Review by a doctor: love the medicine, hate the romance

I have a love hate relationship with this drama. On the one hand I absolutely love the medical aspect. I'm a doctor and this drama was so well researched and very accurate. I enjoyed the cases and also the medical lifestyle and the hardship of doctors and their relationship with the patients, all was very relatable.
BUT I did not like the romance at all. Mostly it made me uncomfortable and cringe. I know that's more of a me problem though. The characters too I had a hard time liking though they did grow on me by the second season. Honestly all 7 of the stars I gave go to how well they did the medical aspect of the show. It's hard to find something so well researched. Props to the people who worked on the drama.

I loved the acting. Song Ji Hyo does crying scenes so well and I love Lee Sun Kyun, he is one of my favorite ahjussi actors. Even the side characters were great. I love Lee Sang Yeob from Running Man and he was just as funny and cute here. I loooved Kwon BoA who I didn't realize was THE BoA until I saw the cast!!! Kim Hee Won's character was trash but he played it so well! And Ye Ji Won is a queen! My favorite though was baby Kim Kang Hoon ??
The characters were written really well. Very flawed and real.
The story was good up until the end where *spoiler* the main couple got divorced for no reason other than the wife wanted to because she felt guilty. And then just as it was shown that the husband was moving forward, they got back together? It felt like that was just added to stretch the story more, which was annoying. This drama already had fewer than usual episodes (12 instead of 16) and yet they needed to add fillers. It could have ended at episode 10. The side stories were awesome though! Ah Ra's revenge arc and Jun Young, Bo Yeong couple ??
The direction & production was so bad. I wouldn't have noticed it a few years back, but now I do notice such stuff and it felt like the directors and editors just could not decide which style they wanted to go with. They switched so many styles in a single scene that it got annoying.
Overall it was a good watch. Worth it for the life lessons and baby Joon Soo.

On Your Wedding Day

I FINALLY watched this one and loved it as much as I knew I would!! It's so adorable and I highly recommend it to everyone!! The acting, the story, everything's amazing! It isn't "unique" and has been done before many times but I loved it still.

The way the two leads' friendship and love develops, the way we fall in love with the characters and want them so badly to be together but the damn timing just isn't right each time, really gets the viewer involved. I had all the feels.

*Spoiler* I was so sad they didn't end up together but it also made sense. This is life. It's reality. You don't always end up with the person you want to be with. Life gets in the way. And I was so glad that the male lead didn't try to force the female lead into running away with him or anything. He was respectful all the way. And loved her so much. Damn I want a guy like that. *Spoiler*

Anywho, amazing movie. Do watch. Worth it. 5/5 ?

The was such a different and refreshing drama! Especially the romance. No stupid miscommunication, no disrespect, no unnecessary drama. The couple had real problems and they solved them like real, mature people. It sucks that this drama wasn't very popular and they had to cut down the episodes. But even after the episode cut it was really good and definitely became one of my favorites!

Story: Ex Girlfriend Club had a pretty unique story. It may seem typical but the way it played out was very different. It involved real-life problems but in an exaggerated way so it wasn't exactly a slice of life but the exaggeration made it interesting instead of unbelievable. I loved the conflicts and how our main characters overcame them. There was never a dull moment and the story was pretty interesting.

Actors/Characters: I loved all the different characters we got to see in this drama. Each girl had her own unique personality and quirks and the best part was that all of them were flawed, real characters. They had some good traits and some bad which made them real people and hence easy to sympathize with.

Romance: This was my favorite part of the drama. It was just so sweet and comfortable and real. It's the kind of relationship I dream of having. Myung Soo and Soo Jin were such good friends and so comfortable with each other. They loved each other in more than just a romantic way. They're definitely one of my all-time favorite drama couples!

Overall: I loved this drama and it really sucks not many people know about it. Highly recommended if you're in the mood of a light rom-com with good solid characters, a real romance and a interesting story.

