Comments

Park Min Mar 11 2023 11:24 pm You aren't allowed to question anything in this drama otherwise it'll be unwatchable. Nothing makes sense and nothing will, you've to accept that. They take everything way too far and over dramatize the living shit out of it. Those soliloquy scenes in the black room were an awful addition to the drama. Cringe direction.

Kim Samuel Apr 03 2022 1:31 pm This drama did not finish the whole story, the writer was in a hurry to finish it, in the middle of the episode it was told that Park Kyung Sook once lived in a village and , actually he is married but and has children in his village, but he abandoned him, and that is Jeong Ruby, the writer can add more episodes to make this drama perfect

kdramafunfan Dec 03 2021 9:03 pm epi 93 final epi somewhat disappointed is like the writer tried to build a nice building on a soft weak foundation that eventually gave up sending the building to the ground the plot was just too outrageous defying all kinds of common sense he messed big the whole thing anyway 4 or 5/10 oh well

kdramafunfan Nov 30 2021 8:39 pm epi 89 omg omg omg this plot is a total mess how can the writer do such this thing nothing makes sense nothing meet ends this is totally absurd before the accident runas body was pregnant and rubys body was never pregnant she was a virgin so to speak but after the accident runas body was not pregnant but rubys body was pregnant how in the world can this happened unless im missing something big ok i understood that after the accident the faces were exchanged due to advanced plastic surgery but not the bodies cant believe this writer came out with this lousy plot this guy shouldve consulted first with doctors or psychiatrists or any specialists who can give him some clues on how 2 persons can exchange bodies and faces and if there were some clues then the writer shouldve pursuit this clues and make something more believable anyway there are 4 more epis left so i hope the writer can come out with big explanations otherwise am gonna be real mad

kdramafunfan Nov 27 2021 8:05 am epi 79 the plot was going pretty good but then it got into another conflict the mole first i knew that runa had a mole on her foot sole but after the accident the mole appear in ruby foot sole and disappear from runa foot how this happened am so perplex maybe i misunderstood. the conflicts between ruby and runa are good very interesting but again how they exchange their bodies or their minds is still bothering

kdramafunfan Nov 17 2021 5:15 pm epi 50 great i reached this epi very fast cz i just coildnt stop the plot is really good now and somewhat unpredictable i think this is the peak of the drama when the real ruby recovered her memories and remembered everything prior to the accident so the real ruby fun time is about to start sort or a revenge and the crying time for the real runa now the most mystery for me is with whom kyung min will end up rubys body and runas mind or runas body and rybys mind wow wow tough decision hahaha looking forward

kdramafunfan Nov 10 2021 3:12 am ok yes no no am gonna answer my own question below i just remembered that they were not birth sisters one was adopted and the other one is giljas real daughter so they should be disparate yessss

kdramafunfan Nov 10 2021 2:02 am epi 32 the plot is getting very intersting which kinda made me forget about the incongruences of the bodies switch but still its bothering me a lil not as much as in the beginning and am wondering why they didnt auditioned for a set of identical twins for the lead girls that couldve been more interesting cz the bodies would be perfectly equal but not the minds i dont know why they chose 2 so disparate girls maybe the plot in the epis ahead will need that they be so disparate who knows good acting for all the leads and suppoeters but maybe am leaning towards lim jun eun acting cz she became the nice girl looking forward for next epis

kdramafunfan Oct 29 2021 2:17 pm epi 14 just started came here cz lee so yeon she is one of my favs this is very interesting but something is bothering very much and that is confusion i undestand that their faces where smashed cz of the accident and plastic surgery reconstructed their faces that gave ruby face to runa and runa face to ruby i can understand this for the sake of the plot but what about their bodies where they also reconstructed? or how did they exchanged their bodies? cz if they kept their heights then that would be easy to determine who is who by the family i hope the writer can explain these in the epis ahead but other than that the plot looks fine to me

cheryl Dec 27 2020 6:38 am honestly this drama was extremely unrealistic, both twins were of different heights which made me wonder why no one realised their heights changed? this stretched out way too long for the poor ending, i was expecting things to fall back to their original places, but ruby didn’t even end up back with gyeongmin. i’m rather disappointed.

akimpaye Jul 27 2017 3:07 am i like the story actually i am watching it and the fact that girls are different in size or any other comment that is why it is called a film or a drama it is something which could be existed, can , will or will never exist. the end i like it cz i like Na in soo the fact that he is a poor one cannot exclude him from being loved....even though i like the end of the success of a main character.i wish at the end Na in soo will be rich and will live happily with ruby.may be your mother cannot know you but your love can recognise you easily that is the punishment of bae kyu min...

honey Feb 10 2017 6:46 pm Ruby ring is a very interesting movie

Rosy Chan Jan 12 2017 10:13 am The storyline is so so long with only big problem but it couldn't be solved till the end! I really disappointed with the ending, no one except the supporting characters have the happy ending. Poor Kyung Min and Ruby, they couldn't be back in love, and I feel so sad that In Soo would keep his thoughtful love to Ruby in silence forever :(

"In Soo protected and helped Ruby take revenge of Runa, then Ruby fell in love with him. At the end Runa was caught in prison because of all her guilty, and Kyung-Min would be fine as he accepted the truth that he could never back in love with Ruby! " I think this is the best plot for this movie!

