K-Dramas (also Jap/Taiwanese)

[Furgeson]

Ah, Korean Dramas, we love you!
I've been watching these disgusting things too much lately.
Two tests tomorrow, and what a wonderful way to study! Erm, Not. 

Comments and a List of wonderful K-Dramas
Goong- Boring, but the actors and costume were wonderful. "Yeaaaa, Mama..."
Coffee Prince- Brilliant Humor, and did I say I LOVE that lead girl? Also the lead of Goong! 
You're Beautiful- Sensational! Totally unrealistic, but it's so good that I've ignored that.
Boys Over Flowers- Horrid. Yet WHY did I watch the whole thing? I especially hate the lead actors. Ugly >.>
My Girl- A masterpiece, and doesn't recieve anywhere near enough attention! Lee Jun Ki, and that cute lead actress? Irresistible humor, a wonderful plot, and heaps of charisma- I love it, even though I never got to finish .__.

To be watched: Cinderella's Sister... I better go prepare my tissue box!

...So, do you guys have anything to add to the mix?

[icewing]

Dong Yi - this one is a MASTERPIECE.
King of baking, Kim tak goo.
Shining inheritance
my girlfriend is a nine tailed fox.

[charmy]

OH yes, My Girl is a very nice show. Though i thought the other lead actor who the girl ended up with was cuter. xD


Not for those who are not armed with tissue boxes:
Tree In Heaven

Some might say that the story line is ridiculous but to those who believe it can happen, it's a real tearjerker.

[Disturbance]

I watched all the dramas you mentiond lily.

That fool - was good.
Chuno (the slave hunter) - new drama on weekends.
My Beautiful Seoul - watched halfway.
Cinderella Man - rlly good!

[icewing]

O_O ALL of them?!?!?! i don't have time...

xD i'm trying to finish Shining inheritance and Dong Yi. then i'll try the new ones....

[Disturbance]

nope........ermmmmmm i finished that like before 8 mths ago.

[icewing]

oh......O_O  xD.

i wanna watch the sunkyungaklsdjf;alksd scandal thingy but my mom refused to watch with meh. xD

[Disturbance]

What scandal?

[icewing]

if you go on mysoju, i think it's the number 2. sungkyun something something scandal. i find that name very long ...

[Disturbance]

oh...sound like manga

[icewing]

xD. kdramas. i just watched some shining inheritance. pretty good so far!

[Disturbance]

I don't like the storyline :(

[icewing]

oh....my mom thinks Jun Se  (the dude who is nice to Eun sung) is real good looking while she hates the other dude ( the dude who took her bag). xD. wow.



mischievous kiss seems to have real low ratings.  hm. isn't kim hyun joong in there?

[Disturbance]

He is.

I feel like korean wave is trying to take over from taiwan..... right now its like this.

China - Taiwan - Korea

All the manga-drama versions are all like that. Go through China reproduction - Taiwan Reproduction - Korea reproduction

[icewing]

and the korean one wins! 

it's getting better now!

i heard fugitive was pretty good. ok. rain is just EPIC. he had 66 differen't faces in that movie. 66!

[Michelle]

I haven't finished Goong, I kind of stopped because it go a little boring for me, even though I absolutely loved the manga. I tend to watch the beginning of series and then just stop in the middle, then later on watching it again. I also "watched" Cinderella's Sister, I watched the first few episodes but then I couldn't find episodes that were subbed so I just read the summaries on dramabeans. It was okay..at first it seemed really interesting, however it got boring in the middle.

I am more into watching Taiwanese/Chinese dramas since I can understand it without have to find subs which makes my life so much easier (& for some I have the DVDs when I went to China this summer)
So far, the most recent ones that I have watched are :
Meteor Showers
Meteor Showers 2
It Started with a Kiss
They Kiss Again
Si Si Dong Dong(forgot the english translation), which I haven't finished


I am planning on watching another series for Thanksgiving break...but I have yet to find one that sparks my interest.  (& I plan on re-watching the Bokura ga Ita anime because it is my most favorite anime/manga and as of now I am unable to get the newest chapters. Though, they are being released in English and are about 4 or 5 volumes behind so maybe once I start driving/working I will be able to secretly buy them w/out my parents finding out.)

