Woooahhhh... It's soooo hard not posting spoilers... really. REALLY HARD. This is my first review, so please forgive me if it is not up to par with the others.. I've been going through a Jang Geun Suk phase (okaaayyy, I still am! *puckers up to avatar*) and because I think he's a charismatic actor and LOVE to hear him sing, I decided to watch Mary Stayed Out All Night... Since the only drama I watched with him in it was You're Beautiful, it was a pleasant shock to see how different his appearance was and how he still remains so handsome *drools*!! (Seeing him in Beethoven Virus is another pleasant surprise as well!!) Dragging myself back from JGS's external talents *nails clinging to the door*, let's talk about Mary staying out all night. I can't say it was perfect. I still have to watch that perfect drama... it's kinda like looking for that elusive perfect burger (if you guys know where the perfect burger is (and drama) please hit me up with a message! Was it close to perfect? Well, it had it's aspects for perfection: The actress playing Mae Ri: PERFECT for the role. Just absolutely Brilliantly PERFECT. I cannot picture someone else in it. She was quirky, fun, entertaining, endearing.. She looked like a cute kitten (MAOW)and I LOVED how loyal she was. I keep trying to look back and see if she irritated me, if she made me want to throw a tantrum and scream even for a second, "YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY JGS!" and the answer is, reluctantly, stubbornly, mumblingly, no. I am glad I saw her cast in this and witnessed her such high quality acting skills. Her voice even suited the role! Can you believe that?? Our JGS playing Kang Moo Gyul: He wasn't perfect- I lavu him but, I cannot lie- but he had his moments of perfection, but otherwise, he played a very SOLID role. I suppose the issue is, he had some traces of You're beautiful that I kept seeing in his acting, but then, it might be his acting style and no actor can completely change their acting style (Unless you're Gerard Butler- What do you mean you ask? Dudes and dudettes- The Phantom of the Opera and then Leonidas from 300?? If that's not a switch, I dunno what is!) I enjoyed how relaxed Moo Gyul was was and how hardworking he was. I liked how he expressed and showed me what a free spirit he wanted to be, yet still showed his vulnerability. The supporting male lead- Robot Director (forgot his name O_o): Close to perfect. He was supposed to play a quiet, intense role and he did. He felt stiff and robotic, and he showed how his mind worked. I really enjoyed how he wasn't the villain in the drama and was trying to find his own path. The music in this was PERFECT... I've downloaded the songs and listen to them often.Usually music is sad and depressing about how he/she got away, how you have to get over the person, how you don't get loved back... but the songs I remember from here are beautiful, warm, sincere and just make you melt into marshmellow cotton candy chocolate goodness. Listening to "My precious" makes me feel like I've been swept away to a field of grass and I'm laying on the grass, feeling the early morning sun's rays gently warming up my skin, sinking into my being delicately, as if I am indeed, precious. It reminds me of the feeling of KNOWING you are loved. Such a wonderful wonderful song. The Storyline/drama: This was good, but like every plot, some aspects just dragged on for no reason. Close to the end it felt like there was not enough content so they had to add things and make more drama... But then, why not lengthen the sweet moments between the couple? Hehe, now you know what I'm going for! Would I watch this again? Most probably. It's better than other drama I've watched, but I'd fastforward through parts to get to the good stuff :) Do I recommend this: Heck Yeah, it's sweet, it's funny, it has it's heartache moments and the music is just so heartwarming.
