A shot of realism family life
It is a very well written drama about family. Each character has a story and each family has individual story of what happens in an every day life. Two family become cross with each others path and as the path cross they fight and also help each other. The drama tell you about a love of parents and decisions that parents make that can cause harm to their children and their family. The children that get spoil and need to grow up and the children that get verbal abuse or the obsession that a parent has with their child that won't let then grow and leave the nest. The story is very well written for every character and you can relate to these characters. The actors performance is the best and the chemistry that is between is very good. Each day I could not wait to see what happen next and I felt like I was part of the family and everything they were going thru. A very realist view of family. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I have.Was this review helpful to you?
It Stink
I was hoping to watch a drama about strong women that have control of their life, but this drama makes us look like women can be strong but we dwindle down to crap when a man comes into our lives. The only real strong women of all 3, was the talk radio host. Who weaken herself for a younger man who was the only smart person and supported her. The main female lead I wonder if she ever grew up, and she did not seem like she learn anything about relationship after her ex-boyfriend broke up with her. I do have to tell the writer that women at 30 speak their mind and I hated all that guessing about her first love and the phone number of another female. She was so afraid to ask him about the situation or find out how he really felt. Did she not learn from her last relationship to speak up so she would not get hurt. Those scenes I kept wondering am I watching a drama about teens or about adult women who have been out in the real world with experience. Lee Seung Yoo the male lead also made me upset because if he really love her he should have explain to her as soon as he knew she saw the phone number and why did the writer had to put in an obsess ex-girlfriend. You make us look like we all go crazy when we brake up and have to force the boy into love and threaten the new girlfriend. The girl who own the bar I did not understand her at all. She was strong owning her business but she had more of a relationship with the young man who was her part timer then her friend. I was really disappointed with all the characters and this story. I believe the actors try to do a good performance but the story stink.Was this review helpful to you?
My Heart Broke
At the beginning I started to follow the young girl as she reads the diary of her mother. I started to enjoy the story as it went a long. The 2 young leading ladies, I love they were young but smart and competitive. One is doing it for her family and one is doing it for herself. As the male leads get added to these girls life the story becomes more complex and interesting. The actors performance was great and you really could feel the story as the young girl reads from her mother diary in every episode. But then the end happens. You are left hanging (what happen in the present time !, their future !, now !) If they were going to tells us the story of these characters when they where young why not keep the whole thing as they were young in the past until they got to 25/21. Why did they keep bringing us to the present time. They only showed us a 2 characters of how they are now and talk about some of the characters but gave us no glimpse of what happen to them now and then nothing. We are kept with just the memory of the past but not the present. We only know about the FL and her mother but not everyone else. I kept wanting to know did the present FL and ML ever meet again as they are older. What happen with the other FL, did she get married. My heart broke. DISAPPOINTMENT.Was this review helpful to you?
Funny and Cute with a Mystery
I enjoy this drama. It was cute, funny and the chemistry between the actors was great. The dramatic scenes kept you worry and all the twist and turns kept you wondering but then the lead characters would come a long and put a smile on your face and you would have to say "They are so cute". I enjoy the story line with all the mystery. I also enjoy that the lead male character was the not so smart naïve character instead of the female lead character. She was smart and seem naïve but you could not pull a blanket over her eyes and she was tough. The actors performance was great and very good direction until the end. I hate to wait until the last 10 minutes of the last episode to give us a happy ending and I was confuse with the ending so I watched the last episode twice to make sure I understood the ending.Was this review helpful to you?
Great Story
The story in this drama is very good. It starts you of differently and takes you through the life of these young people. The lead female character is great and I love her strength and determination. The lead male character is also great with his honest and sincere way of treating people. Both these characters convince me in the story line. I enjoy the friends they meet and form bond. The story takes us thru the college years and then to adulthood and the private sector. I enjoy following all the characters and the story as simple but very good and sincere. A story you could believe in. The romance between the main leading character was cute and great. A wonderful ending. The actors performance was great.Was this review helpful to you?
I Like It
I really enjoy this drama. The lead actors gave there performance total sincerity and made the drama believable. The lead female and male characters are wonderful and keep you entertain thru out the drama. it is a short drama but one of the best, I have seen with a great story that has mystery, suspense and great crime scenes. The lead female character is strong and with no nonsense kind of a girl. She is the head of her family and protects them very well. Her romance is cute and funny which has a twist and it keeps you on your toes. Very good drama and it is short. Love It.Was this review helpful to you?
Disappointing
Very disappointed. It started very interesting but slowly went down the drain. I liked the story idea but it was slow and the episode seem like the same thing over and over again. The lead male character was obsess with his first love who died 1000 years ago and he was still waiting for her. He had live 1000 years, had a magical umbrella but could not help the leading female character and was always fool by the evil spirits. The story kept going back in the past and then to the future but it was the same scenes all over. The lead female character is cute, strong and naïve but plays stupid and innocents even after having so many encounter with the evil spirits. I have to say that I fast forward in some episode because I found it boring and could not wait until the end. I believe that the actors did their best in their performance but the writer and the director let them down.Was this review helpful to you?

Not Worth It
This could have been a good drama but the acting was terrible. I enjoy a good fantasy but this was not it. Yes it was short but it could have been better. The female is the only character i like because she is strong and know what she wants. But to put her with 4 young men who act so foolish and ridicules' was a bad Ides. I could understand that you re saying that this guys are naïve but if they been on land they should know what to expect. Naïve does not mean stupid and scare of everything. Then you have the bad guys who can't act and I love how easy they kidnap and act threatening but then they do not know how to do anything else. The romance here is poor and fake. There was nothing in this drama that gave it sincerity to the story.Was this review helpful to you?
