but i promise you if you love watching flawed like characters grow, if you love touching music, if you are bored with the stock dramas in dramaland and want to try something new and if you are ready to be shocked episode after episode then this drama is for you.
This drama is not for the fainthearted or for the casual viewer. It took me whole of 17 episodes for me to decide if i love this drama or i hate it with a vengeance. This one lies somewhere in the middle.
None of the 4 protagonists are your stereotypical characters from dramaland. All of them are flawed and selfish enough to self destruct themselves and everything around them.
Eric Mun as Kang Tae Joo is forever etched in my mind as the bastard with the human heart. Don't expect to love him but he is the type of man who we love to hate. Eric did a fantastic job portraying his character and brought such range of emotions that i am shocked that this drama is so under appreciated and received low ratings in its time.
I stand conflicted if i love the heroine or not. She is something for sure. She is the most unique heroine you will meet in dramaland. She looks naive and stupid but you will get to know her slowly and understand the things that she does. If you get past that horrible hairstyle that Jung Yoo Mi portrays throughout then you will see that her acting is pretty darn good.
Their is quite a good chemistry between Tae Joo and Eun Soo. When I saw them together on screen i felt everything what they were feeling. Those simple touches, those hugs, those kisses. The chemistry is well done and their is no tight lipped kissing here. The Romance has a mature tone so no fluffy stuff here.
Lee Kyu Han continues to get supporting roles but this man seriously needs his own drama to bring out the acting that i know he is capable of. He is quite good as Shin Joon Hyuk and as the man who is utterly cold and lonely in his life.
Cha Hye Rin is the type of woman who is easy to understand and someone who is just as lonely as anything or anyone.
The protagonists live in the hell of their own making and that is why this drama is full of so much angst. Their is lot of crying and moping and emotions flying around but it is not driven by external factors. This drama shows that we as humans are selfish and base. It is twisted and dark but oh so lovely to watch. It is told with raw realism and something akin to as if the writer can read our mind. Some shots, some quotes will forever remain in my memories. This was an intense drama that slowed down and kept on picking itself up at the same time. Don't expect a plot here.There is a plot though and it is quite good but not much happens in the way we viewers are used to. All the 17 episodes were about these 4 lives and their entangling and their character growth.
The music is downright phenomenal from Gotan Project to "Moonrise"
this is too intense a drama to be rewatched again.
Give this one a chance..this starts a little slow but will be up and running in no time. Que Sera Sera will bring you a little closer to understanding the human nature and much closer to life's realities as well. But as Peter Bishop says "behind every cynic their is a romantic".

Don't let that happen to you. Read on further and know why you should give it a chance. Bear wimme since it is a little long. :)
King Of high School doesn't bring anything new to the already established genre of romantic comedy. The plot seems predictable and the actors not veterans in their fields. What invited me in was definitely the awkward dance moves in the teasers that TvN released for this show which inspired many other upbeat teasers for many dramas by main broadcasters in Korea.
Seo In Guk certainly caught my eye and i have loved this man from his Reply 1997 days. Seo In Guk plays this high schooler who gets to be his hyung at his workplace due to some behind-the-scenes stuff happening. Romantic and office hijinks issue as the consequence of that. This drama takes some time to kick start so don't expect fireworks and instant excitement with this drama.
