RH Plus drama review

RH Plus is a drama based on a manga by the same name. It's tells the live of 4 vampires (Kiyoi, Masakazu, Ageha and Makoto) who live together in a old mansion. Masakazu is a college student who gets information on criminal activities while Ageha and Makoto end up having to help him even if they may not want to. Kiyoi being the eldest in the group is the one taking care of them while they go fight crime that the police aren't willing to do.

It's a very good vampire series that I have never heard of. I came to learn about RH Plus by a drama site while scrolling down to see what's new or good. I just clicked on it and after the first couple of minutes I was hooked. It's not like your average vampire stories now that just deal with love. The acting in this story is awesome it looks like all the actors have known each other for years. They play the whole "family" right and I love it. All the characters stand out Ageha being the cute vampire who is force against his will to do certain things, Makoto comes off not having a care in the world, Masakazu is the type of guy who wants to be all cool and Kiyoi being a father figure to the rest of the group. It's a really great story with a very great cast that do for-fill the roles of the characters. RH Plus gets a 10 out of 10 being a great drama anyone could watch and it's a pretty short one too only being 13 episodes.

Perfect Girl Evolution


WallflowerV1.jpg
Perfect girl evolution by Tomoko Hayakawa tells a story about a girl name Sunako who tells her crush, her feelings for him but gets rejected and is called ugly. From that day on Sunako gave up on beauty. Her aunt feeling worried for her has four beautiful boys (Kyohei, Takenaga, Yukinojo aka Yuki, Ranmaru) live with Sunako in her mansion. If the four boys transforms Sunako into a perfect lady they will then get free rent. Focus on getting free rent they will do anything to transform Sunako even if she doesn't want to be change. They now start a long and hard journey trying to transform a girl who won't change even if life depended on it.

I loved this manga since it started it has made me laugh and cheered me up when I was feeling down. One word describes Sunako and that word is badass! She is my favorite character and by far one of the only female characters I could stand and like. Sunako is the type of person I want to be. She's strong and straight forward and could kick some ass. She's obsessed with darkness, horror movies, blood, and anything dark. I love how she calls beautiful things "creatures of light" and gets nosebleeds when ever she sees one. Kyohei is hard headed, very popular and cool. He could fight and only cares to get free rent or the lowest amount required. Even if he says that's the only thing he cares for you could see he does care for Sunako. Takenaga is the smartest out of the group. He's caring, shy, and the only one who doesn't run away much from Sunako's morbid habits. Takenaga came from a wealthy family of flower masters. He was sent to the mansion to become a little more "normal" because of the pressure of becoming the heir he started to ignored everyone. Yuki  is gently and is the most afraid of Sunako when they first met. He's cute, very shy and the one who has to dress up as a girl whenever they need it. When it comes down to my favorite of the guys Yuki is my second favorite. I could see him as a little kid who gets easily scared of things that look scary. I always end up saying "aww" whenever he does something I find cute. Last but not least Ranmaru, Ranmaru is my least favorite but it isn't because he's a playboy. Ranmaur's personality is like those guys who think their so beautiful and whenever a "ugly" girl is around they break out or try to get away from them as soon as possible. He came from a wealthy family and as Takenaga he's parents sent him there to become more "normal".  

All the characters bring something to the story unlike other mangas where you could take away a character and nothing will change. In this manga you have the character who doesn't give a crap even if that's not true, the playboy, the cute one, the smart one, and the one who doesn't want to change. All their personalities are balance and not one character is more out shine than the others. Perfect girl evolution gets a 10 out of 10. I like all  the characters even if their personalities aren't the greatest. They still in some way make me like them. The art work isn't the best but the story is what sales this manga not the art. The art could be overlooked by the story being told. Anyone could read this and get a kick out of it.

