Is it just me or do ALL Asian actors have beautiful smiles? It's the first thing I noticed on entering into the drama world. One grin and I'm lost. I really can't choose because it would have to encompass them all. Based on my current obsessions, my top three best smiles would be Choi Jin Hyuk, Kim Hyun Joong, and Song Joong Ki!
You have no idea how hard it was for me to pick those three. But honestly, their smiles all are just so beautiful.
I've dropped since I saw Choi Suk Bin. Nothing against the actress but the character I detest mainly because she's a threat to the love between Ok Jung and Lee Soon that they built from episode 1. I don't want to see everything go downhill. I wish Ok Jung had taken Dongpyung's offer and gone to China with him.
Second male leads like #2 KILL me. Like they have me literally raging at the world for its injustice (*cough* Ji-hoo). In Shin-woo's case, not that much because there's so much that he did wrong. To be honest, I don't understand how a lot of the first male leads keep getting the girl. ESPECIALLY Baek Seung Jo in Playful Kiss. Granted he's a beauty like Kim Hyun Joong playing him but how on Earth does a girl keep chasing after a guy like that? It's the first drama I watched and I liked it but I don't get Oh Ha Ni. Not at all. I don't understand Geum Jan Di either though I did like Jun-pyo (but I think that's because Lee Min Ho is cute). I don't think there's been a drama where I've seriously whole-heartedly approved of the main pairing even if I did approve of the first male lead. Maybe I just need to watch some more dramas. So far, I've had a lot of second male lead syndrome cases.
I've been wondering about this drama for a very long time since one of the blogs I was following for recaps of Jang Ok Jung mentioned it. It sounds good but I've never watched a drama like this before and I don't want to start it only to drop it because it's happened to me a lot of times before.
A whole article dedicated to kissing? COOL!
This is one of the first things I realized on watching the different types of dramas. I've noticed the T-dramas are A LOT better with kissing scenes than the other two. As mentioned, Devil Beside You is FULL of kissing scenes that actually look real.
Though, we shouldn't use this classification of T-dramas as a whole, considering Extravagant Challenge/Skip Beat which was a Taiwanese drama where that one stingy kiss we got was a lip press -sadly. Then again, the actor doing the lip pressing was Korean so I'm not sure if this is a valid argument.
Anyway, while K-drama kisses are definitely lacking in passion with a few exceptions (which seem to involve Yoon Eun Hye like in Coffee Prince and Lie To Me), the circumstances of the kisses are usually romantic and despite the passion missing, it makes me squeal anyway (Playful Kiss honeymoon kiss!)
A drama-maker or producer or whatever you call them needs to see this list ASAP. And if they could get the actors you mentioned, they will have a guaranteed hit on their hands. I honestly am just waiting for the day I can watch a Vampire Knight or Kaichou Wa Maid Sama or Special A drama. Please, drama gods, smile down on us!
My first drama - I started the anime and then somehow ended up on the Korean drama. By the last episode, I was dazed. Though I realize this drama wasn't one of the best, it's what got me started in the drama world and it introduced me to the man who went on to become my #1 bias of all time even if that happened a bit later.
My advice? Try it. You may want to slap the heck out of Oh Ha Ni and shake some sense into Baek Seung Jo but by the last episode, it's so cute it almost feels worth all the hair pulling you did in the first few episodes.
And Lord knows Park Shin Hye is the master of the Open-eyed Lip Press!
xD
I love this article because it's so true. And yet, I love this cheesiness and I do squeal in delight if the dramas ever deviate and go one step further and actually let them sleep together (like in Coffee Prince!)
Completely understand the Rooftop Prince one. The mysterious death of the Crown Princess was the central plot...and then it WASN'T the Crown Princess who died?! It was her sister who was secretly in love with her husband after all this time?!
WHAT.
This is one of those light-hearted and cute dramas you have no clue why you watch but it's so fun I can't give it up. Strangely enough, I love Jin the most out of all of them and Alex the least. Not sure why; he just seems a bit flat to me. I love Kei's character though. And after Friday's episode I'm really looking forward to the next one :D
