I was a bit skeptical about the storyline when I first heard Yoon Eun Hye was playing a guy/girl, it turned out really well! The chemistry between the 4 main characters was great and very natural.

my sister and i have been debating which one of the male lead is better in terms of the character they play ... i still can't decide which one to choose... ... pareho ko silang gusto

sayang, i checked some stores and its still not available. im a fan of Yoon Eun-Hye after her performance in Princess Hours

btw, she does look like a guy there

I heard this is a good one, but the official Korean release does not have English subtitle

I guess I'll have to wait for the YA Entertainment release.

i don't usually watch korean series... but i highly recommend...

The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince

Who Slept with Her / Sexy Teacher / Hot for Teacher
Such a simple plot and very predictable. But if you enjoy sex comedies, then I'd recommend it. BTW, former Miss Korea Kim Sa Rang plays the teacher who teases all the pervs in the school

I'm just disappointed with their musical. I was hoping it would be more... sexy?

GMA 7 is already showing teasers...

sana ABS-CBN finally show this on jan 2008... tagal na nila itong pino-promote laging namo-move. watched this because of...

1. daniel henney

2. the song one love (currently my ringtone)

3. the best ending among the endless love series

The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince

Finally found a DVD with english subs. Currently on Episode 5. It has an Imelda Marcos reference on Episode 1. I hope they'll include it in the tagalized version.

Yoon Eun Hye still won't pass as a guy for me. But I guess most of their younger generation looks like both, just as one of the characters said. For a 24 year old guy, she's still scrawny, and too pretty for a guy

But hey, Lee Jun Ki (King and the Clown) looks like a girl

So far, best funny moments of the series, is when the lead guy is falling for him (Yoon Eun Hye), and beginning to question his sexuality

yeah it was pretty darn funny

and the additional appeal of the series for me is the soundtrack.... even requested my sister to download the albums(i think a total of 3 albums)

RNIverson · « **Reply #97 on:** Dec 30, 2007 at 05:32 PM »

3

I've only seen one

jm33_babe · « **Reply #98 on:** Dec 31, 2007 at 09:22 PM »

my sister corrected me

... it was actually 2 albums... the second one was 2 disc. me bad

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho is fun.. Bad Family is good as well.. Secret Garden is one of the recent ones that I liked.. and Hong Gil Dong as well, about the Korean Robin Hood.. those are the cute/romance ones.. if you like action/suspense stuff, Resurrection, Time of Dog and Wolf and Story of a Man/The Slingshot are pretty good..

newwaveboy · « **Reply #102 on:** Apr 26, 2011 at 02:21 PM »

Korean cinema has really come up strong the last decade... IMO some of their highly-recommended movies:

1. The Brotherhood Of War
2. The Host
3. A Tale Of Two Sisters
4. Oldboy
5. Memories Of Murder
6. Mother
7. 71 Into The Fire
8. Shadowless Sword
9. Sex Is Zero 1 (heard that the sequel was far inferior)
10. many more ....

Hey, thanks for the inputs. I will try to get them all before I go sydney.

We just finished watching spring waltz over the weekend. The other guy Daniel looks familiar, gumanap din pala sya sa XMEN Origin: Wolverine as Agent Zero.

Next title, SECRET GARDEN or My Girlfriend is a gumiho.

Recently watched A Moment to Remember. A very good drama about a girl with an early onset Alzheimer's Disease. My wife cried on this movie. Loved Son Ye-Jin.

My wife just finished watching this. Mas prefer na yung Rooftop Prince. Ok naman sila pareho, siguro kung ano yung mas una mong napanood eh ang nagiging mas prefer.

Next series is BIG. Ok din sya, romantic comedy.

First time Korean telenovela fan here. I saw this movie Shadowless Sword and was mesmerized by the lead female actress named Yoon So-yi. So I searched and was able to see a glimpse of her 2014 telenovela entitled ANGEL's REVENGE (youtube). Panalo! Na addict kme agad ng wife ko! Onto ep 72 na kme out of 105! Pang pinoy din talaga storya mga ganire! :-)

Searching for the next korean telenovela to watch very soon...