Great Drama To Watch
I was captivated by this drama. Some of the episodes really hit home. I love the explanation of the stress and anxiety that some feel about themselves that makes them want to end their life. I totally understand. Each episode brought a new story with great new characters and actors. The belief that suicide is a sin, to me is what I have been taught. Even dough I have been there were you do not think of what happen at the afterlife, I now think differently because there is someone I want to see when I get there. So even when my mind goes their I will not do it because of that someone I want to meet. I love every character in this drama and how the story were brought together. The actors performance made the story more realistic. Great drama to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute and Silly, makes You Giggle !!!!!!!
It is cute short drama. I like the way the romance develops. The FL is wonderful and strong with her own mind and point of view but also has her innocence and charisma. The chemistry between the FL and the ML is great. The other characters add more to the story especially the second couple. As I hate obsessive characters especially female, I like how the writer never let the obsessive girl take control of any of the situations. The actors performance was very good and I liked the story. It is cute and silly which give you a little giggle.Was this review helpful to you?
To Much A Cliché
I found this drama to much of a cliché. The FL wanted to be strong and brave but was only that way to the ML. Everyone else she would let them push her around and had to be their savior. The chemistry was not there for the FL and The ML . The ML was stiff and seem cold all the time and FL look scare of him all the time or play shy. The story was to long and the same Rich over the Poor. Then the end at the last 5 minute it is a happy ending were everyone is forgiven. To many characters over acting or scenes with overacting direction. Many scene seem like a broken record with the same lines and situation. It became boring and had to fast forward. The actors could had been doing their best but the direction and story stink.Was this review helpful to you?
If You Love To Suffer Watch This.
This story if for does people who enjoy suffering. There are 6 characters with mental problems. The lead female is obsess and love to suffer because you don't keep loving a guy who mentally abuses you so much. He degrades you and then plays with your mind. The lead male is an arrogant, conceited, narcissistic jerk who can not show feeling because his parents scar him. Bullshit, just because your parents divorce and then still stay friends you don't treat a women that way. The older best friend has pride issues and is an emotional abuser herself. The was she treats the suppose to man that she loves. Throw him to the curve and then real him back. The poor guy loves her so much but does not know what to do because how aggressive she is and blames him for everything. The other friend is rich and has everything everyone wants except love. She does not want to be like her mom who controls everyone but she is. The guy that she finally gets is an old friend who has always liked her but never felt worthy of her. She becomes controlling and verbal abusive. How they try to tells us in the last episode that these 3 couples become a happy ending, lets us know how little the writer knows about couples and people. If you like to suffer enjoy this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Waist Of Time
A drama that can waist your time. The first 16 episodes had so much push and pull game that it makes you sick and board. The leads don't know whether they are coming or going. This couple has so many enemies you wonder how they got together in the first place. It has everything you can hate about a drama. The obsess girl that is told so many times he don't love her, don't care for her, She was even told I hate you but she is still obsess. Mental problems. A secret illness to the lead male character that only affects him toward the last episodes on life or death. let us also not forget the 6 year old that ran around the city wanting to meet his dad all by himself in a city he just move into. I do not know if I would have kept his baby sitter for how many time this boy went off into the city and she never notice. Then in the last 10 minutes of the last episode a happy ending. What a joke. The over acting and bad direction is terrible. The only thing I liked of this drama was the Idea or the theme. I thought it would have been different for a married women to come back to win back her marriage.Was this review helpful to you?
"She Was Pretty" & "Pretty Li Hui Zhen" Both a Disappointment
I wanted to see if they improve the drama "She Was Pretty" but I have to say they did little improvement. I thought that in "She Was Pretty" the first 11 episode were a waste and annoying. This drama the first 20 episode were annoying and episode 29-31 was more silly foolishness of push and Pull games. This drama did not need to be 40 episodes. Li Hui Zhen (Dilraba Dilmurat) character was terrible. can they have made her more pitiful, stupid, and annoying. Her freckles seem fake, every once in awhile you can see them fading. Her facial expression were foolish and goofy looking. I Know Dilraba Dilmurat is a good actress I have seen her in other dramas. Baiha Yu (Peter Sheng) character seem so cold, harsh, and with no chemistry with neither of the lead female actress. Lin Yimu (Vin Zhang) character had great chemistry with Li Hui Zhen but it seem more friendship then romantic. I did not really believe he was in love with her. He is also a very good actor. I was hopping they change some of the story line but words might have change but still the same. I think the writer could have done better and the director could have used better direction. I found It disappointing and I skip so much because it was getting annoying. The ending was just as expected no real thrills or changes from the Korean version.Was this review helpful to you?
A Nice Surprise
I love the story. A very romantic, cute, and more realistic view of a relationship. I liked all the characters but why did they have to make the lead female so dumb. I could handle immature, naïve and innocent but I felt like she was to dumb. I could see why the lead male character like her innocent and naïve ways and even her immaturity but it seem that unless he explain to her and she understood she became to much of an airhead. In some scene you could tell a light bulb would go on and she would become reckless and she would think of some kind of resolution. I like all the characters around her because even if they were jealous they still supported her. The relationship was very good especially all the test that were giving to the couple by the other characters and it seem more of a real relationship. The actors performance was very good and made this drama very pleasant to watch. Even do I don't agreed with the portrayal of the lead female character I would definite will watch it again.Was this review helpful to you?
