The only con with this drama is that she is too innocent. It makes sense that she would be seeing as she was raised by nuns. However, there are times when it gets on your nerves a little bit.
Music: An amazing OST with every member of A.N.Jell singing.
Cast/Acting: Every single one of them, from the manager to the president, from Mi Nam/Nyu to Yoo He Yi and A.N.Jell were amazing. It was refreshing to see so many different personalities played out well. Honestly, out of everyone, I think Lee Hongki did the best. Like in Muscle Girl, he was the most funny and my favorite character.

Ai is a normal teenage girl with normal friends. None of them are good at baking and they love to joke around and goof off. Miao Miao is an exchange student from Japan who is very quiet and shy. The two girls hit it off right away and spend the majority of their time together. They are normal teenage girls. In the end Miao Miao falls in love with a guy who is so self absorbed and depressed. He spends his time with noise cancelling headphones on and searching for CD to help him remember his lost love and best friend. Ai, thinks Miao Miao spends too much time with him and is jealous. She wants Miao Miao all to herself, but not for reasons she thinks.
A warning to prudes: there are underlying homosexual tendencies in this movie. Nothing even remotely ‘graphic’ though. In all there are two different main love lines in this movie, a third in the background. None of them bloom by the end which really disappointed me.
I found it a little too boring and disappointing. I wanted something more to happen and develop between the characters, but nothing ever did. In all it’s a good short movie to watch if you want something a little more light-hearted that deals with friendship and finding the one you truly love.
Music: Honestly, it never made that much impression on me. I do remember that in the second hand CD shop it sounded like a lot of indie music. That wasn’t too bad. Honestly, I was more focused on what was going on in the movie than the tunes.
Cast/Acting: They weren’t bad, but they weren’t amazing either. Personally, I really invested myself into them, trying to figure out who they were and just what the hell was up Chen Fie’s ass. I loved Pinna Sandrine’s characters. While she was immature and goofy there was a sadness to her. Her parents aren’t together, she caught her dad in bed with a woman, and she loves someone who won’t love her back.
This was the first movie I’d seen Ke Alice in, but I was impressed. I know her major from college was English, but she did really good with Japanese. There wasn’t a whole lot spoken, but she really nailed it. Her acting was just as good, she really seemed shy and introverted.

They’re constantly struggling though. And it’s always something different: money, approval for marriage, neighbors gossiping, whether or not they should start a family and more. There is never a dull moment.
It really is something different and it kind of teaches you in a way. Love is not just physical. Marriage is not just a ring on the finger. Family means looking out for one another. Success is not easy, it is pain and hard work. It isn’t a typical love story, which makes this all the more better.
Music: Very subtle, you focus more on the story than the actual background music
Cast/Acting: The first show I saw Ueto Aya star in was Azumi, where she played a cold female assassin. Then I watched her in Attention Please where she played a very outgoing and bright flight attendant trainee. I was so amazed with her acting, its as if she has multiple personalities, the way she’s able to pull them off so well.
Koide Keisuke was good as well. They had good chemistry and acted like a real couple. Together, despite being able to see, they were able to pull off acting blind very well, looking straight ahead, not looking at people and walking with a cane.

Story: How could a plot like that not capture your attention? The whole movie was a little bit suspenseful, though I wish there had been more suspense, and even a little bit romantic, which I found creative. It’s interesting to see romance worked into a murder mystery without everything being so over-exaggerated and bombing. It turned out pretty nice here and even brought on some parts that made me laugh. This story falls more into the mystery genre, so don’t go in thinking you’ll be scared. It’s not very scary at all, but there are a lot of plot twists so it keeps you on edge. And trust me, the ending when you find out who the killer is, will blow your mind. It blew mine.
Music: There’s hardly any music. For a movie like this I think that’s a good thing. It doesn’t distract you from whats going on. The times where you do hear ‘music’ is just background drums and such when time is pressed.
Cast/Acting: I wouldn’t say the acting is bad, because Kang So-ra and Yoo Seung Ho did a pretty good job, there’s just room for improvement. The parts where they really preformed their best were the romantic ones.

Music: The music set the mood for everything and the ending theme is so beautifully sung I put it on my ipod right away. It’s one of those songs (for me at least) that whenever you’ll hear it, your heart will jerk because it will remind you of that tragic relationship between the two mains.
Cast/Acting: The leads were all I cared about, honestly. I was too absorbed in their odd relationship to even care about the rest of the cast, who only held a certain amount of air time anyway. They did great getting into their characters and playing the parts. It all seemed very sincere to me. They seemed to

Music: It was enjoyable. Nothing as memorable as the soundtrack to 1 Litre of Tears, but decent none the less.
Cast/Acting: The only, and I mean only, reason that I wanted to try out a violent movie in the first place was because Oguri Shun stars in it (him being my favorite Japanese actor). I wasn’t disappointed. Of course like his role in Hana Kimi and Hana Yori Dango he plays a more silent and serious type and plays it even better than I’ve ever seen. I had no problem believing into his charactor.
In addition to Oguri Shuns brilliant acting, I loved some of the leaders from other gangs. Mostly because, as a girl, a lot of them made great eye candy. Such as Tokio played by Kenta Kiritani, Izaki played by Sousuke Takaoka and Hiromi played by Shunsuke Daito.
Even better than the eye candy were the fight scenes. No lie.

