Hi Hessa, sorry for replying late to your post in the introductions section. It's nice to meet you! :)

Hey there, no need to apologize :) Your post has got me wondering as to how I will manage to watch dramas after I'm married? I mean, I hope my future ah-ne (wife) will also take interest so we can watch together with no issues lol!

Yes, Queen of the Game is melodrama extreme lol! Midas is just incredible, it's all about business and money obsession and it's so damn addictive!
One thing however, I personally felt put off with Jang Hyuk's acting throughout this show and although I do understand that he is considered a 'veteran actor', it's almost as if he had no expressions at all and seemed wooden throughout Midas.
Having said that, he still seemed very professional as a businessman because it wasn't an easy role.

I am yet to see A Dirty Carnival, but I have to watch it for LBY haha! I've been planning to watch this movie for some time now, so I may watch it this week. Oh yeah, let me know how you found those movies I mentioned :)

I will def check out Cruel City because I am looking for a fast paced show. The other two I'm planning to start are King2Hearts and That Winter, The Wind Blows.

Hey there, just wanted to say that you have a very impressive list! We have quite a few movies in common, but I don't think I can ever manage to watch that many dramas lol! :)

Hi there, I was just adding 'Cold Eyes' on my list of movies to watch and noticed the link you posted...so I just wanted to say thank you! :)

Oh tell me about, even I felt that way as well about having no life and I've been getting fatter because of this addiction lol!

I use gooddrama.net as well (because dramacrazy shut down) or at times I would watch on Netflix where the quality is HD. Thank you for the other site btw, it looks really good :)

I noticed that you gave 'Padam Padam' a 10/10 as well, it's my all time fav show and it made me cry a lot...and guys are not supposed to cry lol!

Hey there, you're welcome :) Haha thank you, I am seriously addicted to movies, but I don't think my list is anywhere near as impressive as yours. That's a lot of dramas you have completed!
How did you find 'King2Hearts'? I am thinking of watching it next.

I LOVE YOU!!!

Oh yeah, I've heard of Cruel City and have been thinking of starting it. I'm watching 4 dramas atm and am really enjoying Sign, it's all about forensics and solving murders cases. Very good show!

Oh dear! Ahjussi must be upset that you are neglecting him for dramas lol!
Well, from the dramas I have completed thus far...my fav ones other than Padam Padam are IRIS, Midas and Queen of the Game. All are excellent and mature dramas.
I would highly recommend Queen of the Game (2006), it stars Jin Mo Joo and Lee Bo Young, it's a story about revenge and the importance of forgiveness in life. It's a little similar to Padam Padam in some ways but there is more happening and overall it's very addictive with great OST. It's a very sad story but the main cast do an excellent job.

Midas (Jang Hyuk and Lee Min Jung) is exceptional and much different from other Kdramas, it's all about financial wars, obsession with money and greed. I gave this 10/10 easily!

In terms of genre, I like anything with a good story line targeted towards a mature audience.
Due to my familiarity with Korean actors thanks to all those movies I've watched over the years, I prefer watching dramas that include the A list actors - Jin Mo Joo (my fav actor), LBH, Seung Heon Song & JWS...because this prevents the disappointment of watching all those childish type of shows which IMHO are pure garbage, hence why I never take drama rankings seriously lol!

OMG I don't want LBH, I don't swing that way haha! It's Lee Min Jung whom I wanted but he married her lol!

Haha thanks man! But I need to cut down on movies now and spend that time in the gym as I am getting fat lol!

Continuing message...

Oh you didn't watch IRIS? Yes the ending was very controversial and not a good one if you're a LBH fan (although he was the reason for the way it concluded), but even then it really was a great show!

I like LBH as well...he is a top actor, but last month he gave me good reason to dislike him by marrying my Lee Min Jung! I mean that's not fair lol! :(

Do let me know if there is any movie you are interested in on my IMDB list :)

By the way, I noticed that you gave the Korean movie 'Ditto' a rating of 4 out of 10. Was it really that bad? I haven't seen it yet and may not watch it now lol!

Hi there,

Thank you so much for the welcoming message. I am already starting to like this site, it's such a good way of creating a drama/movie list and for having discussions with like minded people.
Wow 34 series in under a year, you're doing very good! Which ones are your favorite?
Yeah, I also prefer movies to dramas as well, which probably explains why I have so far managed to complete only 8 Kdrama's and I started in Feb early this year lol!

Yes, 'Padam Padam' was my first Kdrama and till this day, it's my most favorite! There was no glamour, no Seoul, no CEO/business empire, only a small element of fantasy (the miracles and Gook Soo's wings lol), just a $2m budget and yet it was an absolute masterpiece.
Personally, I don't think anyone else could have acted the way Jung Woo Sung did.
Now although I'm a guy, Padam Padam made me cry a lot! Please don't tell anyone haha!

This movie is a total waste of time!
