Cerita : (synopsis versi v1olet)
Kim Jung Woo adalah anak yatim piatu yg tidak tahu siapa orangtuanya karena dibesarkan di panti asuhan di Pulau Jeju.  Tanpa pendidikan yg cukup, Jung Woo bekerja apa saja hingga akhirnya dia bekerja mengabdikan diri pada Jang Min Ho, seorang taipan yg menguasai resort dan casino di Pulau Jeju sekaligus orang terkaya di Jeju.  Jang Min Ho ini sifatnya keras, kejam, dan akan melakukan segala cara untuk mendapatkan apa yg diinginkan.  Jung Woo dipekerjakan untuk jadi orang suruhan anaknya, Jang Tae Hyuk, bahkan Jung Woo rela masuk penjara menggantikan Tae Hyuk yg membunuh temannya.  Walaupun dibayar mahal, tapi semua pengorbanan Jung Woo tidak dihargai.  Setelah keluar dari penjara, Jung Woo disuruh pergi begitu saja karena dianggap sudah tidak berguna, lantaran Tae Hyuk sudah insaf dan mau bekerja serius.  Jung Woo malah terusir dari Pulau Jeju karena dituduh membunuh bekas napi yg memeras Jang Min Ho.  Dalam pelariannya ke Las Vegas dan Afrika Selatan, Jung Woo bertekad membalas perlakuan Jang Min Ho dan Jang Tae Hyuk yg semena-mena dan menghancurkan kehidupannya.

Tambah ruwet lagi karena Lee So Hyun, gadis yg ditaksir Tae Hyuk, ternyata malah naksir Jung Woo.  So Hyun sebetulnya anak orang kaya di Jeju, tapi orangtuanya meninggal dalam kecelakaan yg mencurigakan dan rumah serta kebun jeruknya dibeli oleh Jang Min Ho.  Jadi baik Jung Woo maupun So Hyun sama-sama menyimpan dendam pada Jang Min Ho.

Bagaimana cara mereka membalas dendam ?

Serial ini agak mendunia juga karena ke Las Vegas, Afrika Selatan, ada Cirque Du Soleil segala.  Lumayan gede nih biaya produksinya.

Cast :
nonton film ini karena Ji Sung.  Awalnya dekil-dekil gitu, tapi belakangan kinclong juga. Hampir semua OK, cuma Sung Yu Ri yg agak kaku, kurang all out :)

Romance :
agak bete juga ngeliat Jung Woo yg kurang gigih memperjuangkan cintanya ... jadi kasihan sama So Hyun.

Rada panjang juga nih serial, 24 episodes, bagian2 yg bikin bosan saya FF aja deh.  Banyak flash back adegan yg diulang-ulang sampai bosan, juga banyak adegan bengong yg tak perlu dan sebetulnya bisa di-cut tanpa mengurangi makna cerita.

Ending : Happy

Rating : 7/10


Spoiler :
Jung Woo dan Jackson dkk bekerja sama dengan MGM membuka casino di Pulau Jeju.  Ayah Jung Woo adalah Jang Min Ho yg dulunya Kim Il Hwan.  Setelah bisnis casinonya gagal dan resortnya batal dibangun, Jang Min Ho bunuh diri di makam Ibunya Jung Woo.  Tae Hyuk masuk penjara. Jung Woo dan So Hyun bekerja sama membangun bisnis mereka di Pulau Jeju.

Cerita : salah satu K-drama yg saya rekomendasikan ke teman-teman saya karena ceritanya menarik.  Tidak bertele-tele dan enak ditonton.  Walaupun geregetan melihat cewek yg segitu bodohnya sampai rela masuk penjara untuk perbuatan yg tidak dilakukannya, tapi demi karir cowoknya .... ya nonton saja, pengen tahu sampai sejauh mana cowoknya berterimakasih.  Ternyata enggak loh ... gak tau terimakasih tuh cowo.  Malah jahatnya menjadi-jadi.  Di sisi lain ada cowo yg segitu dendamnya ingin memberi ganjalan yg setimpal, malah lebih dari setimpal, kepada orang yg membunuh kekasihnya, walaupun belakangan salah sasaran.  Plot awalnya sudah bikin penasaran, diikuti jadi tambah seru.  Makanya saya rekomendasikan.

Casting : Ji Sung .... OK banget untuk main film yg kayak gini.  Pakai kemeja putih terus, tambah kinclong.  Bae Soo Bin ... hmmmm ... ini cowo paling cocok jadi cowo jahat pengkhianat (inget K-Drama 49 Days, dia juga jadi cowo yg menyebalkan).  Hwang Jung Eum bisa beda-beda penampilannya, tapi di drama ini dia bagus banget emosinya.

Romance : dendam dan cinta hanya setipis kulit bawang ... terobsesi untuk membalas dendam dan membuat Yoo Jong menderita. Setelah tahu bahwa Yoo Jong bukan pelaku tabrak lari, jadi simpati juga kan dan jadi merasa bersalah.

Ending : Happy

Spoiler
Demi menyelamatkan perusahaan K-Group yg mau collapse, Min Hyuk terpaksa menikahi Shi Yeon.  Min Hyuk dengan berat hati berpisah dengan Yoo Jong.  Tapi Shi Yeon tidak bahagia dan akhirnya mengakhiri perkawinan mereka.  Min Hyuk memilih untuk bekerja di cabang K-Group di Armenia.  Shi Yeon ke Amerika Serikat untuk jadi pelukis.  Ahn Do Hoon  masuk penjara. Yoo Jong merelakan San tetap dipelihara oleh keluarga yg mengadopsinya.  Min Hyuk mengembalikan rumah dan bakery milik ayah Yoo Jong.  Yoo Jong membuka kembali bakery alm. ayahnya.  Setahun berlalu.  Min Hyuk kembali ke Seoul, datang ke bakery Yoo Jong dan mereka bersatu kembali.  So simple, so sweet.

Cerita : romance comedy dengan setting politik.  Soo Young dan Min Young adalah anggota parlemen dari parpol yg berbeda.  Soo Young dari partai yg berkuasa, sedangkan Min Young dari partai oposisi minoritas.  Di hadapan publik saling ribut dan mencela, tapi di belakang saling mencinta.  Lucu asli.  Romance-nya asik dan menghibur.  Tidak perlu banyak mikir nontonnya.  Recommended untuk melepas lelah.

Cast : Lee Min Jung OK banget.  cuma Lead cowo ini loh .. Shin Ha Kyun yg kurang ganteng.  hadoohhhh ... itu muka, itu mulut and bibir, itu rambut, enggak banget deh ... mana gayanya juga nyeleneh.  Tapi cocok, dan berani malu.  Sempat berpikir, kalo lead cowo ini dicari yg ganteng, mungkin lebih asik.

Romance : seru abissss. Judulnya aja udah All About My Romance he he he ...

Ending : Happy lahhhhh ...

Cerita :  tentang balas dendam. K-drama bukan cuma buat cewe aja, buat cowo juga OK serial ini.  Romance-nya enggak terlalu banyak.  Film ini seru karena saling bertautan dan twistednya bagus.  Recommended untuk yg suka cerita misteri. Don't Look Back - The Legend of Orpheus.  Kalau mau balas dendam memang gak boleh nengok ke belakang, nanti malah gak jadi.