Music: The music is really enjoyable. They picked perfect songs and used them in just the right places. I like how it’s mostly classical, not one song that they play continuously. It fits what’s going on in the show without overdo-ing it.
Cast/Acting: The cast was perfect! They all did a great job getting into their characters, every one of them seemed genuine and believable. I had no problem buying into them and falling for their drama. Especially Kim Jae Wook. He did a great job with his role. I was even surprised at how well he speaks French. I, personally, even thought all of them were pretty cute. What’s a good movie without some eye candy, yeah?

This story has one of the best female characters ever. She isn’t too girly and naive like the girl from You Are My Pet. This girl is tough and not afraid to beat someone up. Her personality is very extroverted and yet you can see the pain she is in. Because of all the pain she is in, she often drinks to try to forget it all.
That’s where the male lead comes in. He just happens to see her while she’s drunk and stops her from possibly falling in front of the subway. His personality is more submissive and he always does what she says. The times when he tries to assume the dominate role it never works out. He usually ends up in jail. But it’s because the two of them are like this that you start to fall for them the way they did for each other. You don’t realize it at first, you’re just laughing at all the crazy stuff going on, wondering what the hell else could she make him do, and then you’re crying and getting angry with the two of them.
I should mention, that the female lead likes to write. The scenes where he reads her scripts weren’t the best. As he reads them, they are acted out. They were obviously supposed to be really badly written and completely full of cliches. For me that was the only negative, but I could care less in comparison with the rest of the movie.
Music: It was all beautiful. The orchestra did a great job. It honestly felt a little ‘royal’ to me. I’m not sure how to explain it, hmm. I kind of feel like it should be playing as background music during tea time in England. I hope that helps, I’m, sure it doesn’t. But it was all sweet and flowed very nicely.
Cast/Acting: They were so great together. It’s not every day you see a great movie about a couple where the girl constantly beats up the guy and assumes the dominate role. They were sweet and cute, even when she was beating the crap out of him. Cha Tae Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun should act together again.

You don’t even realize it yourself, but she is teaching you, the viewer, as well. It’s all subliminal. She doesn’t say anything outright like, “Enjoy life, it could end at any moment,” rather than showing us how precious life in and how a romance can save you from the beast inside of you.
One of my favorite aspects of this movie was the beautiful scenery. The autumn light sparkling around the town, leaves falling around everyone, rain pouring down during an intense scene and snow falling in a way that makes you want to cry. It was all done so poetically and in a way that you aren’t overwhelmed with only scenes from the town. This all takes place during important scenes. It not only adds to the story but makes you wish you were really there.
The romance, oh god the romance. There wasn’t that much kissing and there wasn’t a sex scene. But none of that mattered. They fell in love so hard and so fast that there wasn’t much time for them to prepare for what was going to happen. These two actors had so much chemistry that I believed in their love. This story reminds me of Nicholas Sparks, a noted romance novelist. It’s that good.
Music: So beautiful. The scenes alone are emotional but it was because of the music that the tears in my eyes overflowed and had to find tissues. Like A Tale of Two Sisters, the music only adds to what is going on. It’s not just there like some dramas where the characters are shopping and you need filler music. The music serves a purpose: to make you feel what those in the movie feel.
Cast/Acting: Every part was played wonderfully. I really believed in their romance and really believed in Eun-hwans secret. You can really see him changing for her and trying to be who he is supposed to.

Story: At first this sounds like a very sad story, like 1 Litre of Tears. I put off watching it because of that impression. The movie is generally more upbeat then the synopsis lets on. You get to see inside a science fiction writers mind and truly understand just what they’re thinking. Some of the stories that he had come up with were so ridiculous that you have to laugh. You’ve either got to very imaginative or clinically insane to come up with the ideas that he did. But it wasn’t just about the funny short stories. The relationship between Sakutaro and Setsuko is cute and it is really enjoyable to watch this movie.
The only problem I face is, to me, this is the kind of movie where once you watch it you don’t really want to watch it again because you know what’s going to happen and it isn’t funny anymore. I shouldn’t say ‘funny’ because Setsuko is sick, but once you watch it you’ll understand. It was very enjoyable to watch.
Music: I didn’t pay much attention to the soundtrack. I was too busy laughing and crying.
Cast/Acting: Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Yuko Takeuchi did a good job. In the movie the two of them have a thing for robots and I really liked how Tsuyoshi Kusanagi kind of seemed like a robot himself. Not in a he-can’t-act-he-is-emotionless kind of way. It’s kind of like how he was so intent with writing and keeping his wife by his side. He was so focused and sincere.

