The movie is heavy, serious, not tear jerker but you'll feel down, you can feel the sadness, regrets, lost and pain the characters are portraying in the verge of divorcing. IF you dont pay too much attention and do not feel what it is, you wont appreciate the movie. If you just got out of breakup, then don't watch it because you may relate into it and you might cry (hehe).
In my opinion, they perfectly portrayed it, no matter how the male lead wants to go back things as they were (he decided to move his office in the basement of the house so he can be with her since he's been working all day till night---car scene) things won't be the same. It is true that some, or mostly women, when they get tired, fed up and already find somebody new (in this case, she cheated on him, and he admitted that he is also to blame, he neglected his wife), it's too late to mend a broken relationship, and it is very seldom that a woman will change her mind and heart (to be back in their marriage again), and the guy is correct, "Getting mad won't change anything.".. You can feel the sadness, the regrets, the wishes but things in reality are not that easy. And I think this movie have best showed that not all relationship that is undergoing "rocky road" will have happy ending.
The cinematography is great, it was able to portray the dark and down emotions, the large and beautiful house became dark, with some roof problems (rain is pouring to some spot)...Personally, I like the movie, some may not appreciate it, but I like it, I felt it.

This is not about just numbers, it is about how a meek and intelligent person can do crazy stuff and sacrifice everything, do everything for someone he loves. As the Proverbs say, heart is the most deceitful of all!
Now you can watch how a genius can plot in hiding a murder, irony of all, his best buddy is a detective! this is very exciting movie, guys, this is so thrilling! dont worry this is not bloody violent movie, it focuses more on emotions and intelligence. It is somewhat you are doing your own Holmes investigation, thinking, what is actually happened!
I only get the picture at the end! and it gives me goosebumps and at the same time I cried!
Now watch it and see what i mean! rewatch? YES!!!!

The flow of the story is so perfect that you won't notice it's almost the end! I really enjoyed watching it even I am alone. My mom was staring me with weird expressions because I was like crazy laughing by all by myself.
I fall in love when Hee Chul sang in English! OMG! he really has a nice voice, so you guys out there, watch it out!!
I freakin' laughing how they mistreat Hee chul because of Young Jun!
The love chemistry between them is so natural and they really match!
Guys who love romantic comedy must watch this! It also show lessons in life so it's not wasting your time!
Anyway, it's a two thumbs up and must watch movie! I will again watch this and laugh by myself again!

Yes it is hilarious but at the end it is moving, how the two realize each others feelings, how the husband realize why his wife is like that and all. You will learn something about this movie. It is absurd that the husband did it, but you may understand why he is desperate to divorce her, well still he is a nice man.
If you like to have a light mood and want to laughed your ass, then watch this movie and get touch at the end!

The pacing is fast and gives off that thrilling and suspense feeling no break. I love the music used especially the ending part, very soothing and classic.
Fan Bingbing, with her almond eyes and soft feature, as a ghost, all the more that you will feel her loneliness and longing to her boyfriend. Rene Liu is good in her acting and her facial expressions always makes me nervous and jumpy. Somewhat she is a doppelganger of Korean actress Hyun Young (The Perfect Couple). Leon Lai, didn't give much of being a wall flower, and what made me have the attention is for the two ladies eager aiming for his love.
After watching it, instead of being flustered with horror, the twist gives the climax color and something to ponder on while on my bed, not feeling scared.

This movie is awesome and I love this much! This silent movie is so nerve wrecking (in good way) and geesh, it leaves a great impact to me! I thank MDL's Winnie19 for featuring this to her profile BG and recommending this, just wow!
All the setting, the body language, the story and those unnerving stealthily actions/scene of the male lead, it's so beyond!
I love it and highly reco guys!

It is mixed with hilarious scene, a little romance, friendship, overcoming fear and most of all, uniting because of one purpose. It gives lessons in life and sportsmanship.
In every scene going to the end part, it was so intensed that I am always on my toes! it's like watching a favorite basketball or football game where the two teams competing each other was just one point difference!
I learned a few things in this movie about the situation and laws between North and South Korea and I really appreciate it.
I like the pacing, the music, the actors were really good at their characters, there's no dull moments. I cried at the last scene especially when they are showing the "true" pictures of those "real" athletes.
I highly recommend this movie even to those no sports movie fan like me.

Drama Special Season 2: Hwapyeong Princess's Weight Loss

I learned in this movie that, no one is a winner in getting revenge and so it's true about "If you plan to have a revenge, make two graves." And forgiveness is still the best thing to do.
I like this movie, it is very entertaining, especially the "rap song", those wacky acting of the female lead. I cried too at the climax of the movie where the princess confronted her estranged husband.
All in all, you can learn something from this. Some may not approve on the ending but, in real life, some are just forgiving and loving their someone significant that way.

