Very dramatic indeed. Somewhat unbelievable that people in such positions would put such emphasis on love to the point where their lives are bounded by it. Then again, it is a drama. First loves, revenge, secret births are all the ingredients of good ones. And without good actors, this show would have failed. So thank goodness it didn't. The fact that reviewers say they hate certain elements only means they've been captured by this, which is a good thing. It had a good ending, Not quite fulfilling, but all in all worth my time.
Aww... this was cute. I love how they portrayed the issue of teenage pregnancy from all sides. It had a serious yet breathable aspect to it. Life never turns out the way you planned it, so it's good to learn to adjust, accept, or just do something about it. Best of all, it's important to have a little fun once in a while :)
This show was awesome! It was great from beginning to end. It had all the elements that make it a great drama including a well thought out plot, secrets, mystery and political intrigue that all unfolded wonderfully to ensure the viewers all the wait and everything they had watched wasn't all for naught. This show is a must-see!
I LOVED the overdramatic scenes, the juicy secrets, revenge plots, the kidnapping and the back stabbing.. kyaah!! I looked forward to every single episode! And most of all, I looked fwd to seeing the evil mom! OMG she was gorgeous in every single episode. The hair, make up, clothes and bold jewelry! An awesome modern take on the fashion of those times. Hard to tell whether the character changes were abrupt or not because they didn't specify the year or how much time had passed. I didn't like that I had questions in the end like, how did the dad and evil mom feel abt having the company passed on to the eldest daughter? I mean this all happened because the freaking dad and grandma were desperate for a son, so how did they react to having all their efforts undone by the children? For that I felt it more of a 4.5 star show, but for creating such an enduring and awesome character as Tak Gu, I'm glad to round up. Lastly, I know the focus is on the drama, but I really wished there were more bread making scenes, lol.
I only started watching after seeing Dennis Oh's face on my local ch. 18. Yes his acting sucked, and the recitals of his lines were just painful to watch, but the plot line of this story is effing hilarious! If you've never watched the American show Alias with Jennifer Garner, you would never understand why this show was so hilarious. Episode 4 was just non-stop hilarity, omg. Everybody else acted really well, except for Dennis Oh, who unfortunately had like 70% of the screen. But it's ok, he's hot =P The ending was very vague, but then again, isn't that how most spy films end? In mystery? But I didn't like this one cuz it was a little too vague, lol. Plus it was lame. It's acceptable that he didn't speak Korean, cuz my friend can understand her mother, but can't speak the language either haha. Anywho, this has sentimental value to me, so it's 5-stars =)
This was just such an amazing drama. The political intrigue and all the stuff that went on behind closed doors, wow! I'm no doctor, but I knew people in medical school, and I've heard of things that went down (sabotage) cuz it was so competitive. This show kept me on my heels. Like literally, I had to freakin watch everything all in one sitting even during finals. Now that's what I call 5-stars. Top-notch acting too. I'm just so glad I even decided to try it, and now I wanna own it, but only on blu-ray so I'll be waiting for that.
Hahaha! I loved this show! Don't expect any romance connections to be fulfilled, but if you're into mystery, suspense, silliness, treasure hunt, magic and all, then this show is for you. It's just all out ridiculous, but it's precisely why I love it. It's so unlike any of the other dramas I've watched that it was refreshing! Plus you definitely see genuine character development unlike other dramas that fail so miserably at it. So for that I give it 5-stars as I truly had fun watching this. On a side note, my friend and I have similar taste but for some reason, she didn't like this and couldn't watch past ep.1, so this could be a crap shoot. You either love it, or reject it. If you don't find the 1st ep hilarious, then this is probably not for you, cuz you've already missed out on the joke ;)
I really love action packed films. The whole revenge plot was intriguing but I wished they had saved the daddy shocker til the very last second to give it more of a bang. I'm also not too fond of the love story insert as it didn't mesh well with the suspense, imo, cuz then of course they had to insert the buying-expensive-clothing shtick for no reason. Then there was the tired dialogues about making the other stop loving the other which detracted a bit, plus there were still unresolved matters in the end, so for that it was really more of a 4.5 stars. But I'm a huge fan of the Bourne Trilogy and this one had pretty good fight sequences, so I chose to round up ;)
It had an awkward yet hilarious start, haha! Something about the beginning felt off, but it grew on me. The scenes with English dialogues were just painful to watch. And the repeated scenes of the personal assistant and the husband plotting things were just a rehash of the same schemes over and over, so the momentum got screwed sometimes. It's really more of a 3.5 stars, cuz I just felt the story took too long to get to where we all know it was going, but there were really some endearing moments, so I rounded up.
It was ok at best. It had a good storyline and could've been impressive if told in the right pace and important parts highlighted correctly. But instead it lingered in the immaterial parts and struggled during major transitions of the story's events in order to meet the time allotment. As a result, it was awkward and undramatic. Which is really too bad cuz it had potential. Oh well, at least the cast was good looking! =D
I really like the story =) The little magical twists slightly set it apart from other Cinderella dramas. For some reason I liked watching the evil mother. She's pretty, unlike other evil mothers in other dramas, kind of like in Snow White. The coma thing also I reminded me of Sleeping Beauty, and the whole anti-social attitude by the rich dude was like Beauty and the Beast, with the outward appearances in reverse. Then of course there was the continual allusion to the Little Mermaid. It was total fairytale fun! Loved it!
Kyaah! The scenes, stories, the relationships all flowed smoothly! I don't even know how I found myself watching this, cuz there wasn't much appeal to the story to begin with, but I'm glad I did! There was not a wasted moment and every minute was utilized to the fullest! Loved every aspect of it!
I thought the story was rich in texture and characters and it unfolded quite nicely. I was a little surprised by the curt ending, but I guess it was necessary in order to fit the allotted episodes. The only thing I didn't like that was prevalent throughout the entire drama was the length of the emotional pieces. Talk about milking each tearful scene, I was slightly irked by the overly melodramatic parts. Jeebus I'd already cried two buckets of tears, what more did they want? I could've done without them, and I felt the story could've flowed faster without them, so I docked one star for that.
This show was awesome! It reminded me of Sex and the City. Unfortunately even the ending was similar. I never liked Carrie goin back to Mr. Big. He was a total weasel who let her hang on for 6 years, only to go back when he gets bored. And here, 10 years??? What the hell was he waiting for? A lot of people wanted Carrie back with Mr. Big so that Russian's character took a 180 and became a jerk who slaps women around. Here, hotel guy asked for too much. At least it was understandable why they broke up. I appreciate the drama's efforts, highlighting a key reason men cheat: they think their women will always be there regardless; which is exactly what happened here. The cheater came out on top; got what he wanted and barely got a slap on the wrist. The end was even lamer. Mr. Big proposed to Carrie; this cheater gave a stupid promise ring. Overall, this was enjoyable. In Young had no other alternative so she went back to the man that no doubt would hurt her again and again, maybe in 5 year increments.
Aww.. not bad
Watched everything. Slow start but it was pretty exciting in the latter half. I didn't think I could grow to hate some characters anymore, but I was wrong. Still it had a nice ending that left me feeling happy and because it gave me a brand new story, I'd give it 4-stars. I loved how they showcased the amenities in these palatial houses, like the awesome cabinets in the house w/a wife and mistress. Title has very little to do w/the actual story. Maybe even calling it just 'First Street', but 'Romance Town' it isn't, 'Money Town' is more like it.