Bokura Ga Ita by Yuki Obata


Happy Holidays~ 
Ms. Lee Min Ho and I watched the Bokura Ga Ita live-action movie several weeks ago so I decided to review the anime, since things with real human beings are more Ms. Lee Min Ho's district. Anyway, to be blunt, I hate the art, the standard slipping quite often throughout the series. The characters’ sometimes look like they have pig noses and it often looks like they are unfinished. It was very difficult for me to get past the art and watch the anime, but it was worth it since the plot is adorable and heart-warming.
                The sweet and innocent Nanami “Nana” Takahashi is a first year high school student who ends up in the same class with the incredibly popular Motoharu Yano, who she keeps hearing rumors about from her new classmates. When she first meets him, she can’t tell whether she likes or hates him. But eventually she realizes that she’s completely smitten with him and works to become his support, which wins him over. But as a couple, they struggle with trusting one another, especially Motoharu whose ex-girlfriend was with another man at the time of her death. He’s terrified of being betrayed again and abandoned by Nanami. Plus there his ex-girlfriend’s younger sister, Yuri Yamamoto, who believes she understands Motoharu best, relying on him often and attempting to get between the couple. But they are able to overcome these challenges because even if they fight, their love for each other draws them back together.
Again, the arts pretty bad, but the story itself is beautiful, cute, and sentimental since the couple really is in love. I love Nanami since she sounds so much like a guy at times, saying she’ll be support him, protect him, and watch over him. One of my favorites is:
Yano. The person whom you really, really love may not be here anymore. And you might feeling lonely, but, there are people in this world who really, really love you, so shouldn't that equal it all out? So, please don’t ever think that you’re alone. I’ll be watching over you. I’ll always be watching over you. I promise to always watch over you. You’re not alone.”
She’s always there for him, strong enough for the emotional weak Motoharu, another reason I think she makes such an interesting protagonist; that and the fact she isn't all that shy about her feelings for Yano. I mean she doesn't outlandishly flirt with him or anything, simply lets him know that she likes and cares about him. Then there’s Motoharu, who’s rather possessive as a boyfriend and is somewhat annoying since he keeps letting his past hurt Nanami, choosing to avoid it instead of confronting it like a man. But with Nanami’s help his able to confront his past and feelings for his ex-girlfriend, finally able to truly move forward. Though sometimes he comes off as self-centered and somewhat cold, he really does love Nanami and is usually very amorous towards her. He’s happiest and strongest when he’s with her, telling her once that all he want is a “reality where I exist and you’re right there next to me”.  They’re an adorable, lovey-dovey couple that is able to overcome many obstacles together. Though the art is pretty terrible, amateur at best, I still recommend getting past it and focusing on this sweet, yet dramatic love story.

