Not only because it's cute or 'cause the actors act quite well...it reminds our generation of our 1st!!! idol!
Foreigners wouldn't be able to imagine how great their popularity was at that time.
There was really nobody who didn't know who "HOT" and "Jackskiss" were.
Watching the drama, it feels like going back to the old good times and especially the music and the songs in the drama sounds familiar.
In Korea this drama is now quite an issue and people are saying that if this drama was broaded on MBC/SBS/KBS and not tvN it would definitly have had more public interest than it already has.
I really recommend you to watch this drama, although I haven't watched the whole drama yet^^

This drama is packed with romance and comedy. I swear this drama had me dying from laughter the whole time, the cast was just awesome.
I will for sure miss the F40's bromance.
Definitely a must watch!!!!

It is quite annoying to find that the story of this particular special focuses on a story that is supposed to happen somewhere in the middle of the original-run, which further ruins some plot details of the original story. Though it is a good thing that it gave conclusion to some of the "unfinished" details in the drama, including Nakatsu's Love for Ashiya.
Seeing the whole Hana Kimi 'gang' on the screen, and seeing them act together, would surely put a smile on every viewers on this show. Somehow, it clearly manifests in their scenes that everyone is comfortable acting with everyone else, which further gives the drama an advantage.
Though this particular special, tries to close any loose end of the drama, which I believe it successfully did, watching it for the second one would be quite a challenge - taking into account that a 2-hour special can never reach the hype the whole series attained.
Nevertheless, this special would be like a "dessert" for all of the Hana Kimi Fans out there.

Story: First, everything about the drama after the first sentence of the synopsis is misleading. In fact it just gives a summary of the main female characters background (everything that happens to her before the time that the drama takes place). Everything that happened during the dramas run was so unpredictable, which I never expect from family themes dramas. I don’t want to give anything away but be prepared for a ton of drama. What I liked most about it though was the fact that the writers balanced the funny scenes with the emotional stuff really well. I laughed a lot in the beginning but by the last few episodes towards the end it gets pretty heavy making me shed many tears. I just wanted to add that there is romance in this but its very subtle and not the focal point of the story. The ending is sad, happy, and hopeful all in one if that makes sense.
Actors/Cast: This was an ensemble cast where all the characters get a chance to shine even if they only had small roles. When it comes to the 2 female leads, I had never seen anything they had acted in before but wow you can tell they are veterans. They gave powerful performances. Anyone who has ever heard of Shin Hyun Joon (Stairway to Heaven, Cain and Abel, Bridal Mask) will know what an amazing (and underrated in my opinion) actor he is but wow his character in this was so unexpectedly different than any of his characters. As for the supporting cast, they made their characters memorable and the villains did a tremendous job of me hating them but also feeling pity for them by the end.
Music: They did a pretty good job with matching the changing tone of the show.
Rewatch: I will rewatch this one day sometime soon but not right away cause this drama is pretty heavy.
Overall Dummy Mommy is an unexpected but heartwarming and enjoyable must watch family drama.

Story: I extremely love how the concept, storytelling, writing and characterization were full of creativity and uniqueness. You’ll never miss a single smile per episode, the opening scenes were like appetizers, it sets the mood in a fun way, every flashback has a story, it’s great to see how they formed and maintain their brotherhood through the years. The story mainly dealt on the 4 main casts friendship, romance and careers.For me, they offer the ultimate story of real friendship; through thick and thin they’re solid, when caught in several mischiefs, they cover up for one another and if they happen to hurt the other, though it’s hard, they forgive. When the four unites, whether they drink, play or have some issues to take care of, the way they handle their talks will make you laugh at some point. Another good point of this drama was the balanced use of limelight for all of the characters, it stays strong that the 4 gentlemen were really the center of the story. Every individual shines on their own, each of the gentleman had their conflict to resolve, no one overshadowed the other though it’s clear from the beginning that the main romance will revolve on Kim Do Jin and Seo Yi Soo . Each one has a romance to follow, they were engaging and it’s mostly on a mature tone which is expected; we were dealing with middle-aged man in the first place, however if I may pick on the best love story of the four , I would choose the one who has the story of first love, their love was simply wonderful . The chemistry of all the couples were greatly seen, I’m always betting for all of them to have their own happy endings, they looked attractive couples on screen. The ending was unexpected and fun! What an outrageous yet very sweet proposal, who wouldn’t say yes to it? Honestly, the ending made this show a 10 for me.
Acting/ cast: Well, the utilization of the 40 year old gentlemen as main casts were already daebak for me, it’s original and interesting already and that made me watch this show . How they blend perfectly as to how the story unfolded made the story even better. In my opinion, no other casts would have done their roles better than them. To make it simply, the characters they portray fit them with every emotion they show was credible, no complaints at all.
Music: The songs were melancholic, sometimes fun, sometimes sweet. Well there’s distinctive song here which was a first for me to hear. I don’t know if it’s the OST because it’s mostly played but it’s a first to hear a song in a Korean drama having an English lyrics. It’s good and another good deviation from the usual Korean music scores.
Rewatch Value: I rarely rewatch, but this deserves a high rewatch value for me.
Overall: A great unique drama. Different in a lot ways but share a deep bond within themselves, having same passion of loving their women – these gentlemen , who wouldn’t love them? :)

