The drama could have been very intense, but fell short.

Story - The story was very controversial. It was about a teacher falling in love with her student.
As unusual as it may be, this things could and does happen in real life. A teacher could really fall in love with a student. With that said, the drama could have been believable. But in this drama, the way the teacher fell in love with her student seemed bizarre. In a nutshell, they bump into each other, they talk a few times, next thing you know they're in love. That could have been convincing, if executed well. No matter how skeptic I was on how the drama will turn out, I kept watching because I thought I could just let that minor flaw slide. Well the drama goes on dragging.. dragged the whole way through. Then there were scenes that almost made me shiver inside, but failed. It could have been a very exciting, very intense drama, but the execution was unsuccessful.

Acting - Matsushima Nanako and Hideaki were good, just wasn't good enough to save this drama.

Music - The reason I watched this drama was because of the soundtrack. "First Love" is such a good song, I didn't think the drama deserved to have this song as its theme song. It didn't really fit the song, but they used it well.

Overall this drama is anticlimactic. It could have been a really really good drama, it could really have, but didn't. It wasn't THAT bad, but I was very disappointed. It's disappointing to see something that could have been good go down the drain.
On the plus side, it received a very high viewership rating in Japan.

Delightful Girl is one of those must watch romantic-comedies.

Story - It's a very funny drama mixed with.. well, drama. Originality? not so much. Entertaining? very. Everytime the two main characters were together it was always entertaining. This drama was full of misunderstandings between the two main characters, which gets tiring after awhile. But when I was finally getting really tired of their countless misconception, it actually stopped, for awhile. I guess you can say it's unpredictable, sometimes.
The drama got a little slow in the middle, though. It got too dramatic and well.. the comedy that kept me watching was gone, for awhile. But I kept on watching because it started out really good, and fortunately it wrapped up pretty well.

Acting - The two actors were fun to watch as they bicker and express love all throughout. The antagonist were convincingly annoying, which means they played their part well.

Music - Music was great. Definitely one of them goodies.

Overall, it's a great underrated drama. I would give it a 9 if it wasn't for the slow down halfway through.

"It Started With a Kiss" is one of the first Taiwanese dramas I've seen, and made me want to see more.

Story - Based on a Japanese manga, It Started With a Kiss is about a clumsy air-head, but VERY patient girl, who likes a cold-hearted guy. Due to some some crazy circumstances, she and her father ends up living with him and his family.

I really liked this drama from the beginning, although it was UNBELIEVABLY unrealistic, it was very funny and entertaining. The drama goes on with the girl and guy's love and hate relationship, all throughout it was pretty much like that with different scenarios. When I got around the middle of this 24-episode drama.. it started to feel dragging. Nonsense, senseless things started to pop-up, which didn't seem to have done anything to the progress of the story. Fortunately, it picked up at the latter episodes.. the climax of the story really made up for the dragging parts in the middle.

Will it be a happy ending or a sad ending?.. it's for you to find out.

Acting - It wouldn't be such a good drama if it wasn't for the acting. I didn't think there was much to be acted though, but overall.. they delivered. One of the most memorable character would be Zhi Shu's mom (very hilarious), so watch out for it.

Music - "It Started With a Kiss" had a really good soundtrack. Fits the drama pretty well. Say That You Love Me was a very catchy theme song, and all the insert song where easy on the ears.

Overall, it was a silly, yet entertaining drama.

I've always brushed off "Soulmate" to the side and kept it lying on the shelf for some time because skimming through it, I didn't find it very interesting or appealing.
First impression:
1.Not a very good looking cast - at first.
2.Mature content - It seemed very Amercanized. Nothing wrong with that, but if I wanted to watch something "Americanized" I would have just turned on the TV.
3.The couples didn't seem to fit - No chemistry at all.... in a glance.
BUT after watching the first episode, I was hooked. In one episode, the characters grew on me, it turned out that it wasn't as sexified and thoughtless as I thought it was going to be, and the couples that I thought were the leads were not the.. "Soulmate."
After watching this 24 episode "sitcom" (30 minutes each), I thought it was one of the best Korean romantic-comedy miniseries I've seen.

STORY - Soulmate was basically about 6.. well.. 8 people's love story, presented in a very comical way. Lot's of characters=lot's of side stories. There was pretty much 2 main stories, one with a couple in a relationship of 5 years slowly breaking apart, and another about a couple starting to blossom.
What I really liked about this drama is that the story had what you call DIRECTION. Watching this drama, you could tell that this drama was well planned because of the way the story flowed. No unpleasant surprises or crazy twists that doesn't even flow with the story, but just a nice, well written, well produced, and well acted drama. (A little spoiler) The two leads of this drama actually meets a lot later than usual, yet, it doesn't get boring at all. In fact, it was one of the reason that made this drama so aniticipating.
The comedy in this drama worked well, it had a nice mix of comedy and romance. It was quite mature, but entertaining otherwise.
The only thing I didn't really like about this drama was that it didn't seem to have had enough scenes between the two main leads. They spent too much time building up the side stories, thus not giving enough air time for the two "Soulmates," but I guess it was forgivable.. even though Dong Wook (main guy) and Yujin (support) didn't seem to have any chemistry, they sure gave a lot of laugh.

