Awesome! I was hoping for a nice summary of the features to know what I haven't noticed yet. The new list system might be my favorite of the updates. I haven't made any new lists yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I'll also be interested to see how the new .5 rating system will affect how I rate dramas/movies in the future. Thanks for the work you two have put into this site!
I remember one of the mothers in I Miss You turned out really good, and of course there is current drama Angel Eyes (although there is one really unlikable mother in that drama).
"was not a complete embarrassment to Turkish people" I really read this article because your little lines like this made me laugh so much. Please keep writing articles because you're a riot and I love it!
Good side characters are pretty essential. One of my favorites is Yang Taek Bae in Queen of Ambition. I also loved Lee Moon Kwon (Park Yoo Hwan) in A Thousand Days' Promise, though I suspect it's because I liked looking at him. Well, how could one not like Micky's brother? Eye candy side characters are great XD
*sigh* seems even worse than previous years' award shows. Your comments made it more tolerable though xP seems I agree on a lot of them.
One question, you say Lee Bo Young is on your black list. What would you do if someone from your black list was casted next to a favorite of yours? Just wondering how others do this since for me, I can be convinced to watch things even with actors I have abhorred in the past.
Did you watch The Queen's Classroom? It's a remake of the Jdrama, but one of my 2013 favorites. Queen of Ambition is another good 2013 one, but I think it's more my personal opinion b/c I seem to like it much more than other drama viewers.
My other 2013 favorites were on your list or sub-list, unless I'm forgetting something, which I probably am D;
I don't need more dramas to watch, so I kind of hate you. ;) just kidding, I really love you for putting this article together, and I'm really looking forward to watching some of these. Thanks for informing us about them!
I wasn't going to watch this as it sounds like every other thing in dramaland, but the trailer makes it look really good, so . . . yeah, it's going on my list.
I really love that I haven't watched any of these dramas, yet I really enjoy reading this article (read: I am another greedy person begging for more of these articles from you ^^). Also, since you praised it so highly, I think I'll go check out that last drama you mentioned.
The only movie I've seen on this list is the one with Owen Wilson, and even then I wasn't paying much attention to it, but that's what made this article interesting to read! Everyone knows of Jackie Chan, but not many my age have actually seen much of his work. Thanks for writing this! In my mind, he deserves a "stalker's guide" more than anyone else as one of the first Asian actors to become so well known all over the world.
This was really interesting. I haven't watched any of these three dramas, but I've seen similar things happen with other dramas like those darn extra episodes that make some dramas look like pictures that were stretched in only one direction or had an odd lop added to one part, or worse when the network cuts the number of episodes.