Cast : Seon Ye Jin yg mukanya melankolis dan lemes-lemes kurang gairah, agak kurang cocok untuk peran ini.  Malah lebih cocok yg peranin Hae Woo remaja.  Nah kalo Kim Nam Gil, kurang apa ya .... hm... kurang sreg aja he he he ... kumisnya aduh ... mending dicukur kali :)

Romance : gak asik, cuma bumbu basa basi

Cerita : family drama 50 episode lumayan panjang, tapi ceritanya menarik dan suka nontonnya.  Romancenya bukan cuma sepasang, tapi langsung 3 pasang.  Terus terang yg paling seru adalah pasangan Yu Shin dan Chan Woo, lucu perjalanan cintanya dan keduanya pintar menghadapi tentangan keluarga.  Untuk pasangan Soon Shin dan Jun Ho malah bikin geregetan.  Kalau suka family drama yg rada panjang, boleh deh nonton serial ini.

Cast : OK lah ... IU salah satu alasan saya nonton serial ini.  Lumayan juga nih ... nyanyi bagus, acting juga not bad.

Cerita : Dari episode  1 sudah menarik dan bikin penasaran nih ceritanya.  Highly recommended.  Sinopsis baca di atas.  Pokoknya saya jamin pasti suka.  Enggak pakai kesal nontonnya, mengalir aja.

Oya kalau sudah nonton A Gentlement Dignity ada nyenggol dikit nih, Kim Min Jong muncul sebagai cameo di Ep 14 sebagai Choi Yun, seniornya Cha Kwan Woo yg nawarin kerjaan.  Masih ingat kan Choi Yun yg belakangan jadi suaminya Me Ah Ri, adik sahabatnya.

Casting :  Suka semuanya, terutama sama brondong satu itu, Lee Jong Suk yg jadi Park Soo Ha ... taebak!!!   Lee Bo Young juga cocok untuk Jang Pyon.

Romance : biasanya saya paling gak suka sama romance nuna - brondong, tapi kali ini saya loloskan. Beda 10 tahun loh ... but chemistry OK banget.

Ending : Happy ... harus !

Ini cerita tentang 2 orang yg tidak tahu diri, tidak tahu berterimakasih, tidak tahu bersyukur, pokoknya ngeselin deh.  Bikin emosi.  Mau tau siapa ? Yg cewe namanya Seo Mi Do, yg cowo namanya Lee Jae Hee.  Keduanya bisa hidup dan bisa sekolah sampai pintar dan hidup mapan karena kebaikan hati dari Han Tae Song, tapi hasilnya bukan berterimakasih dan bersyukur eh ... malah berkhianat.  Sedangkan Han Tae Song karena cinta mati sama Seo Mi Do bisa menerima semua perlakuan buruk dari Seo Mi Do.  Bener-bener mabuk kepayang nih cowo ... cocok deh judulnya When a Man is in Love ... jadi buta segala.  Nah, kalau Lee Jae Hee karena dia adalah adik dari sahabat setia yg selalu berkorban untuk Tae Sang.  Kalau mau tahu bagaimana betenya nonton serial ini, silahkan nonton and come join me :)

Cast : Kenapa sih Song Seung Heun main serial ini? Terlalu kasihan. Alasan saya nonton serial ini adalah SSH.  Saya tabah-tabahin nontonnya.  Shin Se Kyung berturut-turut dapat peran yg bikin emosi (sebelum ini di Fashion King juga bikin bete).

Romance : bikin kesal ...

Ending : Happy

Cerita : kalau suka drama profesi, boleh nonton serial ini.  Apalagi kalau suka advertising/periklanan, boleh dipertimbangkan untuk nonton drama ini.  Drama ini ringan, ada soal kerja, romance, komedi, cukup menghibur.  Ceritanya tentang perusahaan advertising kecil tapi kreatif yg bersaing dengan perusahaan advertising besar dan ternama yg berkuasa.  Bagaimana caranya supaya bisa survive dalam dunia periklanan yg kompetitif ?  Persaingan asmara tentu jadi bumbu penyedapnya.

Casting : Ada bintang-bintang yg sudah top seperti Han Chae Young dan Jo Hyun Jae, tapi mereka bukan lead, tapi peran antagonist.  Pemeran utamanya justru belum punya nama besar, tapi not bad. Bolehlah ...

