This is a drama about a family and their stories. It is not about rich people. It is about working class people and their everyday struggle with life. It has lots of touching moments. In almost every episode I have laughed, cried, been given food for thought and felt my heart warm. There is so much depth in the stories and a lot of them are things that people may face in real life.

It is worth watching. I only wish I could find a copy of the main theme song. The words of the song really tell you what the show is all about.

I loved this drama! It's so cute and funny! But the best part is that it is so short that I was able to fit it into my busy schedule! I mean if you watch it non-stop you'll be over with it in about two and a half hours. But even for such a short drama, it's pretty good and memorable and you do feel connected to the characters.

Story: The story is really sweet, short and cute. It's easy to follow and there's humor but there's also sadness. Some parts are easy to relate to and I love the way it all plays out. If you want something practical then you should skip out on this one. But if you are okay with something absurd yet funny then you should definitely watch this!

Cinematography: I was very much impressed by the cinematography. Each scene was shot in such a way that it really brought out the feeling you, as a viewer, must be experiencing. I especially enjoyed that scene in which Gi Yeok and Min Ah are running to get to Min Ah's exam on time. The way they jumped from scene to scene was really fun to watch.

Actors/Characters: Everyone was great! I was very surprised with Sungyeol's acting! He did a wonderful job, both as Gi Yeok and the loan shark. Gi Yeok was so adorkable! I really enjoyed his character! Jihyun was good too, as Min Ah. Her acting wasn't mind blowing but she wasn't that bad either and her character was cute. All the side characters were so absurd and funny! Gi Yeok's friends were hilarious! I didn't even recognize Clara until I saw on MDL that she was in the drama! She was better here than in anything else I have seen her. She did a really great job! All the drama club folks were good (and funny) too and the guy who played Min Ah's husband did awesome acting!

Overall: This was a really fun drama to watch! I really enjoyed it. It has a cute story, good acting, and lots of humor! It's more on the mature side, in terms of the jokes and the language, but the content in itself is really sweet and reminds you of your first crush/love.

I now see why this show was one of the oustanding stars of the 2013 drama scene.

Firstly, if you have any knowledge of a real legal system, please suspend all belief. As a law graduate myself, I initially found it hard to sit through court proceedings in the show and discussions about legal issues, because I couldn't stop ranting at the screen about how unrealistic it was.

The 2 lead characters are fabulously crafted. I especially appreciate Hye Sung (Lee Bo Young). She doesn't fit the conventional female lead in a drama - she is feisty, honest, and doesn't stand for any BS. We have waited so long for a lady who can do things for herself, knows what she wants, and says what she wants (well most of the time).

This show not only has a compelling lead couple - its supporting characters have stories of their own to tell and they really shine. Those worth mentioning are Kwan Woo (Yoon Sang Hyun), Doyeon (Lee Da Hee) and Hye Sung's mum (Kim Hae Sook). Not only do they each stand for certain principles and characteristics that are essential to the two lead characters' growth; by the end of the show, Kwan Woo and Doyeon, in particular, evolve as human beings and legal officers to become better people.

There are several funny moments throughout the show, and tear-jerking ones too. The ending is satisfying and full of hope for the future for all the characters. Very importantly, NO MOMENTS OF NOBLE IDIOCY.

The only flaw is the show sometimes spent too much time in court, with our characters going through their legal arguments, which we are already familiar with, and that sometimes made me turn off for a bit.

Nice one! Loved the cast - no let-downs at all. I don't have a favorite member of the cast, they all did a great job.Story lines inter-weaved and tied nicely together at the end. I tend to focus on character development (which I think is an integral part of any drama) and this is another prime example of a great Japanese drama (and another reason why I don't like the dramas in my own country...as they fall down substantially in this respect).

This is a drama for adults, so there are plenty of issues and discussions for adults to think about, but its a nice slice of life drama. Action well-paced and just kept me going until the end, no boring parts, no long and drawn out episodes (like in some k-dramas) and no over-doing sobbing or extending crying sessions.

I liked this one and would watch it again. Go try it!

You know that awkward moment when you watch a drama almost all the way through with only two episodes remaining, and then realize you done screwed right the frack up? Well, welcome to my world. Wild Romance was a wacky, adorable fun ride...until it turned into an overly melodramatic, randomly angsty hellscape.

