Angel's Temptation : Great drama...Loved it even though it was far fetched at times. But it's a K-dram what do you expect. I liked the ending...made it different. |
Agreed| Spoiler (Click here to reveal) : |
| And the death scene of Joo Ah Ran was one of the most moving that I have ever scene in a kdrama. |

Smile Honey-cute and lighthearted

Smile Honey is so great that it has entered my list of all time favorites.
| Animefanzgirl wrote: | Three Brothers-good...for anyone who liked First Wives Club or Sol Pharmacy this one is following along those lines.
|
Agreed. I like this one.
| Animefanzgirl wrote: | Jewel Bibimbap/Assorted Jewels -Off and on...its ok.

I will check this out because of the westerner that speaks Korean.

BLASPHEMY!!
| Animefanzgirl wrote: | | Youre' Beautiful/He's Beautiful I saw 1 or 2 eps but it reminded me of a mix of Coffee Prince and Boys Over Flowers. Nothing new and it didn't really impress me but I might give it a chance again if I have nothing else to watch. |
I felt the same about Will it Snow for Christmas. 1st 2 episodes seemed interesting (when the leads were teenagers) but I thought that they totally screwed up the story when they had the brother drown while trying to find the pendant. At that point the series lost all of its momentum. And then the leads grew up, they introduced new love interests and it became totally slow paced and boring.
| Animefanzgirl wrote: | | Taming of the Heir for me is boring too I saw a couple of eps and it just did nothing for me... |
I saw 5 minutes of this and decided it's not for me. One scene seemed too silly and another scene was too romantic.
| Animefanzgirl wrote: | | Is Brilliant Legacy the Same as Brilliant Inheritance...If so I REALLY liked that one! |
Yes, different titles for the same show. I thought Brilliant Legacy was OK. Touching story of repentance. Interesting characters.
Finished Watching:
Films:
The Chaser - This entered my list of top favorite films. Based on a true story of a serial killer. Very intense film but with enough variation to keep it interesting. The lead character is excellent as the ex-cop seeking to catch the killer.
A Bittersweet Life - Average. Gangster doesn't do the will of his boss and has to pay. Some OK actions scenes but plot is basically kill them before they kill me.
Old Boy - This left a bad taste with me. Too crazy a story line and subject matter explored was too taboo.
Currently Watching:
Jejoongwon - This is one is really cool. But you have to suspend disbelief. A western doctor, Dr. Allen, sets up the first hospital in Korea and the natives are scared that he's out to eat them. The doctor proves that western medicine is OK by performing brain surgery in front of the emperor and colon/rectal surgery in front of the villagers. His nemesis is an evil Japanese doctor who wants Japan to introduce Western medicine into Korea. But the real protagonist is "Light-Weight-Dog" who is Dr. Allen's assistant. His rival is Mr. Baek, the son of the late Minister of Justice, who forced "Light-Weight-Dog" to do an autopsy on his friend. Lady Soshona, from Jumong, is in this and she is always happy and smiling but it's genuine and not fake. Plus she wears the biggest hanbok ever. And you also have the best sidekick/valet/assistant ever in the character of "Stick", who worries about every thing but has that old world peasant charm. I totally recommend this kdrama for some kzaniness, while observing the rejection of Western culture by 19th century Korea.
Chit-Chat of Beautiful Ladies - KBS World talk show that features foreigners, mostly women, but some men, talking in Korean with a host(s) and a few Korean celebrity guests. Main topic of the show is the exploration of Korean culture through the eyes of foreigners and the understanding of non-Korean cultures. It's a very interesting show with a lot of comedic moments and of course a lot of beautiful ladies. I totally recommend this show to anyone who wants to learn more about the things that are shown on kdramas but aren't fully explained. For instance I learned that Christmas in Korea is like Valentine's day in the US; it's meant for couples and that's why kdramas try to mention it. I also learned that they are 1 million foreigners in S. Korea and 1 out of 8 marriages is to a foreigner! The show is on Mondays at 12:50 AM on Ch 532 on time warner cable in queens. |

