Call me stupid, but when I first began watching this drama, I did not realize "Irene" was actually a boy. I mean, I watched this because I clicked on the first episode in youtube. And I don't know how I did not see Irene's body and realized he was not a girl... so you might imagine how I nearly died of laughter when I found out who he was.
And that was not the only time I was laughing.
There were some clichés that could have made my eyes roll, but I completely ignored them because I was enjoying this too much. I don't regret for a second watching this. It really cheered me up, and I was quite saddened by the fact that it only had three episodes.
The story itself wasn't really that original. As I mentioned before, really clichéd... except for the fact that this time around, the one cross-dressing is the boy. But, you know, it was super cute. And a large part of it was because of the actors' portrayal, so kudos to them (especially Min Hoo, whom I just loved dressed as G-Dragon). I really don't remember the music... so since it did not bother me, I gave it a 9.
I'm not a re-watch person, but I'd definitely watch this again! I can't really pinpoint a group of people to whom I'd recommend this. It might depend on your level of maturity, or what you want to watch that day. I mean, Ma Boy... I'm actually surprised that I loved it as much as I did! So, take a risk, and watch this. You probably won't regret it :P

(WARNING: This review might be a bit biased, courtesy of Rain's character, and not accurate, since I watched this last year before summer).
This drama brings back so many good memories! This was the second drama I watched, and I remember coming home from school and putting off homework just to watch it :P Some events were repetitive or... dumb, and some actions from certain characters left me with a blank face. But I enjoyed putting up with it because Full House is awesome! It is a sweet and funny story, and even if the idea is common in k-dramas, it still has its own unique spark. I think it was Song Hye Gyo's and Rain's chemistry, and, of course, Rain's character, Young Jae! I cannot find any reasons why you could not love him.
All in all, I recommend this to anyone. Why? Even I, a newbie, knows this is a classic. Plus, there's a big possibility that you'll enjoy it.
P.S. To Song Hye Gyo's character: you call those dimwits friends? I'm still doubting your sanity for forgiving them...

Even though I love spy plots and heard about this movie so many times, I was still stupid enough to put off watching it for later. I don't regret for a second having spent my afternoon watching this because, quite frankly, this movie is the definition of awesome!
Two things stood out most: a) The hilarious scenes. If you're looking for a good laugh, then be my guest and watch this! b) The amazing acting. I think both main leads did a great job... this is the first Korean movie/series in which the female lead didn't make me roll my eyes. Not even once! And Kang Ji Hwan did one of the best jobs out there. Also, the foreigners LOL. Numerous times I've heard that foreigners don't act well in Korean stuff, but these ones did. I'd also like to point out that the action scenes were not cheesy. So props for that! Now, to finish off... if you want a good laugh paired up with great acting and an interesting plot, I suggest you watch this :P