Wow! Just... wow! I mean... I never expected this when I started Healer. I had heard a lot of good stuff about it and I had great expectations but I never thought it would be this good. Healer is like in a league of it's own! Amazing, well-written story. It was so interesting throughout and kept me guessing. I loved the mystery and it was all so cool! Awesome acting! All of the cast was seriously so good! Ji Chang Wook is love! Not only is he super hot but he's also super talented and he did an awesome job! Now just please go play a creepy, hot serial killer because I would love to see you in that kind of a role! I also loved his character! He was so adorable and cool and hot and adorable!! I loved Park Min Young. I've always liked her as an actress and she didn't disappoint here as well. And Young Shin was so cute! All the characters were really well-written. I loved Yoo Ji Tae. This was my first time watching him and I gotta say I'm impressed! The rest of the cast was amazing too, especially Kim Mi Kyung as hacker Ahjumma (she is my new role-model) and Jeong Gyoo Soo as the creepy assistant. I also really liked the music! The soundtrack is so good! All of the songs, including the instrumentals, are great! This drama was seriously amazing! It made me laugh, it made me cry and it was a perfect blend of romance, action, mystery, suspense and comedy. Plus the OTP is beyond adorable so you can't help but ship it and the OTP scenes will make you melt!

I really enjoyed this drama despite all it's flaws. Thai dramas really get the cute & cuddly right! First Full House, then Kiss Me and now this, all three are full of adorable OTP scenes that make me squeal! The story was okay. A little absurd at times, has many flaws but it was definitely interesting and I wasn't bored. The acting was okay too. I really liked Gypso and her character. Her character wasn't annoying as many people say. I actually really liked her except at the end when she was being really stupid. I liked Push's character too before he became a selfish idiot towards the end. I gotta say though, the characters weren't good or bad. Each had a mix of both like real people do. For example MeeDee was sweet but he couldn't take the hint. May wasn't all that bad and sometimes she was super adorable but she was also selfish. Same with the "evil" characters. All had good and bad in them. The best person though was Win's brain Tom. Win was a jerk to him but I love how Tom stood up for himself. Plus Tom was the only reasoning voice. He was Win's brain because Win was too stupid to think correctly himself. Overall I really enjoyed this drama!

I honestly don't know if I liked this drama or not. I gave it an 8 which is a good rating and I do remember enjoying most of it but even though I finished it a couple of days ago I don't really remember much of it. It wasn't memorable and didn't leave much of an impact. And I had to force myself to watch the last couple of episodes because I got bored watching it. The acting was average. It wasn't that good but it wasn't that bad either. Hwang Jung Eum was tolerable but sometimes she got super annoying. She overacts a lot. Park Seo Joon was okay. I liked him better in Witch's Romance. A lot of people loved Siwon and while I did like him and his character too, he got a bit annoying sometimes as well. Go Joon Hee was the only person I liked and who's performance I enjoyed. The romance was okay, nothing special. I'm tired of the childhood friends reunite plot. I loved the friendship between Hye Jin & Ha Ri! I really liked the side characters and their stories! I know I should probably rate this lower but I feel like it deserves an 8.

Umm.. wow! I was not expecting this drama to be this good! I picked it at random out of the currently airing dramas because I wanted to watch something light and funny and this seemed right up my alley. It was all those things but it was also so much more!

Story: The story was full of mystery and suspense and love and emotions and loads of cuteness! I loved every moment of it! The romance played out so well! But more about that later. The mystery of Soon Ae's death and creepy officer Choi was so good! There were scenes during which I actually got goosebumps! The drama played the supernatural element really well and it blended with everything else. From start to finish this drama was perfectly constructed, with great consistency. Despite the ending being a typical drama ending, it was done right for a change. It left me satisfied and even though I miss these characters, I'm very happy with how the drama ended.

