Korean for Beginners! I want to start learning Korean.so much~.. :)

And here I thought I would read about the immortal 'Almost Paradise' from Korean BoF, but it turned out that it's only about Japanese dramas :) But I think it's a nice idea to recommend some songs, personally I like the whole OST from LIAR GAME, but since there were no vocals there, it doesn't count as songs.

Agreed. I'm also a huge fan of the Japanese version and although I wish I couldn't, I always end up comparing the two versions. Nao and Akiyama were such good leads, but here I feel that both Da Jung and Woo Jin are lacking something. I would even say that I'm more interested in the character played by Shing Sung Rok now. And this version does not have such gorgeous sountrack as the Japanese one :(

I loved the drama, it was really a crazy emotional roallercoaster for me. Lee Bo Young did great portraying the desperate mother trying to save her child no matter what. The script wasn't perfect but the whole drama was wonderful with all its actors, camerawork and soundtrack. I loved the suspensive endings of the episodes, often with beautiful wide-angled/panoramic views. I didn't really mind the open ending, although I wish Dong-Chan was alive. Truly, a wonderful drama.

Yeah, the same goes for me. I usually watch more rom-coms although I really like good thrillers and action dramas. If you come across something interesting or you already watched something you really liked, be sure to let me know, I'm always open to new recommendations :))
As for Scandal, I'm putting it on my list ^^ I am also kinda afraid of 36 eps because even till this day I haven't completed my first (and only) 50-ep drama The Best Lee Soon Shin. I think I'll finally finish it, but I have no idea when :D

I haven't finished Cunning Single Lady yet, but I'm on ep 15 :) Btw, the second lead lady gets on my nerves ;p I know that she's been through a lot but does she really think she would be happy with a guy who loves somebody else? Anyway, I hope for a happy ending for all the characters, including her :)
There is a mystery drama that is my all-time favourite Kdrama - Nine Times Time Travel. It's a mixure of mistery, thriller, romance and fantasy and on top of that splendidly done. It involves time-travel motif and is full of twists so you'll never know what will happen next :) I haven't watched many mystery dramas, I can recommend but this one without any hesitation ^.^
I've noticed you're wathcing Scandal: A Shocking And Wrongful Incident how do you like it? I thought of putting in on my PTW list some time ago but I'm not sure if it's good. The female lead also played in Nine so I'm curious how well she did in this one :D

A very interesting topic and article indeed :) I'm glad I'm not the only one who truly liked the formation of Han Jae Hee (Nice Guy) character - while everybody was immencely affected by the main couple's ups and downs, I became interested in Han Jae Hee's reason for her evil deeds. It was interesting to see how her past influenced her greed for money and status to the point she was ready to do almost everything for it. In fact, she was a victim too and living in a cruel world she became cruel herself. It's a shame most of the drama villains are one-dimensional and lack some background that would make them more relatable. I liked very much the character of Park Kang Jae (Beyond the Clouds), of course he wasn't the villain of the series but the story made him a little bit like that. On the contrary, a typical drama lead always has to be innocent and righteous, his motor of actions can only be revenge, never greed. But the human nature is much more complex and I'd love to see a lead who experiences doubts and sometimes makes mistakes.

Now that I think of it, both Two Weeks and God's Gift have some similarities - a parent wanting to save the child and the time limit 14 days ^.^ But if you like mysteries that are being slowly unravelled then I would say God's Gift is a better choice. In my opinion it's more complex and has much more thrilling twists to the story than Two Weeks. And it really gives you an emotional roller coaster so you won't ever be bored :) But anyway, the dramas are good and if you find some spare time you should watch them both. If you complete any of this tell me how you liked it :)

Exactly my thoughts! In Good Doctor he was so self-controlled and serious but here he even does ridiculous things out of jealousy :D The leading actress also surprised me - I only knew her from Boys over Flowers and at that time I didn't really pay attention to her. And the second male lead is so cute~ But I feel like his falling for the heroine was too quick. It's sad that there are only 2 eps left, but on the other hand the story shouldn't be dragged too much..

I'm keeping an eye on Angel' s Eyes. Tell me if you like it when the drama gains its pace :) Today I started God's Gift 14 Days and it's really splendid if you're looking for a thriller that will involve you emotionally. I'm also watching Cunning Single Lady just as you :) How do you like it? I really enjoyed the first 10 episodes, but lately it became less entertaining. But anyway, I like the main pairing with Cha Jung Woo - he can be really funny sometimes :)

I remember starting My Girl a few months ago but somehow I gave up after 5 minutes. Now that I think about it, I didn't even get the glimpse of the drama so I'll give it a try someday. Haha, I already had similar experience with Que Sera Sera, which I started two times but in the end I was glad I watched it.
But anyway, I'm already watching God's Gift, and wow, the drama is so intense! Lee Bo Young is excellent as well as the rest of the cast. Really, it's very addictive and emotion-evoking, it's been a long time since I watched a drama like this.

Hey~ Thanks for the friend request and nice to meet you! :) Are you watching anything interesting right now?

Yeah, the waiting is killing me too. But my crave for airing dramas is sometimes too great to resist -.- And then I usually end up waiting anxiously for the next episode and sometimes I think it would be better if I'd just dramathoned it after completion >.<

There are a lot of dramas I haven't heard about on your list. Can you recommend me something? :)

Yes! The main lead travels back in time in order to (I don't think it is a spoiler) learn the truth about his father's murder and prevent the killing from happening. Each episode of the drama was unpredictable and it was really interesting to see how each time travel changed the future and affected the curse of events. Really, the drama was splendid and I'm even planning to rewatch it sometime soon.
I think I'll start God's Gift really soon too :) I've finished a couple of dramas so I can now take on some new :D
Oh, and yesterday I came across Gap Dong - a crime drama, which started airing last week. It's too soon to tell, but the first comments are encouraging and I like the posters too... I think I'll give it a try :)

God's Gift has been on my radar since it started airing! I think I'll watch it soon, I've waited way too long :) I love the time travel motif and judging by your rating I won't be disappointed in that drama :) These days I'm watching more rom-coms but today I've finished Beyond the Clouds. It was promising at the beginning and overall I would recommend it for its splendid cast. But I must say the story became less engaging in the second half of the drama :/

Have you seen Nine Times Time Travel? It's one of my favourite dramas and the main character also travels back in time to save his relative.

Yeah, I started Cunning and Single Again and I like it very much, although I don't know if I won't get bored at some point - the plot is very predictable. But Joo Sang Wook totally surprised me with his role :D I only knew him from Good Doctor, where he was serious and strict all the time, but here he even does funny things and acts recklessly from time to time :)
I know it's still too early but I wanted to ask you about Angel Eyes. Did you like the first two episodes? How is JanDi's acting? I'm thinking of starting it soon, but maybe I'll wait for the first opinions :)

Hey, thanks for the friend request :) I see you've watched a whole lot of dramas! Are you watching anything interesting these days?

I've completed You're Beautiful and you were right, Jeremy wasn't as fortunate as I thought :( His song was very touching and I felt for him too. But it was really strange seeing "the real" Mi Nam - he was MUTE and had a weird gaze... I wonder if he's ever spoken to his bandmates :/ Nevertheless, I liked the final episode and the whole drama. Tae Kyung was so cool~ :)