Seo in Guk was undoubtedly the star of the show. Every expression, every gesture and his body language genuinely expressed what he was feeling at that moment. Playing a high school kid when you are already 26 aint easy. to top it off the character of Min Suk was not easy to play. Seo In Guk played Min SUk with so much conviction that i wanted a high schooler of my own. His childish anger, his laughs,his arrogance, his smile, his pure and kind heart are all indications of a great man he is going to become. In that he is a plain contrast to the adults in the show who are too serious for their own good. Where Min Suk goes he turns everybody's lives upside down and gives them a taste of fun and cheerful stuff that life should be made of. . He is like a sun on a cold wintry morning because he brings warmth and screen presence with him. The fact that he is so handsome only adds on to this young actors talents. Did i mention how utterly awesome Seo In Guk looks when he curses? Mind blowingly hot that it makes me wanna curse too. :D
Lee Ha Na is purely a delight to see on screen. Soo Young is a total contrast to every other kdrama heroine because neither is she some naive innocent girl and neither is she worldly and arrogant. She is someone who goes all out for the ones she loves regardless of the fact that that could lead to some very awkward and downright embarrassing situations. That doesn't mean she is weak and cries all the time. She is one of the strongest heroines who knows when to open her mouth and spurt out some swear words or give some much needed advice or speak harsh words to set someone straight. Jung Soo Young will grow on you and after it is finished you will remember how strong, bubbly, lovable and adorkable she was. She is played with a lot of gusto and heart by Lee Ha Na and now im a fan.
The chemistry that Min Suk and Soo Young share is similar to having two high school kids experiencing first love for the first time. They are utterly adorable and totally childish with each other. The age gap didnt feel too much because in real life they are so close to each others ages and frankly Seo in Guk is too much like a puppy in love which just turns my heart to all time fangirl high.
The relationships in this show are the heart and soul of the whole masterpiece. The writer reminds me in a lot of ways of the writers of Reply 1997. Everybody and i mean literally everybody gets screen time in this show from the side office workers to the grandpa. The talent of a writer shows in the way they treat the show's smaller characters. The writer here gives them a life of their own irrespective of their contribution to the plot and fleshes out these characters who are least stereotypical and one-dimensional. I love the office workers who are a bunch of kids bowing to another kid. They fill the screen with lots of necessary laughs and cutesy side romances as well. This is possibly the second show after Can You Hear My Heart in which i loved Every.single.character barring just one.
The ever immortally handsome Lee Soo Hyuk came out of hiding and played a flawed and loveless man whose life is filled with thorns and after meeting the bright Soo Young understands that life is much more than money and success. His bromance with Seo In Guk is another highlight of the show and i loved all their childish quarrel, their little squabbles and bro fights.
Halbe and Min Suka should have a show of their own with the way they act like a family. The grandfather-father-son trio are a delight to look at with their sassy talks and crazy dinner table antics. Soo Young and Yoo Ah are probably the bestest of sisters in dramaland who are mature and know what family and relationships mean. The best friends of Min Suk deserve an applause for being such amazing besties who stand tall with their BFF through thick and thin.
There are no betrayals in the show. There is no villain. No bitchy women are here. No monster-in-laws. No meddling relatives. There is no action and neither any over the top stuff happening. Its just a slice of life drama unraveling before our very own eyes with a certain beauty.
Watch it if you are in mood of a little romance, some crazy laughs and adorable family relationships.

the story is refereshing where for the first time i see the heroine who's blind and lives her life simply but happily..and our hero is a brooding young man of 30..no playboy or owner of a big conglomerate.breaking away from stereotypes this movie shows the dark side of human nature and how some people rise from the shadows like phoenix rises out of its own ashes.a perfect score for the story.it has such moving scenes and so many sweet moments one could almost die with all this love in the air..:D
So Ji Sub literally breathes life into the character of Cheol min..He knows how to act and delivers a stunning performance throughout
Han hyo jo as jeong hwa is simply superb.earlier in Heaven's postman she was good but here she proved that she's a brilliant actress.this movie is the kind where after watching it,it leaves you with a happy feeling where in happiness you could almost fly.
the music is heartbreaking and simply fits in all the right places
this movie should be watched by anybody who likes beautiful cinematography,brillaint acting and strong plot..it's just such a gem of a movie not to be looked over..its one of those rare movies which will appeal even to a person who's not a romantic at heart at all.

