Ah, I just watched the last episode of School 2013. You know, i'm quite sad to see it go. How they finished Jung Ho's storyline was so surprising though. I was kind of expecting it to just end well for him, as unrealistic as it would have been. But it's good that they went for realism instead. The apology scene with Ji Hoon and Young Woo was utterly adorable. I like the path the bullies went on over the series, to actually end up apologising to the people they bullied, and it didn't seem that rushed with them either. The bit at the end with Jung Ho needing to earn money for his dad seemed rushed, or like, they'd accidentally cut a scene or something, but that was the only bit that i was like "wait, where did that come from?"

Yeah, i'll watch a variety show too, if i'm a bit bored with or just don't feel like watching a drama. Running Man will always put a smile on my face.

I really liked Greatest Love, i think it's worth watching. It has the usual silly flaws that k-dramas have. Like, it's not perfect. But it's funny and sweet and has a decent ending. And it's only 16 episodes, which I always think is a good thing.
I haven't seen Iris. I don't know much about it, but i was worried it would be all action/suspense and no romance or humour, so I never added it to my Must Watch list. Is it like City Hunter? Like, in the way that the romance is there but doesn't dominate?

I always have second lead syndrome, lol. Well, i always want the main couple to end up together, in general, but i just always feel so bad for the second leads. In Greatest Love, on my god did my heart scream for Pil Joo!

I don't really know what to say about this movie. It's terrible. I was laughing out loud at some scenes that weren't meant to be funny. In fact, at the beginning, i wasn't sure if they were supposed to be funny or not, i seriously couldn't tell. I figured out that no, they were just badly acted and written... But i'm oddly curious to watch the next one and see if it's just as bad. The previous comments suggests it's a bit better...

Flower Boy Next Door. I'm loving Jin Rak at the moment. In episode 2 or 3, he made a comment about seeing Dok Mi first, and he said it in such a dark way that i actually got concerned for a second that he'd end up being a bit of a bad guy. But i guess it's not really that kind of show so i shouldn't have been worried. He's absolutely adorable, while being utterly clueless and a total dork. But i love him. I'm still on Enrique's ship at the moment, but if Jin Rak stays this awesome, i'm gonna be switching soon, lol

The line in your article that you quoted from someone else, about Hana Yori Dango being heroin. That is the absolute best line to describe my descent into asian drama and music madness. Utterly spot on, so thanks for that. It's so funny how we're all so alike in how we got into dramas. You see the same shows crop up over and over again. HYD, Hana Kimi (Japanese), You're Beautiful. They were my first dramas too :-)

I'm gonna repeat what Dee2TheJae said below me, lol. Your I Miss You review was pretty spot on. I gave it a 6 as well, and by the end of it, i had fully decided that I was not a melodrama girl. I already knew that, but it was this, coupled with Nice Guy and the ridiculousness of Moon/Sun, that i just thought "I have to stop watching these kind of shows!", lol. The only thing i slightly disagreed with was that Su Yeon was boring. I thought it was mostly in character, that she wouldn't be as headstrong as she used to be, after everything she'd been through. And she could be when she needed to be.

What did you think of the ending? I was glad to see the kids back. It was a sweet ending, but not so sappy that I was cringing the whole episode.

Love your display pic :-P

I know. so stupid! Lol, that's one of those things where you just have to go "it's not logical and makes no sense but ok then...".

The pair from Full House, i totally agree with. But also, the main girl in Full House was annoying because she kept letting them back in. She stayed friends with them the whole time! Now that was freaking annoying!

I can't watch this, i don't want to deliberately watch something that I know is going to make me cry, lol. Koizora was bad enough, and 1 Litre of Tears has gotta be way worse than that.

I know! I so wish it was a drama, that would be extra awesome! There's such a range of ages between the boys, it's gonna be weird seeing them all together. Like, what kind of group has a 27 year old, a 24 year old, and a 20 year old? lol. I wonder how long it'll be after the movie's release that we actually get ENG subs online. I've been waiting for the OHSHC movie since last March...

Yeah, i was a bit worried about Park Shin Hye because i was expecting her to be over the top like she can be, but she's actually quite toned down in this, thank god. No stupid facial expressions. And i've never seen Yoon Si Yoon in anything either, but i think i'm becoming a fan. He has a smile that actually looks quite natural, and it makes you smile back.

I'm really looking forward to the movie he's in with Kim Soo Hyun and Park Ki Woong. With that cast, it has to be good! Well, i hope it's as good as I want it to be, anyway.

Hey, you've watched the first couple eps of Flower Boy Next Door. What do you think? I think the creators of the Flower Boy series are doing a great job by making them all completely different but equally enjoyable. I mean, not that you can say much with only 2 eps, lol, but it's not as funny as Ramyun Shop and not as dramatic as Shut Up so it's weirdly in-between.. But it has a lot of cute.

Hey, what are your thoughts on To The Beautiful You? Does your love for Lee Hyun Woo overshadow the utter drivel that is the show?

Yeah, Yamamoto Yusuke did a great job with Tamaki. Kyouya is odd in the live action because he'll make a comment that suggests he likes Haruhi, but then he's totally pushing for Tamaki/Haruhi, so it's interesting. Actually, what I find funny about the whole cast is that the girl playing Haruhi is 16, and the guys are all in their mid 20's, lol. Just a bit weird.

I can totally see the Hyun Min similarities. Siwon did such an awesome job in that role, I wish it had rated better. I think one of the reasons why CA isn't as good anymore is because Park Shi Hoo has toned down the craziness. I mean, it can't keep being cute and funny forever, so now we're in the melodramatic half, but i miss the cute and sweet bits.

Padam Padam is on my Must Watch list but i never seem to get the time to watch it. Apparently it's really good, the girls on Dramabeans liked it, and said it was underrated. I was going to watch it when it first aired but then i think i was just watching too many other shows at the time, lol

Hey, you have Hana Yori Dango 2 as a score of 0 in your list. Is that deliberate, or a mistake?
