Jillibean Oct 25 2022 6:11 pm I've watched 800 Kdramas and Thank You is number 5 on my favorites list. A very high honor. When I think of Jang Hyuk I always think of this drama first. What a multi-layered performance. And Gong Hyo Jin, totally lovely performance. And the little actress who played Bom (Spring) Seo Shin Ae was Perfection. Plus what fun to see such an early role for Shin Sung Rok. And Goo Shin as Grandpa practically stole the film from everyone. Don't miss Thank You. It's an Essential KDrama.

NoirRoex Jan 06 2022 4:51 pm Excellent drama. Still unique even over a decade later. Just watched it again after some time. It's a very solid thoughtful drama. It's lighthearted and touching. Some tear-jerking as well.

Very good acting, writing, and OST. As mentioned in the other comments Shin Goo (grandpa) is a notably touching character. However, props to the casting department because the talent in the main and supporting cast is felt throughout the drama.

Thank you! I will probably reach for this heartwarming drama again in the future. 10/10.

Erry Aug 02 2021 7:04 am Lovely drama worth watching. Not much about romance more about loyalty & being kind. Showcase a very strong woman that determine to raise her sick child & senile granpa. Im Here bcoz of jang hyuk n gong hyo jin. Hoping 4 happy ending or at least this 2 become a happy couple in the end. Good people deserve each other at least. The Poor child abandoned by her biological father n grandma....i hope she got to be as happy as she can before she departed

filomena ribeiro Jun 25 2020 3:06 pm Loved the drama despite it was filmed13 years ago. Loved the story and the caracters. All the cast was amazing, very good acting. Of course I came to watch it because of Jang Hyuk and Gong Hyo jin, they are my favourite actor and actress and at that time they were doing great job. I was suprised about Shin Sung rok because I did not know him looking young he was very handsome. The granpa was amazing ( Shin Gu ) very good acting.

me you Apr 23 2020 9:56 am The soundtrack and instrumental in this drama make it better and heartwarming.

Liyana Latif Apr 08 2020 8:57 am I really love this drama. It's melt my heart away. Such a beautiful story that make me think that ppl can be whatever they want to be, but always choose to be kind and true to urself. Like young shin. I think i really love GHJ too. Her drama thanks you and when the camellia blooms really make me look on the beautiful side of the world.. finished greatest love too. I think more or less similar storyline with jealousy incarnate. But my top choice is thank you & when the camellia bloom.

KdramasForever Mar 20 2018 8:26 pm Perfection. Unforgettable. Masterpiece. See it.

abcdesfg Oct 18 2016 7:03 am surprisingly i love this drama, kudos to all actors and actress

mary Sep 18 2016 12:32 am ALL characters, story and everything make me in love with this drama. and this one of the best, and maybe the best performance from GHJ. I think all fans of GHJ shuld watch this!!!

merlyn Jul 31 2016 2:18 am love to see Jang Hyuk and Gong Hyo Jin being paired up again

Annie Jul 03 2016 10:52 am I am writing this nearly 10 years after the drama was aired but any time is the right time to say Thank You for Thank You.

This drama while retaining a few conventional (and loud) elements maintains its low key, thoughtful and heartfelt tone throughout the 16 episodes. I came to it late but even these many years later it didn't feel dated and had a refreshing quality. Like spring rain.

At its heart is Young-shin, Bom and the grandfather. They form a tiny island in the world that can be easily tossed around by the waves of cynicism and hostility and indifference but that island stays and shines due to the purity of their hearts.

Both Gi-seo and Suk-Hyun are outside this world but are gradually changed by it. There is no high romance here - both conventional romances for the male leads in fact occur outside the triangle of YS-GS-SK. Rather there is a deeper, mature love at play and perhaps GS "wins" in the end - if one can use that word - because he is the first to realise it and be changed by it. I liked the gentleness in that relationship, many other K-dramas of the time seem to have slightly brutal heroes.

