About the Drama

This is a medical TV series that follows the lives of young doctors who deal with setbacks, deaths, patients, and tensions on the job as they grow into full-fledged doctors! Set amid the surgery department of a hospital, this is story about love and marriage among four doctors mainly – First year resident Bong Dal Hee, Cardiothoracic surgeon Ahn Joong Geun, General surgeon Lee Gun Wook, and Pediatrician Cho Moon-Kyung.

Dal-hee is a young doctor who graduated from a lesser-known medical school than her fellow doctors and suffers from a heart condition. She starts her first year of residency at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery and this TV series follows her trials at work.

Dal Hee who has had a frail health since she was a young and her condition made her want to become a doctor so that she could cure diseases. But in the first year of her residency, she undergoes a heart operation and this forces her to give up her dreams of ever becoming a doctor. She returns to her hometown where she finds work at a local public health clinic but she can not forget her lifelong dream. With little expectation, she applies for a residency at a general hospital in Seoul and she is accepted due to a shortfall of applicants.

Finally, she is able to reach for her dreams again by starting her residency. But she has to complete the 100-day on-call duty in her first year and she tries harder than any other doctor to do her best but she keeps on making small mistakes that leads to serious complications for her patients. As Dal-hee overcomes the prejudices and misperceptions held against her by her peers, she finally gains the respect of her fellow doctors and completes her residency in three years.

During those years, heart specialist Ahn Joong Geun and Dr. Lee Gun Wook develop a rivalry at the hospital to become leading doctors and they also fall in love with Dal-hee.

Dal-hee works under a Joong Geun, and even though they don't get off to a good start, the two grow fond of each other as time goes by. Dal-hee’s health begins to deteriorate because of the grueling working hours at the hospital. She refuses to listen to the advice of her doctor and continues to work.

Because of her health, she tries to take it easy at work but Joong Geun steps up the pressure when he finds her taking breaks. Dal-hee realizes that curing patients has made her life fulfilling and so she relies on her mental edge to keep her going at work but one day she collapses in the middle of an operation. That incident put her entire career on hold.

Joong Geun, a Cardiac specialist, specializing in illness of the cardiac, respiratory and digestive systems. An extremely talented surgeon, despite being specializing in cardiac diseases, he is an all rounder. Supervisor for the Cardiactric department. He feels that it is a sin for a surgeon to make any forms of mistakes; a perfectionist in terms of being a surgeon. He is very strict towards the year 1 interns and therefore he is always angry with Dal Hee who makes mistakes all the time.

Dr. Lee Geon Wook divorced his wife, Dr. Jo Moon Kyung, after he found out that his 6-year-old son was actually fathered by another man before they got married. Even though he still has feelings for her, he often shows indifferent towards his ex wife as he felt betrayed and cheated.

Comments:

I actually watched this show before I watched "Cruel Love". Watched it a few times, especially the scenes between Dal-hee  and  Ahn Joong Geun. Some parts are totally hilarious and heart warming.

Ahn Joong Geun definately is not the ideal type of man you want to get close to but the way he looks out for Dal-hee is so sweet.

I can not  understand Dal-hee's affection towards Lee Geon Wook at first, not sure if its because Dr Lee Geon Wook has a kid and wife (ex-wife), but I prefer her to be with Ahn Joon Geun more.

About the Drama

This drama revolves around the complicated murder case that happened 15 years ago. In which the father of Ma Hye-ri and Haneul is involved in. The drama is all about crimes, lawyers and prosecutors.

Ma Hye-ri
Ma Hye-ri is the Junior Prosecutor, Midland Prosecutor’s Office and the Daughter of CEO Ma of Dongbang [Eastern] Architecture.Beautiful and stylish, Ma Hye Ri, forced by her father, passed the Bar Exam and graduated from the Judicial Research and Training Institute with top grades.

Raised as the precious daughter of an influential family, she studied as her mother told her to, and got good grades without any goals or personal worries, eventually entering a law college. She was an overweight child, but with hard training overseen by her mother, she grew to have a near perfect figure. She has an IQ of 168, an excellent memory and ability to focus. Despite her talents, she is more interested in being fashionable and dislikes hard work so she is far from being an ideal prosecutor and has doubts about her suitability for her job.

Her passion is all about shopping, manicure, pedicure, skincare, and body maintenance. She is always updated on the latest fashion and products. She wanted to be transferred to Fashion Design, however, her father found out and threatened to disown her and kick her out of the house if she does that.

She seems very spoilt and would buy whatever she likes to be in fashion. However, She has a simple, direct and pure personality. She was really kind very innocent in many ways. She will usually say things that were on her mind and she never realised when she offended anyone since she say things as a matter of factly and she thought was she was saying was right.

