I find it hard to believe that this was written by the same person who wrote "Bring It On, Ghost," a drama that I gave 4 stars to. That was vapid. This is packed with quality. There must be an unaccredited assistant hidden somewhere. I doubt that one could make such an improvement is such a short time.

I suffered through four episodes, then jumped to the last. Everything had transpired just as I thought it would. I feel that this was aimed at fifteen-year-olds. Plot development was super-slow. 4.0

I admit that this is totally subjective, but I feel that she is the best actor (that's male or female) in the world. The only one who comes close is Aamir Khan. I am very eager for Hide And Seek to become available. Why isn't Lee Yoo Ri in movies?

6.0 -- Mildly pleasant, but I do not understand the high average rating. It almost matches My Mister. To me, there was a vast difference in quality. Yes, they are different genres, but is this the greatest romcom of all?

S-L-O-W I watched most of this at 1.25.speed. Much of it at 2.0. A little bit at 1.0. Many repetitive scenes. Lots of slow dialogue. If it had been compressed into 20 episodes it would have been much better.

The great Buster Keaton used to be called 'The Great Stoneface.' Jang Ki Yang was much like that in this drama. I was surprised, because I liked him in supporting roles I have seen him in. Perhaps he was simply following the director's orders.

Jin Ki Joo -- I would love to spend a weekend kissing those lips. What a great smile. I would not dare say anything negative about her.

Heo Joon Ho dominated every scene he was in. What an evil character he portrayed.

It is a shame that the drama had to be so S-L-O-W.

Most of the way through, I thought that this was the sweetest movie that I had ever seen. I expected a happy ending. Alas, it turned into a tear-jerker at the end. I still give it a 9.0, due to that minor disappointment. The cinematography was wonderful -- as important to the story as the music was to The Beauty Inside. It makes me sad that it took me fifteen years to find it.

wravyn -- I just noticed your message after posting one of my own. Since you watched enough of the movie to get the idea, just skip to the last twenty minutes and see if you have the same reaction that I did.

I have never understood why this movie has such a strong following. To me, the 'Sassy Girl' character is extremely annoying. However, the last twenty minutes saved it. When I talk to people about it, I suggest that they skip everything before that.

As others have mentioned, this reminds one of Signal. It held my attention throughout. I hate it when I start to get bored, and my mind wanders. Three of my favorite actors in the leads. I almost got confused about the ending, but I put the pieces together after a moment's pause. For anyone not sure, look to Emylan's post below.

With some movies, you can be very passive and not pay careful attention. If you do that with Hwayi: A Monster Boy, you won't be able to put all the pieces together properly. It is worth the effort.

I guess that I am missing something. After the fifth episode, I decided that I could not go on much longer. I found it boring. I jumped to the finale, which went about as I expected. I did enjoy watching Lee Bo Young, but not enough to sit through any more of this.

Really enjoyed Flying Colors. The problem was with the subtitles. I could find two types -- bad and awful. Of course, I settled on bad. I know that there are Japanese who speak English very well. I see them on the financial channels. Maybe they could do part-time work for the movie industry.

I fail to understand the high average rating. There was not a single person in this whom I would ever want to have contact with. Not one student, parent, or teacher. I felt that way from the first minute. Moriguchi Yoko was okay, but that was only in the flashbacks. The pace was numbingly slow. Why would anyone want to wallow in this morass? "Different strokes for different folks," I suppose.

While very touching, I feel that the plot could have been fleshed out more. With more careful editing, the movie would have been 50 minutes long, without losing anything. I fast-forwarded quite a bit, but still had tears at the end.

GreyWarden97 -- I feel your pain. I am only in ep. 2, but I am wondering why it is rated so highly. Much of the acting is more Bollywood(silly) than Korea(realistic).

I watched this on Kissasian. It was translated by Nami (whoever that is). Nami does not speak English very well, so at times it was difficult to follow what was going on. I gave it a 7. If not for Nami, it might have been an 8. I have long been a fan of Uhm Jung Hwa, until she did that horrible "You Are Too Much."

I had some serious problems with this. Even Lee Sun Kyun, who is great is so many things could not do anything to save the awkward part he was given. Ryu Seung Ryong was awful. Im Soo Jung was very good. The story sucked. The husband was married to a woman who would not shut up and would not listen to others. I have a relative who is married to a woman like that. My relative is miserable, and nobody likes his wife. In this, the husband should be happy to get rid of her, but viewers know from the jump that he will end up wanting her back. No surprises here. Two hours lost.

I just watched the first episode and hated it. So Ji Sub, whom I usually like, seemed to be 'phoning in' his performance. Gong Hyo Jin will never be my favorite actress. I get the feeling that they were just showing us the rehearsal run-through. I will try episode 2 due to all the great reviews, but I have a feeling that this is not going to be as good as 'Gone With The Wind.' haha

I don't believe that a better movie has ever been made. This is one of the greats. I value stores about honor and responsibility. This is a two-hour movie that seems like four hours just because so much happens. Acting, writing, directing, overall production -- all of the highest quality.

I am a fan of Jung Jae Young, so I want to give this a high rating, but it is supposed to be a comedy, and I only chuckled once. Why was a 'dead' person driving the bus? There was little tension and few laughs. 5.5