The premise of our heroine being a tomboyish bodyguard to a pompous rich athlete had all the makings for romantic comedy gold...and it delivered. Eun Jae was a tough amusing bad-ass and her contentious bickering relationship dynamic with Park Moo Yul was fun and perfect. The antagonist subplot was interesting but well balanced within the overall story, the secondary characters were phenomenally unique and the drama was perfect..until the whole thing derailed somewhere around episode 9? 12? I don't know which, and frankly I'm not sure exactly what happened. I DO know that the minute our heroine realizes she's fallen for the lead, she turns into this sappy, overly emotional dork that feels so out of left field that it gave me whiplash. When heroines abandon their personalities upon realized love, my patience with a drama starts dropping fast.

The acting in this series was absolutely amazing, so I'm pretty sure the fault lies almost entirely with the script writers. When Wild Romance went from a fun romantic comedy to a downright Makjang-meets-irritating-heroine I was out. I only had two episodes left but I couldn't stomach any more, especially when considering how random Park Moo Yul's confession to Eun Jae felt, her subsequently turning into even MORE of a weirdo, all the while the secondary cast are running amok like an out-of-character flock of whackadoodles. After all that, I just had to bail.

IF this drama had toned down the angst they'd ramped up midway through the drama, and IF they had kept Eun Jae's character dynamic to a believable confident women who can kick ass and not be bothered with names, as opposed to the vomit-inducing punchline she so frequently later felt like, then I'd be singing this drama's praises. It didn't rely on cliches, all of its characters, including bit characters and its antagonists, were amazingly interesting, the premise was fabulous, and the acting rocked everything but the rafters. Too bad the peak and execution of the second half of the drama crash landed into a Volcano.

This drama is a poorly done version of the 'Indecent Proposal' concept. It started off interesting, but quickly turned into a...two-month long...victim-filled...train wreck. Since the plot is based on blurring the lines of a loving marriage, a delicate approach is needed so the viewers are not repulsed as the story progresses. And unfortunately, that did not happen. Instead, the quietly sadistic and destructive nature of Yoo Se Young becomes even more infuriating, when an abrupt shift in the plot takes place to focus on her as a victim. I had high hopes for this drama, but it ended up being one disappointment after another.

I don't want to comment on the acting because of how this drama was written and directed. I would like to see them all in better dramas that would showcase their acting skills more. The OST had some really great songs that are purchase worthy.

Is there a difference between the fiction of facts and the facts of fiction? The question poses an etiological conundrum philosophers have tried in vain to answer since the beginning of recorded time. Is anything real? Or, in other words, is everything an illusion?

Who cares is what I say. Just do it: Fall in love, slay your enemy, assess Miss Ripley.

Not bad is my initial reaction.

A drama appeals to its viewer in one of two ways: 1) It grants the viewer a portal into an alien world or 2) It acts as a mirror to the viewer's own world.

To me, Miss Ripley is a case of the former, and I thoroughly enjoyed the depiction of a con artist from a seedy underworld who manages to make fools of the upstanding and the respectable. A drama, however, cannot sustain itself on shock value/edgy content alone. As it often happens in life, the lies with which the con artist gets away with murder catch up to her, and it's here where the drama stretches the seams of plausibility past their resiliency threshold.

Or perhaps I'm being too cynical.

I'll close by paying my complements to the composer of the haunting piano piece the drama features when Kim Seung Woo's character uncover's the titular heroine's seedy past.

I have never felt so confident in a K-Drama's perfection as I have with It's Okay It's Love. From the very first episode to the very last, I watched with anticipation and angst to reach the end and see how everything unravels.

First off, the story progression was absolutely great. It was nicely paced without giving everything away too quickly. A lot of things could have gone wrong with its progression but the writers avoided all my concernsl. If they changed the focus of the plot to tackle some of the slightest story lines that they left untouched, it would have hurt the overall plot progression, but whomever wrote the script is a genius.

Secondly, the cast was great. With each drama I watch, I keep saying "oh God this cast is great," but end up somewhat feeling like I forced myself to say that. However, with this cast, I instantly saw the chemistry and knew that they were having fun with it. They weren't forcing themselves to play the role. Instead, it came naturally and that's the beauty of this cast. Also, the love between all the couples was refreshing. As a dude, I would normally cringe at this stuff, but the more K-Dramas I watch, the more I become inclined to smile at a good K-Drama couple when I see one and this drama was no exception. Love was all throughout the air, and I need to kindly ask to borrow some of it (and So Nyeo if that's alright).

