Nice Drama
I was attracted to this drama because of the ML who is very tall and handsome. The FL is very beautiful too. The first part of the story is so nice because of the romances and how they grow together as husband and wife. The second part is somewhat dragging and I think could have been edited by the director better.I love how the ML is so loving and protective of his wife. His mother and grandma and sister are also very loving and caring people. In the first part the FL appears to be strong but in the later part she appears weak and vulnerable.
Glad that it has a happy ending and that justice is done to the villains.
It is highly questionable that after being in a coma for days the ML suddenly attended the company Board Meeting in full health and strong.
Still, it is a good watch.

Nice Happy Ending
I decided to watch this drama because of the ML whom I always found so young, handsome and refreshing. This is his 3rd drama that I've watched. Each time he doesn't disappoint. I like his smile and his silent but strong presence. He is a man of few words but always meaningful. I love his character how he loves and cherish the FL from high school until they have grown up. He loves her sincerely and willing to live a simple life just to be with her.In the story the FL is 28 year old yet her acting is always like for high school teenager. I do not see the chemistry between the FL and the ML. The ML looks young and fresh, the FL looks old and childish. She is never shown working brilliantly to earn the respect of her peers. She is always roaming around doing nothing. Spending a lot of time just to catch an interview with the CEO. But, I admire her goodness. She really cares for the ML even though she thought he was poor. I love her bonding with her mother and friend. Her refusal to receive any money from the mother of the ML is also admirable.
I also find the editing and synthesizing of the story into one part are not done properly. The editor could have done better. The director should have taught better acting to the FL not just acting like a teenage girl most of the time. It's not appropriate for the age of her character.

From Vegetative State to Energetic Love
I have seen already several dramas with the ML character was comatose or in vegetative state then later healed by the presence of the FL. So the storyline of this drama is already common and overused. However, I was still attracted to watch after seeing how handsome and cute the ML is. He looks so young, innocent, cute and strikingly handsome. Despite having these traits he was portrayed as sterned and arrogant rich boy which he played well acting wise.The FL started acting in a funny or comedic manner but I'm glad that her character developed into mature, strong and wise lady who was caring, loving, hard working and mature in handling her husband and even the women who were attracted to him. She is over protective without being overbearing. Many FL are presented as doctors, managers, etc but she is presented as an author of novels. Her being a writer and author give her very good understanding of life such as fighting for her rights and dignity, rejecting the evil machinations of her family and handling her relationship with her rich husband - the ML - with maturity and practical wisdom. She is soft spoken but straight forward in speaking her mind if necessary.
I love the way the ML grow in loved with the FL. Many ML are hesitant to express their love of the girl but this ML is direct and clear in telling his wife: "I love you". He also didn't allow himself to be manipulated by the former classmate who was obsessed with him. He stood his ground. He didn't fall into the mistakes that many ML are falling into to their bitter regrets in the end.
There is also no major violence here. No tortures, kidnappings, drugging, etc.
What a beautiful love story. I highly recommend.

A Lovely Love Story
I love this drama. The ML is so handsome and mature for his role as a playboy CEO. The FL is so beautiful and young and with refreshing beauty. Even though in the English translation I've watched the ML is already 30 year old while the FL is only 20 year old the chemistry is very evident for the two leading stars. They look wonderful together.The ML is very loving and protective of the FL. I love to see that he is always eager to kiss and make love with the FL. He is so much in loved with her. Overly protective. However, I found it a weakness in the story that despite several evil attempts of the 2ML and other villains the ML didn't give the FL some bodyguards to protect her always. Knowing that she is pregnant and constantly in danger due to people with evil plots she should have been given extra protection such as a secretary of her own and at least two bodyguards to accompany her talking to her relatives, etc.
Even though the FL is beautiful and so lovely, her role is that of a former Assistant Secretary of the heir of a rich family. So should be presented as very intelligent, bright, articulate and fast thinker. Instead, she is presented more as a weak damsel in need of help from the ML.
The mother of the ML is so wonderful. When she thought that the FL was just a plaything for her son she treated her with rejection but once her son the ML told her that she is the girl whom he loves and will marry she suddenly changed. She became loving and caring Mother in Law to the FL. Her desire is for her son the ML to find a wife and built a family.
Very nice.

Nice Love Story
The story in general is quite usual already. The girl previously in loved with a boy then the boy replaced her with another woman then the girl will find a rich and handsome CEO to replace the former unfaithful boyfriend.Despite the ordinary and usual story I find this presentation very nice because the girl is a doctor and successful in h er own right. She has a strong personality and is very beautiful.
The ML is very handsome and I found it hilarious about the condom scene at the end.

