I had this movie on my list as plan to watch for quite sometime now. And its such a regret to be watching it only today. I initially thought the story is like the movie "I Am Sam" but its totally different. Overall, the cast did a great job on portraying their individual roles. I can't imagine myself crying but this movie is a real tear-jerker especially at the last part, I just can't stop my tears. I am not a so fan of heavy dramas but this really blew me away. The saddest part is, the story may be fiction but in reality it happens, it can happen. It is indeed a masterpiece. Anyone who kept this in their plan-to-watch list must watch it asap. Anyone who doesn't include this on their list to watch yet, better not be a loser and watch it now.

I've spent my 4 days off from work watching this drama & finally it has come to an end. I still have an alien thingy hang-over. All 9's.
Story - Its something unique for me because I've seen all sort of movies about vampires and werewolves but not much for alien that really allure me. However, I didn't feel that much excited in some episodes. There are dramas that I've watched that if not because I have to, I won't stop. Like I'm always looking forward for the next episode. This one felt short in some Episodes but I so love that last 5 episodes.
Acting - for Jun Ji Hyun, I felt like her acting here is same-same with how she portrayed her character in My Sassy Girl. But still, its really good. Specially in the comedy part, she brought it all out. Kim Soo Hyun is sometimes stiff. Same expression most of the time. And I don't think its because of his character coz I felt the same in Moon embraces the Sun. Music - ohhh I love 2 of the songs (My Destiny & Hello, Goodbye). I wish they've used it more often. Rewatch Value - it will soon be aired in our country and I will definitely watch it again. Overall - its great and something that its worth watching. For sure!

This drama is long overdue in my list. Basically, I heard great reviews but I just can't find time until today. In all fairness to this drama, once you start watching it, you can't stop. The story makes sense. I love the mystery. I love it when dramas made me think hard to try to solve the mystery (like CSI). Its the best part of this drama, solving the mystery. The way the writers plotted it makes you really want to watch until the end. Very clever.

The acting was good but I have to admit, the 3 back-up of the crown prince were really funny. But I have to give the award to Lee Tae Sung (Yong Tae Mu) on this one. HE was so into the character that I hated him to the highest level.

The music is okay but not the kind of music I will download in my phone.

Overall, again, its worth the time and its worth the wait. I've given it 8.5 because I'm not sure about the tandem/love story side of it.

A perfect score?! Why not! None of the cast is my favorite, so why watch it? Only one reason ~ curiosity! The synopsis got me. its an interesting story, I said. Then I started watching and didn't stop...why? every episode got me wanting for more..makes me excited.

Story ~ I never would have ever imagined that the ending would turn out to be as cool as it gets.

Acting ~ I'm now a Kang Maru fan, 100%. I believe each of the cast made a very good job in making the viewers believe them. I'm convinced.

Music ~ honestly, the music is weird in a good way..especially the opening song but its tailored fit whenever needed.

Overall ~ if I have to describe this drama in 3 words: exciting, enchanting and heart-warming.

I have been absent in korean drama world for a while but "woah" what a comeback for me. This show is currently being televised in our country. When they first advertised it, it got my attention so I thought, let me read the reviews. After doing so, curiosity got the best in me. I waited it to be aired and then I start watching...first 2 episodes, I said, okay...then it became addictive that I can't wait for the next days for it to be aired so I spent my 2 rest days to watching the drama non-stop. I've got hooked. The leading man is so funny. I super love the ending. ITS A MUST WATCH DRAMA.

1. I'm not really sure why the title is "100 Years Inheritance". The drama is so focused on the story about a wife that was mistreated by her mother-in-law at the beginning and a reunion of a mother and son at the end. I thought, the story would focus on how Chae Won got successful and rich because of the noodle house and revenge on what her mother in-law did to her.

2. 50 episodes is just too long. There are a lot of scenes and episodes that are no longer needed. Cut it down to 20 or 24 might have given a higher score.

3. The actors were good enough not to bore me all along and I like the love story between See Yoon and Chae Won. Over-all, its an OKAY drama but honestly, not worth it for 50 episodes.

I haven't watch the other version of this drama so I really couldn't compare and I would not want to compare. I will base my judgement on the categories above.
7 for the story because its to high-schoolish (my term). If I were a teenager, I may score it an 8 or 9 for the story. I think its written and meant for teenagers.
7 for acting/cast because they've given justice to the character. special mention to lee hyun woo...I like him in this drama...specially his character...he's pretty cool.
10 for music because I like the songs.
3 I'd be honest to say its not the kind of story you wanna watch again and again
Overall 7 because, in fairness, its pretty good..I had fun watching it..though some scenes are corny at times because its not really for my age..but if you want to reminisce high-school..you may want to consider watching this. **wink**

BRace yourself for a heartbreaking review. I will write as honestly as I could. By far, the weakest drama of Lee Min Ho. I don't understand and don't want to understand this choice of his to make this drama. Anyway, here it goes.

