So I had really high expectations for this drama, since everyone spoke so highly of it. To be honest, it disappointed me a little. I wasn't completely captivated by seeing the first one, two or even third episode. I kept watching because it did caught me attention, it just wasn't my first priority. But this DID change! When I came across episode 7 or 8, the story became interesting and I was aching to know what was coming next. The last 4 episodes really kept me watching, but the overall ending disappointed me. It kind of reminded me of the movie Inception, in the end, Dom spins a toll and you want to know if it's real or not. That kind of endings really annoy me. Overall, I would give it a 9/10, and I'll tell you why:



The story was really good, I haven't read the original manga, but from the description of it, I guess there was a lot of change in it. Not only the setting, but also the relationships between the characters. I think this story was made for adults, rather than teens, and that hit the right spot. The links in the story came together as the drama progressed, it really came out great. 9/10



The cast was also good, I really liked Park Min Young and fell in love with Lee Min Ho, he's so handsome ;) I also really felt for Prosecuter Kim Young Joo (Lee Joon Hyuk). Because their acting was really good, the watcher feels the characters and experience the story with them. 10/10



The music, that's a different story. I liked the music, that's not the point, but I often felt the music was misplaced. Really, really often. Their were instrumentals used for suspense, but there was no action. There were also songs that were played with - this is how I feel - the wrong lyrics. Some of the songs were nice, other weren't. I have mixed feelings about the OST, but it went on my iPod anyway. I really do like Suddenly, by Kim Bo Kyung. Overall: 6/10.



I don't like re-watching, let me make this clear, but this drama, I would re-watch. Not for my own fun, but when a friends would ask me to watch City Hunter with him/ her, I would say 'Yes'. I do think you would be bothered by things you already know, but I always have that feeling, so yeah. 7/10.



Overall, I would give it a 9/10. Because I really enjoyed watching and that's the main thing. Enjoy!

Going into this I had no expectations and this was my first time watching anything with the leads...

Story- Predictable yet so engaging that you won't want to stop watching by the end of it. The cooking theme was done so well that even though you watch them do the same things every day it is fascinating and not repetitive. The romance was perfectly done because it wasn't so intense/messy but it wasn't simple/without conflict.

Acting/Cast- The leads are known to be amazing actors already but they were perfectly casted because of their amazing chemistry. I fell in love with the entire supporting cast.

Music- The first time I watched this I didn't notice the OST but the second time I watched it I downloaded all the songs to my Ipod. I listen to the songs all the time now.

Rewatch- Already watched it twice in the same year and I'll continue to do so.

Overall Pasta gives no surprises but it really is fascinating and with the awesome cast and OST it really is the whole package.

The story started off with a bang from the first ep. However, soon after it became a bi polar drama. Its suppose to be a light romance/ comedy but it had episodes that felt like I was watching a melodrama. There were many times I felt confused by the plot or should I say lack there of. As each episode past by I found myself saying okay maybe in the next ep conflict will arise and something big is going to happen. But nothing really happened. They had so many great characters that could have been used to make the plot more interesting but its like the writers brains went blank the entire drama.

The entire cast fit in thier roles well and they all meshed well together. PSH showed off her excellent skills as always. Young Hwa did okay enough with his role but I think if the script was better he could have shown off more of his personality. I feel like his character was one dimensional. Min Hyuk was love. He really outshined his CN Blue buddy. The actor that plays Ki Young is soo talented and I wished he had a larger role within the drama instead of 2 lines per ep.

The OST and score is brilliant. So fresh with the mix of traditional and rock. I also liked FT Islands song that is featured.

There is a great chance Id watch this again because I love the cast and music but im not really in a hurry.

Overall, the drama is a big disappointment story/plot wise but the characters and music will help get you through it.

Yoon Jae has being half living all her life. Waiting always for tomorrow. But one day, she receives a death note, and that day, she decides that she will live her life her way, without regrets or looking back. Ji Wook is living his life the way his father wants, and he is the man that she decides to fall in love with, and with a little help from above they meet and everything can happen.

The premise "I want to live even when I am dying" is a cliché, in this drama, the intensity of that feeling is powerful. I fall in love with this drama because of the emotion portrayed by every character and how they make me feel. I laugh; I cry and even ask myself why this thing happens, because in real life they happen. I specially love the music and the tango scenes, they are superb! Can't wait for the other episodes!!

I personally loved this drama. I felt that the main leads were a perfect couple together. This drama is really adorable and cute. It has the sweetest scenes in the world. Not only that, but I loved the cast considering I'm a big Yong Hwa fan. Lots of people only watch it for the cast and think the story line is poorly written. However, I strongly disagree. The story line is fresh, new, and I don't think it's very cliche. Even the songs were great and addicting! I can also see myself re-watching this drama thousands of times. This drama is definitely must watch for all ages!

I really really enjoyed watching this show although the beginning dragged abit I loved every moment of it. The standard of acting was remarkable especially Lee Jun Ki and its totally made me his fan! Everything was executed perfectly, the lovable funny characters were lovable and funny and the evil characters...well you would just hate them. This drama pulls you into the story and you feel a part of it - when they are sad you would feel sad for them. Honestly this is one of the best dramas I've seen in a while. I didnt expect much at first and I was quite bored but I really glad I didnt give up on it. The music again was amazing it matching the emotions and the scene that was happening. I am definately going to come back to rewatch this drama some time in the future soon and I am looking forward to it! A superb drama indeed!