Heartstrings Review



Hey everyone it’s me Miss Lee Minho once again. I hope everyone in the U.S is having a good Thanksgiving or had one and I hope everyone around the world is having an amazing day. Today’s review is a Korean drama called Heartstrings also known as You’ve Fallen for Me. It came out in June 29, 2011 through August 18, 2011 and it has 15 episodes in total. What I’m going to write about is the summary, the cast, and my opinions on this drama.
            The drama is about Lee Kyu Won and Lee Shin they both go to the same University. Lee Kyu is majoring in traditional Koran instruments she ends up meeting Lee Kyu Won who is majoring in modern music. At first they didn’t like each other at all because Lee Shin was just arrogant and thought that all girls loved him and just didn’t care about anyone only about his mom, sister and his first love Jung Yoon Soo who is way older than him. Lee Kyo Won starts falling for him at first but she doesn’t want to because he is a jerk and loved someone else. Later on Lee Shin starts falling for her as well and he treats her like the only thing he sees. Throughout this drama you see problems between them both and between the play they are doing which is a big event. They had a freaking awesome cast in my opinion.
            The first person in this drama is Jung Yong Hwa he plays the role of Lee Shin. He comes out in my favorite kpop group CN Blue.  If you haven’t heard his music you are crazy go hear it right now!!!! Hahahaha. He was born on June 22, 1989 he has also comes out in the drama You’re Beautiful which I have seen. First of all he is just amazing I love him, his acting was incredible I love how he just always cares for her when he found out that he liked her.  Park Shin Hye played Lee Kyu Won she was born in February 18, 1990 she acts, models, and sings. She has come out in dramas like The King Dramas, You’re Beautiful, Goong S, and more. I liked how she acted in this drama I felt that the paper fit her perfectly, in my opinion she acted way better here than the drama You’re Beautiful.  Song Chang Ui played Kim Suk Hyun he was born on January 24, 1979 he is an actor, model, and singer. He has come out in dramas such as The Great Seer, Syndrome, Cinderella Man, and more. When I saw him I thought he was very handsome for being in his thirties. I really liked his character because he fought for Kyu Won no matter what and treated her like a little sister. Jo Woo Jung played Jung Yoon Soo she was born in August 28, 1984 she acts and is a model as well. She comes out in Cheongdamdong Alice, My shining Girl, Gloria, and more. At first I didn’t like her character because she had Lee Shin liking her and she didn’t really treat him well but then it’s understandable, I liked her relationship with Kim Suk Hyun though. Kim Yoon Hye plays Han Hee Joo she was born on May 24, 1991 she acts and models. She has come out in dramas like I need a Fairy, Crime Squad, and Supermom that’s it. I hated her character I couldn’t stand her a bit. Especially the way she treated the character that likes her. That got in my nerves so much towards the end I didn’t hate her anymore but didn’t like her either.  Kang Min Hyuk playes Yoe Joon Hee he was born on June 28, 1991 he sings and acts. He is also in the awesome group CN Blue. He has come out in the dramas You Who Rolled Unexpectedly and Its Okay, Daddy’s Girl.  His character was just a cute type of character I don’t really enjoy those type of characters but I did like him. He also did everything for Yoe Joon Hee even though she treated him bad so it made me respect him because of that.  Other cast member are  Lee Hyun Jin as Hyun Ki, Young Im Se Mi as Cha Bo Woon,  Lee Jung Hun as Im Tae Joon, Jung Kyung Ho as Goo Jung Eun , Jang Seo Won as Lee Soo Myung , Shin Goo as Lee Dong Jin, and many more you could check out the rest here DramaWiki/Heartstrings.com.
            The drama I loved for sure but there were things that I didn’t like, not many though. What I didn’t like was that Lee Shin when he was with Lee Kyu Won in the drama he cared way too much for her its good though but he kind of seem like a creep in some points well in my eyes that’s it though. Towards the end I feel that he breaking up with her and the Director asking Woo Jung something could have just been added to the parts when the play was being performed and being prepared for I just felt that the last two were just kind of a waste. But, there are a lot of parts that I like k lets start of when Joon Hee saw Hee Joo crying and he was hearing music so he goes towards her puts his headphones on her and starts crying with her. Lee Shin was at the hospital with Kyu Won and they were outside in the night he tells her not to stop liking him, I just love that part. I really did like the last part of the drama though when Shin and Kyu Won broke up but a year later or more they got back together. I liked many things as you can see and more but that’s all I remember at this moment. I loved this drama this is on my top drama list.
            I give this drama a 9 out of 10 Monohorns I loved that plot of it. It has that romance and cuteness that all girls want to see. If you are looking for something with romance this is for you I totally recommend it in a heartbeat. Check out this drama as soon as possible if you haven’t. Thank so much for reading my blog today and please check out my other reviews. You could see this drama on dramafever.com.