Through her conflicts with senior colleagues and struggles with difficult cases, Hye Ri gradually matures into a brilliant prosecutor with a sense of duty and justice.

Seo In Woo, Principal Attorney, Haneul ["sky/or heaven"] Law Offices

Seo In Woo has an unusual resume, he graduated from an American university, then came to Korea to take the bar exam and became a lawyer. Runs the law firm “Haneul,” which houses outsiders who can’t deal with the realities of the legal profession in Korea.

On the outside, he is brilliant and fair. But he has a chilling dark side. He is tenacious, meticulous, and good at reading people’s minds. He stops at nothing to win his clients’ lawsuits, and is not above blackmailing people who deserve it. On the other hand, he is tender and warm toward the innocent. He acts as legal aid or pro bono attorney on behalf of the powerless.

He is the man with an agenda when he stops at nothing to get close to Ma Hye Ri. But little did he know what he is getting into when he gets too close to her. Her innocent and straight forward character makes him unable to stop looking out for her.

Determined to find out the truth and clearing his dad's name. He embarks in the road to no return?

Yoon Se-joon (Chief Prosecutor of Ma Hye-ri’s office)

This man is called “The Gregory Peck of the Prosecutor World.” He is capable, cold, cynical, harsh and has a great sense of justice.

He lost his wife to cancer 3 years ago, and has a 7-year-old daughter. He felt great regrets about his wife’s death since he was not at her deathbed due to his passion for his work.

He is grateful to Prosecutor Jin and her mother for taking care of his daughter, but he obvilous to Jin Jeong-seon’s feelings for him even though he treasures her as a trustworthy junior colleague.
He is severe and cold with Hye-ri, who looks a lot like his wife but of totally different character. He understands that Hye-ri lacks the passion for prosecution job and treats it just like another job.

When everyone gives up on Hye-ri, he gives her an opportunity. Which makes Hye-ri fall for him. He resisted her advances, but as she chases him aimlessly, he finally accepts her feelings.

However, he realised that his affection towards Hye-ri is due to the fact that she is so caring and outward in showing her feelings towards him, on top of the fact that she looks like his dead wife, he slowly realised that he actually had feelings for Jin Jeong-seon instead. He also knows that Hye-ri is actually in love with Seo In Woo.

Jin Jeong-seon

Hye-ri’s senior colleague. Hot-blooded prosecutor who lives by justice and dies by justice.

She became a prosecutor because her father, having lost all of his money to a con, died of a nervous disorder brought on by rage. Because of her work, she has never dreamed of marriage.
All she’s done is admire Yoon Se-joon from afar. She doesn’t know what to do except wait for his wounds to heal. Her mum helps to baby-sit Yoon’s daughter Bin, and she looks after Bin providently.

But when Ma Hye-ri, flaunting her feminine scent, comes into the scene and even finding fault with Jeong-seon’s dress sense and talking back, Jeong-seon could not accept Ma hye ri as a prosecutor. Especially when she thinks that Ma Hye Ri is disrespectful and totally not of prosecutor material. It is even worst when Hye-ri shamelessly makes moves on Yoon Se-joon, the subject of Jeong-seon’s secret affection, and steals him away little by little.

She’s inept at expressing emotions, as well as bumbling, timid, and naively unaware of social norms. Jin Jeong-seon was one of those characters that sometimes fades to the background if you do not look at her carefully. She finally be able to express her feelings for Se-joon.

Comments

At first, I really find that Ma Hye-ri is really not a likeable character, she is really horriblely annoying. Acting indifferent and uncaring towards suspect who has not been convicted.

Totally selfish, spoilt and very snobbish. But slowly you will really liked her as you realise that she does not have any idea of the ways of the world. I can't imagine any girl with so much accessories. Doesn't it feels heavy to carry so many things around you neck, finger and ear?

Kim So-yeon looks so different here compared to her other shows, when I went to search the different shows that she acted in like Gourmet, Athena: Goddess of War and Doctor Champ. She looks very different. Evem the picture that Chief Prosecutor, Yoon Se-Joon , keeps staring at when he misses his wife (in which is actually her picture), looks very different to her image in the drama. I think her hair makes her looks so different here. I actually mistook her as Chae Jung Ahn from Coffee Prince.

Seo In Woo is a really cool character and his smile was so cute! Even though I could not understand why he needs to get Ma Hye-ri involved in his quest to clear the name of his dad who was convicted for murder. I feel so heart broken everytime he looks at Hye-ri in that "I am so sorry" look.

