I watched this on the Lufthansa flight that brought me back home from Japan and I have to say it was a little of a disappointment. With So Ji Sub and Song Joong Ki in the cast I was expecting a lot more (besides the fact that their faces were constantly dirty with mud and it was hard to even recognize them throughout the whole movie). And it was also quite rough and very politically biased so a little bit of a punch in the stomach.
I can see age related different tastes in this list...my favourite romcoms would be Coffee Prince, Secret Garden, SKKS, Witch's Romance and You who came from the Stars. :)
I watched it twice because the first time the subs were awful and I couldn't understand the dialogues properly (which for me were fundamental to understand the story). I was a little disappointed by the plot as I found it quite simple and not particularly original, but I thought the acting was pretty intense especially by Song Seung Heon...and yes some of the intimate scenes were not that necessary in particular for them being pretty long...(the idea could have been given with shorter scenes all the same).
This was an interesting law/crime drama mostly because the subject of sex crimes was original and brave. Unfortunately towards the end of the story some situations and 'coincidences' were not so logical and believable and this lowered my appreciation for the writers. Jung Ryeo Won shone in her role and I hope to see Yoon Hyun Min in another main lead role soon. It's an 8 for me.
This was definitely an original and particular drama. The reason why I found it different from usual romcoms was the fact that here real life difficulties in relationships were described and also the long process it takes to solve them. I liked all the cast and enjoyed the developments concerning all three couples. The only aspect that I didn't like were the very slow dialogues between the two leads...I find it hard to believe that people in the real world would speak so slowly and just staring at emptiness most of the time. I did like the contents of the dialogues anyway even if not how they were performed. In any case it's a 9 for me.
I can't say much about this drama except that it gave me a heartwarming feeling whilst watching it. It didn't have a particularly great or original plot so for me it was more like watching real life relationships. The best character for me was Jung Woo and his tormented but very generous personality.
I really enjoyed this drama because it was original, clever and very well written and filmed. It gave me an overall warm feeling and it definitely made me want to go and visit France and all the beautiful places filmed here. Also the stories of the different couples were realistic and fun. It was an unexpected lovely surprise which I highly recommend. :)
The features I liked most in this drama were the photography/filming and the acting (Woo Tak was the best for me). The story had some unrealistic aspects (and I am not referring to the dreaming part). I also felt little chemistry between the leads so I would rate this drama with a 7.
I chose to watch this drama mainly for the second lead Zhang Vin who was amazing in The King's Woman and who was very good here too. As many have already written this story started off really well up until about halfway through when it started getting quite repetitive and predictable. However it luckily managed to keep its poetic aspect right until the end. Whenever I watch a Chinese historical drama such as this one I feel as if I have been reading a story in a book because of the type of plot enhanced by the stunning costumes and settings. The ending was typical of this kind of historical drama although I obviously hoped for something different. Overall it was a pleasant watch for me.
I am an Arashi fan so I only know him as an excellent singer of this band. I really appreciated reading this article as I learnt a lot more about him. :)
The aspects I enjoyed most of this drama were the beautiful settings of the sea and islands and the original idea of the hospital ship which looked after elderly patients. But in the story there was nothing new and different from many other medical dramas and even the noona romance was not involving enough. Yes overall it was a heartwarming watch because of the realistic stories and great team work but my rating can't be higher than a 7. I hope Ha Ji Won will choose better projects in the future.
He is one of my favourite Japanese actors although I haven't seen him in many dramas and recently I have been away from J dramas on the whole. I want to thank you for writing this article as I had no idea he had lived in Italy and played for such a famous soccer team. :)
