I absolutely adore Gui Gui and George Hu. I saw the long preview for this and was excited because the story looked pretty interesting. After finally finishing this 30 episode drama, I am left pretty disappointed to be honest.

This drama started off pretty well. It kept me hooked for the first 10 episodes. After a while though I found myself skipping parts through out the episode because it just seemed pointless and was just dragging out.

The ending. Oh geez the ending. It definitely wasn't..how I thought it would end. I mean, if you read the plot you can pretty much predict what will happen but I feel like they should've used more episode to explain the story towards the end. That may sound confusing but if you watch it, it'll make more scene (i dont want to spoil the ending)

I loved the cast though. Gui Gui & George's acting was spot on. Their chemistry was perfect. The supporting cast was perfect too. The parents, friends, other love interests, i loved them all.

I would recommend this drama to others but I honestly give them my opinion on it. I wouldn't watch this again though

i watched this because the couple from "love around" was also a couple in here. The beginning was surprisingly good which allowed me to continue watching. The chemistry between the main leads was very good, almost as if Annie and George were a real couple,and other couples weren't that bad either. it also helps that this drama was already done and not airing for me bc the cliffhangers definitely made me want more.

however the show's problem was definitely its length of epis, but most of all some of the side characters...especially the women in George's family. i felt that their life only revolved George and Annie's love life way to much. After like the 40th episode you start to feel the need to skip episodes bc if u went out for like 20 mins u would still know what was going on. i did like the relationship between Yang Yi Ru aka(Annie), and her ex-boyfriend and his to her family.

This gets a high score from me because I never felt like fast forwarding; even though there were a few story lines I didn't really like, the acting was always amusing and there were many cute little moments that i didn't want to miss. Lots of inside jokes about previous dramas.

I thought the characterization was done really well. I really liked the characters I was supposed to like and disliked who I was supposed to dislike. The acting was good as well. I just watched a bit of Meteor Garden and was amazed how much better Jerry Yan was in this. Ella's facial expressions, as usual, were sometimes over the top, but I found her really cute and endearing in this drama.

There were a few things that bugged me. I didn't like was that every episode was full of flashbacks, some to events that had happened just minutes before. Intellectually, I didn't like how everybody just forgave everybody else for really horrible things without much reason to do so, although really I was gad they didn't drag out conflict too much. There were also a few complications that weren't really needed. But all in all, I thought this was great.

I originally was not going to watch "Cyrano Dating agency", simply because I had no love for the cast nor the time to fit it into my schedule when it first started airing. It was completely by accident that I started watching the first episode, and to my surprise, this drama was actually good. It actually became one of my favorites compared to the other dramas I was watching at the time.
Story: We all need a nice, zippy rom-com to watch every now and then, and "Cyrano" definitely delivered that for me. It didn't really try to be deep or hold some secret message, but it did offer some insights to love that made me view relationships in a certain way. I'm glad that this drama- for the most part- didn't try to venture into the moral consequences of what the Cyrano team was doing, and instead managed to make it seem less wrong than what the synopsis makes the viewer think. The agency wasn't *making* the target fall in love with the client, but rather helping the client deliver their sincere feelings in such a way that it changes the target's perspective on the client. Some of the cases here were admittedly more "wrong" than others, but in the end everyone wound up content. The tone of "Cyrano" stayed pretty even throughout, except for the last two episodes where it just suddenly decided to be serious. The last two episodes weren't too out there as far as the plot went, but compared to the whole show in general they just seemed kind of ridiculous.
Acting: While I don't have any particular misgivings towards idol actors, the majority of them aren't something to write home about. that being said, I expected Sooyoung to be average or less than in her role and I was partially correct. The writers here managed to make her character likable and cheery, and Sooyoung managed to convey the character well enough but to me she never really *became* the character. Her chemistry with Lee Jong Hyuk was cute, but I always felt that her character was more well-matched to Chunderella's character. Chunderella was brilliant here, and I'll be keeping an eye out for his next role. The other boys in the agency fit their roles surprisingly well, but to me it felt a bit like their previous ones. Jo Yoon Woo's and Hong Jong Hyung's roles were similar to the ones they had in "Flower Boy Ramyun Shop" and "White Christmas".
Music: The music here was different from other dramas, and it was used well to accent certain scenes.
Rewatch Value: While I wouldn't go back and watch the *whole* thing all over again, I would rewatch certain episodes.
Overall: "Cyrano Dating Agency" stuck to its strengths for the most part and managed to deliver a sold rom-com that entertained me. While it isn't wholly forgettable, it isn't something that I will always love and remember.

I don't even know where to start... it's been such a LONG time since I've seen a drama as amazing as this one! And I know it really irritates people when reviews are being made when the dramas aren't finish airing yet, but I'm sorry. I can't help it. This drama is superb.

Story-10 , Definitely one of the best story lines in the dramas that I've watched. It made me laugh, jump up for joy, frustrated at times, and even get mad at the leads sometimes! Very unpredictable! I expected for things to happen, but it twisted and went the other way around. I usually don't like romance between an older woman and a younger guy, but it's exceptional here! The story definitely kept me at the edge of my seat throughout the whole episodes!

Acting/Cast-9, The actors portrayed their characters very well. Lee Bo Young annoyed me a bit at first, but she turned out to be really good. Lee Jong Suk is just simply amazing. This is my first drama with him in it, and I fell in love at first sight! He is spectacular for a 23 year old. Yoon Sang Hyun is really good too... but I didn't really payed much attention to him in here xD Plus, the chemistry between Jong Suk & Bo Young is incredible!

Music- 8, the music's pretty good. Some really great OST's there!

Rewatch value- 9, I watched this 3 times already and never got bored once! xD

The story is interesting and different from others I have seen. I thought it was good, but there is really nothing special about it. The parts where they are helping people find love are insightful and fun to watch. The convoluted ending was a turn off. Especially since he didn't learn his lesson. I thought he should have had an epiphany and proclaimed his undying love from the rooftop. I guess that is just my wishes. LOL Anyway, it didn't suck.

The acting is also good. All of them played their characters well. Soo Young is just cute as a button. There were also a lot of great cameo appearances.

The music was also good.

I might rewatch this in the future.

If you like romantic comedy, then this could be the drama for you.
