alja's spring is a good story, very interesting, funny, touchy, so romantic...
Chae rim and Lee Min Ki such a very good couple... I think till now this is the best kdrama in 2007....
his drama will really make your lungs jump out of your body..... Why????? It's suuuuuper hilarious, very addictive, and of course, it has moral lessons.....
The story emphasizes the reality among women in 30's..... All about love, friendship, family ties, and the love and hardship for work..... This drama also portrays common problems of women today like divorce, pregnancy, conciousness for the body, problems in work and the misunderstandings among people that surrounds you.....
It also portrays the hardships of our mothers and other career women.....
The characters in this drama has problems but the story makes way to make you laugh really hard all the time..... Every episode has exciting scenes.....
Of course it stars my unni, Lee Hye Young (Hahaha!!!!!)
This drama will make you cry, laugh all the time.....
A MUST-SEE drama..... For those who not yet seen this drama, you will regret if you dont watch this drama..... Each episode keeps going better and better and better.....
hen I first seen this dram I was hooked since the first episode. Even though am not on my 30s yet and not even on my 20s I can really relate to Dalja. She was really naive when it comes to love and clueless thats why a teen like me must have liked this despite the *adult and mature* content this drama has.
It deals with love, surely and not also love, but with the responsibilities that came along with it. Pre-marital sex, pregnancy, and divorce. The things I dont agree with but in this life we have to open our mind and accept that this world is different now.
I have much praises not only with the lead actors but with the supporting ones as well, if not for them the drama wouldnt be very good like it is.
This is a definite watch, it made me cry, laugh and laugh more and I certainly learned a lot from it.
The best drama I have seen since My Name is Kim Sam Soon.
ve followed this drama since day one it was shown, ive watched it a couple of times, and still rewatching the subbed version in kbsworld. (and buying the DVD is one of my top priorities as of now). i enjoyed it soooo much. i didnt even care much about ratings, but knowing that it debuted at 14% gave me good feelings about it. of course it rose up episode per episode!
besides the fact that my favorite actress ChaeRim was on the drama, it had a really great storyline. it's really close to what's real. it talks about life's lessons. DalJa's not only a 33 yr old Bridget Jone clone, she thinks deeply about life. she maintains good relationship with her colleagues. this drama is not purely about DalJa finding love, but it also focuses on finding real friendship and companionship among co-workers, attaining self-fulfillment in one's work by loving it, and about family relationships.
this drama is really hilarious, but they also portray touching experiences of the hardships of women as mothers, wives and career women all at the same time.
this definitely is a MUST-SEE for korean drama addicts, and especially to those who wanna relax and watch something really entertaining. i have to say, it gets better and better each episode. id always have a favorite scene at each episode seriously!