I find it amusing while watching this movie. It is no difference, no matter what gender you are, when competition is tight, everything is possible. The story is unique and I am quite fascinated seeing the fashionable Edo's trend in wearing their kimonos, specially the men with their Furisode and Sokutai, they are like Barbie doll types. It feels like while watching this, you have gone back from the old days, seeing them sitting in tatami mats floored room in Nihon Jutaku (Japanese styled houses). It is refreshing to see the old custom, culture of Japan, especially for western people watching the movie. Though it will only take less than 6 hours (by plane) going in Japan since it is a neighbor country (north part of Philippines), still this is not an everyday (and modern) setting, thus, it is fascinating to watch.
Though I am not anymore shock knowing the "man to man" relationship of Japan men, not because of the modern times, but it's been part of Japan culture if you read some of their history. I really love the cinematography, the story, the characters and the actors. They did a great job.

There might be similarity like the lead character is also a popular artist, but he is the one who is after with the Full House as he is the heir of it. The leading lady is now a writer like the first one, she is a Hapkido master with designing clothes talents and she is smart!
Well then, there's always love triangle, but this one focuses more on friendship, hardship and perseverance of a dreamer reaching his goal, showing the life of artist off camera and how the works of showbiz life. It also showcase the talents of Korean singer group, the importance of working together, the respect for elders and so on. It is not fully drama so you can enjoy the hilarious plot.
Every episode is getting better and better and more intriguing, that's why the viewers, like me, won't be able to stop watching it until dawn!
The romance is not exaggerated like most of the dramas I've seen, they act naturally and not so melodramatic (which is very annoying for some non-Asians), which I think is best part of the drama. The flow of the story was very well done by keeping it's viewers entertained and have that feeling of asking for more.
Well, there are also eye-candy in this drama, where the two leading man, shown their half naked body, which is, yeah, for the girls to scream hahaha, which I think is very strategically planned. I am also laughing out loud with Jang Man's best friend for 15 years, she really is very good on her acting, how she was able to act "fan girling" and loyalty stalking fans. She is my favorite here, no offense on the lead actors.
well, as for those who have Second Lead Syndrome (just like me), it's surprising that I didn't rooted for Kang Hwi. He did pretty well in here and he is also good looking. The reason my Second-Lead Syndrome does not worked this time, it's because the production did a job well done by choosing the second lead, because, they were able to portray the characted well that the viewers were not confused to who they will vote for Jang Man Ok;s happy-ending-man. They are able to perfectly convey that Jang Man Ok and Tae Ik are the pair, which is good so that you won't feel pity on the second lead.
Any how, I recommend this to all viewers to watch and rewatch. Have fun viewing!!!

It is my first time to watch a movie that both main leads are switch in gender, yes, it is gender bender movie with good plot.
The leads are beautiful, yep, even the male lead is "pretty", the reason why he is always mistaken for a "girl". It is not a surprise seeing a man fangirling over a man, or girls over a girl, it is a natural trend (I think that's a unique taste among Asian), and it is not weird. Because myself, I am also fangirling over a girl but I am a 100% straight, check out Touya Hibiki and you'll know what I mean.
The story is refreshing, romantic, funny and it has charms. It also show one or two character of Asian, being jealous and possesive (see how the admirer confronted Mizuki scene and Akira's admirers over Kiss issue).
In this movie, they also showed the modern fashions of Japanese people, those lolita trends, punk, pop culture and so on.
Overall, it is an entertaining movie.

I love this kind of exchange of dialogues between the protagonist and antagonist, especially in detective movies, it is very manly and have some depths to it. Not all can pull off such impact, with a little bit drama but more combat.
Aside from comedy romantic genres, I love watching detective, history, culture eye candy, and this movie give it all!
Cha Seung Won did a great job as detective here as a serious film. and I was only able to get the whole picture almost at the end part, well the usual Asian movie, revealing the whole thing almost at the end. It is very interesting story and they made a good plot, pacing, in the movie. Only that, it is literally raining blood!
It has mixed of superstitious beliefs and so you can appreciate the culture of Korea more.
I like it!

I love this movie because it's full of fun and the chasing game at the start, the kissing scene were so cute, I really love when Song (lead male) blushes haha. Jung is full of energy and I really love her acting here.
Song is really good in here as bad boy yet have a kind heart, I really like it when he is showing his protectiveness. there are also fight scenes as that's a high school life, those embarassing moments, crazy stuff you do, you can relate to it.
Over all, I really had fun watching it!

It is ver romantic, emotional and you can feel the grief after the lost of someone you love. The special effects is good, the fighting scene and the thrill when uncovering the reason of death.
The wedding ceremony is so surreal but romantic indeed.
Well, I feel both happy and sad at the end. It is fantasy but it gives hopes and idea of eternal love. Both actors were good and I like Song Seun Hun (male lead) speaking Nihonggo.
Overall, I like the movie.

I was surprised listening to the songs used in the movie, especially at romantic scenes, it is American songs. It is funny watching that the male lead Jo Han Sun's business is lingerie, he is so manly, how awkward is that?
I laughed so hard in every scenes, it is so funny. I love it.
The movie from other site has a different name, it is also called "Sweet Lies", when I browse it there to check mirror availability.
