I never thought I will ever enjoy something in which both the lead roles are quite dumb.Baseball player and bodyguard,who can't stand each other at first,starting to enjoy each other's company and come to a place where they cannot pass a day without each other. A girl who is very boyish in looks and manners, stronger than some men, prefers beef over flowers and ice creams,still a man falls for her because of some affectionate connection they have.
c'mon.. for once let us like not-so pretty girl and not-so-smart-in-head guy's love story.Their bickerings are really cute.

wookie has come out of his usual perfect looking eye candy roles and done a great job here.Lee si young is just awesome.(perfect hair for moo yul to ruffle often.I love that).Jessica is just another character for love triangle. All the other characters are 100% perfect.

I can't seem to get enough of this drama. watching it over and over.

I gave 8 for story because its just the usual.But I will give 10 for screenplay.

Originally, I expected this Drama to turn out like all the others; just a love story that hits all the major cliches and ends when the two main characters finally get together. After the first episode, I became OBSESSED with this show. It was amazing.
The cinematography was perfect, the story was well written, and the actors fit their roles well. The best part about its drama was definitely the characters and their relationships.
I love how the writers developed each of the main characters, but not so much that they were predictable. They grew along with the story, changing for the best, but also remaining true to their original selves. Character relationships grew in complexity and each one of them served a different purpose throughout.
There are very few dramas or TV shows that add so many sub-plots within the story. Normally, there's just one main plot line and two or three smaller sub-plots that rarely appear in all the episodes. However, this drama had quite a few and managed to show the watcher how it was progressing in every episode. I think that's what really made this show shine.
Lastly, I really loved the emotional value of this drama. It made me laugh, cry, scream at the screen and tear my hair out in frustration- all at once. Kudos to the writers for managing that.
There were a few parts I thought could have been done better; for example, a few character motives didn't quite make sense- but overall the King 2 hearts is really a masterpiece. There is no doubt that I am going to rewatch it.

This Drama was really gud. My friends kept pushing me to watch it but i kept delaying, but i must say i`m very impress with it. one of my favorite ending was episode 13 that kiss was awesome n the rain( the weather may always seem to b against her, but actually its with her) made it even better. i must say my playa game has improved for sure these girls wont survive my romantic assault after this show lol.
I really luv the mother from the get go she was like another Oh ha ni, taking pictures every chance she gets and spreading gossips @ skool lol. the Window scenes where every nice, giving a look inside both characters and how they deal with situation they both face. I think the chemistry between the leads was very gud i had no prob with it. PLAYFUL KISS U DID GUD :)Anyway ppl this Drama is a definite watch ok it will have u LAUGHING :) sad :( but more LAUGHIN :)) i miss it already I want more plzzz

My Opinion:
It wasn't bad and it wasn't amazing, but if you want a fun and not complicated of a movie to watch I would recommend this. Funny, light, and a happy predictable ending. The title under the main title gives it away, but it's not too cheesy. It's something you would watch if you're bored and doesn't take a whole day to watch. An example would be like afterschool if you don't have homework?

Music: I like the old Western music in it. It sort of fits, but I like the change in how it's not in Japanese and not sad.

Acting: Not much to say. It's pretty straight forward and not a lot of drama.

Where to watch: I watched it on Youtube and it had great quality!

Fondant Garden was initially a early season pick up on a rainy weekend. What it turned out to be was quite different--a drama that I really enjoyed for its cute factor and for the most part, its story.

Park Jung Min is seriously adorable in this, so if you are a fan, you will enjoy him in Korean (for parts) and in Taiwanese (dubbed). He brings so much to the character of Han Ji/Pu Xi Huan. Even though this is a comedy, he brings a lot of cute expressions that make him that much funnier.

The music for this drama is fairly well done. The opening theme is very cute, and on film, the opening theme is probably one of the most creative and bright in dramaland. The dramatic moment song is also beautiful. Both songs will stick with you.

The story itself is rather light hearted, although there are elements of melo laced within. Like any rich boy/ not as well-off girl drama with brothers, there is also family drama. Those parts are harder to get through, particularly in the earlier episodes. The drama as a whole doesn't really pick up, in my opinion, until episode 5, but the first four episodes are important for story development (so don't skip them.)

Overall, I found in Fondant Garden a much better drama than I expected from the outset. For a pick up drama (not one I wanted to watch initially), I rank it up there. It certainly is one of my favorite Taiwanese dramas, at any rate.