Actors/Characters: I loved the cast! Such talented actors, all of them! And deep, well-written characters. Na Bong Sun was my favorite character! She was so adorable! And I saw so much of myself in her! I connected with her a lot and most of the time I just wanted to give her a huge hug! Park Bo Young did a mind blowing job, playing Na Bong Sun and Shin Soon Ae. You could differentiate between the two girls with only her demeanor. She was so good with both characters, both of which are complete opposites. This girl deserves an award!

Is it just me or does Jo Jung Suk has a Gong Yoo vibe? He's just as gorgeous and just as amazing an actor. I mean everyone in this drama is an amazing actor! And Jo Jung Suk wasn't any different. I loved Kang Seon Woo! He was somewhere between a bad boy and good guy. He was sweet and adorable and had depth as a character. Loved him!

I love Kim Seul Gi! I love the quirky character she plays so well! And she was perfect as Shin Soon Ae. She made me laugh, she made me cry. It was just so much fun to watch her onscreen. Her performance was really great!

Onto my second favorite character, Choi Sung Jae. Hey, don't look at me like that! I have a thing for psycho characters :P But honestly though, how amazing was Im Joo Hwan's acting? Makes me want to check out more of his dramas. One second he is the nicest person you have ever seen and the next he has this sinister, murderous glint in his eyes and the look on his face will haunt your nightmares. No but seriously, I loved is character! I felt sorry for him but he was also so scary! A very interesting character.

Yaay for ahjumma friendships! I seriously loved Seobingo and Seon Woo's mother! They reminded me of the only thing I loved in The Heirs (other than the Chan Young/Bo Na couple). They were so adorable and funny, together and separately. So were all the people who worked in Seon Woo's restaurant. They were such a goofy, endearing group! I also loved Seon Woo's sister and her story was heartbreaking! I loved how pure and innocent she was.

Romance: Na Bong Sun and Kang Seon Woo are ssooo adorable together!!!! Like I can't even!!! Their cuteness had me smiling like a lovesick fool! I seriously loved the two of them together! And even though I liked Soon Ae I was team Bong Sun from the start. The love triangle was very interesting and I loved how it played out.

Overall: I loved this drama to bits and pieces and if you haven't seen it already then what are you waiting for?! With romance, mystery, great acting and amazing story and a pinch of scary this drama will make you fall in love with its awesomeness!

I loved this drama! It was different and amazing! Greatly executed, it had talented actors, a good story and amazing music. It was very enjoyable.

Story: I don't usually like noona romances but this one was daebak! It had a great story though I did not like the second male lead part. That was boring and made no sense. But the rest of it was amazing! It didn't have any twists and turns or huge birth secrets. There was a mystery around the leads' past but it was simple and believable and wasn't too heavy. The romance was epic and the lead couple had amazing chemistry! There was plenty comedy and cute stuff and I enjoyed the side stories as well, like Ban Ji Yeon's mother's.

Actors/Characters: In my opinion, the characters of this drama were very well-written. All had depth and seemed real. All except No Shi Hoon. He was cardboard character who had no personality. But more about that later. I'll start with Ban Ji Yeon. I've seen Uhm Jung Hwa in a couple of movies and I've liked her but I really enjoyed her performance in this drama! She was great in the funny as well as the emotional scenes and I felt like she captured the character really well. I liked how throughout the drama Ban Ji Yeon acted like an adult and acted her age. It was adorable how, when she fell in love, she giggled like a teenage girl. All in all, I really enjoyed her character.

I was very impressed with Park Seo Joon! I haven't seen him in anything else so I wasn't really expecting anything but I was very impressed with his acting and his portrayal of the character. He has very good facial expressions and usually his face shows his feelings. Also, he makes the most adorable faces! Yoon Dong Ha was a nice, sweet guy and exactly the kind of guy I would want! I loved him! He was adorable and perfect! He was sweet and caring and just adorable!

No Shi Hoon, as I mentioned, was a very uninteresting character. He had no personality or soul and the reason behind his actions was never revealed. In fact his character wasn't developed at all. Han Jae Suk didn't appear that much that I could say anything about his acting. He was okay I guess.

