happiness and trials

This episode broke my heart. I think that all the people that talk about how Kim Sun Ah is too stiff will be silent now. Sun Ah plays Ji An that way because Ji An isn't emotional. She keeps things bottled up. That is why Tae Kang is so good for her. He brings out her emotional side.

She is also good for him, because she makes him stop to think things through.

I hope she has figured out a way to get what she wants and kepp Tae Kang's dreams alive.

I find it interesting that Tae Kang went to Eun Sung to help take care of Ji An when/if he goes to the US.

An Intern's Beginning

HJE's character is just a tad annoying because she is one of those girls who is naive and obsessed with her obvious douchey BF.



This episode shows the beginnings of being an intern. Nothing really I havent seen before in this episode but well written.



The acting by the big players is solid as expected. This episode also introduced some familiar supporting actors=)

phone date!!!

For me this episode was all about Shu and the phone date. Sure Mio an dRen continue to be cute and bond, but that's not really different from the first two episodes is it?



the phone date is one of my favorite parts of the original and i must admit that i was a little dsiapointed that it was so short here. Despite not having enough screen time to fully realize the character, the actor does a good job of conveying Shu's thoughts and feelings for Mio with his looks and body language. he looked much better in his disguise than he previously did.



in the original much of the audience cheered for ShinWoo and you felt his pain, hoped against hope that he would get the girl and wanted to punch mi nam in the face b/c she kept picking that insufferable jerk! in this incarnation i feel Shu is the one intruding where is is not needed. when ever he looks at Ren and Mio together you dont get the feeling of "underdog" you get the feeling of "leave them alone!"



this shift for me is not better or worse in terms of story, but it is definately a good thing for the remake b/c, as i mentioned in the Ep 1. review it is these little differences that will keep fans of the franchise from feeling like they are watching "you're beautiful" dubbed in japanese and therefore tuning out.

Aleluya, a kick ass female lead!!!

I loved this first episode! I love that in this drama the female lead is the one with temperament and the money. I believe one kdramas' major setbacks is that the female lead are always the same.

I think I'll like this drama a lot :)

Not sure...

... what to think about this. The first episode was weird and unclear. But I found it funny :)



The main actress is really beautiful, but she's not happy with it. She actually has a really sad life and no futur. That's why I liked her and I wanna see what will happen to her. I also liked the main actor. He was funny and cute. And the thing that he'll pretend to be gay - just love it (hopefully he will do it well). The school kid wasn't realistic. She was okay, but i thought she was about 20 - not 15. And the granny was cute and funny! I think I like her the most :D



I still don't understand what's the main plot. Is this a drama about their everyday life or will there be a lot of romance scenes or is this just good comedy? Well, we'll se about that :) and that's probably the reason why I'll keep wathing this.

Really exciting and tearjerking

Episode 2, in my opinion, continues the growth of this show. I think there will always be people who will dislike remakes, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this.



Everyone from Eikichi to Fuyutsuki to all of the students are playing their parts well. The ending of this episode really got to me. I actually cried when Katsuragi and her father reunited.



I can't wait for episode 3~!

Naniwa Shonen Tanteidan Episode 2

I'm starting to think that sensei is really cute, I like her when she's happy and really she does have a nice legs ;D

Teppei was so cute when he's smiling because of sensei. Does his co-inspector and the little boys xD

Boys are really cute when they fall in love :))



oK, mrs. ahm.. the woman was a fangirl right. It was cute, but I don't like being obsessed like that.

The ending was really cute, I mean between her and her husband :)

I'm happy for them~



Can't wait for the next episode because sensei will be engage to another man~ I wonder what will inspector teppei do :))

Greys Anatomy 2.0?

Most medical dramas I've seen started off without a bang and was an introduction of how the interns journey to get to the hospital they want to intern for. However, this episode was just intense and exciting with stuff already going on medical wise. You got a major car pile up, explosions, and people dying everywhere! We do see why the main male character becomes in intern at the Hospital. Lee Sun Kyun really hit it out of the park with his serious scenes. Oh and there's chemistry btwn him and Hwang Jung Eum so I'm interested in thier romance as well=)If it keeps going this way, Golden Time might be the best medical drama ever!

Naniwa Shonen Tanteidan Episode 1

I will prankly say that I don't like it when sensei gets angry because I think it was hard for her to get angry or should I say that it doesn't suit her. It's better if she's calm and kind. But I guess that bad side of her add something to make the story not that plain.

The kids are good at acting. I salute them. Especially the little boy Fukishiyama ? since he's driving at such young age D:

About the inspectors, the two of them, well they don't give such good relationship. But teppei, hahah, he's trying to interview too good thing that he can sometime manage to ask the witness and suspects. And oh, he always take that kind of role, that made him more adorable. And like in real life, he's a crybaby with a soft heart :)

I'll rate it good for now

Shunji, Shunji, Shunji...

