Oh, and YAY!!! I'm so glad you are liking it! The kids who play the younger versions are so amazingly talented, I am just in awe every time I watch it!

I'm 25 :) I only have a few classes left, and then I will start my student teaching internship. I'd say it's a good idea to ignore Tdramas for now! There are so many great kdramas out there, you definitely don't want to be overwhelmed. My first drama was Full House, way back in 2004! I was into anime in high school, but I was tired of cartoons. I came across a DVD set of Full House on eBay and bought it! I watched almost all of it, and then didn't finish it til year before last :p I wasn't a huge fan of Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, but I'm glad it got you hooked :)

Software engineering doesn't sound boring. And it's a really great field for growth :) I'm an education major, I hope to start teaching next fall. Taiwanese shows are....different! I had started about a dozen of them, and could never make it more than a few minutes into them, I just don't like the way Mandarin sounds! It's a very harsh language. And the pacing is super different from kdramas, they are a lot slower. Everyone tells me they have better kiss scenes, but I think I must be picking the wrong dramas cause so far none of them have had good kiss scenes! Well, In Time With You did, but they weren't til the very last episode!! Just You so far has been my favorite, it's just so sweet. Almost gratingly so, but I can't help it, I love it!

What are you going to school for? I'm terribly nosy :p I'll definitely let you know what I think when I finish! It's nice that we have similar tastes :) always good to have someone you can trust recommendations from! I hate watching more than one drama at once! I hadn't meant to start Just You or Love Around, it just kind of happened! Then I started Who Are You and my friend from my book club wanted to watch it with me, so I was waiting for her to catch up and started Master's Sun. But I think I'll finish Who Are You tonight and I'm thinking I'm going to drop Love Around, that will leave just two dramas, much more manageable :p

Master's Sun is really good! I'm kind of blown away by how much I'm liking it! The lead characters are just so funny together! The lead guy is a major jerk, but I can't help but like him! I usually never watch airing dramas, but now I'm in the middle of four of them! Who Are You is really similar to Master's Sun, but MS is campy and a little silly. Who Are You is more serious/melodramatic. So far, I'd recommend either of them, but the ending to either could definitely change that!
Did you get a chance to start Missing You yet?

I think they do! It took a while for me to get into it, but once I did it quickly became a favorite. And it's pretty funny, too! There is a little bit of action, since she is a stunt woman!

Haha, and it's the same tomboyish girl as in Kong2Hearts, my bad! Yea Gil Ra Im is about as unfeminine as they come, so maybe it's not for you! Hopefully you finish your homework quickly then :) I love writing reviews, just because I like having the things I loved and hated about something written down. But I don't like reading them because I like going into dramas without expectations. It leads to less disappointment, I find :p

I am so glad you loved Queen and I so much! It is just such a perfect drama, I have no complaints! There is an extended version of that final scene up on YouTube! It's just more making out, but it is definitely worth watching! Hopefully you find yourself a short girl who will reenact your favorite scenes :p I'm not going anywhere! So long as you keep commenting I will always reply :) I have a pathological need to have the last word :p have you watched Secret Garden yet? I'm on my phone, so it's a pain to go to your list after typing all of this up :p

We all have things that we like! Hang Ah is definitely capable of kicking ass, but she is also pretty feminine! It's funny watching her fight between wanting to be like other girls and being seen as a man. I hope you like Missing You :) you'll have to keep me updated in how you are liking it!

You don't like Yoochun!? That hurts my heart :p I saw him in Rooftop Prince, and I wasn't all that impressed. But his character in Missing You was just perfect, it has created a lifelong fan :p My Princess is great, but it definitely has next to no action in it! Missing You has some action in it, not as much as City Hunter. King2Hearts is a good blend of action and romance, if you haven't seen that one yet! :) oh, and Bridal Mask is supposedly awesome, too! Every person I know who has watched it has loved it! But it doesn't have enough romance to interest me, since it's set in a time period I am not crazy about.
This was a lot of fun to read! Great job :) though, I do disagree about Hedgehog being classified as a jerk. He had slightly nefarious motives at the outset, but even then he was nothing but a huge help to the struggling Pan Da sisters!