[icewing]

ah....Goong....i want to watch that. will there be a Goong 2? I WANNA WATCH THAT!!!

i'm watching...uh...
ok. i WAS watching Witch Yoo something something

and then Stars falling from the sky.

and then Iljimae. xD

[Michelle]

There isn't Goong 2, there is Goong S though.
Apparently there wasn't a goong 2 because two of the main characters pulled out of the project.
Goong S is like Goong but flipped, the royalty person is a princess and the "commoner" is the male.

[icewing]

O_O oh...um. ok.

i'll go and see that.....

[Michelle]

I don't know if it is good or not, I haven't even finished Goong as I said before because I sometimes get bored with korean/japanese dramas because I dislike having to read subtitles so I tend to drop them but then after awhile I will start to watch them again.

[Disturbance]

I stopped watching Witch Yoohee halfway :(
Watching Chuno now...Chuno is goood!

There's only Goong and Goong S
Goong - commoner is female, with a prince.
Goong S - commoner is male :)

[icewing]

DOCTOR CHAMP

[Disturbance]

You're Beautiful is good!

[icewing]

...ew. O_O. i really don't like you're beautiful xD

HE'S UGLY.
SHE'S STUPID.
THE EBIL GIRL IS UGLY AND FAT.

and the plot was CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESY.

i'm watching Sungkyunkwan Scandal :)

[Disturbance]

Did you watch the nine-foxed-tail?

[Michelle]

I think I am going to watch Romantic Princess.

[Furgeson]

Double WHOOT~
Mary Stayed Out All Night- First two episodes now subbed 

[icewing]

...O_O. i've heard of it.....O_O

the Gumiho's actress looked freakishly botoxed. O_O

[Disturbance]

O_O pictures.

[icewing]

xD don't have them.

[NaeRi]

THE BEST DRAMA EVER is of course Mary Stayed Out All Night!!!  totally love it!!

Sungkyunkwan Scandal is worth watching too. Mainly because of Song Joong Ki ^^ Its a shame that he wasn't a male lead... Buuu

Can't wait for the Extravegant Challenge!! But my beloved Jerry Yan won't play Ren role...  WHYYYY??? Life is cruel...

[Disturbance]

Two hot korean dudes playing it sounds good too.

[NaeRi]

Well i dont mind Si Won of course <drooling> but i still prefer Jerry Yan playing Ren role....

[Furgeson]

THE BEST DRAMA EVER is of course Mary Stayed Out All Night!!!  totally love it!!

It's great when the two leads are together on screen (which is why I've been drooling over the teaser for hours on end before the first episode got subbed) but otherwise... it's kind of lacking, don't you think?
I, at least, was expecting more T.T
The chemistry is great, though! XD

[icewing]

SUNGKYUNKWAN SCANDALLLLLLLLLLLLL

[lucky3hirteen]

PLAYFUL KISS ! 
i really loooove hyun joong there
the drama is cute and funny :)
u should try it 

[Furgeson]

The anime that Playful Kiss is based on is pretty good.
I suppose that's quite a compliment coming from someone who can't stand shoujo anime. Well, I could stand it long enough to watch the whole series... So that's something? 

[icewing]

i'm watching...Secret Garden!!! :D

[Disturbance]

The anime that Playful Kiss is based on is pretty good.

i watched the taiwanese drama version.

[Animus]

i watched the taiwanese drama version.

There's a Taiwanese version?

[charmy]

I just started watching secret garden! :D

[Furgeson]

Ewwww... I dun like Secret Garden

[Animus]

I just started watching secret garden! :D

It's alright, I guess. Which version? Taiwanese or Korean?

[Furgeson]

Well, I hate the taiwanese version... so hopefully Charmy's watching that version or I wont be able to pass judgment XD

[charmy]

There's two versions? 

Uhm, the korean version. The one about the stuntwoman right?

I'm also watching a taiwan drama called My Secret Garden. It's about some university life of a girl.

Totally different o___o

[icewing]

watching secret garden. the korean version.

....i JUST realized that he is claustrophobic. O_O

[Disturbance]

i watched the taiwanese drama version.

There's a Taiwanese version?

er yeah.
part one and part two.
part one where they meet.
part two after they married.