Music wise, K-Dramas never tend to fully grip me with their soundtrack choices, but damn, this one made all the right choices. For the first ten episodes, the dramas usage of music was flawless. The songs put at each scene were cleverly chosen, and I applaud the PDs for that because some dramas choose pretty good songs, but either use them at the weirdest spots or over use them. As the show progressed, especially in the last four episodes, certain songs were being over used, but they were still being utilized well. The OST was ridiculously good and that goes for the BGM all throughout the show, too.

Lastly, for re-watch value, I give this one a 9, but honestly I never re-watch a drama, but this one is probably going to change that. I might re-watch this bad boy during Christmas time or something, but I never thought I would ever find myself saying "oh I'm going to re-watch this drama."

Overall, ridiculously good drama. Execution, writing, camaraderie, this show has it all. If you ever are contemplating whether to watch this, stop because It's Okay, That's Love is a worthy sixteen-hour long ride,

Im actually sad that the show has ended. I finished it in a week could've been less if i wasnt working. This was just full on comedy, the show shoulda been called haraboji. He was the center of everything and everyone. From ep 1 to 30, u wil probably hate the jungins and some others but from ep 30 on things start changing and people change. Just like other dramas, the mother in laws were the same, all mean and cruel but the love btwn hyunsoo and jungin was strong, they didn't waver. My favorite thing about the show is how secrets never stayed a secret.it always came out the next episode mostly coz of jungin and hansae.
my jung kyung ho.- I've loved him since cruel city. He was so cold i dont think he ever smiled whereas in this show he was always smiling and goofy. I cant believe he's the same guy. His acting and laughter at the beginning episodes was just slapstick. He was really hopelessly in love it was so cute. He loved with his heart and used his head for his work. He really adored her he got morning sickness.
Jungin- i couldnt stand her in big and some others coz of her childish acting but this role was perfect for her. She was the sunshine in the show, sassy mouth and strong attitude. She was determined and cute and an adorable couple. Cant believe she ended up marrying my bias lee byung hoon, he probably fell for her charm and shes young too
Mr jungil- in the beginning we love to hate him then we end up hating to love him. This man was just a mess all the way to the last episode. So annoying u want to get rid of him but he was just a leech . He was getting worse by the minute esp when he gets money or uses jungin through hansae or he finds out a secret.
Mrs jungin- what kind of mother was she, she was so frustrating to watch coz of her princess syndrome. Then she starts narrating a poem and u look around like wtf, three sentences and voice change. It was funny though
Haraboji- real great acting. How could such an old man steal the show with his authority. The latter episodes were so emotional i was balling and i felt the pain and happiness of the family as he was going through his ordeal. His best friend joonbae is always hilarious in all his shows.
Another extra that was worth mentioning was hyunsoos classmates. She was there for like three last episodes but she just made me laugh at how she tore up hansaes mom with English words. "Chogyo, I see i shee, anyway"
The ost in the beginning of the episodes was just as chaotic as the show
Btw jisu and sung joon started dating after the show and now they are married and with a kid

Simply: liked this! Didn't look that much exciting to be honest from the story line but the story flowed well and the characters developed along with the flow. Loved Jang Hyuk - he doesn't disappoint in all his dramas/films; loved the lady lead and the second leads. I wouldn't have put them together but they seemed to fit in well and there was chemistry between them.

This is a drama that focuses on the feelings and character development, the thoughts and emotions - and that's what I thought was refreshing. Some dramas seem a bit unbelievable but this one felt as if it could happen in real life... and so realistic that it could happen to someone. Loved the music too - I sometimes don't like dramas with too many songs but this had its faithful few and they brought on the emotions at the right time.

Nice!

I have existed in a whirlwind for the past few months while watching this series, and I’ve just landed on solid ground. So to speak, I’ve been on a journey with this series, and needless to say, It’s Okay, That’s Love (IOTL) deserves nothing but the highest recognition and commendation as possible. I hope this show is commemorated for not just being popular or well liked, but also because it is a meaningful piece of work, and I haven’t fallen in love this hard with a drama’s premise and writing since Secret Garden. This will be a long review, so just a heads up!

