I thoroughly enjoyed watching this 4 part series as it was very easy to watch and was a nice break from some of the longer dramas I am watching at the moment.
It's the kind of drama you watch in one sitting and it was a breath of fresh air in its simplicity. I fully recommend it for anyone who is in a Kdrama slump or needs a nice distraction!

The story is a fairly basic one, but I thought the actors in the show played their parts very well. I haven't read the manga, but I thought each of the actors looked great (love you MatsuJun!) and at no point was I cringing due to wooden acting. I really hated Saeko, and I thought Ishihara Satomi played her part to perfection. However, I felt the strength of this show was in it's supporting characters- Rikudo, Sekiya, Kaoruko etc. They provided the comedy when the main storyline got a bit too much.
The music was great- not only did I LOVE the Arashi song, the other music was very well suited to the show.
I probably won't rewatch this show again- hence the low rewatch value score, but overall I enjoyed this drama. It's definitely a great one to watch when you want an interesting mix of melodrama and comedy.

I thought the cast were brilliant- at no point did I find their acting wooden etc and I thought the two main leads were fantastic. The last drama I had watched Lee Hong Ki in was You're Beautiful, so needless to say he was much better in this drama. The same went for Yang Jin Sung, as the last drama I watched her in was City Hunter.
I loved the music in it- especially Lee Hong Ki's song!
I don't tend to re-watch dramas, but I definitely will re-watch this one again sometime, hence why I gave it a 7.
I really enjoyed this drama, and I enjoyed all aspects of the show- from the romance between the two leads, the incredibly cute grandma and the ghostly backdrop of the curse (as well as the lovely ending). This is the best drama I've watched so far this year. :)

Subete ga F ni Naru was a gem for me this year- it was a compelling watch, and genuinely, every episode had something a little different to offer.
The story was well though out and well paced- if a bit odd at times. The promo photo had me expecting something QUITE different, but it was still a satisfying show to watch, with a romantic plot that was nicely subtle. The relationship between the characters was great, but I felt some of the supporting characters were not well rounded and had very little to offer to the plot at times. I personally think a season two would help sort that out!
The cast played their parts- especially the leads- very well. Moe and Saikawa were a brilliant duo, and I loved their camaraderie. My only issue, is as stated before, some of the cast were under- utilised.
I loved the theme song! It was the only music I really remember, but none of the background music was out of place, so no complaints there.
I doubt I will watch this drama again- at least not for a long time. I am still hoping for a season two to iron out all the niggling questions I still have however! (Much like Hard Nut!)
Overall, it was a great drama. I gave it a nine out of ten because of the loose ending. I still think there should've been at least a bit more to this series- another episode perhaps? It was a nice surprise to me as to how good of a series it was.
I thoroughly recommend Subete ga F ni Naru- its biggest failing is that it ended. :'(

All of the cast were excellent- I loved the chemistry between the leads, and I thought the secondary characters were great also. The cameo in episode 3 made me laugh SO MUCH :D
I really liked the music throughout the show- especially Choi Jin Hyuk's song :3
I'm giving it a re-watch value of six, only because I'm not likely to re-watch this drama, anytime soon.
Overall, I really liked this drama- it was definitely one of the best so far this year~!

The story is beautifully done- not a lot happens in this film,as it's more about the emotional consequences. I must admit- this is not an easy film to watch at parts, as it it heartrendingly sad. It's a real pity that this film is not more well known, as it is a fantastic film.
Yoo Yeon Seok and Yu Da In are brilliant as the two leads. Their portrayal as the broken couple is breathtaking and they make you feel every emotion they portray. The rest of the cast are great also- but it is these two that stay with you after the film ends.
The music in the film is very suitable- it is very poignant and enhanced the emotions of every scene.
I give this a rewatch value of 8, only as I feel this is not the kind of film that is easy to rewatch, due to its sad content.
Overall, I highly recommend anyone to watch this film. This is a powerful film, that will leave you more than a little bit teary after the ending.

The music was all instrumental, beautifully done and really added to the authentic feel of the film. I only rate the re-watch value at 8 because it's an unforgettable story- and I mean that in a good way!
It's one of the best Korean films I've ever watched, and certainly the best historical film. I entirely recommend watching it as you certainly won't regret it!

The storyline in this show was GREAT. I LOVED all of the relationships, and enjoyed all of the side story lines. Only in perhaps one or two episodes did I find a lull in the speed of the storyline. I especially loved the little flashbacks at the start of each episode!
All of the actors and actresses in this show were fantastic. And the cameos were AMAZING.
I really enjoyed the music- especially 'Crazy Time' and 'My Love'.
I don't tend to rewatch dramas, but I definitely will be rewatching this at some point!
Overall, a fantastic Rom-Com drama, which doesn't disappoint :)

The storyline was generally fantastic- every episode had me on the edge of my seat, unable to stop watching, and I couldn't wait for each episode to come out. I hate horror/scary films, but this one I thoroughly enjoyed. Towards the end, the storyline didn't have the same shock factor that the first fifteen did, but it is certainly still VERY well written with loads of plot twists. I thought the ending was very fitting. It is a fantastic, chilling mystery show.
The cast were superb but Lee Joon outshone the rest of the cast. This show- in my opinion- wouldn't have been as good without him, and I'm looking forward to what he does next. The last show I saw Kim Ji Won in was the Heirs, so I pleasantly surprised by how good she was in this. Yoon Sang Hyun- brilliant as always- and Kim Min Jung were a great duo. It was really well cast.
The music was good- I particularly liked the theme song 'Rush' by Every Single Day, I sang along to it every episode.
I really loved this drama, and I am going to rewatch it :D
I absolutely loved watching this drama, and I cannot recommend it highly enough- it has been the best drama so far this year! :D

I've watched similar movies such as Secretly, Greatly, and I was initially worried that it would be a bit too similar, but after watching it, I thought this movie had a great story line of it's own.
The cast were fantastic- this was my first time watching a movie with TOP in it and his character was really well played.
The interactions between characters, and the fantastic fight scenes made this a very enjoyable movie to watch. I highly recommend it!

I really enjoyed the storyline- and I was pleasantly surprised in how it pulled me in each week, despite the length of the drama, and I really loved the main characters! It was full of cliches, but I really enjoyed it! there was lots of backstabbing and family feuds, and twists in every episode practically! there were LOADS of characters I hated- too long to list, but I absolutely LOVED the Kim family :D
Overall, the cast were fantastic, especially the Uee and Jung il-Woo! I thought the actors who played the younger versions were great, as were the later cast!
Music was great- really added to some of the scenes- Ali 'the Vow' is the best in my opinion!
I'm giving it a low rewatch, as I don't rewatch dramas much!
Overall, probably the best Makjang to start off with! It deserved MUCH better ratings!
