My husband watched this last year and recommended it to me. I loved it so much I watched it twice and again this Christmas and it doesn't disappoint. So funny and great storyline. But the best thing is the score. Every song is brilliant and I can just see this coming to the west end soon. The dancing is slightly over produced but Will and Ryan are so talented, funny and likeable. Maybe not suitable for young children but definitely a film that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Pity it's only on Apple TV so most of my friends and family can't watch it yet.

It's hard to choose my favourite song but Good afternoon is exceptional.

In the last few years I pretty much exclusively watch Korean television (apart from a few good Chinese dramas) and this is why... Incredible story telling, brilliant acting and an ability to create a story where warmth, kindness, humility, villains, tragedy and decency are skilfully blended into a story that takes you on a journey with enough realism and fiction to leave you satisfied and happy. They don't have to be rom coms, it doesn't seem to matter what the genre, most (of course not all) leave you not just entertained but are thought provoking too.

With this in mind and all the hype and awards this film received, I felt that I should watch it.

I can take weird, some parts of many K dramas are a bit weird but in a good or at least tolerable way. It wasn't that I didn't understand what the writer was trying to convey, I just felt it was all over the place, with no actual storyline. K dramas are not like US or UK dramas, they are basically one long film divided into episodes which allows complex characters, touching and thought-provoking moments and interesting story lines to develop. For this reason, the film felt really short to me. I'm so disappointed. The acting was good but I felt the sofa scene and ending in very poor taste not to mention the unbelievable recovery of the son! I think I will stick to my well selected K dramas and definitely avoid this writer from now on. Don't judge all Korean television by this drama unless of course you loved it which surprisingly many seem to.