I very much enjoyed all the side characters in this drama. I loved Ji Yeon's mother! Her relationship with her mother was very much like my own with my mother so that was very sweet. And I really liked her romance with Ji Yeon's boss. I loved Dong Ha's roommate! He was funny and adorable and such a sweetheart! And his romance with Eun Chae was really cute! Ji Yeon's friend and her husband were funny and cute and just perfect! And I really enjoyed all the office workers, especially Team Leader Byun who's character was written really well.

Overall: I really enjoyed this drama. It was different and really good and I loved the romance and comedy.

Oh. My. God. I don't think I have ever seen a more frustrating and annoying drama! I was expecting a light, fun drama but this turned out to be so exasperating that at times I was emotionally drained watching this. I had to take a break to calm myself down. I have never shouted at my computer screen but I did while watching this drama. I don't know why I got so invested but just thinking about this drama is making me angry again!

Story: I did not understand the political stuff AT ALL. I know that may be my fault since I'm not into politics and stuff but a drama like this shouldn't have complicated politics. I didn't understand the history either. I didn't get most of the reasons for the characters' actions. The second female lead arc was so annoying! Why couldn't anyone see the evil stuff she was doing? Why was she doing all that evil stuff? I'm guessing it's because she was crazy. But why did she get a happy ending then? Evil people already get happy endings in real life, I don't want that in dramas as well!

Honestly though, this drama started out really well. It seemed light and funny. The female lead was refreshing and bubbly and for a change the male lead was nice to her. I had high hopes for this drama. I don't know why they had to add such annoying politics and evil schemes.

Actors/Characters: I liked Lee Seol in the beginning. She was funny and wasn't afraid to say what was on her mind. After the introduction of bitch Oh Yoon Joo, I was hoping Lee Seol would be confident and fight against her. At least say something to her face and show her who's boss. But no. Lee Seol had to be this stupid girl who falls for Yoon Joo's tricks every time and never stands up for herself! Yes, I know. She eventually did fire her and all. But by that time I was way too tired. She should have done something earlier. Kim Tae Hee's acting wasn't bad though. And I did enjoy a couple of scenes. I'm blaming the writer/director.

Park Hae Young was okay. To be honest, I don't remember him much. I did like how he was nice and not a mean, rude jerk. He was very different from the conventional male leads. But he wasn't very memorable. I'm racking my brain here trying to remember something about him but all I can think is how annoying it was that whenever Lee Seol did something stupid he cleaned up the mess. I would've liked it if Lee Seol wasn't this stupid. And that she would clean up her own messes. Other then that I don't remember Hae Young much. Song Seung Hoon was good. I don't remember having any problem with his acting.

Oh my God I don't think I have ever hated a character more than I hated Oh Yoon Joo! She was so evil! And crazy! Very crazy! I wanted to slap her so hard! I was hoping one of the characters would do it. But no. Not only does she not get a slap but she also gets her happy ending! I mean, come on! I didn't hate her this much for her to be left like this! She was a selfish, crazy bitch who had no justification for her actions. I didn't have any sympathy for her even when that was the card the writer was playing. I'm not sure what to say about Park Ye Jin. If she made me hate the villain so much then she must have done a good job, right? But the most annoying thing about her was the robotic straight face she always had. It was like she didn't have any emotions. I think that is why I wasn't able to sympathize with her.

Nam Jung Woo was probably my favorite character. He was the only person smart enough to see through Yoon Joo. He also countered her tactics. He was nice and considerate without going overboard. He was the only person who seemed human. And the only person I was rooting for. Why, oh why did he choose Yoon Joo?!!! He deserved someone nice, not a selfish bitch like her! I think Ryu Soo Young did a pretty good job.

