I love everything about this movie except that Lee Min Ki is so thin here. He looks like he just recovered from being sick or something. But I guess nothing can really hide his charm...<3
Why do some people feel bad it's ranked #1? 1 Liter of Tears, Gaksital and Reply 1997 are all of different genres…
Honestly, I know exactly how you feel. And I didn't mean to say that Reply 1997 itself doesn't deserve the no. 1 spot. I just wanted to point out that, maybe, just maybe some people rated it too carelessly. Think of the possibility that some people who rated this drama too high might not even have watched Gaksital or just any other drama on the list. Rather than giving a rating because of feeling like it, I think it would be better if we become critics and put in more thought in scoring the digits.

I have nothing against Reply 1997. I just think that dramas should be judged and rated more carefully since they're too diverse to be compared in the first place. It's really frustrating to see a drama bear a rating you know too well it doesn't deserve - whether it's too high or low.
I don't usually cry watching dramas, but Ja Eun and Tae Hui's breakup broke my heart. Their characters are just too pure and honest. Their post-breakup is also hard to watch.
I think one of the greatest things about Gaksital is that it became a breather amidst all cliches and overused storylines of most kdramas. It's a drama you can't sum up easily in words and classify in a single genre. More so, the cast is refreshing to watch and the characters are greatly built up - though consistent, they are not predictable. The story is effortlessly well-paced and the acting is just awesome. Though I don't know for sure if it deserves the no. 1 spot above other legendary dramas out there, Gaksital proves to be one of the dramas a k-addict like me will never forget.
I just remembered how close she is with Yoochun. Oh well, he just wants her to be his little sister. No harm done there. :P
