Interesting article! I'm not familiar with these dramas but bad boy roles are usually fun to watch. Bad guys like wol ryung in gu family book and zhi shu it started with a kiss are bad guy roles done right. Can I also just give a shoutout to sato hiroshi from gaksital hahaha love that drama, pretty sure I liked him better when he was pretending or before he found out the truth :D
Note on absolute boyfriend, at first I thought the drama would be light and funny then out of nowhere my heart is ripping apart towards the end of the drama especially the last episode. I watched zettai kareshi to make myself feel better hahha the love story wasn't as intense and the ending was different so it helped me :)
this article was like a trip down memory lane, I've seen 6 out of the 10 and it was enjoyable to rehear the great osts, nice article!
I didn't know Kim Min Jong could sing, he's really talented!!
I focused on him over all the leads in Athena too, I was hoping for a Kim Ki Soo spinoff XD
My thoughts exactly! I was so loving the drama and I still had hope but at some point it became unforgivable. Why did the writers change everything like that? Viewer unsatisfied. I also agree about When A Man Loves... um just why for that ending >___<
the food thing is so true. fictional drama characters are chronic food wasters!! Also whenever they choose food it has to be a drink :S
is no one ever in the mood for real food during a dramatic cafe scene?
What amourexdile said :)
I also couldn't find it but when I found out about the different name I added it in the description http://www.asiatorrents.me/index.php?page=torrents&options=0&search=steal+my+heart&active=0
why'd you skip I Hear Your Voice?
I think Gu Family Book and I Hear Your Voice are the best for me in the Korean sector, although I Hear Your Voice really isn't supernatural >.<
Park Shi Hoo's character made Cheongdamdong Alice! I pretty much couldn't stand the female lead from the beginning to the end.
Heirs had a great cast! I'd have liked to see more development of those characters rather than focusing on the lead guy and girl so much. I wanted to see more development of Choi Jin Hyuk and Kim Woo Bin's stories! :/
Choi Jin Hyuk is THE actor in 2013 ! He deserves so much! These roles in Gu Family Book and Heirs ...it's really…
they should have had a category where we could vote for Choi Jin Hyuk's role in Gu Family Book, I only continued that drama for his character!! They should've really developed his role in Heirs... his character didn't even make sense at times but there was real potential!
Ta Hwan and Nyang cannot end up together despite the very clear future introduction in the first episode. At least I don't want them to!! He cannot redeem himself for what he did!
I prefer Kdramas to J & Tdramas. I have yet to see a Chinese drama so I can't comment about that.
I see what you're saying about the kisses but actually if I compare Japanese and Taiwanese dramas to Korean ones I think about cinematography, osts, costume design/setting, then romance.
Cinematography- Now I haven't seen that many dramas but from the few I have seen I notice that Korean dramas have a cleaner and more polished feel to them with the camera shots.
OSTs- Jdramas tend to have a limited music range throughout a drama whereas Kdramas tend to have wide range that's used well to enhance the feeling of different scenes in a single drama.
Costume design/setting- In Korean dramas I noticed different characters can have completely unique looks befitting their roles all things inclusive, clothes, hair, makeup (especially eye-liner for when they go evil >.<) but sometimes I can't appreciate such meticulous care put into costume design in J & Tdramas. The same goes for setting. I can really notice this with remakes like Hana Kimi and Boys Over Flowers.
Romance- I agree with a lot of what was said about the romance. I've seen more K-dramas than J & Tdramas and the romance is developed well in Kdramaland. The physical interaction is important but I think the key is the build-up/follow through in cutsey/longing scenes, meaningful glances, gestures, and conversations about the beloved.
Lee Phillip in Secret Garden and Vaness Wu in Autumn's Concerto are the best I've heard throughout dramaland. Woo Bin's English is classic! I also thought the doctor & Kim Sam Soon's English/Korean conversations were a lot of fun! Sometimes it's more amusing when you have trouble understanding what they're trying to say >.<