Out of the side characters I simply adored Lee Gun (the chef) and Court Lady Shin! They were adorable and funny and awesome! I hated Lee Dan (Lee Seol's sister)! But what I don't get is if she is punished for all her doings, why wasn't Yoon Joo too? (No, I am never letting this go!) Lee Dan wasn't nearly as bad as her! And her actions were understandable as well! I don't remember any of the other characters. The grandpa seemed sort of crazy.

Overall: This drama just wasn't for me. I know a lot of people loved this drama but it had too much of an "Indian drama" feel to it and I really don't like Indian dramas. Oh well, maybe you'll have better luck with it.

THIS. WAS. THE. CUTEST. DRAMA. EVER!!!!!!! OhmyGodIlovedit!!!!!! I'm sorry but I'm way too excited for my review to be coherent! Okay, wait. Deep breath.

Let me start this again. This drama was amazing! I've seen a Thai movie, Shutter, before which was amazeballs! I've also seen a Thai mini movie, The Library, which was also amazing! And now I watched this Thai lakorn which I absolutely loved! I hope my luck with Thai entertainment stays this good ;) Before I start my review let me say that I haven't seen the original Korean version of Full House, nor do I plan to. But people who have seen it say that the Thai version is better so yaay! Now onto my review.

Story: If I had to rate the story alone I would give it a 4, maybe 5, out of 10. I'll be honest, if it weren't for the lead couple I would've hated the story. The fake marriage aspect of it was great and I loved the romance but what was up with Mike? What was his deal with Min & his promise and what not?! That was extremely annoying! Especially since I felt like Min was shown as misunderstood not manipulative and evil like she was. But even if that part of the story was annoying, I really enjoyed the drama overall. Especially the AoMike parts! OTP!!!!!

Actors/Characters: Umm... I think I'm in love... No, seriously, Mike is gorgeous! And I think I'm in love with him..
That said, he was pretty good in this drama. Not Johnny Depp good, obviously, but I think he did a great job and portrayed his character well. I liked Mike (the character), he was adorable! Other than his obsessed-with-Min side, I really liked him. I liked how he was genuinely a nice person and cared about others. He wasn't mean like most "chaebol" characters are. And his relationship with Aom was just the cutest!

I loved Aom! The actress did a really amazing job, there were some scenes (like the one in which she confesses) with I absolutely loved! And I adored her character! She was funny and cute and I love how she stood her own. She refused to be bullied around and even though she was a bit crazy, I really liked her! She was one of the most 'real' characters I have ever seen!

I actually really liked Guy! He was pretty cool and I loved how straightforward he was! That was what I loved the most about him, he wasn't one of those second leads who keep suffering on their own and never say a word. He was pretty honest.

Mintra was the most annoying person ever!! I hated her! She was manipulative and selfish and I really really hated her!

The rest of the cast was okay. Most were there for comedy purposes or to move the story along and all of them did well. Mike's grandmother was adorable!

Romance: The romance was the best part of this drama. AoMike had such amazing chemistry! They reminded me of the InHyun couple. I loved their bickering and their loving glances and how much they cared for each other. I loved how they were like friends and I love love love that they are good friends in real life as well! I simply loved them together!

Overall: The story wasn't the best but the romance was mindblowingly amazing and for that alone this drama deserves a watch! I really hope AoMike soon work on another drama together!

This drama started out so well but them somewhere along the way it turned into an absurd melodrama that made me cringe and roll my eyes.

Story: The story started out really well. I loved the premise and I think they handled the angel part really well. In the beginning I loved the romance! It was so adorable and made butterflies flutter in my stomach. I even liked Sung Yeol's angsty, raging hormones teen story. But then Sung Yeol became a psycho (and I seriously think he needed professional help. Even by the end I felt like he should go see a psychiatrist.) and somebody cried in each episode and Woohyun's and Sungyeol's mom was selfish and lame and the romance became boring with all the tears and separations. The story seemed to have no direction and the writer kept adding weird stuff to keep the lead couple apart. It was all very absurd and stupid. I would have dropped this drama a long time ago had it not been for Sungyeol & Woohyun and I don't like to leave things unfinished.