ACTING - I've already said that it was a well acted drama. I don't understand why these actors aren't the face of the new Korean dramas coming out today. LSK didn't seem "leading lady" material at first, but she definitely proved herself throughout that drama. SDW did a convincing performance. Shin Min-Ae (the hot girl) wasn't believable at all, at first, because I didn't think she had the looks, but her charisma lit up the screen. Together.. Philip, Sa Kang, Ryo, MiJin.. they all really had chemistry.

MUSIC - This drama has one of the best soundtrack in k-drama history. The song selection was very hip, which fits perfectly for this hip, trendy drama.

Overall, I have nothing but praises for this drama. It really surprised me on how good it is, it was definitely unexpected. If you like a good romantic-comedy.. this is definitely a MUST watch.

I didn't expect much from this series, but it turned out to be really good. I thought it would just be some silly teen romance drama, but it's more than that.

STORY - The story is about a guy going back in time to get the girl he loves. Silly? Not really. The story was really touching, despite the fact that it does not have a girl dying, and me saying it was touching.. this must be some really good romance drama. You would really feel sorry for the main guy, despite the fact that he's really slow. At some episodes you'll find yourself yelling at the TV to get him to tell the girl how he really felt. When you finally think he was gonna do it, he suddenly goes back to the present time. ah... Nonetheless, it kept me wanting more. Plus despite the fact that this was a fantasy romance drama, it wasn't too cliched like I thought it would be. All throughout the series he goes back to time.. and it gets repetitive at times, but the story per episode were just nicely written. Even the subplot between Tsuru and Eri, and his other friends were interesting.
The last two episode were a little slow, and the ending may not be as satisfying as it could have been (although I thought it was just fine..) in the end.. it turned out to be a memorable drama.

ACTING - I thought Yamashita (or Yamapi) could only play silly roles (like Akira from Nobuta wo Produce) but this guy proved me wrong. Although there was still silliness in his character you could feel for his character. For that, I think he did a pretty good job.
Nagasawa Masami - from the beginning and on I've already thought she was too beautiful for words.. the next Matsushima Nanako as I said. And I really don't think she's just pretty face, she has talent.
The other 3 main actors did a great job also.

MUSIC - Good. It fits perfectly.

Overall, a must watch if you're in the mood for a good romance drama.

Lovers in Paris sparked my interest for Korean dramas, and that says a lot about this drama. It's funny, romantic, engaging, and a definite must watch.

STORY - The story is the typical poor girl/rich guy love story that everyone has seen before, with a touch of comedy. Although the story may be typical, the way it was executed was refreshing, including the location. But honestly, with or without its wonderful location (Paris), this drama would have been successful anyway because the script was just well written. The "romantic" conversations between the two main leads are well... sweet and doesn't suffer from being too cheesy like others tend to do. But, like every other Korean dramas or every other dramas in general, Lovers in Paris suffers from being draggy at times. It feels like the episodes before the last episode dragged a bit even though it was the revelation part. The most disappointing part about this drama was the finale. You get excited to watch the final episode because of how good the drama is and how good it was built up to the ending, but when you finally you watch it, you'll end up being confused (atleast I did). I don't think it's a bad ending though, but it was disappointing and it could have been better.

CAST - At first I thought the two main leads looked too old for this kind of genre (romantic comedy), especially KJE with her clumsy self and her expressions, but surprisingly, it worked! The main lead (Park Shin Yang) may not be the best looking Korean actor out there, but this guy has what you call talent and charisma. And the lead actress (KJE) may not be the most elegant Korean actress, but she is really cute and funny. Together, they're made Lovers in Paris a MUST watch.

MUSIC - Fitting (not much I can comment about).

Overall, I truly enjoyed this drama. It made me laugh, sad, happy, and excited to watch the next episode. Although the ending disappointed me a little, I'd still say this is a must watch drama.

STORY - The story is about a 15 year old girl who was struck by an incurable disease (based on a true story) and shows how it slowly changed her life. It shows how her family and friends supported her, her love interest (which was fiction), and how she dealt with the disease.

At first this drama starts out slow, but it's understandable because this is a melodrama. Once you get to the middle and the end, you'll probably won't be able to read the subtitles because your eyes are all covered up with tears.

The title is just too perfect for this drama. Although I didn't cry a liter of tears (but touched me big time), I'm sure if someone was sensitive enough.. it could be possible. The fact that this was somewhat a true story gives it an even bigger "aww" factor.

After watching the first episode, I could careless about the drama and the characters, but I kept watching anyways because of all the good things I've heard about it. Fortunately I stuck to it because it turned out to be a very beautiful, moving drama.

CAST - The cast did a great job portraying their characters. The whole family, her love interest, and especially the lead actress (Erika Sawajiri) did a great job.

MUSIC - The music was perfect for this kind of melodrama, I personally liked Konayuki by Remioromen. Once you hear that song you'd automatically think about Aya and Asou.

Overall, this is by far the saddest drama I've ever sat through, and I meant that in a good way. I highly recommend this drama, which the majority who has seen it dubbed as a "life-altering" drama.
