(3)Our Price: US$51.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysMarch 12, 2008 extremely disappointingI like Hyun Bin. That was why I bought this drama. Unfortunately he doesn't look good with his moustache and his acting is poor. I do wish Korean men would stop wearing the out of fashion Beatles hairstyle. The only good acting comes from the lady who played Hyun Bin's mother. The whole story is just rubbish and everything could have ended in the penultimate epistle but no, it drags on boring you to death for one last epistle with nothing at all worth seeing. So unless you are crazy over Hyun Bin, and don't mind him with a moustache throughout, then give this a miss. The girl (and the one playing her junior too) is a real pain.

(3)Our Price: US$19.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysFebruary 10, 2008 good endingA woman wanted to revenge her lover but when she met him years later, she felt in love with him all over again. She gave him many opportunities to repent but he only focused on wealth and power but wanted love as well. It is not a bad drama and fans of Kwon Sang Woo can watch it with an extra bonus because this is one of the very early dramas Kwon did and he is very funny. I like the ending of how this woman tidied up all her affairs and forgave everyone who had done wrong to her and hopefully the man she so loved would become a good person in the end. Again like many other Korean stories, we fully applaud the 'other man'(2nd male lead) who loves this woman so deeply by being just her friend but put her first in everything.

(1)Our Price: US$53.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysFebruary 10, 2008 silly and a bit boringWhy do all the Korean women have to emphasize their facial expressions all the time in comedies? Here you see Han Ji Min acting exactly like the monkey who followed the Buddhist monk to India. However if you can pass through her most annoying expressions during the first few epistles, then you will see that she is quite alright and agree that she looks absolutely gorgeous at the end when she was engaged. The story is very silly and the staff at the kindergarden seem to be in the school day and night doing everything else but proper teaching. The only good performers here are actually the children. The drama drags on and on and on to produce 17 epistles instead of just a film of 90 minutes. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring DVD Region 3
(13)Our Price: US$18.99List: US$23.99Save: US$5.00 (21%)February 10, 2008 beautiful sceneriesThere were lots of buttons to press at the beginning of this DVD and they are all written in Korean. I couldn't try pressing (or guess) all of them so I just had to watch the whole film without subtitles. Fortunately it is not too difficult to understand what was going on. The little monk was punished the same way as what he did to the three little creatures and he then realized what he had done wrong. You really wanted to kill him when he did horrible things but when the child cried so genuinely and that he knew he was in the wrong, you totally forgave him. The cycle went round again at the end when another little monk did virtually what the previous little monk had done. You can tell Koreans are not very kind to animals or pets. The scenes are stunning however, especially autumn with the most beautiful colours and crystal clear water. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(2)Our Price: US$10.99Usually ships within 7 daysFebruary 10, 2008 ???This film might catch your attention from start to finish but it's only because you have to concentrate to see what's going on. One of the twins misses her dead sister so much she hangs mirrors all round her room so she could look into them thinking her sister is there. I thought that was very clever. However the end is a little confusing and I don't quite know what to make of it. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Cohabitation
January 21, 2008 daringA simple little light hearted story but I was surprised to see so many sex scenes. The two female leads, though not fantastically famous but nevertheless quite known to TVB audiences, are so prepared to take off their clothes. Watch out for Mrs. GAY and the little wash hair boy. They are both quite funny. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Sound Of Colors (Ep.1-23) (End) (China Version)
January 21, 2008 most touching dramaThis drama shows that not just the Koreans can produce wonderful love stories with beautiful people. When the Chinese put their minds together they can do even better. Lin is a beautiful girl who plays her role excellently and to my surprise we see here a really good looking Chinese boy to match. The drama was also supported by everyone in the cast who all did extremely well. There is a beginning, middle and a very touching sad ending. The very unusual thing about this great drama is that there is no baddie in the show! Everyone is so good and caring it is a good example to set and so refreshing too. If you haven't seen it, and if you like Stairway to heaven, I suggest you get it NOW. Highly recommended. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Soo (VCD) (Korea Version)
January 21, 2008 very disappointingI thought this is a good film but bitterly disappointed after seeing it. It contains the American disease, ie. short of electricity because every scene is so dark you can't even see your own fingers. Also people are being knived and shot many times, yet they still get up and walk. The female lead is supposed to be a cop, but she didn't act like one till the end. I do not understand why scenes were being deleted because those scenes are actually shot in the light and they made the story a bit more complete, especially the end.

January 21, 2008 an excellent dramaThis drama starts off real fascinating and continues to be so till the end except for a couple of weaker epistles in the middle. Lee Jun Ki always plays beautifully in whatever role he is offered. 'Ji Woo' the female lead, is one of the very few most pleasant Korean actresses. The generosity of Lee's adopted parents, the brotherly love, the guilt and love the ex NIS agent had for Lee..all these plus more are going to touch you deeply but I found that in Korean dramas usually 2 males fighting for the same girl. So often nobody listens to anybody's feeling but in this drama Min Ki actually married the girl who loves him rather than persisting on Ji woo. There are some little hicups occasionally, however, such as Chief Jang actually survives the big explosion etc. but nothing to spoil your enjoyment in watching this action packed wonderful drama with a pair of lovely people. It is definitely worth getting even if just to see Lee's superb performance.. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(3)Our Price: US$98.99December 30, 2007 very sillyThere is hardly any story there. We see another pretty female Korean lead who only knows how to stare with big eyes and wide opened mouth. The criminals are just as stupid, having wasted all that time chasing a witness. What a big joke. The male lead (policeman) is not at all convincing. In real life no one will choose him over the doctor. Anyway when are we going to see some bright Korean female leads? Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

This film based on a true story unveiled the dark period when Korea was under military regime. A lot of scenes are bloody but the last 30 minutes was very touching. The love and trust amongst prisoner friends pierced deep into your heart. It was such a very very unfair world. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

The older brother though only 12 looked after his younger brother well and behaves so matured. The third boy in the movie, who was very ill fought his illness bravely and faces it with a smile. An example to us all. An enjoyable film. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Shall We Kiss aka: First Kiss (US Version)
December 30, 2007 definitely note romanticSketches were built round the word 'kiss' and thus you get this boring movie. Choi doesn't look all that innocent and male lead looks scruffy and not a bit matching Choi.. However the kissing scene at the end was done well though the whole film might send you off to sleep.

December 12, 2007 very goodKoreans seem not to care if the one you so madly love doesn't love you back. All they want is to possess at all costs. This drama is another example. The story is old but you are still going to enjoy it. I feel that the main female lead has been badly cast. She doesn't look convincing of her role. Would it be another one perhaps viewers would feel much more for her. As always the end epistle always drag on unnecessary. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$40.99December 12, 2007 light hearted comedyAs I watched, I realize how good an actress Park Jin Hee is. The husband is annoying, but he is funny in his own little ways. I think the No. 1 is good too and I would give anything to have a mother in law like Soon Ae's. However the oscar winning award goes to the little son. He is excellent. He is sure to steal your heart. When he cries you will cry with him. The story line might be a bit silly but nevertheless, if that's what happens to women who had affairs with other women's husbands, it would be fun. Everyone performs very well.

December 12, 2007 boring awful dramaYou will be pondering how could a brother and a sister acting exactly like lovers? Turned out that they are not related in blood after all. The main girl Ho Na is extremely frustrating. The only word she could utter throughout is 'what'. She has lots of difficulties in understanding anybody because she always asks 'what', and she finds it difficult to speak too. The supporting cast is actually better and more enjoyable than the two main very dull characters. I am fed up with all these dumb type girls. Could we ever see any bright ones for a change?

November 11, 2007 the ending is superBeautiful costumes and Kim HN is more good looking here than any of her other dramas/films. This is another story of a man who couldn't forget his first love that you feel a little sorry for his poor wife. The ending, sad as it is, however, is very refreshing and sweet.

The main leads are not attractive but thanks to the script there are lots of good epistles. When Chu is pleased with himself, his expression is fantastic, just make you smile. A light hearted drama which is very well done. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