Cerita : melodrama, terus terang agak capek sih nontonnya ... tokoh Oh Soo yg diperankan oleh Jo In Sung kan tukang tipu, jadi kita nonton ngebelain tukang tipu, ikut deg-deg-an ... apapun itu alasannya.  Sedangkan Song Hye Kyo jadi Oh Young cewe buta yg kaya raya dan pewaris tunggal perusahaan ternama.  Oh Soo palsu pura-pura jadi kakaknya dan ternyata saling jatuh cinta.  Nah capek kan nontonnya .... he he he ... Cinta sejati atau cinta matre demi duit.  Silahkan nonton.

Casting : Song Hye Kyo adalah alasan utama saya nonton serial ini.  Jarang-jarang main serial drama dan kehadirannya ditunggu-tunggu.  Cantik sih ... akting juga bagus.  Saya cuma rada risih melihat Jo In Sung yg gayanya kurang sreg di mata saya ...  Ada Kim Bum sebagai supporting aktor.  Lebih terhibur lihat Kim Bum.

Ending : Happy

My Comment :
Cerita : sederhana dan menghibur.  Nonton tanpa banyak mikir, tinggal nikmati saja jalan ceritanya.  Permasalahannya rumit dan ada jalan keluarnya plus ada adegan komedi yg bisa bikin kita tersenyum-senyum.  Ini tipikal Korean drama deh ... tokoh utamanya Lee Tae Song seorang jaksa kondang yg adalah anak angkat yg diambil dari Panti Asuhan. Ternyata dia adalah anak orang kaya di Busan yg sedang dicari-cari orangtuanya yg sekarat.  Saat menyamar untuk menangkap penjahat, dia mengalami kecelakaan sehingga dia amnesia dan dikenali sebagai Nam Hae yg ngekost di Restaurant Seafood Sam Choon.  Ada cinta segitiga.  Anak angkat, anak yg hilang, amnesia, cinta segitiga .... so Korean Drama sekali deh.  Anyway, serial ini tetap enak ditonton.

Casting : Kim Kang Woo bisa juga main drama komedi.  Bolehlah ... chemistry dengan Jo Yeo Jung juga bagus.  Ada Jung Suk Won yg dapat peran sbg Choi Joon Hyuk, pria baik hati yg pintar, ganteng, dan suka menolong Ko So Ra.  Para penonton ibu-ibu pasti lebih suka Ko So Ra jadian sama dia ketimbang Nam Hae / Lee Tae Song he he he ...

Ending : Happy

My Comment :
Cerita : Sejak ngintip episode 1 langsung suka lantaran lucu dan asik ceritanya. Walaupun salah satu alasan saya nonton serial ini karena Jang Dong Gun.  Ingin nostalgia dengan pesona dan karisma Xue Chang Jang Dong Gun di All About Eve.

 Drama ini tentang persahabatan 4 cowo sejak SMA sampai mereka bekerja di usia 40-an.  Kompak, saling menolong, saling support, walaupun ada kesal dan berantem, tapi pada dasarnya mereka saling menyayangi dan ingin yg terbaik untuk semua baik dalam hal cinta, keluarga, pekerjaan, hobby, dll.  Kehidupan mereka jadi pernuh warna dengan kehadiran para wanita Yi Soo, Se Ra, Me Ah Ri, dan Mi Sook.  Kehidupan mereka jadi porak poranda dengan kehadiran Collin, anak SMA pindahan dari Amerika Serikat yg ingin mencari dan memastikan siapa dari antara 4 gentlemen itu yg adalah ayah biologisnya.  Di awal tiap episode ada sepotong kejadian di masa lalu yg lucu-lucu tentang persahabatan mereka.  Pokoknya tiap episode selalu ada-ada saja kejadian yg bikin kita tertawa-tawa.  Komedinya lucu dan segar, romancenya so sweet, dan persahabatan mereka so wonderful.

