Nice storyline that will make you follow through esp after esp. Think Han Hyo Joo has more chemistry with Bae Soo Bin than Lee Seung Ki.

especially for the debut for prince charming Lee Seung Gi..
but, i cant find the page for Lee Seung Gi’s new drama here, My Girlfriend is Nine Tailed Fox..

This is the longest drama I’ve ever watched. But it was SO WORTH IT! And it was NEVER BORING! It was so dramatic from start to finish, in a very interesting and twisted way. GREAT VILLAINS! GREAT MESSAGE! I honestly feel that it changed my perspective on life in many many ways. It teaches about family, money, love, and people in general. It was so good, I can’t express in words just how much I liked it, especially towards the end, it was so beautiful that I cried in a couple of very inspirational scenes.
LOVE YOU LEE SEUNG KI! <3333
And this drama is SO MUCH BETTER than You're Beautiful! SO MUCH BETTER!
WATCH IT NOW!!!!!! Or ELSE…….

i liked the drama but i think it had nothing new at all. the fact of hating and falling for eachother in the end is nothing new and we can see it in almost every korean drama and a girl who has a lot of problems is as same as jundy in boys before flower and the lesson that people dont always get what they want has been used so far in every story based on the conflict between good and bad . i think the rating of 12% is too much for this drama it was compeletly peredictable . well it is not a famouse drama in our country and my friends didnt liked it as well. i think there were many good films which dindnt used second handed methodes and had something new to thalk about but didnt get a good rating. i really cant understand why this drama is so popular!!!!!

This is my favorite drama EVER. This is probably one of those underrated ones, i mean it is so much better than You’re Beautiful, Supposedly the “best” drama of 2009, UNTRUE. In my opinion, i love this storyline, typical hate relationship in the beginning but however falls in love after… However the passion, and the warmth of the acting really makes it a great watch. The evil characters are really evil, and the good guys are really great, passionate and sweet. And this is the only drama were i liked all 4 main characters, they are all great, unlike other dramas i just can’t seem to like the second guy, or the girl is too evil or whatever. In this drama the second guy is also sweet as heck, but i just can’t hate him, because truly he is a good person, and the second girl, so evil, and so… unbearable at times, but truly also is a great person on the inside. This drama is a great watch and everyone should watch it. Plus this couple is my favorite couple ever, their story makes my heart ache, makes me cry and laugh, they are just so cute together! SeungGi and Han Hyo Joo should date in real life.. haha

This drama is very good. However, if possible, you should watch the special. It is very entertaining and you get to see some glimpses of the real personalities of the cast.
