Kae In is very trusting even though she has a habit of being betrayed. However that doesn’t stop her from giving people the benefit of doubt and Jin Ho is no different.

Hi,
Just finished watch this drama. Lee Min Ho (LMH) totally grown up from ‘boys over flower’ to real guy.. another switch mode i guess. Honestly, LMH do have something to offer rather than the ‘cute’ looks. Congrats!
Cant wait to watch his new drama, heard so many comment from the viewer. To LMH ssi, keep up the good work & take care always.. Hwaiting!!

Watched it 3 times. Loved it! LMH has grown to be a great actor. Currently watching City Hunter and that one just blows me away! Another ace for LMH!

I was going along with this show till she makes the usual pro-gay argument that love is love irrespective of gender. I’m old fashioned and not progressive I suppose.
However, since the proposition is framed as “love” (of the conjugal kind), and talking down the importance of gender; does it not follow, with this logic, that there is nothing there to hold back those same privileges from adults who would seek conjugal relations with a minor? Love is love after all. Will we see inter-species marriage next in KDramas?
As a Australian and clueless about Korean culture, I have enjoyed watching these dramas in general. Mainly because they’ve stuck to simple story arcs and maintained traditional cultural values. The shows have focused on people and not the ideologies of those bent on social experimentation.

extremely love this drama!! love lee minho as always

Kee Min Ho and Son Yeh Jin are wonderful. The actors on-screen chemistry is all there and happening well enough, the soundtrack on the end is distracting and often inappropriate. I hope the production people take the hint and hire actual professionals.

Another great drama! Lee Min Ho – no matter what angle looks delicious!
July 22nd, 2011 at 10:01 pm

I watched Personal Taste almost 6 times already, on tv air, online and I actually bought the DVD to watch again. What is great about this story is Soo Ye Jin and Lee Min Ho, both have great chemistry though its does not have fairy tale wondering storyline like BOF. Both of them acted well. LMH is cute and adorable when loves start pouring on Soo Ye JIn. I always feel Lee Min Ho match better with Soo Ye Jin compare to Guem Jandi and Kim Na Na. In personal taste both really mimick it well as couple. Soo Ye Jin please act more drama series. I love to watch you.

[...] Personal taste, pertemuan pertama dalam keadaan yang menyebabkan saling membenci. Disusuli pertemuan kedua dan seterusnya yang penuh dengan salah faham. Namun akhirnya mereka saling jatuh cinta. [...]

lee min ho, you are really a great actor, usually I love watching korean drama,most especially when its played by you, I hardly fall for someone,but YOU are the first one!…I know you are just a big dream for me,but who knows our path cross its way in God’s own time.
I keep on believing that somehow,somewhere and someday…YOU and ME will be TOGETHER!
i started liking you from watching your serials and all.,and now im very much pretty sure that LIKING turns to LOVE
I’ve already watched the BOYS OVER FLOWER, CITY HUNDER AND PERSONAL DAYS (perfect match)…all are really good, u made me insane of continuously watching it
I wish im one of your leading lady, so i can easily hug and kiss YOU!
but i know that all of this is just a HUGE DREAM! but im crossing my fingers that it will happen someday!
May Godbless you and goodluck to your endeavors in life.
