Uhm Ji Won and Yeon Jung Hoon! What a couple, what a chemistry!
This is a classic, light, funny drama with a great roles of Uhm Ji Won and Yeon Jung Hoon. They create a special and amazing bond from the very first scene and the whole story is about them. They have sparkling dialogs, extravagant personalities, sweet scenes together.The plot is a little bit complicated, there are a lot of cliché and tropes such a fake identity, cold and jerk male protagonist, revenge, intrigue to obtain the money… but leads play beside the plot and above the script. Her character is written as a dumb and irritating girl and his character as a selfish tyrant and jerk, BUT both of actors were able to make their characters lovable, funny and charming.
For the most part of drama (17 episodes) there is no clear romance but at the same time we are deeply engaged in their sweet relationship.
It was a pleasure to watch Uhm Ji Won and Yeon Jung Hoon. They have amazing skills. I highly recommend this drama, although some phones and outfits went already out of fashion.

Everyone loves Nam Da Reum, because he is very talented and sweet, but in "Beautiful World" the biggest star is young Seo Dong Hyun, who portrayed the complicated character of a boy (Joon Seok) trapped between family ambition and longing for true love and friendship. It was a pleasure to watch him and his emotions.
Drama is not easy. The beautiful world is full of lies, greed and violent. But it isn't a simple crime story with detective work, because the scenario tells about parents' moral responsibility for children, as well teachers' for students.
One of a big advantage in this drama is a cast: there are second-line actors who usually don't play the main role and here they can shine.
The story, acting, filming, music and directing are good. I highly recommend, the drama has not flaws. You will sincerely hate the bad guys and love the good ones.

It is a beautiful story about growing up, about how teenagers have to deal with family problems, friendship, anger and frustration. All this is told in a beautiful way, because the movie shows in perfect harmony the carelessness of school years, teenage love, violence in family, self-destruction and sweet friendship.
This film among the other Chinese movie I like the most. It has a wonderful visual side, shots and filming are excellent. The director portrayed the complicated emotional life of a girl and a boy. The story is captivating. And there is almost no communist propaganda.
I highly recommend! And you have to watch it to the very end!

It’s written very well and makes you watching with intense attention. Kim Myung Min is great, his character has two faces, before and after amnesia, and well, it isn’t the only amnesia in this show :)
It’s a classic law drama and there are some difficult and complicated cases with financiers, but also some murders for ‘normal’ viewers. The second half of the drama it’s hard to follow because of heavy financial and economical slang. But we also have some funny moments with Oh Jung Se and then we can breathe a little.
There are two women: Park Min Young—supposed to be a main lead, and fiancee (Chae Jung An). The fiancee is obviously a deeper and more interesting character. The director wants to rescue Park Min Young giving her more screen time, but I think it isn't effective.
Judge Jeon Ji Won (played by Kim Ji Han, loved by everyone Tal Tal) is enigmatic, is he good or bad? You don’t know and you have to wait to the end.
Trying to solve sophisticated financial vocabulary, you can wonder if the screenwriter plays with us and gives us the recipe to create a huge fiscal scam..., but it is not true, right?
I recommend this drama for everyone who loves justice, law, court and handsome judges.

But surprisingly there are many things to talk about. First of all it’s an artistic project, with unrestricted and free directing (and very small budget), and that’s why this mini-drama is original and sophisticated. The main motive is…a bottle recycling with a fantasy idea of jinn in the bottle.
The plot is rather complicated: we can watch the romance, moral dilemma, supernatural being, comedy and irony, the theme of reusing bottles… what can we not find in 8 min. episode?
I really like this plenty of contents and light, ironical style of the drama.
I can rewatch it anytime, because it’s only 8 minutes long for each episode.
I give 10/10, because it isn’t a classic and serious drama, but rather an experimental one which shows the ability of the director Kim Jung Hoon and I like the result.

The script is outstanding, intelligent and dialogs are true. To say that it presents the problems of couples is not enough. It is definitely not a sweet romance, but a picture of fight between families, greed, ambition, disappointment, love and desire. The pace is super fast, faster than in action movies, you don't get bored even for a moment.
There are no supporting characters, all stories are presented in detail, but the most interesting are mothers, who are well written and even better played.
Mother of him, played by Seon Woo Eun Suk, is pretentious, hypocrite, childish and selfish.
Mother of her, played by Lee Mi-Sook, is vulgar, furious and greedy, she is also a strong mother, who will do everything for her daughters. In fact she is the main character of this drama.
Sung Joon once again plays a character much older than himself, but as always is OK and Jung So Min the same.
There is no cliche, so this is the original drama, sadistically precise and true.
Music is ambitious.
I love everything in this drama. Do I recommend to anyone to watch it again? Only if you want to go through this battlefield again.

Characters: The most interesting and mysterious character is the traveler brother played by Jung Moon Sung. I would like to follow his history and maybe love, but he hardly appears on the screen. The Mother - well played with the animus. The fiancee - yes, well played. The friend and the director - there is nothing to watch. Do Ha - I wonder what his character does and what he wants? It`s boring to watch him as amorous chebol. Mika - Lee Sung Kyung mainly plays with her eyes and lips and she MUST sing all the time. Nothing special. The main theme of time and clocks seems to be not important any more. I liked this drama because of pinch of fantasy, but now I`m disappointed. The storyline has lost its freshness. Still I will watch to the end to see the solution of time problem.
The music is good enough.
It`s good drama for everyone who wants light and little boring romance. And you do not have to stop the episode to go and make a cup of coffee in the kitchen.

Good actors play in a bad way, the script and dialogues are lazy and slow, the interactions between characters are stiff and unnatural. There is almost no direct confrontation between the protagonist and the antagonist, which should be the main theme of the scenario. There are too many characters and too many plots.
The pace is so sloooow. It may be confusing, because it seems to be drama of action. But no, action is too big word here.
I do recommend this drama only if you do not expect anything exciting and original. Just to watch handsome and talented Joo Ji Hoon, Jin Se Yeon – better than usual, evil Kim Kang Woo and sweet Shin Rin A.
