CONTAINS SPOILERS. PLEASE READ AFTER WATCHING :)
STORY:So much suspense with every episode, you never know what people are thinking.
As you begin to watch more, probs around ep 5, you begin to realise there are more coincidences than what seems normal. For example, the cast interaction with each other at certain times. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a director on set, telling the cast members to go to a certain cast member and talk about their feelings etc. Because that was what happened on a Japanese dating show called Rea(L)ove.
I feel like the director made a terrible decision of adding 3 new contestants half way through the show and the ending proves this point as none of the new contestants becomes a couple. Furthermore, Hyunseung knew two the cast members which defeats the purpose of having the rule where they can't disclose their age and profession. Nevertheless, all the twist and coincidences made the show really entertaining.
It would be awesome if netflix made a special episode where the cast members are followed up to see if they still remained a couple and their feelings etc.
CAST:
YeWon: My favourite cast member and definitely the most underrated. She is fricken beautiful, not sure what is wrong with the guys eyes. She has an amazing outgoing personality, and her accent is so cute. I hate the director for not giving her much screentime. She always comforts the other cast members and gives them advice when she's probably hurt and torn herself. 😫 I feel like she doesn't actually like Junsik, they just chose each other because there was no other option. She probably likes Hyunseung more because when they had a conversation I felt like they both had a spark, but Hyunseung didn't want to take the risk of choosing someone new.
Jiyeon: My second favourite cast member and the most intelligent person in the show. I hate the fact that in the start all the the contestants and host were commenting on her skin colour and calling her pale, which shows the toxic beauty standards in korea. I felt the most sorry for Jiyeon around ep 2-6 because Sehoon kept on pushing his feelings on her despite her not feeling the spark, but in the end all his hard efforts pulled through and she finally started to open up. Which literally sounds like a Boys Over Flowers plot, where the SML is Jintaek, lmao.
Sehoon: OMG to I have a lot to say about this guy. He was my most hated cast member up until ep 7. He has psychopath behaviour when he kept pushing Jiyeon to talk. And I hated the fact that the host kept on gaslighting this behaviour and feeling sorry for him, like they should be empathising with Jiyeon! Anyways, I stopped hating him when Jiyeon liked him. It turned out that Jiyeon was just really sentimental and wanted to get her thoughts straight before she tries to replicate her feelings with Sehoon. 😊
Sihun: I don't understand why so many viewers dislike Sihun. He literally had to be honest and choose the girl he likes, hence why he chose Jia despite knowing she doesn't like him back. This is why I admire him, it would've been morally wrong to choose Sumin just because he want to be a couple.
[I know there are other cast members I didn't mention, but sis doesn't have all day to talk about everyone, so I'll just have to leave it here :)]
Rewatch value: I'd definitely watch a season 2 with the same cast for an update on how their doing. If there was another Korean dating show like this, I'd like it to be more realistic and more transparent with the viewers, because I felt that this was quite scripted.

Warning! If you are planning on watching this go grab yourself a box of tissues, although one box probably wouldn't be enough.....
I wasn't expecting much from this drama, as I saw their cast was quiet old so I made the assumption that this would be another one of those dramas that the older audience would enjoy watching...But let me tell you, I was soooo wrong. I enjoyed every episode right from the start, it was an emotional roller coaster. The storyline is good and well developed. None of the cast was annoying, naive etc. I thought the ending would be like romeo and Juliet but thank goodness the ending was actually decent. This is definitely one of my favorite Kdramas of all time. It's because of dramas like these that I cannot find a man that can fit my standards. Now it's probably gonna take me another year to find a drama that can top up this one.

The ending is not enough. There are so many big questions left unanswered; What did Hwi Young parents do/reaction to his incident? What happened to Oh Je after coming out? Does Soo Bin find her dream/ career path? What happens in the future to Soo Bin and Jun Woo? Are they still together? Did their love fall apart?But then it kinda makes sense why most of these questions are left unanswered. If you think about it, this is a drama just showing a snippet of the life of 18 year olds. It makes sense to focus more on their life around school, and not drag the drama to their adulthood. And the director probley left the ending their to let us imagine what their future will be like. The ending left me in tears, I felt so bad for them, they went through so much.
The director wants us to know that being an 18 year old is the hardest moment in your life. You meet people, the good and bad, these people come and go out of your life. But all we can do is continue living life.....
Anyways- on to a more positive note: Ong Seong Wu did an awesome job. This is his first drama and he's the main lead. He portrayed his character perfectly. And of course Kim Hyung Gi never dissapoints me with her beautiful acting.
The OST is beautiful. I love Ong Seong Wu singing, it's so nice!!

This review may contain spoilers
Plot: The Temperature of Language: Our Nineteen is a high school web drama that focuses the struggles of 6 senior students before they head off to university. This is a heartwarming drama that tells us the importance of friends. JinA is the main character in the drama, she learns that each person has their own struggle that she can't see, everyone goes through a hard time, but it is important that we don't blame ourselves for our shortcomings in life. And that we can always rely on our friends. Warning, get your tissue box ready for the last two episodes! Acting: As always Jin Ji Hee does a great job acting. The rest of the cast are all rookies, but you can't tell because they all did a great job acting their character!
Music: OST wasn't used too much through the drama. The outro OST is really nice. Especially in the final episode, it keeps you feeling sad the drama has ended.
Rewatch: Keen for a season 2!
Overall: 9.5/10, a very good drama!!

