should watch this drama. If you havent got that this drama is amazing form this long spew of random thoughts that I cant keep controlled in my mind, because of how good it was, then I guess I will just say it plainly. THIS DRAMA ISNT ONE TO OVER LOOK, YOU WILL REGRET IT, AND YOU SHOULD JUST GO WATCH IT NOW. Understand? Good. So if your looking for a good, heartbreaking, heart-mending, heartwarming, stomach busting laughing good, amazing all around well-rounded drama that wont leave you bored or enthusiastic, you should probably go watch this now. I mean who doesn’t like a perfect drama now and then? Go do it, you will not, regret it, and if you do, I will write you a letter of apologies that my opinion and review was misleading. Guaranteed you will like it or your money back! (lol)
Yeah, I am pretty much a fangirl for this drama.

Being just a little kid in 1997, it shouldn't have easy for me to relate to the setting. Considering the enormous fanbase Reply 1997 accumulated, both young and old, I have to say there's something right going on behind the scenes.
The dialogue was snappy and perfect. Every little word, cultural reference, and even the sheep sound effects chimed so nicely in with what shows today are missing. The raw, uncensored teenage energy without the fluff leaves us more relatable humor.
Every actor was perfect. You'd think with so many idols and newbie actors, it'd be a mess. ENTIRELY not the case. These people took the amazing script and turned it up 10 more notches. It's no wonder that each of their popularities skyrocketed because of this show. I am very much looking forward to what the actors of our six misfits get up to in the future.
Speaking of the future, it seems Reply 1997 has a sequel in the making. That's something to look forward to as well :)
Overall: I've always loved teen dramas, but I'd been slipping away because they all seem to be cut from the same cookie cutter recently. I love that Reply 1997 does use excessive cliches, but mixed in with such lovable characters, you actually appreciate rather than scorn them. I'm so sad that it ended, but this was definitely the most FULFILLING ending of any drama in recent years. Every plotline gets a heartwarming conclusion.
Anyone, kdrama fan or not, should watch this show

The story plot isn't predictable but nor is it unbelievable. It's REAL. I think that's what I like the most. The development of the characters and story captivates you and the actors and actresses portrayed those characters amazingly.
I wasn't tempted to watch this drama by the description or the title, I was just bored but I'm so glad I did! I joined when it was on the 9th episode and literally had to stop myself screaming in frustration while waiting for the next episode. It has an addictive and completely lovable quality. I wanted to rewatch it before it was even finished and it would be one of the dramas I would pay money to buy on DVD and watch again and again.
The music was perfect. Literally perfect. It fit the story completely. The main song Hikaru e by Miwa [Theme song] is full of hope and encouragement and I literally have had it stuck in my head for weeks while reminiscing on the last episode.
For someone who doesn't ever speak while watching a drama [crying is a different matter] I found myself ragging when bad things happened, squealing in joy at the cute little moments that the main characters shared and sprouting swear words when things didn't go the way I wanted [For example; some of the interactions with the romance].
My official number 1 must watch drama of all time. Don't questions 'should I watch it?' Just. Watch. It. Trust me

I adored the story, It was so well written that it blown my mind. The concept of death and ghosts was amazing and it was well explained.
The cast was amazing, and the acting was brilliant (I cried in pretty much every episode T_T), and one of my favorites characters ever will always be the Scheduler (Jung Il Woo did an amazing job, I cried and laugh with this amazing character). Lee Yo Won also did an amazing job, i just adored how her character evolved.
The romance was also very sweet, i liked how there were a few couples and how they were connected.
The ending made me cry a lot, and the all sister stuff was a bit "wtf?", but overall it was an amazing dramas that i recommend to everyone who hasn't seen it yet.

Can I just say, the chemistry between Ra Im and Joo Won was absolutely insane. Joo Won was a total jerk (and if you were hoping for a reformed bad boy by the end, you might not want to hold your breath!). Some of the things he said to her, if I were in her place, he'd have been missing a few teeth by the end of the show. All of that being said, Gil Ra Im completely holds her own against him, and it ends up being a lot of fun to watch them bicker.
I think this show made me cry the most times out of all of the dramas I have seen, and definitely laugh the most times. It knows how to burrow itself deep down and tug those heartstrings at the drop of a hat, so definitely be prepared with a box of tissues! If you are looking for a really, really good romance with a heavy dose of comedy thrown in, and some dramatic roadblocks thrown in the way of the couple along the way, then this is what you want to watch. Seriously. Go watch it right now!

All in all its a really good drama to watch.

There is a mystery that centers around the main character, Tae Yeon, but each episode also has it's own mystery and resolution. It is kind of like CSI (US tv series) only there is a vampire that can figure things out then they use the science to prove it.
I had never seen Yun Jung Hoon in anything before this drama, so I wasn't sure what to expect from him. He is intense. He has a way of drawing you into the character that I find extremely appealing. To say nothing of the fact that he is totally hot in this drama. Lee Won Jong is also in this drama. He is a really good underrated actor. He must be a workaholic because although he doesn't have a lot of main character rolls. He is in a lot of dramas. He does like 4 dramas a year. Crazy!!! All of the other actors do a really good job too.
The music is fitting for the drama.
I didn't have to rewatch anything from this drama before starting the second season, because I remember it well. It is the kind of drama that sticks with you. I recommend that everyone that likes mystery type dramas give it a try and then move on to the second season. You won't regret it.

Serie con grandes actuaciones, Han Jin Min y So Ji Sub, perfectos, increíble química entre ambos.
La historia cuenta con algunos clichés típicos de los dramas coreanos, pero aun así te mantiene en tensión, su narración es ágil y entretenida, poco más que pedir.

Well it was not addicting like most dramas, and I found the charactor of the lead actress a little over bearing and the lead actors a bit too mild.
The charactors of the other pair were cuter. The drama dragged toward the half way mark and I had to skip a few episodes (didnt miss much of the story) and fast forward to the interesting scenes.
Music wasnt bad and the acting was very good. So if dont have anything else just give it a go.
