Que Sera Sera has gotta be one of the best under-rated Korean dramas out there. The plot and the story are not exceptional, but the excellent acting, screenplay and characterizations make this drama stand out. And what seals the deal is the ending. One of the best Kdrama endings in my opinion. The conversion of the bad guy into a human with emotions has been portrayed meticulously through the various ups and downs and twists in the plot. All the characters with their human flaws and shortcomings will leave a permanent impression on you. Rewatch value is less though, since one wouldn't want to experience all the angst that the leads go through once again.

WARNING-may contain slight spoilers

a marvellous mini series (if that's the correct term)which enthralls right from the start and never lets go. In it's 36 or so hours, it seldom puts a foot wrong. The performances from some of the actors including female are hard to gauge in particular the two leading men, and the leading actressess ie Oh Yoon Ah as hye ap, who i nominate as the sexiest female character I've seen in a long time, and we never even get to see her legs. Then there is Choi Jung Won as Princess Yeon, who is full of grace and serenity. But I have no doubt that the best performance comes from Jung Jin Young as king yuri. plaudits also to among others Kim Hye Ri as as Lady Mi Yoo (Yeo Jin's mother), and Han Jin Hee as King Daeso. yes, there are faults. There is plenty of fighting, but very little blood. At one stage, i thought a character who was being executed had survived. it looked like the excutioners blade had missed him. but no, he had been killed. when one of the main characters is killed in a rather inhumane way, and his friend has the oppurtunity to treat the instigator in like manner, he doesn't. perhaps it's to do with korean tv restrictions. the two leading male and female characters are not without fault. At one stage, she poisons someone, and he has a tendency at times to kill people who are no threat to him. perhaps it was just one person, i can't temember. i see those as positive aspects of the series. When one of the lead characters dies, my heart broke. and i cried like anthing. That is one of the great strenths of korean movies and tv dramas; the emotion they can get from you, and also how they involve you in the stories. highly recommonded without reservations

I really liked this I've seen the anime and this I liked better in some ways. I was also happy Sunako doesn't become a chibi in this, thank god. There was also more of the romance aspect to the live action. I really didn't think the guys were as cute as any of them should have been but I still loved Kyohei and Sunako, so cute! It has B grade effects but that was very easy for me to over look as most anime turned live action tend to to lack in the graphics department anyway. I will buy the series if I can every find it in region 1 dvd. The ending was good but I could have done without the last 10 seconds but it was good and better then the anime ending as far as I'm concerned. It's a fun, light hearted, romantic, comedy I've watched several times now.

I'll start backwards here. The end was good, sweet, I liked the last 5 minutes of it. Happy, happy, cute, cute. However, the story seemed to lack something important. It seemed to be hard to follow in that I wasn't sure what the actors were trying to say or convey. Oh and Ji Eun's "friends" I wanted to pull my hair out I hated them so much. Am I being a bit to harsh? It was also so back and forth I could hardly stand it, I wanted to scream. I hate feeling like that at all. I know sometimes it might be unavoidable in a drama but if I watch 16 episodes of something and I feel that way through nearly all of them or some part of every episode I don't care how great it ends in that last 5 freakin minutes it was hardly worth watching. I totally skipped half epsisode 15 because I couldn't take it. Ah but the lead guy young jae was too cute with his little boy faces though I'd probably want to kill him in real life, he was totally cute though I wanted to beat him most of the series.

I liked a lot about this but there was also a lot that bothered me. Still it was a really good show and I would totally recommend people to watch it if you like action and a touch of romance, hot guys and intrigue. However, for me, it lacked the ending I crave and so I base a lot on what I think of an ending. It wasn't a bad ending just not my kind of ending. It was too ambiguous for me and not the final, polished, finished, fabulous ending I like. But as it was not meant to be a romance drama it still ending well. It seemed to leave it open for a second part. The story was great and though not typically my type of show it was very good.

I am a die hard \"You\''re Beautiful\" fan and after watching this I still prefer the K-version over the J-version. I thought the J-version seemed to be missing the depth, humor and feeling (and hotness) of the K-version. However, on saying this, it was still very good and the ending was much better and more finished then the K-version. It took that extra two minutes and finished it off so nicely. I also loved that they brought in Jang Geun Suk in one of the episodes as himself, ah so cute.
I also thought the J-version did very well in voicing Ren and Mio\''s like for each other. \"Ren\" the Hwang Tae Kyung of this version grew on me pretty fast. So I was able to accept him quickly. \"Mio\" the Go Mi Nam of this version is very good also and is pretty much the same in either version to me just not quite as ditzy acting. The other two main guys I never really excepted very well I can\''t even remember there names in J-version. Sadly, it was too hard for me not to compare them to Jeremy and Shin woo. But the story is not entirely the same so it was different enough to keep me interested. I still liked it a lot because the story is still a great one.