While both male actors are good, its really Young-shin and her family that are the heart and soul of this drama. Its easy to love the girl and grandpa but I really appreciated the mother. Though mild in temperament and appearance, she is never weak, in fact she is the strongest character of the drama who is no pushover. Every decision of hers until the end when she plans to leave for Seoul is thought out keeping her daughter's interests in mind, no matter how hard this may be. GHJ was wonderful in this role.

PS: The drama obviously tries to showcase Jang Hyuk at times as the male protagonist in a movie star way (some of the clothes and poses!) and yet it blends in perfectly with the more naturalistic tone of the drama due to the actor's performance.

aliena Apr 07 2016 11:19 pm why i think, bom's character in this drama similiar with ari's character in lovephobia? a child with AIDS, wear yellow raincoat and she thinks she is an angel.

rang su Jan 29 2016 6:25 pm Wow, this piece oof writing is pleasant, my sister is analyziing such things, thus I am going to inform her.

AsianDramaPearls Dec 02 2015 6:37 am I was concerned at first that this might be too serious, but it was not at all. It had just the right combination of everything including laugh-out-loud humor. Loved it! Excellent drama all the way through every episode with a good ending. Loved all the actors! This will be added to my favorites list. A definite must-watch!

Andin Aug 29 2015 12:38 pm Thankyou for a beautiful drama! love all the casts❤️

dubb Jun 24 2015 11:38 am gong hyo jin was so amazing here!!!!!! all the cast were great great drama

Jane Granado Jun 21 2015 2:37 pm This was a fantastic story. It really hit all the stereotypes and untruths about AIDS. It was definitely a community service type program which hopefully taught whoever watched it how to react and act towards those with AIDS. The story itself was deeply romantic, and there was really well written dialogue. Jang Hyuk and Kong Hyo-Jin are two of my favorite actors, and they, once again, did academy award winning acting jobs. The little girl, Seo Shin-Ae, is the best child actress ever! I give this drama 5 stars! I hated for it to end, but I do need to get outside and see what's going on in the real world.

desi Apr 24 2015 10:44 pm Great and heart-warming drama:) wish to see this kind-of-drama again!!

stellar Dec 29 2014 8:12 am most heart-warming drama i've ever seen...... in love with gong hyojin and janghyuk <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

chinkielicious Sep 27 2014 8:42 am A must-watch! This is literally one of the best korean dramas out there. Drama and comedy combined. Love the storyline and all the characters especially little girl Lee Bom. I super want to hug her and pinch those cheeks. Love Jang Hyuk! Love love love this drama. This is now in my Top 5.

Sit Z Sep 18 2014 4:46 am I watched this drama online 4 years ago cried n cried my hearts out. Then ltr i bought the cd just so I can watch again more relaxingly. All in all i watched 3 times n I m here to watch another time cos my cd lent to someone never returned. Indeed one of the best kd drama. That time this drama was suggested by mysoju staff. Never regretted watching it. Love all the casts.

Priscilla Sep 10 2014 10:20 pm I'm on episode 14. I'm in love with this show. Best show of all the kdramas I've seen so far. I've been addicted to kdramas for 5 years already. OMG Jang Hyuk.. Best male actor I give him like a 1,000 stars from a scale on 1-10. But Young-Shin and Gi-Seo.. Best couple, best scenes. Lol. They fight like a married couple. So cute. (Suk-Hyun go away and let the love birds be happy) lol

bingjack Aug 16 2014 9:05 pm The best!!!!!! I'm a korean drama addict and this brings my tears gallons but leaving me feeling good and enjoying every tear I spent!!! Horry a a ayyyy to all the cast!!!

