Watched it last year but still a great drama! I usually get bored & drop dramas very easily, so i can't believe i watched the 52 episodes !

The beginning is kind of slow, so i found myself skipping most of the family oriented scenes & only wanted to see the relationship between the 2main leads. But after (i'd say around the 10th-15th episodes maybe?) those were my favorites scenes & i couldn't miss one. Indeed the interactions between all the characters (there are a lot!) are very fun to watch, the characters are lovable & really grow on you & it depicts a lot of aspects of Korean culture which i found really interesting.

One of the most important thing for me is that there aren't any frustrating or despicable characters. They're all amazing (especially Ah Damo, his father, Gongjoo & Sonja!). Even the "bad" ones (annoying jealous rara for instance) change & become nice. Characters getting on my nerves & whose behaviours are stupid, irrational to the point I wanna murder them are the main reason why i often cannot finish dramas (especially when they are the main leads). So the fact that the only person i hated in there has a bad ending, god i wanted to hug the writers!

On the romance side, great great great! Even though the story is somewhat far-fetched (well, it's a kdrama we're talking about), their relationship feels real & reaaaally passionate at the same time. Completely fell in love with Ah damo. (I usually don't fall that hard for a character haha) Dan Saran is also great & strong-willed ,of course she isn't perfect & can get kind of irritating sometimes (Not to me though)

=> If you want a mix of warm&hilarious; family-oriented scenes (Andreeeeeee) and a passionate romance, wrapped up in a nice setting (Gisaeng;)!), providing you're patient (52 episodes!) this is the drama for you !

PS:
I rated 7 for the story because it's good but kind of typical, it's actually the humor & the amazing acting that made the drama ! Rewatch value: i usually don't rewatch dramas, & especially not this one since it's so long, but i have found myself rewatching some parts here & there , still laughing.

Stopped halfway: way too frustrating & story that doesn't go anywhere.

I wasn't really convinced by this drama when i read the senario, but seeing how park min young was in it and the positive reviews, i decided to give it a shot. Well after watching the first episode i was glad i did: i though surprisingly it was a very promising start and it got me completely hooked.
But unfortunately, after that one great episode it just gets more and more frustrating, so frustrating that i just couldn't take it anymore and had to stopped. I mean they show us everything in the 1st episode so you want to know how far it will get but after, it just feels like going backwards since the characters keep on doing the stupidest things ever. So we're stuck, the story doesn't get anywhere, on the contrary.
I personally didn't like the 2 male leads either. They get on your nerves, but maybe it has also something to do with the characters they're portraying. Anyway they don't grow on you. As for Park Min Young, for once i didn't like her acting (who doesn't want to pull out her hair every time she smiles like an idiot?)

Anyway, my words may be a little harsh . Of course it's not the worst and has some good points compared with other dramas. Some might even enjoy it. However it was too much of a disappointment : maybe the contrast between its potential and the actual episodes made me lose it. I watched this a month ago but even now i get irritated thinking about it. Too bad because i really felt like this drama had potential: loved the 1st episode and the soundtrack.

I love the manga and the japanese version, i can't count how many times i have read/watched it. I actually never get tired of it! So of course i'm glad there are so many different versions. But i have to say that i didn't like BBF. I only watched it because it was eye-candy (hot actors, great music, glamourous...). I wouldn't say it's not worth watching - i don't regret it - but the only thing i enjoyed was the storyline... so nothing really surprising, it's got nothing to do with them, i can only thank the mangaka for that ...
Oh and i couldn't finish it. The real issue with this drama is that i wasn't convinced by their acting and the way they adapted the story at all. It's not that they're bad actors - far from that, i love them - just that something is off. I don't understand their feelings, i especially don't believe their feelings,it all seems far-fetched. Sure, it IS a drama after all. But i could really believe and understand in the japanese version, even though i hate the main actress and the actors are not that good-looking (and i don't really like shun oguri). Ok, jun matsumoto is great- guilty.
So it all comes down to this: even though everything singled out is better in BBF (hot hot hot actors!) , the result isn't that great. I didn't feel anything watching this, whereas i went through a roller coaster of emotions in HYD (much much better!)

If you don't want to watch the same story several times, please watch the japanese version. I would recommend this drama only for those who already saw the japanese version and really love it , and have some time to waste (cause let's face it, there are much better dramas).