Wonderful scenery, most of the out door scenes have beautiful background. Especially like when Haneul piggy back Ma Hye-ri. So romantic! Haneul has a really good chemistry with Ma Hye-ri.

Great ending, I was afraid that it is going to be another sad ending for Korean drama where the guy leave and the girl missed him a lot but got on with her life striving and working hard. So curious about Seo In Woo's adopted parents but they did not appear in the drama.

On the whole, it is a really entertaining and romantic drama.

About the Drama

While working there she met a brilliant lawyer named Cha Ji-Wook (Kim Seung-Su) and eventually married him. Seol-Hee has become the daughter-in-law of a extremely wealthy family, but Seol-Hee soon learns that all that glitters isn't gold.

At social functions Seol-Hee's husband instructs her to not speak and just nod in agreement with the others. Her mother-in-law (Cha Hwa-Yeon) is incredibly insensitive to Seol-Hee as a person. What pushes Seol-Hee to the edge is when Seol-Hee's younger sister, who is now a doctor, is hospitalized with cancer and needs a bone marrow transplant from Seol-Hee. Seol-Hee's mother-in-law did not allow Seol-Hee to do the medical procedure in which can save her sister. Seol-Hee's husband offers no support to her when she seeks help from him. She is constantly being looked down upon by her mother-in-law. Realizing that she deserved to be treated better, Seol-Hee announces that she will file for divorce, during the family dinner.

Seol-Hee, determined to get her life back on track, she returns to her rock band roots, embarks on a new career as a singer for the "Madonna Band," a female group consisting of "ahjummas" (older women) who have personal problems of their own, and together they search for happiness and personal fulfillment through music.

Mean time, Jang Tae-Hyeon (Lee Jun-Hyuk), a guitarist and composer, shows great interest in Seol-Hee.

Comments

At the start of the show, the main actress transformed from a cool rocker to a classy lady. I was like wow! Cool man! But as you watched on you get extremely angry with the indifferent husband and the high handed mother-in-law who looks down on her. It is so disgusting to see that her husband and her mother in law pretending to be the best husband and mother in law in public, while they can't stand the sight of her.

Typical Korean drama....where woman fall in love get married. Husband loved her but "love her not any more". Mistress gets all the attention at first. Mother-in-law is the worst kind of mother-in-law, looks down on her. Horriblely insensitive. Feels like slapping her. LOL. She divorce him and he starts regretting his decision and now ignores the mistress?

OMG even though old fashion a very heart warming to know that such woman exist in the world. Extremely passionate towards people, when our main lead sees the middle class people at the market gets bullied by the rich family, she steps in and try to help them out. It all started out when she wanted to be her own lawyer for her divorce case. The drama is basically about a women who follows her dreams to be in a band and do something that she has always wanted to do no matter what other people think of her.

I wonder where she finds so much time to snoop around and be the lead singer of her band at the same time.

Kim Jung Eun who plays  Jun Seol Hee is really beautiful and her acting is amazing, I love her in Love in Paris, which is also a reason why I am so excited to watch I am Legent. Her character is so cool and fresh. She is awesome and the character she plays is like one of those awesome friends that everyone wishes they have.

Hong Ji-Min who plays Lee Hwa-Ja, makes the whole drama very refreshing and entertaining. Love her smile, her gestures and her cute face! She is a commical and not too commical character.

Can't say that Tae-Hyeon Seol-Hee's boyfriend, but I kinda hope that the couple will get together. Two injured person become lovey dovey to each other. They both love music, their passion for music can be a common topic for their relationship, but who says that a couple who does not have a common topic can't stay together in the first place =D

Wow, the mistress, Oh Seung Hye, annoys the hell out of me. Of cos not as much as the mother in law character, Ms Hong. Like many Korean dramas this is the kind of people you feels like jumping into the show to give them a tight slap.

About the Drama

Joo Yoo Rin is a tour guide in a small company in charge of running mini tours in the Jeju Island of South Korea. Her father is a gambling addict, but despite all the debts that he runs up, Yoo Rin always finds a way to help repay them. She leads a below-average life but is happy as long as she has her dad around her. Because of her father's gambling ways, she has had to move from country to country whenever her father runs from one place to another to avoid their debtors. This has in turn brought her the ability to converse fluently in Chinese and Japanese, which are of great help as a tour guide whenever she has to entertain tourists from China and Japan.

Seol Gong Chan is the only heir of the owner of L'Avenuel Hotel, which is one of the top hotels in Korea. His grandfather, Seol Woong, makes him in charge of the duty to find his granddaughter, who is also Gong Chan's cousin. Seol Woong had disowned his own daughter, Gong Chan's aunt, when she decided to marry a man who is not of his choice.