Cast :  Jang Dong Gun yg kata teman-teman saya sudah tampak peot karena kurang filler he he he ... ternyata masih OK kok.  Masih tampak sisa-sisa kegantengan masa lalu, pesona Xue Chang.  Dan ... berani akting komedi yg agak-agak jijay ... misalnya joget-joget dengan mengenakan kimono handuk/jubah mandi wowwww ... ini scene bikin saya geli-geli menontonnya. Biasanya saya kurang suka Kim Han Neul, tapi di drama ini dia OK dan tidak terlalu lebay aktingnya.  Dari 4 cowo itu yg mukanya paling asem sepet adalah Lee Jong Hyuk yg jadi Jung Rok, tapi justru yg paling mesum kelakukannya ... aduh deh... ganjen banget.  Pokoknya  semua OK, semua cocok.

OST : Enak semua, baik lagu yg riang maupun yg sedih.

Ending : Happy sekali ....
Spoiler ....
Yoon mendapat restu dari Tae San untuk menikahi Me Ah Ri, adik Tae San. Collin patah hati gara-gara Apa Cinggu (Yoon). Jung Rok rujuk kembali dengan Mi Sook.  Tae San pacaran lagi dengan Se Ra dan ternyata Se Ra hamil sehingga mereka "terpaksa" menikah dalam waktu dekat.  Do Jin melamar Yi Soo dengan cara yg spektakular dan lamaran diterima.  Murid yg naksir Yi Soo yg adalah sahabat Collin jadi patah hati gara-gara Cinggu Apa (Do Jin) deh ...

Rating : 9/10.  Highly recommended.  Salah satu serial drama yg paling menghibur.

My Comment :

Cerita : Korea lagi demen sama cerita fantasi yg serba tak mungkin.  Raja jaman Chosun lah yg terdampar ke masa sekarang.  Asli komedi banget nih film.  Dari awal sampai akhir, tiap episode ada aja adegan yg lucu-lucu karena perbedaan gaya hidup.  Sampai tertawa terpingkal-pingkal deh melihat kelakuan 4 cowo itu.  Apalagi saat rambut mereka masih gondrong dan pakai training warna-warni .... buset deh culun amat.  Tapi setelah rambut dipotong dan dikasih baju baru, nah mereka berempat langsung jadi keren bok! Drama ini very entertaining, walaupun tidak masuk akal ada tokoh saudari tiri yg jahat serta cari-mencari anak kandung, tipikal Korean Drama era awal thn 2000-an.

Casting : Micky Yoochun memang layak dapat bintang untuk akting ngelawak kayak gini :)  Sebetulnya saya enggak begitu suka sama Han Ji Min yg aktingnya suka lebay di film2 sebelum ini.  Soalnya dia suka melotot2 dan mulutnya suka monyong2.  Sekilas gayanya mirip Kim Jung Eun di Lover in Paris dan Princess Lulu.

Ending : Happy ... kalau mau spoiler, highlight text di bawah ini dg cursor
Park Ha bertemu dengan Ibu Kandungnya.  Sena dan Taemo yg jahat tersingkap kejahatannya dan mendapat hukumannya.  Lee Gak dan 3 orang rekannya pulang ke masa Chosun dan berhasil mengungkap kematian dan konspirasi kejahatan permaisuri.  Tae Yong sadar dari koma dan bertemu kembali dengan Park Ha, jatuh cinta dan pacaran dengan Park Ha yg sukses dengan bisnisnya.  Semua happy.

My comment :

Ini cerita yg tidak mungkin, fantasi, tapi lucu.  Ya sekedar untuk hiburan yg bikin kita ketawa-ketawa sih bolehlah ... mana mungkin sih 2 orang tertukar badannya.  Dari jaman dulu sampai sekarang enggak ada tuh ...