The plot line sounds pretty average.Friends realising that at the end of the day they love each other.The drama is full of those cliches.Ex-boyfriends and Girlfriends..and other sub plots revolving around ageing and marriage but i utterly loved this drama
Berlin Chen as Li Da Ren is very handsome.He's the type of friend that any girl whould love to have.To share a can of beer over a broken heart.To be in his embrace over betrayal and to chat with him all day long and never getting bored of it.He's someone who's like a pillar of strength and that's what makes him oh so adorable
Ariel Lin is very pretty and more so here since i love her in dresses.she is not the typical dramaland heroine.She has a bad temper,is unbearable to handle and so whimsical at the same time.But she's also a workaholic who doesnt look at the time at all which is passing by.She's a career driven woman who's finally realising that life needs much more than a career and weekends spent with parents.She's feeling tht grey hairs are not to far and thats how our story follows.Frankly i wouldn't be able to handle or bear a person like her but Li Da Ren does evrything he can for this girl.They've been best friends and it shows as we follow them.They are so comfortable with each other that the heroine has taken him for granted almost
The chemitsry between the leads is good but this drama is more about friendship than love according to me.The music fits every frame and was very pleasant on the ears..:)
This drama does have its problems though.Through the first few episodes we see that Cheng You Qing needs Li Da Ren much more than he does.She's always,always asking him to be there for her while she's hardly ever there for him.Lot of time was wasted in her attraction towards her ex bf rather than focusing on the frendship.I also was too much frustrated with You Qing in the last episodes as i became to hate her there.I had hoped the writer would have given them more screen time as a couple but we kept on goin in circles and no together time was shown which is a shame since the leads look so good together.
watch it for the friedship where you'l wish you had a LI Da Ren in your life and i think the best kind of love is in friends turning to lovers so thts why i highly recommend this
cute,romantic and shows how badly we need a friend..:D

i LOVED the acting..i knew Lee Jun Ki from My Girl and he wasn't much of an actor there but here he proved me wrong which led me into stalking his other dramas...:D
he's improved a lot from his My Girl days and it shows.The guy sure can act and he made his character,the satto(magistrate) who was arrogant,exasperating and totally full of himself into this gentle and caring man so believeable.his character growth is so convincing.Those few things that one misses..you can't..if one watches this closely u'l see that LJK does not only act with his body and face but with his eyes too.So many emotions they express that only builds up the fact that he's one good actor.I loved him in traditional clothing here.especially in the mourning clothes he looked the best..:D..His fights are simply superb and add to the excitement being played at Rap music..
Shin Min Ah doesnt need an introduction at all..her name speaks for herself..she does an amazing job playing Arang.i love her kicka** personality here.i love heroines who have some spunk and lots of spark at that..who won't be deterred by the arrongant hero and cry in a corner..she's the sort where she'll talk in witty repartee..throwing the arrogant hero off..as she does here
When such accomplished actors are involved there are sure to be lots of sparks and lightining in the drama.ther sure are.The tension kept me glued to my laptop in the initial episodes where all i wanted them to do is stop with the inhibitions and just grab and kiss.the chemistry is pretty much awesome but there isnt much of it though.the romance is not the strong point of this drama but it does come around here and there to make us satisfied enough
the plot is pretty unique and delivers on all the angst and the tears and the heartbreaks that i expected this show will give me.The fantasy and the mystery element is strong and that will keep any watcher glued.
The sub plot in this one are just too interesting.Dol Soe and Bang wool's romance is just so cute.There comedic timing was perfect.Yoo Seung Ho as the jade emperor is just too awesome..never knew God could be so handsome..and then Han Jung Soo as Moo Young is very good.He brings the right emotions to his character.Kang Moon Young as Eun Oh's mother is one good actress..loved her in this.I'l miss Yon Woo Jin as Ju Wal because he's one character we can't help but sympathize with.He's vulnerable and so heartbreaking at the same time.His puppy eyes are the best and im sure he has a long way ahead of him as he can act..:)
The music score was just beautiful..flowing into the drama at the right places and made the impact of emotions all the more real.
Its hard to say that this was a flawless drama.It definately had many.It wasn't edited properly sometimes and the sets became too repetitive after some time and the fantasy element looses out in the last episodes.The story becomes dragging too as at the ending episodes everything became too serious and we missed all the comedy.