However, when Seol Woong had a change of heart and wished to accept his daughter back, an earthquake struck where his daughter lived, and since then, he has lost all contacts. He thinks that the only chance to make amends for his own stubbornness, will be to take care of his granddaughter and hopefully make things right.

Kim Se Hyun is the girlfriend of Seol Gong Chan. A rising star in the tennis world, she returns to Korea to look for Gong Chan since she cannot forget him.

Seo Jung Woo is the son of one of the main shareholders of L'Avenuel Hotel and also the best friend of Seol Gong Chan. Unlike Gong Chan who is responsible and hardworking, Jung Woo is a flirt who is known to have many girlfriends.

The story starts with Yoo Rin rushing to the airport. She is helping her friend delay a flight so that the tourists of her friend will not miss their flight. Out of ideas, she plays a damsel in distress, who is apparently mourning her impending death and her dying wish to see her boyfriend who is apparently on the flight.

After much crying and the airport crew empathize with her, she gets to get on board the plane to look for her boyfriend who never really existed. As she walks, she realize she cannot find anyone and pretends to faint. She faints beside the seat of our male lead, Seol Gong Chan, who sees through her act immediately.

Although their first encounter is weird, it doesn't leave much of an impression in each other's mind. Later, however, when Gong Chan had to entertain a bunch of Chinese visitors and realizes he has no translator, he engages the services of Yoo Rin and through Yoo Rin, his potential Chinese investors have a great time at the L'Avenuel Hotel branch in Jeju.

After a series of comical events including Yoo Rin staying at his hotel lodge without paying, and Yoo Rin selling his hotel fruityard's oranges to make a small profit (to clear her father's debts again), Gong Chan perceieve Yoo Rin as a cheat and he would want distance himself from her.

But then word from mainland Korea is that his grandfather is dying and at his bedside, Seol Woong, through his respirator, can only meekly repeat that he must not and cannot die until he sees his granddaughter again.

Driven by desperation and his love for his grandfather, Gong Chan would do anything to ease his burden. When pointed out by his secretary that Yoo Rin bears a resemblance to his aunt, Gong Chan hatches a plan to pass off Yoo Rin as his grandfather's long-lost granddaughter whilst he carries on searching for the real one.

Yoo Rin, who is desperate for money to repay her father's debt, is unwilling to do the job as it involves lying to a dying man, something that she staunchly refuses to do. But when Seol Gong Chan desperately begs her and she realizes she is somewhat indebted to him for not bringing her to the police after her little business in his hotel, she caves in and pretends to the long-lost granddaughter.

Things seems to be going well, with the search for Gong Chan's long-lost cousin making progress and perhaps more importantly, the improvement of Gong Chan's grandfather's conditions thanks to Yoo Rin. As Yoo Rin spends more time with Gong Chan's family, she gets showered with the love she never received as a child and finds herself drawn to Gong Chan. She finds herself changing from the liar that she once was to a person who tries to tell the truth when she can. But she knows all too well that her one-sided love will never materialize as the difference in social status between Gong Chan and herself is too big.

But unknown to her, Gong Chan is also slowly being drawn to her...

Comments

Nice drama, one of the chick flick that most girls will like again. Poor little girl, talented, kind and even though a liar due to circumstances mets prince charming and falls in love. Actually Lee Dong Wook not too much of a prince charming at first, but also a kind soul...

This drama has a good balance of hilarious moments and moments that make you tear and wrench your heart. Compared to other dramas, I laughed a lot more than I cried while watching this drama. 

Sadly, Lee Jun Ki is reduced to mere flower vase in "My Girl". LOL who is prettier? Lee Jun Ki or Lee Da Hae? Even though Lee Da Hae was absolutely eye-catching, I keep thinking that Jun Ki has such a pretty face, sometimes I thought he looks prettier then most girls.

Even though I pity Jung Woon since he was unable to win Yoo Rin's heart but I do not think that he deserve her more then Gong Chan.

The last scene when the real granddaughter was found, that was downright hilarious. Yoo Rin and Gong Chan ended up together though I am not sure if they were married in the end since it was not shown or explained, but Yoo Rin ended up living in the house with them again.

About the Drama

Based on a popular comic, this hilarious comedy follows the chaos, troubles and friendship at a boys’ boarding school after a girl-disguising-a-boy joins.

Ashiya Mizuki has just come back to Japan from California where she was raised. Mizuki's primary goal is find Sano Izumi. Many years ago, while training in the US, Sano saved Mizuki from a group of thugs. Even though she manages to escape, the bad guys caught up with Sano and one of them inflicts a nasty slash on his ankle and since then he was unable to jump properly again. Mizuki blames herself for the incident and vows to make him jump again.