Gap Jun 06 2014 7:09 am I went into this drama expecting a sad drama. It turned out to have so many different layers. Great drama. Sorry I skipped over for shallower dramas. I highly recommend this drama. Two thumbs up!

arina May 25 2014 10:17 am i have watched this drama repeatedly and I still find it one of the best of kds and the acting of the main leads jang hyuk and my fav actress GHJ were honest and awesome but the one who blew me away with her acting is Shin ae or Boomie...she is so adorable but her acting is so natural and pure...the rest of the cast..mr lee..grandmother...its a beautiful drama

yenwu_GHY May 19 2014 12:52 am love Gong Hyo Jin eonnie...jang hyuk and little Bom a....

Maryam Apr 01 2014 1:14 am "Thank you" is the best Korean drama that I've ever watched. The story-line is clear and the actors are absolutely adorable, esp Jang Hyuk...

Shreya Mar 23 2014 10:11 am Best thing about this drama is that it is not at all biased...how could I've missed it all this time

Mick Mar 20 2014 9:41 am We really enjoyed this series. Mr. Lee made this series one of the best we have watched. (loved the Choco Pie theme) all the actors were really good. The grandmother charector acting was outstanding.

Hannah Jan 30 2014 2:14 am simply the best. you will never find anything like this drama

Sous Jan 02 2014 1:11 am I've just came across this drama and I am finding it interesting, I watched 3 episodes (in one go) so far. I am surprised that most comments are recent even though the drama was made 8 years ago. I wish there will be a website that suggests good meaningful dramas because nowadays people are voting for dramas because they like the actor/actress or because there was few love scenes in it and get high votes but when I watch them they are boring and meaningless. I look forward to watching this drama.

Candy Dec 13 2013 7:21 am The bestttttt Korean Drama ever... so natural acting & Great story

Noi Nov 13 2013 6:50 am Thank You

setare Nov 03 2013 6:36 am I am not Korean but I love Korean TV series, and I really really loved this drama. can anyone help me and suggest another drama that would be similar to this one? so meaningful with sad and funny moments.

setare Nov 03 2013 6:30 am I really really loved this drama, the best Korean drama. can anyone help me and suggest another Korean drama that would be similar to this one? so meaningful with sad and funny moments. please help me

Samantha Oct 28 2013 7:23 am A must watch! Definitely one of the best melodramas ever made!!! I'm so grateful to have watched this because of my favorite actress Gong Hyo Jin. Everything about this drama would teach you something that most of us always forget in life. This is definitely worth my time :) Two thumbs up for the cast especially to the little girl and to GHJ unni :) Hwaiting!!! <3

Hanan Jun 29 2013 1:30 pm This is the best korean drama I have ever seen. from the cast and plot to the music is just outstanding. I strongly recommend this drama to everyone, don't miss it

Easter_Lily Jun 08 2013 10:49 pm No doubt, as many have commented, this is one of the best kdramas ever made. It's certainly one of my favourites. Rewatchability factor is extremely high. It has poignancy, warmth, humour and gallery of quirky characters. The acting, overall, is tour de force. Several themes run through it but the dominant one is the transformative power of a grateful heart.

The two biggest stars for me are Jang Hyuk and Seo Shin Ae. This show made me a fan of both.

anne_tran Mar 29 2013 4:16 am I LOVE this drama. It's the best Korean drama of many I've watched over the years.

Mary Mar 23 2013 1:06 am I Jang Hyuk's dramas. Planning to watch this one.

Rana Annisa Feb 16 2013 7:47 am Hello, i'm 17th year old and i began watch korean since i was elementary school. There are soooo many kind of korean drama that i really like but Thankyou was the most favourite one since this story have different side.

lili Jan 25 2013 8:13 am The best drama i've seen, thank you all.

nonsibi Jan 11 2013 7:41 pm Start watching it on dramafever dot com. Comments to follow...