[icewing]

watching Dream High right now :)

[Disturbance]

 

[icewing]

ok...I JUST realized that Hye mi was (i forget her name) from Miss A! so many celebrities...

Eunjung, Taecyon, the miss A girl, um...IU, idk. xD

[Furgeson]

Finally started watching Secret Garden.
So sad that he's leaving for his damned SK military service... See you in 2013 T.T

On the other hand, finished a bunch of kdramas. Prosecutor Princess, IRIS (which was so unrealistic but a fun watch), Oh my lady, and pretty much finished with Woman Who Still Wants to Marry. It was just too boring to continue... maybe another year x.x

[icewing]

:D watch Dream High!

[Furgeson]

I was going to, but it's just a ton of random k-pop artists who have no acting experience... T_T At least they all have the looks XD (and I'm sure the screenwriters are wonderful.)
I still need to get through a ton of powerhouse kdramas...


On the bright side, I did listen to the OSTs >:D

[icewing]

they're actually pretty good in there, especially the girl from Miss A and T-ara. idk about Taecyon -_-

[Furgeson]

Even though he had the abs, his role in Cinderella's Sister wasn't all that splendid. T_T

[icewing]

...D: THAT WAS HIM?! Well, i personally don't like him...but he improved! :D

[litoxpinky]

I started watching this lovely japanese drama, called Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta, because the synopsis reminded me of the Crucible and I LOVED the Crucible (John Proctor <3)! And I am on episode 6, and I am so furioussss gahhh!

I think something interesting about it is that for their music, they mainly use P!nk songs or rarely other english songs. :)

[icewing]

  dream high is getting REALLY good right now...when everyone is down in the pits...xD

[lucky3hirteen]

hmmm.
i am currently watching PROSECUTOR PRINCESS.
and i must say it's really good 

is dream high nice?

i'm planning to watch it after i watch prosecutor princess. 

[icewing]

xD DREAM HIGH IS GOOD!

I'm watching My Princess >.<

[lucky3hirteen]

does anyone know from what korean drama/movie/show this girl is from? :>

[pinkznotdead]

[pinkznotdead]

I want to watch that too..

[Furgeson]

city hunter anyone? :3

I heard it as horrible.

[icewing]

O_O...really? A ton of people say that it's really good xD

mainly because of Lee Min ho...=_=

grr...is Heartstrings good? YONGHWA IS IN IT...along with shin se kyun? the one who used to be jonghyun's girlfriend? O_O...

[pinkznotdead]

I had finished watching City Hunter..

And I love it!

some scene makes me cry and laugh!

But most of the time it makes my heart beat so fast because of the action scenes..

[icewing]

:D I HAVE FINALLY STARTED TO WATCH...HEARTSTRINGS!!

ACK YONGHWA IS SO PRETTY! *squeal* 

[pinkznotdead]

That's nice..

hehe..

I had watched episode one of arakawa under the bridge japanese drama..
I had finished watching its anime version so I just tried to watch its japanese drama..
I'm just curious of how they will make it cause there's a lot of extraordinary scenes on the anime..

[icewing]

OURAN HIGHSCHOOL HOST CLUB!! YES DRAMA VERSION!! xD

Tamaki is SO UGLY. xD

[pinkznotdead]

Hayate the Combat Butler..

Taiwanese Drama but Park Shin Hye is the lead actress..

[Yuukii]

Hayate the combat butler have a drama?  It's been so long since I watched that anime 

[icewing]

D: in my opinion, jdramas aren't very good...=_=

OURAN = UGLY PEOPLE D:

[shobeh1212]

I do like 49 days.. (sad and heart warming story...)

Currently... I'm watching again My fair lady .. I do like Yoon Eun Hye.... She's very pretty... 

[Yuukii]

I fell in love in Hayate the combat butler's drama 

Watch it everyday on the TV 

[Jenni]

D: in my opinion, jdramas aren't very good...=_=

OURAN = UGLY PEOPLE D:

Agree! I was sooo disappointed!:( There are some good Japanese dramas though. I have always like Atashi n chi no danshi, I am <3 Osamu Mukai. :P It's an older drama though, right now I am hooked on a drama called Kaseifu no Mita! :D And I watch some Korean dramas that have been dubbed in Japanese, but I have no idea which ones I have watched! :P Gotta love Japanese daytime TV!

