I agree with most of them!
1-The Goblin and Grim Reaper: it will be very difficult for another drama if they decide to put any of this characters... because these two will always be the original ones;
2-Ji Chang Wook is really suited for spy characters... I really always think of him as "the Healer" because he was very good at that;
3-Park Bo Gum is really the only Crown Prince (even though we might have a lot ot them) but the proof is that right now I am watching Reply 1988 and I keep thinking of him as the Crown Prince! I really love Bo Gum because he is so young, but he is so good! He was so wonderful in "Hello Monster" too... I think he is so good that make us belive he is really the character;
4-Nan Gung Min: "The girl who can see scents" was actually one of my first kdramas ever, so I was so nervous about him. When I saw him in "Beautiful Gong Shim" everytime he was cute I keep wondering how could someone could be a good psycho but a good person at the same time? lol So crazyyy how his acting is so good!
For me Nam Gung Min and Park Bo Gum are the best of this list!
Maybe you could also put Park Jeong Woo (Ji Sung) as the best Prosecutor... Defendant was such a good drama.
I almost dropped it. When I reached ep 9 I got tired and decided to put on a hold. I am so glad I decided to come back. It became so good after that. The story started to reveal and the second couple grew on me. If you dropped this, think about it again because it is good. The OST is wonderful;the leads weren't the best couple for me but they also didn't bothered me; the bromance is so funny; the story itself is also very well written and the acting is high quality. It's been a long time since I saw a drama this nice. I took some time to watch because I though it was overrated but it is very enjoyble :)
I just finished Goblin and you are so right... Couldn't agree more! I was waiting for them to me together more than the main couple (I am sorry). They totally stole the show for me. One of the best couples in kdramas ever <3
Oh Hae Young is one of my favorite leads ever... she is so fierce and don't hide her feelings at all. Kim Bok Joo is so sweet on her on way, she is not the usual cute girl, but she is one of the best younger leads also. I love both of them, really strong women.
I don't know how I finished this because it was sooooo bad. I think the time on the island is ok, but after…
Yes, this was a huge waste of time. No romance at all, but I was expecting it very much. About the 2 girls in the plane, you're right... they look like idols too, but were never mentioned. Too draggy for sure. My hope was that when everyone were lying Yeol would appear and stay by Joon Oh, so then everyone would change their minds and Tae Ho would finally be punished. But... none of that happened :(
I also dropped It's okay, that's love. I can even tell you why. Maybe I didn't like the main actor at all... but I love the lead actress! maybe I will try again sometime. But Pinocchio is pretty enjoyable, I've watched it twice. The first time I loved it because it was my first kdrama, but the second I could realize a few things that were terrible... maybe you just are a drama expert and a few things are just too much?
ps: about Goblin translation: I feel you! HAHAHA it always made me unconfortable! thank you for your article.
Eu simplesmente não acredito nesse final sem noção
finalmente posso comentar aqui em português. hahahaha manas, essa série só me fez passar raiva... cadê o desfecho do Yeol? e o Tae Ho de boa com todo mundo no final? Muito absurdo pra mim... aquilo só pode ser a alucinação de alguém hahaha
I don't know how I finished this because it was sooooo bad. I think the time on the island is ok, but after they return to seul is just too absurd. terrible writing, the characters were really weak. In the end everyone hangs out together like nothing happened? What about Yeol? his death is not even mentioned... doesnt make any sense... terrible drama! I was expecting so much!
I am loving that kdramas are having the "strong girl" topic, just as Weightlifting fairy kim bok joo. I am tired of girls that always cry, not everyone is like that. Girl Power!!
hahahaha I totally understand you! the fisrt thing I started to pay attention in asian dramas was skin treatment...…
Yeah... I kinda know about the korean beauty standard, I think one of the most famous is the white skin... I understand it is not the same everywhere but, anyway, just bothers me when this is overboard.
I didn't watched fated to love you but I googled it... oh god hahaha the grid suit is a classic I think. Do you know the tw actor Aaron Yan? I love him, but I think his stylists may have a weird eye for clothing...
I just started this today and I am liking it do far. I knew the story before because I read a little of the manga, and seeing the clichês, I have my guess about the end. I think we just have to wait and see. Just one thought, japanese dramas are really aiming for the "create a family/get married/housewife" theme this year? I just watched the other drama about this... maybe the country's situation have something to do about this? Just a coincidence?
hahahaha I totally understand you! the fisrt thing I started to pay attention in asian dramas was skin treatment... I even started to use face masks and this I do not regret.
I LOVE that in the same drama the rich and the poor have the same phone! Thank you sponsors! hahaha they try really hard to make a phone a hit, I guess.
Fashion is always something I pay attention... I don't know if the cultural difference is something but sometimes it is too much. But something I learned it that a CEO can dress any colors in a suit and that is ok, even red, purple, or even patterns...
I also HATE the shows where people are portrait as ugly or fat, because they are so far away from it (and so what if you are ugly or fat? if you love yourself this is what matters!) also, bothers me when someone has to change to be recognized. I've watched "She was pretty" and it was enjoyable but sometimes it got on my nerves, but I liked it specially the end. Why someone with curly hair, dark skin and fat is ugly? I love asian dramas, but what the hell, the beauty standards are something terrible (I think in the hole world this is a problem though...)
Thank you for your article! I always like to read thinks I can relate to :)
Even though it's supposed to be a remake, the female lead gives me a different feeling than the korean version.…
I think she has a different feeling too! I love the actress that plays the korean version, but I think the humor is kinda different. I wish the male lead here is taking way too long to show that he likes Li Hui Zhen, maybe he is too cold towards her?
OMG! Thank you so much for this... The first drama I ever watched was It Started It A Kiss, and also In Time With You is on my favorites list. I absolutely adore her, and I like very much the couple with Joe Cheng and Chen Bo Lin. She is an amazing actress because she can delivers emotions so well... I have to say we have the same opinion about a few dramas... I couldn't finish Tokyo Hotel and also Love Contract was so sad that I was kinda disappointed with the end, but I liked Ariel's acting very much. Everyone should give her a try! She is awesome! <3