It’s really refreshing to see Jang Keun-Suk with a light-hearted and go-with-the-flow character. His character was very sexy, crawling on floor to address his ‘master’ and even pulling down his shorts at one point. I really saw him in a different light. Trust me when I say, for those of you who loved him in You’re Beautiful, your thoughts about him aren’t going to be so pure. Especially with those dance moves and the bathtub scenes. With his cute and funny acting, you can’t help but admire the fact that in addition to manly roles (Itaewon Homicide) he can be cutesy as well.
The romance was so adorable and interesting. Not many people would agree to being someones pet. It was intriguing to see their relationship grow and develop over time. How she only thought of him as Momo and then towards the end fell in love with him. It was very funny to see the way he acted with her, saying perverted things like, “I only touched your chest,” and her reaction. They seemed to have some good chemistry on screen.
While I admire the romance, I don’t admire Eun-Yi as a person. While she is hardworking, I found her very weak. For example, you don’t bring your first love to your house, while another man is living with you. I mean, come on, no one is that stupid.
Music: It had some pretty good tunes, nothing I would put on my iPod though, if you know what I mean. There was one song that was sung in Engrish by JGS. I couldn’t understand half of what he was saying but the melody along with the acoustic guitar sounded nice. He just needs better pronunciation.
Cast/Acting: A lot of people are saying that JGS was cast to show off his dancing and singing skills. In reality he had to take dance lessons for this role. It isn’t as if he was cast soles because of his dancing. I think he did a great job, as I said earlier. While there is room for improvement and he could have done better, I think he did pretty good.
Kim Ha Neul, was okay. I can’t give her too much credit because it isn’t that hard to play a normal, stupid girl in love. There wasn’t much of a challenge and she didn’t really do anything but keep one man on a leash while another guy pursued her. With that in mind, her chemistry with JGS wasn’t that bad. They were cute together.

It was very nice to watch him go from being cold and rude to warm and open hearted. The transformations within this drama are beautiful and heart warming. It was lovely watching old romances being rekindled and unlikely romances happening. It is all about deciding your own path and finding happiness. However, it’s not all love and sunshine. There is death, tragedy and plot twists that make you want to yell at your screen. At one point I had to stop watching for a few hours because of how intense it is.
While the story was amazing and flowed beautifully, it ended really weird. I don’t even know how to explain it. One moment everything seems messed up and then the next you’re like, “what just happened?” because you don’t even know how to explain what you saw. I don’t even know how to tell you.
Music: Probably the best music I’ve ever heard, seriously. Because this takes place at an art school everyone has musical talent and there is always some type of music playing. The singing was great but I think the best music was all the traditional music that was played. They put a slightly modern spin on it, not to mention there are times when it is played with guitars and it sounds breath taking. I own the OST not to mention I found a bunch of songs ripped directly from the show because they were that good.
Cast/Acting: I know most people ship the two main characters together first. And I do ship Park with Jung, but they weren’t my favorite couple. I liked Yeo Joon-Hee (who is played by the drummer of C.N.Blue) with Han Hee-Joo, who was an attention seeking whore determined to be in the spot light no matter what. I hated her so much at times but Joon-Hee was so sweet with her and romantic. The way he was with her, it was so sincere.
Every one did such a good job with their characters. So much that at times you literally hate them or cry.

Music: I liked that the music was instrumental. It added a very upbeat feeling to the scenes.
Cast/Acting: I started watching this show because of Oguri Shun, my favorite Japanese Actor. I had seen him in Crows Zero, a bad ass fighting movie, as well as Hana Yori Dango, where he didn’t get the girl, and was extremely curious as to how he would do as the main love interest in a very funny romantic comedy. He didn’t disappoint.
Neither did Horikita Maki. She did just as good here as she did in her other dramas (Innocent Love, Atashinchi no Danshi). The best, in my opinion, was Ikuta Toma who played Nakatsu. He really fit the role of his character and honestly, he is the most funny out of everyone.

Music: The soundtrack is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Cyndi Wang is a singer so it’s no wonder they had her sing. I was really surprised to hear Mike He in the soundtrack. It’s no doubt he’s a good actor but he’s also a pretty goody singer as well.
Cast/Acting: Honestly, I think Mike had much better chemistry with Cyndi than he did with Rainie. They looked like they were a real couple with the way they would play around with each other and even when they got into fights. The relationship seemed so real between them, that when they were both in pain, it would make me want to cry. They did such a great job, it’s some of the best acting I’ve seen in a romantic comedy.
As for the supporting cast, they were alright. Not as great actors as the leads, but half way decent.

Story: If you’re a Super Junior fan you’re going to love this. The plot sounds funny and immediately drags you into watching the movie. I was a little disappointed. The characters were so exuberant I couldn’t help but dislike them. At times the acting felt forced or as if they weren’t trying. Not just the members of Super Junior, but minor characters too. A lot of the comedy seemed over exaggerated, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t laugh. Because I did, a lot. And I LIKED IT, a lot.
Music: A pretty good OST, I listen to it quite often.
Cast/Acting: As I said earlier it could have been better. That doesn’t mean the acting was bad, because it wasn’t. They were pretty comical.
