Review

I actually kept the plot really vague as I do not want to spoil it for you all. All I can say is that this drama is absolutely AMAZING!! I highly recommend you watch this drama, it's full of suspense straight from the first episode to the next. The actors are really good too! Lee Jong-Suk is in this drama which I am really happy about and let's just say his acting is believable and superb just like always!~ ^^
This drama has also received the highest viewer ratings and has maintained the number 1 spot!! I think the romance and the plot isn't like the usual plots too which makes the drama even better!!

If there were 10 stars I would definitely rate this drama 10/5 but that wouldn't make sense.. So I think this drama rightfully deserves 5/5 stars!!!!

Korean Drama: A Hundred Years Inheritance

A Hundred Years Inheritance
백년의 유산

Director: Joo Sung-Woo

Starring

Eugene as Min Chae Won
Lee Jung Jin as Lee Se-Yoon
Choi Won-Young as Kim Chul-Kyu
Yoon Ah-Jung as Kim Joo-Ri

Plot

The story is based on a family and their three-generation noodle shop. Min Chae Wons grand-dad wants to find a successor, so the families compete head to head to win. However there is another story going on in the side line about Min Chae-Won and her marriage with Kim Chul-Kyu the son of a wealthy household.


Review

This drama is really good! 
I absolutely love it so far! Every episode leaves you with a cliff hanger and the plot is good too! Even though the plot might not sound that good, about "a family owning a noodle shop for three generations". But that's just like half of what actually is going on in this drama. There is so much more then what the plot says, so I highly recommend you watch 100 years inheritance. I especially find that the story with Chae-Won is more interesting! Also this drama doesn't really contain any k-pop stars or teenagers. It's more family, comedy and   romance. So it basically has adults rather than teenagers, but their acting is fantastic!!

I would give this drama 5/5 stars

Plot

This anime is a continutation of Uta no Price sama 1000% maji love (season 1)
Haruka Nanami is a now a song writer for the group STARISH and they venture into the entertainment industry by joining Shining Products.

Review

I think season 1 of Uta no Prince sama was a big hit, so I kind of have the same expectations for the new season. I was so happy that the producers decided to make season 2 as season 1 was so good! In the new season, new characters have been introduced such as Cecil, who has emerald green eyes! I'm only on episode one and it's quite good so far, but I think season 1 is slightly better but there is still more episodes to go for me to have a better liking. ^_^

Review

I have currently finished episode 16 on dramacrazy.net but there is still another 34 episodes to go and its still airing! So far the drama is good! I haven't actually become hooked onto this drama compare to the other drama's I have watched but the story line is good! I especially like IU's acting!! I was actually hoping for IU to sing in this drama like the previous drama she was in called Dream High in which she played Pil Suk a very sweet character who falls in love with Jason aka Woo Young ^-^

But I think this drama is great to watch the family considering it is a family drama ^__^
Also I was able happy to see Jo Jung-Suk is this drama who played Eun Shi-Gyung in King2Hearts. His acting is amazing! I think in You're the Best! Lee Soon Shin, Jung Suk character is quite funny and he makes this drama really fun to watch and so does IU!!


I would give this drama 4/5 stars

Review

I absolutely love this drama, and felt so sad to see it end, however the ending was really good! Before you watch this I would like to say have a box of tissues prepared as this drama is literally emotional. The plot is amazing!! I was gripped onto this drama from the first episode and in each episode the plot became better and mysteries started to unfold. I think the actors did a great job especially Kim Bum who also played one of the F4 in Boys Over Flowers. Also Eun Ji from A Pink and Reply 1997 was in there which made it an even more pleasure to watch.

I will definitely give this drama 5/5 stars!!!
