So sorry I just saw this. Which type of drama do you like? There are a lot of daily dramas. The daily drama that I like:
1. Smile Dong Hae (the drama that make Ji Chang Wook popular)
2. Wife's Temptation (is still one of the most popular drama, and you can hear the ost everywhere)
3. Golden Pouch (i love the family and it's fun to watch them)
4. Shining Eun Soo (kinda retarded, but the main couple interaction is really good)
5. Heaven's Promise (same theme as wife's temptation, if you like revenge and taking another identity type of story)
6. You are my destiny (oldies, but I think one of those series that I truly like)

And there are others but I couldn't remember. Those 6 titles are the ones that I remember. Actually many renowned actors start from daily dramas

Do you also read the other 2 novels? Because it's about the trilogy of this series, but with the focus on Tong Nian and Gun's relationship. And we actually get ALL the scenes in the novel, just not the way we wanted it to be. And also to remind you: the screenwriter is the original novel author which is Mo Bao Fei Bao

Actually, it follows the timeline of the novel pretty well. There's added scene and there are some changes (in order to meet the standard television in China), but overall, I'm happy with the production. When I see the part that I recognize from the novel, it makes me happy

Did you know meteor shower had the first remake before BOF? I don't know where you got the notion that because of BOF every country started thinking of remaking it. The figure stated that the original manga is already very popular, one of the many mangas out there that surpased the millions mark selling, becoming best seller and reprinted in many countries. I just don't want you to make it as if BOF is the source while it's not. Have you ever read the manga before saying that?

I only pointed what you wrote in your articlr above. you said you hate those tropes and K-dramas are the one that use those tropes the most

Like I stated, I don't hate K-dramas. I probably watch more than you in my entire life. I love Signal and Tunnel, but how many K-dramas are actually have this kind of stunning cinematography, deep message, and good plot? Rarely

Saying I like NCIS more doesn't mean I like sex more. I'm Asian and had always been conservative so please refrain from cursing me using that words. And have you ever watched NCIS? I don't think so. If not then you wouldn't say that to me. NCIS after all, is a police procedural. It deals with corpses, not sex

I agree with you. My absolute favorite of K-drama are old dramas, like My Golden Bride which make me fell in love with weekenders. K-dramas nowadays simply lack that one feeling that make you hooked. I usually watch 16eps of drama in just 3 hours and still able to grasp what's actually happening

I wasn't going to comment but your last remark about BOF quite irked me. As someone who had fallen in love with Hana Yori Dango way before Meteor Garden started (yes, I read the manga in Japanese when it was first published), I have to say that out of all versions, BOF was the worst. It didn't value the original feeling of the manga and I was shocked because they make Tsukushi (Jan Di) so pitiful and so poor I have to grit my teeth in annoyance. Tsukushi's family might not be well off but she's not that poor either that make her has to work as a dry cleaner for rich people. That's why I said they butchered it off. And without Meteor Garden in the early 2000s, then Hana Yori Dango (the Japanese version) in 2005, I don't think your BOF would even see the light as it was out in 2008 and the first china remake was in 2006

And I could understand that you like K-drama, but how about not dissing others? I find it extremely sad that you have to state "K-drama is the best" when it's not. It sounds like you're contradicting yourself when you explained about all the genre that you don't like and it's actually K-drama that has them the most

I don't hate K-drama, I enjoy them from time to time, but I wouldn't say that they're the best. As you've said, they're full of "cliche" tropes. I'd rather watched NCIS every single day because at least I'm not bored to tears while watching it or I have to be forced to use that FF button to skip all the fillers before I get to the main point

I understand that this is your opinion and everyone is free to express them, but the way you write it make me feel ill, because it seems like you're dissing other dramas and simply want people to not contradict you because, hey, it's just an opinion

No problem. I honestly watched too much of them so I knew the slot by heart by now. I've watched weekender drama since the sensational My Golden Bride (I think it was around 2005). My first daily drama is Wife's Temptation (around 2007 I think)

There are many gems actually in daily drama and weekender, but too bad the long episodes sometimes make people get intimidated

Golden Pouch I think has a good plot and interesting characters. My recent favorite is Forever Enemy

My Father is Strange is a weekender, not a daily drama. Daily drama is usually 100+ episodes (around 28-33 minutes long) while weekender is the one airing on Saturday-Sunday slot (one episode is around 55 mins to 1 hour 10 minutes long)

It's from Sweet Enemy

I've watched a lot of daily dramas due to it being my mom's favorite. I guess the older people really like this type of stories. I've watched more than 100 daily dramas, from the cheesiest one to a decent one. The story plot is always the same, the female lead will be this hard working girl and she's actually a rich girl separated from birth. It's way to unrealistic. But it's actually fun to watch daily dramas if you forget that it's unrealistic and just enjoy it for the fun