Faith Review

      Hey its Miss Lee Minho, today’s review is going to be a drama that just ended this week which is Faith. Staring in this drama is of course my only soul mate haha Lee Minho. This drama started on 2012-Aug-13 to 2012-Oct-30. I don’t think this drama was based on anything. What I am going to talk about in this review is what the drama is about, the cast, and my opinion on the overall drama.     
      Faith takes place during the Goryeo Dynasty era, it is about this warrior named Choi Young who finds this warm whole thing and goes to the future in 2012. He goes to the future because his queen got cut badly on her throat by people who were trying to kill her. So, the only way she could be saved is by the people from “heaven”. He gets there and of course everything seems weird to him he asks a man for a doctor the man points at a building where they are holding a convention for doctors. He gets there and sees a lady he finds her and gets her he ends up taking her to the past. The lady is a plastic surgeon named Yoo Eun Soo before she goes he makes her take things that she will need. They get to the queen and she saves her life. Young promised that he would take her back he takes her to be the worm whole was at. The king’s gets there before she could leave. He commands Young not to let her go because he wants her to be there doctor Choi Young listens to the Doctor and doesn’t let her go but she ends up stabbing him. She felt bad because she didn’t actually think she was going to stab him and saves his life. Throughout the drama they encounter problems especially with this evil guy and you also see romance between Eun Soo and Choi young. There is also romance between the King and Queen that is very cute.
      The first person and main character is this drama is Lee Minho he played Choi Young who is the worrier in this drama and protects the King, Queen, and especially Eun Soo. I think Lee Minho did a great job once again in my opinion his character was serious and he was able to portray that. He never fails to amaze me. The second main person in this drama is Kim Hee Sun who played Yoo Eun Soo she is the plastic Surgeon who had to go back to the past and live her life there. I really liked the character she played her character at first was kind of annoying because she was just winning a lot but she of course had a reason to. But, later on you get use to it and start liking the character and I felt that she was very cute sometimes. She has come out in other dramas like smile again, My Fair Lady, and many more. The third person is Yoo Oh Sung who played Gi Chul he is the evil guy who wanted to have more things to make him happy he ended up finding out about Eun Soo and he wanted her so he could go to “heaven” with her. He is a type of evil character that at times is funny so you can’t really hate him I ended up really like his character. He has come out in dramas like Kim Soo Ro, Invincible Lee Pyung Kang as a cameo, Swallow the Sun, and many more. Sung Hoon played Chun Eum Ja he was part of Gi Chul group he was practically just a helper trying to get Eun Soo. Shin Eun Jung played Hwa Soo In who played as well part of Gi Chul group trying to get Eun Soo. Ryoo Duk Hwan played the King and Park Se Young who played the queen. If you want to know more of the cast just press this link Dramawiki/Faith.com. The cast overall did a pretty good job in acting. I never seen them act somewhere else besides lee Minho so I can’t judge their acting that much.
     The drama was pretty good I really only watched it to see Lee Minho and it just stayed like that throughout the whole drama. This drama was mainly an action and historical drama and I m not really into that. But there were a lot of scenes that I liked. I like the parts of the Queen and King because it shows how they meet each other and it talks about what really happened between them. In the beginning they didn’t really liked each other but they started falling in love with each other throughout the whole drama. I loved the romantic scenes with Young and Eun Soo like when she got poisoned and told him to sit in back of her so she could rest on him I thought that was just really cute. The last two episodes really made this drama good I’m not going to say much but I really did like the ending. I didn’t like the last scene though (small SPOILER) because they didn’t kiss once again. I don’t know why but in dramas they can’t ever end them with kissing what’s up with that. I hated how in the beginning of the drama as some of the characters were fighting they used really cheesy sound affects but its good that is was only on the first episode. But, throughout the drama they used really bad blood affects it kind of made the drama look low budget I felt that they could have done something better instead of using that kind of blood affect. But overall the drama wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.
     I give this drama a 7 out of 10 monohorns I give it this rating because some of the affects really bugged me. It was mostly action and historical drama many people might like that I just didn’t so it got boring sometimes to me. I do recommend this drama to people if they want to see action it could end up being your favorite drama. I personally won’t see this drama again but maybe the last two episodes ya because I really enjoyed them. That’s all I have to say thanks for taking your time and reading this. I hope you guys leave comments about what you thought about this drama I want to hear others opinions.

