Story- Suspenseful. Somehow even though the plot is simple, you still want to watch to see what happens in the next episode. The ending was nice. The episode count needed to be shortened to 16.

Acting/Cast- Moon Goon Young was chilling as the evil cinderella. The second female lead is annoying but still likeable. I really felt sorry for her. The male lead is amazing. The supprting cast are all great actors.

Music- Very good songs that make he drama flow.

Rewatch- Id watch this two years from now.

Overall- The phenomenal acting will keep you watching till the end.

The story was well written, hilarious, and melodramatic in the right places. The ending was awesome!

I like LDH and feel like she fit her role perfectly. LDW was very attractive but he can't act! He feels like a statue to me. They also didnt have any chemistry which ruined the romance portion. I liked the second male lead better. The second female lead cant act! I hated her character. The rest of the supporting cast was just okay.

I really liked the music. Fit well with the changing tone of the show.

Average rewatch value just because the cast wasn\''t spectacular.

Overall I really loved this drama because of the writing and the music. It couldve been better with better casting but I would still one of the better older dramas.

Oh My Lady is a well written drama being that the story is your average older woman/younger man relationship scenario. It actually gets better and better with each episode, especially during the second half. The ending is simple but happy.

The cast was alright. I wan't really in love with any of the characters but all the actors made them believable. I do have to give a shout out to the child actors. They were so adorable!

The music was just okay nothing memorable though and I'm not sure Id rewatch this or not just because I wasn't too fond of the cast.

Overall this was pretty good and worth watching once.

Story- Very different from most stereotypical K Dramas. It incorporates pretty much all the genres which consited of comedy, action, romance, music themed. The pace is good but some episodes did feel longer than others. The ending was cute and one of the best endings in a drama ever!

Acting/Cast- Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won had excellent chemistry even though they are complete opposites. The supporting cast was fantastic!

Music- Beautiful score & OST.

rewatch- because there are a ton of funny moments & the cast is just awesome, Id watch this once a year.

Overall- This drama is the best korean drama ever made!

Story- Not your conventional kdrama. This is very politically driven which didn't appeal to me a first. I got to say though you will learn a lot about politcs. The drama offers many hilarious moments and many frustrating moments as well. This adds to the obsession factor. However, There's a couple of episodes when they are running for the elections which made me lose interest so I had to take off 1 point for that. Awesome ending!

Acting/Cast- Kim Sun Ah really really impressed me here. I did not like her in Kim Sam Soon so I was weary about her role in this drama. Man I was so shocked that she was hilarious and likeable. The growth of her character was really great to watch. Cha Sung Won was very charismatic and sly in his role. I really became a fan of his in this. Both leads had sizzling chemistry. The supporting cast was a bit annoying at times but they were great.

Music- Only a couple of songs in this one. The theme song will get in your head forever LOL.

Rewatch- Because of the OTP was so intense I definitely could watch this twice a year.

Overall- Unexpectedly amazing show which you will watch more than once.

The story imitates real life. Friendship turns into romance. Basic very straightforward story. It's one of the better realistic dramas. very refreshing actually.

The acting is very natural by everyone. You believe the large group of friends have been friends for a while. They make you want to be a part of their group. The leads had a good romantic chemistry that made you frustrated that they didn't get together sooner.

I'll probably rewatch this a while from now just because the story wasn't too out of the ordinary.

Overall this offers a piece of real life that you will also take a way something from.

I have no idea why I even started this one because a drama about 40 year olds really doesnt call out to a girl in her early 20s...

Story: Starts off with the two leads randomly bumping into each other on a set of a commercial. The first 2 episodes are hilarious as the male lead starts to fall in love with the female lead ( who was his past love) but he hasnt seen what she looks like in the present (shes changed for the worst). Although this drama is a predictable romcom, the writers did a solid job with making it entertaining but also writing a story with substance. It has one of the best endings Ive ever seen.

Acting/Cast: Jung Joon Ho (Iris, Queen of Reversals) brings IT in this one. His jealousy makes the show. His character is too hilarious. All his expressions are priceless! The lead actress did a great job portraying her ahjumma character. It was nice to see her transform from an ugly duckling to a pretty woman. Loved the makeover scene!
I did find the way the writers wrote her character a little off-putting at times because at first she comes off as naive/too obsessed with her first husband and it takes most of the drama before she convinces herself its okay to love Jae Bin. The rest of the supporting cast is great too!


Music: Kind of chessy but didnt take away from the enjoyment of the drama itself.

Rewatch: Quick pacing makes this something i can watch over and over again if i had the time.

Overall: This is geared to an older audience but if a 22 year old girl (me) is raving about it then it has to be really good right? Watch it!

My first Action drama ever (huge romcom fan), I took a chance due to my new found obsession with Jang Hyuk...

Story: Fast paced and unpredictable, revenged themed, with an angsty love-line thrown in. The ending is WTF!

Acting/Cast: This my first Lee Byung Hun led drama. Well what an introduction it was! Not only is he good looking but he is an amazing actor that was made for this role. He had such an amazing chemistry with Kim Tae Hee. Although I really like her, I think Kim So Yeon kind of stole the show. All of the rest of the lead and supporting actors were perfect. They really casted this one well! Just be prepared to see some characters come and go...

Music: Actually a really good mix that fit when the mood changed (romantic to action scenes).

Rewatch: I loved the entire cast and the plot was exciting so I definitely will watch this one again but not for a bit case the ending left a bitter taste.

Final Thoughts: I dare anyone who hasnt seen this to give it a try if they want an exciting 20 hour ride!

