June 17, 2006 10/10This was my first Korean movie that i've watched in a cinema this year and i have to say i was blown away by this show.Superb acting from both Jang Dong Gun and Lee Jong Jae where it epitomise between revenge and doing what was right in protecting and sacrificing for the country.Full blown action movie and the fighting sequence was whoa !
One of the must buy movie.Never knew that Korea was capable of coming out good movies which is at par with some of the notoble Hong Kong movies.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Fox And Cotton Candy (Vol.1-26) (To Be Continued) (Taiwan Version)
Fox And Cotton Candy (Vol.1-26) (To Be Continued) (Taiwan Version) DVD Region All
(1)Our Price: US$26.99Related promotions:June 16, 2006 not that great....This show had just finished showing on my local tv and well,it's not too bad but i wouldn't say it's a great show.Reason being is that i've not heard of a substitute teacher that doesn't teaches a single subject in school.What's the point of just being a classroom teacher then?
Basically,this lou pu ti character used to be a student in the school and some years later,she was hired to keep an eye on a boy(whose stepmother is the director of the school)from causing problems but eventually the school boy fell in love with her and to make matter worst,the stepbrother fell in love with her as well which resulted in love triangle.
Thank goodness the show doesn't just focus on the 3 main characters but it also reflects further on the students of her class individually of their problems and how did she helped them out.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 16, 2006 Something different....This is an excellent show except i have to agree with one of the reviewer here which i also questions on some of the abrupt ending to some of the supporting casts' characters;did sam soon's sister eventually got together with the chef and why is the secretary always so dull and lifeless,how and why was she adopted by Jun Hin's mother.
However,other than that,the show was good and it's refreshing to have a character which isn't perfect in looks,outspoken,brash and spontaneous whom like some of us are always dealing in our daily lives in relationships,eating habit,work problems related and etc....For a good looking guy,Jun Hin to even fall in love with a girl like her later on proves that looks isn't important when it comes to falling in love but the personality of the girl.
This is a show that is a must buy.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 16, 2006 only some tracks are good....After going through it,i generally prefer the songs sang by the artiste especially by j and howl than the instrumental music.Only few of the instrumental songs are nice to listen to.However,i wish that they have included more artiste singing than music.Probably also because i've not seen the show yet for me to relate the music with the show.Hoping they would come out with english subtitle dvd.Still would prefer "my girl" soundtrack which is far better.

June 10, 2006 worth watching...this series weren't too bad.excellent acting from both the main cast and the supporting actors.Imagine of having to face the difficulties in expressing your love to a future sister-in-law whom likes the elder brother and the plot got more interesting and intense as the story evolved.But luckily,it was a happy ending.

(193)Our Price: US$38.99List: US$74.99Save: US$36.00 (48%)Related promotions:June 10, 2006 one of the best ever.....Simply loved this show and i just hooked on it when it was aired in my country.Ji Seong is so good looking in here and Yoo Jin's character as someone who believed in true love but had to go through all the ups and downs in convincing him and helping to regain his memory was remarkable.Although i would've prefer to have an english subtitle version,i am quite content in having this taiwan version first until the other comes out....A good show and would reccommend to purchase this show.

June 6, 2006 not too bad....This was shown a while back in my country and i have to say it's like a typical story of 2 man liking the same woman.Acting wise were not too bad and the story is fill with laughter,sadness,downside and all the emotions.However,i guess i didn't quite expect the ending.Not exactly my favourite since i'm the type that prefers a happy ending.Still,worth seeing but don't think it's worth buying.

Love Yoo Jin in here who has to make a decision between giving up her own dream and raising her own child.Jae Won is excellent here as well but i love most of all the adorable little girl whom acted very well.To have to grow up all of a sudden and become parents at a young age and having to overcome all the odds and making sacrifices,decisions and learning to understand one another better as time goes by makes the show interesting as it relates a lot to our daily live that we're in.Did you find this review helpful?

(34)Our Price: US$67.99List: US$103.99Save: US$36.00 (35%)Related promotions:May 17, 2006 wish they reprint this dvd....This is another very good show.It's more of like Ko Su's character was given a second chance in his life to make things right by clearing his name and avenge those whom had deceit and accused him even if he wasn't guilty at all.I've to say that very good on-screen chemistry between Ko Su and Lee Da Hae,whom is one of my favourite now and hope she acts more in time to come....
However,i wish that SBS or the vendor will reprint this english subtitled version soon as i'm sure there are still many of us whom hasn't managed to purchase it and would love to own one.I will be one of the first to get hold of this if it's out again.Did you find this review helpful?

SuperbAnother very good show and to have it all shown in Paris was marvellous.Potrays how love can also be found even though you're alone in other country and very much like a Cinderella story.Park Shin Yang may not be good looking but i would say he's more of a distinguised kind of look and the more i saw him here,the more i feel that he ain't that bad looking and his acting was good.
As for Kim Jung Eun,she was good here as well and i just love her character here.Feel so sorry for Lee Dong Gun's character though whom also is in love with Tae-Young but have to let it go eventually.
Would definately buy this box set before it gets sold off !Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

This show was excellent and extremely strong and credible performance from rain and hye kyo.The supporting casts were excellent as well as without them,this show also won't be a success other than the 2 main casts.Hye Kyo has now remain as one of my favourite korean actress of all time.
When i purchased this DVD,it was worth it even though it was expensive and i would advised those who haven't purchase it yet to grab it while you can before it ran out of stocks.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 6, 2006 As good As Full House and Sweet 18.....I have to say i had wish the drama had lasted for more than 16 episodes as it's very entertaining,funny and hilarious and also sad and makes you cry.Suffice to say,at least i'm glad that this is a happy ending show.All the casts had very good on-screen chemistry and Lee Da Hae's potrayal in this character was excellent and as a happy go lucky girl compared to the one in Green Rose.
In addition,they've also release this DVD at the right time when South Korea is promoting Jeju Island as this year's tourist destination.Here,they show a much better view of how Jeju Island looks like and also one of their tallest builing,Building 63.Looking forward to see Dong Wook and Da Hae in more dramas together.
Recommended people to purchase this DVD as it's worth it.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
