Usually, I hate to watch dongseng/noona relationships, but Byung Hee and Cheol Su along with Jun Hee and the Ajusshi really make the relationship work. I couldn't sit through "My Name Is Kim Sam Soon" but I was anticipating every "What's Up, Fox?" episode. All of them are excellent actors with great chemistry. I thought they concentrated too much about the age difference thing, which constantly tore them apart and also how hypocritical they were when it comes to who someone else should date or marry. Hopefully, viewers will learn to be more understanding and open minded after watching the drama. It's easy to pass judgement when a person doesn't understand another's relationships.
I kind of wished this drama was longer! Usually, I don't like break-ups, but I was satisfied with the way the story went. It was realistic and just like life, love can happen anywhere with lots of possibilities. Who knows? Even the person that you love now may not be the person you want to be with later. I could relate to the boredom of a relationship, which this mini-drama portrayed perfectly. I liked the possibility of love. In the end, I don't mind who ended up with who because it was perfectly acceptable to me. All the actors did a great job portraying their roles.
I know the show could be annoying in the beginning, especially ep2, but after watching the whole drama in one go, I think you should give it a chance! The story development is very good up until the end and it never lost its intrigue. The chemistry between the leads is clear, their kisses were explosive, and I'm glad everything worked out well.
The storyline is atypical where the main characters have to go a really long way before they be together and there's more fighting and sad scenes than anything lighthearted. Jealousy and pain stand out in this drama. It's actually refreshing from watching something overly romantic. All the characters seem to change so suddenly. Nara was revengeful in the beginning but turned honest when she found true love. Mirae was the opposite with a dramatic change. She hid her true love and then tried to hang on to it no matter what the cost. The guys seem to be one dimensional. In Jae has his charms but couldn't make up his mind. Seung Woo was the opposite, he made up his mind and stuck with Mirae no matter what the cost. After watching this, you'd want to see a real romantic comedy right afterwards.
I couldn't stop watching this drama to find out what happens next. There seemed to be the right amount of tension between the main characters. I liked their what "could of" happened scenes. Lee Da Hae surprised me with her talkative and bubbly acting. The secondary characters weren't powerful enough to step in and break the relationship but perhaps it was meant to be that way because the main characters loved each other too much for that to happen. I loved this drama!
This drama is one of the best romantic comedy dramas I've ever seen. I think it is because the main characters do such a great job portraying their roles. The storyline progresses nicely as Sangshil learns more and more on how to be happy. This drama surpassed my expectations!
I knew how this type of story would pan out where a woman wanted to have revenge on a former love, yet she's still softhearted. There's aren't many surprises in this story. I love rookie's character because he is the most pure adult among the main cast. Everybody else had their evil sides so it's hard to sympathize with them completely. In a perfect world, everything would work out itself and this is exactly what happens. I feel bad for the neighbor though whose husband was shady. I was shocked what happened to them in the end.
The plot of this story is too far fetched. This was an impossible mission to begin with. I can't see from the beginning how the "mission" could have been accomplished and Kang Woo isn't the only Hallyu star. However, from a romantic story point of view, I like how Myung Wol confuses and gets on Kang Woo's nerves. I also fell in love with Kang Woo's handsome features. I also liked the side characters Choi Ryu and Ju In Na. Too bad they don't have much a romantic storyline. We come to appreciate these side characters for who they can be: Choi Ryu, a happy man who has the ability to show love, and Joo In Na, who has a caring side to her princess demeanor. Watch this for the love story alone.
I thought the overall story was about the F4/Jan Di school days yet the majority of their time is spent outside of school. The main character storyline between Geum Jan Di/Gu Jun Pyo/Yoon Ji Ho was simply too repetitively boring and lacked fireworks. Yoon Ji Ho and Geum Jan Di probably had more screen time together but love fizzled. I wished they got together instead.I thought Jan Di never softened up to Jun Pyo as she's constantly using harsh language towards him even though she loves him. The ultimate reason to watch this drama is for the side story between So Yi Jung and Chu Ga Eul. This storyline should have been the main storyline as I could not stop anticipating their scenes. Actors Kim Bum and Kim So Eun make such an expressively cute couple and those too are beautiful. They are my sole reason for watching this show. I want to see another drama with the “Seoulmate” couple together as leads! I can't help but think this story is similar to Goong except Goong main lead actors were so adorable together.
I loved this drama and the storyline, but the only thing lacking is the romance and chemistry between Lee Eun Sung and Nam Hye Suk. I thought Kim MIn Jung's acting is a bit stiff but Ji Sung's acting was great. I think I even developed a crush for his cute expressions. Awesome performance by Jo Jae Hyun. His presence alone brought the drama to a whole new level. It's an awesome drama, but I just wish there was more romance.
