This started out a little unusual and funny, then got really interesting, the actors, as with most of these dramas, did their jobs well; however, the drama ended up leaving this viewer feeling it was all a waste. The mixture of modern and historical did not have enough fluidity to be appreciated. If one is looking for a something that makes overall sense, this is not recommended.
This was a well put together story. There are a lot of "what?" moments, cat and mouse games played throughout, which leads to overall redemption. The actors were A+ and did their parts justice. I loved the refreshing, yet restful feel to the ending.
Starts w/ promise: Goal driven YG playing dog eat dog game 2 succeed inspite of his :( background; only flaw was 2love a slave minded talent. JK psycho.wounded demon also falls 4her & his need is to keep her caged up 4 his comfort. His soulmate, 2 help keep twisted father happy. GY a tool throughout the drama 2make others richer; the only one that wanted her 2 soar was "erased". As the ending implied,GY continued her life caged up in a prettier cage.The ending was:( I wished I never gotinto it; I fed into the promise that all will turn out well for GY & YG. Evil JK had alot of viewers rooting for his love for her, 'cause he was beatened around, they felt sorry for him. Bottomline, the beatings are his motivation, he knew nothing else, GY was psychologically reared as a slave and knew nothing else and didn't know what to do with what YG wanted to offer her. GY comfort and destiny was to stay a tool. GY didn't know how 2 change, design&sleep on a cot, was life 4 her. Poor YG,a Knight for the wrong cause.
This story stared our really promising, I was geared up from the start; however there were things that did not come to fruition, i.e.,cause of grandmother died,etc. The last few epsiodes overall were less that 90%. Maybe this viewer's expectation was too high, but overall it is a nice story to watch, I enjoyed it.
Enjoyable, cute and funny at times. Dong Wook, her elementary friend was the better friend; Hee Jin, middle shool friend, was the poison and trouble maker that cause of all Ji Eun's waoos. Just felt the ending was patched together. Overall...I liked this drama.
This story is worth watching. The lead characters have such a pure chemistry, I was dawn into the emotion of their love. Padam Padam will leave the serious viewer with an appreciation for ones life and talents. All I can honestly say, is "awesomely lovely" story.
This drama started off like a soap opera/who dun it of old. If the viewer does not get turned off at the beginning and keep watching they will find this to be an interesting story with lots of twists and turns.I was hoping for a happier ending for Aran and her husband at the end.
Refreshing, funny and insightful. Some really sound life lessons expressed throughout. Similiar to good book, I couldn't wait for the next episode (threw away alot of sleep just to watch one more.) Worth watching! :)
This was a good story; however, the way it was told could have been with a little more substance. As the drama continued gaps popped up unexpectedly, the lead actress and the story became a little unreal and stupid around episodes 12 throughout.
This story started really good, I enjoyed most of it; however the ending was just another filler. If Episode 16 had some substance...it could have gotten away 4-1/2 stars.
Pleasant movie with a few hiccups, cute and loveable sweethearts; the actors did their jobs well. "Lovers in Prague" has a few misses midway to end. Maybe it’s this viewer, however I got lost in the explanations given which should fully clarify some incidents. There are a few chuckling moments with phrases used, an overall okay romance drama.
A sad reality and good job at expressing the debth of true love. He stayed true to his love to the end. That ex-fiance was too nice to be believed, her actions of deceptively finding ways to stay in his life turned me off as though she was just waiting for her chance to finally get what she wanted turned me off that character.
Okay movie, I found this hospital drama somewhat interesting although I felt the story line was lacking at times. Where do they find the Caucasians for these Korean dramas? I find them to be unrealistic representation of Americans and English. They look more European of Dutch decent they speak English with accents of another origin. They are so bland and unattractive; I guess they have to be so that they wouldn’t upstage the actors.
The characters and historical projection was wonderful. Sad, yet an inspirational love story. It helped me to understand a lot about persecution, forgiveness and that peace flows and grows from within when one does not lash out with revenge. All those that attacked the female character were lacking and too jealous. She had so much and they just didn't want her to have more so they stole from her at every chance, continously ending up empty. I loved the husband/brother and their interraction. He was comic relief for from my tearful moments. I sincerely recommend this story.
If you're looking for romance, this is not your story. What you will find is passion and dedication within the broadcasting arena. I grew to love this story as it progressed; although there were a few non-realistic moments, it was overall good story telling. Loved the music especially the "battle" sounding ballard..
What a wonderful drama, I enjoyed the bond that the two lovers had. There were moments of anger at how others selfishly tried to force them against their path. His fiance was such a ball and chain, so glad she got fazed out. Although the ending was sad, I found it beautiful that they their love stayed true for all time. If you like this and have not seen Stairway to Heaven, tune in to another bitter sweet story..
