Hi Edinaa, thanks so much for your lovely New Year's e-card, I also want to wish you a very happy and delightful 2014, may it bring you all the things that you wish for. Yes I knew that you prefer to download but I was suggesting streaming only as a last choice if it is not possible to download Cruel City in any way. Yes I do keep an eye on your Drama List as it can give me ideas on which dramas to watch next. Today I finished Reply 1994 and rated it 9 (although for me it should have been 9.5) as it was absolutely fantastic. In the evening I am watching When it's at Night and enjoying it so far. Take care and have a nice evening.

Originally I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this drama as I had liked Reply 1997 very much and I was afraid that this one would not have been as good. On the contrary I was amazed at how good this drama was and I liked it even better than the previous one. Ratings don't allow half points but this is a 9.5 for me. What I absolutely loved here was the family/friendship atmosphere...everything felt so warm and natural that I never thought I was watching a drama but rather the real life of a family running a boarding house. All the side characters were fantastic and I hope to see them in other dramas in the future (especially the parents!). What I liked less was the focus on the love triangle and the fact that from the beginning we were led to try guessing who would be the future husband. Towards the end this part dragged a little and it became less funny.On the whole...deabak!!

Palak I totally agree with your review, I still have to watch the last three episodes but I loved this drama so much. Every word you wrote matches with my opinions too.

Hi Edinaa, it is good that we have the same method to choose a drama. I am glad you managed to download quite a few dramas and I hope you will enjoy them. If you don't manage to download Cruel City how about watching it in streaming? I hope you do get to watch it eventually as it is a truly great drama. I am fine thanks and I hope the same with you. Take lots of care.

Hi Edinaa, yes as I thought you are watching the 2007 Jdrama. No I haven't watched Itazura na Kiss although I can see that many people enjoyed it. I don't usually watch dramas set in high schools (which is also why I dropped The Heirs). I usually choose dramas by genre, meaning that it depends on if I feel like watching a romcom, a saeguk, a melodrama, a medical or a detective drama. I also choose according to actors that I like and of course I also read reviews and ratings as I don't generally watch anything that has bad reviews or low ratings unless it is recommended by someone else. Right now I felt like watching a good romcom and When it's at Night also has famous actors like Kim Sun Ah and Lee Dong Gun.

Good morning Edinaa, no I haven't seen First Kiss, do you mean the 2007 Jdrama or Itazura Na Kiss of this year? In any case I haven't seen either nor My Love Patzzi. I hope you enjoy them. I liked the Equator Man and rated it 8. It was a sad story but very nice and well acted and I was happy with the ending too. Since last night I started watching When It's at Night of 2008 and I enjoyed the first two episodes. Have a nice Sunday. Take care.

Hi Edinaa, well of this year I also enjoyed Hanzawa Naoki and Doctor X 2 is also pretty good. However I have to say that since the 2011 tsunami I noticed a downfall in the quality and variety of Jdramas as they focus mainly on detective stories. Of the past years my favourites are Jin and Jin 2 and also Nankyoku Tairiku...in any case it is a good idea to look at my list and choose the ones rated 9 and 10 which means that for me they were of very high quality and the story was very good. Happy Jdrama watching!

Hi Arashi, thanks so much for your reply. I will certainly add The Chaser to my list of dramas to be watched. Thanks so much for your reply, indeed I thought it should be good as if I am now wrong it also won some awards last year.

Well I finished another great melo. I admit it was emotionally tiring and at times stressful to watch the whole path of revenge of the main lead, mostly because the villains were quite arrogant and insisting on their misbehaviours. I was pleasantly surprised by the great acting of Lee Joon Hyuk who played a very convincing and heartfelt role (although I preferred him in his good role in City Hunter) as well as Uhm Tae Woong. I recommend to watch this drama when emotionally ready to go through quite a lot of makjang.

Good morning Edinaa, yes all three were good quality dramas and I recommend them. I thought that 2013 Jdramas were slightly better than the 2012 ones and my favourite was Tonbi. I finished The Equator Man and enjoyed it and I am not sure what drama I will start watching from this evening. I will let you know when I decide. Have a nice day and take care.

Hi Edinaa, thankfully today the bad weather stopped and we had sunshine and a good temperature too. I am really enjoying Man who came from the Stars, whereas I am finding so and so the Prime Minister drama but I will carry on watching it for a few more episodes. Of course I am still loving Empress Ki and I hope you will enjoy the episodes that you watch. The Jdramas of this season that I watched are Ando LLoyd, Doctor X 2 and Dokushin Kizoku and I enjoyed all three rating them 8. I hope you have a good weekend. Take care.

Hi Edinaa, yes unfortunately we caught some of the bad weather that hit the UK and France in the last few days. Luckily the temperature is not too cold but I hope the rain and wind will stop soon too. Have you been watching any dramas then? I managed to watch the two episodes of this week of Empress Ki and really enjoyed them. I also watched the Prime Minister episodes and tomorrow I hope to watch the Man who came from the Stars. In the evening I am still watching The Equator Man which I am enjoying too.

Hi Edinaa, I am fine thanks. I just came back from a long Christmas lunch with our family in Milan. Here it is raining heavily so it's nice to be indoors and enjoying the warmth of the home and the family. I plan to watch some dramas later on today. I hope you are having a good time too. Take care.

Merry Christmas to you too...I hope you enjoy this holiday season and I also wish you lots of happiness for the New Year. Yes I also enjoy our discussions and hope there will be plenty more.

This was a great sequel to the first season of Doctor X. Even though the main character was exactly as before this time the plot focused more on the power struggles inside hospitals and on how many doctors forget what their initial scope in their profession is. The added bonus in this season was the casting of Fujiki Naohito who did as usual a great job.

good, I am glad to read these news. I hope you enjoy this holiday season. Take care.

Hi Edinaa, I was very sad to read about what happened to your aunt and I hope that now she has recovered completely. I also hope your hands will improve and it is a good idea to take breaks from the PC now and again. I hope the Christmas atmosphere for you will go back to being good and relaxed again. Take lots of care and keep warm.

Hi Edinaa, thanks for your lovely posts. I also wish you a lovely Christmas time and a wonderful 2014. I hope you enjoy whatever drama you decide to download. Yes this evening we will have a special Christmas Eve dinner with a nice lit fireplace to keep us warm. Take lots of care.

Hi Sandrose, thanks so much for your Holiday wishes. I want to wish you Happy Holidays too and a great 2014. Take lots of care.

Hi Edinaa, it is good to hear that you will be relaxing during the coming days. I hope you do get to watch Cruel City as it is definitely one of the best dramas of 2013 for me. I also want to see the award ceremonies and I hope someone will decide to subtitle them in English as I would really like to understand what they will be saying. Take care.
