Leprechaun Land :)
I thought the story was really well set, even though it was done in a short time, you could really get immersed. At one point I nearly couldn't held back my tears, that's how good I thought it was. I wouldn't say the acting was particularly good, more that the story was really catching.
There are actually a lot of issues that come up in it, not just being on sidedly in love with a straight guy. These issues are relevant everywhere in the world and this drama really reflected ion it.
I thought one major aspect which really made this drama stand out was the friendship!! I don't really want to give away anything but seriously, it was precious!
If you want a nice quick watch, this is the drama for you!

You can guess what happens numerous times in this dramas, angry ahjummas fighting with angry ahjummas.
I thought it was a pretty decent drama (i have seen tons of family dramas, ones that are even longer than this so for me this wasn't new... if you don't believe me check my list ^^).
So as usual this drama has also hatred and revenge and focuses a lot on it, so there are many times when the story is beating around the bush. *bingeul bingeul*
The love lines in the story were pretty cute so that gives some extra points to watch it.
The script writers could have easily given extra time towards the ending because the ending felt way too rushed. I would have preferred if there was more at the end rather than in the beginning.
Also if you watch this drama be prepared that everyone is connected one way or another, the amount of coincidences in this drama is quite fascinating as well!
Also there is many character developments so numerous characters will have different personalities by the end.
I really liked the cast, I definitely decided to watch it as Jung Yoo Mi and Ahn Nae Sang was in it. I didn't really like Jung Gyu Woon before watching this but my opinion completely changed of him.
I would like to award yoo in young's character with a honorable mention because her character really is the one that stands out at one point due to her realistic thoughts (of course at the beginning she isn't like that, she has quite a character development).
Overall i would say this drama is one of the bearable family dramas because it does have a good plot and the casts is also good, you don't really have that much annoying characters that other family dramas do and the end is cute. You have to bear with the first few episodes but then it gets better.

there were moments that i enjoyed but there were also moments which i felt was lacking (yes boring boring), i felt that the movie did not bring out the true potential of the plot as the ending was just not fully developed and there were confusion as well at some parts, in addition parts of it was unnecessary
one particular aspect that i wished the directors did differently would be seriously the background music, totally weird and unbalanced.. argh
i liked the way that the mystery started out, it actually made me quite interested and thus i watched till the end
the actors were well selected in my opinion, each had a mysterious side, well only Ayase Haruka was typical to her characters she plays normally (no mystery really and kinda like her character in Hotaru no hikari ^^)
If you liked Da Vinci code, you might enjoy this ones as well though it's not as dynamic and attractive in a way as Da Vinci was

Well my main problem was the acting... There was no chemistry between the actors, it felt like someone just picked up the script and was rehearsing it without any emotion or whatsoever.... It felt lacking
Also the plot had good potential but it was badly carried out... They could have made it more action like with comedy attached to it (maybe like Codename:Jackal or even Scandal Makers) but it really felt lacking... no climax or anything spontaneous
Though I liked the cinematography, the type of camera that they used was good.
I really wouldn't recommend it for any weekend movie nights... or just leave it until you really don't have anything else to watch.

Now, I know 41 episode might scare you away, HOWEVER, it was really well formulated and the scriptwriters did a great job at making each episodes exciting and entertaining. I wasn't bored at all during it (which sometimes did happen with others dramas this long). Most of the scenes were relevant to development of the story, and keeps you at the edge of your seat.
What I really liked about this drama was the whole development of each character, how they grew throughout the story and the changes that they experienced. The interaction between characters was also great to see!
I have to give kuddos to the production team, LOVED the sets and all the different outfits! Really felt like i just jumped back in time into the republican area.
I definitely recommend this drama! It is really entertaining and has a great plot, not to mention all the great actors in it! Give it a try, you won't regret it!

it reflects the deep relationships that owners can have with their pets; that animals are not just for show but can replace a part that is missing from our lives
the movie makes a contrast between how owners see their pet and how non-owners think about animal... it was interesting to see how the outside word reacted towards the lost animals and the pets in general
as a pet owner myself i could sincerely relate to the stories and could feel the meaning in! it was very well represented through these short movies
the movie is separated into different parts that deals with family bonds, cooping with a loss, poverty and making a new path in life
the characters really fit the stories and the actors did a great job in bringing the story alive
i really recommend to watch this drama... heartwarming... joy that can be found through pets in every day life x)

so since it is still ongoing there isn't much to say yet but i really like the way it started out already... the plot is set as a good start and you start to like the characters quite quickly as are well portrayed and quite likable as well
i really got hooked on this drama from the start as the plot is well developed and you just want to know what is going to happen to the family
there are some difficulties that each character need to overcome which adds to the richness of plot
if you like family dramas then you should start watching it because it really shows family spirit, helping others, people coming together from different background, understanding, etc.

Apart from the plot, I thought that the actors/actresses did a pretty good job with portraying the characters. I also think that some of these characters were really the only wants that made me watch the whole drama. In addition, some of the coupling was quite good/cute (don't wanna spoil which one^^)

Personally I wouldn't have minded 10 more episodes to really sort out the mess and explain each mystery. I wanted to give the drama much much higher rating due to the first part, but unfortunately my feelings were torn to two sides due to the last episodes.
Apart from the plot line, I liked the acting. I know at first it might seem silly and immature but I think that's the gem of this drama. The music was catchy as well.
So really all in all, not really worthwhile watching unless you are ready for a disappointing wrap up of the drama.

from the title I thought this movie is going to be about a crime or something really serious but i was wrong, it is a movie filled with parody, fighting, thugs, brohterhood, lies and dirty jokes(well you know the older movies always include something related to sex and such)
so going back to the previous point it is a movie made in 2004 so it is a bit different than nowadays ones XD
I thought the plot was quite simple... yet the funny and hilarious scenes made it quite enjoyable
the movie starts out slow, the first moments are serious and you would think that the movie is going to be as well but no... first impression can be wrong XP
the cast was great, i really didn't have any problem with either of the characters or the actors... everyone fitted their roles well and the characters were well developed :)