Rosy Chan Dec 10 2016 6:13 am I've just followed the storyline of the movie! This movie has so many problems that I can't understand what the director and the writer were thinking!! How can the doctors distinguish the two girls just only by clothes?? Why can't their mom recognize each of them? And how can Runa be so cruel to her sister? However, I'll keep watching it till the end to see how the relationship mess is solved! Anyway, this mo

reivo namja Dec 10 2014 11:33 am Really hate the ending. Really hate final episode. No matter what, jung roo bi (real) still be poor girl. She still be alone. Kyungmin cant back with her, and insoo still keep silent his love. And then roo na be freek girl, her be crazy till the end...

Happy ending just for cho rim komo, so young, and geum hee ajuhma.

rukkie Oct 18 2014 1:34 pm Love this drama but the problem is that is nt realistic, can't wait to watch the end. When is it coming out

Kim Bawitlung Sep 11 2014 1:34 pm I love this drama..but i am disappointed at the last episode..i wanted to see Ruby and her true love live happily ever after.

mary Aug 05 2014 9:33 am I really love this drama especially the dialogue and quotation from it. There are lots more to learn from this especially about the ambition in positive ways and the dangerous of insatiable greed that leads life into a mess disaster.

seble Jul 25 2014 10:36 am The drama, as most of you said is really, REALLY unrealistic, but it has got something that makes me want to keep watching it. It is interesting, because I have not seen anything like it before, and it would have been more interesting if they made it more realistic. I think the staff, the director,the staff in general are really stupid not to be able to notice that fake ruby needs to be shorter, and many other things. I think I could make a better drama and I am 11 years old.

Rebecca Alvarez Abelo Jul 23 2014 8:39 pm i wish that the ending will have the real ruby and gyeongmin back in each others arms, this is what the fans are expecting, dont let us hang out, make it real ending so as not to frustrate viewers thanks

Muffet Jul 22 2014 7:06 pm what's so unreal about this show is the fact that, they should have used a girl of the same size and same built then it would have been excitingly real. Using these two girls with different heights should have been the give away and problem solved. I do not know what this director and people involved in this show were thinking, how can you not remember ruby was supposed to be the taller of the two and now she's short. come one ;people, be real. this is so frustrating just like watching the real Ruby wanting to expose the the real Runa and has not done it yet. but I guess is another way of prolonging this charade just like what's happening in the show, so unreal.

CW Jul 17 2014 5:48 pm @ Nizo, see 11th name down Lee Hae Woo...

jenny and sophia Jul 08 2014 3:59 am hello, we love this drama... the story of ruby touch our hearts... i love all the main actors in the drama especially Bae gyong min and Na in su... they are so handsome and so manly and their roles fit them so perfect... love the movie so much. can't wait to watch the ending..... thank you

nizo Jun 25 2014 11:04 am hey...this is such an amazing drama..i love it..the actors are soooo amazing....I THINK I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH DONG PAL'S SON IN THE MOVIE but i do not know the name of that actor ...and this is the first movie i have seen of him...so please may i know the name??

Fasi Jun 25 2014 8:40 am I really think this drama is nothing like the dramas I've seen before. But it's really amazing how the real ruby act around runa (fake ruby). If it was me I'd have done something. But bravo. She deserves an award. But I think the fake ruby or runa done an outstanding act in the drama. But the thing that i don't understand is how can a mother can't tell a difference with her daughters. I can't wait to see the finale episode

Rita Jun 24 2014 12:11 am All you people out there talking about the guy....Gyeongmin...... You guys got it all wrong...... He only knew the real Ruby for 5 years.... The mother knew them their whole life time and she can't see the difference.... That is a real WTF moments.... The real Ruby should be angry.... In fact... I wouldn't be so quiet... I would be telling Fake Ruby every time I see her.... Even if other people around ......At the top of my lungs... GIVE ME BACK MY FACE... MY NAME... MY MAN... MY EVERYTHING.... AND PUT HER IN JAIL...

zekrom Jun 21 2014 6:54 am i suggest if i watching this drama support fake ruby and do not support real ruby if support real ruby u will only watch half way.

sheila lee Jun 11 2014 6:44 am I'm sorry that I bring myself to say this, but I seriously HATE HATE HATE fake Ruby in this Korean drama! even if it is just a movie, but I just wish she die in that movie or something! can any one of you guys do that? make her die in a car accident, or Gyeongmin choked her, or Real Ruby shot her in the head! that would put a smile on my face!

