Super Cute

I was in the mood for something, light, fun and romantic. Fall in Love Like a Star delivered. It a sweet story about 2 childhood friends. One wants to be a musician and the other an agent. They love each other but Tian Xin knows that a relationship with Su Xing Yu will hinder his career so she breaks up with him. They meet again 5 years later and she becomes his agent and the sparks are still there but a paparazzi takes intimate pictures of them and once again she believes that the relationship will halt his now promising music career and she breaks up with him again. Eventually they get back together and live happily ever after. Super cute.

I LMAO when Tian Xin blew on a horn and then she saw a picture of where the horn had been. Too damn funny. I also LOL when they were on an airplane and Tian Xin's assistant was freaking out about the plane going down. The movie is nothing to write home about but sweet and enjoyable.

I really liked the characters and the story for the most part. The FL and both ML really good. It's an average film with your standard revenge plot. I loved actor Wang Yung Sheng. He's the villian here but I like him in everything he plays in. His skills and charisma, always awesome.

I didn't think the fight scenes were all that spectacular but there were two that were well choreographed. The fight scene between Jeanie Chang (FL) and Chan Lau (4th Brother) was excellent and the work with the pot was fantastic. The other was a fight scene between 2 older gentlemen; one of whom is the villain. Even though i don’t remember these 2 characters they were apparently part of the subplot. Fight was great with the 2 veteran martial arts actors. That was better than all the fights between any main characters. I really didnt even reacall the subplot while watching and was flabbergasted when the 2 showed up to fight over the 36 Deadly Styles book.

Bolo Yuen is here and for some inexplicable reason he is wearing a redheaded, braided wig. I literally, need someone to explain to me as to why the hell that wig was used. It looked like a black woman's wig from the 1970's disco era.

Slow and Boring

This is one of the most pointless movies I have ever watched.

While the plot is interesting, the story is all over the place. The movie opens with the police chief having nightmares but we don't get an explanation for this until essentially the end of the movie. The whole time I thought she was having a mental breakdown and honestly she was but not for the reasons I thought. I also thought she was living in an alternate reality. The Chief 's daughter is a nuisance.

The main plot about prostitution is terrible and frankly, sad. The best part of the movie is actress, Lee Yeon who plays Yae Un, the girl who is allegedy being prostituted against her will. There could have been a better story here but there is not.

Thrilling beginning but disappointing end

I am a huge fan of a revenge plotline. The show really keeps you captivated and mesmerized for most of the series. The whodunit aspects in the beginning really do keep you guessing. However, the show falters in the last few episodes. When the audience finds out the motivations for all this havok it's almost laughable. So anticlimatic. The police as usual, are dumber than a box of rocks and don't really serve a purpose in the story other than to annoy us.

The cast is good and all of the actors were new to me. I liked Seo Ji Hoon as Jaebum and Lomon as Seohoon. Seo Ji Hoon was excellent as Gi Osung. He nailed his role as the person you love to hate. He took smug and arrogant to a new level.

Overall, an enjoyable series to watch once. I loved Gsoul's song Lost Game which played throughout the series and was the closing theme song.

This is an average film but that's not a negative. It's a crime thriller with an interesting story. What was really great was the movie is essentailly broken down into chapters. We watch as Choi thinks he has the killer caught red handed and then realizes, as more information comes in that may not be the case. I loved how all the fact were being pulled together from different perspectives. The part about the shaman I thought was wierd but it didn't really hinder the story. But what a twist ending. Worth watching at least once.

The biggest plus is this stacked cast. So many good actors here and once again Shin Ha Kyun was excellent. I loved Cha Seung Won, Ryu Seung Ryong and Jang Young Nam as well.

This is unfortunately, one of the worse martial arts movies I have ever seen. I wanted a female revenge story with excellent martial arts choreography and I got this terrible film. I feel bad for Chia Ling because while she's good here and her martial arts are undeniable, this movie was subpar at best. The fight choreo was bad and the storyline/characters where all over the place. I couldn't really make heads or tails of who was who and what person's revenge story we were actually following.

The ending was poorly executed.. Normally, when the hero fights the big boss that sequence is usually the best in terms of fight choreo but when FL and the villian fight it was just bad and they way he met his end was laughable. The only plus in this film was the costumes.

Saccharine Sweet And I Loved It

This show is surprisingly, sweet and enjoyable. A coming of age story with hip-hop as the background. There were some heavy topics and I did not like Yeong-Baek's mother however, they did end of making her somewhat redeemable at the end. I loved his grandmother and she was perfectly played by Kim Young Ok.

I really liked the entire cast, especially the ML. He ws just so earnest. The FL was really good too and I like the little girl playing her sister. I was so here for Hyun-Min and he was such an adorable nerd. Shin Won Ho playing the bully/villain here was so funny. He was such a cutie in Legends of the Blue Sea.

The best thing about the series is the music. They writers did a very good job with the music in this series.

