Or how to learn about some Korea History and enjoying it at the same time !!

I forgot to tell you : When you watch TBD&W, and you finished the 4th episode, don't watch the preview : it spoils the twist. Anyway it's even better if you never watch any preview...^^
Really hope you'll enjoy (currently rewatching it, our conersation made me want to^^)

There are so many times when I think some scene would have been better in Faith if they just took their time to shoot it nicely. It's kind of rushed I think.
The royal couple is the one that deserve full interest : their relationship is really complicated and the acting is really good.
I agree Hana Yori Dango is a shallow version, but not the worst : most people tend to forget about Meteor Shower, the Mainland verson. This one is the most shallow and the worst version of all. And of course, the T-version wins.

He is doing such a good job in Faith !

I love the couple she makes with the king in Faith, they are really powerful characters and great actors !

so moving in Faith !

I like the fact he can't act : this way Yeo Jin Go will steal the spotlight and he will continue his brillant career !

My god, you've seen Les Choristes ? I'm french, and I was 13 when I went to see the movie in theaters. I used all my money to go and see it over and over again and I finally bought the OST and the DVD as soon as it was out ! This OST is actually the first thing I learnt on piano and with my school's Choir club we performed all the movie's OST songs on stage it's such a wonderful feeling and memory ! I love you for mentioning this movie !!!

It completely wins ! And Jo Jung Suk is fascinating in K2H, so talented. As City Hunter is like a classic of the "revenge drama" , King2Heart is something else entirely ^^ And well, I'm a fan of Ha Ji Won so....^^

I can't beleive such a talented person has only one movie and 2 dramas on his profile...Hope I'll see him soon, he deserve many....many main and varied roles !

I know what you mean. BBF was actally my fist K-drama so I have kind of nostalgical feeling to it. I don't know exactly how I would have appreciate it if I would have seen it after a few other dramas^^.
Which drama are you talkig about ? City Hunter or Time Between Dog and Wolf. Both are on my top 5 (well, I think I'm gonna put City Hunter down to give the spot to King2Hearts lol) but from what I remember of TBD&W...The acting of Lee Jun Ki is stunning and the main antagonist is...a REAL person ! Not a crazy psyco, not an evil fool, but a real character, with an opinion, and depth that really keep us thinking and a real relationship between him and the hero is created so that this story doesn't stay just black and white. So the title is well chosen and this drama is highly reccommendable^^
Hope you'll like it !

Bad directing in Faith, 1 Example: in episode 18, there is a scene where Eun Soo talk to Choe Yeong while being behind him, and there is a moment of silence : normally the scene should have been cut after like 3 seconds of that silence but instead it last for as least 20 seconds and you can actually feel the actors waiting for the "cut", and LMH is desperately trying to keep the scene alive by doing things with his eyes but it's not working at all lol!!!
I agree that Meteor Garden is the best version of the 3 HYD. The acting is better, and it's follow the manga script very well for the 1st season. Every T-drama I watch makes me wanna rewatch MG lol ! The second season is exceptionnal : out of the 3 versions, they are the only one who actually did something deep and clever with the amnesia twist.

completely. I think of dramas like Personnal Taste, when you get the impression the writers are just dolling with top models, trying to make a story out of it...I really liked Lee Min ho in City Hunter, BBF and Faith, but this kind of dramas I really can't stand. I would normally hate BBF too, but I was a fan of the manga when I was a little girl ^^
What do you think of Time Between Dog and Wolf ?

Hey , I 've seen on someone else's profile you are sick of glossy shinny Korean dramas/acting. I really know what you mean. Even though Lee Min Ho is my weak point (nobody's perfect...XD), I recommend you a drama from your watch list : Soredemo, Ikite Yuku. No fan-servicy ending ; Great acting ; Normal-real people as heroes ; Deep Story ; Strong Dialogs/Situation ; 6 Awards for : Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Drama, Best Screenwriter, and Best Directing. I really didn't know Eita had it in him! It's my N°1 Drama now.

I recommend Soredemo, Ikite Yuku, if you are looking for really, really REALLY good acting in J-drama. This drama is my favorite. BTW, I see you've completed Black&White;. I've been considering watching it for a while, how is it ?

I am currently in the process of rewatching MARS, one of my favorite drama ever, and now it makes me wanna rewatch Meteor Garden !!!!

I understand what you mean ! I'm living in france, so Crunchyroll, Viki(for K-dramas), Hulo, and Dramafever are all out of the question !!! Have to find other ways...I use DC, (used to use Mysoju), MyKimchidrama, and recently Gooddrama.

Actually, I've only seen two episodes. I wanted to try it because of the actors and because it is said to have the better suspense ever for a drama.
I won't give Faith a 10 either, there are too flaws to it. Even thought it has 3 great actors and Lee Min Ho, as well as a potentially awesome story, I feel that drama is wasted by some bad actors, unnessesary clichés and really bad directing.

why is it that, every time I watch a drama starring Yan Jerry , I end up wanting to rewatch Meteor Garden again...
