There was not a thing to dislike about this movie! It was HILARIOUS. There were serious parts thrown in, but regardless.. overall a MUST WATCH. Both parties had something to gain from faking their marriage - It isn't really one of those contract marriages we see a lot in Kdrama land, but instead something beneficial for both parties - Seo-young & Hyo-Jin Can adopt a baby, and Minsoo can hide being gay from his parents. The moral of the story hits home - BE WHO YOU ARE. The awkward scenes MADE this movie. I didn't really recognize the actors/actresses, but BOY OH BOY were they good. This movie was a hoot. Had me laughing until tears came out, and crying until nothing was left. Definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen - Plus, one of the best examples that melodrama & comedy CAN go hand in hand!

I knew what this drama had in store for me just by knowing the general plot line of it. I've been teetering on the edge of finishing this drama just because I knew it was going to be angst packed & heart breaking, but it was worth it all. The thing I loved most about this drama is that its portrayed in such a realistic way - living with Dementia is one of the most heart breaking, saddening things that can happen to a family. Watching it happen first hand just takes the cake. The acting? perfect. The story progression? flawless. The only thing that I can say is bad about the drama (& you can't even say 'bad' but more like 'realistic') is the reality of it all. Soo Ae is flawless & this is probably one of my favorites by her.

This movie. /THIS/ movie. If you've watched the first Gantz, then you know the general story line and you pretty much know what it's about. Usually sequels ruin my love for the first movie, but in this case, the second movie made the first movie completely irrelevant. (I was religiously in love with the first movie.) This one has a lot more depth to it and the stakes are so much higher in this movie, since they all aren't oblivious to what they're facing anymore. There's a lot of emotions thrown around in this movie, but it just makes it that much more memorable to me. This movie is easily my number one favorite movie.

Forget what you know about old manga's/anime's being made into movies. We all know that nothing is quite as good, but this movie breaks the status quo. This movie is quickly paced, an 'easy watch' so to say, has sort of a "dark humor" vibe to it, but is definitely brain food. Leaves you questioning most of the time, and when you think you've got it figured out... I'll leave it to you. Another Gantz sums the end up better for viewers, but leaves out some of the most crucial parts of the story line. I suggest you watch this version of Gantz, then just watch the last 11 minutes of Another Gantz. Besides, Anything with Kazunari Ninomiya is worth your while.

Hello there, past addiction for the past few months! This drama is ridiculously good, and ridiculously bad at the same time. How can that be? As much as I love our main character, I can't even tell you how many times I was hell bent on throwing objects at her via computer screen. At the same time, she's lovable, quirky and extremely clueless, which is how most heroine's are. Did I mention she kicks ass, like literally? There's a love triangle and I honestly can't tell you who I was really rooting for, but all in all, I was content with the ending. There's annoying secondary characters (like all dramas) but they sort of turn out to be lovable. LOVED IT. Must watch, for serious.

10 EARTH SHATTERING STARS!

Now, if you've EVER read a review I've written, You would know that Kim Soo Hyun can literally do no wrong when it comes to dramas. Jeon Ji Hyun is also another actress I really respect. With the two of them together, I already knew I was going to love this drama. (& I was right!)

The story is indefinitely original. Sure, there are the /typical/ melodrama aspects of it, but as for the story in it's entirety, this one takes the cake. The writing was on point, and the suspense was seriously killing by the end of each episode. I marathoned this in a total of what, 3 days? I just could. not. get. enough!
The 'love-triangle' was laughable, but enjoyable as well. The supporting cast was just as adorable. Yoo In Na makes a good baddie, and I was STILL rooting for her!

The soundtrack is, amazing to say the least. They did an excellent job selecting the songs and it really fit the mood the drama had going for it.

All in all, I'd watch this drama a million times if I could. I'm almost ready to go back and it watch it again, right now, but I'll hold back. Watch this drama. You will love it. Trust me!

The best drama I've seen since King of Baking. This drama has heart, and a lot of it. It hits home in a way that a lot of drama's can't even try to. It's about friendships being tested by things that are inevitably going to happen in any friendship - but on a whole different level. Almost instantly do you make room in your heart for the cast - - their all so different yet there's one thing that brings them close together: Their need to belong. Their need to succeed. Their need to just find out who they want to be, while they all seek their common goal: playing music for fun, with each other - forever. It's all about finding yourself and not giving up - your goals or your friendship - to get to that one place that you all feel is 'where you belong'.
The cast was absolutely beautiful. The characters were all portrayed well and the best thing was it wasn't just believable, but it actually felt real. I've laughed with these characters, cried with these characters, and even got pissed with these characters. It's an instant connection - Honestly I haven't met/talked to ONE person who isn't head over heels in love with this drama. What the actual heck are you doing with your life if you haven't watched this drama yet?

I liked everything about this movie - It was gave us a refreshing storyline with a little bit of everything thrown into it, and did it in a timely manner. It was such a sweet story. There were some heart wrenching parts but the good out weighed the bad. It's perfectly paced and for ONCE I didn't feel that anything was rushed. The main female is an excellent actress, and I literally had to Google if she was blind in real life or not; She's really convincing. The couple, They're too cute for words. It was an awesome story packed full of heart, that left me satisfied with everything until the very end.

Drama, you have made a mess of my life for the past week. You've made a Yoo In Na & Ji Hyun Woo fan out of me. The story was awesome. Although the time-skipping part has became cliche' over the first half of 2012, you're the first drama to pull it off amazingly. I was captivated from start to finish, the plot was pulling my heart in every way possible and I loved every second of it. It's the type of drama that makes you care & worry endlessly for the sake of the characters. The chemistry between the cast was outstanding. (Hell, Yoo In Na & Ji Hyun Woo had so much chemistry, they're dating now!) I guess the director knew what he was doing casting them as the lead. They're all so adorable & you can't help but even love the baddies. The music was extremely awesome as well. One of the first drama OSTs I actually sat through and listened to, especially if you know Korean/Look up the translation to the songs, they're all so meaningful and tie in perfectly with the drama itself. I'd watch this drama over a million times if I could, there wasn't one part that didn't have my full attention. One of the best I've seen this year, and now one of my newly favorites.

We all know the all too popular phrase, "The book is so much better than the movie!" but I'd have to say in the case of this, the movie & comic sort of go hand in hand.There are differences between the two but the main storyline stays the same, and it wasn't unbearable to watch - it was actually fun! I enjoyed this movie from start to finish, which usually doesn't happen for Manga turned Movie for me. The actors/actresses did a great job at conveying their characters and they were dead on choosing who they did for the roles. I loved this movie - It gives a wonderful 'life' lesson about chasing your dreams while still being realistic.
