I Really Really Like You (2006)

This drama is really cute. The love triangle can be a bit tiresome and frustrating, but isn't that the way love triangles are.

I really liked Lee Min Ki in this because he was so funny. The expressions on his face and the gestures, it's hilarious.

Plus, you do get the "who will she pick" tension, so the final outcome is much anticipated.

Also, the scenes with the cooking made me hungry too, so better bring some munchies.

It's 34 episodes and that can be an investment in time, but it's well worth it.

The only low score I've given is for rewatchablility; not because it's not worth a rewatch, but rather because I only rewatched certain episodes I found particularly cute and not all 34 in a row again.

Ok first let me just start with saying "this drama is very underrated"... I started it solely because I was in the mood for something old and a typical k drama. I really had no idea it was this good!! I'm not even a fan of any of the cast... at least I wasn't but now I am totally in love with Lee Min Ki.

Story: though the story is very simple yet it kept me entertained all the time! it's a 34 eps drama and yet it had me hooked up and entertained during the whole thing I wasn't even counting the eps (which is what I usually do when it comes to typical k drama)... I had so much fun watching each ep to the extent that I lost track of the number of episodes and found myself watching the last ep already!! This drama is a mixture of everything, comedy, romance, drama, family, dreams and hopes...etc I have to say the comedy part in this drama made me laugh like crazy and the romance part kept smiling at the screen, squeezing my pillow and even talking to myself like an idiot (yes it was that cute and lovable!!)... and finally the drama part at some point it even made me tear up (and I'm not a person who tears up so easily). The story isn't special but it was fun I really really had fun watching it.

Acting: LEE MIN KI!! I can't describe him in words it wouldn't be fair to him... I absolutely loved his character... there is no need to comment on his acting skills since he's the one who made my heart ache the most, smile the most, laugh the most and kept me wanting more of this drama more of Nam Bong Gi. Eugene did an amazing job I have seen her in 3 dramas she was good but here she's EXCELLENT I think Yuh Bong Soon's character is her best work specially the Satturi Accent I'm really impressed.

Music: though it's an old drama so the OSTs isn't exactly stylish, but I loved them all I really liked each and everyone of them specially the melodies they were really nice.

Rewatch: I don't really like rewatching dramas, but I think it's the kind of drama that doesn't die with time, you can go back and watch it again and still enjoy it like the first time.

Overall: "IRRLY" is very beautiful fun drama, so k drama fans out there please give this drama a chance... why not watch it while waiting for an airing drama? just give it a try it's really one of the most underrated dramas... I rarely give typical/simple k drama a 9 but this drama deserves it I enjoyed every minute of it.