Hence she enters the same high school,  Sakurazaki Academy, disguised as a boy! With a short hair, flattened chest and lowered voice, she starts sharing the same room with Sano.

When she arrives at Sakurazaki Academy, she meets Nakatsu Shoichi, a soccer player who is Sano’s good friend, Sekime Kyogo, the captain of the track team, Kashiyama Taiki, who has an ability to see a person’s aura, the beautiful Nakao Senri and Noe Shinji, the president of the manga-anime society. They are all her second year schoolmates.

There are three dorms on campus. The first dorm houses the sporty type, who is led by dorm leader, Tennoji Megumi, the captain of the karate team.

The third dorm houses the arty type who is led by the dorm leader, Oscar M Himejima (Himejima Masao), president of the drama club, while the second dorm has a mixed bunch led by dorm leader, Namba Minami, the school’s playboy.

Mizuki joins the second dorm which Sano and Nakatsu belong, and somehow becomes Sano’s roommate. Meanwhile, Mizuki finds out that the ball game competition that has been a long tradition between Sakurazaki Academy and Tokyo Academy, which Sano’s rival and fellow high jump athlete Kagurazaka Makoto attends, will be cancelled this year. Enlisting the help of Nakatsu, Namba and the others, she runs about to try to make the competition take place.

Comments

Definately a hilarious comedy...nonsensical but funny...I laughed from start till end and Ashiya Mizuki never fails to amaze me. She is so pretty, and lady like, how can these boys not know that she is a girl?! OMG

The Taiwanese version Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu (花樣少年少女) is acted by Ella a popular singer from the S.H.E. group. I have not watched it yet. But a lot of my friends told me that it really nice. I have to watch first before I can compare but the Japanese version as I can say now is really a drama worth your time to watch if you like comedy. A lot of ridiculas parts, especialy the gender detection part....LOL...

I can not imagine that the school doctor who discovered Ashiya's real gender, instead of asking her to leave the school, is actually supportive of her as long as it is to get Sano back into the track and field team.

Ikuta Toma extreme acting makes the show so enjoyable in fact every one of them are so funny...

Meanwhile, Tae-Woong stumbles upon a little girl being bullied in the street and saves her. The girl develops a crush on him and gives him her pager so that she can see him again, but they never exchange names or contacts. They promised to meet again soon, but this never happens.

During a highly anticipated International Math Olympiad, Jeong-Kyu failed to fulfill his father's expectations in winning the first place, and committed suicide in shame.

and disappears.

These tragic events take their toll on the rest of Tae Woong's life. At 25, eight years later, Tae Woong is now a third class boxer and in unexpected events, finds Bo Ra (Sung Yu Ri), the little girl he once knew. Although this winter will be very cold and scary, winter is not the end of the seasons, but the beginning of the hope for a greater love.

Eight years later, Tae Woong, now 25, is a nameless boxer, living a completely different life. He abandoned mathematics and pursued boxing in honor of Jeong-Kyu, but he still bears painful memories of his past.

In a chain of events he meets Bo-Ra (Sung Yu Ri), a beautiful, but cold-hearted young lady. She is the daughter of a rich businessman, but has an incurable disease. After a chain of events, Tae Woong is hired as her chauffer. They end up falling in love, but Tae Woong discovers that she was the little girl that he met eight years earlier, and that she is Jeong-Kyu's little sister. Tae-Woong struggles in pain about his relationship with Bo-Ra, and his returning memories of Jeong-Kyu.

Throughout the story the two learn to find true happiness by helping each other. Tae-Woong melts Bo-Ra's heart with love and helps her open up her heart. In return Bo-Ra helps Tae-Woong with his painful memories of the past.

Comments:

Anyway its a nicely plotted show.

About the Drama:

Single 33 year-old Go Byeong Hee works as a reporter for a sex magazine. 24-year-old Park Chui Su, mechanic and world traveler, is the younger brother of Byeong Hee’s best friend. He’s a free spirit and not concerned with what the world thinks. On the night after Byeong Hee found out that her first love is actually gay, the two old family friends get drunk and wake up in bed together.

Byeong Hee wants to forget it ever happened, especially since a good marriage prospect has just made an appearance in the form of a Urologist, Dr Bae Hee Myung.

Unfortunately for her Chui Su has other ideas. Unbeknownst to her, Park Chui Su has been carrying a torch for her since young and wants to pursue her. Their courtship attracts the usual cliche of older woman-younger man barks from the public. In one scene, she is mistaken as his aunt on a date.