This episode took some serious turns.

The explosion happened , that was a good thing.

Kang To have the count and the countess by his side now, having the countess by his side was a great thing.

The most amazing turn is that Kimura Taro got discharged, that was a happy moment indeed yet even when he was discharged, he kept filling Shunji's head with suspicions about Kang To.

Shunji's suspicions kept getting deeper and deeper.

I became really bothered by Shunji's Character now, especially after he was torturing Leader Jo with cold blood, he's such a bastard !

Kang To keep putting himself in the danger line and at the end of the episode, he just revealed that he's Boon Yi's young master, that was a very stupid move, now Shunji knows and he will connect the events only to find out that Kang To is Gaksital !

Things are going to be dangerous next episode T_T



Now moving to episode 15...

OH-MY-GOD. O_O

I'm so gonna write this because I can't stop thinking about how AWESOME this was... The best episode so far.



Best Part: The ending left me in a daze, I know I'm getting to the ending after jumping everything. But. Yo. Shunji's going to kill Lee Tang Ko for sure.. I never wanted Shunji to be the first to figure it out. >.<

Even though I think the word's weren't clear, he could convince him. But the suspicion is too high.



I hope Shunji dies... Sorry Shunji. But you're not the Shunji I knew. You're just a Japanese something -- What ever Mok Dan said to him.



I can't wait for the next episode now.



Action: The hot sword guy, You know the guy with the wicked woman from the west. :P

Japanese singer, or what ever. (I like her so much). =D

Not her character of course. FINALLY he and Kang To fought. I wanted that to happen for so long. (No reason really)



Romance: I'm not going for the romance here. I don't really care about that anymore.

They don't really have any chemistry, for what I see. Probably in the next 4 episodes hope may arise. :D



This show always gives me a surprise. Keep it up screen writers.

Sword fights, blackouts, and explosions...oh, my!!!

Awesome!!! I was so ready to see Ra Ra's bodyguard's moves and it was a great fight. So glad to se Sa Ri's lady friend (not sure of her name) help Kang To!!!



I like the comic relief though of people hiding under the tables.



It would be really nice if someone would just kill Goiso. He gets on my last nerve. It was something to see him squeamish of what Shunji was doing to Leader Jo. That is how you know Shunji has done lost his mind.



Then they end with a clifhanger that is going to make me suffer all week long!!! What a way to end an episode. I keep wondering if Kang To is going to be able to continue his double life.

a good second outing.

the second episode continues with the faster pace, which means that all those long angsty ,awkward and embarassing moments from You're Beautiful are either much shorter or gone completly. i rather like that.

Yuki and Shu are just sort of there this episode. i dont find either of them to be very entertaining or intriguing. Shu's a little stiff and Yuki's not a comedian. he's supposed to be funny but he has no feel for it so he's just saying things. hopefully it just takes them a little bit to get warmed up.

i much perfer Ren to Taekyung and Mio, though a little clumsy sometimes isnt the one woman force of catastrophe that Mi Nam was. it's as if Taekyung and Mi Nam's rough edges were smoothed out. they are very entertaining to watch.

13 years later...

Then Geom has to suffer more from these stupid boys.

What is with the entitlement some of these people have. It is ridiculous.

I wonder when he will remember who he really is.

I could have really done w/o the pooping scene. Why was that even in this drama??? blah!!!

Kanashi demo, Bakaleya wa Sugoi desu!

There is definately some romance in this show, But the last episode focused little on the romance. Rather than picking that up as the major subject, they decided to come up with a correct solution making the school a ideal place to be for both rich princesses and delinquents. I'm actually rather pleased about the fact that this episode rather took that solution. saved me some tears..



A moving ending, A last episode who kept you watching while longing for more. This ending, I don't think it would have been equally good if there wasn't a movie adaption of this coming up in september. As the ending was rather open, It just made you wish to see more. This episode had me on the edge.

It had me laughing, Focused, Depressed and Happy all at once.



The drama soundtrack was pretty good in overal. I loved both of the themesongs. Kis-My-Ft2's Shake it up, and Maeda Atsuko's Mikikata.

Honestly, I can't wait for the movie to arrive. I just wish it would be here already.



This drama was definately worth the watch. It has a tiny piece of everything. Made you laugh, Made you able to live into the characters decisions and situations.



i feel however that we got way too little information regarding Fumie's past and present. I hope we will get to see some more of it however in the movie.



Whoever tells you that this drama isn't worth the watch was definately lying. This is definately not a waste of time. Got better by the episode.. And at this point, I'm longing for the movie..
