Absolute Boyfriend (Taiwan) (2012) - being a fan of the manga version of this when I was still 15 years old I was really excited with the live version. When I finally get to see the live version, I’m very much happy that what your actually reading just came to life. I didn’t have a chance to see the Japanese version which is the original which is because I don’t watch Japanese dramas before (*I do now). I watch this drama because I know Jiro Wang (*from Hana Kimi Taiwan) & Ko Hyesun (*Boys Over Flowers). I really like Jiro Wang here, he really did great in portraying as a robot. I am now watching the Korean version of this and I have a hard time digesting the Korean version as of the moment (*haven’t finished) maybe because I already have a background having read the manga and having watched this. I didn’t like Ko Hyesun here, because it’s there’s too much aegyo going on but I like Jiro that’s why it keeps me going. They did great with only just 13 episodes. Pretty satisfied with this drama.

Hayate The Combat Butler (Taiwan) (2011) - I came to watch this because of Park Shin Hye basically. Of course I didn’t like the dubbed part, but I love the story of this and also the flow of the story. This is just a 13 episode drama which I like because mahuman rajud sya. I didn’t have previous knowledge, so I didn’t read the manga version and haven’t seen the anime version as well so I did think that it helped me be able to like the drama. Having no expectations with just the plot as a guide, it helped me love the drama. I like the chemistry between the main leads, and also the family part of the story which gina highlight kasagara sa Taiwanese drama is well portrayed.

it’s a Taiwanese drama with ella and jerry yan, so we were frantically happy with this. I came to love Ella because of hana kimi, and Jerry Yan is of course famous being Dao Ming Si for Meteor Garden. I remember gipasalida nis ABS sauna unya kilig kayo ko. Since di mangyud masubaybayan ang tagalog dubbed version, I downloaded and was able to watch it continuously without cuts. Both Ella & Jerry has delivered their roles effortlessly, and that’s why ni-stay jud kog tan-aw. Naa japun ang style sa Taiwanese na OA na acting, but I think that is their strength and I like that. I like this drama because ako memories watching this is that I’m laughing and smiling.

The reason because I watch this drama is because of the remake of the Korean version. We could really see the difference between the two dramas. Set by the year 2008, graphical effects isn’t that great compared to the Korean version. What I like though in this drama is that it has that comedic feels (*more likely slapstick comedy) that only Taiwanese drama could really portray. The love also of family is much greater seen in this drama. I like that I’ve seen this after the Korean version although mas tsada jud unta na first nako ni nakita. So far I have good memories while watching this so I’m quite grateful that I’ve seen this.

This drama is one of the significant dramas that I have watched. I was still a teenager back then when I first watched it in our local TV station but wasn’t able to see the full story so after many years I came to watch it again. Just like the first time I saw it I really like it. The girl is humorous and also the “the third wheel” guy of the story was really funny. But as time goes by, it’s like I was bored but I have finished it and I never thought it was the ending, As in I don’t know what expression I was while watching but I was expecting to see a different ending. The ending was not an ending for me but nevertheless I didn’t regret watching it again.

I fell in love with these two amazing actors—Jung Kyung-ho and Lee Jae-yoon—because of this drama. It’s truly one of the best I’ve watched over the years, and it fits my preferred genre perfectly. By the time I watched this, I was already hooked on crime, thriller, action, and noir K-dramas—but this one took my usual expectations and raised them to a whole new level. At first, it felt very dark, especially with the scenes being shown, and I found it a bit confusing. But that’s exactly what pulled me in from the start. This was one of those dramas I stayed up late for, the kind that makes your heart race as you watch. I didn’t even know which side to root for because both leads were so compelling in their own way. The world depicted here felt so real yet terrifying—a place you could believe exists, but would never want to enter. I also loved how it constantly kept me thinking. I would be so sure I knew what was going to happen, only to be proven wrong by another clever twist. The plot turns were smart, and every reveal kept me on edge. It’s a solid, well-crafted drama that I still recommend, even after all these years.

Reply 1997 (2012) - honestly, I only watched it because of Infinite’s Hoya but I didn’t regret watching it. It was one of the peculiar dramas I have seen. At first I didn’t really understand the whole situation in the drama but as I watched it per episode, I came to fully understand the situation. The story is a typical story but because it is ordinary it became extra ordinary and because of the series I came to appreciate kpop and friendship more. The last two episodes are just the best episodes and I really like how the story ends and how they put a thrilling part of it. I really like it.

Cheongdamdong Alice (2012) - I am so liking this drama. It was so romantically uplifting me and it is on top of my watched korean dramas list. At the time when I was watching this, I still have questions regarding the story because I don’t know much about Korean culture and stories in their country but I was really hooked with the drama. I really like the romance and comedy of the drama and I like each of the characters. This drama is a portrayal of like modern day Alice in Wonderland, Daddy Long Legs and Cinderella in one. I have grown my childhood with this stories and I think this is the reason why I liked this drama. Although “chaebol” is still apparent here, I liked that they portrayed it in a fun way even though there is a revenge part. I also like Park Si Hoo’s character development here, he is so cute! This drama is one of the dramas that I really like over the years.

Bride of the Century (2014) - this is one of my recommended dramas, I think it is good for beginners as well. What I like about this drama is that I don't know the female lead and I like her so much. Lee Hongki as the main male lead isn’t bad either. I think that since it revolves around romantic comedy, with fantasy genre and how they executed the romance, I was into it and I felt the chemistry of the leads. It has its own revelations that shooked my core, and I was not really expecting the twist at all, since I did not really have an expectation of the drama in the first place. I became attached as to how it would evolve. The drama turned out really well for me as a watcher, and I did rewatch this one maybe about 3 times. I’m happy with this drama.

Because This Is My First Life (2017) - Everybody knows how I like this drama, basically I posted lines of this drama before. This drama is my favorite Korean drama, period. I just love everything in this drama. The lines are awesome and hey I just love how the romance of the main characters developed. I like that there are basically 3 stories in one drama because it doesn’t focus on a romance of 1 couple but 3 couples with different situations. It’s just fun and heartwarming. I like that the script was well portrayed by the actors in a fun way. It was both an educational and hilarious drama for me. I kept repeating the scenes which I like in this drama, like my 6th time watching it today. Hahahaha. Favorite scene includes the conversation between Se Hee and Ji Ho’s mom before the wedding. I don’t think I could ever get enough of this drama. To more dramas like this!

Gentleman’s Dignity (2012) - what made this drama solid is the characters. What do you expect with veteran actors but the best, that is why I could really see the subpar acting skills of the young cast, but they are not bad. The characters are really good to the point where it was easy to get irritated, to laugh, cry along with them. Each and every actor brought their characters to life in style and color. The story is beautifully written, the pacing is great in the drama and how it unfolded, the characters are well written that I really respect that particular age group presented in the drama. The drama is well adjusted to it's romance, comedy as well as life in general that something seems relatable to them. The drama is easy to love. To more dramas like this.

I really liked this drama, no doubt. Since it was shown on our local television network GMA before, I was not into it because of the dubbing. I did watch this one after a year from the release date since I watched The Master's Sun first before this. Gong Hyojin really chose a role or character that suits her since her acting in this drama is great. This drama is quite the basic, especially if a beginner in the Korean drama world. This drama made me happy and excitement especially in the romance parts of the drama. Both the main leads are not your typical handsome beautiful pair but it does not matter for me since they are both so good in their respective roles. It was a total hit in Korean, which I think is pretty obvious since it's a great drama.