[Fairth]

(here are my favorites)

K-drama are the best :
Coffee Prince
BBF
City hunter (though it has nothing to do with the manga)
You're beautiful
etc...

but still there's some J-Drama I liked :
My boss my hero
Hanazakiri no kimitachi e
Gokusen (yeah I watch the 3 seasons ><)
Mr.Brain
1 litre of tears


Bonus From My Boss My Hero
Pudding Race:

[icewing]

I just started watching Shut Up Flower Boy Band! (MYUNGSOO <3)

i'm also in the middle of Protect the Boss...

[Angel~]

Almost finished with Kurosagi! 
It's a Jap drama, but it has a great story!! The movie is also very nice~<3 But watch the drama first!! (I did it the wrong way... spoils the movie...  )

Also in the middle of Coffee prince, but somehow I couldn't finish it... Too distracted by Kurosagi...
Seeing all these dramas listed.... I need to watch so much more!!  (only watched J-dramas so far..)

[icewing]

FINALLY WATCHED CITY HUNTER! :D

Ah...Lee Min Ho is a genius. Also started Fashion King...really cool. and sometimes funny (lol at korean engrish)

[AshleyMarie]

City Hunter is bomb.  And every k-drama fan should watch Secret Garden.  I also really liked Tanma Island.  They are all on netflix :)

[Angel~]

You're beautiful...

Too addicting, a drama can't be like this! Need to watch more.....

[sleepyviolets]

Angel, You're Beautiful is the first K-drama I watched! It sucked me into a whole new world (of procrastination, as I started watching right before finals)...

This summer, I marathon-watched a few really good titles. Reply 1997 (REALLY REALLY GOOD. All the leads are new to acting but definitely stayed in character. Great casting.), I Hear Your Voice (hit me a lot harder than I expected it to; I didn't think I'd cry), and Flower Boy Ramyun Shop (I loved the second male lead, so wasn't terribly happy with the second half of the series).

[Angel~]

They sound pretty good, maybe I should try watching those too :)

[Pau]

the ones ive watched so far are:

my girlfriend is a gumiho
coffee prince
to the beautiful you
sungkyunkwan scandal


ive managed to finish my girlfriend is a gumiho and to the beautiful you but i cant finish coffee prince and sungkyunkwan scandal....

note to self: never watch two or more movies at the same time. 

[Angel~]

I also couldn't finish coffee prince for some reason!

[`Shally.]

School 2013
it's a korean drama.
It's actually pretty funny but sad.
The only part that made me laugh was .  .  .
[spoiler]The students went out to play for a bit on their break, and they were playing League of Legends. xDDD[/spoiler]

[Angel~]

I'm watching my all time favorite again: Faith! 

[Fairth]

I'm watching my all time favorite again: Faith! 

+1 !! I really loved that one.
You should try Rooftop Prince and Queen In Hyun's man. They are also my 3 favorite Time-travel K-drama  particularly Queen In Hyun's man !!

My favorite Time-Travel J-drama is JIN, someone watched it ? (The korean version didn't win this time )

http://mydramalist.com/dramalist/Fairth

Give me your link if you have one

[Angel~]

Oh, I believe I've heard of Queen In Hyun's man! I should def. watch it!
Time travel dramas are just awesome, I should watch JIN as well!

I don't have a list sadly... Maybe I should make one?

[Pau]

ooooh~ ive heard of rooftop prince! i think i should watch it but maybe after i finished sungkyunkwan scandal. also, anyone heard of princess hours and i hear your voice? my classmates say its a must watch in k-drama.

[Angel~]

No I haven't... Have you found something on them by now?

[sleepyviolets]

i can hear your voice was really good. like REALLY GOOD.
i'm pretty impatient, and i don't like dramas that stick to stereotypes too much...
but the pacing was good and the character development was A++++
and lee jongsuk is amaaaaazing what a qt bb i keep him 5eva
alright guys i'm going to stop talking about this drama

[Angel~]

Sounds great!

[Pau]

No I haven't... Have you found something on them by now?

i got some episodes from a friend of mine. though its incomplete but i can just download the rest