Usagi Drop: Cute and Creepy


~Konbanwa~
Nadeshiko-chan here, reviewing Bunny Drop by Unita Yumi, a manga I’m not quite sure I’d recommend. I have very mixed feelings on this josei- oh yeah, by the way, this was my very first josei! And it sure was memorable. Alright let me explain this curious little manga. Daikihi is a 30-year-old bachelor acts like an overgrown teenager of a man, has just found out that his grandfather is dead. When he travels back to his hometown for his grandfather’s funeral, Daikihi and his family are shocked to discover that the old man had an illegitimate child. On top of that, it was with a much younger woman, she’s in her 20s I believe. Rin is the name of this child and catches Daikihi’s attention since she’s a rather quiet little girl and obviously helpless, not knowing anyone in the family, her mother having abandoned her after the grandfather’s death, and having to cope with the death of her father at such a young age. Daikihi seems to be the only one sensitive to this little girl’s feeling and is outraged when he sees how his family only sees her as an embarrassment, not wanting anything to do with her. In a fit of angry spontaneity, he declares he’s going to take care her himself. The first 6 volumes are adorable, Daikihi and Rin making an adorable father-daughter pairing, Daikihi being rather immature for a parent and Rin being pretty mature and independent for a 6 year old. It’s really funny and rather heartwarming watching Daikihi try to figure out parenthood and the proper way to raise Rin; Rin really becomes a big part of Daikihi’s life and he admits that all the sacrifices he’s made her were definitely worth it. Then Daikihi’s relationship with Yukari Nitani, a single mother, also keeps the manga interesting for those romantics; plus they also have the adorable friendship between Rin and Yukari’s son Kouki. In fact in volume 5, the manga fast-forwards to when the two are in high school, and you can see the Kouki definitely wants to be more than friends. You can’t help but root for Kouki as he tries to win Rin’s heart, realizing the mistakes he made in the past.
But then, volume 7 and 8 come, then this adorable little josei becomes chillingly disturbing. Try to guess what sick twist the Unita Yumi came up with? Have Rin fall in love, not with Kouki, or even the smart boy from her class, no, she has Rin fall in love Daikihi! What the heck?! And like an idiot, I kept reading, I hoping that maybe because Daikihi was the first stable thing in her life, she only thought she was in love with him because of the drama going on with Kouki and meeting her mother. But that’s not the case; at some point, even Kouki’s and her mother are supporting her! At least they made it slightly less disgusting by revealing that Rin isn’t actually the grandfather’s daughter, but rather his adoptive daughter; Rin’s mom had gotten pregnant and he had volunteered to help raise Rin. But this only makes it slightly less disturbing though since we still have the huge age difference and the fact that Daikihi is practically Rin’s father! What made me even madder was that Daikihi, noble, kind-hearted father-figure Daikihi, actually accepts her feelings! They get together after her graduation, I felt so sick and disappointed in both in them. This adorable manga became something so creepy. Still, I don’t really think Rin loves Daikihi romantically, nor do I believe that Daikihi really loves Rin romantically. I feel Rin, after the abandonment of her mother and death of her “father” grew too emotionally dependent on Daikihi, so as graduation and such came, she became scared of leaving him and all the new changes she’d have to face. Then I think she took the concerns she had about Daikihi getting older and romance as a way to stay with him, to have things stay exactly as they were. Then there’s Daikihi, who never really says he loves Rin and even tells her that she can leave him for a younger boy whenever she wants, not to worry about him. Never says “I love you”, just that he’ll be with her. He just doesn’t look like he really see her as a lover, I think he’s just worried about Rin and doing what she wants or something, I’m not really sure.
Anyway, because of the creepiness of volumes 7-10, I can’t really recommend this manga. And I know what you’re thinking, if I thought it was so disturbing, why I would read all 10 volumes. Well technically I only read to 9, but anyway I’m stubborn and was idiotically hopeful that something was going to change. But when I got to 9 and Rin tells Daikihi she wants them to have a baby and make them as happy as Daikihi made her, I realized it was futile and stopped. But the first 4 volumes of the parent-child relationship are adorable and I highly recommend reading those and stopping. Volume 5-6 is okay since you think Kouki will eventually win Rin’s heart and you could read those chapters, but it’s not as enjoyable when you know Rin’s going to choose her father-figure over her childhood friend. But the arts okay, having a rather unique style compared to other shoujo and josei mangas, so I think you’d have fun reading those first few volumes. But don’t be foolish like me and keep going, it’ll only bring disappointment, anger, and sickness.
You have been warned.