It had such potential on the romantic front but writers didnt deliver on that.I wouldn't call it a romantic drama like scent of a woman and secret garden were since it doesnt make romance its main focus,but what romance it did deliver it was good enough to hook us to our sets.The cinematography at some places was too beautiful for words.
Its the perfect drama to watch for any drama fan as it encompasses so many genres perfectly
you won't be dissapointed..go and watch it NOW..:)

This drama seeks to break many stereotypes that many dramas still follow and looks at characters and situations with a fresh light.
Park Jin Hee does a wonderful job playing Lee shin Young.She brings to the screen something fresh and i like her character a lot.She is hard working,talented and doesnt worry about unecessary stuff.She is selfish and ambitious but at the same time she actually loves and cares too.Her relationship with Han Min Jae played by our favourite Kim Bum is very nicely done.Its a younger man-older woman relationship and they play it nicely.Their chemistry is pretty good and the conflicts between them was realistic.He does everything with an enthusiasm of a 24 year old and is a usual charmer with a hint of mischief..;)
Boo Ki is another of my favourite characters from this drama.She is a very capable interior designer and owns a restaurant too.She doest mope about her life and is the most logical out of the three.She is the voice of reasons and believes love will come whenever it has too and goes about her life happily.
Jung da Jung is just a selfish brat who will sell her own soul to the devil if it means she can get a husband that way.She is utterly desperate and selfish to the core and doesnt care about others much.She still manages to grab such an awesome guy as Ban seok just shows she is manipulative and cunning to the core.
I love the friendship that is depicted here.They live close by and discuss everything and drink together and eat together and take care of each other like newly wedded couple when one is going through a breakup..:D
Choi Chul sok's character Ban seok was very funny to watch.He is loyal and sweet to the core.Perfect husband material.
I liked the love story of Yoon Sang Woo and Choi Sang Mi.Their love was something spontaneous and filled with desperation as both try to escape their life.It was sweet and beautiful at the same time.
This drama is the type one marathones through.the conflicts and misunderstandings are resolved quickly and noone mourns over the same thing for more than an episode which is a first for me.It has awesome chemistry between the leads and their respective relationships too.I wouldnt mind being in their shoes because at the end of it all of them have the best that life has to offer
This is highly recomended if you like light,feel good dramas which leave you feeling happy ..:)

Its just been few seconds since i finished this drama and I am coming here to rave about it. Let me tell you one thing and that is once you are finished with this drama you won't forget it. This is one of those sweeping dramas that are epic, heartbreaking and awesome at the same time.
The story is well written and driven and i never felt the show dragged even though my nerves did feel raw because of the heartbreak this show made me go through.
In Kim Jae Won I found an actor who is a rare gem and someone who needs to be more recognized for his acting abilities. He as Dong Joo nailed the role. I can't imagine anyone doing it better than him the role of a man who pretends to hear and when he makes a mistake just smooths it over with a smile. Jae Won is gifted with a smile that could move an iceberg. When he smiles you know you are smiling too.
What the drama did was made us realize that just because someone is handicapped doesnt mean they become less than human. The drama treated them with respect and dignity and i never felt that any of the characters were weak because of it. Dong Joo is a a guy who is strong and vulnerable at the same time. He isn't like normal kdrama heroes who are jerks but someone who loves and loves unconditionally. He loved his woman and was not a noble idiot like most heroes are. He had a warm heart that only needed some polishing by our beloved heroine.
The romance is pretty solid and Dong Joo and Woo Ri make an amazing pair and their is enough spark and cuteness in this two to make you fangirl over them like crazy. I am fangirling over them right now while writing this. They are just so cute and lovely together. Their courtship is given so much depth and intense emotion that now i am spoiled forever for any other guy but Dong Joo... :D
We have a heroine who is naive and may seem stupid but she is one of the strongest leads you will meet in dramaland. She has gone through stuff most of us would die than go through. She is gifted with a lot of heart and lot of love and she gives it unconditionally.
