ZE:A is definitely an actor-ful group :P Siwan, Hyungshik, Dongjun.. all are better known for their acting now *-*

Thanks for mentioning this! I loved Shin in Legend of the Blue Sea, so I might watch that just to see him again :3

Let me take this opportunity and promote "Love for a Thousand More" (http://mydramalist.com/21720-love-for-a-thousand-more) It stars 2 guys from Winner, but if the series hadn't been free to watch on YG's YT channel I would probably not have known.

Also "The Day After We Broke Up" (http://mydramalist.com/19916-the-day-after-we-broke-up) with Infinite's L is great. The first two episodes might make you believe it's just the standard simple (web)drama story but it's actually more complex & deeper than you think it is!

I highly recommend both of these, they're definitely better than the average web-drama (whether those star idols or not).

Too bad, I was team Ha Joon (Ji Soo's character) for Sassy go go ^-^'

Goblin & DOTS had the same advertisement/product placement for candles as well.

For this kind of series that's more about characters than plot, it's really easy to get a good second season. But it only really works if at least most of the characters/cast members return, which I really hope will happen!

I was afraid you'd mention the main couple love-story, but the list is perfect. Well done! :D

Wang So & Hae Soo? Are you kidding me? -_- it was a rollercoaster ride for sure though...

I agree wholeheartdly with W, WFKBJ & DOTS, those were amazing couples! I really have to check out Love In The Moonlight!

Same here, I have no clue what that ending is supposed to be.

I watched the first episode yesterday and I was kind of disappointed and am wondering if I should carry on watching.

Do the characters stay like that?
The guy is a little bit too self-centered in my opinion. I find neither the threats nor how clingy the gumiho is funny. And the guy's friends & grandpa seem very cliché to me: classic girl who thinks the lead is so handsome and great (friend #1) + guy who actually loves the girl (friend #2) and tssk-ing rich & authorative grandpa.
Please tell me this is not all there is to them :(

there's so much potential, but yeah.. we're not getting what we could have had :(

I personally wouldn't recommend it x) unless you really like the actors or actually ship the main couple.

I agree so much! After yesterday's episode I'm hoping perhaps that the princess & Seon Woo end up together and the king & Ah Ro. (Or anything else is fine really as long it's not Ah Ro & Seon Woo..) In any case, Ban Ryu & Soo Yeon are certainly the cutest! :3

thanks for pointing that out. it's a bit confusing how MDL refers to this as a "side story"

ok, thanks! :)

SLS = Second lead syndrome, I guess? Is it between Nam Joo Hyuk's & Sunjae's characters? Just like Nishat, I'm not really sure whether to start this drama and I'm the very picky kind of watcher that almost never drops dramas, so I prefer to ensure I'll like it before starting :P thanks for your help :3

Nobuta wo produce & Yuuki are not romance dramas though (or if so, barely). But I do agree that they're amazing dramas! ❤
Koizora is beautiful, although you do need a little mental preparation for all the drama.
Haven't seen the others though, I'll check them out!

I only watched 2 of these back when I was into jdramas. I loved Tatta Hitsotsu no Koi (it was such a cute couple :3), but I can totally not remember what happened in Buzzer Beat..

@Tenie & yuurei: I couldn't agree more!

For me #1 is the romanticised abusive relationships.
It's so repulsive to me, and I really think it should not be shown in series as younger viewers can be influenced by them and think it's actually romantic/cute/... if the male lead is manipulative and even physically violent towards the female lead. (I know, because my stupid younger self has been there.) If it's an abusive relationship, clearly show it's not alright and report the guy to the police. Thanks.