Drama romance komedi seperti ini enak ditonton dan menghibur. Cuma sayang endingnya bikin bingung.

Casting : menyegarkan mata.  Gong Yoo ternyata cocok banget main komedi dan bisa berperan ganda - body dewasa tapi gaya ABG.  Kocak ngeliat aktingnya, body gede tapi emosi meledak-ledak dan suka ngambek.  Chemistry dengan Lee Min Jung bolehlah. Yg juga lucu adalah yg jadi Kil Chung Shik, adiknya Kil Da Ran.  Ada Suzy yg jadi Jang Ma Ri yg cinta setengah mati dengan Kang Kyung Joon.

Ending : spoiler dg font warna putih, aktifkan text background kalau mau tahu endingnya

Setelah menjalani operasi, harapan penonton Seo Yoon Jae dan Kang Kyung Joon kembali ke badan masing-masing kan?!.  Tetapi ternyata tak jelas, menggantung dan bikin bingung.  Seperti di awal cerita, pertemuan Kil Da Ran dengan Kang Kyung Joon terjadi di bus saat hujan dan payung mereka tertukar, begitu pula endingnya.  Saat hujan di bus, Kang Kyung Joon memanggil Kil Teacher pada Kil Da Ran tapi badannya masih badan Seo Yoon Jae berupa bayang-bayang. Begitu saja .... lalu The End.

Penonton bingung.  Jadi maksudnya, terserah penonton aja.  Kalau yg ingin Kil Da Ran jadian dengan Seo Yoon Jae ya ... silahkan berangan2 seperti itu.  Dan buat penonton yg ingin cinta platonic Guru dan Murid, ya ... anggap saja operasinya gagal mengembalikan keduanya ke tubuh masing-masing, sehingga Kang Kyung Joon tetap memakai tubuh Seo Yoon Jae dan bisa terus hidup bersama dengan Kil Da Ran yg sudah dinikahinya dengan identitas Seo Yoon Jae.

Rating : 7/10
Recommended utk yg demen sama cerita fantasi dan cerita cinta Ibu Guru dan murid.

My Comment :

Cerita : Family drama dan ceritanya asik, bikin ketagihan nontonnya, rasanya seperti ngekost 2 bulan di rumah keluarga Hwang.  Ide ceritanya menarik dan alur ceritanya mulus, nyambung dan enak nontonnya.  Kombinasi sedih, senang, lucu, haru, keren banget.

Cerita sekilas begini nih ... Hwang Chang Sik sebagai kepala keluarga bingung dan galau karena tiba-tiba rumah dan kebun yg selama ini dia dan keluarganya kelola ternyata diminta kembali oleh pemiliknya.  Rupanya selama ini dia merahasiakan dari keluarganya bahwa kebun yg mereka tinggali bukanlah miliknya tapi hanya dipinjamkan selama 10 tahun.  Setelah 10 tahun, pemilik yg sebenarnya yaitu Baek In Ho, yg adalah sahabat Chang Sik, meminta kembali tanah perkebunan tsb.  Itu karena usaha pabrik makanan Baek In Ho hampir bangkrut. Keluarga Hwang langsung syok setelah mengetahui hal tsb. karena harus segera keluar dari rumah dan kebun dalam waktu kurang dari 3 bulan. Nenek Hwang dan Park Bok Ja, istri Hwang Chang Sik paling tidak rela meninggalkan rumah dan kebun. Hwang Chang Sik terpaksa patungan dengan 4 anak laki-lakinya Hwang Tae Sik (therapist), Hwang Tae Beom (wartawan TV), Hwang Tae Hui (Polisi) dan Hwang Tae Pil (pengangguran) untk biaya pindah dan sewa rumah.

