Mary Stayed Out All Night (2010)

I loved this drama! The cast was great they did well with their characters. Of course Jang Geun Suk was amazing. I love him. He sang the music for this drama as he does for most of the dramas he does. Moon Geun Young did great also. Her two love rivals were to die for. The story was good it had family issues, one sided love, jealousy,romance comedy, and music band. The main characters chemistry was natural. They did well together.
Don't Forget girls if you love Jang Geun suk dramas this is the one you need to add to your list to watch.
i would watch it again anytime.

Mianhae. I don't like this drama its so lame. No excitement at all. Uwaa! I'm just not the kind to drop dramas that's why I continued watching though it bores me. I will rate it 8/9 if the female lead fell for the second male lead first and married him. No no to that stupid fake marriage thing. Its too common that both female/male lead fall for each other. I want a twist. But I really really like Kim Jae Wook here. He is so kind and obviously hot. She should just fall with this kind of man. I know that falling for a musician is awesome but I prefer it that way.

The ost is awesome too.

~Sorry for being harsh. Its just my opinion.

For such an amazing cast, this drama was a sham. Moon Geun Young is an amazing actress, Kim Jae Wook is an amazing actor, Jang Geun Suk is an amazing actor, as is the rest of the cast. So then why was this drama so disappointing? No matter how good the cast, score, etc. is, you cannot have a good drama with shoddy writing. The plot of this drama was all over the place. Characters would constantly change their minds and personalities and everything but their face. Conflicts were carefully created then solved an thrown out the window leaving me with nothing to grasp on to and the feeling of being cheated. The only reason I managed to get through this drama was the cast, and even though there was a lot of skipping and skimming. You may be allured by the cast, as I was, but you're better of staring at pictures of them than watching this drama. Unless you don't care about plot. If you were to ask me, I'd tell you not to watch it.

Story- The first half of eps are perfection but than it becomes repetitive and just another average drama. I don\''\''t remember the ending LOL.

Acting- I love everyone in this except for MGY. She did not have the right chemistry with JGS. I thought he was amazing of course. The second male lead was HOTT and acted his role well.

Music- JGS need I say more??

REwatch- Id watch this over and over cause the cast is so good=)

Overall- Overlooking the average plot, this drama is amazing because of the The cast & music, which they carried this show to the end. I dont agree with a lot of ppl that say this is horrible. Its not!

This show was hyped up as one that would speak to a new group of drama watchers---the indie mid-20s sect who would rather hang out at dive bars drinking cheap beer than sit at home in their PJs watching dramas. Yeah, I think those kids are still at the dive bars. This show was a major disappointment. The plot seemed promising enough: oooh, family debt; arranged marriage to forgive debt; fake marriage to get out of arranged one; two husbands--what!?! And then the plot just started to meander into Never Never Land. Things picked up a bit when the writer changed half-way through the show, but when the most interesting plot twists happen in the last episode, that's a drama fail. The music, for the most part, is pretty decent since they try to stick to the overall indie vibe, which means we get some good tracks with Jang Geun Suk rocking out ("Please, My Bus"). Basically, this show has a lot of cute moments, especially between the main couple, but it's not enough fluff to last 16 episodes.

At first I was a little reluctant to watch this drama. It had gotten some bad reviews, bad, bad, bad reviews, but then, it has also gotten some good ones. Therefore the main factor for me, for watching this drama was the cast. And what a beautiful cast it is!

The acting and the casting is fine, I have no issues with that, there is on-screen chemistry and the crying is decent and believable and doesn't make me want to punch the soppy actors.

The soundtrack is really good! I really liked it and I have now downloaded the OST. All the songs are totally my cup of tea, and they aren't overplayed and they fit the feel of the drama, so all is well in that respect.

This, like most K-Dramas does not have much in the way of realism. Lots of stuff is exaggerated and some of the characters (e.g. the parents of Mae-Ri and Jung-In) whack everything totally out of proportion and throw hissy fits all over the place. Be prepared, but on the plus side, while they have a prominent role in the story their screen time isn't to the extent that I want to hunt down the script-writer for creating such awful characters.

Now, the first episode made me want to stop. Actually, that's not quite fair, the first ten minutes of it made me want to stop. It's a bit hectic and weird in the very beginning, but stick through the zombie wedding and it evens out. The plot itself, I personally haven't seen done before (so that is a plus) and I thoroughly enjoyed what was going on and the twists and turns (some of which were predictable and others not so) until about episode eight.

Around episode eight (of a sixteen episode drama, so halfway) it started to get a little monotonous... I felt like nothing that had happened had really progressed the situation and wondered if the story was going to be kept in an infinite loop for the other eight episodes. This was not the case, so rejoice!

And I think most of my reluctance to continue after episode eight is due to the love triangle (DON'T WORRY I'M NOT GOING TO SPOIL IT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S PREDICTABLE) In love triangles, I always end up rooting for the under-dog, or the one who gets left behind so I was a bit reluctant to keep seeing love-interest-2 being ignored especially after trying so hard in comparison to love-interest-1 who isn't nearly as nice, or as attractive. *sigh*.

Now, the re-watch value... Is pretty low. I don't think I'd watch it again, but then again I might.
And the sole reason for this would be to see Kim Jae Wook being his stunning, sexy, beautiful, perfect self in a SUIT. It's just total eye-candy.

I'd also like to mention that some people love, love, LOVE this drama and others HATE it. I enjoyed it. It had it's cute moments, it had it's ups and downs but in general I did not feel like I was slugging through it (like I did past episode 20 of Boys Over Flowers).

While I would not recommend this drama highly, I would encourage you to give it a try.
