The story was good but the part where they get the evidence together(which was like half the movie) wasn't that interesting to me. I feel like it would have been better if they focused more on the trial. I thought the last 30 minutes was brilliant. The ending was clever.
The acting by everyone was good. However Jang Hyuk was really amazing. You don't really see this till the last part of the movie though. During most of the movie, his character is downplayed. Then towards the end you get to see this whole other side. It was fun to see.
I liked the movie but it in the end isn't something i'd enjoy watching again but it is rewatchable.

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.

Story: Its realistic and simple. Themes that are discussed: Older woman/younger man romance, friendships and their lovelines, and finding career success. Really these are themes that have been done in other dramas but the writers had good pacing. The ending could have been a little more specific.
Acting/Cast: I enjoyed Park Jin Hee's performance in Kimchi Family, so I knew what to expect from her but I was suprised by how good the chemistry was between her and Kim Bum. I think KB was a bit miscast though, because although he was playing a 24 year old, he looked like he was still in high school so some scenes were a bit awkward with him and the main female character. Some of the supporting characters I could of did without.
Music: Not really memorable but alright for the drama.
Rewatch: It could be watched a gain if you like these type of stories.
Overall, The Woman Who Still Want to Marry is a cleaner version of Sex and the City so if you liked that show you might enjoy this.

Story: Originally the plot was suppose to be about a prosecutor who loses his memory after an accident and thinks he’s a gangster /really becomes a gangster and falls in love with a gangster’s daughter. However, the writers decided to change the story so while I was kind of disappointed they left the turning into a gangster part out, I was pretty pleased with the writing. It was funny and it had a plot. Was it original? No. Was it predictable? Yes, it’s a romcom. But the writers still kept me engaged all the way till the lovable ending.
Acting/Cast: This is where interest in the show itself was minimal. While Jo Yeo Jung and Kim Kang Woo had chemistry, I didn’t feel a connection to their characters. JYJ did a lot of overacting and it made her character annoying. I feel like anyone could have played the main male character. While KKW isn’t a bad actor, he just didn’t own his character. I did like the supporting cast and their characters more than the main. And although Nam Gyu Ri’s character was clingy, I felt sympathy for her character and liked her better than the female lead cause she’s just a better actress and has more screen presence than JYJ. And for the second male lead, I always like him in his dramas and this character was no exception.
Music: It was fun and matched the tone of the show
Rewatch: I didn’t love the main characters so theres not really a need for me to watch this again.
Overall the writing is entertaining but it could’ve been an amazing romcom with better casting. Worth watching once though if you love romcoms like me:)

The movie started off just being funny as the leads meet by "coincidence" and then start this weird partnership of doing all these odd jobs to make quick money. For a comedy I thought they wrote the story more realistic than I'm use to seeing with K romantic comedies. The story does get a bit dramatic towards the end due to some unforseen events, although I quite guessed what happened would happened. The romance in this was really light and we don't really see any payoffs till the end. I didn't really have a problem with this because although the leads had a good chemistry I didnt sense a romantic connection. It could be the fact that HYS looks 10 yrs older than SJK. Anyways the actors did a great job with thier characters and portrayed thier flaws perfectly. I'd watch this again but not right away because I wasn't in love with the story.

I loved the leads together and they had such a good chemistry. I wished the writers used that to thier advantage. The supporting cast in this was okay but not as memorable as the one in the first.
Overall this is a good movie that can be watched again but in a few years.

The story starts off really funny like most romantic comedies but soon went off to an angsty direction. Some episodes were more entertaining than others but overall the plot was shall i say boring? I feel liked nothing happened and as the episodes went on it became harder for me to finish each episode. The ending was cute as least.
The entire cast was really great. If it wasn\''\''t for them I definitely would have stopped watching. The supporting cast really was wonderful.
The OST is another plus. Went on my ipod right away.
I don\''\''t have any plans to rewatch this because the story is tooo forgettable.
Overall the cast and OST are what make this drama great.

Acting/Cast- Okay so I love Han Chae Young as an actress in DElightful Girl but here shes seems to fall flat. I also think she just had an okay chemistry with Jo Hyun Jae. nothing to make me wish they were never apart. Speaking of him, I loved him in 49 Days but here he is nothing special. I actually preferred Lee Chun Hee. He was just so cute and his love for the female lead shined through more than JHJ's character. The little boy was too cute!
Music- Very creative as most of the songs featured had the words "only you" somewhere in the lyrics like the Title of the Drama. There was also some funky music involved during scenes.
Rewatch- I don't think I can rewatch this because of the last episodes and because of the lack of exciting chemistry among the leads.
Overall- This is an ordinary drama to watch once if you finished all the other amazing dramas out there.