Saat mereka akan sewa rumah, terdengarlah berita bahwa Baek In Ho yg sedang berada di China untuk perjalanan bisnis mengalami kecelakaan dan hilang hingga diperkirakan meninggal.  Berita sedih sekaligus gembira dan ada harapan kebun tsb. bakal jadi milik keluarga Hwang jika tak ada yg tahu soal pinjam pakai selama 10 tahun.  Tapi ternyata, putri Baek In Ho yaitu Baek Ja Eun mengetahui hal itu dan punya surat perjanjian pinjam pakai tsb.  Baek Ja Eun datang ke Kebun Ojakgyo dan menuntut haknya ....  Bagaimana kelanjutannya, nonton aja ... seru deh ...

Romance : Minimal ada 4 pasangan yg lucu-lucu dan bikin gemezzzzz .... Yg pertama adalah Hwang Tae Beom dan Cha Seo Young.  Yg kedua Hwang Tae Hui dan Baek Ja Eun.  Nah kedua pasangan ini paling bikin kita demen nonton film ini ... terus belakangan muncul pasangan yg unik yaitu Hwang Tae Pil (Maknae alias si Bontot) dan Nam Yeo Eul (alias Imo Nim = tante ... he he he ...).  Yg agak garing Hwang Tae Sik dan Kim Mi Sook.  Seru banget deh!

Cast : ada 4 cowo ganteng -- Hwang Tae Beom, Hwang Tae Heui, Hwang Tae Pil, dan Kim PD. Sungguh menyenangkan melihat mereka :)
Cewenya sih ... lumayan OK.  Enggak nyebelin deh yg penting.

Ending : Happy deh ...

Highly recommended!

My comment :

Cerita :
Ide cerita dan jalan ceritanya lumayan enak ditonton.  Ada isinya, bukan sekedar parade cowo ganteng atau cewe cantik.  Cerita berawal dari Polwan Cha Bong Sun yg sulit mengendalikan emosi hingga harus konsultasi ke psikolog sebagai persyaratan untuk naik jabatan.  Seraya cerita bergulir kita jadi paham mengapa Bong Sun memiliki sifat seperti itu.  Demikian pula Jae Hee seorang milyuner pemilik butik Perche yg menyamar jadi tukang parkir valet.  Belakangan kita tahu mengapa dia memiliki phobia social sehingga lebih suka jadi tokoh di belakang layar.

Ada pelajaran bagus di akhir cerita.  Waktu Bong Sun curhat pada Jae Hee mengapa Ayah Bong Sun yg juga jadi polisi tidak pernah melakukan sesuatu yg baik malah kasar dan jahat pada Bong Sun, Jae Hee menjawab dengan bijak.  Seorang bapak akan baik terhadap  anak dan istrinya, karena pernah merasakan kebaikan dan cinta kasih dari bapaknya, dan bapaknya dari kakeknya.  Sedangkan seorang bapak yg kasar, keras, dan terkesan jahat tidak selalu berarti dia tidak menyayangi anaknya, tapi mungkin dia tidak tahu caranya menyatakan kasih sayang karena dia tidak pernah merasakan itu dari bapaknya.  Mungkin kakeknya juga begitu terhadap bapaknya, mendidik dengan kekerasan bukan dengan kasih sayang.  Risih kalau bersayang-sayangan.  Cerita kali ini berpihak pada bapak.  Cocok diputar untuk menyambut hari Bapak he he he ....

Pemain :
Yoon Shi Yoon yg sukses dalam serial Baker King, di film ini jadi designer tas.  Menurut saya, agak kaku.  Lee Ji Ah cocok jadi polisi, aktingnya masih wajar dan tidak nyebelin.  Yg paling OK adalah Han Go Eun.  Akting bagus, anggun, cool, dan keren penampilannya.  Boleh contek baju, asesoris dan dandanannya. 

Ada personil Beast, Lee Ki Kwang yg jadi polisi Joo Ma Ru, junior sekaligus partner tugas Cha Bong Sun.  Juga merangkap peran sebagai singer Pink Chicken.  Lucu juga nih.

Ending : Happy
Rating : 8/10