I was glued to this series immediately. This one was just too fantastical; lots of motion and commotion right from the beginning of the series to the end. I liked the flow of events, and it didn’t feel like anything in particular was dragging on. I can imagine people thinking differently, and you’re entitled to your opinion, but this series to me is just like winning the lottery in drama heaven (and I will detail why). At the risk of gushing about this romcom, I will attempt to keep a review compact. From my point of view, IOTL is a brilliant piece of work, from script writing to directing, acting and music; I just loved it, and I will attempt to convince anyone to give this drama a try because it certainly doesn’t disappoint.

STORY:
Tragic. Hilarious. Endearing. One of a kind. Honestly, I cannot begin to put into words how versatile this story is. What I can say is that is it multifaceted. In those moments, the story becomes an enriching journey for the audience into the lives of those living their day to day life with an impact from mental illness or working within the field of mental health. What I enjoyed the most about this story is that it wasn’t a solely medical drama that pathologized its patients. This series exposed, explored, and discussed the often stigmatization of patients with mental illness. There were lived experiences and individuality in this story, and it made the series wholesome, often challenging social norms. I found myself more connected to it within the “meat” of the story because the characters are involved in the main premise, which is dealing with/coping with/understanding/healing from emotional/psychological pains. Within this drama, the romance and comedy are embedded in ways that the story manages to progress between leads by conveying serious social issues with a serene and genuine feel for caring about those in your life.

CHARACTERS:
Jang Jae Yeol: What a charismatic, multidimensional one. It does help that Jo In Sung gave an award winning performance consistently. But Jae Yeol, as a character, is complex: you love him some moments; question him in others, worry about him, and viscerally his own conflicting emotions with the relationship to his family, in particular, the complicated relationship he has with his brother. The hostility, and painfully evident wounds of his past of violence is something that makes Jae Yeol a person that evokes major ethos on the audience’s minds. I do think Jae Yeol’s unraveling and mysterious past (as it unveils) makes one feel, as Hae Soo would, a part of his world. Sharing a piece of his identity, and understanding how mental health and violence have impacted him; and how the two are linked and unfortunate.

Ji Hae Soo: IOTL had me at Gong Hyo Jin. I am her bias, and the reason why I watched IOTL was because 1) it was her first drama after the Master’s Sun; one of my favourite drama’s, and 2) because GHJ is arguably one of the most talented actresses in South Korea (and I would personally argue from my perspective, much deserving of global recognition). That being said, if you seen her in other drama’s, regardless of your feelings towards her, one of the reasons that drew me to the story line was because her work involves picking series that matter, that have meaning and controversy, or at least from what I know about GHJ is the ingenuity of the role. She, as far as I’m concerned, I knew this was going to be amazing before it started because she only involves herself in projects that are insightful, eye opening, and unique. Hae Soo was such a delight on screen, and GHJ was cast perfectly for this role. She was bright, independent, and not easily swayed by stereotypical male lead romancing. She has a good head on her shoulders, and given the fact that she’s flawed in this series, just like everyone else, I felt like she was quite a humane person.

The secondary characters were in no way “secondary” to this series because they were wonderfully emotionally and psychological a part of this series, and contained a lot of depth. Ohh the feels for these characters, overall just… amazing. A memorable, unforgettable cast. I can’t deny this the reason what makes this series so special, and it’s because everyone has their own story to tell. Each and every actor playing their role fit it perfectly.

SOUND/OST: It had a charming flare to it; the opening jazzy but fun opening; it made the series feel fun and intuitive. The music in the series, especially the “I don’t wanna be a hero” themed song really tied into the metaphoric element into the series. Overall, the music was conveyed well by the ocean of emotions in this series. Indefinitely, it’s heart wrenching. I do think the OST reflects the overall feel and mood of the characters, and I respect the fact that the series wasn’t overwhelmed by music; it was a nice addition to it.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: It’s just such a story that is so open minded to the point where you feel welcomed into the story. You’re invited into these people’s lives which are far from being perfect, but that’s what makes it worthwhile. This drama offers such a refreshing feel to it in the sense that the plot development is often quirky and fun, yet it can be serious and heart breaking. All the same, I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys great script writing. Because what you get in IOTL is the whole package. Well articulated thoughts and ideas, and the strong sentimentality behind the screen of what we view socially and culturally as mental health, which I think is truly important. Aside from the gorgeous camera work; the skinship in this series and romance just oozed appeal. Fireworks and screen chemistry galore between the two main leads; it was, dare I say, sometimes just too sexy (if that’s even possible), yet also very beautiful in others. Needless to say, the leads connection was not only convincing but it was definitely heated. I loved that this series has characters close and engaged with one another; there were many life lessons to learn and understand from the simplistic ways in which the world spins. In particular, how easy it is to judge as much as it is easy to accept, how much courage it takes to love or try to love, and how much will one forgive a person or the world for such pains they/it cause you. Therein lies the ability and question of forgiveness, and forgiving yourself and others. Yes, you don't want to miss this one folks!

