So far (68 episodes) I'm really enjoying this drama. I'm excited every night to watch more episodes. Love Shin Ae-Ra as the really together wife and mother/step-mom. She was perfect for her role. I would love to see her in more dramas! (:
Really loved you in "Ugly Alert." You were perfect! I wish you were in more of that drama--hated to see you go.) I would love to see you in more dramas. (Is "Bravo My Life" the same as "Ugly Alert?" I didn't see that title in your list.
After all these great reviews, how could I Not watch "Ugly Alert?!" (:
Seriously though 133 episodes is daunting (although I've watched a few historical dramas that are this long and they were worth it)! I'm just going to start and see where it takes me--I can always stop if I'm bored, although it doesn't seem like that's going to be the case.
Also, the one drama that I really, really liked but it doesn't seem like it got that high of a rating, is "To The Beautiful You." (I just noticed that it had over 14,000 viewers.) It wasn't my first Kdrama, but I just can't stop thinking about it from time to time. The story and the actors were cute, adorable, funny, dramatic--everything was excellent. I re-watched it at least three or four times so far and I still like it. I always recommend it when someone is looking for their next Kdrama to watch! (Only 16 episodes.) Enjoy and Take care!
PS _I think the most overrated drama that I've seen is "My Love From Another Star." While the actors were good, the leading actress was just too annoying while the leading actor was way too quiet. I keep telling myself I will have to watch it again just to see if I might change my mind! (:
This drama was really good. It's almost a tie between"King's Daughter" and this one. I loved that it transitioned between 1885 and early 1900's. Loved the three lead actors. The first thee western doctors were also good, as well as several other supporting actors. I really loved Han Hye Jin, and the performance by Park Yong Woo was absolutely amazing in every single episode! I can't say enough about this drama--I definitely recommend it. I rated it over 9 which I rarely do. Take care.
PS just wanted to mention that it was a bit of a slow start the first one or two episodes but after that I couldn't stop watching it!
I loved "The King's Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang." This is one of the best Historical kdramas I have watched. I was sad when it ended which isn't usually the case, but I actually missed watching it!
It's true--This drama had about every cliché you can think of from every Kdrama (although I'm sure there must have been a few they missed)! They were very funny, laugh-out-loud moments. I loved the premise of the story and the actors were really okay. (I didn't even recognize Sean Richard Dulake. He looked so different without the long blond hair in the sageuk drama "Jejungwon." It is so good!). I kept wondering if they were acting that way intentionally for the purpose of the "Dramaworld" story--I'm sure they were to some degree. But really, in the final analysis, it was just a little off, although I watched it all and kind of liked it. It was a good ending. (I rated it 7 out of 10.) I would watch it again just to see if I missed anything although I'm not fond of having to click forward to the next episode every 10 or 15 minutes. (:
I'm not totally into anime, but I can't help thinking that maybe this would have been a really good anime series. Take care!
I watched this drama last year. It is one of my favorites. I will watch it again. It is one of those that pops into my mind every now and then. I liked how the two-stories came together. It is so unforgettable!
I watched this drama earlier this year (2016). I really liked the story line and the actors, but the one frustrating issue I had was with the music (which isn't usually a problem). The music in this drama was out of balance. It was too loud and overpowering compared to the whispering voices of the actors. It seemed that the background music was challenging the actors to set the mood and tone of a scene. Even though I watched straight through the 5th episode, I struggled with the remaining drama, constantly turning the volume up or down when the "background" music became too loud.
I would like to try watching this, although I couldn't get into the beginning of the first season from 1998. I want it to be like the amazing "Bu Bu Jing Xin" (Scarlet Heart-1), "Prince of Lan Ling," or "Empresses in the Palace." I have discovered how much I like some of the wonderful Chinese historical dramas! There are many really great historical dramas from several Asian countries--I love it!!! (I am an American from the U.S. all my life.)
