thanks very much for this list. So far I am only interested in Summer Nude...I will keep an eye on the ratings and see if there is anything else I want to try seeing.
Thanks for this article. Personally I am enjoying this drama more than usual mostly because I am finding it very 'open' and new compared to the usual Jdramas. Initially it reminded me of a combination of the Bridget Jones films and Sex and the City series(the bed scenes in this drama were a real surprise for me!), however now with the developing love triangle it is taking a route of its own. I am finding it easy going and pleasant to watch and I am looking forward to seeing how it will end.
The fighting scenes that I enjoyed the most out of the ones that you mention are definitely all those in City Hunter. However I agree with the comments below as I enjoyed the fighting scenes in Bridal Mask a lot too.
I totally agree with Fanchan2 here below as decided to drop this at Ep. 11 because I found the plot a bit boring. The original idea wasn't too bad and the acting was good but the writers focused on the most uninteresting aspect of the story, the greed for money rather than the romance, and I gave up.

I will certainly watch it soon and let you know...I can't wait to see Shin Ha Kyun in action again. ;0)
Well, finally this drama has ended and like many viewers here I feel a sense of relief. I will also avoid this writer from now on as I believe the major fault with this was the script from the start. The whole story was a real rollercoaster of emotions, with many moments which didn't make much sense.
OK in the end they managed to clean up a little bit of the mess they made, but the ride was not so much fun for me. The only aspects which saved this story were the good acting of most of the cast (well except for Shin Se Kyung of course who was frozen for 20 episodes)and the OST which was not too bad. I rated it 7 mainly for these two factors and because of the presence of Song Seung Hun thanks to whom I didn't drop it halfway through. Be prepared for a puzzling ride if you decide to watch it.
thanks for this guide, I'll make sure I watch something out of this. I only know Nino as a singer in Arashi and I simply adore his voice therefore he is also a brilliant singer.

thanks for your friend request, we have lots of actors that we like in common!
I think your article gave me food for thought, so thanks a lot for writing it. I find myself actually agreeing a lot with the comment below written by Hadassa. I also started out with Jdramas and watched about 60 of them before turning to Kdramas (I haven't watched any Tdramas as yet). The emotions that I feel whilst watching Kdramas are really intense and I don't know if it is because the acting is so good and convincing, or because (most of) the plots are really well written, or because of the OSTs which are generally of very high quality. I never experienced this whilst watching Jdramas although I rated a few of them 10 mostly for their poetry and delicacy. As far as the kissing goes in both cases these scenes can be very frustrating especially after we witness so much angst before they occur...I would give them an even score as I find these representations totally unrealistic.

one of my favourite singles of Arashi is Face Down, however all the tracks of their last two albums are really, really good. I highly recommend them!

Of Asian music I am a fan of the Jpop group Arashi and I don't know any Kpop groups. :0)
I enjoyed this drama which was on the whole a good romcom. I was very sorry to read that the lead actress died on the same year in which this drama was broadcasted and this factor made me watch the drama with a different viewpoint. The acting of all the cast was really good but I thought the story was very similar to others that I have watched in the past especially in Oh My Lady therefore I rated it 7. I can never get over how women in many Korean dramas are portraied as slow and weak.

I'm fine thanks and how are you? I like your nick. ;0)
I love this article...it's very funny and very well written!! I should have these type of conversations with my brain too, but sometimes I just consider dramas as fairytales, like Faith for example which is one of my favourites,never asking myself too many logical questions and just enjoying the ride. Well done! ;0)
I am also a big fan of Ha Ji Won and really liked all the dramas that I have seen with her so far as I enjoy her roles of a strong woman. I also appreciated Yoon Eun Hye in Coffee Prince, Lie to Me and The Vineyard Man but less in I Miss You. I only saw Moon Geun Young in Painter of The Wind and I thought she was really awesome in that drama.
OK in the end they managed to clean up a little bit of the mess they made, but the ride was not so much fun for me. The only aspects which saved this story were the good acting of most of the cast (well except for Shin Se Kyung of course who was frozen for 20 episodes)and the OST which was not too bad.