Meanwhile, Byeong Hee’s sister, Jun Hee, 25, an aspiring model is being ‘sponsored’ by an eccentric widower who is 17 years older. She resembles his late wife. She falls in love with him but he rejects her.

Byeong Hee's mother is troubled by her daughters’ romances and prefers the doctor for a son-in-law. Park Chui Su then decides to break off with Byeong Hee when he receives his enlistment notice.

Comments:

Personally, I cannot understand how she can choose Park over the Dr Bae, who is charming and witty, not to mention rich and successful (money and career do make a man appears more attractive). In comparison, Chui Su  behaves childishly, throwing tantrums.

This is one romance series worth watching because it is fun and hilarious. There many sexual references and fantasies in the drama, the scenes on such are simply hilarious. The ending episodes when Chui Su prepares to leave for his two-year army....very touching...

A Japanese Cinderalla story where a pretty but poor young girl meets a rich handsome young man. Despite the differences in backgrounds, status and upbringing, they fall in love…

This beautiful Cinderalla story will take you to the world of your dreams and bring hope and faith to all.

Yukiko Matsui works as an accountant for a food company. She came to Tokyo 3 years ago from the small town of Noto where her parents run an inn. Living alone in a humble apartment in the big city, everyday is plain and uneventful.

A fairy tale or a romantic encounter was only a far-away dream. One day, Yukiko goes to the station to welcome her brother, Kikuo who was visiting Tokyo for the first time. At the station, Kikuo is mistaken by Masashi Takagi as his new chauffeur. Realizing his mistake, Masashi starts to walk away in the rain when Yukiko offers him her red umbrella. Their eyes meet and Masashi feels a warmth in his heart as Yukiko reminds him of his long-missing sister. Little did they know that this fateful encounter was the beginning of a fairy-tale-come-true.

Afterwards, Yukiko soon becomes aware of the fact that they have so little in common. Masashi’s father is chairman of the prestigeous “Takagi Corporation” and Masashi will take over his father’s business shortly. When Yukiko and her brother Kikuo are invited to Masashi’s party at a luxurious first-class hotel, they understand that they obviously do not belong there.

Despite her sincere love for Masashi, Yukiko makes the sad decision to leave him. Meanwhile, Kikuo falls in love with a bar hostess who turns out to be Masashi’s missing sister. Masashi on the other hand is forced by his father to marry another woman, which is a "political" marriage which will benefit the company.

The highlight is when Kikuo storms into Masashi’s wedding ceremony leading to an unforgettable dramatic ending.

Comments

Unforgettable story. Even though it has been aired since 1994. Everytime someone takes up a red umbrella, my comments to them will be what??!! Are you trying to reignit "Tokyo Cinderalla Story"?!? The red umbrella is a very prominent and symbolic item in the show.

It is really a Cinderalla story since its only a short 10 episode, how to fall in love with someone in such a short time? How can you fall in love in such a short time? The two love birds has just met each other for such a short time, on top of that seen or even met each other for a few times...Frankly, thats love right? LOL...Pure love...No politics, no business, no monetory involvement...

Who can ever forget the beautiful song that is played in the background by Chage Aska? Meguriai.

About the Drama

Gun and Ha-neul were siblings separated as children when their parents died. However this brother and sister are not actually biological siblings.

Ha-neul has been adopted into a wealthy family. Her adopted mother doted on her very much. Her adopted mother's love towards her made it hard to breathe and sometimes that is what kept her from leaving. Her adopted parents has a biological son, Tae Won, who hated her and snapped at her, yelling 'You're not my sister!''. She seems happy in the new family but she hides a deep secret that Tae Won had develops an obsessive love for Hye Won (15 years later), attempted to rape her.

Hyo-joo likes Gun the most, or rather she is totally obsessed with him. She even thinks that it's alright if her heart bursts and dies as long as she is with Gun. Hyo-joo has an over-exaggerated affection towards Gun. She dotes on Gun nearly to the point of suffocation. Hyo-joo also has a serious heart condition that requires the sort of medical attention that the Gun cannot afford. Gun, for his part, does not return Hyo-Ju's love romantically but does love her as a sister. He takes to a life of crime, bloodshed, to try to raise the money needed for her surgery, that she desperately needs.

Fifteen years later, Gun now lives in Australia, Gun hits upon the idea to return to Korea, to look up his long lost sister, Ha-Neul, and extort money from her adopted rich family.

When it is revealed that Ha-neul is Gun's younger sister, Ha-neul leaves her adopted family to live with Gun and Hyo-joo (Gun's father's friend's daughter).

