Who doesn’t love a good romcom with a bonus of Gong Yoo? That's what I was expecting but...

This movie claims to be a romantic comedy and I feel like they didn’t fufill that. It wasn’t that hilarious nor was there real romance. Sure there were subtle funny scenes here and there but nothing that will make you fall out of your seat. As for romance, the couple goes on “dates” but its not identified as dates and their relationship really doesn’t get explored much. The ending was open-ended which I didn’t like. Still, the movie has enough going on to keep you from getting bored.

A positive I found was the lead actors. Their acting was natural and they had good chemistry.

Because I liked the lead actors I wouldn’t mind seeing this again because it wasn’t horribly boring but its not something I have to see right away.

Overall this movie is forgettable although worth a watch once.

I came upon this drama only because I was a new Roy Chiu fan after watching him in Easy Fortune Happy Life. I had never watched a Mainland Chinese drama before so I was very hesitant because I can barely get through Taiwanese dramas…

Story- It’s very business oriented but has a lot of good light scenes thrown in here and there to keep it balanced. There are 2 romances. The first, is the romance between the main couple (Hu Ge & Tiffany Tang’s characters). The second, which is the sole reason I continued watching, is the romance between Roy Chiu & Stephy Qi’s characters. Their romance arc was sooo much fun to watch. Most of their scenes were funny and hot! I was kind of mad that they didn’t have a lot of scenes together though. I wish they took out all those boring meeting scenes and replaced them with more of Wei Xiao/Ye Rou! The synopsis hints to the fact that this is a sort of revenge drama but I thought it was kind of disappointing in that respect. It really only happens in the last 3 episodes but it was very quick and I was kind of confused with the outcome. I really liked the ending it was satisfying;)

Acting/Cast- I was really surprised by the acting. It was so much better than what I’ve seen in Taiwanese dramas. I liked that the characters were written with brains and are just very mature. I really thought the entire cast did a great job. The villains were villainy but I still felt sorry for them and didn’t want what was coming to them. The writers make you feel sympathetic for them.

Music- I really liked the score it fit the scenes beautifully. The OST was good but light.

Rewatch- I’d rewatch this again maybe 2 years from now.

Overall Unbeatable is a drama about overcoming whatever obstacles may come your way in both your professional and personal lives. I liked the life messages it sent out. If you ever feel like trying out a non historical mainland drama then I definitely would recommend this one.

Story- Starts of hilariously. The male leads in fat suit getting ready to be married to his love. She leaves him at the alter and after many years he comes back as a hottie pro golfer. Of course he wants to rub it in her face and she just wants him back for his money. Or does she? The drama\''\''s only weakness is the plot drags a lot in the middle. The end is cute tho!

Acting/Cast. Everyone in this drama can act. Oh Ji Ho is funny as always and is the Korean Brad Pitt. The female lead is so likable even though her character is suppose to be unlikable. You root for her. The supporting female I despise. She is sooo annoying! The second male lead is a good actor but his looks make his rival role not believable. You def cannot compare him to Oh Ji Ho!!

Music- ordinary

Rewatch- Not rewatchable in my opinion.

Overall- A drama with potential so watch maybe the first 8 episodes than skip to the last 2 or 3 eps. Believe me you dont miss much...

I wasn't really expecting anything going into Architecture 101 just because i didnt think a movie about building a house would seem that interesting. However, there was more to it...

First, the plot was a calm one with the building of a house and reconnection of the main characters being the focal point of the present story line. The past storyline gives us important info on how the main characters met(as friends) and what were the events that led to their separation (still friends at that point). I really did like the story until the ending. The ending just didn't work for me but i guess you could say it was a realistic one.

Second, I thought this was well casted. UTW & HGI played thier older versions well and they had really good chemistry. As for the younger versions of thier characters Suzy & Lee Je Hoon were adorable and matched well. I know Jo Jung Sook had a very small role but once again he manages to make his character stand out.

Overall the actors are what makes the movie memorable but the ending kind of ruins my overall enjoyment for it.

I was really excited to watch Wild Romance because Lee Shi Young (whom I adore) was the female lead and also the way they were advertising made it seem like this was going to be a pretty hilarious drama…

Story- The first 6 episodes were 10/10. They were comedy gold and the chemistry between LSY & LDW was off the charts. I looked forward to new eps each week with a passion. About the 8th episode is when my love for this show started to die. This is when the writers copped out and decided to use the “bringing back the ex gf” plot device. I REALLY hate when writers do this because it brings the quality of the drama down for me. That and the fact that the stalker storyline got dragged out for too long made it become just another average romantic comedy. Not unwatchable but nothing special either. That brings me to the romance part of this drama. In my opinion there was no romance in this and I don’t care what anybody says. Seriously we have to wait till all the way at the end for them to confess to each other and even kiss?! To me it seemed random because for more than ¾ of this drama MY was obsessed with Jessica’s character. Then all of the sudden he realizes “oh hey I think I really do like Eun Jae!” Sorry but that type of “romance” doesn’t interest me. This is not a romantic comedy as it seemed like a comedy/drama/thriller.

