The best kiss I ever watched came from a T-drama. I think you had good points, but out of all examples...Playful Kiss? No, no and no again. I think several actors and actresses are good (Yoon Eun Hye? OMG!) but I'm going to be honest with you...asian kisses on screen have a long way to go, starting with a nation-wide ban of keeping your eyes open, and looking like you're playing the non-musical part of musical chairs (the bit where they freeze, lol?)<br /><br />Some (the majority) of K-dramas have the worst kisses out there.<br />I don't watch dramas for kissing anyway, or else I'd be perpetually disappointed every way I turn!

This drama had a unique starting point, which I'm annoyed wasn't exploited to the max. This was a new type of role for Park Shin Hye, and I was really feeling it in episode 1 (come on...that bit on the counselling couch - pure awesomeness!) but as the story progresses, you see little character development (PSH barely speaks, which if not directed accurately, gets annoying after a while) and the story descends into banality and boring routines/stalking. I dropped at ep 5, so I don't know if it gets better than that...but what a platform to work with, and what a way to bugger it up. *la sigh*

This drama is something special, if it continues the direction it's taking. Loved the bit where class president is dueting with an imaginary younger version of his classmate, I can officially say only in MONSTAR :)

The delicious irony is further apparent, when you notice his personal details state, he's "28" DOB: 30/11/84

Haha, hilarious article. The last few lines were precious, and also very true! Losing your gift...filled with sobs, haha. I liked this article very much, and it just confirms that one of korea's strengths (promoting chastity, true love, etc etc) is also one of it's biggest flaws (no chemistry when it comes to kisses, and wrist-grabs don't do it for me, because he looks like an archaic cave-man.)

Yoon Eun-Hye is the best kisser out there, but unfortunately, is not put to good use, in terms of decent scripts! Coffee Prince was BRILL. Goong...meh. Missing you...just about. Lie to me...dreadful.

lol, of course.

In the eastern world, maybe. In the west, girls are expected to sleep with each hillbilly who sends her flirty eyes. Quite sad O.o

Not necessarily. Because this storyline has been repeated sooo many times, at sooo many angles, most of us feel like we've seen it now. Writers keep having to get more inventive to get us interested.

lol..I don't mean the drama has to be about a loser. Just a change, will be nice. I will check it out! thanks

Oh no. I'm not hating Disney at all, because let's face it, it's every little girl's multi-billion dollar dream ;) I really enjoy Disney films (Tangled, anyone?) and it shouldn't be messed with, because it works so well.

But it's the truth. Disney conditions girls to see marrying "princes" are the norm, and being good, and kind, and fair, will make you get one. I think that's why a lot of little girls are disappointed when they grow up, and the rose-tinted spectacles come off. Because there are 3 douchebags out there, for every nice guy. (Don't quote me on that, lol.)

The venn diagram paints an interesting picture, because it states men who display the 3 desired qualities: Smart, handsome and nice are GAY! Thanks. Thanks for that. What a brilliant piece of news, as I break down in despair :D

Child stars have always been amazing, if I remember correctly I watched "Stairway to Heaven" (2003) and was blown away by Park Shin Hye's performance. Fast forward a decade, and I'm struggling to connect with her in any of her roles. Don't get me wrong. The girl's amazing. But it'll be interesting to see how many of these child stars manage to transition to adulthood without compromising on their acting ability/sincereness.

Recently, I enjoyed the young actors from Jang OK, though I can't find them anywhere on dramalist O.o

Good article. Would have loved if you did a top 10, or something, because there's so many x

But what? That's a pretty big cliffhanger!

It's all there in my article (look above.) It even has links to the appropriate drama page which the kind editors put in. I can just tell by your comment (lol) you only looked at their ranking (1,2,3,4,5) and maybe the pictures :P

Ah! No wonder. What a drama to choose! I haven't watched Miss Ripley, because I heard it was poor, but I HAVE seen him in at least 3 others, and he was goooood. Trust me. And I don't give praise away lightly.

The real reason was that Park Shin Hye was involved in a car accident (a common scenario for actors in K-dramas than you might think), so one episode was aired instead of the usual two for a week, and this had a knock-on effect about 16 episodes being cut by one. So it wasn't about bad ratings at all :/ (Though it was no great loss to be honest)

I agree with this reasonable person.

Oh, that's terrible news! I don't want him to drop dramas just because people are not taking to him. He should totally continue honing his skills, and ask his team to help him pick roles more carefully.

Yeah...it's actually quite sad. It's like they're being offered these opportunities, because of their "star-power" not concrete acting ability. I think most koreans are trained to be a "triple threat" anyway, so it's harder and harder, to spot rising talent, because there's so many "jack of all trades, but master of none..."

Yeah, I live in the UK. Although people complain all time, about how miserable it is, I think it's a very inspiring place to live. Just like Jane Austen, Keats, JK Rowling...all the greats, lol.

As good as a master procrastinator, sleep deficient person can be, I guess. Haha. What dramas r u watching? I almost feel scared to ask...but is Suzy any good in "Gu Family book"

I enjoyed her role in Big, and Dream High (ish) but both those characters are almost robotic, which Suzy is scarily good playing at.

If I'm going to be completely honest with you, this is a clever article, and I'm glad someone has done it, because it needed to be done. All these dramas are about product placement, and for the longest time, I have disagreed with the fact I see these poor girls (it usually is the girl, I'm not generalising) whipping out the latest phone, when they live in little more than a bungalow with carboard furniture. Every time I see this scene, I yell, "Why don't you just sell that phone, it'll feed you for 6 months!!"

Thank u for confronting this topic. Peace x
