The movie started off just being funny as the leads meet by "coincidence" and then start this weird partnership of doing all these odd jobs to make quick money. For a comedy I thought they wrote the story more realistic than I'm use to seeing with K romantic comedies. The story does get a bit dramatic towards the end due to some unforseen events, although I quite guessed what happened would happened. The romance in this was really light and we don't really see any payoffs till the end. I didn't really have a problem with this because although the leads had a good chemistry I didnt sense a romantic connection. It could be the fact that HYS looks 10 yrs older than SJK. Anyways the actors did a great job with thier characters and portrayed thier flaws perfectly. I'd watch this again but not right away because I wasn't in love with the story.

I loved the leads together and they had such a good chemistry. I wished the writers used that to thier advantage. The supporting cast in this was okay but not as memorable as the one in the first.
Overall this is a good movie that can be watched again but in a few years.

The story starts off really funny like most romantic comedies but soon went off to an angsty direction. Some episodes were more entertaining than others but overall the plot was shall i say boring? I feel liked nothing happened and as the episodes went on it became harder for me to finish each episode. The ending was cute as least.
The entire cast was really great. If it wasn\''\''t for them I definitely would have stopped watching. The supporting cast really was wonderful.
The OST is another plus. Went on my ipod right away.
I don\''\''t have any plans to rewatch this because the story is tooo forgettable.
Overall the cast and OST are what make this drama great.

Acting/Cast- Okay so I love Han Chae Young as an actress in DElightful Girl but here shes seems to fall flat. I also think she just had an okay chemistry with Jo Hyun Jae. nothing to make me wish they were never apart. Speaking of him, I loved him in 49 Days but here he is nothing special. I actually preferred Lee Chun Hee. He was just so cute and his love for the female lead shined through more than JHJ's character. The little boy was too cute!
Music- Very creative as most of the songs featured had the words "only you" somewhere in the lyrics like the Title of the Drama. There was also some funky music involved during scenes.
Rewatch- I don't think I can rewatch this because of the last episodes and because of the lack of exciting chemistry among the leads.
Overall- This is an ordinary drama to watch once if you finished all the other amazing dramas out there.

Story: The first 5 episodes were kind of just crazy but slow at the same time. I was getting the feeling that all we were going to see the entire drama is random people just dropping like flies and Jin has to try and come up with different ways to save them. But then as the drama progressed I started to see that there was an actual plot starting to develop (the royal politics, love triangle, advancing medical technology, the Gisaeng’s mysterious connection to Jin). So for me anyway the drama did get better and better with each episode that passed and I really enjoyed it till the end. With that all being said, the drama wasn’t perfect because I found myself lost and confused many times but hey I was just happy I didn’t have another boring drama on my hands.
Acting/Cast: I hate to say it but wow was this the wrong part for SSH! Im a fan but his historical look was awful and his line delivery was monotone, which made his character really boring. Oddly enough though during his modern scenes I found his acting okay. I think he should stay away from historicals all together. As for Lee Bum Soo, its hard not to notice that he totally stole the male lead status away from SSH. His character development was amazing as he went from being this crazy alcoholic looking bum on the streets to a man in power that is respected by many. Lets face it, he pretty much carried the show. So...I was proud of rookie Jae Joong as his acting was kind of shaky in the beginning but you can tell he practiced really hard and got stronger by the end of the drama. Park Min Young was really good but I feel like her character was useless to the story and she looked like a really young girl in her historical garb so it was really strange for me to watch her scenes with SSH.
Music: Good fit for the drama but not memorable. Nice sounding song by Jae Joong though but kind of boring at the same time.
Rewatch: I liked it well enough the first time so I wouldn’t mind watching it again but it would be way down the line.
Overall Dr. Jin isn’t that bad as everyone is making it out to sound. Hey if it got someone like me (who doesn’t dabble in this genre too often) to watch till the end, then it’s pretty watchable.

Story- So reading the synopsis you don't really get much. The mother making the marriage deal with the younger main female character is really the smallest part of the plot. The bigger story lies in the entanglements of the older adult characters. Their story pretty much takes over most of the plot with the romance btwn Park Ye Jin & Jung Gyu Woon's characters being the underlying plot. There's many twists thrown in that does make this a worthy drama to watch. I didn't like the ending all that much for the older adult characters because it seemed so messed up. The ending for the young couple was good but I felt like the writers kind of treated it like it was no big deal. The biggest problem that I had with this drama is the fact it was way to long. It really could have been done in 18 episodes max. Towards the middle I got tired of the older cast's storyline and therefore fast forwarded through a lot of their scenes. I even skipped like 3 episodes towards the end just so I could get it over with.
Acting- The older female leads did a solid job. I felt thier pain and felt sympathetic towards thier characters even thought they both could be called villains. I had no sympathy for the older adult male lead. His acting seemed fake and I just didn't like his character at all. As for the young leads, Park Ye Jin did a decent job acting wise because she actually showed some expression. In contrast, Jung Gyu Woon really was solid. He portrayed his complex character so well.
Music- Fit the scenes well but it wasn't memorable.
Rewatch- It's low because I can't watch this whole drama again due to the amount of episodes. I would get bored easily.
Overall, if you like dark dramas with really complex characters, and have a lot of patience, I would say give this one a try.

Story: Just realistic portrayals of relationships. The main OTP doesnt even interact that much until almost the end so that was kind of a bummer. I didnt like the open ending.
Acting/Cast: I already have seen the lead actor and actress before so I know they can act well but I loved their chemistry. Just wished they had more scenes together. The actress that played Min Ae cant act and it didnt help that her character was a b*tch the whole time. The actress that played Yu Jin has the most annoying voice ever and her character was so unlikable! I really wanted to fast forward all her scenes which unfortunately she has a lot of. I really liked the other supporting characters!
Music: All indie which is a genre Im into so Ill definitely be downloading the OST when I get the chance.
Rewatch: There isnt a point really to watch this again since the ending isnt all that great.
Final Thoughts: Soulmate isn't boring, has a lot of interesting characters, and a cool OST but its not something that has to be watched unless you have time to spare.

I really liked the story. I really liked the subtle humor. I found the band's journey inspiring as they faced all these hardships to make it the spotlight. Some things i didn't like was that they could have written more for the other 3 guys in the band. They all had stories but they were only briefly touched upon. I'm not really clear if there was a romance between the PD lady and the singer of the band cause there were only a few certain scenes that kind of pointed in that direction but then they would cut to something else and the ending was confusing too.
The acting was alright. The actress that plays the PD didn't have all that much to do to portray her robotic character seeing how this is how she acts in her other roles ive seen her in. The main singer guy made his character believable cause hes actually a really good singer but his acting isn't anything special. The other 3 guys in the band had very few lines so its hard to judge them.
The OST was really good. I might add the songs to my ipod. That "summer dream" song is really catchy cause they play it every 5 minutes it seems.
I'd rewatch this one but not right away.
Overall Mr. Idol is a fun watch but better casting could have made it even more enjoyable.

The acting was very good by everyone especially the leads. Yoon Shi Yoon really has improved from Baker King. I really liked that his character was actually nice and innocent which is a switch from our regular arrogant male leads. Lee Ji Ah played her character very well but I never came to like her character, which is probably the reason I didn’t love the show. I liked the supporting characters they added some fun.
The OST was really good. Ill be sure to put most of the songs on my ipod to listen to=)
This drama is rewatchable but I'm not interested in watching again cause I didn't like the main female character at all!
Overall this is just another predictable watch to pass the time.

Story- has the most hilarious script ever! I don’t know how many times I cried from the laughter because it really is just too much. The plot is pretty average being that nothing really happens outside of them working in an office and the romances that develop. It does get a bit dramatic in some of the episodes. The ending was perfect=)
Acting/Cast- Perfect casting! I seriously loved not only the 4 leads but the supporting characters as well. Wang Ji Hye was awesome as Ice Cream. I'm a new fan of hers, Ji Sung, and JaeJoong.
Music- I liked 3 songs from the OST enough to put them on my ipod. Some of the other songs fit the scenes but weren’t memorable to me.
Rewatch- Id watch this once a year for the laughs and b/c I loved the characters so much.
Overall Protect the Boss isn’t perfect by far, but it has just the right amount of entertainment. That, along with the awesome cast, makes it a romantic comedy that will be remembered for a long time to come.

The story was just really fun. I laughed a lot and even shed a tear close to the end. Each ep is fresh because it has its own storyline while keeping the big picture in mind.
The acting wasn't spectacular but I think the girls did a pretty good job in thier roles. They kept the spirit of the sailor girls in tact!
The music was pretty catchy but the only thing I didn't like is the actual singing. Thier voices are horrendous LOL.
I'll rewatch this but a long time from now.
Overall, they did a pretty good job of capturing the greatness that is sailor moon. It was nice to relive my childhood=D

Story: Hotel politics and romances= nothing new but it had great pacing, which is key to keeping me engaged. Great ending!
Acting/Cast: So I'm going to start with Bae Yong Jun who plays Frank. Ive heard so many things about this actor and did find him attractive in his small bit in Dream High, but his acting in this was quite disappointing. He had no charisma, and I never managed to connect with his character, therefore rooting for the female lead to be with the other male lead. The rest of the three leads, who I am familiar with all were great as I expected them to be. I really liked all the supporting characters, they made the drama much more enjoyable.
Music: What you would expect from an oldie.
Rewatch: I had a good time watching this so I wouldnt ming rewatching again sometime in the near future.
Overall, Hotelier might be old but its one of the better dramas out there.
