(1)Our Price: US$25.99Related promotions:February 20, 2009 thumb downA man and a woman cannot possibly be just good friends. So this very boring drama seems to say. The way the two main leads behaved towards each other did indeed make it impossible. The female lead overacts in most occasions, while the male lead only has a few same expressions on his face throughout. The young pitcher boyfriend on the other hand is quite funny with his big baby acts. Waste of time to drag through all 16 epistles but if you must, then stay away from English subtitles. .it will only confuse you further. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$19.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:January 18, 2009 very longYou can watch this while doing something else at the same time and still know what is going on. A bit boring with all the business tactics but if every business man is like this lot, then the world would not be in such a financial turmoil at this moment. There are indeed lots of things one can learn from this extraordinary man, Lin, of that period about how to be a really good businessman. For anyone who wants to be a proper merchant, this is a must.

You can take it or leave it because like most of the action dramas and films, it is very silly. However if you got a lot of time on your hand, then by all means watch it just for fun. Three or four epistles near the end are the best of the whole series with a little surprise installed. Once again Wallace is disappointing. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Though he is a male chauvinist, he is rather sweet in his own way. With such a young, handsome, successful, rich golden bachelor who loves her and wants to protect her, the least she could do is to make a little sacrifice so as to please him. There are little discrepancies throughout but just ignore them and enjoy. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$19.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:January 18, 2009 not to be missedThere are no handsome male in this excellent drama but there is definitely no shortage of beautiful women with lovely costumes. Not a single dull moment throughout the 30 epistles. Everyone performed outstandingly well. I particularly admire the saintly figure of the Empress with her wisdom and understanding. Had she lived longer, her beloved daughter, 17th Princess, might had a different story to tell. The history side, perhaps might not be accurate but nevertheless this drama has a very high entertaining value. Don't miss it! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 3, 2008 well doneThis drama starts off extremely slow pace. I almost gave up because it was so depressing seeing yi San's enemies forever having the upper hand. However if you can patiently sit through the first one third of the series I promise you will be rewarded with the rest of the very interesting drama right through to the very end. It was when Hung KR came into the picture when the game slowly turned round in Yi San's favour. Without Hung, Yi san would have died a couple of times over let alone got to the throne. Hung's character is one of the best ever written. His loyalty always lies with his emperor although he did keep you guessing all the time(and you never completely trust him). Despite of his many blunders the emperor found heart to forgive him every time. Sadly he spent his last days in exile thinking he would never be able to see his emperor again. This desperation eventually led to his prematured death. Song Yeon's life is in a way quite tragic. Having forced to be separated from her baby brother after she lost her parents, she was not well treated by her 'colleagues' in the beginning. The emperor's mother also rejected her. She lost her young son and finally died of an incurable disease. Yi San (King Jeong Jo) on the other hand had a hard life also. Having lost his father through power struggle he was continuously doubted by his grandfather. He survived a few assassination attempts, had to fight hard to marry the only girl he loved, only to lose her as well as his beloved young son to illnesses. There are two outstanding saintly characters in the story. The first being Dai Shao's uncle who tenderly brought up his nephew and friend of nephew - Song Yeon and cared for the two of them more than a father would. The other one is the empress-Yi San's wife. Knowing her husband did not love her (though he greatly respected her) she made sure that he could marry the girl he so loved. She was kind and loving towards Song Yeon,sharing her happiness and misfortunes. Near the end I still feel sad that Hung KR was no longer there to see the emperor's many achievements. The last epistle is sad but very touching with all the memories flushing back. After all this is a very long series. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

(1)Our Price: US$63.99Related promotions:November 3, 2008 highly recommendedI bought this to see Lee Jun Ki actually thinking that it is going to be very silly. However I was in for the most pleasant surprise. It is a little like 'My lovely Sam Soon' but for me this is far far better. You might dislike the female lead to begin with but I assure you you'll soon find her very funny. Her character is so well complimented by the seriousness of the male lead who is very fine looking The translation could be a bit confusing at times and the story is by no means perfect but you will enjoy every single epistle and you will end up with a big smile on your face at the end. The theme songs are good too and played at the right moment. I like also to hear the views of the four main cast at the very end of this drama. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(5)Our Price: US$86.99List: US$111.99Save: US$25.00 (22%)Related promotions:October 23, 2008 very sorry to say...Having waited for years Kwon eventually came out with this long awaited drama. However despite of the 110% efforts he put in; despite of his incredibly good look and despite of his flawless acting this drama is definitely a thumb down. It is a drag to go through one epistle and only Kwon's fans can finish the series. The lack of good dialogue; the extremely limp story line; the director but most of all the scriptwriter are all to blame. Kwon's talents : his cries; his kissing; his stripping etc. had all been unnecessarily exploited. I hope Kwon will be more selective in picking his next project so that we fans can all look forward to another hit like 'stairway to heaven'. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$19.99Related promotions:October 23, 2008 not a good dramaThis drama seems extremely long simply because the story is uninteresting. Until near the end Chan C Ch (played by Yeung KY) is a real pain.Why Wallace loves her so much is beyond anyone. May be some men like to be bullied by their women. I feel a little sorry for the one playing Wallace's sister (though I don't like her much) but she actually had done nothing wrong - she didn't try to break up her brother's marriage or anything. In actual fact it was Yeung who was in the wrong most of time. Towards the end I had to fast forward because it is just getting a bit too much. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Love And The City (Taiwan Version)
October 23, 2008 surprisedAnother sort of gangsters film but not quite. Leon plays a very unlucky son of Ng MT where everything he did turned negative. You would have thought he would end up dead for sure but then came the surprised but prolonged ending. Miss Ng is one of the rare beauty and it is so refreshing to see a bad guy became a good citizen and survived to a good ending. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

The only character shone through is the gangster who is madly in love with the girl who works as a journalist. His love is so sweet and he touched her heart in the very end. If you absolutely have nothing else better to do then you can see if this drama can amuse you. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$55.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:October 23, 2008 no substanceThis is just another violent rubbishy film a bit like Kwon's other one 'Running Wild' except this time he plays a baddie rather than a cop. However even with his incredibly good look he is unable to save the film because of its very poor storyline and how the film was being handled. Kwon's fans were all looking forward to this with great expectations but it is a complete let down though not through any fault whatsoever of Sang Woo's. Shame. Did you find this review helpful?

He shows the greatest love for the woman he loves (though a bit daft and very impractical) but the woman Moo BB was not touched by his perfect love. Wallce said he loves BB but surely not behaving that way. There is a good story line but unfortunately it had not been thought through to perfection. Therefore creating a lot of unreasonable happenings. All is revealed at the end which is a little predictable yet in a somewhat surprised way. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$69.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:October 12, 2008 thoroughly enjoyableThough this is a very long drama but every epistle is very entertaining. Su Ying and her father are so natural you would have thought their relationships are real. It is very comforting to see that everyone can forgive those who did them wrong and families live so happy together. Everyone cares for one another. if this is in real life the world would be such a better place. All performs well but Su Ying's father definitely deserves an Oscar. When he smiles the viewers feel happy with him. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
