Thanks for sharing your experience in South Korea! Interesting stuff.

Always, starring So Ji Sub and Han Hyo Joo. A simple but really compelling story about two broken people finding each other and falling in love. Sizzling chemistry too.

And the ever popular A Moment to Remember, starring Jung Woo Sung and Son Ye Jin. I probably don't need to add much to this.

Has anyone noticed the name of the female lead sounds like the English word "origin"? Imagine all the puns..

Agree with both your points. I hate cartoon or paper villains the most - they're a way for writers to be lazy. The writer of I Hear Your Voice at least bothered to paint a back story for us.

Also, Gi Cheol provided much humour in Faith.

I only knew that it was the director's first project ever. Didn't know it was a thesis project from film school! Very impressive storytelling.

Anyone else think the actor playing Junho was cast and styled to look like a young Won Bin?

The subs for this link are terrible

I agree about the length of the show and how draggy it became, especially in the second half! So many scenes that were unnecessarily long such that they eventually became uninteresting. I feel that this love triangle is much less predictable than the one in 1997 and so I really enjoyed that aspect.

I laughed at "blind master player Jesus". Jesus in a Korean movie? Is this Korean Jesus who was busy with Korean stuff in 22 Jump Street? LOL.

Cruel City started off so well, but I guess the writers didn't estimate well enough how much story they had to fill the number of episodes they were given. The show's strength lies in the characters.

Nah all the negative comments will be drowned out by many irrationally supportive SONEs.

This is a great feature! Encouraging legal consumption of Korean dramas. But it would be good to add a note on whether these legal sources are available outside the US.

Came here to see if someone suggested Goodbye Day already. Heartwrenching song.

The part about leaving their food and drinks untouched just irks me to the core! Don't waste food people!

I was disappointed that the writer didn't mention what is going on with him right now. It seems like he's been inactive on the T-drama scene for a long time now.

Well look, we all knew this was coming, it was just a matter of 'when'. I don't think the Korean public appreciates celebs getting special attention when they enlist, when civilian men themselves enlist with no fanfare. Celebs shouldn't receive such special treatment.

What an awesome and accurate list. Actually I agree with Yoon Eun Hye's inclusion in the article, but her choices of dramas have just been really poor and the recent ones have all bombed - My Fair Lady, Lie To Me (terrible show I gave up on it), Mirae's Choice.

I am a little surprised not to see Han Soo Min from Cruel/Heartless City. I thought she really took control of her fate in that show.

In Scent of A Woman her character started off pretty strong, but I got really frustrated with her towards the end because of her stubbornness. That is not being a "strong" woman to me. I don't want to elaborate more otherwise it will become spoiler-y.

Please don't watch dramas continuously until you actually fall sick, due to lack of sufficient hydration or sleep. It has happened to me a few times already.
Otherwise, to take a break, I actually watch some English shows, just to switch up between different drama styles.
