Little Bride
I've been hearing some very good reviews of this drama, and that has enticed me further to watch it. Personally, I have never watched LDG in any dramas before, as for HJH, this would be the second drama after Summer Scent. In Little Bride, she plays the role of an 18 year old school girl who fell in love with LDG, a guy who is 10 years her senior. The interesting part of this drama is how these two learn to adapt to one another after marriage and the fact that love can actually be nurtured further after marriage life. To most people perhaps, love begins before marriage, however, for these two... their love life only starts after the wed lock and I find that as an interesting point in this drama. There are numerous funny scenes in here, and acting wise.. is not bad at all. HJH played a believable role of an 18 year old, a "happy go lucky" young girl who to me, has no passion at all for other things in life, except for "love". She is indeed the happiest character that I have ever seen on Korean Dramas & Movies combined. She even look like she is smiling when she cries...(though, I dont really know if this is a positive point at all). As for LDG, can't say much about his acting cause this is the first that I have seen. Overall, I will give a rate of 6.5 for this drama. It has a happy ending in the end, pleasant to watch but aint strong enough to blow you away.

First Love of a Royal Prince
When I first learned about this drama, I was not "that" interested to watch it. I suppose, to me the cast was not the usual "actors" that I like and I didn't really read that much about this drama elsewhere. Even though, having CTH in the cast was an attraction, still it was not strong enough to attract me into buying and watching it. I have never watched SYR before (Didn't get to watch Love of Thousand Years) and I had a little glimpse of KNJ in Spring Bear Love, but I guess, the attraction was just not strong enough.
However, it was a dull weekend, and the drama I had intended to buy was not available with subs that I could understand( Snow White ), I took the chance and bought First Love anyway. Now, I realised that it was not only an entertaining drama, but it was really a meaningful one too.
The drama had beautiful scenes from Japan, Korea, Bali Island (Indonesia) as well as another Island in Tahiti (If I'm not mistaken). Its a love triangle story but not just about young hearts, also about the relationship of two brothers who happened to fall in love with the same girl. The climax would definitely be the part where SYR realised that she had feelings for both of them, and her confusion made life rather difficult for all three of them. Nevertheless, I watched this drama 4 times .. and I really did enjoyed it. CTH was really funny, and the way he expressed his affection to SYR was really hilarious which made this drama an enjoyable piece. And even though, KNJ's acting was rather a bit too "dull" for me, I would highly recommend this drama !

Love So Divine
Let's face it, I would probably buy anything with KSW in it, eventhough I may have read a bad review about it from film critics. How can one resist... its KSW.
After waiting for weeks, its been finally released. Storyline, not bad at all. Basically, its a story about a man who has spent his entire life (perhaps) being "in love" or believe to be "in love" with God. KSW played a role of a "trainee minister" and he needed to pass one last hurdle before qualifying as a "real" minister. However, as it turned out to be.. that hurdle was Ha Ji Won. HJW played the role of a heartbroken young lady who came back from US to be with her loved one, but was turned down. Thanks to her uncle ( who happened to be the Community Church Leader where KWS was assigned to ), she stayed around and worked as a domestic helper to earn enough money for her air ticket back to US. Bubbly and outspoken, KSW faced the challenge of influencing her into the Christian way & agree to be baptised. Along the way and though not easy, both fell in love. Next, would be one of the most difficult thing that KSW had to do, choose between his love for God or HJW.
Not a bad movie to watch. KSW, what can I say.. acted really well and potrayed his role in the best way possible. This is the second movie of HJW (the first being 100 days with Mr. Arrogant) that I've watched, and she acted well too. ( Though I would prefer Kim Ha Neul taking the part ).
But again, its pretty bad for me to say this.. but who would notice her that much with KSW around ?
With all said, I would give this movie a rate of 7 out of 10. Good and entertaining.. but not something that would blow you away...