Actors/Characters: This drama, like Heirs and I think most of the high school drama, had a huge cast. I'll start with Kim Sae Ron. I was very impressed with her acting in the beginning. I mean she was doing such a good job even though she was so young. But I think, like me, even Kim Sae Ron got bored of her character because her acting became boring and meh. Or maybe it was only her character. I really liked Seul Bi in the beginning. She was cute and lively. But she soon lost her charm. She became stupid and clingy. I like my lead girls strong but Seul Bi was far from that. And soon I became very irritated with her.

Woohyun was better than I thought he would be. He wasn't that good in the beginning but he improved a lot and by the end he was the best out of the three main leads. He wasn't very good but he wasn't too bad either. I felt like Woohyun really understood his character. His character was also a lot like him (or at least what I have seen of him in variety shows and such). Woo Hyun was a nice guy albeit a bit narcissistic. It was sweet how he cared about the people around him and I really liked his relationship with him grandmother.

Sungyeol, oh Sungyeol! You were so good in Please Remember Princess! What happened?! Sungyeol was so stiff in this role. I had high expectations after seeing him in PRP but I was sadly disappointed. He was doing pretty well in the beginning but it went downhill in the more expressive scenes. He was really good in some scenes but cringe-worthy in others. His character was an interesting one in the beginning. And honestly he had a lot of potential. Which all went to waste. Soon he became this psycho, jealous boy who wanted to hurt the people around him any way he could. He was confused and raging and desperately in need of help. I was surprised he acknowledged that at some point and reached out. But really though, it was very weird where the writer took him.

I'll talk about the parents now. Please someone give Ms Ahn the Worst Parent of the Year award! Seriously, she was so selfish and so so stupid! Some would say she redeemed herself by the end but I disagree. The woman couldn't chose between the two sons, she couldn't solve the problem like an adult, she kept making things more complicated, it was all so frustrating! Sungyeol's dad, Hwang Woo Jin was better. He was a nice man who cared about his son and loved his wife. But he neglected Sungyeol. And sometimes he refused to act like an adult too.

I did like the side characters. Ki Soo was funny and cute. I really liked Choi Jae Sook. He was a layered character and much more interesting than the main characters. Na Young Eun was similar. She was also well-written and more interesting. I really like Lee Ye Na and wish that the writer would have focused on her a little more. And given her a better storyline. Byung Wook and that girl who was with him were so adorable! I also wish Byung Wook would've gotten more importance. He was a good character. I also really liked Cheon Sik.

My favorite character in the whole drama was Kim Joo Ah. Not only was she a lot like me, she was also very interesting and her love story with Tae Ho was much better than the main love story. I wish she would've gotten her very own drama. Or that she was the main lead. Because I loved this girl! And I loved her with Tae Ho! Tae Ho was so caring towards her and so adorable in trying to win her by giving her books. If someone did that for me I would so totally fall in love with him! I mean he was buying books for her! Because she loves reading! How awesome and romantic is that?! I need a drama with these two in it!

Sunbae, Sunbae, Sunbae. Honestly I wanted Seul Bi to end up with Sunbae. I did like Sunbae in the beginning and I didn't start disliking him or anything. But I did get tired of him and frustrated with him. He was weird.

Romance: A lot of people had problem with Kim Sae Ron being 14/15 and Woohyun being 23. Honestly I didn't have much problem with it. They had good chemistry and seemed comfortable with each other. Plus their weren't any inappropriate scenes of any kind so it was fine. They were a cute couple. But all the crying and stuff irritated me. Sungyeol though, I never felt like he actually loved Seul Bi. He did like her but I didn't feel like it was serious. He just had a problem with Woohyun having her.

There were plenty other better couples in this drama. Ki Soo and Young Eun were really cute. Byung Wook and his girl were adorable! Jae Sook and Da Yul were an interesting couple. And my favorite Tae Ho and Joo Ah were the best!