first of all i really liked the idea of an idol playing himself. the story didn't have any big suprises, but it had a nice flow of events and was very enjoyable. it's interesting to see the behind the scenes life of a star and lets face it: we all want to see them being humans, just like you an me, sometimes.;)
i have liked nishikido ryo for a while, but still i was surprised by his acting: i think he is a truly great actor! i loved the kids, especially mei-chan, her character was played really well. the whole family atmosphere was very nice, crazy and fun, like they were a real family.
what i was missing was:
the love-story between nishikido and haru-chan. i mean, okay it was set up that they were already in love, then married and it showed all the problems that come with being in a family. but maybe a few more hugs or a little kiss on the cheek sometimes would have been nice. i really loved the relationship of nishikido and the kids. but they got more love and body contact from him than their own mom! poor haru-chan^^° yeah so basically missing the feelings between the main couple. but okay, i get it.. it's more a family drama and not a romantic love story.
also i think they could have had a little bit more of the guest star thing. it was fun and it would have been a nice fan-service!also the rest of kanjani8 should have at least met nishikido's family.
even though i am not a big fan of kanjani8 maybe they could have showed more of them being in a concert or.. dunno.. doing fun stuff together. but i guess there is enough of that in japanese tv already.^^°
the music was mostly from kanjani8 of course and went very well with the story.
i wouldn't rewatch it... unless i am missing my family and want to see another family having fun...or i want to see nishikido ryo's face :P
all in all it was a nice family drama with funny and touching moments. i'll recommend it to anyone who wants to take a break from overly emotional love stories and of course to fans of nishikido ryo!;D

There's nothing to say much about the cast, they played their characters perfectly to the point where it was easy to get irritated, to laugh, cry along with them. Each and every actor brought their characters to life in style and color.
The Music was just a perfect match to each of the situation they were supposed to be matched with.
I would totally recommend this drama if you are looking for a well adjusted drama about life that's clean funny and relaxing. Even if you are not in your 40's this drama is written so beautifully that it's easy for anybody to actually relate to and be like "oh that could so totally be me."
SO in clear if you are looking for a funny well adjusted and well written drama there you have it try this one just take a sit back and be charmed by all those oppas who are going to make you feel like life is just oh so well good ...

However, after watching few episodes of this drama, I got excited and always anxious what will be the next episodes!
I love the story plot. Smart, funny but not too much. Romantic but not ridiculous. Everything is just right. Smooth and interesting.
And of course Cha Seung Won is as charming as always.

Story: 8/10
The characters and actors did a really good job. The only character that seemed flimsy was male female lead. Ugh, so much aegyo. You get over it. Everyone else was really good. I enjoyed the witchy-ness from the lead antagonist.
Characters/actors 9/10
Music was outstanding. It will get stuck inside of your head. Awesome. Loved it.
Music 10/10
Rewatch? I wouldnt. Not because its bad, but because I don't rewatch.
Overall 8/10