Finished Watching
Still, Marry Me - Loved it! All time favorite chic drama
Stars Falling from the Sky-Loved it! Yes it was totally over the top unbelievable, but also funny and heartwarming. Loved Parang and Lawyer-they should get best couple of the year
Pasta-Dud/bad. Unbelievably annoying. I still hear "Chef!" in my sleep and cringe. I only watched all of this because of the gorgeous eye candy in Team Italy. Other than that-it was not worth the pain and suffering
Birth of a Rich Man-Horribly stupid. I started this drama because I love the two male leads but after ep. 2 , I had enough. I stuck it out for another 2 ep. but the eye candy was not enough to hold out.
Man Called God-Ugh. I know a lot of people like IRIS, but I hated it. After seeing Black and White (tdrama), I am ruin from watching badly done adventure dramas. I place this one with IRIS except I think IRIS was a lot better. Hate to admit it. This one is more outrageous and stupid than IRIS.
Currently Watching
Good Day for the Wind to Blow-I am really enjoying this one although I can't find any subs. The fact that I like it w/o subs says a lot. I only understand 1/4 of what is being said. Yet I keep watching every day, wanting to see what happens next. It had one of the cutest scenes in an elevator that I have ever seen.
Daring Women-Enjoying the story. I did not think I would but after 4th ep. it really started getting go. The twist and turns, along with the secrets that keep popping up is making it delicious.
You are my Destiny-I just started and I am enjoying it. Will have to watch more to make up my mind
Creating Destiny-I am also close to being done with this one. I have enjoyed this one a lot. Love the lead female. Not my favorite but no complaints.
Definite Neighbors-This is surprisingly good. There is no eye candy and not a lot of people talking about it, but the acting/writing/story is really good. I think this will be a fav of mine.
PS Man (Taiwanese Drama)-This is sinfully delicious with gorgeous males being bad and gorgeous females making them pay. My Favorite-can't wait until the next episode to air. Definitely an all-time Favorite-have to get the DVD of this one. This is my recommended drama if you can only see one drama-really worth watching if you like women getting revenge on men. Plus the eye candy is lovely-they give you lots of opportunities to enjoy.
Down with Love (Taiwanese drama)-I can't figure out why I like this except the sister is awesome and I love Jerry. I could do without Ella but she is toning down with each new ep. so I guess it is not so bad
Because of You (Taiwanese drama)-This started pretty decent and I had hopes that it would get better as it went along, but instead, it is starting to really annoy me and I am only liking one character (Fan club girl). I might drop this one after the next ep. if it does not improve.
I Love You, Don't Cry-Starting to get annoyingly cliché. If it is a bad cliché in Korean drama then they have it in this. I am about to drop it. I am only watching because of Grandpa and the kid. Otherwise, this was really poorly written. Way too predictable.
Planning to Watch
Personal Taste♥
Cinderella's Sister
Chuno
Three Brothers
Oh My Lady
Don't hesitate-started this and then dropped because I couldn't get ep. Want to try watching it again
Harvest Villa
My Girlfriend is Gimiho♥
Bad Guy♥
Prosecutor Princess♥
Love of Pygmalion
Romeo & Juliet-I can't find info on this-though there is an OST just released for it by F(x). I want to find this one.
Summer's Desire (Taiwanese drama)♥-this has been delayed so much that I am dying for it to start. Said to be happening end of March-fingers crossed that it won't be cancelled. |

After a year of hiatus from watching K-dramas, I'm now back with a vengeance!
Finished Watching:
"Stars falling From the Sky" - I really, really loved this one! So funny! It was a bit silly, and rushed at the end, but I never grew bored with it, and I loved the 2 leads. Plus, the kids were adorable.
Currently Watching:
"Assorted Gems" - I'm watching this one with the DOMmies, and so far its one not to be missed.
"Autumn's Concerto" - A Taiwanese drama, with a cute male lead. Enough said!
"That Fool/ Accidental Couple" - It's hilarious!
"White Lies" - A powerhouse of a drama. It starts off strong, but with 150 episodes, we'll see if I can make it through.
Planing to Watch:
"Oh! My Lady" - This one has literally only just started airing, so it'll be awhile before I can watch it. But Chae Rim as an ajumma and possibly a 'cougar'?! All the makings of a good drama!
"You're Beautiful" - Everyone has given this good reviews, so I'll try it.
"Shining Inheritance" - Also has good reviews.
These I already started, but plan to finish after the other ones.:
"City Hall" - Very funny, with Kim Sun Ah at her best.
"IRIS" - lots of action. _________________ R.I.P. Jung Da Bin....I hope you found the peace you sought!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me and Jang Suk Hyun....A love as bizarre as the Bizarre Bunch!