Bong Ma Roo is another character who i loved and hated at the same time. Dong Joo and Ma Roo can probably make a drama of their own bromance.I wish the director would give us another drama where it can be filled with these two's bromance.Their love for each other was sweet,profound and one for which they could die rather than give up upon.
Apart from strong acting and strong romance what this drama had and gave to me and taught me was that the saying "blood is thicker than water" is wrong. None of the characters in this play stay together because they have common blood between them but because they chose to love and live together and go through trials like its just another day. This drama taught that love aint ever easy but something that requires patience, sacrifice and a lot more for it to come to fruition and bring happiness.
Bong Woo Ri's family is a dream family where though they nag and swear all the time they are ready to lay lives in a second for their family. This drama teaches you so much that most people don't even take the time to look at in real life.
What this show taught me is that forgiving is not always easy but it is the first step towards healing oneself. It showed me that family is always their for your support and that is why it is a family. It showed me that loving my man is going to come with its own baggage but something that i can handle. It also taught me that every second person in this world is unhappier than me and is probably leading a more miserable life than me. What it taught me was to smile at life's folly and to take it in a stride and smile and endure and maybe after all the pain and heartbreak the sun will shine upon us and make this world a happier place.
I haven't loved characters in a long time as i have loved them in this drama. Apart from one character who is the only villain of the show i loved everyone in it. Each character grew and brought something to my 30+ hours of screen time.
The music was hauntingly beautiful and brought the emotions that the characters were feeling to the maximum. It complimented the mood of the show and with beautiful cinematography just made me sigh in happiness.
My low rewatch value is due to the fact that this is a gem better enjoyed once and not be repeated often or it will loose its essence.
I do not claim that this drama is without flaws but it is not overtly angsty and has quite a few light moments as well. I love it with its flaws and all. This drama is like a slow burning candle which gives warmth slowly but something that will last.
My 2 days that were spent in gawking/screaming/laughing at my laptop screen is evidence that this drama is not to be missed. It will fill your heart with happiness and your face with smiles.

at first look this sounds like a boring movie about the relationship between a man and a little girl but this movie goes layers deep and provides us with such a story that takes my breathe away..
Ashida Mana as Rin is spectacular and her simple yet emotional acting shows that she's got potential..lots of it..Matsuyama kenichi as Daikichi is perfect.he brings in just the right emotions and a touch of love that makes his character fullof life.throughout the movie my eyes were glued to this weird pair who keep on running trying to get Rin to school in time.the movie is so cute and adorable and at the same time capable of bringing out emotions that are hardly there in movies nowadays.it provides a different side of a father daughter relationship coz though we know its hard raising a kid alone we hardly witness it the way this shows us.it further goes on to say everything is okay as long as the little has a smile on her face.that's what is so amzing about this movie.its about the trails and tribulations and coming out of them as victorious.dialogues are sharp and full of meaning.the movie is shot beautifully too with close ups and simultaneously with long shots too.its amazing
the music is played at just the right places and if i was given a chance to recast this one..i'd definately cast the original ones coz the cast is simply perfect for this beautiful movie..:)
i recommend this to anyone who wants to see what unconditional love is in the truest and purest form possible

i rarely watch japanese because they have little romance in them but this show proved me wrong..it has just the right amount of romance mixed with perfect comedy and a tinge of philosophy added to it
just like a perfect recipe which tastes wonderful
like other dramas i had no pains in following the story..its a short drama so ther was not a single second i found it dragging or lacking.
it was filled with sharp and witty dialogues and made me laugh like crazy in some weird situations.i really love how the japaenese make ther comedies..though it rediculous but at the end of it we do laugh like ther's a comedy show goin on.
the acting department was good as Matsuda Shota and Karina were the best actors for me.Matshuda definately shines like a star though most screen time is given to Tamaki Hiroshi.he as a playboy photographer bought the most honesty among all the women he shuffled with.a very unique talent for sure. and frankly he was too good in this overcoats and white shirt.Bad boy.totally believeable
i found the character of Usami very irritating because he was too obsessive and a stalker to boot.
