Hahaha I love to marathon dramas too. :D When I start on-going dramas I either get bored (and sometimes end up dropping it) or I become frustrated. Plus that even if I love the drama, waiting for it takes away some of the pleasure. The boring episodes becomes so much more draggy and mighty then. When I marathon a drama it doesn't matter if a few episodes are boring, because I'll come to the fun or exciting parts in the same day. xD

Haha well, I don't have that many recommendations yet, because I'm new to watching old dramas and movies too, but I'll tell you when I've managed to watch some more. :) I count 2005 and before as old, because other people do. Most of the new drama-addicts don't watch them because they're "old". xD

Awesome! Yes, I'm Swedish, haha! :D
I'm 22 years old (1992). So I'm only like 3 years older than you or something. :)

You're welcome! :)
I love Revenge stories too! I also love all types of revenge, both in movies and in dramas. Do you've any recommendations? :D

I wasn't shocked either, but it was not the ending I wanted, haha! I loved it though. Han Kang (Jo Hyun-jae) was awesome. One of my favorite male leads out there, hahaha! He's so gorgeous.

Hahaha I feel the same. I just love historical dramas, but I always get so tired after watching one. xD It takes so much energy, I don't understand why though, haha. I want to watch the longer ones too, they seem so much better, but it takes so much time.

Ahh okay, I think I'll watch Empress Ki and then Jewel in the Palace, but I'm not sure yet. I might need a little break after King's Daughter Soo Baek Hyang. I'll look up the other dramas later.

I will not watch Moon Embracing the Sun though, I've tried watching it before, but it just didn't do it for me. xD I don't know why, hahaha.

Omg.. Soo Baek Hyang is awesome! One of the best dramas I've watched so far (I'm on episode 75). What do you think about it? :D

You're welcome! :D
How and when did you start to watch dramas?

Btw, I think it's awesome that you're studying korean! How is it going? :)

I haven't really watched a japanese classic yet. :D I'll start with some of his movies then. Thank you for the help!

I don't know. I might need some funny or lighthearted movies to begin with, because I'm not used to watching old movies yet. The oldest movie I've watched is A Chinese Ghost Story from 1987 and it's really funny, haha!

I watch all kind of genres though, so it doesn't matter that much. :)

Hahaha really? xD
I think it's harder now, but I might be wrong, haha!

You're welcome! :D

Yes, I try to broaden my horizons as much as possible. :) I always try to watch different genres from different countries, even though I often fall back to korean dramas and historical / romantic comedies / family / thriller / crime. xD Now I'm trying to watch longer dramas with over 50+ or 100+ episodes and older movies from 1930-1999. :) What's your favorite genres?

Haha okay, I don't know if I should watch it or not. xD Now I became even more confused, haha! :D

You're welcome! :D
I love Asian movies, but "they just aren't put together like an American movie - so I can't really watch them - feels like a chopped up drama" was spot on. I feel like most movies are like that. It's hard to find good and well-written movies, but when I do I love them to bits haha! :)

You're welcome! :)
I see that you watch a lot of historical dramas, do you have any recommendations?

I've watched: The Princess' Man, Iljimae, Princess Pearl, Startling By Each Step, Tamra The Island, Hong Gil Dong, Gumiho: Tale of the Fox's Child, The Young Warriors and Hong Gil Dong.

Right now I'm watching King's Daughter Soo Baek Hyang.

Thank you! :D
I love your movie list! Do you've any recommendations? I want to watch more (old) movie classics, but I don't know where to start. :)

Hellu!! :D
Yeah, it's great! xD It makes me broaden my horizons more. I never watched a drama with over 50+ episodes before,
then I made a challenge to watch a drama with over 100+ episodes. Now I don't care about the episode count when I choose dramas.

Hahaha I still want to be like Mulan, like seriously. Earlier today I listened to I'll Make a Man Out of You and thought "I have to be strong-minded... like Mulan", hahaha! xD + that I want to learn how to fight a la martial arts style.

Where did you watch Love Scar? :O

You're welcome! :D

I feel the same. Most people started their drama addiction in 2008 or later.. most common is 2011 I think, haha! I feel like most of them miss out on a lot of great drama classics. :)

I think my interest for Asia started in 2003 (with chinese music and movies), I didn't find dramas until 2005 I think. It was so hard to find dramas at the time, haha! xD I watched everything on youtube.

Haha it's fun with challenges when you feel like it :D It started with me watching a drama with over 100+ episodes. I never thought that I would make it, haha! So I made it a challenge, after that I continued making challenges.

I like to broaden my horizons, so I always try to watch a lot of different stuff. Old/new movies and dramas, different genres and from different countries. :)

Nice to meet you too! :D

I haven't watched it, but I remember that it was very popular when it aired. :) Tell me what you thought about it when you've completed it. :D

So many people were disappointed with the ending and I guess I was too, but it's still one of the best. I just love it to pieces. It's the only drama I've bought on DVD so far. I want to buy Smile You and Startling By Each Step too, but I can't find them. :/

You're welcome! :D
I love your profile, so I just had to send a friend request, haha! I'm a hardcore LOTR fan too!

You're welcome! :)
I like your favorite actors list! So Ji Sub and Joo Won are great. Hyun Bin too, haha! He's so cute. xD

Wow! I love all dramas on your favorite dramas list! xD
Orange Days, 1 Litre of Tears and Last Friends are a few of my favorite japanese dramas. They're amazing!

You're welcome! :D Thank you so much!
Btw, I saw that you've watched Jumong. Is it good? I want to watch more historical dramas. :)

You're welcome! :D
Well I started to watch dramas 7-8 years ago, so my list is not that long compared to others. xD I seriously don't get how everyone manage to watch so many dramas. Those people who started to watch dramas 2011-2012 and have watched about 200 of them. It's crazy, haha! :)
