There are KBS , SBS n MBC drama award 2011 this month…i really can’t wait to watch it..
City hunter was good..but the challenger was so strong.They have to fight with 49 days,protect the boss,Athena n strongest from SBS came from Deep Root Tree n A thousand days promise..
From KBS.,What can i say The Princess Man will concuer it..The strong candidate just came from Dream High..i still think no drama can challenge TPM even Glory Jane..
the drama from MBC this year was dissapointed for me..it look like TGL will win it easily.My princess was a strong challenger for TGL..n some the other source already feel Cha seung won will got Daesang award from MBC.
Whatever or Whoever the winner.,the best should deserve it!!!!!!!

i finished watching this drama today and wowwww..what a great drama it is..i m missing dok ko jin already..i have to admit when it was airing i was quite irritated as to why it got higher ratings than city hunter being a lee min ho fan..but after watching this i feel it got the ratings it rightfully deserved..i m glad that i got to watch two great dramas this year..
about this drama,cha seung won..oh my he’s so hot manly and macho no one reaches his level.i love his role..the little boy is so cute n chubby too..oh i just fell in love with the floral proposal ring its so beautiful..even the doctor is cute..its so good i m gonna rewatch it again soon..

I’m very surprised that this drama only got 2.2% or abt 1600 votes, as of tonight! I thought it’d be in the top 5, together with SEGA, TPM, City Hunter, and My Princess. In my mind, that’s where it belongs.
There is so much to love in this series, but I guess Cha Seung Won and Gong Hyo Jin don’t have as many fans as the leads of some other dramas. Some posts complained abt these leads while the drama was being broadcasted. Too bad. They are such good actors.
To me, it is definitely one of the top 3 or 4 KDs of the years!

Greatest love deserve the utmost awards. It’s the greatest romantic and fun show of the year. The song in the show also deserve awards too…

I love dokkojin oppah! Love this drama so much!!!!!!!!!
January 16th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
Ohh My!!!
Never stop laughing when i watch this drama. How can the rating is very low??? When i finished watching this drama, I continued watching City Hall because of Do Ko Jin.
Gong Hyo Jin, already are my favaourite actress, Pasta, Thank You and others already are on my mind. She is very good with less beauty (sorry Gong, but you are the best)
I 100 percent recommend this drama to all Korean Drama fan.
Love this drama, me form Malaysia