Collibosher Jan 11 2013 11:49 am What reviewer @John keeps repeating bears repeating once again! In six plus years of drama watching 'Thank You' remains, for me (and many others, I suspect) the single best drama of all time. The setting, the performances, the story/script, and it's powerful and essential message should be experienced by anyone with a beating heart. As it is in life, the impact is felt over time, building slowly and progressively and needs to be savored and reflected upon in the totality of it's parts, in both lightening bursts and slow drizzles. Those without the patience to appreciate life often miss the quiet subtleness that gentle sincerity offers the heart. It is complete here in the airy breezes of 'Blue Island' and released in steady streams via the tiny family unit of mother 'Young Shin' (Kong Hyo Jin), Grandpa 'Mr. Lee' (Shin Goo), and in the innocent sweetness that abounds from the straw that stirs the drink, little 'Lee Bom' (Seo Shin Ae).

The love that flows from those already enlightened and that which evetually bursts forth from those who are finally brought into the light is a gift from the gods of Korean drama to all fortunate enough to have witnessed it unfold. This unique drama is one of those "little trains that could", that actually does.

If the reason you land on this little island is actor Jang Hyuk ('Dr. Min'), he will not disappoint you, either. He plays his character just as his character is played upon by the little family he comes to love. With even, steady movement as a student being taught a valuable lesson slowly seeing the light.

Each and every player here deftly handles his or her role to the utmost, but none, I repeat, "NONE", is any more convincing or impactful than the performance rendered by then eight year old wunderkind, Seo Shin Ae. This bubbly little angel never fails to have me looking for some kind of a zipper that surely can be undone to reveal a fully grown 40 year old person actually emerging from the costume of a forty pound first grader. She really is that good. Anyone following her young career through it's short run of award winning performances needs no further proof of that. In a crowded field of superbly talented Korean child actors and actresses, the amazing Seo Shin Ae is the best of the lot. If I'm Lying, I'm dying... :)

John Jan 02 2013 9:16 pm Outstanding. This is by far the best Korean Drama (one of the best well acted and well written stories I have ever seen Korean or otherwise for that matter).

John Jan 02 2013 8:39 pm Best Korean Drama I've ever seen. A perfect home run (and out of the park too). Can't say enough about this one. The story, the acting, the setting, the subject matter.... will be watching this over and over. Thank You !!!

John Jan 02 2013 8:35 pm Let me repeat..... BEST Korean Drama I've seen ever - Historical or Otherwise - Very well written and didn't disappoint (as many do especially with the endings). This is (again restating) a work of art. I will be watching this again. The writer should be applauded. Thank You. This brought tears to my eyes and a lot of smiles too.

John Jan 01 2013 11:11 am This is a lot different from the other Korean Dramas I've seen. It's truly a work of art. Reminds me of those touching international independent films that stay with you in your heart for a very long time. A perfect 10.

Gasenadi Feb 21 2012 9:49 pm This was my second Korean drama and helped solidify my addiction. I could not BELIEVE the beauty of the sentiments, the single mom's courageous love for all around her, the captivating Korean countryside and its people. Then, of course, there was Jang Hyuk's acting which started my quest for all his dramas and movies. I've since then seen almost all of his work and am flabbergasted. And the ost was good too. Highly recommend it. Enjoy.

Consus Jan 10 2012 3:02 am This is my favorite so far drama staring Jang Hyuk. I liked the whole cast too. The girl was really great considering her age. I was hooked. Would say more but don't won't. All can say is watch it.

vip Jul 08 2011 11:59 am I heard that actor kim sooro has a cameo role here...? can you tell me in what episode? thanks for the info ^_^

karo Mar 09 2011 11:33 am Nowadays i'm watching this drama. Well, quite interesting plot. Gonna keep watching till the end & write comments later on.

Yuli Nov 05 2010 10:00 am . I really love this drama . I love young shin ,, i love min gi suh and of course i love lee bom . This was the best dramas i ever watched , very touching and inspiring

kuskus Oct 31 2010 11:54 pm best korean drama ever ^_^

valentina Oct 18 2010 4:06 am My favourite all time drama.

Anggun Vrismaya Jul 13 2009 6:53 am So inspired!!