A Gentleman's Dignity is by far the best drama I've watched.
Ever.
No fancy CG, no time traveling, no flashy actors (because we've all watched dramas JUST for the actors. Well, I bet some BOICE were watching this for Jonghyun. But that's besides the point), no annoying mothers or jealous & bratty girls in the way. (Well, I mean there's a little bit, but it's not like it drives the whole drama unlike some OTHER dramas...)
The storyline is very original. Instead of being completely centered around young people in their 20s or little children with some family trauma, this focused mainly on people who are older, but not necessarily wiser than youths. Although some of the arguments that took place at the beginning of the drama were seldom redundant/just plain annoying, it taught me about love in many different aspects/point of views. First loves, one-sided love, unstable relationships, and hesitant romances; You get all of those and more rolled into one drama. As a bonus, I found myself laughing and crying while watching each episode. (Though I swear I didn't cry as much as Im Meahri LOL). Some parts of the storyline are predictable, but a majority had me at the edge of my seat, screaming, "WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING?!" And boy, do I enjoy a good plot twist or twenty. And kudos to the writers, they sure know what we want in terms in romance. I wanted to push DoJin down a flight of stairs for being so romantic. The best thing about this drama? Probably the intro scenes. They set the mood and are just hilarious.
As for the cast, A+. Dong Gun's acting was superb. One moment, he's a chic, cool man who knows how to playoff difficult situations. In the next, he's this aegyo fueled dork that makes me want to cry because he's so adorable. His facial expressions were enough to set the mood of the scene, whether it be serious of playful. As for HaNeul, the way she portrayed her character was excellent. Although some of her scenes made me cringe, this woman knows how to act as a girl who's confused about her love life. Most actresses who try usually come off as fake or weak to me, but HaNeul acted in a more realistic sense. MinJong, SooRo, and Jonghyuk, I applaud to you. They played their roles well (although in SooRo's serious situations, he made the FUNNIEST faces, and just made me burst out laughing instead of sympathize), and they had amazing chemistry with each other as well as their "partners." Despite SeRa's character being such a bother in the beginning, I believe it helped get the chemistry going between the main couple, so I'm grateful for that, and so SeAh deserves a cookie or two for playing such a role. I mean, even though it's a typical role, it's never easy to play the angry best friend. I absolutely LOVED JungNan's character & acting. At one point, it just wanted to give her a hug and tell her to just let it out. When it came to, I just say there and whispered, "She's broken. You broke her," and kind of felt extremely depressed. Now JinYi.... goodness, a lot of people hated on her. But guys, she didn't write the script. She didn't decide that she would be SUCH a crybaby. So despite her bothersome role, she deserves a pat on the back for getting those tears to flow so well. Now for the younger "kids." Ugh WooBin is such a cutie. But seriously, he acted his role well as the strong but sensitive kid. And Jonghyun, for a debut actor, not bad. I mean sure, you're a sarcastic jerk with a gorgeous smile and voice, and omg when he speaks Japanese I swoon every time. His aura is consistent, but sometimes his emotions don't reflect well with the situation (don't hate me, I'm a BOICE guys ;A;)
There's great variety in the music and the background music suits the scenarios well. I could go more in depth about this, but let's just say I've downloaded every song and this is most likely on my top 5 favorite drama OSTs. It's a mix of indie, english, ballad, and k-pop (Juniel is now considered k-pop, right?)
Seriously, I NEVER, EVER rewatch dramas, not matter how much I love the drama. But I would consider rewatching this. Why? Because it moved me. It made me laugh, cry, sympathize, but more importantly, made me question how my own life is. The only reason I rated it down a bit is because I would skip over some of the BFF drama. (Because I have enough of that in real life orz)
To sum it up, this drama is realistic. It's romantic. It's touching. It's hilarious. It's filled with lessons that are worth taking away and can be applied to my own life. Not to mention that despite those men being in their 40s, they are quite the attractive and charismatic bunch. And guess what? THE ENDING DOESN'T DISAPPOINT. AT ALL. Not that I was expecting it be a BIG disappointment (did you see what I did there?)
So if you're still reading this review and are hesitating about this drama, WATCH IT. LIKE RIGHT NOW.

The story is very mature with its content, but the predicaments they get into are kept at a minimum . The problems that these characters face are pretty common and I’m sure anyone can relate to any one of the characters. I love the friendships especially with the main male actors. Even the side characters in this drama add to the main storyline. So many times the side characters distract or are meaningless to the story. The characters are consistent in their actions and the story flows smoothly. At the beginning of every episode there is a usually comedic interaction between the main male characters. The only drawback is that when they play flashbacks to their former selves ; they aren’t younger. If you look past that and just enjoy how funny it is, then it is all good. The ending is stellar and everything is wrapped up in a pleasant package.
The acting is really good too. I know the male leads are not typical. Their ages range from 38 to 42. It may just be because I’m older, but I found them more attractive than some of the younger actors these days. It isn’t necessarily because of their looks although I do find them physically attractive also, but because of their developed acting ability. The women were also very appealing for both reasons. There are many characters in this drama, but the ones that stood out for me are Jang Dong Gun as Do Jin and Kim Jung Nan as Min Sook. They weren’t a couple in this drama, but I think they have the complete package as actors. Don’t get me wrong; the other actors are good too. There are great cameo appearances by Sooyoung from Girls Generation, Singer/actor Jung Yong Hwa from CN Blue and Kim Kwang Gyu who has been in a lot of dramas. For the younger people, Lee Jong Hyun from CN Blue acts as Colin and Kim Woo Bin is also in this drama. They play minor but important roles to the main story. Especially Colin.
The music is awesome. If you get the chance, then you should totally check it out and add it to your playlists even if you don’t watch the drama. Seriously!!!
Overall I would say this is a must see drama for all those that enjoy romantic comedies. I loved and will eventually rewatch it.