Acting/Cast- LSY is magnificent in her tomboyish role Eun Jae. Although I didn’t like the way the writers changed the character’s personality in the middle. I don’t like my characters to be pathetic and obsessed with some guy. It just turns me off. LDW is just an okay actor although I appreciated he had such a good chemistry with LSY. Loved the supporting cast and although most of their characters were oddballs or borderline psychotic they all pulled off their roles and made them believable. Just want to mention that Jessica did an okay job playing her lifeless/emotionless character. This is coming from an unbiased opinion as I didn’t really know who she was until they mentioned she was a member of Girls Generation=)

Music- The OST was memorable enough to put a couple of the songs on my ipod

Rewatch- I honestly don’t know if its worth my time to watch it a second time because I loved the cast but the story wasn’t impressive…

Overall Wild Romance is just another average romantic comedy but with an awesome cast. So watch once just for them.

I like the writer’s past work, Yoon Eun Hee as an actress, and I was curious if Yoochun could win me over (haven’t liked any of his characters)…

Story: I actually think the writer had a solid plot. It’s a bit darker than what I expected but twisty stories are up my alley. The writer’s downfall is a slow moving plot. An episode count of 16 would have made for a fast paced plot. I loved the surprise ending!

Acting/Cast: Wow did Yoochun really impress! His character was my favorite in this drama and has made it in my top 5 favorite drama characters of all time. Yoon Eun Hye did not disappoint but the way her character was written didn’t sit well with me. Her character was too depressing and in the beginning really unlikable. Yoo Seung Ho was brilliant for being the youngest main actor, being able to keep up with the vets. As for the supporting they all did a great job.

Music: It was what you would expect from a melo but nothing memorable.

Rewatch: I would consider watching this again because of the ending and my love for Jung Woo, but not for a while because this drama was too depressing to watch.

Overall if you like melodramas with amazing acting and a good ending Id recommend this.

I usually don’t write reviews for dramas I drop but I think after watching 10 eps I have a good grasp of what the drama was about and after finding out the ending I really wanted to put my two cents in…

Story- The first 2 episodes are entertaining and fun. However, plot wise they were a waste of space. The characters are not really introduced in the way they should be so you can get a feel for who each one is. After that you will find that once the story starts to stabilize it becomes just another predictable school drama with no substance. It really becomes just mindless watching. I didn’t like the way the romances were written and they just made the drama feel drawn out. Other than that, nothing really happens to keep your attention. The ending seemed just really lame and it made me super happy I did not waste my time and watch the rest of the episodes.

Acting/Cast- The acting wasn’t that bad actually. It wasn’t award winning or anything but everyone pretty much managed to make their characters watchable. I do have to say that I enjoyed watching both Ji Yeon and Jinwoon’s performances because they brought energy to their characters. Another thing I wanted to mention is they wrote in too many characters, which made the drama, seem all over the place at times. They should have focused on the core 6 and add in some characters here and there but I really didn’t like having to keep up with all these side characters. This time around I didn’t like most of the adult characters except for the former rocker principle and JYP’s character. My final thought on the casting is they could’ve done better.

Music- I loved DH 1’s OST so much I put it on my ipod straight away. Unfortunately I didn’t get the urge to do that this time around. Sure there were some catchy and memorable songs that fit the drama well but I only really liked 2 which doesn’t make this an OST I really have to listen to. That’s pretty disappointing considering this is a MUSIC themed drama.

Rewatch- Couldn’t finish it so Id pass on watching this again. I can just watch the frist one again.

Overall Dream High 2 tried too hard to live up to its predecessor coming in to the game with too much confidence and instead gives the audience a bitter taste and longing for the first one all the way throughout.

Probably like everyone else the only reason I wanted to watch this is because of Vic Zhou...

Story- Not bad but not amazing either. It was written enough to keep your attention till the end. That being said the way they wrote the romance was quite disappointing. It wouldn't be such a problem if the genre of this drama wasn't Romance. Let me warn you the romance doesnt begin till the last episode. And then your suppose to believe that its possible that they would want to get married? I'm sorry but I just wasn't impressed with the sill ending.

Acting/Cast- Good acting by everyone and I loved the leads together. I just wish their characters interacted more.

Music- Good Ost but nothing Id listen to outside the show.

Rewatch- Its rewatchable but Im not sure If I'd rewatch it or not, just because I was a bit disapointed with the story.

Overall Sweet Relationship is worth watching once.

Story- heartwarming and inspriring. Basically there to send a message to the audience about not giving up on your dreams. There is a little romance going on with a cute ending.

Acting/Cast-First, I have to say I loved Kim Tae Hee in this. She really was believable as a Jockey. She had to play tough but still kept the pretty. I liked the male lead and they had a good chemistry for what thier relationship in the movie called for(still couldnt help picturing Song Sung Hyun in this role though as its my dream for him and KTH to do every movie/drama together from now on lol). I also wanted to mention the child actress. She was so good in her dramatic scenes and so cute to watch.

Music- The score was lovely. There was an original song that was kind of catchy and it sounded like it was KTH singing it.

Rewatch- This is a movie that can easily be watched again however since I didnt love the male lead Id probably wait a few years.

Overall this was an enjoyable watch.