Mei reminded me of girls who i simply detest for the plain fact that they are too idecisive.but she's atleast bearable.yukichi on the other hand was one character who was pretty relatable.trying to buy love with money.happens all the time.
kiku rin was a very interesting character as we never know do we really see his real side or is it that its all an illusion..the guy's a mastermind in terms of pschology..wish he had met Freud..it would have been more interesting..:D
the characters wer the best iv seen..they wer just too weird for my taste and tht is the sole reason why i love them..i marathoned through the drama in just 2 days while juggling with so many assignments.no easy task.trust me....thts how awesome it was.the music picked simply fits and at just the right moments it springs up.
this drama is pretty good in the whole discussion about things which are not discussed so openly or considered a taboo.so a thumbs up for tryin to deal with such things.and its pretty original.from the plot to the characters.shuffling your partners for a week and continuing to do so every week.PERFECT
a must watch for all addicts..:)

The story is pretty original and grips one at the first moment itself.In the first half an hour it provides us with the premise of what will follow later and ties it with a good ribbon because we think tht's wht this movie will be.About finding the murderer and revenge,but its not.Its this dark psychological thriller which will stifle you and probably wring out so many emotions form you that faith in humanity will be shaken.where does one draw a line at cruelty or total evil?
This movie deals with so different issues which hardly anyone ever dares to do
Takako Matsu as yori Moriguchi is simply brilliant.The same goes for these child actors for whom performing the role will be something so dark that probably they will remember this role for a long long time.The story uses lots of going backwards and forwards so one has to piece all the info at the right place.Its pretty easy enough to follow.What's not is the twisted way evrything takes place.
Its so disturbingas it goes deep into the dark souls of humans that its hard to continue watching.but one does.there is not that much violence as to be tear inducing but what is,is the total cold bloodedness of the whole affair.
Also the way a mother protects her child.One does by having her revenge,the other wanting to kill her son for she hasnt raised him right and other who abandons one for the sake of her career.What does all this evilness come down to.The way a child is raise or is it the twisted mind in a child that's there the moment they are born
It also tells us that life is precious and not to be used nonchalantly but then again what is LIFE?
Everybody around in this movie is using it for fun,for revenge and for bullying and for what not.All it comes down to is how much we value other's life so as not to think we can murder them and get away with it.It sure changed my opinions about certain things like how the juvenile law could be twisted and used in the murderer's favour and how crimes could go unnoticed or unpunished just because it was a child who did it
They say god lives in children but what has it all come down to.Its come down to teenage problems of attention seeking and being unique an being popular so they do all these crimes.It raised questions and left me wondering around for there answers
The soundtracks throughout this movie are so fitting that it ncreases the intense way its shot.the slow songs mixed in with the slow motion just increases the cinematography to the level where its just pure beauty.Its dark.The way its shot but the play of water on the umbrella and many other brilliant scene are enough to say that il be stalking this director for sure..:D
Watch this if one is in the emood of some crazy and dark thriller which delves ito the deeper recesses of minds and leaves us feeling exhausted and made to questions our beliefs.Watch it for its pure daring or for your own understanding of the human psyche.Im sure you won't be dissapointed..:)

The plot sounds pretty cliched and has been exhausted plenty times in other dramas with the cold guy falling for our sweet hearted heroine but this one drama actually reinvents itself in many ways.
The story is pretty nicely planned out and we actually can guess where its going(no surprise there..:D) but somewhere along the way we stop analysing or using our brains while watching a drama but this one is actually pretty complex in some ways.
I LOVED how Mike He played the main guy.He's not polished in his acting even after many years(can already hear the girls screaming..) but frankly here i would say he did a good job.He's easy on the eyes and is i guess the only actor who can have chemistry with anybody, even a tree..:D
Cyndi Wang as Mei Le did a good job.She doesn't overact as much as the other TWdrama heroines tend to do.