At first she felt sorry for Ha-neul because she felt as if she had stolen her brother from her for the last 15 years, but Hyo-joo keeps feeling nervous, worrying that Gun is going to leave her.

Even though Ha-neul has decided to date Seung-kyung, she starts to realize that her love for her older brother is more than that of a sibling, while Gun tries to hide his love for her as well. They eventually express their love for each other.

Comments:

Totally love the songs of this show. Its very catchy especially when you leave the DVD playing in the back ground, you will not stop humming the song LOL.

The drama is lovely in a way cos of a girl who works at an aquarium as an aquarist, because of what her brother said. Who later reunites with her brother from whom she has been separated for 15 years and falls in love with each other. Even though the reality is that they are not blood related, so it shouldn't be a problem that they fall in love, it seems a bit disturbing....LOL....why must Korean life be so complicated?

There are lots of great scenery since the drama is shot in Australia, I wonder why since Korea has so many beautiful areas to be used. It uses many different kinds of underwater filming techniques, which reminds me I really like the scenes that Sung Yu Ri did inside the aquarium.

I get real frustrated with Hyo-joo, even though her lovely looks can easily erase all that LOL....I really do not understand what is it with her that she insisted on holding on to Gun even though she knows that he does not love her and just treats her like a sister? I guess she loves herself more then she loves him, cos she did not understand that she is making him miserable by hanging on to him and making him responsible for her. She has 3 guys that are willing to die for her. Her Dad...."Dad you would die for me right?" "Of course!''....Her brother "Brother you would also die for me right?" "Yeah, sure."....Last but not least...our lead...Gun....."Gun, die for me!" "Alright." She grew up overprotected by these three men. I wonder whether she is fortunate or not...since she can never have what she always wanted...Gun's love (as in terms of man towards a woman, even though he has brotherly love towards her)

Its strange that Kang Dong Ha seems to understand Ha-neul, who even though has always been smiling, was really crying on the inside.

About the Drama:

Riiko Izawa is a simple temp worker, who has never had a boyfriend and she has been rejected by every boy she has ever had a crush on. When she returns a lost cell phone to an oddly dressed salesman, she mentions wanting a boyfriend so to thank her, he directs her to his company's website. When she visits the site, Riiko finds it's a site to create your own lover. Thinking its a game, she customizes and accidentally orders one.

Little did Riiko know that the odd salesman is actually Kronos Heaven, a Robot developer, he had finally developed "Night Tenjo", the perfect male humanoid programmed to be devoted and completely loyal to his lover and is programmed to be the perfect boyfriend

The next day, Riiko's new lover arrives. Following the instruction manual, she kisses him to wake him up and configure him to be in love with only her. She names him "Night."

Three days later, she is shocked to learn that she only had him for a free trial. The salesman, Gaku Namikiri, tells her that she must now pay 100,000,000 yen for Night, or they will waive the fee if she helps them to collect data about how women think and feel to help perfect future models.

Riiko must keep Night's true nature of not being human a secret from everyone around her. She also finds herself in a love triangle between Night and a distinguished young executive at her company Soshi, who declares his love for her out of fear that he will lose her.

At first, Riko only sees Night as a household appliance. At the mean time, Night begins to develop real human emotions, which enables him to truely love Riiko, but this also caused him to develop system malfunctions. When Riiko almost loses Night due to the malfunctions, she realizes that had fallen in love with him. She apologizes to Soshi and rejected him.

Night begins to grow weaker and weaker. The problem is caused by exceeding usage of his abilities and eventually it caused his machinery to stop working, resulting in his "death".

Before he died, he wrote a letter directed to Soshi telling him what was happening and asking him to take care of Riiko. Gaku Namikiri then sent the letter to Soshi, which brings him back to Japan to be at Riiko's side again after giving her some time to grieve over Night's "death".

Comments:

Frankly speaking I will still choose a real guy compared to a robot that is made for me. In fact an absolute boyfriend is something too good to be true =)

Hayami Mokomichi, is extremely charming in the drama, I can not imagine how can a person look so perfect, especially without clothes LOL...perfect body....He looks perfectly like a robot. An extremely handsome robot. I saw the Taiwanese version of Absolute boyfriend, which is also known as "Absolute Darling" or "Jue Dui Darling" (絕對達令) but the "robot" there can not compare to the "robot" in the Japanese version.

I heard that there is a special episode of the drama, and since my friend told me it's best to leave the show as it is and not watch the special episode I did not dare to watch it and spoil the beautiful show.....sad....but beautiful...

5 years later In Jung met Yong Ki when he came to the small village.

But In Jung and Yong Ki have already fallen in love with each other. Will In Jung go back to her first love or stay with Yong Ki?