Handsome ML but Disgusting Plow of Story
I am drawn to this drama because of the ML Wang Yan Xing who is very handsome. However I am disgusted with the stupidity of the FL and the way they both stupidly manipulated by the villains.The romantic moments are beautiful and wonderful. I love the way the ML romances and pampers his wife the FL. The FL was already aware that her husband is very rich and powerful yet she is still so stupid to feel insecure about it. The FL pretend to be insecure of the lofty position of her husband yet she delights every time he saves her using his power and authority and influence. What an idiot woman. She is also easily manipulated by believing the main villain at the ending part. Also, the husband could have given her a job in the company and she is always assisted by one or two secretaries to help her. She must have her own office. Since he is always visiting her and she is known to his wife she should have been given better protection after the first incident of bullying occurred.
The ML also appears imprudent at the later part of the story. Imagine, he stops the marriage just because that villain saved him 10 years ago. If I am the ML right there and then I will marry my wife and go on with the celebration and not allow that evil woman to bother us. Even though he knew that the villain has intention to trouble their relationship as husband and wife they still allow her to stay with them and even enter their bedroom. So stupid.
The ML promised his wife to protect her always but every time he is away the wife is in danger. Can he not assign bodyguards for his wife? His wife must have her own secretary to turn to every time she is in need of help. She must have guards to turn to every time she is in danger. Even at home there must be maid servants who always look at the welfare of the Lady of the House.
I am disgusted. Yet Wang Yan Xing is still very handsome. Hihihi...

A Great Retelling of the Great Story
My family loved the original METEOR GARDEN which was the Taiwan version. However, when this Korean version came we also loved and enjoyed it. Lee Ming Ho as Jun Pyo was so handsome and so loveable despite his strong character being depicted. The FL Jan Di is so beautiful and so loveable also. The one who played Ji Hoo is very handsome also and perfect for the role.The music is so beautiful and the production is very grand.
Despite the fact that there is the Taiwanese and Japanese version this classic story never fails to amuse and entertain. Glad that because of this drama Lee Ming Ho became an Asian superstar. He is still one of my favorites until now.

The Greatest Historical Korean Drama Ever
I am convinced that Jumong is the best and the greatest Korean Historical drama ever. The story is so tighly knit and well written script from beginning until the end. Every episode is exciting and excites the viewer to find more for the next episodes.Song Il Gook was deserving of the Best Actor award as King Jumong. He was superb actor from beginning until the end; from being a young prince, general and later emperor he was perfect for the role. The entire cast is also excellent such as those who played King Geumwa, Prince Daeso, Queen Soseono, Prime Minister Budebul, etc. are all did great.
The battle scenes were greatly executed. The music was so touching and beautiful too. The setting and the costume are well researched and done.
I have watched this drama so many times and each watch is so satisfying.
I highly recommend it.

The Best Zhang Wu Ji Adaptation
I enjoyed very much this very good adaptation of the old story depicting the Condor Heroes or the young Hero Zhang WuJi. The scenery are very beautiful, the historical clothes are excellent, the ML and the FL are very actors and the martial arts was well executed. I watched and rewatched it.Joseph Zeng was so loveable as the young hero Zhang Wuji. He looks so handsome, innocent and at the same time a formidable warrior. Chen Yu Qi is very beautiful, sweet and a very formidable opponent. The two of them makes a very lovely couple.
The martial arts effects are excellent and well executed.

He Descended Like the Sun
After watching the first episode I am already hooked completely primarily because of the ML Soong Jun Ki who is so handsome and epitome of Asian manhood. He got a killer smile and he played his role as if it is his second skin. This love story between a soldier and a lady doctor has become popular ever since and there are so many versions already but this drama still stands out as a gem of its kind.The love story is so romantic and so touching. The acting are superb and the chemistry between the major leads are very palpable. It is also nice that the common illogical presence of mistress or evil mother in law are not present in this drama. The tension is focused on the relationship of the leads and their call for duty.
I highly recommend this drama.

