April 11, 2007 Wow!I love this drama. First of all, you can't go wrong with any KRW drama especially this one. I think JRW was perfect for the role of Bok-Shil. What a character she brought to life. I'm glad the director kept her the same throughout the movie and not change her into some sexy siren as someone suggested. The ending was okay, but everything else was excellent. It's definitely worth your while. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

The love was so subtle and yet so powerful. I find myself rooting for them to get together even though he's married to a nutcase. And the fight scene between the wife and the secretary will leave you shaken. KSS is gorgeous as ever, but in lawyers, KSK steals the show with the way he looks at JHY. It's a wonderful series. Loved it! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Two extraordinary women fighting to get to the top in the broadcasting industry is a great storyline. Adding to the fire is JDG, whose smile lights up the screen. Unlike other dramas, JDG's character was cool, calm, collective, and did not cry like other leading men. Chae Rim is so pretty, and she did a wonderful job. But I love AAE because KSY was so good as the bad Young-Mi. The ending will leave you breathless--so romantic!!!! Isn't that why we love Korean dramas? Did you find this review helpful?

December 6, 2006 Liked ItLDG and KSS were really good, but it's just not believable that those two HOT executives could be falling for KN who by the way needs a new wardrobe stylist. I don't know who dressed her in "Secret" and this drama, but that person needs to be fired ASAP.
Overall, the story was good about friendship. And the ending was appropriate.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 3, 2006 Ultimate Love StoryI love stories where people separate or break-up to rediscover each other again. Alone in Love is truly a love story. The ex-spouses often meet at a donut cafe for breakfast where they exchange verbal jabs at each other. She rides the bike to work, and he takes the bus. As his bus passes the gym where she works, he looks for her bike. She looks for his bus also. They still care for each other, but are afraid to express their feelings because of what happened to their marriage. She couldn't get past the fact that her husband was not there for her the night she lost their baby. When you finally find out where he really was, you will cry your eyes out! The whole movie was so romantic because of how they get jealous over each other and the sarcastic remarks are so natural. The best friend and sister are extremely funny! It's a slow movie, but the story needed to be told this way. Loved it! Highly recommended for those romantics who believes in having only one true love. Did you find this review helpful?

Sad Love Story (English Subtitled)(MBC TV Series)
Sad Love Story (English Subtitled)(MBC TV Series) DVD Region 3
(31)Our Price: US$102.99List: US$123.99Save: US$21.00 (17%)Related promotions:September 28, 2006 So Sad!To me, Sad Love Story epitomizes what Korean dramas are about these days. And it doesn't hurt that this drama stars two hot actors in KSW and YJH. KSW's character has been in love with a blind girl since elementary school. She later meets his best friend,YJH's character in America and falls for him after thinking that KSW's character had died. He helps her obtain an operation to restore her eyesight. Upon returning to Korea, they all work together as singer, composer, and manager. However, things get complicated when they discovered KSW's true identity. Of course, they never stopped loving each other, thus the plot thickens. The ending is obviously tragic, and you'll cry a lot. But YJH and KSW are total hotties, and they will keep you watching until the very end. Although the story follows the same formula as most dramas, I really liked Sad Love Story for the actors, songs, and the beautiful house which was one of the main setting of the movie. Interestingly, this movie has one of the best and most powerful line ever "A friend is someone who carries your sadness on his back." Sad Love Story is as much about friendship as it is about love demonstrated well by KSW's character throughout the movie. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

August 27, 2006 So So Good!Green Rose is definitely one of the best series ever made. If you're into one of those "Who Dunnit" and loves rooting for the underdog, this one is for you. The storyline mirrors the story of The Count of Monte Cristo, but Green Rose comes out on top for suspense. Framed for murder, Ko Su comes back to Korea with a different name to punish those who put him behind bars which lead to the suicide of his beloved mother. Throughout the movie, it's a game of who did what and when? It will keep you on the edge of your seat when all is revealed. Very clever and great acting from supporting female cast member who was also in Lovers in Paris. But here, she and the main "bad guy" have awesome chemistry. The only thing I didn't like was that at the end, the bad guy tried to hurt the main female lead character with a butter knife. I think the director could've used a real knife or maybe even a gun to make it more dramatic. Using a butter knife when the whole movie up to that point was so good cheapened the ending. Otherwise, Green Rose is one of my all-time favorites. Only one other movie w/ similar theme is better than Green Rose--that is "Revenge or Rebirth". Did you find this review helpful?

