1 episode in and I'm in!! So fun!!

I get what you mean, but for me I found it easy to ignore the gaps cuz it was pretty damn entertaining ;)

I haven't seen most of those dramas, but from your reviews, I think what made you cheer for the bad guys was because the good guys weren't.. well good guys, whether its badly written or they just don't give you a good reaso to cheer for them :P

Thats one thing I don't get from the way they do their product placing! I mean every drama out there has chaebols and rich people where they can advertise their product their, so why make those that usually in real life situation would have other priorities than the latest trends of technology have all those high tech product?? I think it should be done better, right now its too obvious that its distracting

looool yup KoD was hilarious

OMG great article!! I guess most non-asian have a similar experience when it comes to being introduced to Asia dramaland :P
I got a similar experience (if you read my profile you'll know :P) with starting with anime (my first and all time love) then while growing up watchin arabic tv series with my family, starting with egyptian, then got invaded by syrian series, which were awesome for the longest time (except recent years a lot of repetitiveness and wann beism) then got introduced to kdramas by kbs world channel we accidently got in our arabic sattelite!! It was awesome!! And it saved me from being invaded from the turkish shows that have taken over the arabic entertainment world that my sister is enjoying now lool
I think one day (soon) they will be doing studies on this asian dramaland and you can get your chance to present that thesis ;)

I think thats an accurate representation of how people communicate these days ;)

Not wanting to watch because of the number of episodes is a very valid reason for me :P I've never watched I long drama but I gave this one a try for the main lead guy, and his character hasn't disappointed up til now. I found the episodes easy to watch so I've been up to date. I don't know if I'll continue watching it to the end, but for now I still find it well executed and entertaining. But I totally understand you fearing the number of episodes :P I guess a show like that its easier to watch week to week than all together so it won't feel too time consuming :S

I loved the scene of the conversation the brothers had on the phone, and the way Sun Woo expressed himself. Somehow in this drama people manage to express themselves more by phone than face to face (specially Sun Woo, he even confessed by phone :P) and the scenes are still emotional and effective.

I totally agree with you, often I find some of their actions weird and wonder if there will be repercussion later.. and there isn't!! But I think the worst is Hana Yori Dango... Its the one where people are actually getting hurt BADLY!!! And the excuse is: they're too rich with too much time on their hand & poor them parents too busy for them!!

True that character always drove me nuts no matter the version.. but I don't know what it is in it thats obsessive but I think its excuse is: That was the point of the story
On the other hand the main girl from To the Beautiful you I could not get AT ALL!! She grew up in the states.. more open environment but acts like someone who never went out of her room, does not get all the OBVIOUS hints that the guys like her, falls for every stupid trap set to her, and on and on...

me too 1-2 were ehh.. 3-4 were like okay maybe it'll be more interesting but man 5+ (just finished 9) were soooo intense!! soo good!! But dunno how it'll last 20 episodes :S

I only watched 2 episodes & ... Didn't get around finishing it.. But 2 episodes were enough for me to get to know the 2 female lead of it and they actually came to mind when i first started this ;) I really loved the 2nd lead girl. I also liked that they show that a girl doesn't need to be physically strong to have confidence and a strong character!!

yup its Downton Abbey, its got 3 short seasons and 2 christmas specials.. Its REALLY good
I don't know y the 3rd picture never shows but another really good english miniseries you might like is called North & South (only 4 Episodes!!!) enjoy ;)

Well its more slice-of-life and some serious issues are portrayed in a comedic sarcastic way. Its really good though, and the characters are all well written, you get to know more about them and understand them each episode. Its like they tick you off, but you still care for them to know whats next

REALLY?? I've been waiting for ever for it!!

Yea it wasn't good..and the ending was even worst... but had an awesome theme song!!

Well even if he's innocent, that was very irresponsible of him. He has the responsibility to protect his reputation, specially knowing the culture he lives in, and as a famous actor.
the truth is still unclear to me but one thing that i get the feeling out of this, no one in this story is entirely innocent! it actually make a good movie.. full of twist and turns :P

Hey long time... Hope the dramas I recommended were useful ;) Have had enough time lately to watch as many dramas as I would like but trying to finish some XD

Thx for the comment on my profile I'm glad u liked it ;) Now that I look at it, it Does look pretty long :P I prefer profiles like yours, Short, but effective ;) Love the first pic its the story of my life when I was in school lool
Now that I'm done, its only work work work!! Takes all your time! How about you, whats up?

I agree with you Han Kang is number 1. I actually don't like the actor much, I wasn't too crazy about the character, but if you wanna show an example of someone in love with complete loyalty, I think he is it.
I didn't watch "Missing You" but the way you describe him sounds more like an obsession to me than really loving someone. Rui had something off about him, a bit out of this world.
