This is one of the popular dramas before but came out as boring for me. One positive thing about this drama is the OST. I find it inviting and easy to listen to. Park Shin Hye did great here for me. Usually this is the usual roles I find Shin Hye playing/acting and I believe it is a perfect fit for her. On the other hand, Yong Hwa is not not that good in acting here - maybe because he is not an actor per se but an idol/singer. I did find the improvement in his acting in the latter parts of the drama. I liked the first parts of the drama, especially the competition between the classical string instruments and the band thing but as the story goes it came out as dragging for me and came too serious which was not in the premise.

I don't think this is a bad drama as what others think. The drama is pretty solid with it's theme and also how it portrayed it's leads. The drama did get boring at the latter parts, since the climax part did not really have that impact that it suppose to give. As I get to the episodes one by one, I came to appreciate the drama and how it unfolds. I also appreciate that they wanted the characters to have a proper ending, almost significant character in the drama is given the spotlight in the end. One downside of the drama for me is the downfall of the excitement or the interest of the drama.
I like the main leads, their acting is great for me as a watcher. The chemistry is also there. I also like the OST. I think this is a pretty decent drama, and I would still recommend this one.

Full House (2004) - It is hilariously good. I watched the drama in a day because I usually don’t do marathons nowadays but it’s a light-hearted drama, so it is so good. Though it was set years before, I can see some lacking parts of the scenes, but I still think it was good. I felt frustrations in both the female and male leads, but I guess it shows that I am affected with the story. Since Rain and Hye Kyo were still young in this drama, I could see the improvement in their acting nowadays. I really like how they keep me thrilled up until the end. I like it and it is fun to watch.

Ha Jiwon, So Ji Sub, Jo Insung – with this main cast, who wouldn’t watch this? I watch this drama out of curiosity. I believe they were rookies at the time, rising to be the big stars of today. I was still quite young when this first came out on our local television so I haven't watched this one. I picked it up when I got the time and the availability of english subtitles. The acting was good, but the story line seems a bit off to me. I think it’s quite old (2004), that’s why the transition is not that good comparing to recent dramas. I can't help but compare this to the recent ones because I picked it up on the recent years. The ending didn’t do anything justifiable, but I guess it was hurriedly done, I don’t know. I can’t basically recommend this drama.

It's one of those korean dramas that has a different take on me as a watcher. They did really really different especially in the comedic part since it really is focus on the comedy genre. I didn't have expectations for this drama since I just want to see a romance drama and feel butterflies but instead it was a fun and comedic, I was not really prepared to watch this one. I find myself laughing out loud in this drama. But since it is not my type of drama I would not rewatch this one. The 6 characters are really given the spotlight that they deserve, not just the "main leads." The cast did well in their respective roles, and also the cameos of the artists are also amazing and great.

What I like about VIP is that they keep the story engaging. With having the “affair” thing going on, it was not fast paced as I would have thought. The characters in the drama, particulary each individuaI involved has a story of their own and I like that they introduced each character with depth. Each of the main characters has a story to tell which made impact on the story as a whole because it makes you empathize with each one. The drama has the right thrill to it, it’s not too overwhelming as what others tend to do. It has its own kind of pace, which I think is appropriate for the whole drama – not to fast nor to slow for the story to unfold. I also like the fact na they incorporated the past scenes between the main love story and how it eventually falls apart in between. I like that it's not too sexual, though the it is obvious who is the other women, I was really convinced with the guy as the one but I was wrong. I love how they’ve shown the ending, and also their conversation at the end. I think it makes sense as well as satisfying for me as a viewer.

I think it's Lee Min Ho's best role so far, base on what I have seen so far. Although I'm not a fan of this drama, it's interesting. It is an SBS drama, and with SBS they really have that twist that made me question the whole plot, props to the writer and directors. The first part of the drama is really good. I could really see the dedication as well as the money they poured to the production and venue but as the story goes, I did not have the energy to continue watching this drama. I was happy to see Minyoung here as Kim Nana. Kim Nana is also one of her trademark roles that I usually call her in this name rather than her real name. What I find hard watching this is the english subtitles. I believe that at that time there is just a small community to subbers so it's hard to find a decent subbed Korean drama and I could really see the improvement in english subtitles as the year goes by. I appreciate the OST of this drama, especially the sad parts, I could really feel the emotions.

This is my first 2020 drama (I categorize CLOY as 2019). So this drama is like my entrance drama for this year 2020, but I was not at all happy/glad/satisfied with this. I think the reason why I did not like it as much is because of the first season, and I can't help but compare the two. The first season was much more convincing compare to this season. One thing that disappointed me as well is the hair style of Ahn Hyoseop, why oh why? He was so handsome in the drama Abyss and I don't really know what happened here. I like Lee Sung Kyung here, I have seen improvements in her acting skills especially that it’s my second time seeing her as a doctor. I like this drama, but I felt that something is lacking.

This drama is just my type, with a slice of life genre I enjoyed watching this. I would say this is not for everyone, but for me the pacing is good and discusses the reality of Korean society. The taboos and problems presented are sensitive but they portrayed it in a good way, with comedy into it so it is somehow accepting. The "drinking solo" theme particularly in every episode expression is also good part to me. What made this drama enjoyable as well is the side characters. They are consistent and even Key who is not an actor did well here acting wise. For me, it was an interesting drama and I would recommend this to others, but more likely those who like this type of genres.