This started nice & with promise, The lead female’s lying and manipulation to get her way turned me off and made her so called innocence not believable. Being supposedly gullible, but knew how to speak up in getting things done. (Moon Geun Young was good in Cindrella’s sister) with that in mind, I was looking forward to this drama, I was let down w/the casting of the lovers it was off. After the intro. of the sweet director & the-ex. I believed her choice should have been the director who was more suited;their childhood bond was sweet & a kept childhood promise seeing them grow up and marry would have been nice. This story left me feeling sad for the long suffering director, his father only wanted to give his past love’s lookalike daughter things he wished for her mother, a happy life. Couldn’t stand the friends interference; I hoped for more alone/bonding time for Mary & the Director. If the lead characters were better matched, the story may have been solid. Script was not consistent.
What a long and frustrating drama, too little ups and plenty downs for Soon young who makes me wonder how someone could be this gullible, yet her lack of parental love may play a big role in her handicapped personality. Watching how Se-bin and her mother cash in on her guilt every change given gets to be too much. The mother in law is the core to her unhappiness throughout; both she and her daughter use their manipulation to get their way. Too much forgiveness given and little if any change in Se-bin and her mother’s make up. Se-bin’s signing over her daughter was part of her long-term plan to get Soon Young to help her get her husband back. Down to the divorce papers incident, she falsely took control of them to prevent her husband from filing. Every act is deliberate these two in-laws. If the writers had shortened those drawn out episodes maybe they could have given us an ending that was satisfying where these despicable women paid substantially for their deeds. The ending given was just lacking.
A very nice well put together drama about what people value most and following that path to true peace and happiness. I found that All About Eve reveals that misplaced value leads to greed which serves emptiness. It ran like a story book you can't put down. This viewer shamefully watched up to 18+ hours non-stop only to sleep and wake up to finish the final episode. The one tearful scene, I feel, made it all worth watching.
Enjoyed the realistic experiences of the lead characters, the girlfriends bond was refreshing. I liked the fact that it was not AS predictable as most romantic Korean dramas. Although I was upset at Sung Soo for cheated on In Young, I was happy with the ending with them coming to appreciate their grounded love and care for each other. This comedy drama is light, whimsical and funny.
Well scripted, drama. This drama was nice to watch although I deduced the murderer from the start, to me it was obvious. The ending just added bittersweet hope that all turned out well for those hurt by the whole situation.
This story makes me bitter to an extent. It looks like Geum Ran has gotten the bitter end of everything. The family that raised her continuously use her for their selfish gain, when they need money, they lean on her to sacrifice for them, placing nothing but guilt on her. When she has a chance to gain what is rightfully hers, they call her selfish and leaving them behind. Even her mother dressed up cheap things to give her, that is her worth to them. The restaurant is named the "Golden Egg" after her, yes she is their golden goose for their benefit only. Their real daughter Jung Won is just as selfish as they are. Watching her sloppy rants I can see that she takes after her natural father. I strongly symphatize with the Geum Ran character, and hope she finds true wealth and happiness without being someone elses scapegoat.
The episodes do date have been good; however, one of two thing that irk me, the sisters idiot ways. Her dragging whiny voice just turns me off the scenes in which she appears. Another thing, there are some inconsistencies...the character is told something in an earlier episode and then told again as if it's being the first time. Not too much attention to detail in storyline at times. Overall drama is good.
Well done and acted; story nicely told yet wished it had a happier ending. "The godfather" type music was a nice touch throughout which set the overall mood.
Good story, yet sad! Well cast and acted. This story gets to the heart of the matter in story telling. Telling of the hopes and dreams people have in life yet the cold reality rises. Woth watching!
Dramafever switched to Premium viewing for the last two episodes. Thought it was a teaser, If I want to see drama through it's entirely, I need to pay. In other words, Dramafever is charging me to view the last two to give a complete review.
The story was a good one; however I was not pleased in the chosen actor (the athlete) used in romantic lead with the doctor.
Liked Hyun Bin but the storyline was way out there... I think they were related, but crazy chic didn't want an average family so she lied. Overall strange...
Episode six (activity after the switch) is too funny. The chemistry between the two characters is awesome, can't wait to see more!
Overall an enjoyable story which can make one angry at the injustices throughout; however if you decide to invest your time, keep in mind that everyone reaps what they sow in the end. Have tissues at hand, there are a lot of tear jerking moments.
Everything went well up until the last 3-4 episodes. It just got weeeak, like everything was just thrown together without thought and left me wishing for substance...overall story was sweet.
Very Good
Well put together; the actors earned their money...[I ended up with a crush on Jo Jung Suk] :) Worth watching!