4 things that were great in this drama:
- I downloaded 3 songs from this drama which is quite surprising. LMH- Painful Love, Changmin- Moment & Park Jang Hyeo ft Park Hyeon Gyu- Love is. The rest of the songs were good too.
- Lee Bo Na and Yoon Chan Young were so cute
- Choi Young Do, at first I dislike him but I grew to like him and his character as the story moves on. His character is the one that makes sense the most and he is good in portraying it.
- Lee Min Ho, I am still a fan. He did well but not his best but still he so damn good looking. What more can I ask for.

Things I dislike:
- The story sucks. C'mon!
- No originality. There were a lot of "rich boy who fell in love with a poor girl" drama out there but AT LEAST, make something fresh, new, exciting out of it not same old story.
- Its all over the place. Running, crying, chasing here and there up to Episode 18, that's pretty much what I can remember. PSH's character is too weak. What's with her crying all the time?! What's with scenes shoot in America? honestly, IRRELEVANT. When you go that far to shoot a story, at least, it has to be special but what happened can happen even shooting it in Korea.
- No chemistry. PSH and LMH, it doesn't work for me. Love-hate relationship of Kim Woo Bin and LMH is much, much better - it has chemistry. Lee Bo NA and Yoon Chang Young- that is chemistry.
- Totally disappointed. The drama is overrated maybe because its an all start cast-understandable because I was able to finish watching it because I am such a big fan of LMH. That's it.

This movie is definitely one of my fave. I gave the story a 9 because I was really hoping for a happy ending. Its not that its a bad ending and I'm not a sucker for happy ending, but I just want this one, as an exception, to have a kinda "happily ever after ending". Nevertheless, the story is something different. Its not like any other story. Acting is superb for Song Joong Ki, as always. He is already great in Innocent Man, he is epic and phenomenal on this. With just a few lines and the rest is just pure acting. Its a standing "O". If you are a kdrama fan, you cannot miss this movie.

I was really curious about this movie when I saw an article written about it in Yahoo and then I read the reviews and saw some impressive scores and so I watched it. Son Ye Jin is really good in movies...she can't one of my favorite for nothing. She can be funny, charming and naughty at the same time. Lee Min Ki was so funny to the point where it should be drama and horror already, I'm still laughing my ass out....hahaha I gave a story a 9 because the last part, is not that amazing...I was hoping for something more unique I guess, it was kinda unrealistic and a bit corny. Rewatch value a 5 because I really don't watch horror. Although this is romantic comedy but still anything that has ghosts thingy is something I would not want to watch again, once is enough and I enjoyed it. At the end of the day, I really enjoyed it, it was a fun movie, not so romantic and not so horror, just enough to blend those genres. horror + comedy + romance...you gotta give it up...that combination alone is already interesting enough.

This drama deserve 0.5 higher than 8 and 0.5 lesser than 9. I'll tell you why. The first 3 episodes bored me a bit and then I realized every chapter has a different story so it got my interest. The last 3 eps, surprisingly, were not my fave part. Its dragging and I thought the writer couldn't think of any other reason to keep the story going up to Ep.17. If it ended on 15 or 16 episode, my score would have been a 9. I like the music but it got a bit off in some part. I didn't like the acting of the "Han Na" (not the ghost) but other than that, I don't have issues with the main characters. They portrayed each of their characters well. But, I liked the chemistry of Cha Seung Won & Gong Hyo Jin better in "The Greatest Love" than So Ji Sub. Still, its a different drama. It brings a different joy and excitement to the viewers.

Its so easy to give this drama a high rating. Speaking of a unique, new & fresh story. It was well-written and well-executed by the actors. Since I have been watching kdramas for many years now, I guess it gets a little boring when stories sometimes were just recycled and give you same old story so I'm a sucker of a drama that is a breath of fresh air.

At first, I have a lot of confusion maybe because I don't have any medical background so I don't expect myself to understand all these medical conditions but as you go along every episode, it all make sense and it all come together that you'll tell yourself: "Ah, that's why." That makes the writer a genius. To be able to make the viewers understand something that is unfamiliar and make them relate to it is pure genius.

The actors were the best. I love them all. Gong Hyu Jin has made it to one of my all time favorite female celebs. Talking about chemistry, this two makes all the actors and couples a run of their money. So natural, so realistic you'd think they're a real couple. They are just the real deal. IF they have another drama together, I will definitely won't think twice.

The best part of the story ~ the end. You won't ask for a better ending of this story. Just simple but it was fit perfect.

You may think that 30 episodes is just too much but how the drama was written is actually great. You just don't know what you'll gonna get next. I'm not exaggerating when I say like how people commented on a Sidney Sheldon book--"if you want a book that you can put down, go to Sidney". I can fairly say if you want a kdrama which you can't stop watching and will always be anticipating on what will happen next..go watch "Baker King". The actors deserve a trophies for sure. One thing that I don't like much about this drama is the love story inserted to it..though this drama does not focus on that but it kinda confused me. The ending and the twist of the story is definitely the best. 100% highly recommended but I strongly suggest you watch it with a tissue with you..a lot of tissue. :D
