Personal Opinion
This movie is well good...but confusing. It's dramatic and made me well in tears. The kind girls love, cause its just so beautiful. The only thing I'd say is once again the story line is a little windy but besides that. It's not bad. I really liked it. So for story I'll go 8 out of 10, for acting 9 out of 10. 4 out of 5 stars.

Personal Opinion
I think this movie is a mix between funnny, romantic and strange. I didn't really know what I was getting from it. Sure it made me laugh a few times but I didn't fully understand what was going on. Nor how the two main people ended up liking eachother so suddenly. The story plot was rushed. So for this one for story I'll give it a 7 out of 10 for acting 6 out of 10. For stars 3 out of 5.

Personal Opinion 
I'm confused what my opinion should be. The first time I watched this movie it was cute, romantic, funny. That was almost a year ago, maybe I've become a sync or something because this time, yeah it was all those things, but it just didn't go together as well. It was very flip floppy, I watched it with my little sister whom also loves Korean Movies but we both had to agree besides some really funny parts it was just not that great.... So for story line I'll give it a 5 out of 10, for acting (which was pretty good) I'll give it a 7 out of 10. For stars 3out of 5.

Personal Opinion
Host is one of the very best korean films I've had the pleasure seeing. Each Character is fully developed, there is enough serious, and comedy to balance them out. It's not over bearing and it sticks to its plot line. For Acting I'll give it 9 out of 10, for story 10 out of 10. I give the film 5 stars out of 5.

Personal Opinion 
Kwon Sang Woo first impressed me with his role in my tutor friend. He has a very unique way of portraying his characters, is careful with facial expression, and you find real emotion from him. I really enjoy watching him, and look forward to seeing all the films he's in. So for looks I'll give him an 8 out of 10, and for acting I'll give him a 9 out of 10.

Personal opinion 
I just finished watching this movie for the first time its pretty funny, romantic, and once again tragic. I hate that i have to keep putting that word in. I have to say over all the story line is consistent and both main actors play off each other. Honestly though it seemed like one of those story's that no matter what was going to have a little amount of unhappiness to it. so for story  wise I'll give it 9 out of 10, for cast same 9 out of 10. For stars 4 out of 5.

Personal Opinion
I've only seen her in a couple movies and dramas. I have to say her acting ability is refreshing, she brings realism in her role with out going overboard. She never makes her role cheesy, truly refreshing in Asian acting. For looks (still feel weird) I'd give her style an 8 out of 10. I'd also give her 8 out of 10 for acting.
