This drama is so easy to watch, I wasn't expecting much and was planning to watching it as filler but it was so much more. The story is about a group of five friends and how they lean on each other and help each other as they grow into adulthood. The story is cute and funny.

Great drama that will keep you engaged from the first episode all the way to the last minute of the last episode. It is definitely a thriller but it has little sprinkles of cute parts that will make you smile. The mystery starts early and I had my theories early in the drama but it kept me guessing. The story is around a murder but the story is more around human nature. Great drama

I fell for this drama from the first episode, the story was different and backstory was well thought out. The main story line is about an unforgettable love that starts in childhood and how live and outside factors can create roadblocks for the main characters.

This was my first drama with Joo Jin Mo but I love his movies so I had very high expectations and he did not disappoint. I think that the first couple episodes when we get the backstory were very well done and left me longing for more episodes of their childhood.

This is truly a melodrama so expect lots of feelings and heartache and frustration.

I just randomly picked this movie without reading any reviews and it had been on my list to watch for a while. This movie was wonderfully touching and emotional. It tells the story of a boy and how he lives his life trying to fulfill the promise he made his father. Although emotional it does have its funny moments.

I didn't expect the roller coaster ride that this drama ended up being. I am still on a high from marathoning this drama in three days. The storyline while simple takes so many turns and twists that it keeps you guessing the whole way through. What would you do if you had a chance to change the past? that is pretty much the plot of the drama but so much more. This drama will make you smile and cry and laugh. Jin Wook is truly amazing in this role, you love him from when his first character appears. This drama is a must watch...

I have to admit I started this drama because of Hyun Bin after watching Secret Garden And My Lovely Sam Soon so when I started this drama I had high expectations, well this did not measure up. The female lead was not very relatable and looked like an alien more an adopee returning to the country of her birth. Like most dramas the western characters were very unrealistic.

I really tried to enjoy the drama but it didn't really go anywhere, I wasn't sure who I was rooting for or if I wanted to root for any of them. It may have been ok if I didn't have Hyun Bin's other dramas to compare this too so if you are looking for something like Secret Garden this is not it

Such a wonderfully touching story. I had his drama on my list to watch for a while and decided to start it one Saturday afternoon, all I can say is I finished watching the drama Sunday. It is not your typical drama even though you may think so at the beginning but it takes you on a completely different trip.

This drama is about love lost, love found, and regret over missed love. Behind all the pain there is a wonderful mother daughter relationship that warms your heart.

Please don't let subject matter of AIDS make you miss out on this gem of a drama.

I may be one of the rare people that enjoyed this one more than the first I Need Romance. I enjoyed getting the male perspective in this season. Although some of the back and forth was a bit much I really enjoyed the relationship between the couples and the female friends. There was a bit more realism in this version than the first one.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this drama when i started it but I was hooked from the first episode. This drama is a good mix of action and cute romance. There is a lot of backstory that slowly is revealed but the story doesn't drag...every episode reveals enough to make keep coming back.

If you a romcom fan don't miss out on this drama because you think it is an action drama...it is well worth watching.

Great little drama with an element of suspense. Wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started watching this drama but ended up being quite enjoyable. There are some familiar themes that most drmam watches are used to like the love triangle and the misunderstandings but this drama seems to twist all these familiar themes a little to give a new view.

This drama will have you guessing who done it all the way to end thinking you know and at the next twist you think it's someone else. Along with all the suspense there is actually a really cute love story.

I can't lie I started watching it for Dong Wook but stayed for the funny and thrilling story. It didn't catch me at the first episode but by the second the laughs kept me glued to the screen. This is definitely a good one to marathon if you are so inclined, I completed it in three days.

The story is not typical drama storyline...not too much on the evil controlling parents but more around the story about friendship, relationships, the ending and beginning and disillusioned love. The story while light really touches on some heavy themes although it doesn't dive deep into the heavy themes it does not sugar coat them either.

Some dramas leave you emotionally drained but this one will leave you feeling good...enjoy

This was a hard movie to watch and not because it was a bad movie but because the story is a little disturbing. I had seen this movie on most must watch movie lists so I gave it a try without reading a summary.

I am glad I watched it because it is a great movie, very well made, excellent acting, and complicated story. This is truly a master piece and now I understand why so many people rave about it.

This movie keeps you questioning and trying to understand what the intent/motives of the characters all the way to the end.

This drama is funny, clumsy, and quite enjoyable. The story of a little older, a little heavier Sam Soon and her adventure in love and work with a wealthy, cocky Jin Heon. We have all familiar with the dramas of the rich jerk and the poor girl but this drama has the twist of the older poor girl.

The beginning episode was not what I expcted but as the drama continued it fell into the usual drama pattern. Although you can predict what will happen I really enjoyed this drama and have re-visited it quite a few time. I really enjoyed the relationship of the lead couple.

I stumbled upon this drama special by accident and figured to try it. Oh am I glad I did, it a wonderful story of friends and love. I really enjoyed watching how the friendship and love between these friends developed and how they redefined first love. Fair warning, this will have you crying but the ending is so sweet it is well worth the tear.

First of all forget about the first Full House, this drama stands up by itself. The only thing about the two drama that connects them is that the house in both dramas has the same name but besides that they have a different feel and different story. You don't have to watch them in order or anything because the stories are not connected at all. I watched Full house almost two years ago and loved it so I was a little weary about watching Full House Take 2 because most sequels don't hold up when compared to the first so I held off watching it. So on a whim I started watching it two days ago and just finished it. I couldn't stop I marathoned it any time I had a free 30 minutes.
The story is simple and for most you can figure out the main couple early in the story but the two main characters are so cute that you can't but continue watching. The middle gets a little too ultra dramatic with a few too many misunderstandings but they finish it off really well.
This drama is an easy quick watch, do not compare it the original and watch it without comparing it to Full House and you will enjoy it.