July 31, 2006 I love My Girl!My Girl is a great drama series. First of all, it's sooo funny. The lead actress was hilarious! There are scenes that will crack you up! It's about a swindler girl who was hired to pretend as a long lost granddaughter. In the process, she falls in love with her "pretend" brother/cousin. You will fall in love!
Highly recommended!!! Top 5 Korean drama series.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 21, 2006 Excellent!If you've ever been in love, this movie will tug at your heart! One of the saddest movie I've ever seen. Hyun Bin is the perfect leading man who reunites with his little gf from back in the day. Since then, he's grown into a rich brat, but his grandfather used his inheritance as a vehicle for him to grow up. The song is so perfect! Aw! Do not miss it! Worth every penny!

July 3, 2006 Not So Sweet!The plot was horrible! By the end of the movie, you're back at square one. They didn't solve anything, and they're reopening the same investigation so you basically wasted all that time watching something that has no result. Although Dennis Oh was more of a Dennis Oh No in terms of acting, he's definitely a hottie. I would not recommend this series. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 28, 2006 Cute except endingThe series was cute, but I was disappointed and frustrated with the ending. The director left it open, and although I can understand it, I'd preferred a definite ending. Overall, it was a cute series and I recommend it to anyone who's a KRW or KJW fan. JNR's character was annoying and looked like a 12-year old in this series, but the storyline was good because I liked that the "bad" girl was really bad.

June 28, 2006 Best Unexpected EndingThis series has everything. A girl falls in love w/ someone who wants to be a priest. Of course, a hot doctor is also in love with her. She goes back and forth between the two, but all along, her heart belongs to Andrew, the priest. As the movie progresses, Andrew chooses God over her. There's a scene where she's waiting at the beach to see if he would show up as a man of God or just a man. It was heart-breaking when he appeared. But the ending was quite a surprise, and makes one believe in true love. I highly recommend Love Letter. It doesn't hurt that you have JHJ and JJH in it. And the theme song is haunting.

June 21, 2006 Loved ItI'm a big fan of BYJ so naturally, I wanted to see this. I was not disappointed in the least. Surprisingly, I ended up rooting for KSW's character more because he was just soo cool. No wonder, she waited for him, and gave him plenty of opportunities to say he loves her too. But sadly enough, that never came.
The plot is very good. And the female lead made it worth watching. The expressions on her face were very deep. I loved how she played the character because she's so good, you forget that she's an actress. Excellent dialogues especially between her and KSW. And the comic relief provided by the Manager of Housekeeping was "laughed out loud" funny.
The music was appropriate, and referencing "Casablanca" deserves brownie points. This is a Korean drama classic.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(27)Our Price: US$33.99Related promotions:June 21, 2006 Gripping!I'm usually partial to Korean dramas, but I heard so much about this one that I decided to watch it. It's really good! Although the theme of losing one's memory is trite, it works in this one. Ming Dao is a total sweetheart opposite his usual mean self when he lost his memory. But he looks like a little boy. With that said, in my opinion the love story is really w/ the two supporting characters. Ji Qian was totally hot, and his character undergoes the most changes in the storyline. There's a scene where he climbs into his mom's old bed and weeps. I don't usually cry, but I lost it there. A must see!! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 27, 2006 Too SlowIt's one of the worst films ever made. A very cheap knockoff of the American version w/ Harrison Ford which was also awful. Upon the discovery that their respective spouses were cheating on them, they eventually got together. But not before a lot of slow dialogues and dark scenes. Not worth watching. Wasted talent with an all-star cast. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 11, 2006 I'm in love with the DevilGreat series! Fast pace. Funny. Great story. Excellent cast. Great chemistry. The supporting cast was wonderful. I like how the director weaved each story into the main one. MH's eyes were so smoldering! Whew. So hot!
The best kissing scene still belongs to Princess Hours (Goong), but the one in this is a close 2nd.

May 2, 2006 Great DramaAlthough it has the familiar storyline as most Korean dramas, this one is really enjoyable. Ji Seong is arguably the best actor of our generation. He portrayed the role to its purest form, and was brilliant. He stole the show from the leads in "All In" and makes "Save the Last Dance for Me" a classic. A must have for the true romantic.