I am a sucker for damaged leads and this one drama delivered on this aspect so nicely and in such a touching way that this one goes down in my list of favourites...i like how the leads are so flawed and how they work together to heal each other and in the process fall in love too...:)
The chemistry is mind blowing in this one,reminded me of Secret Garden so much.The leads here are so snappy and adorable with each other and at the same time that it makes one wanna go crazy over this couple.The best part of their chemistry is that its so believable how these two could easily fall for each other.How they are motivated and the reason their attitude are the way they are leaves no room for contemplation and gives us a straight forward answer.The reasons for their behavior are pretty good and how they change gradually throughout the drama is very pleasent to watch.Their scenes has this distinct beauty and a dreamy quality that is so beautiful.Their scenes together are shot pretty beautifully with the whole sunshine playing tricks on the eyes that it makes their love all the more beautiful.their were enough cutesy moments and entralling scenes to keep a romantic like me glued to my screen for hours.The best part of their relationship is the spontaneous hugs and kisses.In many dramas they come out as pretty awkward but here it seems so natural and mixed in with Yi Lei's impulsive personality and Mei le's denial makes it great.What the writer did with the toast concept and mixed it with the romance was charming
At 13 episodes this was an easy watch and didn't drag long like other dramas tend too.The story does slow down and gets burdened with angst in the last episodes but it is all worth it since its pretty heartwrenching and believable and touching at the same time.
The subplot involving the lead couple's brother and sister was too cute.i loved their love story and could understand why they fell.They are running parallel to the love story of the main couple and its cute to watch them together fighting and snapping their heads off each other.I don't have any sympathy for women like Xuan Xuan or men like Yi Feng so their parts were what i fast forwarded the most through.Xuan Xuan is annoying.period.
The music fit well thoughout the drama and the one track stood out was stick to you sang by the leading lady herself..:)
I will definately be rewatching this since all those captivating and lovable moments filled with such amazing chemistry will always leave me wanting more of this couple.
Highly recommeded for any die hard crazy romantic fan like me..:D
Trust me this will leave you wanting more and more of this amazing couple

The plot is pretty much okay with the usual girl chasing the guy but this time around the guy is more colder than the usual ones.Zhi Shu is not the type of a hero like other drama guys are who change their obnoxious personality just after they meet and later fall in love with our kind hearted and loving heroine.He's cold and indifferent to everything that goes around him and nothing disturbs his little world till the day an obsessed girl in love with him comes to his house to live with him.Now all the house is topsy turvy and he can't even have a moment's peace knowing that this little girl-child has the ability to surprise and amuse him.He changes from a emotionless guy to someone who feels tiny jealousy and actually loves bullying her around the house.I can understand where he's coming from and most of the times i was left wondering just because he's smart,intelligent and handsome doesnt mean Xiang Qin has to fall in love with him.So before i over analysed it i stopped thinking about it.Don't keep your brains with you while watching it.You'll suffer a lot because frankly just because of One sweeet thing the other mean things Zhi Shu does to Xiang Qin cannot be balanced out.A woman having any kind of pride or self respect will not suffer through so much toil as Xang Qin does and continues to suffer thrughout the drama.
I relate her obsession and child like devotion to the fact that she stopped growing after few years into her teen and remains frozen here and that is why its so cute seeing her doing dumb things and Zhi Shu smiling and smirking in the background.. ;)
Xiang Qin is pretty much a child who has a crush on this guy who's a genius in all of Taiwan and gets a perfect score each time.She's the most persistent of all and i love how much hardwork she puts into everything.Ariel Lin as Xiang Qin is so adorable and cute.She actually looks like she is 15 year old instead of being 18.The way she talks,walks,the pout,the running its all cute and that is why she shines much above than Zhi Shu can ever be.Even though she's dumb and stupid she has a heart made of Gold and thats why i feel its Zhi Shu who doesnt deserve her and not the other way around as she thinks.Both of them are flawed in their own way and its good to see that hard work actually gets you somewhere..:D
The Romance nevertheless has light moments and the not so light ones because Zhi Shu has a long road to travel before he can stop being so self centered and indifferent to others feelings and emotions. Ariel lin and Joe Cheng share one of the best chemistry onscreen because at the end of it Zhi Shu does love Xiang Qin in his own robotic and weird way.
