Jing Hua Yan Yun (Vol.1-44) (End) (China Version) DVD Region All
(2)Our Price: US$55.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:November 1, 2009 well doneDespite of quite a few inconsistencies, this drama is definitely worth watching. Chinese culture and traditions were well
illustrated throughout. The last 8 epistles were particularly captivating. Everyone performed brilliantly. It is good
to see close knit families and specially refreshing to see a mother in law, especially of that period, who truly so loved
her daughter in law. The Yeo family was very liberal for that time of history as well. It is comforting to see baddies
always get what they deserve. Don't miss it!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(2)Our Price: US$10.99Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:September 28, 2009 clever scriptI wrote a very bad review three years ago. Then I heard that one of the main female characters committed sucide because she couldn't get herself out of the role. That was when I decided to watch again. Second time round I had a complete different view. Perhaps I was very confused with the girls who all look alike the first time I watched. Once you sorted out who's who, you will begin the appreciate all the clever twists and it will leave you speechless towards the end. So just get yourself a copy and sit back to enjoy this sort of brilliant film. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$16.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:September 28, 2009 definitely a mustAs captivating and most enjoyable as 'the king and the crown' but more serious and not at all suitable for children. All the three main casts did remarkably well. A film that captures your attention from start to finish without a moment of wondering off. Even the subtitles are big and easy to read. Well done.

(1)Our Price: US$9.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:September 28, 2009 okThe Bejing dialect is very hard to understand while the subtitles are far too small for reading. It was hard work watching. I was hoping to learn a bit more about Mui's life... Also you can never see the actors' faces clearly due to lazy cameras. Zheung Chi Yee is too short to play a male opera role. Very disappointing after waiting so long for this.l Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$39.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:September 3, 2009 worth watchingThere are quite a few discrepancies but nevertheless the story line is good. Fan Bin Bin seems to be the only one who gets all the hardships and misfortunes and had been betrayed by everyone (except Wallace) she was kind to. Some of the characters are not entirely bad but they all encountered terrible endings apart from the vicious Ah Tao who might be even more wicked in a way than others but she had been forgotten at the end. She really deserved a worser ending than anyone else. This is a typical Chinese drama of that period, always with a so called 7th grand uncle there to spoil it for you. However there are a few twists at the end, even though they might not make too much sense..and finally after 'Underground' and 'emerald on the roof', we can at last see another of Wallace's good drama.

September 3, 2009 could be betterThough this drama is a vast improvement from Kwon's last one, namely the awful awful 'bad love', the script is still far from being captivating. Kwon looks absolutely majestic from the 9th epistle on (when he got rid of his Beatles style hairdo). However, young as he looks, matching him with someone 14 years his junior just didn't quite work out. There is no chemistry whatsoever between them. Whenever they are together, there is always an air of awkwardness. The poor story didn't help, nor did the inexperienced female lead. Having said that, if you are a KSW fan, then his stunning look, his smooth acting, his smart attire etc. etc. should keep you very satisfied in this otherwise, quite dull drama.

(1)Our Price: US$310.49Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:September 3, 2009 a bit boringThere is nothing special about this drama. In fact most of the time it is quite boring. The little boy is ugly but he is quite funny at times whilst the little girl is also ugly but can be annoying sometimes. Bae was still very young, cannot say he was outstanding. The worst acting came from Hee Su, In Pyo's girl friend who only has one or two expressions on her face but you totally draw a blank to what she was trying to express.

(1)Our Price: US$45.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:September 3, 2009 must seeAn absolutely captivating drama from start to finish without a single dull epistle despite of it being so long. There are sad moments here and there but all the tears had been saved for the last 6 epistles, so be sure to get the tissues handy. Ji Yong Seon (played by the beautiful and elegant actress Han) is just 1st class. She is the column of the whole show. Wang Moo (played by the most charming Lee Tae Gon) is sure to melt every girl's heart. I was a bit disappointed though at the ending as a few of the characters had not been concluded and the most wicked person, Ja Gyeong's stepmother, got away with all her unforgivable wrong doings. It was also unfair that punishment fell on Ja Gyeong's biological father and grandmother instead. Ja Gyeong's character, is ok but not entirely convincing and she could be very annoying sometimes. Still, this is probably one of the very best dramas of all times. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

(1)Our Price: US$69.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:July 28, 2009 complete failureI was wondering why this drama was buried quietly... And it was rightly so. Apart from the uninteresting story, the director's method of filming had to be criticized severely. He likes filming from peoples' back and 99% of the drama, you can only see half or 3/4 of the cast's faces. How frustrating. With regard to Kang Du, he is more rigid than a plank. He always stood there motionlessly at a fixed spot or just walk 2 steps. You usually find him on the right hand side of the screen and you would never be able to see him properly full front view. After the first couple of epsitles I just had had enough of everybody's side faces. I felt a little sorry for SeVen though because he is quite a good looking guy. Did you find this review helpful?

The ending was sort of expected but in an unexpected way. Perhaps we should take time to ponder about all these social problems in our society so may be, we can make the world a better place.

(1)Our Price: US$58.00Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:July 28, 2009 very poorI only bought this because of Rain's excellent performance in 'full house' but I was utterly disappointed. The sequence of events was so poorly edited that at times you thought you missed watching something. However Rain and Lee Dong Gun both did well, with cute little Bori holding the show together. The main problem lies entirely with Kong Hyo Jin. It was an enormous mistake to have casted her. She is a pain in the neck and she drove everyone nuts when crying. After her hideous performance in 'snow flakes' and now this - I would definitely avoid anything remotely connected with her. Compliments though to the hairdressers' behind the scenes. They did a fantastic job with the boys. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$19.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:June 18, 2009 Glad I've finished...I don't remember watching a Korean drama with both male leads so very unpleasant. It is indeed a bizarre friendship between a rich man and a low life punk. Despite of all the ill treatments Cho Jae Hyun received, I just do not have any sympathy for him at all. Cha In Pyo's actions and laughs are very annoying when he acts wicked. There were a few minor inconsistancies but the ending was a little unpredicted. Did you find this review helpful?

(2)Our Price: US$55.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:June 7, 2009 very disappointingThis is not one of the very bad Korean dramas but it is not at all an interesting one. Ha Ji Won utterly failed to impress while Kim Min Joon has yet to do something presentable. I don't like the swivel method of scenes when fightings were involved. I thought there would be lots of cases to solve but instead the whole series was concentrating on investigating illegal coins. Even the very experienced Lee Moon Sik could not lift the dull atmosphere of this unmoving drama. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

The two main leads can hardly convinced anyone that they are a married couple. Over and over they quarrelled and made up. There are not really anything new to watch. The two school girls are annoying and killed the show whenever they appeared. Though I didn't think that even at 18 one can be as childish as Park's character, I like her very much. She can show you what a happy happy person looks like. Watch out for the 'baby' at the end of the series, you might not think too much of this drama, but you are bound to finish with a big smile on your face. Did you find this review helpful?

This is a very expensive drama considering what you are getting. The plot is as old as the drama itself. Hee Ae is sweet but unfortunately she is overshadowed by the very irritating Shi Nae who had far more parts to play. The chef and his assistant are both real childish. Fans of Kwong Sang Woo would be delighted to see him but non fans will be wondering why he is so popular. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Poor Min Su Yeon had a year of hppinesee with the man she loved but spent 10 years in grief and misery in loving him and still couldn't forget him. I was so sure In Ha was going to end up dead but unexpectedly we get a happy ending. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
