Chinese natural beauty!

I saw all the thriilers in this list + The Attorney. I plan to watch some of the others.
The Berlin File and The New World are my other 2013's favourite Korean films.

Well, well, well! Here's some good-looking business drama to anticipate this Fall season. Another Ikeido Jun's novel adaptation and another intriguing mini-drama from WOWOW.

The poster makes this drama sound fun unlike the synopsis that seems more serious and slice of life oriented.

Hahaha this looks interesting in a very weird way, I don't know why I get strange vibes from this. It's probably because of that complicated characters' chart or the synopsis itsef.
At any rate, I am really excited to see the amazing Kora Kengo and Suzuki oba-san as the leads and it comes from my beloved WOWOW so I will most definitely give it a try if it ever got subbed.

Oh snap! Here's another highly intriguing mystery drama from Japan. And it comes from Minato and Okudera no less; the same genius author and screenwriter behind Yakou Kanransha. I can smell something great in the cooking!
And heck yeah! I've been dying to see Kubota in another interesting role!

Both parents have terminal illnesses, poor children. This will be the ultimate slice of life made in Japan. I like Aoki but nah, it's not my cup of tea at all.

This reminds me of Last Cinderalla a bit. Anyway, not interested.

I only saw Lee Jun Kai and it was pretty much to my liking. I love those types of hateful male leads.

Yutaka Oji-san! It's really rare to see him this past few years. This will be a mini drama so I would consider watching it.

Sounds like a good treat for my usual detective dose of every season. Moreover, I've been dying to see Sato Ryuta in a main role!

Just look at that cast! Not only it's so tempting but I get to see Oguri and Yamada together again! And they will be playing Nobunaga and Hideyoshi no less, this is such a great treat! I am currently loving the anime and I hope that the drama version will be as good.

Ryuhei is a high profile Japanese actor and I can definitely see where that came from. His coolness and perfect portrayal of the roles he gets hold of are simply flawless. I got the chance to meet him in several productions whether as a main or as a supporting character and he always managed to snatch the lights even for a while, he has this amazing way of taking complete control of his character and make it sound like a part of himself. I am definitely in love with his screen presence, He's not exactly a fierce actor but he can turn intense when his role demands him to
.
If it wasn't for my immense love for Tsumabuki Satoshi, I would've considered him the best young actor in Japan around. But he definitely comes second alongside Eita, Yamada Takayuki and Oguri Shun.

Seung Ryong ahjussi and Kim Nam Gil pairing is more than awesome. Suzy is just a troll.

Seung Ryong ahjussi is one of the most terrific, versatile Korean veteran actors around.

Seung Ryong ahjussi please accept this!

Inoue, Osawa, Iseya, Kora and even the youger talent Higashide. What an extremely promising cast for a taiga drama.

Ando is definitely one of the better younger Japanese actresses around. She's underrated.

Sometimes I feel like she's Inoue Mao's look-alike.

8 films in 2014 alone. Not to mention his awesome performance in both Mozu seasons.
I really love his talent and I am so happy to see him climbing that ladder of success. More real actors are getting recognition (:
