Story: The first 2 episodes were amazingly exciting. I thought wow if this how the rest of the episodes are going to be im in for one awesome medical drama. Then as episode by episode passed, my interest in the show dwindled. By episode 15 I had had enough and my love for the actors was not enough to make me keep wasting any more hours on watching a boring drama. Really all your getting is medical case after medical case. I understand this is a medical drama but the writers could have done a better job with balancing personal story arcs of the main characters to make it more engaging. For example, the writers pimped this out as a medical romance. Even up to episode 15 there was zero romance, which I was really looking forward to. Really unless your completely obsessed with the medical field, you will find this drama completely boring. So don’t waste your time especially since the ending is nothing to brag about.
Acting/Cast: Lee Sun Gyun showed a different side that I haven’t seen before. He stepped up his game and I just find it so odd how he can play someone way younger than his actual age. He’s almost 40! Hwang Jung Eum was kind of the same as always but I like her acting style even though a lot of her characters feel the same. Lee Sung Min (King 2 Hearts) plays a major role in this one so I thought it was cool that he plays a very serious and brilliant surgeon because his character in Pasta was the total opposite. He is a wonderful actor! As for the supporting cast, noone really made their character stand out to me but you do see some famailiar faces (from Pasta).
Music: The indie band Every Single Day produced the OST (same as Pasta) so while it was good for the drama, its not something I wanted to listen outside of the show, which was a bit disappointing because I love the Pasta OST so much.
Rewatch: Couldn’t even finish it the first time so yeah that’s out of the question.
Overall Golden Time failed to keep me engaged so I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have the patience.

What I did like was the acting. The actors made all thier characters feel believable and realistic. Another thing I liked was the comedy aspect. They didn't try to hard and added natural comedic scenes here and there.
What I didn't like was the story itself. It went back and forth between both guys and by the end I was like just pick someone already! But who I wanted her to end up with she didn't so kind of bummed... really though the ending is not really that believable to me. Did she really make the right decision for herself? Maybe a realistic decision but I don't think in her heart she did because really how can you get over a guy that quickly??Another thing I didn't like was all the time changes. You'll see what I mean but it was confusing because they dont tell you its been a certain amount of years till way after. So it gets a little confusing.
Well this movie was okay but the story could have been a little more stable.

Story: The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite movies and the plot of this, really reminds me of it. Although sometimes it was hard to believe that the people around the main character took him for someone else cause there wasn’t that much of a change in the characters appearance. So use your imagination folks! If your looking for romance theres not much to look forward to cause the relationship of the main couple is well established in the first 2 eps. There is some romantic angst throughout though due to the fact that the couple cant be together till the end. The biggest weakness I found is the pacing and the episode count. It just slows a lot of the developments down and the momentum is lost to the point you get bored by the middle. Happy but bittersweet ending.
Acting/Cast: This is the first time Ive seen Go Soo, although I’ve heard of various projects he’s been in. His performance wasn’t bad or anything and hes very attractive but I just thought his expressions could have been taken to another level during certain scenes that called for it. Ive only seen Lee Da Hae in romcoms so it was a nice change to see her do drama. It just proves what a versatile actress she is. Lee Jong Hyuk played the villain perfectly. His character was a baddie but he plays him with such charm that you cant help but sympathize with his actions. By the end, I actually came to like a lot of the supporting cast as well.
Music: I don’t really remember it but it was really dramatic and fit with the revenge theme.
Rewatch: If the pacing was better I think I could have watched it again sometime in the distant future but its not so I’ll pass.
Overall Green Rose is a pretty good older revenge drama worth at least a watch if you’re a fan of any of the leads.

The acting was exceptional because all the characters made me feel thier pain. Special shout out goes to Lee Kyu Han for his ability to portray a nice guy who can quickly change into a scary dude. I really liked him in smile you too. I want him in a starring role where he actually gets the girl though! I first seen Eric in Spy Myung Wol. I have to say I liked him in QSS even though he is a jerk for most of the time. He is starting to grow on me.
The music is hip and also emotional so it really went well with the scenes.
Rewatch value is low because the plot was not special enough for me to want to watch again.
Overall this drama is very good but was missing some things to make it spectacular...

Acting/Cast- The acting was perfect and I loved all the characters. The female lead had great chemistry with both guys. I liked the supporting charatcers.
Music- It was very good.
Rewatch- I would watch this again cause the story was different and I liked the whole cast a lot.
Overall this is a stand out J drama.

Story: The first couple eps were a bit funny and there was a good paced plot but shortly before the half way mark the plot kind of fizzles and everything became slow paced causing me to push myself to finish an episode. Even though most romcoms don’t have a plot, they will push the laughs for entertainment purposes but this one didn’t even have that. The ending was nice at least.
Acting/Cast: MGY and PSH were amazing as expected. However, I think the writers could have written Se Kyung better because her flat character didn’t give MGY very much to work with expressionwise. I don’t think its her fault because her character was too intense and she was able to service that. I liked all the supporting characters but once again Kim Ji Suk failed to make his second lead stand out. I just wanted to add that chemistrywise, I didn’t feel that intensity between the leads. It might be that MGY looked like a kid the entire drama to me.
Music: I liked most of the songs and will be downloading them to my ipod=)
Rewatch: I didn’t really care about the OTP, the boring story, and the fact I skipped 4 eps the first time doesn’t make this something Ill be torturing myself to watch again.
Overall I really don’t recommend this even if you’re the biggest fans of the leads cause its just a waste of time.

Story- The first 12 episodes were okay. They went by at a good pace not too slow but nothing significant happened to capture my attention. I felt they could have cut a couple of episodes out of this part of the story, making the drama shorter. The last 12 episodes were epic and filled with heartbreaking romance, action, and just plain excitement. The ending was bittersweet but a pleasant surprise.
Acting- I'm really really glad Park Shi Hoo took this role on. He showed in his last 2 dramas that he is HOT and a good but not excellent actor. Well in this drama he showed a variety of acting skills and definitely proved his excellent acting ability. I hope he wins an award for best actor=D Moon Chae Won performed her role well but I actually dont think this is her best character she has played. The supporting cast all performed their roles well but I wasnt obsessed with the characters. I do want to mention the little actress that plays PSH's niece. She was so believable and seems so talented for such a young age. Definitely want to see more from her.
Music- Was intense and really added to the changing mood. When it was romance scenes the music was lovely. When there was fighting the music heightened and elevated the suspense.
Rewatch- Although I liked the show I didnt have that special feeling I get when Im obsessed over a show. Because of this Im not sure whether I would rewatch this or not.
Overall my favorite part of The Princess' Man is the romance storyline between the main characters and definitely would recommend it for that reason=)

Story- Your typical medical drama. Every episode there are cases and different patients. Half way in I got tired of seeing every patient consultation and all the surgeries. They show all the surgeries for all the patients so it got to be too repetitive for me and therefore I fast-forwarded through those parts. What I enjoyed most is the interactions between the hospital staff and more of their personal story arcs. To me, that was worth watching it to the end. The main romance wasn’t the best because the main actress didn’t have any chemistry with LBS. She actually didn’t have any chemistry with the other main guy either. So the love triangle was a fail for me. The ending was nice.
Acting/Cast- I loved the main guys. They are actors I usually follow so I was happy to see them both. The main actress did a fantastic job in 49 Days but here she kind of held back I think in this one. It also didn’t help that her character annoyed me at times. I loved the other 3 residents. Their love triangle was fun to watch. The other supporting cast did a great job.
Music- I didn’t like the music at all and it really was distracting. A few songs fit, but most of the music was random and not needed.
Rewatch- the episodes fly by fast and it was never boring so it is rewatchable but it’s not something I need to see again.
Overall Surgeon Bong Dal Hee isn’t a drama that needs to be watched unless you’re a fan of anyone in the show but if you do end up watching , its not a bad drama to waste some hours.

Story: Pretty much a standard workplace drama set in a hotel resort with rivalry ownership/competition as the main focus, and it kind of reminds me of Ji Hun Woo’s other drama Birth of the Rich but less dramatic. The romance could’ve been written better because for most of the drama the main character is in love with his childhood crush and towards the end he just happens to do a 180 and falls for the main female character (I prefer straightforward romances).
Acting/Cast: Now I went into this knowing what to expect from JHW just because I’ve happened to dabble in some of his other dramas (never managing to finish them due to crappy stories) so all I can say is he was serviceable but his character was just one I didn’t connect with. He also had no romantic chemistry with Nam Sang Mi, who is an actress I had never seen before but found her character extremely annoying (her fake laugh made me want to punch her at times). I found the second leads more sympathetic and more real.
Music: Fit the drama perfectly and some were catchy.
Rewatch: I don’t see why anyone would want to watch it again unless you’re a fan of the leads.
Overall, Invincible Lee Pyung Kang is standard fare and should only be watched when you really have nothing to watch.

I liked the cast but I wasnt in love with them. Thier acting was very good though. To be honest I never grew to like the main female character. I kept watching to see Ryu Su Young\''s smile.
The music was very good although with 2 songs it got to be a little repatative.
I\''m not sure whether Id watch this drama again just because I dont feel I have to see the characters again.
Overall this has an interesting enough story but I dont have any special feelings for it. I\''d reccommend watching it once though when you\''ve exhausted better choices.

Acting- Hotaru is a character that is well rounded. Shes laid back and silly but knows when to get it together. Sometimes its hard to like her character cause she seems to naive at times. The actress did a great job portraying her different qualities. Seiichi is manly but has a shy exterior. Its hard to show his feelings.Thats why he gets no romance in this sseason. I really liked the supporting cast!
Music- I don\''t really remember the music so id rate it average.
Overall- A nice romance drama that will teach you about hard work and how to balance that with having fun.