I just finished watching this drama and I am still awed. The characters in this were simply amazing, you could feel everything with them and the acting was great. It was really believable, even though it had such a unique and sometimes unrealistic storyline.
I really liked how different this drama is. It's nothing like I expected and the ending was surprising, I changed my viewpoint every episode and didn't even know how I wanted it to end.

Of course it gets a 10 for the music. The ABBA songs fit perfectly on the one side and on the other side they seemed totally off. It's something you will definitely remember, though and I loved it.

This is a really emotional drama without much action, but lots and lots of love.

Let yourself be surprised and watch it, it's worth a try. :)

This Drama gave me a different perspective about love. What is fate? What is destiny? How do you differentiate fate and just being attracted? I still don't know the main answer between love and fate. All i know is that my perspective changed... made me glad i watched this drama at least its an enlightenment.

Music wise, they have used it splendidly. I say that because the main theme song was really incorporated well into the story. Having it has so much meaning all through out the drama and you'll just get that sense of LSS (las song syndrome) after hearing it over and over and over again.

Cinematography was pure bliss. It wasn't big or extravagant like other dramas but the angles to capture the scene brought out the beauty of the back drops and it's realism.

Here are several favorite quotes gathered from the drama:

"Everyone has a reason to be happy."

"Fate is something you can't run away from, something you can't shake off no matter how hard you try, it just sticks on to you no matter what."

"The best revenge to do against your enemy is to live happier than he does."

"So knowing each other's true feelings can be this difficult."

"If we're meant to be, even if it's not now… someday. Someday we'll be able to meet again."

I have finished this Kdrama on it's first airing. It was quite a sensation back then. Goong has 24 episodes all in all. The setting was beautiful, you can see the Korean culture in a splendid way. The cast were also great, sound track just perfect for every scene and the palace was definitely nice. This drama was taken off from a Manhwa which is considered as the Korean comics. They have used the plot almost similar to the original story line, I say almost because as the usual way of every drama/movie makers which takes stories from books, they mangle a lot of things and change it unnecessarily. I hate it when they do a lot of changes from the original story. It ruins the original writer's thoughts.

The beginning of the show was really cute, and Yoon Eun Hye as Shin Chae-gyung the leading lady role was just funny. Her character was a normal teenage high school girl who was clumsy, a bit stupid, always smiling, getting into tons of trouble and yet has a pure heart. Her life drastically changed after meeting Shin, the crowned prince and over hearing him propose marriage to a girl. Then she was thrown into an arranged marriage with the crowned prince after finding out the marriage agreement which was done by her grand father and the king's father when they were born.

This is a show where I started liking Eun Hye as an actress. Joo Ji Hoon who played as Shin, her leading man was also gorgeous for a Korean guy, although his eyes is too squinty for my taste. I still liked his character, the seemingly uncaring guy, but deep inside he just thinks too much of others.

Kim Jeong Hoon who acted as Lee Yul (Shin's supposedly cousin who wants to take his throne away) was cute and my heart went out for him as he was that guy who had to endure an unrequited love when all he wanted was for Chae Gyung to love him back that's why he wanted to be the crowned prince. Lasty Song Ji Hyo who acted as Min Hyo Rin was just perfect. She was the girl that Shin first proposed to before getting married to Chae Gyung, she seems to be the cold girl who acted like there was nothing that could ever bother her, but deep inside, her heart is crumbling to pieces as she watches Shin fall in love with Chae Gyung little by little.

As the story progressed, there where some draggy moments that I have overlooked because the setting and music was just beautiful, and I can't just help my self but watch it even if the lines have been too redundant. The ending was gorgeous for me because of the setting once again, but story line wise it was quite bland for my taste and went way off with where the whole story was really supposed to be. It gave me a sense of confusion which I didn't really like. Although I felt this way towards the ending I am still giving it a 9 for compensating with other areas in the drama that I have already mentioned which is also essential for making this a top rated Kdrama.

The film was short, simple and has a lot in it. Although I didn't understand 75% of what they're talking about, I was able to get the gist of the whole thing. What I love about this film is that it doesn't need much words for you to understand what was really happening. (Still, i would love to see this with subs) It was a good watch especially for teenagers who are having troubles in school and bullying.

The film shows two unlikely characters meeting and helps each other in the most unusual way (Oguri Shun and Aoi Miyazaki). Friendship falling off and starting anew. The ending was pretty much special for me, it was directed well. The last scene kind of gives you a glimpse of a drastic change due to a decision that was made.

That's all I could say about this movie because I want you to check it out your self if you have the chance. And hopefully, by then some subs are out.