Good Legal Thriller/Drama

This drama was better that I thought it would be. I thought the entire cast was really good. I haven't seen the ML or FL in anything but this but they both played their roles well.

The greatest performance for me, however, was Kim Sang Ho who is one of my favorite character actors. He play Chisik to heart achingly, tragic perfection. This man deserves all the awards for best supporting actor. The last episode of the series is one of the best episodes of TV I have watched this year and his performance is why.

The series is about evil men doing evil deeds and not being hed accountable but someone decides they need to be. It's also a commentary on how the Court/legal system is unjust due to the influence of the wealthy defendants.

I really like the opening theme song and the the Silver linings song in the OST.

I really enjoyed this buddy cop movie!

Technically, PSJ and KHN aren't cops yet just police university students who happen upon a kidnap/egg donor/organ removing scheme. Even with the seriousness of the stroryline. This movie is laugh out loud funny! The scene where they are poking one of the villians with the skewer had me on the floor!!

There were some really dumb moments of course by the police and that pissed me off entirely. They went to look for a moguls son instead of kidnapped women and then the scene at the police station was completely ridiculous nearly runined the movie for me.

PSJ and KHN should be in more comedies together. They were both so good here.

I loved Park Ha Sun as Joo Hee she had a limited part but she was fantastic!

This is the movie that made me fall in love with Shu Qi. I have seen this movie multiples times and have loved it ever sense my first time.

The first action sequence is superb. Shu Qi hanging from a ceiling while killing the bad guys was awesome the first time I saw it and now. Really great fight choreography and action scenes. Loved the car chase thru the city and the shoot out in the car garage. It's a really good story too. The CGI doesnt hold up but eveything else is still great!

I loved this bad ass female cast too. Karen Mok and Zhao Wei round it out very nicely. I always recommend this movie to people who love actions movies and who have never seen Shu Qi.

Won Bin is Fantastic - Excellent Fight Scenes

OMG this was so good. The best Korean action flick I've watched this year. Excellent story and phenomenal cast. This is the first thing I watched with Won Bin and I am super impressed now I have to watch everthing else.

I was surprised to see Kim Sung Oh as that nasty, label loving, hot head. I have never seen him as the villain and he was really good. Kradum Thanayong Wongtrakul was excellent as the enforcer for the bad guys. He has an intensity in his face that was menacing yet somehow kind. He was a presence on screen. Kim Sae Ron was great as the young lead.

I give this a 10 overall and you can rewatch multiple times. My only gripe is that I wished the main villian's last scene had been more brutal.

Action packed, high octane movie with bad ass FL.

Really loved the FL in this, especially in the action scenes. Overall I enjoyed the story and it was good but toward the end it faltered a bit and became too melodramatic. Because the film was inspired by Le Femme Nikita the action sequences were excellent and high velocity and I loved them. This is the first FL action movie I have watched from Korea and it was not a disappointmemt. I put actress Kim Ok Bin up there with Angelina Jolie as my 100% believeable female action star. My only gripe with the movie is the very last scene b/c forget the fact that he killed her father he...**** SPOLIER ALERT**** I won't say but when you watch you will understand. Like why the hell was she hesitating???

Laugh out Loud funny

This is one of the best comedies I've watched in a long time. So many scenes LOL funny. Body swap movies are hit or miss and this one knocked it out of the park with an excellent cast to boot.

A lot of the older supporting cast I have seen in other things and they were all good especially Lee Joon Hyuk as Man Chul (Pan Soo's right-hand man). Ra Mi Ran as Mi Sun was fantastic. I haven't really seen the younger cast in much but the standout however was Jung Jin Young as Dong Hyun. He was so good as the gangster in the teenagers body. I mean he just nailed the role.

I loved the scene where he slaps the bully and the bully was outdone that he was being slapped. I loved the scene where Pan Soo/Dong Hyu was trying to get back into his own body at the beginning. I loved the scene at the rich kids house and Dong Hyu was beating everyone up and I loved the last big fight scene at Mi Sun's bar it was really good action sequence. I also love that Dong Hyu was even taking real hits.

Overall I gave this a 9 but a very close 10. The reason it's not a 10 is b/c the ending was just ok. But I would def watch again and highly recommend.

I'm giving this movie a 7/10 because I really liked the story and the actors in this movie. The reason it's not getting an 8 is because the ending was just crazy or maybe the version I saw cut a scene or something. The way the villian meets his end made no sense.

Both male leads had good chemistry and I enjoyed the main villian. The last fight choreography was good too even if they slowed it down a bit. I didn't mind that though because you get to see the attacks and counter attacks cleanly. Theres another scene I really loved where the villian is practiiong his moves and the black and red contrast were excellent.

I thoroughly enjoyed the middle section of the movie when the hero is being trained in the invincible armour technique by a younger character. The young actor was really good too and I like his facial expressions. You don't really see that in these films and I like how those scenes played out.