The secondary characters served their purpose well and special mention goes to Xiang Qin's two best buddies and Jiro Wang as Ah Jin was cute though his love for Xiang Qin is the same as Xiang Qin's love for Zhi Shu.The same madness and the same obsession..:D
ISWAK gives you the feeling of having that first crush and then knowing you won't get him but nevertheless hoping that you will.The heartbreak that ensues and the other things that happen so that we can grow up and fall in love again.Maybe with the same one or a different person.Its a simple fluff comedy filled with light moments and mixed with romance to keep one fully entertained.Treat it like Cotton Candy.Eat it and savour it. . :)

Lee Min Ho has this magnetic pull but in this one this pull was increased to a whole new level.throughout the drama my eyes rarely left him.He silenced his critics with this drama,that being handsome is not all he is.he's got talent too.
This is a fairly refreshing drama dealing with action and romance at the same time.it did its job perfectly.the action sequences were good
the acting by Kim Sang Joong is amazing.i loved him as yoon sung's father.He was very convincing as the bad guy in this one.Park Min young did her job well too.the best treat out of this was lee yoon suk who as Kim young Joo won my heart.he stood out as the upright lawyer whom we could trust to always stand on the right side of the law
Min Ho as Yoon Sung was far more than a treat.it was like getting icecream topped with chocolate.He sure knows how to kick,always being one step ahead of the law.the story is pretty good too with every episode's ending we'r always kept on hanging by the cliff.its full with twists and turns where one can never guess the end.One of the best things about this drama was i saw for the first time the more than twisted love-hate relationship between a son and a father.it was intriguing.
The chemistry between the leads is full of spark.the tension between them is so palpable that the room could probably light up in fire ay moment.their romance is filled with cute moments and some bickering too.This drama has the right amount of everything-romance,action and a solid story
The OSTs are simply amazing the best one being'suddenly'.
i would not want to rewatch this because the mystery and the suspence is gone the 2nd time around but i just might watch the romance parts again because the romance bit is jst too good for words
the only flaw i found in this drama was at some point it lost all its cuteness as the romance fizzled out in the end and i was dissapointed with a few things that happened in the last few episodes
apart from this thing the drama touched all the right spots with me and remains one of the best i've seen so far

The only good thing about this show was the secondary romance.
Talking about the acting, first and foremost Yaya used to be a bearable actress when I watched her older dramas but now she has become a train wreck. She undoubtedly remains beautiful but in the acting department, all I see is a lot of crying. I cannot emphasis this enough, she cries once every 10 minutes in the show. Apart from that she faints and falls and clumsily acts as if she doesn't eat enough food. However, her character is strong and thick skinned when it comes to everyone criticising her and shaming her for everything. There is such level of slut-shaming in this show that it was beyond saving. That too without any evidence. The hero's lack of respect is the worst. It's like being in a relationship with a partner who keeps calling one a prostitute. He never accepts or apologies. The last minute begging isn't enough for me to forgive Thit's character.
Anger and aggression doesn't suit Mark in the least and this leads to such bad acting on his part that I was horrified. His character is beyond redemption in the show and quote illogical. Thit and his sister are the most illogical people in the show. There was a lot of unnecessary screaming and screeching and shoving people into doors in this show. Hated Jee's mother. Thankfully we are saved from any forced intimacy in this show from the leads parts which is a saving grace if there is any.
Plot: The plot seems very interesting on paper but its execution is sadly very lacking. This show had potential but then the melodrama and unnecessary jealousies turned it into a pathetic attempt at a revenge drama. It could have been so so good but alas!
Watch it if you want to claw your eyes out with frustration.
Recommended for people who like a badly executed story, bad acting, lots of crying and screaming and sub-power romance. An okay watch if watched without expectations (I had many because of the hype and sadly disappointed due to it)
