My Thoughts:

Short Drama...Not many episodes, Great actors, Good Music, Good Story but I personally could not find “that” much chemistry between Park Shin Hye and Yong Hwa. Well, separately they are both great actors.  Anddd...for God’s sake will someone please teach Park Shin Hye how to kiss...?!  She makes the kisses so awkward..!! Why ruin the kisses girl..?? I think this is the ‘only’ flaw she has..!! 

Well..apart from that, as I said the story is great, actors are great...we have the “super cute” Kang Min Hyuk ..;) I loved the songs too..!! Good drama <3

Things go awry when Tae Joon’s cousin Enrique Keum (Yoon Si-Yoon), a video game designer who has recently returned from Spain, comes to stay with him and catches Dok mi peeping in his apartment. They eventually start falling for each other as Enrique starts caring for her.  Oh Jin-rak (Kim Ji-hoon) who is a web comic writer, lives next door to Dok Mi and is in love with her. Watch their simple but complicated love lives as the Drama goes on.


My thoughts:

I love the concept of this drama. Park Shin hye plays a “Modern Day Rapunzel” who stays in her apartment and doesn’t interact with people but still manages to find her “Prince Charming”. People get ready to feel the flutters...Yoon Si yoon plays the cute and caring Enrique in this drama. He was so sweet that I almost fell in love with him..:D  The cast is good..There is Kim Seul gi..one of the most talented comedians I have ever seen..She is choego !! There are some great kisses and the pecks are adorable...!! :p The drama does get slow.. a bit..as you continue to watch it ..but overall it’s great. It has its own  pros and cons that get balanced by each other..!! If you are into fairy tales..You’ll love the drama..Enjoy !! J

Watch them fighting their social differences and all other odds for love.


My thoughts:

The drama shouldn’t have “comedy” in the genre as per the story is concerned. It seems to be a too melodramatic for a romantic comedy or maybe it’s just me who is over reacting as a result of not being able to watch Lee min ho suffering so much... :( T T
Jokes apart, the drama has some sort of a melo vibe..as there are so many complications and tension in the lives of the characters. It’s just sad.
However, Park Shin hye and Lee min ho are very cute together..love them to bits. <3 Even Krystal  and Kang Min hyuk also are adorable together...I love the way she always goes “Chan Yeong-aa”~~ . I loved Lee Bo na’s character <3 Overall the Drama is great..the portrayal of the life of each character is awesome. I give this Drama a score of 9/ 10. Oh and yes..Watch out for the “English” Lee min ho has so adorably tried to speak..!! It’s bad..!! :D But he’s “Lee Min ho” and so we can easily overlook his inability to speak English anytime. :p :D

OKAY!!!!!!! :p

5) Pinocchio

My thoughts:

I loved the story. The problem that Park Shin hye’s character suffers from is fictional but she did do a good job in playing the role. I loved how each event in the drama seems to be interrelated to some other event. It’s surely a well written drama. The cast is awesome. I loved Lee Pil-Mo and Lee Yoo-Bi . They were so cute..:) Great music..great story..great kisses ..there is nothing much to dislike about this drama..well ‘I’ did not find anything..:p  Loved this drama..and the kiss scenes were great and were not awkward for a change..
