I love the soundtrack for ????? ??. It's so sweet (: I sometimes start to think that whatever drama I am watching is becoming my favorite, but if I listen to the soundtrack of ????? ?? or ??? ???, I start to remember all of the feelings I had while watching them. I think fantasy dramas always have the best OSTs.

Well, I wanted to point out that it's Kim Joo Won not Kim Jae Won in Secret Garden haha. And also, I think that there are actually a lot of good T-drama kisses, especially in Devil Beside You. Mike He is amazing! On the other hand, certain K-dramas have also had some pretty awkward kisses. I think your last statement is the best when you said it's the chemistry between the actors and the setting that can really make a kiss good or bad.

I agree with you regarding Hong Se Na a little bit. But I liked Park Ha and Lee Gak together. And I had a feeling that the one who died was Boo Young the whole time. But I feel like in both times, Se Na and Hwa Yong were both treated really unfairly as children, which led to the way they ended up. So I felt bad for her, but not to the extent that I wanted her to end up with the lead. Just that she deserved better than what she got.

Yeah, that was one of the things that I loved about Hana Yori Dango as a manga. I mean, as scary as some of that stuff was, the things that happened in the manga it self were (at least, in my opinion), pretty realistic for a manga. I could see a lot of that stuff actually happening. Sometimes not to the extent that it was taken, but still. And Hana Yori Dango was really the manga that started the whole wave of mangas like it, so it will always be my favorite.

I agree. I think product placement can be very smart when it's done well. To me, one of the most obvious Samsung placements was in Playful Kiss because the phones were flip phones instead of smart phones, and each of the characters had the same phone but in a different color. I think because of how colorful the phones were, it really stood out to me.

Another example is in Full House when Han Ji Eun's "friends" send her to China and sell her house/steal all of her money while she's gone. I know that has to be illegal.

Yeah, it's funny how some of the craziest, most illegal stuff is actually the stuff taken from the manga, not just created for the dramas. At the part where Sanjou Sakurako/Oh Min-Ji frames Makino Tsukushi/Geum Jan-Di of cheating and the school goes crazy beating her up, it's all pretty close in both dramas. In the manga, they also tied her to a car and started dragging her around school. Now that is DEFINITELY illegal!

Totally agree about Kim Soo Hyun. His cry always makes me want to cry with him. The first thing I saw him in was Dream High, and he was so beautiful in that.

I agree, but I definitely think out of The King 2 Hearts actors, Jo Jung Suk made everyone cry more. Close to the end, I was bawling my eyes out over him.

I love Hurt by Ali and also After a Long Time Has Passed by Baek Ji Young from Rooftop Prince. Fox Rain by Lee Sun Hee from My Girlfriend is a Gumiho OST, Love is Crying by K. Will and Missing You Like Crazy by Taeyeon from The King 2 Hearts OST, What Should I Do by Ji Sun from Boys Before Flowers OST,and I feel like pretty much all of the songs from Dream High OST are amazing (especially Dream High, Dreaming, and Maybe). Also for non-Korean ones, I love Ai Mei by Rainie Yang from Devil Beside You OST; and Planetarium by Ai Otsuka, Flavor of Life by Hikaru Utada, and pretty much all of the instrumental music (especially the main themes and New York no Kiseki) from Hana Yori Dango 1 and 2 OST. Haha sorry this list is so long, but the soundtracks are one of the best parts of dramas imo. :)

Fox Rain is one of my absolute favs!

Wow, I really never noticed that much before. There is also a bathroom scene in The King 2 Hearts when the guys from South Korea and America get in a fight during the WOC.