The chemistry in Queen and I is pretty hard to replicate! The Greatest Love has some pretty great chemistry in it! Lie To Me also has a lot chemistry, though people tend to dislike it a lot because the writing went absolutely insane in the middle. But if you ignore those two or three episodes, it's really good and the leads have a spark together :) really, anything with Yoon Eun Hye in it has great romance, she is one of the best romantic actors I've ever watched. Her Soo Yeon and Micky's Jung Woo are my second favorite couple of all time, second only to Hee Jin and Boong Do. I Need Romance 2012 has some good chemistry in it! I love Kim Tae Hee and Song Seung Hun in My Princess, they are so good together :) I think cause the actors in Queen and I are dating in real life, they just have this level of chemistry that is untouchable!

Hey, I was half right! That almost never happens :p I live in eternal hope for a drama that will bewitch me the same way Queen and I did! Nine Times Time Travel is made by the same people and it does have a lot more action in it than Queen and I! It's really good, but it doesn't focus on the relationship aspect as much as Queen and I does. But the lead actor is phenomenal! King2Hearts is probably another one you'd like! It's fairly mature in terms of violence, doesn't shy away from people dying. That's all I can think of with a similar vibe to it! I don't watch a lot of action dramas, so I'm not a very good source for recommendations on that side of the drama spectrum.

I didn't know that about the box thing! That's funny that they do that! With such height discrepancies though, it's pretty smart! I am just dreadful at guessing ethnicities! I'd wager South Asian?

Haha, I will have to pay attention to heights other than in kissing situations :p it always seems to me that they don't have to bend very far to kiss, so maybe that's why I think that! 6'2" is pretty tall!! I bet it comes in handy reaching stuff off the top shelf :p I'm 5'7", so not really all that short, I suppose!
Isn't it funny how dramas can just kind of sneak up on you? I never would have thought I'd be this obsessed with them :p there are a lot of good action dramas out there, so I am sure you can scratch both itches at once :)
The Shin Min Ah drama is my Girlfriend is a Gumiho. It's a seriously cute drama, I love Shin Min Ah and Lee Seung Gi together!

I am almost afraid to even keep watching now! The way he ignored her as he walked up with her was just awful and broke my heart :( I can't imagine a whole episode (or worse several episodes!) of his crap about having a fiance. Who the heck gets engaged in a week?!? UGH!
So, I saw the preview for 10 where they say that Cha Hee Joo might still be alive. I kind of hope she isn't really alive somewhere and that she is in some kind of coma of some sort, like that woman who was at the hotel was doing. That's kind of mean :p But from what I've seen so far, even dying in a fiery car crash seems too nice for her!!
I'm really shocked that I am liking the actress that is stalking Kang Woo! I really hated her in Cheongdamdong Alice, it's funny to see her as semi-relatable :p
Kang Woo could totally steal my heart, I just love that actor :p The scene where something is knocked over and Joong Won asks her if that means there is a ghost there, the dang toolbox in my living room fell over and made a huge crash! I had to wait til Shawn came home before I was willing to leave the bedroom :p This show just does funny things to you!!!!

I just finished episode 9, and I can't freaking believe that he is getting married!?!!?!!?? What the fuck?!? This drama is so addictive, it's ridiculous!! I just started it to wait for my friend to catch up on Who Are You and now I can't stop watching it! I can't believe you have survived watching it week by week, I'd be a mass of wrecked nerves by now!!!!!

I was not anticipating this drama would make me cry, but I bawled like a baby in the episode with army dog! I can handle people dying, but man, dog's dying is just ridiculously hard to watch D:

It does seen fairly rare to find guys on here that watch dramas, but I suppose it can't really be all that uncommon! I mean, dramas have something for everyone, I think if more guys tried them out, they'd like them :)
Haha, I bet you were super bummed that it wasn't about kickboxing!! And it's probably best that you skipped the last episode, that kind of ending is just too depressing :(
I love the height difference! It seems fairly rare to find tall leads in Kdramas, so I always appreciate it when there is such a height difference! Makes for really good kiss scenes :p

I started Master's Sun! You are right, it's incredibly good! It's so different from Who Are You! Master's Sun is kind of campy, and the ghosts are terrifying! Who Are You is more serious, and the ghosts aren't nearly so scary. I love Gong Sil and Joong Won together, they are seriously reminiscent of Ae Jung and Dokko Jin! He even looks like Dokko a little bit!