Story: The first 5 episodes were kind of just crazy but slow at the same time. I was getting the feeling that all we were going to see the entire drama is random people just dropping like flies and Jin has to try and come up with different ways to save them. But then as the drama progressed I started to see that there was an actual plot starting to develop (the royal politics, love triangle, advancing medical technology, the Gisaeng’s mysterious connection to Jin). So for me anyway the drama did get better and better with each episode that passed and I really enjoyed it till the end. With that all being said, the drama wasn’t perfect because I found myself lost and confused many times but hey I was just happy I didn’t have another boring drama on my hands.
Acting/Cast: I hate to say it but wow was this the wrong part for SSH! Im a fan but his historical look was awful and his line delivery was monotone, which made his character really boring. Oddly enough though during his modern scenes I found his acting okay. I think he should stay away from historicals all together. As for Lee Bum Soo, its hard not to notice that he totally stole the male lead status away from SSH. His character development was amazing as he went from being this crazy alcoholic looking bum on the streets to a man in power that is respected by many. Lets face it, he pretty much carried the show. So...I was proud of rookie Jae Joong as his acting was kind of shaky in the beginning but you can tell he practiced really hard and got stronger by the end of the drama. Park Min Young was really good but I feel like her character was useless to the story and she looked like a really young girl in her historical garb so it was really strange for me to watch her scenes with SSH.
Music: Good fit for the drama but not memorable. Nice sounding song by Jae Joong though but kind of boring at the same time.
Rewatch: I liked it well enough the first time so I wouldn’t mind watching it again but it would be way down the line.
Overall Dr. Jin isn’t that bad as everyone is making it out to sound. Hey if it got someone like me (who doesn’t dabble in this genre too often) to watch till the end, then it’s pretty watchable.

Story- So reading the synopsis you don't really get much. The mother making the marriage deal with the younger main female character is really the smallest part of the plot. The bigger story lies in the entanglements of the older adult characters. Their story pretty much takes over most of the plot with the romance btwn Park Ye Jin & Jung Gyu Woon's characters being the underlying plot. There's many twists thrown in that does make this a worthy drama to watch. I didn't like the ending all that much for the older adult characters because it seemed so messed up. The ending for the young couple was good but I felt like the writers kind of treated it like it was no big deal. The biggest problem that I had with this drama is the fact it was way to long. It really could have been done in 18 episodes max. Towards the middle I got tired of the older cast's storyline and therefore fast forwarded through a lot of their scenes. I even skipped like 3 episodes towards the end just so I could get it over with.
Acting- The older female leads did a solid job. I felt thier pain and felt sympathetic towards thier characters even thought they both could be called villains. I had no sympathy for the older adult male lead. His acting seemed fake and I just didn't like his character at all. As for the young leads, Park Ye Jin did a decent job acting wise because she actually showed some expression. In contrast, Jung Gyu Woon really was solid. He portrayed his complex character so well.
Music- Fit the scenes well but it wasn't memorable.
Rewatch- It's low because I can't watch this whole drama again due to the amount of episodes. I would get bored easily.
Overall, if you like dark dramas with really complex characters, and have a lot of patience, I would say give this one a try.

Story: Just realistic portrayals of relationships. The main OTP doesnt even interact that much until almost the end so that was kind of a bummer. I didnt like the open ending.
Acting/Cast: I already have seen the lead actor and actress before so I know they can act well but I loved their chemistry. Just wished they had more scenes together. The actress that played Min Ae cant act and it didnt help that her character was a b*tch the whole time. The actress that played Yu Jin has the most annoying voice ever and her character was so unlikable! I really wanted to fast forward all her scenes which unfortunately she has a lot of. I really liked the other supporting characters!
Music: All indie which is a genre Im into so Ill definitely be downloading the OST when I get the chance.
Rewatch: There isnt a point really to watch this again since the ending isnt all that great.
Final Thoughts: Soulmate isn't boring, has a lot of interesting characters, and a cool OST but its not something that has to be watched unless you have time to spare.

I really liked the story. I really liked the subtle humor. I found the band's journey inspiring as they faced all these hardships to make it the spotlight. Some things i didn't like was that they could have written more for the other 3 guys in the band. They all had stories but they were only briefly touched upon. I'm not really clear if there was a romance between the PD lady and the singer of the band cause there were only a few certain scenes that kind of pointed in that direction but then they would cut to something else and the ending was confusing too.
The acting was alright. The actress that plays the PD didn't have all that much to do to portray her robotic character seeing how this is how she acts in her other roles ive seen her in. The main singer guy made his character believable cause hes actually a really good singer but his acting isn't anything special. The other 3 guys in the band had very few lines so its hard to judge them.
The OST was really good. I might add the songs to my ipod. That "summer dream" song is really catchy cause they play it every 5 minutes it seems.
I'd rewatch this one but not right away.
Overall Mr. Idol is a fun watch but better casting could have made it even more enjoyable.