City Hunter



                Hello it’s me miss Lee Minho today I’m going to review for you city hunter. One amazing thing about this drama is that Lee Minho comes out in it so how much better can it get. This drama is based on the manga City Hunter the manga was released in 1985 and it finished in 1992. I think there was also a movie before this drama with Jackie Chan if there wasn’t please corrects me. City Hunter which is a Korean drama came out on the 25th of May 2011 until the 28th of July 2011. What I’m going to talk about if firstly the summary, the cast, and lastly just my opinions of the drama.
                The drama is about Lee Yoon Sung whose father died when he was still being born. His father died because the government sent the father with other men to fight I’m not sure why because I can’t remember. So as the dad was dying his friend Lee Jin Pyo sees him die and tells him he is going to take revenge for his death and the other men who went to fight. He ends up stealing Lee Yoon Sung who at that point is still a baby and gives the mom money thinking that now it was okay but the mom suffers the rest of her life because she lost the only important person to her. So, Lee Yoon Sung and Lee Jin Pyo go to live in Thailand and Lee Yoon Sung gets trained until he was around 28 years old because he was going to take revenge for his father. At this point he doesn’t really know why he is being trained he just thinks that Lee Jin Pyo is his father. He ends up finding out about why he is being trained and then decides to actually take revenge but he thinks that his mother is a terrible person because Lee Jin Pyo told him that she left him. He then goes to Seoul, Korea to work for the Blue house which is part of the plan because he is trying to get back at 5 specific people that work in the government. Lee Jin Pyo before Lee Yoon Sung left tells him that he can’t fall in love because that will mess up the plan. As you can see it also has some romance in it he ends up meeting Kim Na Na his love interest. From there’s a lot of things that happen but one thing I could say is that he doesn’t really kill people because he doesn’t think that it is the solution not like his “father” who thinks it is.
                The cast of this drama I found to be marvelous I loved them all I think that everyone just did a really excellent job at acting. The main character is one and only Lee Minho who plays Lee Yoon Sung. I felt that he did an remarkable job once again I wasn’t disappointed in his acting I felt like I just fell re in love with him and his character. He has came out in many dramas like of course Boys Over flowers my favorite and first drama that I have ever watched, personal taste, mackerel run, I am Sam, Secret campus, and his new drama Faith. The love interest Kim Na Na was played by Park Min Young I really liked her acting she acted tough but at the same time cute will that’s the good word to describe her but she was just amazing. She has come out in dramas like I am Sam, running, Time Slip Dr. Jin, and many more. Lee Jin Pyo was played by Kim Sang Joong I really liked his character he is the one of those character that you will love and hate. He has come out in dramas such like Goong, Mom has grown horns, The Chaser, and many more. One of my favorite character was Kim Young Joo played by Lee Joon Hyuk he is the character that is against Lee Yoon Sung but when you get to know who he really is you will just start to care for him but when you see the drama don’t get to attach to him. Other Characters and cast are Kim Sang Ho as Bae Shik Joong, Jung Joon as Kim Sang Gook, Lee Seung Hyung as Song Young Deok, Baek Seung Hyun as Park Ho Shik, Lee Kwang Soo as Go Ki Joon, Yang Jin Sung as Shin Eun Ah, Goo Ha Ra who is in a kpop group named Kara, and lastly Hwang Sun Hee as Jin Se Hee of course there is more people who came out in the drama so if you want know who they are just go to dramawiki.com and to learn more about the cast.
                I just loved this drama it is on my top dramas. There are many things that I loved about it let’s start with their soundtracks there are two songs that I really liked which were Sad Run and Cupid by Girls Days. Sad Run there wasn’t singing in it you could say it’s more instrumental I think that’s what you would call it. I usually don’t go with those types of songs but I felt it just went so well with the drama and it had a good beat. Cupid by Girls Days was just a super pulchritudinous song every time it came out it usually came out with Goo Ha Ra’s character so every time I hear this song I think about her and it went perfectly with her character as well. This drama had many cute romance scenes between Lee Yoon Sung and Kim Na Na There was this part of the drama when she was sleeping in his coach he gets close to her face to kiss her she wakes up sees him and he doesn’t care and goes for it. When they first meet as well it was just funny because he was supposedly a man whore trying to seduce this lady that was dating someone from the government but it was just hilarious. I also just liked the action in it and I don’t really like action type of stuff but here I didn’t mind it I got really into to it. I really enjoyed how every ending was like a cliff hanger it made you want more every time the drama was ending I was falling of my seat and screaming wanting to know what was going to happen next. There weren’t any scenes that I hated mostly scenes that were really good because they got me mad.
                So, overall I give this drama 10 out of 10 monohorns. I give it this rating because Lee Minho’s acting was astonishing and not just that it kept me interested in it. It made me want to see episode after episode it made me happy, mad, laugh, and sometimes want to tear up. If you get these emotions of course this drama would be good. To tell you the truth I first saw this drama because of lee Minho being in it but I am so grateful I saw it because it turned out to be great. This drama also has the perfect amount of action and love so that makes it better. This is all I have to say I hope you enjoyed my review and please comeback and read other reviews that I will make in the future see you next time and have a great day. Also please leave comments in all of our blogs telling us giving us feedback and what you thought about that manga, anime, or drama. THANK YOU!!!!!