I understand that Han Dong Joo and Lee Da Ji has to be paired up again eventually, but I found it hard to believe that Lee Da Ji would have a change of heart so easily after she's been obsessing over Seo Yoon Ho. The story could have been better that way. I also felt bad for Park Jin Young. Her role was so limited and she was cruely dumped. All they do is show her working all the time. I don't deny the sweet moments in this drama, but it could have been better overall.
If you're looking for a romantic drama, you're in the wrong place. This story tries to be as real and as honest as it gets. There are no definite happily ever afters, relationships don't have to be resolved, but at least each character learns something from it. I watched this show solely for Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin. Everytime they are together, I got excited. I didn't like Song Hye Kyo's short hair though, but it does fit her character's personality well. I liked the fact they refreshingly started the story as exes. This isn't exactly my type of drama, but I'm willing to watch it for the main characters and the rawness of relationships overall.
I love the Yonghwa and ShinHye pairing a lot, but the storyline was really flat and uninteresting. Shin fell in love with KyuWon all of a sudden, then he put 200% devotion to Kyuwon all of a sudden, Hee Joo made such a drastic turn all of a sudden, and then there's more unnecessary drama at the end which isn't resolved until the last seven minutes of the show. I felt like the writers had nothing to write about and just wanted something to happen. The director and the choreographer seems more like friends throughout the show. Sadly, the final kiss with the main characters seems really awkward to me. Park Shin Hye looked stunning with longer hair towards the end. Overall, I hope for a better storyline.
It's unavoidable to compare it with the original Goong, but it does offer a different type of storyline. No matter what the storyline is, I wasn't able to accept the fact that it didn't seem real. Palace Maids and Attendants seem to freely roam around, play video games, sleep, and gossip like nobody's watching. Moon Sung Goong is actually my favorite character because he is the one who changes the most. Everybody else doesn't seem to have dimension. The love story falls flat. Maid Yang seems to leave the palace whenever she wants. The show doesn't really show how Young Sung Gong adapts to the palace because he only gains ambition when he wants to clear his mother's name. Personally, I didn't like how it ended because I don't believe in drastic measures. I did like the competition between the princes though, which is probably the most exciting part.
It was a fun drama overall. Even though I can't stand the coldness of Prince Shin, I can't stop watching. I've seen this drama two times already, where I rooted for Prince Yul the first time, but now during the second time, I rooted for Prince Shin. The ending was the most dramatic, but does have redeeming moments. I'd probably watch this again sometime later!
Song Seung Hun and Kim Tae Hee have amazing chemistry, fiery kisses, and killer facial expressions through the entire series, which made it so fun to watch. I loved how the entire story progressed and I would definitely rewatch this series again in order to see the whole love story unravel! This is nothing like "Goong" and it 10x better with funny, amusing, and serious moments. The characters aren't what they appear to be and the storyline is not too shallow.
This is the first time I ever watched a drama where I was more interested in the side characters than the main characters. I loved Choi Jung Yoon and Yoo Gun's storyline the best and I think they made a great couple. I wasn't even sure how they were going to end up at the end. Ryu Soo Young provided a lot of eye candy and I love it every time he makes a facial expression. Storyline-wise, I'm not too keen on the entire storyline of the main characters, but I tolerated the storyline until the end. It was really dramatic and exaggerated.The last two episodes really dragged because it could have been summed up into one episode. I also thought the "three musketeers" (three main females) should have more scenes together. Overall, I wished for a better storyline but it wasn't terrible.
I understand how some people love this story and hate it. This story talks more about the philosophies of reincarnated life and human relations although love is important, it is not the focus of the story because love always exists. Those who want absolute love will be disappointed. Those who can appreciate this drama for what it is, tragic fates, and even the possibility that love was never meant to be between couples will love it. The main females know and come to better understand their present relationships through their past lives. Still, this drama forces us to yearn and scream for a absolute ending, but if you look at all the lives they went through, you will come away from this drama knowing, they will possibly have more lives together and they will truly not separate. Ryu Soo Young plays such a diverse character who is truly the star gem in this drama. I appreciate all the cast of actors who are able to pull all different characters off in every life. My favorite life is the original life.
Entertaining if you don't focus on plot
This drama is entertaining but unrealistic. It seems a lot of things don't get resolved to my liking like Ye Eun's speech problem and especially the relationship between the secondary lead characters, Yoo Shi Joon and Han Jung Ah. The romance was a bit dull throughout and rushed at the end. My favorite romantic scene was the refrigerator kiss, but after that scene, the romance went downhill. I think Choi Si Won did the best he could with his part. I enjoyed his many expressions. Chae Rim's Yoon Gae Hwa character bored me as she couldn't make up her mind and her character is directionless. I do love adorable Ye Eun scenes. Lastly, the storyline is very unrealistic as I find it hard to believe Min Woo would reject his daughter and actually show no affection towards her. I can't believe how they can keep a girl under wraps for so long without getting caught. The storyline is not that well written as the plot never developed fully, and the characters' personality changes easily.