Overall: This drama had a lot of potential and a great start. But I don't know what the writer was thinking because this soon turned into a trainwreck I had to force myself to watch. A lot of people did love it though. So if you want a melodrama for younger audiences then I would recommend HSLO.

Bad Guys was unarguably one of the best dramas I watched this year. Every episode kept me on the edge of my seat and there was never a dull moment. It had great acting, as awesome story and expert direction and camera work.

Story: The story was really well-written! It had a lot of suspense and some really heartfelt moments. The bromance between these four men was great and I loved how each person had his own story. The thrill and action was gripping. I have never liked fighting scenes but the ones in this drama were intense and I found myself immersed in them. The mystery of Lee Jung Moon and Oh Goo Tak was very interesting and I loved how it all played out. All in all this drama was extremely well-written and well executed.

Actors/Characters: The cast in this drama was amazing! Everyone, even the side and not-so-important characters, did a great job! All characters were written really well and the actors fit into their roles perfectly. These characters were very real, each had his back story, each had feelings and emotions and it was easy to get attached to these characters and feel the pain they were feeling and be happy for them when they were happy.

Kim Sang Joon played Oh Goo Tak so well! I've only seen him in City Hunter and I loved him there! He didn't disappoint here either. Oh Goo Tak was a complicated character, like most characters in this drama, and most of the time I didn't know if I liked him or not. I did feel sorry for him. He was a very interesting character and always kept me guessing what was on his mind.

Lee Jung Moon was my favorite character! Not only because of Park Hae Jin's gorgeous looks but also because I love mysterious, psycho characters. I was blown away by Park Hae Jin's acting! I have seen him in You Who Came From The Stars and he was good in that but here he was amazing! He played mysterious and creepy so well! You can't help but be drawn to him. It was frustrating and also intriguing how I could never read Lee Jung Moon's mind. I never knew what he was thinking, what he was going to do next. I loved that Lee Jung Moon was more than what meets the eye and I felt sorry for the poor guy who got dragged into the whole mess.

Jo Dong Hyuk's voice is beautiful! I could listen to him speak all day and not get tired! On top of that he is really good looking and a great actor! I loved his character, Jung Tae Soo. Tae Soo had such style and charm but he was also such a romantic and that made me love him so much! His story was sad and more than once I wanted to give him a hug.

Park Woong Cheol reminds me of a teddy bear. He is like that. He is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Ma Dong Seok played him really well. I've seen him before in Shut Up Flower Boy Band but he was completely different here. I liked him here more, this character really suited him well.

Yoo Mi Young was so annoying I can't even! I tolerated her because the rest of the characters were amazing. I'm not sure if she was supposed to be this arrogant and proud or if Kang Ye Won played her that way but this was a character I did not like very much. Did she redeem herself by the end? Maybe. But not all the way.

Overall: The drama was mind-blowingly amazing and I had a lot of fun watching it! It was a thrilling ride and I would highly recommend it to fans of thrillers and crime dramas.

Oh how I loved this mini drama! It was such a delight to watch! It was fun but also deep and girl power!!! I loved the womance! Three cheers for this drama!

Story: The story was great! It had romance and suspense and sisterhood and I loved it! The pacing was great and this mini drama was really well-written. The love triangle was so good, I had no idea which couple I should root for. I liked them both! But the womance! I've seen plenty dramas with good bromance but this is the first one in which I loved the two girls together! They were really like sisters. I loved their fights and bickering and how they cared for each other so much. They worked together to survive the big bad world of fashion.

Actors/Characters: Hong Hara was so likable and cute! I was really impressed with Yura! Being an idol I expected her to be meh but she did a really good job! Her acting was great and she played Hara really well. Hara was a very real character. She was flawed and jealous but also nice and caring. She seemed very human and relatable.

Do Ra Hee was a great character! She was strong and a bit crazy but underneath it all she was so nice and caring and naive and loving. She was really well-written and Shin So Yul played her really well!

