First off, I absolutely adored this drama. It had its flaws and ran on a bit, but it was a delight to watch and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys kdramas. That said, I first watched a fansubbed version of this right after it had wrapped in Korea and while the subtitles were well done, I wanted an "official" region 1 version for my collection. Imagine my excitement when it became available! I bought both vol. 1 and vol. 2. The packaging is great, vol. 1 includes a lovely photobook of the F4 and Jan Di, the disk quality is great, and the subttles are OK (there are some discrepancies, i.e some names are not quite what they should be), but there is one MAJOR difference from the fansubbed version--the backround music is different! So BE WARNED! If you watched the original Korean release with fansubs, all the backround music from the O.S.T. is completely different. Usually things like this don't bother me and if you've never seen any other version of this you won't notice, but the original songs in the backround were really catchy ones performed by some great Kpop groups! For me, the different music really changes the mood of some of the scenes. I'm sure the original songs are not included due to liscensing issues or some such legal mumbo jumbo, but it kind of sucks for us, who have shelled out quite a bit cash and expected to get the original TV show with its original soundtrack and found that that is not the case. Oh well, all gripes aside, for those who are interested in watching this show for the first time--I highly recommend it. It had its silly eye rolling moments, but the cast (especially the F4 boys) were lovey to watch and the story was very entertaing. But if you are like me and have seen it before and just wanted to add it to your collection--I warn you now, changes have been made.

Hoaaaaa...Once I started watching this drama, it was hard for me to stop and continued till 3-4 am leading to tiring days at work :). But this drama is soooo beautiful, but what enhance this drama evermore is the soundtracks..the songs are really capturing my heart along with the story lines. This is the only drama that I still thought before falling sleep right after watching it. I had even bought the DVD..it is worth it.

I haven't seen such refreshing movie in a very long while and this one IS IT! It's nice to be reminded again and again of how simplicity in the midst of glitz and glamour is even more enchanting (as in the case of Jan Di); innocence, decency and determination can and will always capture ones heart! and the beauty of love and sacrifice between true loyal friends...amazing! Just try to overlook their vanity....the acting is outstanding! You'll laugh a lot, cry a little...it'll move you! It's a pleasant distraction as you'd be glued in your seat to the end! A wonderful entertainment for the young ones and once...young. Buy one! or better yet...give one!

I went back and forth on whether to get this YA version or the Malaysian set from PMP (like I usually buy-it was $70). I didn't really care about the photobook, so I was really torn. In the end, I decided to pay the extra money for this one and it was really worth it. The box set/digipak is super nice and the discs and subs are very high quality. Amazon has the best price I could find for both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. It also arrived really fast because it shipped from within the U.S. :)

A fantastic show! I love it and cannot stop watching it. Lee Min Ho is awesome as are the other actors, but he's my favorite. I recommend this show and this seller. Everything was perfect.

This series was excellent!!!! I wish that i had more opened minded friends so I could recommend this to them.. Unfortunately, many Americans do not embrace subtitles or series from different cultures!!! I was hooked from the first episode!!! I kept rewinding the scene when gyn jon pu gets out of the car on the hwy to get his woman!! I loved that!!! This series seemed like it was made for me because it had everything in it from comedy, drama, action and a great love story!!! Everyone did an excellent job on this series!! It seems I'm hooked on Korean tv now!! I have watched almost everything that is American so now I'm trying something different!!!!

OK, so the other day I found a show called Playful Kiss - it was great. I then decided that I would check out some other Korean shows (I am in USA). This one looked good so I started watching. Basically it was so good that I couldn't stop watching until I was done with all 25 episodes....and now I want to watch it again! This is by far the BEST show I have ever watched PERIOD! You will not be disappointed.

I absolutely love this show!!! I was obsessed w/ watching & finished the entire season in 3 days. I highly recommend this show to anyone who loves romantic shows! I give it 2 thumbs up!!! AWESOME!!! This show is what starting me on Korean shows :)

This was a fabulous drama and I absolutely loved it. I started watching just to see if it was any good and then boom! I was completely and utterly hooked. I enjoyed it tremendously--I cheered for every bit of drama and melodrama. It was so good I could over come the sappy music and cheesy hairstyles. In fact, to those things I say "bring it on!" By the end I loved it all. I feel in good conscience I should warn people that it is really, really hard to not turn to the next episode.

Not all K dramas have good endings, or rather, they don't have fitting ones, and as you enter into the home strech you end up wincing in horror as it spirals down into something awful. But in this one you're in excellent hands. The resolution is satisfying. The heroine is someone you can cheer for and do. It's a must watch. My only regret is that I can't be new to watching this again.

I first saw this on hulu and fell in love with it and had to buy it on DVD. I'm in my mid twenties and this movie made me laugh, cry, and jump for joy. I am so inspired by Jandi's character. What a beautiful heart she has! I told my mother about it and she was reluctant to view a teenage show. She was hooked with the first episode and after the end of each episode she'd say, "Next!". Hahaha. We watched all of the episodes of volume 1 in two days! This is a classic--one of those films and shows everyone should see in their lifetime. I hope my future kids will watch it and love it as much as I did! Kudos!
