Story- Not bad but not amazing either. It was written enough to keep your attention till the end. That being said the way they wrote the romance was quite disappointing. It wouldn't be such a problem if the genre of this drama wasn't Romance. Let me warn you the romance doesnt begin till the last episode. And then your suppose to believe that its possible that they would want to get married? I'm sorry but I just wasn't impressed with the sill ending.
Acting/Cast- Good acting by everyone and I loved the leads together. I just wish their characters interacted more.
Music- Good Ost but nothing Id listen to outside the show.
Rewatch- Its rewatchable but Im not sure If I'd rewatch it or not, just because I was a bit disapointed with the story.
Overall Sweet Relationship is worth watching once.

It wasn't as sad as I thought it would be. I mean, it was sad. And I cried a lot. But for some reason I had expected it to be a lot worse. And I don't watch sad shows, so the fact that I loved this despite the fact that it made me cry, means it was exceptional.
All of the relationships and the characters were so well done, and brilliantly acted. Brother to brother, brother to sister, boyfriend to girlfriend, friend to friend, mother to daughter, mother to son, father to son. So many relationships, and so many problems, and even with the sometimes soap opera-esque staring and the occasional bad editing, they made you feel for them with every bone in your body. Every character had something about them that made you want to keep watching them, even if it was because you hated them so much you wanted to watch them die. And trust me, there are several characters that you hate with every fibre of your being.
I didn't really notice the music that much. Which is a good thing. Nothing worse than those dramas where they play the same song so much that by the end of the show, you want to buy the record just so you can smash it into pieces.
It did get quite depressing in the last few episodes. Not as many funny scenes. I can't believe it was a 30 episode series, and I actually enjoyed the entire thing. Usually drama's that go for more than 16 episodes tend to drag out the ending and get a bit boring. But this show, even at 30 episodes, never did.
Credit to the writers, actors, director, and everyone that made this show possible. I'm so very glad I decided to watch it.

Leaving the comparisons aside, the story moved pretty quickly, there was a good ending and the main characters had good character development going on. However, about half of the cast was over-acting, under-acting or just poorly acting. The female lead was great, adorable, enchanting and loveable. The male lead was trying to re-create Geum Suk's character but really looked either in pain or constipated. Unfortunately, the shun character was well played but wasn't given enough time to develop, and the Yuki character was over- acted.
The story had some holes in it but they were cutting a lot of stuff so thats understandable. I feel like the writers honed in on the main point of the story and milked it as much as they could. Sad to say, a lot of other parts and characters were left lacking like step children.
When I first saw it I was excited and mad at the same time. How dare they remake this master piece?! But think of it like a refresher course with an alternate ending. Let me give you an analogy; If YAB was a Ivy League university, IDN would be community college.

I though they struck a good balance between "OMG" moments and more grounded moments. All of the performances were amazing, and just on episode in I was fully invested in the story.
Plus, if you know anything about Korean celebrity culture, you'll enjoy all of the inside jokes, celeb cameos, and meta references.

I liked the cast but I wasnt in love with them. Thier acting was very good though. To be honest I never grew to like the main female character. I kept watching to see Ryu Su Young\''s smile.
The music was very good although with 2 songs it got to be a little repatative.
I\''m not sure whether Id watch this drama again just because I dont feel I have to see the characters again.
Overall this has an interesting enough story but I dont have any special feelings for it. I\''d reccommend watching it once though when you\''ve exhausted better choices.

Story- Your average family drama. It wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be. The plot was very good but there were too many episodes. It really doesnt start to get good till 15 episodes in. The ending was welcomed although the way they wrote the romance between Lee Min Jung's character and the second brother was a little rushed so thier ending was kind of like "Say what?" Thier characters were underused and their romance could have filled up more space and made the story more interesting.
Acting/Cast- Very good acting by the main characters of course but I did find thier pairing a bit strange. I mean JSW is more than 10 yrs older than PSH. The supporting cast all filled their roles well. As I said though LMJ was quite underused and I thought her character was cute/funny.
Music- Average OST; nothing memorable but fit the scenes well.
Rewatch- Its rewatchable but because the story is so average I'm not sure Id watch this again or not.
Overall Kimcheed Radishes is very good but would have been much more enjoyable if cut by 14 episodes. Id say watch for the leads.

Way too much time is spent on characters whining about money. They whine about not having enough, who's getting it, and how to get more of it. I was tempted to fast forward through some scenes with particular characters, but I was afraid I'd miss too many key plot points. I would have preferred it if Lee Seung Ki, and Han Hyo Joo had more screen time together instead.
Though I loved watching Lee Seung Ki's character's transformation the most, the entire cast impressed me. Of course Kim Mi Sook stands out as the epitome of a wicked stepmother, but she could have had less screen time in my opinion. Quite a few of the characters have really good epic crying scenes, though I personally was never moved to tears by the story. Still, the actor that impressed me the most overall was actually Yun Joon Suk, who was so believable that I initially thought he was autistic.
I am glad that I decided to stick with it, and watched the whole thing. There are definitely a few moments that I already want to watch again, but I don't know if I could ever watch all 28 episodes again.

Hana Kimi was my first ever drama and I absolutely loved it! I originally read the manga and it became one of my favorites and I stumbled across this live-version. The drama was loosely based off of the manga, but there was so many things about this drama that made me not care about it. The funny, hilarious, and random events that happened, I still rewatch those scenes over and over again. I've watched this drama twice and my favorite parts a hundred times. The story might not seem that original nowadays, but there's something special about Hana Kimi.
The acting was great, especially Ikuta Toma as Nakatsu Shuichi! He was my favorite character in the manga and he felt more real in this version, and plus he was downright funny! I loved Jiro in the Taiwan version, but Toma plays the best Nakatsu [in my opinion] (: Horikita Maki was a good Mizuki, I don't have any complaints about her. I wasn't a fan of Oguri Shun as Sano, only because his character seems a bit dark while the original Sano is more like Wu Chun in the Taiwanese version. That's my only complaint. Not that he acted his part badly, but how his character was written for this drama just didn't win me over.
I loved all the music to Hana Kimi! From "Ikenai Taiyou" to "Peach" to all of the instrumentals. I absolutely love "Ikemen Boogie" and it's one of my all time favorite instrumentals.
I've watched this drama twice and I plan on watching it more than that!
Overall: If you're looking for something light and funny I recommend this drama if you haven't already seen it. There are many funny moments and you might find yourself replaying them over and over again (:

I wasn't familiar with the traditional story of Don Quixote, but that wasn't necessary because this drama really didn't stick to the traditional story. What the drama took from the Spanish story was a theme of "unconventional chivalry" and really played it up.
Assuming that you read the synopsis, this story is a Secret Garden type of switch but without the romance. (if you didn't see the Kdrama Secret Garden -you need to- but think Freaky Friday). Yes there is essentially no romance in this drama but you really don't miss it. The main characters are like fish out of water and it makes it hilarious to watch.
The two main characters are played excellently by the already awesome Matsuda and Katsumi Takahasi. I loved seeing Matsuda smile and be really dorky then witch to being all Yakuza, if you are a fan of his then there is no reason not to watch. Katsumi was really good to playing a totally dweeb young man , he made it believable.
All in all, this a undeniably great drama. It sucks you in, has great topics and situations and by the end you feel as if you too have gained 2 friends. Even if you see the end coming in this drama, the characters are so likeable that you want them to do their best. All the episodes are good and there is no need to fast forward, and i normally need to fast forward. If you feel like getting away from all of the plotting and scheming that some of the other dramas have, this is a good refreshing one. Watch it. Like now.