I have watched a few dramas on kissasian.com when I can't find them on dramafever.com or viki.com, and at first the website was okay. There are several ads on the site but I don't always mind because most of them seem to be mainstream and unobtrusive--Except for a few that have offensive pictures. I try my best to avoid looking at them and even though you can close them, it gets tiring for every episode. So I have decided not to use kissasian anymore. I've written to them, and of course I'm only one person, but they don't get rid of the bad offensive ads. Instead, they should just keep the normal ads (which would be common sense if they want more followers), so I'm ready to Stop Watching anything on kissasian. It's too bad because it seems like they could have been a really valid website but I'm not willing to be offended any longer.
I started watching this on kissasian.com but it's hard to tell which season I'm watching because the titles of the same dramas vary so much. It's not that old but I don't really care for the background music. Maybe I just need to stick with a few more episodes to see if anything is going to change. I was hoping it would be like the amazing "Bu Bu Jing Xin" (Scarlet Heart-1) or "Prince of Lan Ling", but so far that's not the case.

Good drama. Interesting. Pace was pretty good, but last two episodes seemed to drag a bit. Somewhat cliché and predictable. Characters worked well together. Father too overbearing. Ending was good--better than expected. Not as emotional as I thought it would be.
I don't understand--what's with the low review ratings? Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but really? I do have to say that I was not influenced by any pre-drama hype before it came out so I didn't have pre-set expectations.
This drama was sooo good! I loved Lee Min Ho and Kim Woo Bin -- the lead actress, Park Shin Hye, was also excellent! I enjoyed every episode. Maybe you need to watch it one more time?
Wow--sorry, but I so disagree! I loved all three of these dramas. I especially liked "To a Beautiful You." I never forced myself through any part of these dramas. "Boys Over Flowers" was my second kdrama ever and I loved it--so did my friend! And you really must watch "Heirs" with Lee Min Ho and Kim Woo Bin. The lead actress, Park Shin Hye, was also excellent. It was sooo good--every episode. Of course we all have our own opinions, but I really can't understand how you wouldn't like any of these three. (:
Honestly my "disappointment list" would include:
Playful Kiss (so condescending to women),
Flower Boy Ramen Shop (too boring and too much fluff),
Iris (terrible ending!) and
Cheese in the Trap (ending and last episodes ?!?)
Also the most overrated drama in my optinion is "You Who Came from the Stars." I liked parts of it, but the lead female character was just too over the top--such a spoiled brat and egotistic--too much so--while the lead male character was way too quiet and opposite personality.
I've read through the comments below. What I would like to know is, am I really the only person who wants to know about what the word "DAMMY" means on his sweatshirt? Is it some kind of high school/group slang? Can anyone tell me? Thanks.
Episodes are 30 min, so really 54 episodes instead of 108
I didn't want it to end, it was sooo good, although last two episodes could have been a little more engaging--like all the episodes that came before. It felt a little too "wrapped up" at the very end, although it was a good ending.
I loved the character "Kuchon," played by Yoon Tae-young--sincere expressions and captivating smile! Also, Seo Hyun-jin was amazing portraying Solnan--she is beautiful physically as well as her personalityl!
All of the actors were excellent, as well as the cinematography and storyline. I could easily watch this again!
"The King's Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang" is definitely worth watching and one of the best historical dramas I've seen (which are many)! It's at the top of my list with my other favorites!
I watched this on YouTube in 10-minute segments. It was easy and the picture quality was good.
I've been searching for this movie for quite some time. Don't know how I missed seeing it, but I'm so glad that I found it. I watched the first 10 minutes to see if it was something that I would be interested in. I couldn't stop watching to the end.
This movie was so well done. It is touching and powerful because it makes you think and come to a few realizations about life. Everything in this movie was perfect--from the storyline and music to the most excellent acting to the writers, directors and everyone involved in its production. I rate it 10/10. Highly recommended.