*Warning the last paragraph contains spoilers/plot holes*This is one of the only medical dramas I managed to finish- I dropped 'Emergency Couple' and skipped through episode of 'The Doctors.'
The plot is very interesting and action packed. This drama focuses very little on romance, despite its title. There is a lot to learn from this drama in terms of medical things. I've definitely learned a lot more about hospital life from watching this drama.
Acting was superb from everyone. No OST from what I can remember, mostly instrumental music.
-Spoilers-
There are many plot holes/unanswered questions.
Firstly what the heck happened to Do In Bum and Yeon Hwa? Did they confess to their crush or what?? What about the love triangle with Yeon Hwa, Nurse Park and Kang Dong Joo?
Did director Do remain as director?
What happened to teacher kim trauma project?
What was chairman hiding from teacher kim? why didn't he tell teacher kim after his surgery?
What is going on between that nurse from the main hospital and yoon seo joon ex from 5 years ago? Is the nurse babys father her ex?
Apologies if these were all answered in season 2, I haven't watched it yet~

Yes, most of the reviews of bad, the plot isn't that well developed. But you guys should watch it for the OST, the only thing that kept me going was the amazing OST! The OST made scenes 10x better than they are. Jessi, Bomi and BTOB beautiful voices really moves your heart. <3
The plot isn't that bad. It's not too cliche. The female lead is dominant and isn't overly naive. There is 1 second male lead that likes her, not 3, the title gave me false expectations. I was expecting all 4 'knights' to fall for her throughout the drama, but no.
Acting is great. I thought Na Eun did a great job for her first drama!
Music 100/10

I only watched this for Lee Min-Hyuk, my ultimate bias in BTOB <3Plot:
Terrible plot. Unbelievably stupid. [Warning I will be spoiling some parts of the storyline here onwards. But no spoilers in the acting and music paragraphs below :) --->]
The story is about a 6 member friend group, 3 boys 3 girls. All of the girls have a crush on the same boy in the friend group, Won Tak, and all of the boys like Min Joo. Therefore Minjoo and Won Tak have mutual feelings for each other, but they can't be together because they are poor. Which is understandable. BUT THEN the misunderstandings happen... Won Tak thinks that Min Joo slept with the other 2 boys in the friend group, and Min Joo thinks he slept with the other 2 girls. Won Tak heard noises behind closed doors, so he assumed Min Joo was sleeping with someone. Min Joo sees the other two girls clinging onto Won Tak etc. Most of the drama is just about them misunderstanding situations. Until in the last two episodes, the friends go on vacation and they point guns at each other demanding the truth, and asking why they did stuff, then finally the stupid misunderstandings are cleared. Not tryna be judgemental or anything but Min Joo is hella weird the reason the other 2 boys like her is perverted asf, they wanted lust not love. How can they still call each other "friends" after all this? The friend group and the people in it needs help.
Acting:
Lee Min-Hyuk did a great job as always. His role here is a bit different from his other dramas, he acts sad, gloomy and down in most of the scenes, so if you wanted cute smiley Lee Min-Hyuk moments then I won't recommend this. Anyways, the rest of the cast did a great job as well!
Music:
I don't think there was any OST for this drama. I wanted to hear Lee Min-Hyuk sing instead of a random song over when he plays his guitar :(

Acting is superb, as always Kim Hye Yoon slayed her role. I love her so much in SKY castle. Her character in Extraordinary You is completely different from Kang Ye Seo, she's so talented and deserves more rewards.
Music is good. Personally non of the OST is memorable.
Wouldn't rewatch. They definitely need a season 2, and I would definitely watch it.

The plot is cliche overall. I knew what would happen to the main character since everyone spoilt it in comments and reviews??. But it isn't bad as I thought, it was interesting enough to keep me hooked for 20 episodes. There are many annoying, bit*hy characters, there wasn't a single episode where I didn't yell at my computer screen. The part where the male lead turns from the female got me annoyed, and he dragged it out unnecessarily long, which I felt was the only problem with the plot. I expected the ending to be extremely sad, but surprisingly I didn't cry at all in episode 20, only episode 19 I cried.
The acting was surprisingly really good. There was no problem with Suzy's acting. She portrayed her character really well. And as always Kim Woo Bin acting was spot on.
The OST is probably the favorite part of the drama. ♫"Only yoouuu hooo huuu hooo"♫ And ♫"When it gets hard.....I get a little stronger now!!!!"♫ The OST isn't overused and is not annoying :)
The ending means that there will be no season 2, so I wouldn't rewatch.

