Hope World's Spring Day Sea
I'm quite embarrassed now to remember why and how I started watching this drama, thinking of it lightly, just another rom/com, even putting it on hold after watching 2 episodes... now it sounds so crazy to me *shame on me*...
More than writing about the originality of the story and its differences from other dramas, I'd prefer to write about the characters that made me love the story, even making me claim, that I'd love the ending despite whatever stupid solution they offer, only if the two main leads end up together (no, that did not include meeting with the reincarnated version of one of the characters!)
First of all (hands away, he's MINE, RAWR!) the smartest, the hottest, the bravest Kim BoongDu! I will agree with HeeJin, he's a total player, who stole my heart and did not give it back even after the end, on the contrary, I love him more and more each day. BoongDu kind of flipped my apprehension of a perfect male character! Ji HyunWoo was such a natural in his role, I didn't doubt his act even for a second, everything was so natural! Even the smallest looks he gave HeeJin, the smallest touch, the smallest blink of his eyes for her, nothing went unnoticed because of his acting!
HeeJin, well, not my perfect female character, actually (she underestimated her intellect so often...), but I came to love her so dearly! I've said several times: HeeJin - the only female character who can explain the meaning of everything with a kiss, I luved it! I liked her very much, as she went on with her life even during her hardest times, tried her hardest to be all she wanted to be, and did not break down during separation, was passionate and cute, lovable and supportive every time BoongDu needed her!
A special mention deserves the cinematography of this drama! One of the BEST thing bout this drama, I felt like being inside the screen all the time, I fell in love with director's style, his multiple angle shots of the same scene, showing both of the characters when they were longingly looking at each other, I did not miss a single moment of their love, not a single teardrop, not a single breath...
I also want to mention that this drama contains the BEST kiss I had ever witnessed in a Korean drama! I still go back and watch it sometimes... the tip-toe kiss...*sigh*
The music is very fitting and sweet, especially the traditional instrumental piece which I hope will be released soon, I adore it...
I have rewatched many parts of the drama for many-many times, so I rate its value almost as high as the drama itself.
During these weeks I have been watching this drama, it changed its status in my heart several times: first it was a light rom/com trough which I was going to lightly pass through, rate it 7 and forget, then it became the source of my smile and laughter, as I was leaving it to watch after I was being drained by King2Hearts, it gave me so much consolation... then, as I was still under the impression of K2H, it kind of lost the meaning of a placebo of a smile for me, but then, it again gained my heart, made my heart flutter, made me laugh, cry, scream at the screen, analyze and dream...
Totally recommended ^^

This is one of those movies, that you think while watching the 10th minute, oh, hell, why didn't I watch this earlier???
This is such a heartwarming and brilliant story, it made me cry, just because it was so good! After the movie was over, I wanted to hug my besties SO much, it's a pity it was 3 in the morning and it was not possible...
I was so sad because of the unfortunate reason they were reconnected after so many years, and kind of confused why they had to separated in the first place.
The dialogue of the main leads, just broke my heart, it's so important to understand, that YOU are the protagonist of you life, and having your friends with you makes it a lot easier.
I hope my friends always remain by my side.
Thank you SUNNY!!!

Nothing happens... I mean it...nothing...
It's raining...the woman is packing her things to leave her too nice husband (she's at least mental, as her husband is Hyun Bin, and you should be at least mental to leave Hyun Bin)...it's raining...the guy us making coffee for his cheater wife...she's suddenly hitting his chest with her hands...a cat appears...then their neighbors come to look for the dat...then again they are alone (though the cat is somewhere in the house)...the guy is again cooking for his cheater wife...then he is washing his face...she's decorating the pasta they're going to eat...the cat appears...it's raining...the end...

What do you say to a team, consisting of a detective who has been removed from the office for his personality and morale, a convicted gangster, who once organised the taking of whole Seoul streets, convicted contract killer, whose method is to kill and make it look as an accident, and he is in the prison only because he came and turned himself in... (WHY?) and a serial killer, who is a psychopath and a genius and insists he does not remember killing anybody, though his girlfriend claims he also tried to kill her... (another piece of puzzle you will have to watch the drama to understand) trying to solve complicated cases (like a serial murder case, an organisation that sells people and human organs, gangsters, drug dealers...) and working as a team to make their time in prison shorter, that is the reason you are given in the beginning, but as the story goes on, you start realising that every one of them has another reason for joining the team. Although they are pictured as cruel murderers in the beginning, you realise they are human beings who want 2nd chance, to be better, to be forgiven, to find themselves, to be humane! Sounds intriguing, doesn't it? Believe me when I say, that watching it will not give you even the chance to breath calmly! There were moments, where I had to stop the drama, have moment and then continue. This drama will have you imprisoned until you finish it and even longer, as after you finish it, you will have to talk to somebody and tell them how utterly fascinated you are with it.
It is really rare in a drama, where there are no scenes that could be absent and you would not care, scenes that you can just fast forward through and get the story all the same, well, hear my warning, this drama has no such scenes, miss a second, and you will miss an important part of information, that you should have heard!
I don't even think I have the right to talk about the actors, as every single one of them were brilliant in their role, Park HaeJin making me shiver with the twitch of his lips, Ma DongSeok and Jo DongHyeok (my first time seeing him) with their bromance, their heart and brain, Kim SangJoong, with his grief and anger, I don't find another word, except for... PERFECT!
This is a gem, which I will recommend you every one who asks an opinion from now on.