Marie Jun 06 2014 1:59 am Both the actors and actresses are good at actin gbut I wonder why Dong Pal's son didn't mention in the additional cast members?

Wida Jun 03 2014 7:37 am I am watching and hoping real Ruby with Bae and Na In with Sera happily ever after.....

Ster Jun 02 2014 10:02 pm Both actresses are very beautiful. But how can Kim Seok Hoon not recognize the Ruby he really loves..., the height, sizes of shoes, dresses, and all...But all in all, I am still watching because I want to see how it ended.

Neinei May 17 2014 1:48 am The storyline's okay, but plastic surgery's just... Idk. Switching souls between the two would've been more sensible (although may seem like copying Secret Garden, but on a whole different plot, a more serious one & that would've made more sense) nonetheless I'm still watching it, the casts are great people portraying their characters. And In my mind I don't see it as the two going through plastic surgery, but exchanging souls so that it won't affect the fact that I am enjoying this drama lol (Idk but I'm guessing Ruby's gonna through plastic surgery again so she can get her old self back & again I am only thinking of it as her soul being switched back hahaha)

Su Ann May 13 2014 3:16 am I really have to agree with all the negative comments and criticizing, it is just to incredulous and too long 120 episodes now reduced to 95 or 93 it seems. This should be adrama not a fairy tale who can believed such nonsense as the swapping of characters after the BMW car and their faces were totally smashed up and reconstructed after plastics where in the world can you find clinics to perform this miraculous plastic surgery , all balderdas.

The only good thing about this show is the lovely I'm Jeong-eun who plays the sympathetic Runs aka Luna after the accident who was Ruby before the accident.

Please have better plots and not give Korean drama and writers a bad name.

The acting is on the whole of high quality and I find no fault with all the actors and actresses only the story line, plot and characters are too ridiculous for words.

Johnny Onn May 13 2014 2:41 am Oh dear what ridiculous plot , really absurd . Top top it all it is too long so I will not waste my time watching more of it after 36 crapy episodes, yes what crap.

aima May 07 2014 8:52 am what is the name of a man who played the character of noh dong pal's son????

May Apr 25 2014 10:40 pm The writer should think about fact. How stupid people could not recognize the voice of people especially, the person in their family!!! Even the face change but voice and high can not be changed for absolutely. And not even this series being like this. The other also the same and not to think about fact of the real life. Why Korean people are so easy to get amnesia by accident. I have seen Korean series start from May 2013 until now. They are not over 10 series but I have seen 3 series that the actor and actress are getting amnesia by accident!!!

diera Apr 22 2014 11:03 pm Love the storyline but they should at least find actress with same height. How can real runa became taller n ruby became shorter. Even after surgery.. Lol

0009 Apr 03 2014 6:44 am This "drama" breaks all records for idiotic screenplay!!! Now even such a bullshit as "Angel's revenge" seems like a reasonable work. Is there in KBS at least one, ONE, person with common sense just to read the screenplays BEFORE THE FILMING? Or the KBS moto is "We are producing the most stupid dramas in South Korea!"? Does any of the actors here have just a little self-esteem and professional honour or they are ready to play in any bullshit just for the money?

hooyeah Apr 02 2014 8:59 am Lee So-Yeon and Kim Seo-Ra are very pretty .

dee loki Mar 23 2014 10:55 pm how can a fate change by a car accident? I do not like this drama because Jung Roo Na is a mean and selfish person to Jung Roo Bi, makes me want to beat her up. Hope she die in last episode or in the middle, accept fate you old hag!!!

K Sep 12 2013 6:30 pm I thought Park Kwang Hyun looks like So Ji Sub... Now he sorta looks like Song Joong Ki in the picture.

Yokohawaii Aug 20 2013 2:25 pm I first saw Kim Sora like 10 years ago when she was shooting TV series "LOST" in Hawaii and she came out just 1 episode. She still beautiful as ever and I read in Japanese article that she's now one of Top Korean actress in Korea. Just curious when she'll re-appear in U.S. programs since we need more pretty Asian actresses

Kim Hyun Aug 16 2013 6:43 pm I'm thrilled to see Kim Sora coming out in this drama since I really enjoyed watching her in the recent drama Jang Ok Jung. Why don't this site have more coverage about her? She's so beautiful... I wish I looked like her!

hoang vu Aug 15 2013 6:30 pm Lee so yeon comeback

zam Aug 15 2013 5:32 pm I can't wait to watch this drama! I'm hoping that this gets subbed in English and will be uploaded by DF or CR or Hulu or any easily accessible websites. I love Kim Suk Hoon so much! I was really impressed with him when I saw his performance @ Twinkle. Has the # of episodes been confirmed yet?I'm looking forward to a very exciting and endearing drama! Good luck!

sooyoung Aug 15 2013 7:29 am In a big fan of her even though her character in most of her dramas is evil, inhuman and cold. Hope this drama will finish soon. I can't wait to watch it.
