Loved It
This drama was such a fun watch, didn't have much expectations started to watch for Min Young as I had loved her character and acting in the drama "her private life". Some of the dialogues were very funny...this is my first Park Seo Joon drama and he absolutely nailed the character so did Park Min Young...I liked the story, as it had no unnecessary drama's, fights and misunderstandings, matters and issues got resolved swiftly ...it was kind of real...how a couple in love would try & resolve issues... I liked the fact that story revolved around the main two leads (no second leads), although a brother was introduced his role was kind of rushed, which I guess was required for the plot. There were some sweet & hot kissing scenes, the main couple had lot of chemistry - of course it had a happy ending! Would love to see them together in another drama.Was this review helpful to you?

One of the Best K- Drama's
I thoroughly enjoyed this drama - I think its one of the best K drama's I have watched.. The main cast (Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye, Kim Woo Bin) all did a brilliant job...although its a Cinderalla type (rich boy-poor girl story) I loved the story except for the ending which was kinda rushed, and some characters was not developed. Don't get me wrong it had a happy ending for the Male & Female Lead...but wouldnt have been bad if the wedding was shown.. there were some very fun, romantic scenes & comedic scenes.Was this review helpful to you?

Beautiful drama - Love Triumphs- Worth the Watch
I have not watched the prequel of this drama, so had no idea of the back story - OMG I absolutely loved this drama- story, acting etc. Prof. Zhou Sheng Chen (Allen Ren) absolutely nailed the character - let me gush about him for a sec.... he needs to be given an award for this role...super intelligent, brilliant, sweet, nerdy and clueless about romance character he played to the Tee. Its not only Shi Yi who will fall in love with him/character, I think most girls would.Towards the end, he turned out to be really romantic, as Shi Yi said in the last episode "you are quite romantic", & you are one who "acts & doesn't talk" unlike most people who talks too much without the act. Bai Lu as Shi Yi did a fabulous job too. I loved the fact that she was established in her own career, who is not afraid to take leave, have babies - I think subtly they are trying to show taking maternity leave/getting married is all part of life's journey - it should NOT be negatively inferred in any job sector. I liked Shi Yi's best friend/house mate, every girl should have a bestie like that (reference here the first couple of episodes, where she takes every opportunity to find a way for Shen Yi to meet the Prof. hehe).
The drama references to the back story (S1), in the right amount so that one who hasn't seen S1 will not be lost...the ending is happy & sweet, but I would have loved to see the last couple of minutes of the episodes with their kids -then it will be like a full circle, they loved each other for centuries, so such an ending would have been epic.
There some emotional scenes towards the end when Shi Yi falls in a coma, how her parents doesn't let Sheng Chen see her - he doesn't give up , stays outside the hospital room for days & finally the parents too acknowledge his genuine love for Shi Yi... The first words she spoke after she woke up from the coma was "Zhou Sheng Chen" for her in all her lifetimes there is just no other - only him... so so cute. During this time (whilst she was in the coma), apart from reading her diary & understanding the love she has for him, the sweet romantic things our Professor did ( to show her when she wakes up from Coma) was just fabulously sweet.
Would recommend it to anyone who loves and believes in 'forever and ever' kind of love.

I liked the story - F4 (Four super intelligent, super handsome and rich exclusive group at Uni), in comes the middle class innocent girl Jan Di. There was so much angst between the lead pair (Jan di & Joon Pyo), its obvious that Joon Pyo was kinda obsessed with Jan Di, to extent of becoming mean, although he was super sweet too..... initially Jan Di had absolutely no feelings for Joon Pyo...throughout the series one would wonder whether who she will end up with Joon Pyo or Ji Hoo…. there were instances I wished that Jan Di would end up with Ji Hoo. He was one of the best ever K drama characters, calm, soft spoken.....standing by and supporting Jan Di all through the relationship hardships she faced....it was so obvious that he loved Jan Di deeply, & he let her go for Joon Pyo..Honestly one cannot help but fall in love with Ji Hoo .....I wished the other leads stories were more well developed. The ending again was rushed - like many other K drama's towards the end they have to find a way to separate the lead pair...in this case it is to pursue a career (which is great) - it was a happy ending, but would have been perfect if a wedding and some babies were shown between the Jan Di & Joon Pyo (after all the angst).