Next, I would like to ask anybody who discovers in the drama an ikemen to let me know, cause I didn't find one, we~ll Nakatsu was a really cute guy (maybe I'm biased, as I'm crazy about his character), sometimes Sano's actor seemed OK, but...OMG... I didn't find anyone appealing enough to call them ikemen...whatever, that's not the problem.
If they were going to remake the great drama, I thought their goal was to make it closer to the manga, I'd be crazy about it and undoubtedly, they added some features that covered the manga, but...the characters just didn't fit, I still can't believe I was watching Hana Kimi, my favourite manga and drama... the feeling was whole another one... I didn't even feel serious about watching it, just curious...
The director polished Sano's character, which I actually liked, as in the earlier version Sano at first got on my nerves by his always moody expression and not taking part in school activities, this Sano was more sensual...I'm talking about the character, not the actor, as till the last moments I couldn't see him as my fvourite character ever. I just fell in love with him during the last scene with Mizuki, when he came to US to see her, he was gorgeous!
Mizuki... didn't like her... though she had some awesome lines throughout the drama, script writes, gambarimashita!
Nakatsu...great fella...liked his acting (then again, I might be biased :P)... His character was one the closest to the Nakatsu I remember from the last version, Toma Ikuta's genius! I really like this guy!
Whatever you decide 'watch' or 'not to watch', remember, this peace of work, I mean the story, is one of the greatest works in the manga history, please, spare some time, read the manga, you won't regret the time you spent, I promise! When you have read the manga, watch the original version, it has a whole another feeling about it, but it's gorgeous, funny and lovable...after you've done these, you can watch this version and judge for yourself.

Just imagining how the most trivial thing - food, can open the most beautiful story of love before the audience's eyes...
Two of my favourite actors made this movie unforgettable for me... The style of romance... the director could be only a woman... such soft and tender scenes made me have butterflies in my stomach...
And, please, could somebody tell me who is the author of the score and where I can get it from, cause the music is heavenly...
And for the last scene... The journalist is telling the audience the ingredients of the doenjang, he lists the food, the flowers... and lastly the tears... The way of making... Waiting and waiting... The last scene... a tear falls and dries... leaving salt... and the music...

I enjoyed this drama on it's own way, though not the best drama I watched, as it is difficult not to compare to the original.
The story evolved mostly the same way as in the original, though there were some clever solutions not to copy the story (Geun-Suk's cameo... some funny moments).
The acting... The fist character I approved of was Ren, a cute guy, actually, I liked his acting throughout the series a lot, at first I was thinking 'God, he'll kill himself trying to look and sound like Tae-Kyoung' but then I discovered his own charm. I fell in love with his smile, actually.
The next character I came to like was Mio/Miko (don't make me compare her to Minam/Shin-Hye, ok? just please). I'm just saying, she got into the role very well, and she did great job on her own. The next character I like is the president, he had a lot of funny moments, I enjoyed his scenes, especially his last scene with Miko.
Now to the bad part... I didn't like all other characters... Shu... boring, not deep enough, I couldn't see or sense his love and loss every time (again I compared, but I can't help remembering Sin Woo's face and my breaking heart for him, though at that time Yong-Hwa wasn't even acting that good). Yuuki... overcuteness made him not cute at all, honestly, when I try to remember any scenes with him, he just disappears from the scene, when others are around (and remember Jeremy, and his acting, he was a total scene stealer!)NaNa...oh, come on, her voice just got on my nerves...and her friend/make-up artist, he was just gross (I'm sorry to say this, every scene with that guy, I just closed my eyes/ears, couldn't hear his screeply voice and see his overly thin face).
Back to good things :) I loved the piano score very-very much! It fit the drama perfectly!
Once again, not the best drama I watched, but it had its own good moments.

Really a lovely piece of work.
The life of the main hero is being changed so much by the 6 year old child in his care, his every development brought tears to my eyes, especially, when you notice after some time of the movie, that not only Daikichi's life is changing, but for a more impressive effect his house is changing... from the boring ordinary room, into a room where everything is colorful, and everything is hanging from the ceiling...
I like that they made the child not the burden for Daikichi, but his partner in the challenges they faced... she was his equal while running, while making decisions, even sometimes the one that was actually guiding him!
Absolutely adorable moments when Daikichi is imagining dancing with Yukari and gets strength from the scenes...haha~ and his face when they first meet... priceless...
One of my favourite moments when at the end the children are doing their show and Rin repeats the movements Daikichi's sister taught her, Daikichi gives his sister the dirty look like 'How dare you teach my daughter such moves!!!' And of course the last moment, when he shows everyone her photo in his phone so proudly, haha~
The part when he was writing to Ren mom... so funny~ and when he was thinking that whatever happens, when he has Ren by his side at night, sound asleep when he sees her smile when he comes to get her from nursing school... everything's alright...
I hope they leave this story like this, and don't continue as the manga does, I read how it ends... I don't like the idea AT ALL...
Whatever they decide, this movie became one of my favourite ones from the first moments I was watching it, and that almost never happens to me...
Enjoy!

I liked it, but it doesn\'\'t come even close to what the mange is for me, I think Koreans would make the drama better (my personal, subjective opinion). Though I likes the guy playing Ray, I didn\'\'t like Barbie\'\'s performance, she wasn\'\'t quite Kira...
Maybe if you like the mange very-very much, you expect the drama to be everything you expected, and if smthg is not...you get disappointed easily.
