Yea a lot of them suit much more the the korea version :P
Matsuda Shota as Severus Snape would be awesome (+ long hair suits him!!)
Many of them r right on the spot ;)

Thx!!! Love the article ;) its soooo true!!!!!

Too bad most ppl around me aren't really close to any of the asian culture. I do have some coworkers into anime &/or horror that i want to "convert" them through White Christmas.

From your previous comment lool
anyways we're all here for the common thing which is our love for asian dramas (and actors ;P) despite different opinions ;) so I hope I did not offend you in any way, and if i did, know its not on purpose and I did not mean to in any way ;)
And I also hope we get to see more of your article ;)

First of all I appreciate the article, and I like that you don't seem to take it personally that some people don't agree with you. I think its okay to say how you feel about a drama, even if you haven't seen it, but I guess the wording could be different. But, in my opinion recommendations should only be from dramas you have watched.

Well wanting it to be teens is just asking for a totally other drama, which isn't a bad idea, just a totally different than the idea given there (again since I haven't seen this show, just arguing about its idea)

Some dramas its just difficult to summarize what they're about (like salaryman) or even if summarized, the feeling they give you while watching just cannot be included in the summary (that might sound very cheesy.

Agree! The only show I've watched was "Family Song" for Odagiri Joe, it didn't bother me that the writer of this article said she hated it, since she watched it, but didn't like that some of the dramas she didn't even watch saying that they are not good shows.

me too big time!! It didn't have a point AT ALL!!
Whats wrong with being a housekeeper though? I actually think its more interesting than being a teen, since you get to interact with people with different ages and backgrounds. I haven't seen that one but the point people are complaining about doesn't seem valid (at least to me)

You should really pick it up you don't know how much your missing out!! Byung Hee's spirit went on throughout the show but thats not the only reason. The band members are all rich characters that we get to know and understand more + great acting. Awesome Bromance story. It felt so complete specially the music.

I'm soo loving this show every episode!! I love that the 2 main teachers are so fundamentally different as any 2 can be, since it makes them the perfect foil for each other, which is something that would allow them to grow, since they're both not perfect and too extreme in their way of teaching. Some of the other teachers are showing some depth too...
The students are also very interesting, seeing their difference, their dreams (or lack of), aspirations, disappointments, and reactions.
That annoying parent is starting to get some depth but i still think she's annoying and has some mental control issues.. poor her son!! I wish the principal shows some more character, up to now (episode 7) she's just like a caricature (and an annoying one at it). Her assistant too, except he said 1 sentence in episode 6 that made me think he might have something more to him :S

I totally agree!!!
As for me every time i want to thank someone wholeheartedly i feel the need to say "arigatooo" and in the mornings "Ohayo" feels much more appropriate :P and also the expression "Omo" and whwn i watch something with too much clichés "Makjank" is the best way to express it ;)

True its a show that kept on getting better each episode

Me too!!! I thought "could it be??" Until i saw the picture :P
Something about the last episode was quite far fetched .. Mainly how much yuiko's mom went to reconnect with Ayami.. But as a whole really liked that show;)

Devil Beside You was the 1st taiwanese drama i watch!! So obviously it has a special place for me. It certainly is better than many taiwanese drama i watched since. Both shows are very similar though, almost like copies. There are some things I liked in both dramas. In why why love, i like that they went a bit slower on the relationship while DBY i felt they went too fast. Both shows had a lot of clichés going on but those in WWL just felt too draggy and i hate draggy. So i think DBY is better.

I don't think Jang Geun Suk as snape would work cuz he has a smiley face while snape's always gloomy. I'd imagine Yun Jung Hoon from Vampire Prosecutor would suit the role (except the Long Hair though)
In general i prefer it as it was made but it was a fun thought. I'd imagine if there was a korean version the focus would've been on the main trio's "love triangle" that doesn't exist in the original :P But for once second lead would win the girl;)

A lot of them are one of my favorite... specially your top 2!! Heartstring's Because I Miss You just affects me each time i listen to it as if its the first time,
...while Jaywalking so unbelievably addicting!!

There's a song from Secret Garden I really love but doesn't seem that famous called Scars

2 other songs I'd add would be
To The Beautiful You's "Stand Up" (the song was awesome, unlike the drama :P)
and last but not least Gaksital's Good Bye Day ;)

So true!! Maggie Smith's character is my favorite!! And when they added Shirley MacLaine it just became hilarious and an interesting foil to each other :P

lol u guessed totally right lool :P
And yea Downton Abbey is one awesome show!! I haven't finished season 3 yet though.. still enjoying it ;)

I'm afraid to say cuz most ppl LOVE him :P I don't hate I haven't seen his shows but just don't like him that much..