I seriously was depressed while watching this drama and even days after. Its such a roller coaster ride. The leads had great chemistry. I hated all the running they did though and the music kind of got on my nerves. But even with that I cant hate the drama as a whole. I really despised KTH in this drama not because shes a bad actress but I wanted to kill her character in every episode! LOL. She redeemed herself though with MY Princess and Iris=) I dont agree with reviewers that say its a slow paced drama. For a MD its actually pretty fast paced. The ending was too sad that it made me not want to watch other melodramas. Even so, the ending was beautiful. Man I just hate sad endings!!

When I watched this I was on a Park Shi Hoo craze and of course i like a good romcom...

Story: The first half of the drama masks itself as an ordinary romcom in a law setting. Its enjoyable but not anything ive never seen before. Now after episode 9 hits you will think your starting to watch a whole new drama. The second half is filled with a revenge plot and also a frustrating angsty romance. I liked that it was a romcom but withan actual plot. I loved the ending!!

Acing/Cast: I already knew PSH is a great actor but I was really surprised by Kim So Yeon. Her character in the beginning can come off as an annoying ditsy and materialistic brat but the writers give her a personality makeover and lots of character growth so bear with her. The leads though were perfectly casted cause their chemistry was HOT! I liked the second lead couple but wished their relationship started a bit earlier in the drama because it was kind of unbelievable how they become a couple by the end. Really liked the supporting cast and cared about their characters.

Music: At first I found 2 of the songs annoying as they played them over and over in the beginning but they matched the theme well enough. I liked the rest of the songs they used throughout enough to put on my ipod.

Rewatch: I can see myself watching this every year just to see the leads together on my screen=)

Overall Prosecutor Princess is not what it seems so give it a chance or you'll be missing out on one of the best romcoms of 2010!

I was a little weary of watching at first just because I wasn't familiar with anyone in the cast. However this drama really surprised me...

The story idea was new and very interesting. Its more of a family drama with a few twists which keeps the plot interesting and never boring. This drama is very well written and deserves its 20 episode count. My only critique would be the ending. It could have ended better.

The lead actress was superb in her role. Her character growth is one of the best I've ever seen in a drama. I feel like anyone could have played the main guy's role. His character was quite boring also. However, I really liked the second male leads i.e. the brothers who vie for the romantic affections of our female heroine. Their characters had depth and provided fun.

Music was not memorable.

I'd watch this again because I was engaged in the story.

Overall this is a heartwarming drama filled with life lessons.

I watched this only because after watching Prosecutor Princess I needed to see more dramas Park Shi Hoo was in...

Story: Too long, messy, draggy. I felt uncomfortable watching at times just because the romance was too weird. It really pissed me off. The ending was kind of dumb. In all honesty I didnt like it at all but it was watchable enough that I didn't fast forward.

Acting/Cast: I thought the casting for most characters were spot on. However, Park Shi Hoo's acting was a bit bland. I dodn't know if its the fact I hated his character or if his acting really was bad back then but yeah didnt like it one bit. I also wanted to mention my distaste for the way the writers changed Bae Doo Na's character. She started off as this tough chick but by the end of the drama she turned weak even willing to be a mistress! I was just shocked and very annoyed at that.

Music: Don't remember it but i dont think it affected anything.

Rewatch: I could never watch this again or Id have to rip my hair out.

Overall, I'd say this drama is watchable but you might not enjoy it.

A friend of mine recommended this movie to me and gave me the dvd but I never watched it since I was too busy. However, the moment arrived when I finally got time to watch it when my neighborhoods power went out (Thank you laptop!) and so I was finally able to watch the epicness that is Moon Child. The story is amazing, involving vampires, friendship, and tons of action. The Cast/Acting was amazing. The music was alright and served it's purpose well. Even for rewatch value, i'd say this gets a 7. Overall though, this movie is a solid 9, and a movie that everyone should watch.

'Personal Taste' is my 2nd Korean drama. I read its synopsis and felt it was worth giving this series a try. It was pretty enjoyable. The comedy is light and not exaggerated. A few remarkable scenes made me giggle, and I clearly remember, I cried twice. The cast is good. Son Ye Jin, Lee Min Ho, Kim Ji Suk and Wang Ji Hye fit their respective roles. Han Chang Ryul (Kim Ji Suk) is supposed to be hated as he is the antagonist but I liked him instead as towards the end, I developed a soft spot for him regardless of the fact that he made the protagonists suffer. I liked the character Park Gae In (Son Ye Jin) because I could somewhat relate myself to her- clumsy and being taken advantage of. Lee Min Ho's good looks are a treat for the girls. Initially, the drama kept me hooked and I was like 'I wanna watch the next episode NOW' but midway, it lost its charm though not completely. But basically, I didn't feel the urge to move on to the next episode and complete it in one single day if I could as I felt during the first few episodes. I wanted to see the ending (though I somewhat had an idea as to how the ending would be) and that's why continued watching it despite feeling utterly bored and annoyed during some parts. I would say I was not completely satisfied with how the drama ended. There were many things I expected to happen in the concluding episode but they didn't happen.

This drama series has a few good soundtracks. I like 'Can't Believe It' by Younha the most.

On a side note, I would like to say a few things regarding the outfits of the actors. The ladies were well dressed as per their character. I especially liked Wang Ji Hye's hairstyle. But the problem seemed to lie with the men- Lee Min Ho's slightly-above-the-knee length coat looked kind of weird if you ask me. I don't know if that's the fashion among the men in Korea but whatever; I didn't like it. Also he carried this handbag while going to his office which made him look girly. I couldn't help but notice this. Talking about Kim Ji Suk, his coat and pants occasionally had funny color combination. Like in one episode, he wore a black coat and red pants!

Overall, this is a good watch if you are a rom-com fan. It has a good story line, a bunch of funny moments to make you smile and moments which will make you go 'awww'. However, I don't think I will re-watch it.
