This movie was so all over the place.The real concept of the movie which was revealed near the end could have been really interesting. However, it suffered from a poorly written script and low budget. It couldn't decide what kind of movie it wanted to be until the end. That's what happens when movies try to build suspense simply by withholding information.

Sounds very interesting. I have seen many dramas cover dyslexia, and Sungyeol has been blossoming as an up and coming actor. Cannot wait! Hopefully it's KBS since they usually subtitle their drama specials online.

Great article! :D

If anyone's actually thinking of using this, I'd be very careful with 1 & 2.

I actually found Lee Je Hoon and Kim Hye Soo to have really good chemistry, even though their drama together didn't have any romantic scenes. I wouldn't mind seeming them teamed for another series or another season.

Yes, I think he'll do well with action roles. I hope he gets something similar to ninja assassin again.

I couldn't make it past episode 9 even I wanted to for Kim Young Kwang and Lee Soo Hyuk - the characters couldn't hold my interest anymore. If you read the little synopsis on each episode at DramaFever, I think it wraps it up okay - except for his anxiety which I don't think the drama was going to explore further anyway.

The story seemed interesting but the overall execution was "meh".

True. I thought Jealousy Incarnate would at least grab the bromance award, but I guess the viewership for these dramas might not be as high among international drama fans.

I agree, even though I like Han Hyo Joo a lot, I felt she could have done better in W. Other actresses/actors were able to evoke more emotion with their role in my opinion. Oh Yeon Seo's portrayal matched her character perfectly, so much that I thought she might have been a trained comedianne. Kim Hye Soo also did wonderfully in creating two contrasting roles in Signal.

Signal is actually quite close to winning on one of the polls. I really hope a reversal happens and Beautiful Mind takes a win for something, since it's only nominated for two categories. Jang Hyuk gave a phenomenal performance.

I like Lee Joon a lot, but actually prefer seeing him as a cutie or heodong character instead of in jerky, arrogant roles. It's a bit hard to watch, especially since I don't think that type of character suits him so well. Kim So Yeon's role as a glamorous and selfish lawyer might be pretty good. I'm a bit curious about seeing this project, as well as the mystery behind the father's identity, but the fact that it has so many similarities to Happy Home almost makes me lose interest. Kim Young Chul is a good veteran actor and Kim Hae Sook is definitely a top-notch pro so I look forward to seeing those two. I liked Hwa Young's character in Age of Youth, and also wondering how So Min has grown as an actress if any. I'll be glad to see if she changes up her archetype a bit this time around. Here's to hoping that this is a refreshing drama, and not another typical sappy one.

Wow, this is an interesting and unexpected change. Yoon Je Moon would be able to pull this off I think, but I'm not sure about Jung So Min. It's nice to see her taking the challenge.

An extension is usually where dramas go downhill.

Wow, I thought the last half hour would be utterly nonsensical, and ultimately the lower final the score of the special. But, the satirical nature the writers made out of the situation was funny and refreshing so it didn't take away from the episode at all. I liked all the characters, especially the little girl, and wanted to find out more about all of them. It is the first time I watched a project with Tori and have to say he is quite handsome and incredibly cute. This special is being made into a series, so I'm looking forward to it next year. Mikako is a total cutie, but I hope she relaxes her eyes a bit in the upcoming series. It made sense with her character in Kimi ni Todoke, but here it's a bit distracting.

Hmm... I'm interested in watching Memory and Dear My Friends. All the top awards seem to have gone to dramas that had high ratings, apparently? I'm wondering if there's something about Happy Home that I somehow missed while watching? I like Kim So Yeon like a lot a lot, but her acting just seems to be okay, pretty good but nothing particularly that great in my opinion. I'm the happiest for Jo Jae Yun though since ahjussis and ajummonis usually to go pretty unnoticed in the hallyu world. :)

There's a japanese movie about a guy who will do random tasks for money including hiring actors and actresses for weddings. It's called Ripvanwinkle's Bride.

Totally agree! :) There was really good rapport between the two, and we could see the love they had for each other as mother and son throughout the film.

It's not a key part, but maybe about a fourth of the movie. Little scenes here and there, then it comes back around at end of the film.

I'm a big Sato Takeru fan! <3 I'm looking forward to this project as well :D