This was a fun little watch. It's an episode of Drama City, and starts Lee Joon Gi back when he was first starting out. He plays a young man who is basically a slacker and spends his time goofing off instead of studying. His mother is very sick in the hospital and his father is always disappointed in him. He ends up travelling back to 1979 where he meets his parents as teenagers.

Acting wise, it's not that great. You can tell just how incrediably far Lee Joon Gi as come since then, but I still really enjoyed watching him in this. The other actors are about the same. There are no stellar performances here, but that's to be expected. The music is eh, except for the '70's music, like The Animals and the Bee Gees. Also, as an added bonus, I got to see Lee Joong Gi disco dancing to Staying Alive. That alone made watching this worth it! :p

I actually watched this with my kid and he really liked it. It's only an hour long, so I could even see myself watching it again, perhaps. I do recommend it to others, especially other Lee Joon Gi fans, just so you can see how he was back in the day. Overall, I give it a 7.5.

“Not impressed” would be the right expression to describe my overall feelings about this season. It wasn’t a total let-down but God’s Quiz 4 failed to deliver that last blowing punch like its prequels.

I am really a good fan of the God’s Quiz series; it’s one of rarest medical dramas that I can handle with full joy. It also focuses on forensic medicine which is my real life field of study. Although they can dramatize it but centring the investigation procedural on finding criminals and the blowing mystery for each season were definitely my favourite parts of the whole series.

At some point, I began to wonder if it’s the same writer who delivered the previous thrilling mysteries. Did he lost his touch or something? Maybe stretching the story to four seasons’ length can actually affect his writing style and ideas. For starters, the rare diseases weren’t exactly that complicated but I can be lenient with that side because I am medicine major so I could’ve figured most of them in one glimpse and they didn’t write this for people who know about the field. However, what I could not forgive was the main plot; it was plain boring and predictable that you can’t call it a mystery any longer. It’s unlike the previous seasons where the two (or three) last episodes were too exciting and suspenseful. God’s Quiz 4 was unsuccessful in building the thriller suspenseful part.

The individual cases were pretty much acceptable, many of them managed to reach the satisfying level and even went further above it. I believe that what gives this season a good slack but it’s a fact that some of them weren’t even that interesting. Something else bothered me on a personal level: Romance. I know that many people like to insert that part everywhere but I always thought that OCN crime thrillers don’t need that, because most of the people who come to watch are here for the thrills not for the lovey-dovey part. That’s one of the reason why the 3 rd season is my favourite.

The acting was fine; Ryu Deok Hwan and Yoon Joo Hee were good as usual. Even their characters witnessed some pretty good developments such as Dr. Han’s background and Detective Kang’s feminine side. I can’t say the same about the two idol additions; I really don’t see why they were casted for this type of drama. Idol acting don’t suit this sort of drama at all even if their characters were well-written. That super Junior dude was so awkward throughout the whole drama and the girl next to him wasn’t any better.

The cinematography played a very good part in this drama even of it wasn’t different from the previous seasons. I can’t exactly remember the music note so you can guess the rest.

Watch if:
-You liked the previous season but don’t expect a lot from this.
-You like Medical/Forensic/Mystery dramas.

Do not watch if:
-Just don’t watch this unless you saw all the previous seasons.

God’s Quiz Season 4 wasn’t exactly that captivating but it wasn’t a total bore either. Now, I would like OCN to make an end for this series; stretching it more than this will be over-doing in a very bad way. It was a good run; I hope this will be my last goodbye with the God’s Quiz series.

It has been over a year since I watched a TDrama to completion.The TDrama industry has experienced a slump in the past year or so. Therefore, it is with much relief that I write this review. Rock 'n' Road somewhat restored my hope in TDrama. Hopefully, it will be the first of a series of good TDramas coming our way as we move into 2015.

