Started watching it and I've reached episode 3. It's actually not so bad; I really like how light-hearted it is and seeing Rainie in a devil character is very refreshing after watching Devil Beside You.
The one thing I keep thinking while watching is I wish Bao Chu would meet Ah Mon. I'd love to see that cross over xD

Ah, so am I :) Ha Ji Won is easily my favourite Korean actress. She was astounding in Hwang Jin Yi *.*

Hey there! I'm so glad to meet another historical drama lover :D
If you haven't seen them already, I'd definitely recommend my top three (Ja Myung Go, The Moon That Embraces The Sun, Hwang Jin Yi). I haven't watched that many dramas but notably Jang Ok Jung and Gu Family Book from this year were quite good as well. Sungkyunkwan Scandal was my first historical and it's what got me really interested in the historical drama department. Other than those I've mentioned, I haven't seen any others though I've been meaning to get to them. If you like Chinese dramas, there's Bu Bu Jing Xin which I've wanted to start a long time now but haven't been able too. I've heard of others like Jewel in the Palace and Dong Yi as good ones as well. Hope that helps :)
My top three would be:
1. Goo Yong Ha (I love this player boy as much as the drama itself)
2. Jeremy (Hong Gi is hands down the best Jeremy ever)
3. Manager Du (I was so glad to see him in this countdown! I really loved him in this drama -and his yellow corded phone- and I adore his counterpart Yashiro in the manga)
Boys Over Flowers was the only drama I watched on this list but I must say: I COMPLETELY AGREE.
To this day, despite getting quarreled with by fans of LMH, of Geum Jan Di/Gu Jun Pyo & of the manga, I still wholeheartedly believe that Jan Di & Ji Hoo belonged together. I dislike the Geum Jan Di character while steadfastly loving Ji Hoo's character (in the other versions of the story, I disliked Jan Di less but still loved Ji Hoo) & yet, I still wanted them to end up together. I knew it wasn't going to be so but it still frustrates me nonetheless. And while it would have bugged me if they had given him a love interest in the end, I was more disturbed that he was left on the sidelines watching her live her happily-ever-after (though I don't particularly see how with all their fighting) & still loving her.
BOF is just one of those dramas that makes me sad when I think about the ending.
HEIRS has one thing going for it for sure - a gorgeous cast. The plot, however, doesn't sound all that appealing but I'll probably still end up watching it anyway. Choi Jin Hyuk and Lee Min Ho as half-brothers? Yes, please!
Even though his acting skills aren't exactly top-notch, I know I'll definitely watch Age of Feelings just for Kim Hyun Joong. The plot doesn't sound all that bad either. There's no way I'm giving up seeing my oppa's face regularly though :D
Hwatu sounds really great - the one I'm most excited about on this list. Ha Ji Won is my favourite K-actress and she's too awesome to pass up. Plus, it's a historical drama. The newer ones these days have been sorely lacking for me so crossing my fingers that this one is good!
I love this article so much - dramas with Choi Jin Hyuk, then Kim Hyun Joong, then Ha Ji Won. It's like Christmas came early :3 Thank you so much!
I'm watching Fabulous Boys and I absolutely adore this man! He looks really familiar though. I feel like I've seen him before. Wow, I didn't know he was so young. Finally, I like someone closer to my age :D Oppa, you're awesome :-)
Now started and I've reached episode 3! I'm really loving it so far. As much as I loved the Korean version and liked the Japanese one, this one is really awesome. For once, all the characters seem balanced. Plus can I mention Jiro Wang? This is my first time seeing him and wow! He's gorgeous evidently but his talent is off the charts! He's got the Hwang Tae Kyung vibe down cold! Also, this version gives a lot more depth to Shin Woo's character in Xin Yu. Jeremy's as adorable as ever (I'll judge when I reach the bus scene though). So far - it's amazing :D Definitely recommend it for any die-hard You're Beautiful/Ikemen Desu Ne fans.
So from this list, I ADORE Yeo-rim & Geol-oh. And I loved the fact that they won a couple award for their characters' bromance xD
I'd add Won Il & Seung Ji from Panda & Hedgehog. They started out as somewhat enemies and their relationship blossomed into a beautiful bromance that I personally loved :D
I finished this drama in the wee hours of this morning & I'll never understand how it wasn't as recognized as some others. I can't stop thinking about it! It's so utterly amazing! The characters burrow themselves into your hearts even when you swear? that some of the things they do end them up on your shit list for life (especially Ho Dong! The numerous times I went through shifting between love & hate for him!). Anyone wondering whether or not to watch this drama should still try it. 39 episodes is the longest for me and yet, I regret nothing. The back story took a bit long but you don't feel the time pass. It's just so fantastic! Congrats to everyone who worked on this drama; it was a beautiful experience to watch it.
