I'm rather new to Korean dramas, having watched only four of them so far. This show was a recommendation from a friend. I wasn't sure how I felt about it the first episode but was quickly sucked in to the story. I completely fell in love with the characters. Yoon Shi Yoon as Enrique Geum was charming and incredibly likeable. What a good actor! Park Shin Hye as Go Dok Mi was believable and a good match for Enrique. The story line was great and kept me interested the whole time. There were a couple nights I was up until 2am because I didn't want to stop watching!! The ending was really satisfying, too. Anyhow, I highly recommend this show - definitely worth watching.

I’m watching Meteor Garden on Netflix. The casting for female and male lead is perfect. I like the cast for the F4 members, too.

I’ve seen the other versions of this story, and I’ve always had a problem with some of the physical violence. So, I knew that going in. I hate to see women being treated roughly. What I found in this one is that the male lead likes the female lead but he’s immature. He acts like a young boy with the girl he likes - picking on her and just being an idiot. However, there are moments where he’s incredibly sweet, and those make my heart flutter.

What I love is that - in this version - I can actually tell that the male lead really likes the female lead. He’s clearly got personality issues and doesn’t know how to communicate (not a surprise if you’ve seen the other versions), but I find myself liking him a bit more. He’s also good-looking! Like - REALLY good-looking!

The female lead is cute. I like her and find myself rooting for her a lot.

I can’t stop watching this show. I’m kind of obsessed. So, if you can get past some of the violence, it’s an addictive drama with moments of real sweetness.
