Personal comments: Watch this a few months ago and still addicted to it, love love the ending. In love with especially episode 14 ( i replayed it non stop). Some of my friends said that they watched a few episodes and it was quite boring so stopped but well the first time I watched I found it boring too but hearing really good comments about it I decided to continue and I didn't regret one bit.  Must watch if you like romance and comedy drama. Ha ji won and hyun bin acting is super super good and also the ost is superb, got addicted to every song in the drama also the chemistry between the leads *overload*

Personal Comments: I didn't have high hopes for this after hearing negative comments from almost everyone about this drama but i still watch it anyway cause it's by hong sisters.... just like Lie To Me, this is a drama that everybody dislikes but there's this small group of viewers that love it and this time i'm in the group of people that love this <3 tbh, the only flaw about this show is the not really attractive first 2 ep and confusing and unclear ending but overall this is probably my favourite hong sisters drama ( i've watch my girlfriend is a gumiho, greatest love, your beautiful from them ) ahhhh and i have heard many bad comments about the acting but i think the acting was quite good except for lee min jung for the first 2 episodes but after that her acting starts to get better and more natural. The 2 leads have great chemistry too, however the ending spoiled the 10/10 mark of this drama, pshhhh i think anyone that have take note of this drama would have heard complains about the um awkward ending but well i will just take it as a happy ending cause hong sisters drama always seems to have an happy ending ;) Do give this drama a try and maybe you will love this as much as i did haha it would probably take a while before i get over this drama 

- Bridal Mask/Gaksital
10/10
10/10

Synopsis

Gaksital is a famous manhwa set in the 1930s, during the Japanese occupation. The hero, Lee Kang-to, is known as 'Gaksital' because he wears a mask to hide his face — one of those traditional play masks, specifically the rosy-cheeked one reserved for the female role, aka the bride. He's an unassuming young man in real life, but when he dons his superhero mask, he fights injustice and rights wrongs during one of the darkest periods of Korea's history

Personal Comments: This is wayyyyyyy too underated, the suspense, twist, excitement in every.. almost every episode ahhhhh. The love-hate relationship you will be feeling for the "bad" guys in the story. This drama doesn't catch people's eye on the first look probably due to the setting as its set in the 30s and well many people won't be interested in war story or with political stuff. I was reluctant to watch this at first but still watch it due to Joo Won and from episode one i love it already, it's been really long since there's a drama that makes me enjoy all the episode and this is a whole 28 episodes ! Well every drama has its own negative point, for this is the romance between the leads it wasn't really ummmm romance? the director didn't film much cute moments between the couple and the chemistry between them ain't strong but the good acting given by ALL the character deserve a huge round of applause.. also this is probably the first drama where ALL the leads and even supporting role characters are either really handsome or pretty. This is kinda unrelated but the main female lead looks a lot like Victoria from f(x) haha.

Personal Comments: The main leads didnt catch my eye they aren't really handsome or really pretty but i gotta say their acting are really good and they look so so so cute together. The storyline which is by Hong Sisters ( my girlfriend is a gumiho, your beauiful, my girl ) didn't dissapoint me, something i really love about their drama is that its perfect pace not too fast nor too slow thus doesn't get boring or annoying. The director also did a good job whenever there's cute scenes it makes me really excited and happy for them i guess a lot of credits goes to the chemistry between the leads. REALLY WORTH WATCHING :-)

This drama will focus on the extreme fan culture that emerged in the 1990s when idol groups took center stage and K-pop was blossoming.
It tells the story of 6 former high school friends from a school in Busan who meet again in 2012 and brings back memories to 1997 when they were still high school students. Moving back and forth between the ’90s and today, the story centers on the life of Sung Shi Won (Jung Eun Ji), who idolizes boyband H.O.T., and her 5 high school friends

Personal Comments: I didn't want to watch this in the beginning thinking itwill be kinda boring as it's about first love again ( I miss you, architect 101,taiwan's in time w you) but I'm so glad I decided to watch this mainly because of eunji after I had watched her from that winter the wind blows and that I'm waiting for gu family book. Friendship, family, brothers, love,kinship this drama is simply beautiful. Perfection and the acting from every one of the character is amazing especially the two main leads. Although it's only a cable drama but its so much better than most dramas, tvn are really producing a lot of good dramas. This drama definitely deserves the credit and good reviews many people gave.

Personal Comments: Only decided to watch this show because of Ha JiWon and Lee Seung Gi and also that i heard people say that this show is nice. I usually really hate show about war and politics and stuff like that but this wasn't that bad but it still did bore me out at some parts from episode 1-14 but from episode 15-20 it was super exciting. The directing, story, acting and filming everything is really good one of the best i've watch, every episodes felt like a movie. The ending was not very good, okay rather not say why or else im gonna be a spoiler to people who have yet watch the show and more people liked the princess and guard romance more than the king and queen's when they are the actual main lead, i liked both but i think Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi had more chemistry with the other main lead in Secret Garden and My Girlfriend Is a Nine Tail Fox.

Personal Comments: if you liked your beautiful you should enjoy this too cause it's by the same writer, but honestly i think this is much much better than your beautiful because i didn't enjoy that although i like yonghwa, hongki and shinhye. Something good about this is that it's interesting from episode 1 till the end, i skipped many parts for secret garden and autumn concerto cause i thought it was boring but i did not even skip a second for this show. I like the ending too hehe, The last two episodes is super nice especially the last episode.

Personal Comments: Honestly Yun Eun Hye's acting isn't bad in this drama as what many people commented i think she's pretty good especially in I Miss You she proved that she can act and she's one of the best. The first few episode were really exciting and fun to watch but as the story develops it gets...... weird. I don't exactly think that the main lead guy suits this role, don't get me wrong i really like him and his acting in Secret Garden and he had excellent chemistry with the girl he's matched with in that show but him with yun eun hye.... not so match idk why but i find it awkward. The acting is really cute * no spoilers hehe *. Worth watching still if your bored!

The police, upon finding Go’s belongings on the thief, mistakenly identified the thief as Go and a death certificate for Go was promptly issued. Go decided to lie low and not tell his family that he was alive so that his family could claim his life insurance money and use it to clear the debts. However his second wife, Baek Sung Hee, kicked her stepchildren, Eun Sung and Eun Woo, out of the house after collecting the insurance money and moved into a new home with her daughter, Yoo Seung Mi (Moon Chae Won).

However, Mishil devised sinister plans to have the two Silla princesses exiled from the kingdom, and in a secretive battle, Princess Cheonmyong was accidentally killed.

This drama is about a story of a beautiful queen, who has to give up her love to save the people and thus, leaving behind many brilliant achievements.

The cast already makes the show a hit but i didn't really enjoy it  )-: It's a little laggy but the filming and acting is really perfect.

The last time i watch a drama with so many cute scenes between the couple that will lead you smiling for days is secret garden haha so yup in conclusion watch this.
