I just looked her up and I think I've read her blog before but thats interesting I'll look up when she has to say on the doramas I've watched.. too bad her last post was early 2012:(

hey!! well unfortunately there aren't many for japanese dramas but I follow http://hamsapsukebe.blogspot.ca/ I like the way he critics shows and movies even if i find him too picky but he makes good points ;)
For korean its Koala's playground & dramabeans which are pretty famous :P

I'd say most of the list is a big waste of talent... that was really hard to vote on :P

Thats why reading blogs about drama reviews & their comments is more fun!! You get to see the reasoning of different people's preferences.

It was MY best overall drama (talking about Saikou no Rikon) Cuz while it had comedy and romance, it was really about slice of life and about how different people trying to get along and live together... And the acting was top notch specially Eita (though at this point not surprising)

well I think I get what you mean... just that so many good jdoramas were
skipped by viewers specially here in MDL.

wow lotsa "Last Cinderella" fans here... I feel the voting is very... bias though I guess that is the point of it :P but my votes were most unpopular :P

If you're familiar with detective mystery mangas of mangaka Naoki urasawa u'll like this one because it is based on a mango written by "Takashi Nagasaki" who is famous for writing & co-writing many of this mangaka's mangas!!

Omg thxxxxx!!!!!

Well sometimes its about getting closure
Like in Rich Man Poor Woman his mom didn't come back in his life or tried to..
I think the main issues with j-dramas some people can do the worst thing then suddenly they ask for forgiveness and everyone forgives.. & I'm like NO! Can't accept that! It could be mothers, siblings, husbands, teachers, colleagues...
I remember Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata ~Ending Planner~ the episode when they discovered the little sister had an affair with the teacher. They took it SOO LIGHTLY!! It pissed me off! I'm like that teacher should be kicked out of school!! No matter the reason, he's the adult sleeping with an emotionally troubled teenager + he has a family.

I still love my jdoramas though

the first 2 episodes are also on GoodDrama
But thx for the website it has so many japanese doramas i can't wait to see (specially old ones!! :D)

So true about him being underrated!! I think he deserves lead roles!! Although I consider Gaksital as a true lead role for him (not second lead) because the story was truly about Kang To and shunji, who they are in the setting, how they evolve and what happens in their relationship. It was heartbreaking both actors did a great job conveying it. And both kicked ass their fight scenes were AWESOME!! Well in general the action in Gaksital was AWESOME!!

I've always recognized that he was talented but most of the time his movies and dramas arent really my taste but hopefully I get to see him in more projects ;)

Well its set in the same industry, so the original idea is similar but I think it will have its own story and I'm enjoying it now. I did enjoy King of Dramas ALOT, more than usual korean dramas :P

Didn't like episode 2 much.. The acting from the "guest stars" of the episode was bad, and also the dialogs were soo cheezy
I still like that show and its Idea, and specially the general feel and mood it gives, but I wish they can make the dialogs more interesting and subtle. I think episode 1 was subtler.

in my preteens every time I went to the movies was for a jackie Chan movie :P but I didn't know much of his HK movies

Thanks for the guide!! That is a page I'm saving as "favorite" on my browser :P
One of these days I will make the time to watch Jacky Chan movies especially the old ones. Growing up I've watched his hollywood like Rush Hour, the medallion, Shanghai knight (havent seen noon) back then the action and comedy was enough to satisfy me but I'd like to see some of his better movies from HK!! Thanks again!! ;)

I like that the lead isn't Young Do, cuz it'll be like watching Secret Garden all over again but I do find his character interesting.. he makes everyone tick.. and has a lot of chemistry with both Eun Sang and Rachel.

lool I guess your right about that :P