No Choel was a coward. And at times I hated him very much! But then he did something that made me go 'awww!'. He cared for both girls and I think he truly did like, if not love, them both. I had no idea that No Cheol was played by Yoo Min Kyu who was one of the band members in Shut Up Flower Boy Band. I only realized that after I read that in a comment. He looked very different here! I think he did a better job in SUFBB but he was okay in this one too.

Overall: This mini drama rocked! Hara and Ra Hee were the stars of this drama and I loved every bit of their story! I would highly recommend it to fans of romantic comedies who like girl power and womance.

I went into Liar Game without any expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. It was one hell of a drama! I haven't seen the Japanese version so I had no idea about the story. But I read that the Korean version is different from the Japanese. Either way, the drama was really good!

Story: I was hooked from the beginning to the end. It was all really very interesting. The games, how the players tackled the situations, especially the mystery about Kang Do Young. It always kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing what would happen next. But I never expected what did happen. My favorite part was definitely the games. The pure genius of the games and then the genius of the players, especially Ha Woo Jin, was so exciting to watch! Story wise, this drama was great! It had perfect pacing and there was never a dull or boring moment.

Actors/Characters: All of the characters were really well-written and the actors did a great job playing them. Ha Woo Jin was such an intriguing character. He was a genius and I was very impressed with how he thought. But the best part was that he was a softie at heart which was sweet. That didn't stop him from being super cool. He was someone whom if I met in real life I would be in awe. Lee Sang Yoon did an awesome job playing him. I haven't seen any of his other works but to me, I feel like he will always be Ha Woo Jin.

Many people were angry at Nam Da Jung and said that she was stupid. But I didn't feel like that. She seemed very real and honestly if I, or any other person (unless they were really cunning & smart) would have been in her place we would have easily been played as well. I like how she matured though. She became more confident and smart but still kept her innocence. Kim So Eun did a good job in this role. I've seen her only in Boys Over Flowers and I loved her there. While her character in Liar Game wasn't that different from her character in BOF she did do a good job and was likable and relatable.

My favorite character was Kang Do Young and Shin Sung Rok is the reason I started this drama in the first place. That man plays creepy characters so well it actually scares me! No one could have played Kang Do Young better than Shin Sung Rok. Kang Do Young was such a mysterious and creepy character but also cool in a way little kids find superheroes cool. Or maybe I was the only one who felt that way about him... I always did like the villains better... Anyway, there's no doubt that he was a very interesting character and from day one you start wondering: who is this man? What is his story? How is he related to everything? What game is he really playing? You can never guess though. Some of his scenes really scared me, the ones in which he "took off his mask" and showed his true face. But at the end I felt so sorry for him, no matter how twisted he was. I've seen Shin Sung Rok in You Who Came From The Stars and Trot Lovers. He did a great job in both but in the former he played a similar scary psychopathic character. He was awesome in that one but I liked him better here. Maybe because his character had more depth in this drama. Either way, Shin Sung Rok is awesome!

Out of the side characters I really liked Jo Dal Goo. He added some laughs to an otherwise serious drama. And I liked his relationship with Nam Da Jung. He was a nice guy and I felt sorry for him. I hated Jamie at first but she redeemed herself and I even somewhat admired her (especially after the President Game). I don't know why but I found Lee Yoon Joo (PD) and Director Jang really irritating. I'm guessing the latter was supposed to be that way but I didn't like Yoon Joo any better either. I really liked Choi Sung Joon and Lee Shi Hoo did such a good job! He is so adorable! The other characters were good too and the actors played their part well.

Ending: My thoughts are really conflicted about the ending. On one hand I'm hating that it ended at a cliffhanger. I need to know what happens next!!! How could they end it like that?? On the other hand I'm happy because this means that (hopefully) there is going to be a second season. If there is then I hope it comes out soon.

Overall: I loved this drama! It was a great psychological thriller that really kept me on the edge of my seat. It was a thrill to watch! Highly recommended!
