I did notice that in Mulan and now in Butterfly Lovers. I haven't heard about the others though.

Yeah, whew! With the exception of HYS, I think the actors did fine but the story is just too dull. And I only got to watch Will it Snow from knowing Kim Soo Hyun (he played the younger version of Go Soo) who I watched previously in Dream High. So the drama was an intro of sorts for me to everybody else in it.

I'm surprised I'm enjoying Reply '94's pace. Well, so far so good. It brings back the flavor from the previous season and the humor is definitely Korean--a mix of foul language, toilet humor, puns and regional distinction/discrimination. They put bits and pieces of trivia circa 1994 like Ace of Base, the beeper, Jang Dong Gun in a basketball drama LOL!

Lmfao Caocaostitlskin! XD XD

I've heard about Butterfly Lovers before but I think it was the movie adaptation. Too bad yt doesn't have the complete series.

Ah then I don't regret putting Will it Snow on hold. Right there in the middle it started to get nowhere and it became draggy. I almost dropped it! You can imagine how I started to feel about Han Ye Seul after that. It was a good thing I liked Song Jong Ho in TPM after that and then in Reply 1997 or else he would have been included in the imaginary list of Korean actors I avoid watching!

I would love to watch Jung Ryeo Won and Joo Ji Hoon act together but if it's like what you say, then I don't have to watch it right away.

Puhahahahaha! XD That chuckle is so awkward for Cao Cao! I keep thinking who the hell does his dubs when he laughs like that because it sounds like Rumpelstiltskin! XD XD

How I agree with you, Peter Ho is just splendid I just wish he had more main roles because seeing him do roles like Lu Bu is making me want to pull my hair out! The only good role I've seen him in is Sophie's Revenge and he is so swoon-worthy there! Q__Q

Zhou Yu is the one who met with Sun Ce at his father's grave right? I will have to keep an eye out for him as well then.

I took a peek at your CW and you're almost done with Will it Snow at Christmas! How is it? That and Top Medical Team?

aiya, raws are available even on yt but the only subs so far are on viki. :(

I know~! When they said this was a war-historical drama, they weren't kidding! And they have layers upon layers of politics that come with it. Zhang Fei was a real idiot and Lu Bu O___O. Peter Ho is so good I want to kick his a** OMG!

Right now, I'm observing Liu Bei and just imagine he has a thought bubble every time he does a murderous side-glance. Something like "What the f**kery is this?" with a calm and collected face. LOL The man is just so uhh PATIENT. A long time has already passed and I am waiting for Sun Quan to appear. :D The emperor is already a grown man and Sun Ce sports a mustache now! :D

That happens to me! Sometimes I can't get over first impressions. I had that experience with Protect the Boss where I couldn't keep my interest in the story. From then on I had a hard time watching actors from that drama portray other characters in other dramas.

I'll check that out, thanks! :)

This is so good~! I'm not into pretty boys but when they cross over to being manly handsome and transform into a character, they could really make me ask that question. Lee Jun Ki is the perfect example. He was good-looking in My Girl but what really blew my mind away was The King and the Clown. Q___Q I loved him in Arang as well.

I'll be picking up Reply 1994~thank you, I needed a reason to see it~and Shark~my daughter likes LSH ever since she saw him in 2ne1's mv for 'It Hurts', but to me he's a pretty face, nothing more. I've only seen him in What's Up and I couldn't even remember what his role was in it. I'd like to see my opinion of him change!

I have yet to see JJ in a role that I can see his character. Maybe it's just me but his prettiness is too overwhelming for me not to think that he's JJ.

Looking forward to the Gals' Edition. :)

you should be able to watch it on viki as Lan Ling Wang. It's available in our region! :)

Poor Lee Da Hae, she became the object of criticism. Gawd, these accidents and these actors insisting on shooting instead of going to the hospital~! Makes you really wonder why they have to shoot live when they can shoot in advance and save themselves the pressure and health risk! Talk about serious cramming! Whew!

Indeed, there were moments of injustice and when they seemed so intolerable, I turned to reading about what happened in the era. To know that they were so much worse in real life made me see things in proper perspective.

Secret and I both love Yuwen Yong and personally I wished he had more scenes than the tangent the drama chose to highlight.

@Archania: Thanks for the compliment. :) Our original idea was actually wackier than the tone of the guide (with stars for beauty and 'date-ability' lol) but we didn't want our readers to think the drama would be more comedic in tone than it was intended to be so we tried our best to present it in an enticing yet non-spoiler-y fashion.

I'm actually very lucky to have Secret as my writing partner because she has a unique way with words and writing with her was such an enriching experience. Looking forward to do more projects with her so please anticipate our future collabs! :D

:D I got excited when I saw it today~! I didn't even notice because I was stuck looking for Christmas ornaments and origami tutorials on yt! XD Eee! I'm so happy! ^_^

Yay! Our article is out! Chukhanda~! *virtual hug*

It's on viki as Lan Ling Wang: http://www.viki.com/tv/7894c-lan-ling-wang

Oh I'd love to see Sun Quan grow! He's so much wiser than Sun Ce although his gu-gu will become emperor (I haven't read anything much on them other than the fact that Sun Ce establishes one of the three kingdoms).

Lu Bu is indeed legendary but somewhere somehow he got screwed up pretty bad...don't wanna tell details. Just don't fall too much for him. :D That said, I'd still want to see how he grows in the drama and when Zhu Ge Liang will come into play. I keep on looking at the ending credits and see how old Cao Cao had become and if he's that old, I hope we'll see grown-up Sun Quan as well.

I saw that and it did look like smaller feathers. The actor who played the younger Yushin was Lee Hyun Woo! :D

Episode 7 was awesome! It's nice to see they have another set of protagonists to focus on. Sun Quan is a son to have--just like Cao Cao said. And he sure yelled at his gu-gu! But Sun Ce will found a new dynasty after that.

I did some checking on Diaochan and she's supposed to be one of the Four Beauties of ancient China (the other three ladies are from different dynasties). I don't know the extent of her relationship with Lu Bu yet (but we can already see it is going to be rough!), but wiki says that although there were stories about her and Lu Bu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was no strong evidence to prove that she really existed in real life.

Gawd, I love your list! They're all different genres so people can try whichever drama that can get them out of slump.

Thank you for making me rethink of watching ISWAK and TKA. I recently 'discovered' Ariel Lin and I like how she acts. Honestly, 50 episodes seem ordinary to me nowadays and it's true, time flies when you're watching good dramas. :)

A couple of side-notes:
Mirai Nikki is one odd drama--like Twilight Zone creepy and weird. But it will make sense as it progresses to the end.

OB is a family drama though so for the peeps who don't like cranky old grannies and complicated family woes, not for you guys. But if that's nothing to you and you like connecting sub-plots, then OB has something to offer you if you look beyond the characters' facade.

The posters are even unimaginative! :P But they totally make it up with stellar acting. :) The feathers were apparently real so those rpg adaptations are accurate. I can't recall Yushin having those long feathers though?

It is~! Darn smooch said everything! XD