Love in the Time of Tragedy yet with Healing and New Day
This is indeed a Love in time of tragedy but glad because there is healing and new day through a beautiful happy ending.The drama is a combination of love story, romance, mystery thriller and detective mission all combined into one.
The ML is emotionally and psychologically wounded because of the death of his parents and his sister as well as brother in law yet he was a successful lawyer. He has hidden dragons in his wounded and tragic life but he was able to become successful in his professional career. The FL is a highly educated lady who studied in UK. She returned to take good care of her nephew after her sister and brother in law died in tragic car accidents.
The ML Yin Yi Bo is so handsome and he is so cool in his acting. His eyes and his face can convey joy, happiness, peace, strength but also pain, sorrow and agony at the same time. The FL is so beautiful and strong in character. I love that both of them love their family so much and they both genuinely love their nephew to protect and help him as he experienced death of parents through tragic car accident. Even though they were both single they successfully acted as surrogate parents to the orphaned nephew who found new hope and happiness through their loving presence.
The revelation of the real villain or culprit is so touching as well as emotional. It was really very unexpected. Imagine, of all people the one they trusted the most is the one who is orchestrating those crimes. The villain as 2ML is a very good actor who gave justice to his role.
The family values in this drama is great. The virtue of sacrifice which is dying to save the beloved family members is so touching and praiseworthy and heroic.
Glad to have watch this simple but wonderful drama.

Justice and Love After so Many Pains
I love this drama. The FL suffered 6th rebirth suffering from death of family and herself being tortured by the evil villain yet she fought again and again until finally she met the ML who helped her rise and be victorious. The ML himself suffered a lot but the two of them remain good, loving and wonderful persons.The ML is so handsome and so manly and so dignified. His love of the FL is so pure and so praiseworthy. The FL is so beautiful and had suffered so much but remained just and good.
The 2ML, the evil villain is so psycho. He is terrifying. His acting is very intense. Deserves praise for the great acting.
I'm glad that the leads gained justice not by killing the family of the enemies by massacre but by clever planning and just executions.
This story is highly recommendable.

From Strange and Cold comes Sweetness and Love
I love this drama because it is not like the usual Chinese drama stories with the FL suffering from the evil plots of the mistress. Instead, the ML is a handsome and dashing young General with great honor and moral integrity. He is truly an officer and a gentleman despite the fact that he is usually appearing cold and distant because of his military formation. But deep inside he is a good person who is loving and faithful with good values.The FL is a very intelligent lady doctor. She is courageous, talented, kind-hearted and independent. It is very easy to see why the general ML fell in loved with her. She is very easy to be loved and respected. Her great personality could tame a dragon and she can melt cold heart by her warm and loveable personality.
The drama is well done. The plow of the story is exciting. The husband is faithful to his wife and they grow mutually in loved as their lives are uniting them as newly wed couple.
This is highly recommended. I love this drama.

Finding Love By Leaving the Dark Past
I love this drama. It is pure love and redemption. Less violent, no major abuses even though the FL suffered great emotional pain but the ML loved her purely and unconditionally. The ML and the FL are handsome and beautiful and have great chemistry. The ML really spent time and was consistent in loving and caring for the FL to the point that she gained recovery and strength and inspiration as a beloved of her husband.The family of the ML is so wonderful and loving. They are a joyful family from the grandfather and parents. They are so supportive of their son and very kind to the FL.
Even the villains are very tame in this drama. I highly recommend this.

The Perfect Match
I followed this drama because of Song Wei Long as the ML. He is so handsome and really play well as the Prince. He is very kingly in appearance and in bearing. The FL is correct in describing him after he get up from bathtub: "His physique is great, his face like a chiseled jake, his every move is perfection..." Super handsome and manly actor and very good in subtle acting. Few words but he can express his mind and heart through looks and actions.I found the FL very beautiful and with refreshing beauty. They are really a perfect match. I love how they tried to tease and seduce each other as husband and wife with boundaries but growing in love for each other. They are both pure and chaste and hesitant to make the first move.
I love the main characters. The ML is a great prince and general but he is not obsessed by power and greed but really focusing on the welfare of the kingdom, eradicating corruption and serving faithfully the Emperor. Despite him having a ruthless reputation he is actually a good person who is loving and caring to his soldiers and to the people in general.
The FL character is so nice. She has innocent beauty which looks young but very intelligent and always reason out. Her love of her father is very deep and is managing the household property with efficiency. It is also noteworthy that she respects people including the maids and the servants with respect.
The love story is very beautiful. It is a match of two noble families and of a young man and woman with both goodness in their hearts. The interchange of politics with tensions due to corruption and power is also very nice. The sword actions by the ML is also excellent. Even the love story of the second leads are very beautiful and touching such as the funny love-hate relationship betweem Mimin and Lord Zhang as well as the touching love between YiYin and Lord Zhu.
The secondary actors too are excellent. The Marquis General father of the FL is so wonderful. The villain Prime Minister is subtle and looks nice but brilliantly cunning. The generals and adviser friends of the ML are great actors too. This is an excellent drama worthy of the status of Song Wei Long. The music is so beautiful and touching. The actions in battles are very good.
I feel sorry for the young and very talented deputy commander whose father was murdered and he died at the end. Glad that he got his justice though. The villain is so cunning and so evil. So happy for the happy ending.
