Review :
I'm sure you all know the main attraction of this show is the girls!!! i mean 7 girls from 6 of the hottest k-pop girl groups in one show!!! Where else can you get that, except for 2hr k-pop countdown shows but you don't want to sit through 2hrs of computer cranked out hip hop music just to see some girls do you??
Plus, there's special guests from other k-pop groups to fill in for the girls who has to be away busying with their own careers(you can't expect them to put their career on hold just for this show do you?). Anyway, the format is like a reality show but you won't really see them do too much labour, most of the time just trying to be sexy and to make you laugh cued by the three comedian mcs....
It's now shown on sat 1.40 pm on kbs world..ch 115 for starhub..there's kbs world on miotv too but i dunno what's the ch no. and it's not free like starhub.

How can you insult my Lee Min Ho?!
I think his acting skills are pretty good, although I think BOF offered more opportunities for him to act a full spectrum of emotions from angst to frustration to arrogance to falling in love. I give this drama 4.5 stars out of five. It has a pretty good, substantial storyline. I wish they hadn't made the actress look so ugly with her hairstyle in the first few episodes though. Her look really improved after the makeover.
The OST in this show is terrific too. And I still think of the lovely architecture and interior design of the house they lived in. I'd rank this below Princess Hours though in the category of light-hearted, youthful, and fun-loving romantic dramas.

My Review: I have always love to watch war movies, especially large scale battle scene. Be it ancient or modern warfare. Be it Battle of Normande or Tora Tora Tora, but the best would have been the Chinese version of Three Kingdom.
I bought this drama in Singapore's Poh Kim last week, only because I couldn't get an English-subtitled version in my favourite DVD shops in Melbourne's Chinatown. I tell you, K-Drama, HK-Drama, T-Drama and J-Drama are so much cheaper in Melbourne than here!
I've only watched three episodes so far, simply cause I shoudn't spend my vacation here watching drama! Harharhar!
Seven-11, have you watched "A Man Called God" starring the lead actor here? THe current wave of K-drama in the action / spy thriller category, based on manga, are sooooooo good! "IRIS" and "A Man Called God" are highly recommended. I even gushed to AV about how muscular, yet metrosexual, the male leads are! Drop-dead gorgeous!
