I can't recommend this enough. Yes, you should totally watch this drama. I don't know how many times I've already typed this - haha. The ending is bittersweet, but not sad. It's well-worth it.

I was for Young Gul at the early beginning. Then later on I didn't know who to root for specifically. Somewhere along the way, I was rooting for Jae Hyuk. I still am... and I think it's pretty obvious from my avatar - haha. Young Gul is too controlling. I feel like he doesn't care about Ga Young's needs one bit. He thinks what he does for her is for her own good, but it seems to be hurting her big time.

So up till now... who's for Jae Hyuk and who's for Young Gul?

I'm leaning towards Jae Hyuk, so +1.

Hi there again Diba ^^!

TPM is definitely a terrific drama. It has everything. Great casts, beautiful scenery, heart-rendering OST, realistic plot devices, and superb characters. I don't know when I'll come across such an awesome drama again - haha.

I'd be more than glad to hear your updated opinion ^^.
I find TPM is more realistic than a lot of other Korean dramas.

Hola Rita ^^!

I'm currently watching Fashion King, Love Rain and RTP. So nothing new really - haha. I see that you're also watching Shining Inheritance. How are you finding it? Oh, is Queen In Hyun's Man any good? I tried watching the first episode, and it seemed somewhat interesting, but not enough to make me continue. Though, if you recommend it, I'll give it another try. I think it's my bias opinion about the main actress. She acts fake for me :S. I don't know if it's because of or voice or just her persona in general. The main dude doesn't catch my attention either.

Yay! You started on TPM. There are gonna be several twists and turns for you - hehe. Oh, you'll get to see a different side of the male protagonist. I didn't like him in the first half that much either. He caught my attention later on though. I was fully invested in the drama around episode 12 or so.

Is Jo In Sung or So Ji Sub the male lead? I know who Ji Won ends up with, but which male character was intended to be the main character from the beginning? Thanks!

Hi Diba ^^!

Thank you for the friend request. I see that you also love TPM ^^. I'm still crazy about that drama - hehe ^^;.

Haha! I laughed so hard on your description of JGS's hair.

Haha - I have a long list of crushes too (or husband candidate in your dictionary).

I'd understand if you drop Love Rain. I would too, but it fills up my Mondays and Tuesdays.

I completely agree with you with everything you said about current JGS. He's a great actor, but his looks is so distracting! It makes him seem unprofessional or rather the same for every role. Shouldn't he change up a bit - haha? It bugs the living crap out of me! I want the old youthful JGS back as well ^^;.

I think you might love him in Hwang Jin Yi. Be prepared that he's not the main lead. The only reason I really enjoyed that drama was because of him! After he left, I didn't want to continue!

I have mix feelings on Fashion King, so I'll see how it ends up then tell you if I change my mind about it - hehe.

I loved Jang Geun Suk in Hwang Jin Yi so much that I went to watch DoReMiFaSoLaTiDo and Baby & Me too! They were fun ^^. I miss the old him... where he was less funky. Anyway, his acting is still great. I just wish he'd take on more serious roles and subtract the weird hairdos and all.

His fashion style and hairdo makes me cringe from Love Rain. It's a huge distraction! I think I would love the drama more if he looked more manly. That's so shallow, but it's the truth! He even wears heels - haha!

Ummm... I'm not sure what's your taste in drama, and I don't know if you'll like Fashion King, since a lot of people are complaining about the two guys being jerks. It's not an awesome drama or anything noteworthy. If you turn off your brain, I guess you can say it's pretty addicting.

I love the 3 leading characters (I subtracted Yuri - haha). Maybe it's my bias taking a toll.

Ouhh! I also adored the soundtrack of Spring Waltz. Then again, I enjoyed all the soundtracks of the four seasonal dramas ^^. I think the main reason why these seasonal dramas drive me up the wall is because they're excessively melodramatic (for no reason at times). The characters (especially the female protagonist) always have to take all the blows or they go through some hellbent cancer process. It's just too dramatic. I'm glad they kind of got away from the those melodramatic themes that played in many 2000s dramas.

Omo! Daniel Henney was so gorgeous... and it still is gorgeous :3.

Love Rain is definitely less mellow than the previous dramas. It gets better too. However, I'm honestly not interested in the grown up stories all too much.

This drama is utterly stretchy... I'm barely hanging on. The overemphasis of melodrama is just nauseous. Some of the characters are very black and white so far.

I tend to stay away from long family dramas, but Smile, You caught my attention. The first few episodes might be slow, but once the two main characters pair off, it's so funny! It's not just the OTP that's funny. Lee Min Jung's character's brother is also hilarious. The whole family has a lot of dynamic conversations/struggles going on. Lee Min Jung's ex and his mother are also those to look out for.

I don't know what's your cup of tea exactly, but it's a really heartwarming drama, and every episode has something funny. I honestly have never seen a couple as smooth/natural/hilarious as our OTP from there.

I guess you can try, but I'd understand if you don't want to give it a shot because it seems so long. I definitely can't recommend it enough.

My pleasure ^^.

Secret Garden is most likely the best rom-com from all the Korean dramas. Though, if you're looking for another great rom-com with awesome chemistry, try "Smile, You" ^^. The main couple has the most natural chemistry together ... from all the Korean dramas that I've watched ^^.

RTP is just so hilarious! I'm surprised Han Ji Min can act so well in a comedy. YooChun's acting has improved tremendously!
Yes, I especially love the blue dude and the yellow dude.

I don't really like Love Rain all too much. It's not a bad drama, but it's kind of slow... and I don't have a huge liking for Jang Geun Suk. His funky hairstyle and fashion style doesn't help either. I cringe whenever I look at him. The only time I actually loved him was when he was in Hwang Jin Yi. From then on, he makes me have goosebumps. He's excessively feminine for me because of all his choices in clothing. Oh and the eyeliner doesn't help either. Anyway, I disliked Autumn Tale, Winter Sonata, Summer Scent, and Spring Waltz, so maybe that's why I'm not enjoying Love Rain so much. Though, I'd say Love Rain is the least aggravating one from those lot right now.

I didn't mind the cast all too much, but now that you pointed it out... I see what you mean. They were a little too old to be in a childish comedy. Besides that, the storyline and script were both horrible! I haven't even mentioned the characterizations yet... man, the characters were so cardboard cut-outs. They were unrealistic.

Omo! I'm also hoping Big will be good because I love Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo. Plus, it's Gong Yoo's return. I doubt they'd have awkward chemistry because they're both always so natural when it comes to lovey dovey scenes - haha.

Did you give Fashion King a try? A lot of people are complaining about the indecisive dudes and how they're treating the female protagonist, but I love this drama. It's the most exciting drama out of the lot I'm watching. Anyway, I also love RTP.

Hi Rourou ^^!

Thank you for the friend request! I see that we both love Secret Garden ;).

Haha - I'm so glad you enjoyed my review of The Greatest Love. I thought for sure that there'd be a lot of people who think otherwise than me, but sometimes it's good to know that there are others who think likewise ^^.

Yes, Yoon Kye Sang isn't a great actor (for me at least), but his presence always makes it all the more pleasing. However, I didn't like the way his character was handled, let alone the entire plot and characterizations of our other characters.

I am tremendously grateful that you read my review (and it's always a bonus that someone agrees ^^).

Oh, and I see you're also watching Love Rain and RTP :P.

Hi liviantus ^^!

I am watching those dramas at the moment, except for King2Hearts, but none of them are comparable to TPM. Fashion King and RTP are addicting alright, but they're not amazing.