She also meets Eun-Gyeol and throughout the drama they become close friends which actually Eun-Gyeol starts liking her but he still thinks she is a guy so throughout the drama he is scared that he turned gay but at the end accepts it. The only person who knows that she is actually a girl is the schools doctor named Jang Min-Woo he decided to keep her secret after hearing her out but warns her that one day everyone will find out then she will have to leave. But in the middle of the drama Kang Tae-Joon finds out that she is a girl but doesn’t say anything because he doesn’t want her to leave slowly they both start liking each other but cant obviously say nothing about them liking each other if not she will have to leave especially that someone else found that she is a girl.
            The cast of this drama has a lot of kpop people the person who plays Jae –Hee is sulli who is from a group called f(x). She has come out in other dramas not many but I haven’t seen those so this time was the first time that I actually saw her act. I think she did a great job the character didnt act to cute or do trying too hard to be a guy she just acted naturally. The second actor was MinHo from Shinee he played Kang Tae-Joon.  This is his second drama that he has acted in I never seen the other one. His acting wasn’t that bad but I think it could have been better I just felt something was missing with his acting but I don’t know what but for a kpop rapper he did pretty well. Another kpop artist that came out was Hwang Kwang-Hee who is from ZE:A it is said that the whole group or other group members of that kpop group come out has background students but you never really get to see them. Kwang-Hee played a gay guy who like Eun-Gyeol he is always putting chapstick on and he is just a funny character. I can’t really say much about his acting because he didn’t come out a lot especially in the ending of the drama. That was all the kpop people that came out now the non kpop people the first person is Lee Hyun-Woo who played Eun-Gyeol I absolutely loved him he is my favorite character in this drama. I felt that his acting was great his character was suppose to be adorable and cute and I felt that he did amazing playing that. His smile in the drama was just cute when you see it you will faint from all the cuteness hahaha. The doctor was played by Ki Tae-Young he was very serious in the whole drama I guess he was good at the acting I never seen him act in other dramas so I can’t say much but he was pretty good looking and has a good sense of style. Kim Ji-Won played Seol Han-Na she was the character that had a big crush on Kang Tae-Joon because they have known each other since small she plays the antagonist at first but she gets nicer at the end. Kang Ha-Neul played Min Hyun-Jae I really liked this character at first you think he is not good but at the end you get to know him and understand him better. He is jealous of Kang Tae-Joon because he is a better high jumper and wants to win him but he has his own reasons why which if you see the drama you will find out. Other actors that were in this drama were Seo Jun-Young, Lee Young-Eun, and Kang Kyeong-Jun.
                There were many cute things that I loved about this drama and many that just annoyed me. First let’s talk about the cute things I loved how I get to know all the character more deeply they didn’t really do that in the Japanese drama. A scene that I like was when Kang Tae-Joon already knew that she is a girl and the bus goes buy which it was raining that day he stands in front of her and protects her form getting wet it is a small scene but I just love it’s that scene when you know that he starts caring about her. But the scene that I loved more was the parts with Jae-Hee and Eun-Gyeol because they are just cute. When they are eating S'more together, when they are in the laundry room, oo and I how could I forget when he protects her from crashing into something with the bike she was riding you will understand this part when you see it. There are so many cute scenes in the drama that I feel that many people will like maybe not these but other ones. The parts that I didn’t like were these first of all the reason for her going to Korea ya he is you favorite high jumper and doesn’t want to jump so you want to help him but in reality who really goes to their favorite something and encourages them to do whatever they quite on doing they should have thought more about her reason. I also hated the scene where she is dressed like a girl and still no one figured out that she was a girl!!!!! No offense but are they blind she is dressed like a girl how can you not tell and she also has a girly figure and voice you could still tell that she is a girl even though she is dressed like a guy.
            So I give this drama 8 out of 10 monohorns the reason I give this drama 8 is her reason why she left and that people couldn’t tell that she was a girl but besides that I just loved this drama. If you want something cute and lovable I recommend you to see this drama. I know this is one I will see again in the near future. But if you don’t like gender benders you might not like this drama but still please give it a chance you will never know you could end up falling in love with it. Thanks for reading this review see you next time :).
