When you say kdrama bad boy you hate to love, Shunji only comes to mind. Out of your list, the only drama I've seen is RP and the thought of even remotely liking Tae Mu 't enter my mind! He was despicable in that role and I don't know how you came to like him. :D
I haven't seen Suspicious Housekeeper but there's something about Song Jong Ho seems that gives me the creeps in the roles he takes on. It felt like that in The Princess Man and I felt that teeny tiny repulsion too in Reply 1997. He's good to look at though, I agree to that!
Thanks for the guide! I'll be reconsidering FTLY on my line-up (I hope I can get over his hair! XD). I tried watching TWDR but I ended up shelving it. My first encounter with him was in the movie Please Teach Me English and also saw him in the Sassy Girl prequel Windstruck. :) I'll check out another movie mentioned in the comments--Thank You . ;)
Lie to Me made me stalk Kang Ji Hwan because he was--sexy. I just came off from stalking YEH's past dramas and LTM just finished airing. But KJH can act over the top at times and his project choices aren't exactly that great.
There are two dramas I haven't gotten around to seeing him in and those are Hong Gil Dong and Capital Scandal.
Congratulations to the winners. Song Kang Ho, Lee Jung Jae, Good Doctor, Lee Bo Young, Jung Woo (wiping his tears, aww!) and Baek Jin Hee. I think Covertly and YWCFTS are both over-rated. Ah well, there's always room for popularity votes.
Happy comeback to Jeon Ji Hyun! I hope to see her in sensible dramas and movies--next time! Oh, the same goes for Kim Soo Hyun.
Jang Nara and the girl from the Taiwanese version (Chen Joe) look alike. But whatis up with Jang Hyuk's hair?! He looks like Oska from Secret Garden. Lol, and the watermark on the pic says Top Star, too! XD
I hope Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara have explosive chemistry together! Here's to hoping they keep it at 16 episodes!
About rarely shown kisses: Generally, people in Asia are conservative. This is not a subjective feeling, but a continuous observation of behavior and culture that are being depicted in Asian dramas. So while kisses are rarely shown in lakorns or intimacy is delicately presented as you say, I think, for me, this is understandable. That is not to say, kisses or any form of 'skinship' are discarded. On the contrary, they are still highly anticipated and the fact that they're rare makes people want to see.
Not sure if anybody has pointed this out yet but I find it ironic that, for a conservative country like Thailand, a popular genre for lakorns would be slap-and-kiss.
I know Cheer has very high standards but I hope to find a gem in lakorns. There is always something different in a drama from another country and I believe a drama doesn't necessarily have to have a high budget to be a great piece. A drama can have an expensive budget and still come out shitty.
You had me at 'hooray', lol jk. :D You had me at 'leap between SKKS and Arang and the Magistrate'. Putting this on my ptw and will be waiting for updates and trailers. :)
Wow, Jung Il Woo as male lead and a pretty female lead to boot! Who else will be in this line up?

But damn, doesn't Yun Woo Jin look so handsome in those posters?!