Comments:

I was drawn to the drama because of actress Lee Yo Won as i really like her acting in "Surgeon Bong Dal Hee" and have been looking forward to her next drama. So without thinking I just went ahead and bought the drama...

OMG please! How pathetic can life be for In Jung? (I am now talking about the character in the drama...sigh...) What can be worst then living in misery like her? If you are looking for a romantic or a chick flick, please don't watch this show...You will definitely cry your eyes out...I can not imagine anything worst or sadder then being in her shoes....

Fact is I being a woman totally do not agree with her being a third party...but I can't help being sorry for her. She could have done better then suffering through what she had gone through. This drama showed all the worst things that could have happened to a mistress.

How can she be in any dilemma at all? Third party? No no!

Woman...could have been smarter....

Comments:

A very heart warming and touching drama serial, commical and horriblely ridiculas. I love the way Kim Dang Ja wants to have her own baby even though she is single and sets her mind to do it. Totally love the show, even though the leads are not the best looking couple, they really make you enjoy the show with their wonderful acting.

Sadly one of the DVD that I bought are kinda of scratched and I missed a few scenes of the show. The shop owner said will change the disc for me but never did that...sigh...

About the Drama:

This drama is the political ideology of King Lee Hwon, a fictional king of Joseon Dynasty. The story revolves around the love between Lee Hwon, and his lover Wol, a female shaman, whom he is ready to give all his life.

The drama also talks about the natural of right-positioning in a mythical and supernatural manner. Every element should be set in its proper place. It illustrate just how dangerous it is for the sun and the moon to swerve off course the solar system, the whole world can be in danger when things stray from their original path. Where by Lee Hwon is the sun and Wol is the moon.


Yeon Woo, whom was born of a noble family, being choosen by the King due to her wits and good nature, she was betroth to Lee Hwon, the crown prince. In fact the crown prince, Lee Hwon fell in love with her on first sight when they accidently met in the palace at young age.

But Yeon Woo was being cursed by a shaman, who was ordered by people who are both jealous and fearful of her family and also worried that she wil become the future queen and lose power politically.

Yeon Woo was saved but she lost her memory and subsequently grew up as a shaman, she was never given a name until she coincidently met her destiny, the love of her life, the current King. She was named Wol, which means moon (also cos she reminds the King of the moon when she saved him from being lost in the woods due to heavy fog).

Lee Hwon was devastated after Yeon Woo's death, he became a callous and uncaring king. Lee Hwon began to returned back to his original kind nature after meeting Wol, but he was in a dilemma as he found out the truth that his grandmother and sister were involved in the plot behind the death of Yeon Woo.

The drama also shows the bond between the two princes, Yang Myung and Yeon Woo. Yeon Woo who is the crown prince looks forward to spending time, meeting and learning from his elder brother, prince Yang Myung.

Yang Myung who lives outside the palace is a knowledgeable young man, he was very careful whenever he is around his father and tries very hard to please him. Even though he did not think so or know, his father dotes on him a lot. He was in love with Yeon Woo too. He her for the first time on the streets full of people gathering to have a chance to see the King, Yang Myung was able to recognise, or rather he thought that Yeon Woo had came from the nether world just to catch a glimpse of her lover, Lee Hwon.

Comments:

Nice show! I totally find it amazing that Yeon Woo can run around the palace with no body to stop her and she wondered off following a yellow butterfly. A butterfly! How original....LOL....Kinda so sweet when the two kids met for the first time. Also typical but still find it nice.

The little little parts of their little romantic encounter is so deeply imprinted in Yeon Woo's and also Lee Hwon mind that when they fianlly meet up 8 years later, their actions reminded them of each other.

I kind of pity prince Yang Myung, he is like the elder brother and everything his brother has, could have been his, even his love. I extremely felt that its a pity especially when he recognize his love and thought that she is a ghost wanting to have a look at the King when he first saw her after so many years.

Yeon Woo's servant girl is so loyal, she kept her promise to Yeon Woo's brother, Heo Yeom to take care of her. At first, I thought she is in love with Woon.

I can not imagine that Princess Min Hwa, who is a very innocent character but the one but biggest mistake she has done is blinded her love for Heo Yeom. I would think it was unnecessary for her to do what she had done. Given the fact that Heo Yeom is so knowledgeable, I am very sure if she ask her father, the King to bestow her to Heo Yeom will be a very simple thing. Really did not understand why she had agreed to being the "catelyst" in cursing her sister-in-law. The grand mother is really evil in pulling her into the whole problem.

This is a very sweet show, a little comical, mysterious, magical all in one. A very nice show to watch if you don't think too much about things being logical or not.
