    In Need Of Romance

    I really enjoyed this Korean drama. Proof of this is I finished the whole series in one day (Using Netflix, of course), which is pretty cause I stayed up till 4am so I could finish it. So, I really recommend that you watch this one.

    Prepare to cry your eyes and fall in love with the characters. Oh and laugh at their silliness. Gotta admit though I wasn't happy with the ending because she didn't end up with the guy I was rooting for. LOL BUT its still worthy to be on your to be watch list if you love Korean dramas. By The Way it might just be me, BUT In need of romance definitely reminds me Sex and the City. LOL

    Adorably Attractive

    This show is refreshing for a Romcom. It actually shows some sweet realism for this genre, without the intense family or business interference often found in KDramas. The conflicts are within each character and their development is so enjoyable to see.

    The main actress expressed her adorable character so well, she was as fun to watch as the male lead, Lee Jin-wook, who was also adorable in this role. His acting is excellent, of course, and as a bonus, he's easy on the eyes. I actually think it's one of his best roles, showing a range of emotions.

    All of the secondary characters are enjoyable to watch and the friendships feel genuine. You will not be bored while watching this series. It's fun to binge and re-watch immediately.

    Best kdrama ever

    This is not the typical kdrama, which has the goal of being as ridiculous as possible to make us laugh, but a touching tale of childhood friends who reunite after being years apart. The boy, who knows the girl better than anyone, is able to warm her heart, iced by pain, with his kindness and will to turn her back into who she was and still is inside. Everything the man said, I wish I would have heard them in my darkest times because he would have understood exactly how I felt and cured my fear of feeling anything. The girl's personality is very similar to mine and acts how I do when I am hurt. I could feel my heart sink everytime the boy described her in such a detailed way, and it made me cry like I never did. The jokes are on point and contrast well with the emotional scenes. I have never finished a kdrama so fast and missed it so much. What I loved the most, is that it, almost magically, took away the scars on my heart from the past that I thought would last forever.

    Best of the 3 'I Need Romance' Films

    Let me just start by saying, OMG, Jun Sung's voice is so hot! (I haven't seen many k-dramas featuring actors with baritone voices). It was sometimes hard to focus on Wan's interactions with Joo-Yeon because I was all flustered just listening to him! :)

    This film, like both of the other 'I Need Romance' films, features a love-triangle, but if you are going to pick 1 of the 3 to watch, I think this is the best one. The acting and cinematography are solid, the music is well done, and the plot is slightly less contrived than the other 2.

    ROMANCE RATING: 7/10 There are only a few kiss scenes, but I thought they were pretty well done and I bought the chemistry between Wan and Joo-Yeon.

    If you are into classic K-drama, you'll probably like this one too