This is the first Japanese movie I watched, and it was super good! I might watch some more now! XD
The movie was super cute and bubbly, I really enjoyed watching it.
The plot was good, might be too cliche for some, but bearable for me. It's just like most romance stories- there's a girl and two boys that like her. In this case, one of them is her teacher, which creeped me out and made me uncomfortable, but then it didn't get too bad as the story went on. The female lead is naive but doesn't let others trample over her.
The acting was superb, I can't believe Nagano Mei was only 17 when she acted in this! So talented!

This is a super cute High school/college romance Cdrama. It follows the plot of many other cliche dramas- the girl is shy 'ugly' unintelligent, whilst the male is tall handsome popular smart. But what makes this drama different from other is that the female lead is not overly obsessed with the male, she becomes more independent.
I really liked the leads cute shy interactions with each other before they dated. Kuan Lin acting still isn't top-notch, which can be seen in some scenes where he doesn't portray enough emotion, especially in sad scenes. Angel Zhao did a splendid job, she expressed her emotions well. They had good chemistry together. Heads up- if you're expecting a kiss scene: well sadly there are none at all in this drama, the most is a peck on the cheeks. This is understandable since Angel Zhao was 16 and Kuan Lin was 17.
The OST is super good! I love their intro song, the lyrics is really cute, and relates well to the plot.
I would definitely watch if season two comes!

(spoilers are at the end of this review)Story:
This is a combination of "A Love so beautiful" and "Reply 1988". If you haven't watched these I highly recommend them! The plot is about a group of 18 year old bonding and supporting one another. Absolutely beautiful friendship. The film tells us about the struggles of an 18 year old life, one of the main struggle is college entrance exams and studying for it.
Music:
I watched this through YouTube and huge sections of the film had their audio replaced with some random instrumental because the OST was copyrighted. Such a bummer :(( The only OST I could listen to was the opening which sounds nice!
Acting/ Cast:
The male and female leads are eye candy, both so beautiful. Hua Biao smile lights up your day. Yang Xi hair cut, eyes and the way she looks at Hua Biao gives me vibes from Weightlifting Kim Bok Joo. All the cast did an amazing job portraying their character.
Rewatch:
Absolutely! This was so funny, sad and heartwarming to watch!
Spoilers/rant:
The ending is not enough!! I want a season 2, I need to know if they all reunite again and at least one of them ends up together. Why isn't a single character together?!
Hua Biao - Yang Xi
Li Yu- Huang Deng Deng
Yang Xiao He Mei - Yang Xi brother
I'm satisfied that it's a logical ending, how they need to go their own ways, but I just hope that in the future they will be able to encounter each other again and actually be with each other as in bf and gf.

This was my first ever Kdrama I watched and it led me to the world of Kdramas!I watched it twice; the second time, I'll admit, it was a bit boring.
The leads chemistry begins as love in first sight, which I find unrealistic. I felt like the chemistry between the second couples were better. This drama doesn't contain strong love triangles like in most kdramas.
The storyline felt realistic and interesting through out the series, but the last two episode ruined it. There was so many obvious advertisements of their sponsors and I felt like the last 2 episodes were absolutely useless. The part when ShiJin and DaeYoung come back to life made me feel like I was watching another drama, it just didn't make sense... Overall if you ignore all of the unrealistic things in this drama I would highly recommend watching!
The cast is perfect. I'm so happy that Song JongKi and Song HyeKyo got married in real life, if goes to show how much effort and emotion they put into their characters!
My favorite thing about this drama is their OST. All of their sound tracks are beautiful, it was the reason I decided to watch this drama again. Descendants of the Sun, Goblin and Scarlet Heart Ryeo has my favorite OSTs.
I would definitely re watch!!! 10/10 One of my favorite Kdramas ever!

Overall I loved this drama. The story was interesting and was beautifully put together.The only thing I didn't like was the ending, I need more! So many unfinished questions, this is why we need season 2!
Dislikes/ questions:
- What happened to Munsik and the boss, the left the story with too little detail about them. I know they got caught but I need to see them getting what they deserved... (Sorry I don't know how to explain that well)
- I need to see a better happy ending with the leads! The ending was cute though :)
- More scenes with Jian and her mom, I felt like their relationship wasnt strong enough
- What happened to MoonHo liking Jian, he didn't really have that much chemistry with her and wasn't much of a second male lead, (which is good cus i like Jian and healer scenes, lol)
- Master dying ????
Likes:
- Ajumma character, she is so funny and makes the series more up lifting
- The female lead doesn't create big problems from misunderstandings (unlike most kdramas )
- The healers bad ass character then cute Bosong
- The fight scenes
- Cute chemistry between leads
- Everything linking together

My first Cdrama was Meteor Garden, this is my second. Meteor Garden kind of dragged towards the end, and the ending was okay, but A Love so Beautiful kept me hooked through out the drama, every episode was interesting. The leads are not as frustrating.
This drama is filled with cute bubbly scenes. The leads are super adorable!!
The cast was perfect, all of the cast portrayed their roles well. (Warning you will get terrible second lead syndrome.)
There wasn't much music with lyrics mostly instrumentals. Music wasn't over played and was used well.
I would definitely re watch! Such a cute drama!
