Deal :) Make sure to share the good, the bad & the ugly.

Trust me, dude. I luv romance as much as u do. I champion romance so much I'm hiccuping hearts all the time XP Howeva you're at risk, of writing off some really gr8 action out there. Seriously. Put down everything and wotch "the man from nowhere"...then come and backchat lol. I don't think you will hate it though! It will be too great.

Haha, I dropped Full House too, but that didn't stop me from liking Hwang Jung Eum in it :P They killed No Min Woo though (his clothes)...

Why you loling at Vampire prosectuor? I get it, you're probably thinking it's CSI: Twilight.

Girl, I dropped "Heirs" after sixth episode :P (lolz, did you know Secret Garden, the drama we both hate, and Heirs r both written by the same person?! Would explain a lotta things doncha think??) :O :D :P

I'm also watching SECRET, currently my bias of 2013. It's what elevated Hwang Jun Eum as a fav actress for me. I liked her in CYHMH, Full House: Take 2 as well (fashion was horrendous, though) and I'm itching to start Incarnation of Money, another one of hers.

Also I'm trying to watch a little Won Bin (recommend the MAN FROM NOWHERE), and catch up on Vampire Prosector (both seasons.) That answer ur question, lol?

What drama r u watching at the moment?
(Sorry couldn't resist popping over, when I saw your reply!)
XD

And so many ppl have given this 10. *shakes head* Oh well...that's the beauty with all of us having differing taste! We can watch what the hell we like, and make our own conclusions!

Nice to hear a like-minded post :)

I got to episode 11, before I dropped. Literally I felt like I was pushing prongs into my eyes, that's how much I forced myself to watch. Then I thought, "nobody has to put themselves through this" and I dropped, haha.

When they switched bodies it could've been funnier (imo) and I didn't like Hyun Bin barging into her place, and buying her new beds, chandelier, and telling her he was keeping her close because she was his new obsession, but he was planning on dropping her etc etc...

Maybe this shizz works for some ppl. But it didn't for me. He came across like an interfering busybody, with selective amnesia which kept repeating similar lines. And Ha Ji Won's character...started off so strong, an action stunt girl, but her bad-ass streak literally got so diluted, I thought wtf?

Even if you hadn't meant to post this HERE, I am absolutely DYING to know, what drama you're talking about. Please spill the beans. You will have my eternal gratitude.

Out of curiosity (I've only watched The Man from Nowhere) but this guy is really big in Korea, yet he stars in few projects, and I noticed the ratings for most of them are not gr8, mostly 7's. What is the appeal? Does the guy star in a lot of CF's and MV's and really bubbly? But I hear contradictory information that he is introverted (whoop, i'm loving this guy more & more) and keeps himself to himself.

Somebody, ye Gods, explain this to me. Doesn't matter if you're a few months late :)

OMG...this drama is from 2000. I'm here to watch Won Bin (interested in him, and his cult status) but I'm not sure if I can last the entire gig with all the melodrama.

Will let you know how I fare xp

If there's a 2nd season, I might possible retrieve this drama from the dustbin, brush it off to remove the dust, and resume watching from ep 12 because I totally enjoyed the OTTness of this drama and I only dropped it because I heard there wasn't a proper conclusion, and I didn't want to put myself thru the heartbreak O.o

I used to have the biggest crush on this guy. It's long gone to bed, thank goodness :P Why is he always pigeon-holed into playing effeminate caricatures, who is always playing someone "beautiful" or another. He needs to be challenged.

PS: (It's hard to fancy someone when you realise he uses more make-up/hair products than you.)

I don't think the kiss was in anyway romantic, but it totally suited the tone/mood of the show. Bravo! Here I am at ep 12, praying these writers come back and write another hit for 2014.

I can't explain it. This drama is really well paced, every scene is relevant, not too many flashbacks (THANK GOD, I hate it when Kdramas rely too heavily on those, and it goes on for minutes), sprinkling of well-placed humour, heroine who has to cry a lot but you can tell she's a totally well-balanced, cheery character (hurray, she isn't the bog-standard limpet fare), Bae Su Bin who has come to star in 2 of my fav dramas (49 days + this) so I absolutely love the evil him, Ji Sung who is a total opposite to his "Protect the Boss" character (brilliant acting by him)

and finally the rest of the cast + crew. Master's Sun (which I liked) looks so pale in comparison now, lol.

You should see him in "Soul." Again that douchebaggery role, and such a raging physcopath/bully. It feels weird to see him in a postive, romantic role in Reply 1994 but I'm welcome to this change and it's always a sign of a versatile actor to play both ends of the spectrum.

sneeze....pahahahahahaha
*spends 20 minutes laughing*
(ok, so more like 2...but it's still funny!)

Hi, got your request in the post, like a dummy I opened it and threw it in the bin :P Nah, I joke. Accepted!!! Computer virtual friend. How are you today?? Isn't Tamaki the greatest EVER? lol

(Also I'm thinking of starting Bloody Monday...if I find an adequate streaming site that is.)

Ha. This article started of very light-hearted about what watching dramas told me about asian politics (notice the light-hearted dramas included as my examples), but then I found myself bombarded with REAL HISTORY and then I tried to incoperate THAT in, and now I'm left half-half, with feet in both worlds and I don't know what the hell hit me.

Writing this was definitely an experience :P
Thanks for the support/information and I'll rethink again why they say you shouldn't talk about "Politics/War/Religion" at the dinner table, however naive the approach. (It leades to the BIGGEST of bust-ups.)

I should also probably do the research, or make it explicitly clear I'm doing this under no payment, so write my articles in a space of 1/2 hour and spend WAY more time photoshopping the pictures.

Hmmm.

But it was fun. Thank you all! :D

I think ppl watch the first few episodes, and get all crazy becuz they think it's about a sacraficial lamb ("typical candy") who goes to prison for a STUPID reason (protecting her bf) and then spends the rest of the drama in prison lol.

This drama is SO much more than that. I admit. Whilst watching the first 5 eps, I was getting impatient, but I 'm glad I watched all beginning 5, becuz none of them were boring and terrible and actually set up the story quite quite well, so all of us are here, today, spazzing over this show.

(Yes I'm one of the ppl that red-hearted BOTH your statements.)

Everything you said was right. I'm glad you pointed it out, because now I can develop the article and make it more accurate.

Many thanks.

There are seedy underbellies in every culture, especially in the objectification of women. Much like you, I was shocked, because I thought Korean dramas were all cutesy animal references and polka dot dresses :P Turns out we're all wrong...

Who's the first?
