Ultra Blue (Japan Version)
3 people found the following helpful
August 16, 2006 disappointing...I was always a big fan of Utada until her american CD which I think is really bad. Yes, compared to the american CD, this album has improve a lot, but still not as good as deep river.
Some songs have beautiful melody then the chlorus' s melody goes bad, and it just ruins all. Utada' s voice is really ennoying when she does those high pitched notes. There' s always something that ruin the whole song in every songs... Something I just don' t like. I' m really disappointed at Utada, because her style changes from great to bad. And so does her lyrics that are not as good as before.

Sad Love Story - Josho Dai 2 Ban (DVD+Photo Book)(Making of) (Japan Version)
Sad Love Story - Josho Dai 2 Ban (DVD+Photo Book)(Making of) (Japan Version) DVD Region 2
(5)Our Price: US$106.49Related promotions:November 19, 2005 Just good.It was really interesting to watch. The story was good. But there' re lots of dramas better than this one to me. I don' t think Kim Hee Sun was a good choice for the part... Her acting was a little disappointing. As for Sang Woo, his acting was really great, but I thought he was a little girlish... Too crazy about love... Always thinking about Hae-in everytime, everywhere, can' t live without her, can' t be away from her, can' t breath without her... Pride and manliness lacked here... The ending wasn' t really good to me. I rated 4 1/2 stars based on buying value. I would' ve put 3 stars for other values such as storyline, characters, morals, etc... But despite all the flaws, it' s really worth buying, the music alone makes it worthwhile. The drama? Not the best, but it' s a very good deal. I think the drama does deserve attention.

All About Eve (MBC TV Series) (US Version)
All About Eve (MBC TV Series) (US Version) DVD Region All
(109)Our Price: US$74.99List: US$99.99Save: US$25.00 (25%)Related promotions:November 2, 2005 Not one of the best.Everyone said this was great and amazing, but after watching it, I thought it wasn' t that good. The beginning was really interesting but after the first 3 episodes, everything is just going round and round. Nothing major happens. It goes on like that until the finale. It was one of the worst of the so-called "great dramas" I' ve ever seen. Nothing important really happens in the story. It was so boring. It wasn' t good.

First Love of the Prince (MBC TV Series)
First Love of the Prince (MBC TV Series) DVD Region All
(21)Our Price: US$79.99List: US$95.99Save: US$16.00 (17%)Related promotions:November 2, 2005 It was just okay.It started of very good. But somewhere along the way, the drama losts its sparkles. The character of Yu-bin was a great character in the beginning but then she changed into someone totally boring and hateful at times (how she treats Tae-Hyun). I didn' t get it why Tae-Hyun was so crazy about her. She didn' t have special qualities to make he act like that.
It' s interesting to watch but I wasn' t addicted to it like I usually am when watching really great dramas. It' s nice and okay, but there' s really too many flaws to it. The cast wasn' t the best either.

Innocent Steps : Director's Cut Limited Edition
Innocent Steps : Director's Cut Limited Edition DVD Region 3
(9)Our Price: US$30.99List: US$37.99Save: US$7.00 (18%)Related promotions:November 2, 2005 It was fine.I expected more from this movie, but after watching it, it wasn' t bad, but wasn' t good too. It was just passable. The actress' s acting was okay, but I didn't like how she tried to soften her voice like that. It wasn' t natural. The dancing was really great. I didn' t really like the story though.

Sassy Girl, Chun-Hyang (English Subtitled)(KBS TV Series)
Sassy Girl, Chun-Hyang (English Subtitled)(KBS TV Series) DVD Region All
(68)Our Price: US$88.99List: US$106.99Save: US$18.00 (17%)Related promotions:November 2, 2005 Very good.I like the story. It was a great idea to adapt such a popular tale into a modern age one. For me everything was great except the part when they were in Seoul. I think the writer favorized ChunHyang too much. In that Seoul part, I thought that ChunHyang didn' t deserve the guy. She keep pushing him away and putting him down when all he did was special, and great. Then I started to not like the ChunHyang character.
Other than that, it' s a great funny drama. I recommend it to everyone.

Love Story in Harvard (English Subtitled)(SBS TV Series)
Love Story in Harvard (English Subtitled)(SBS TV Series) DVD Region 3
(58)Our Price: US$91.99List: US$110.99Save: US$19.00 (17%)Related promotions:November 2, 2005 Disappointing.I was a big fan of Kim Rae Won after watchinf Rooftop cat room. So I was looking forward to this drama. But it was just so under what I imagined. Their English was so bad for top student attending one of the top law school... I could barely understand what they were saying. The characters didn' t fit well with American students. Even if they do make efforts to hang out and talk to american students, It' s like they' re always in their little circle of Korea, and their English is so so bad!
Kim Tae Hee' s acting was disappointing. I was looking forward to see her act as the main character since she wasn' t in "Stairways to Heaven".
There' s just not a good character that I really like in this drama. They' re all disappointing to me... And the music wasn' t special. It was all too disappointing, and bad for me. I didn' t feel it.