Story: It is a simple story about a woman who was once a child star and a man who is the best music producer in the industry. The female lead plays a woman who is always positive and cheery. No matter what comes her way, she would smile and shrug her way through. Initially, her overly positive disposition was criticised by the male lead as he viewed her as being ignorant and stupid to the point of being taken advantaged of. Later, he realised that smiling and brushing negatives aside casually is her way of coping with losses in her life and he developed a respect for her. When he was betrayed by his best friend and rejected by his girlfriend of 8 years, the female lead stayed by his side cheering him on. He, in turned, staked his entire career on coaching the female lead into stardom again.They developed a comfortable friendship at first which quickly turned into romantic interest. What I like about this story is its simple and honest storyline executed in such a smooth and brilliant manner. Some reviewers have commented how the ending seemed rushed but considering it's relatively short duration (16 episodes is 'short' for TDrama), I feel that the ending was executed well. Viewers were not left in the lurch or an open ending. It was a concrete ending. This drama also featured some good kissing scenes... but then again, this is Chris Wu we are talking about. He's a very convincing kisser in all of his dramas.

Acting/Cast: Brilliant cast. No complains in this department. Unlike some reviewers who commented on how annoying the female character was; I did not find her character annoying at all. She played the sunny character well. As she slowly finds her footing again in the music industry, the female lead learned to stop hiding behind her smiles and nonchalant attitude and to take on rejections and challenges face on. As for Chris Wu.... need I say more?? The man's a seasoned actor. I'm glad he choose a good drama. I look forward to his future work.

Music: Well, this drama is set in the music industry where the male lead is the best music producer around. He started his journey as the guitarist and composer in a band he formed with his friends before shooting into stardom. What do you expect if not for great music? Excellent opening OST by Mayday and ending OST by Jia Jia. Mayday and Jia Jia seem to be doing most of the drama (and film) OSTs nowadays (including ones produced by China). Not that I am complaining... both Mayday and Jia Jia have brilliant voices....but it does make me wonder about other artists as well. Can we have some variety maybe??

Rewatch value: Pretty high in my books. TDramas nowadays run into past 20 episodes and it is not always that you get a good story packed into 16 episodes with nice pace, good character, story development and a concrete ending. Not to mention the wonderful kiss scenes. I have a few favourite scenes in this drama. I know many love episode 11 of this drama but besides episode 11, there are many nice scenes (and episodes) I would revisit soon.

Overall: A solid 9/10. To those of you who liked my past recommendations:- you will like this if your preference is anything like mine! Highly recommended.

Story : No doubt that Itazura na kiss is my All time favorite rom-com story .. so after watching all versions I have to say this is the cutest version ever ! this Honeymoon special was EXACTLY like ep 15 of the anime Itazura na kiss witch I LOVE ! it made me even more excited for season 2 ! I was extremely happy with this" movie ? / special ? / episode ? "

Acting : Yuki did an amazing job , as wel all know naoki is not really the most emotional honest normal guy in the world , yet he was able to deliver his feelings to kotoko through his beautiful eyes *-* And omg can I just fan-girl over his Perfect English ! no kidding it is the best !
Miki is to me my favorite kotoko of all times *including manga and anime * she is seriously amazing in this version ! she doesn't cry all the time she is not extremely weak she honestly loves Naoki but doesn't forget her pride -sometimes Lol - she is cool .....overall she is really a great actress
However the only thing that made me uncomfortable was the age gab I was completely okay in the first season but in this movie especially the bed scene it was little uncomfortable to watch lol it felt weird i can never imagine how awk it was for yuki poor guy ! she is so tiny and cute that it doesn't feel ... yeh but i got over it xDD


Music : It was not good in my most humble opinion , i was hoping for a better music but i didn't like it .. season 1 ost was far far better to me ..but it is not THAT bad .. it was just not that good .

Re-watch : oh dear ! we all know we have a long long time before season 2 so I kept re-watching it and every-time it made me happy it is light fun and cute so I gave it 10 for re-watch value

Overall : well I may be biased little bit to give it a 10 .. yeh even I admit that giving the fact that I could be harsh on other dramas * but it made me happy no moment in the movie made me cringe *except the black guy moment * xD but the fact that this story is Itazura Na kiss and the acting is good just makes it perfect to me !
So yeh .. that was my review on INK2~LIO !
I hope you liked it ^^ Peace *
