IRIS



Kim Hyun Joon and Jin Sa Woo are best friends who were brought into a top secret organization known as NSS by analyst Choi Seung Hee and Park Sang Hyun.  Hyun Joon and Sa Woo both fall in love with Seung Hee when she first profiles them. Their lives are changed forever when Hyun Joon is given a solo mission in Hungary. Hyun Joon later tries to find out who set him up and to figure out what IRIS is and wants.


This drama was okay I like action/ adventure and this drama has a lot of it, a lot of guns, fighting and violence. The reason I started watching he drama was because of TOP, he is an amazing actor and I wish his character had a larger part in this drama. What I did not like was the ending it was like WTF? I wish I can rant more about it (this would not be a paragraph but an essay but I don't want to ruin the drama for those who have yet to see it, Also the camera's movements were a little unstable at times I'm not sure what was going on with that but it bothered me and one last thing your a top agency who deals with criminals and terrorists how is it that no one wears a bullet proof vest, no one has bullet proof cars? I mean seriously so many people were shot in the chest in this drama people who should know that their job is dangerous and it would be unnecessary for them to wear a bullet proof vest in situations they are involving themselves in. Overall I'm not sure if I will be watching Iris 2 I'm leaning more towards no then yes cuz this drama was okay it wasn't all that.

KO One


KO One is a class designed especially for the delinquents and rejects that other high schools would not accept. Even so, everyone in the class is loyal to the leader, Da Dong (KO.3), and would die for friends. Tied for #3, Ya Se, and #4, Xiao Yu soon joins the class. Out of some fortuitous events, their lives become tied together and they become best buddies. Another student, Lei Ke Si, who had been gone for a whole semester, rejoins the class. Although Lei Ke Si seems like a weak kid with only good intentions, Ya Se suspects he is KO.2.


A fun drama to watch, interesting an cute it does not actually have any fight scenes at all which was a surprise to be but it is more like a comedy. I am a huge Fahrenheit an so I love that Jiro, Aaron and Calvin were in the drama it made it even better the only thing that was missing was Wu Chun.. P.S. Make sure that in the 21st episode you watch the credits as well this drama has a happy ending.

Nice Guy



Also know as No Such Thing as a Nice Guy, a classic melodrama involving betrayal, revenge, and romance. The story is about Kang Ma Ru, who gave up everything for the woman he loves only to be betrayed by her. To get revenge on his ex-girlfriend, he uses her step-daughter and successor to Tae Sang Group, Seo Eun Gi. Unfortunately, she suffers brain damage and loss of memory after a car accident, and now Kang Ma Ru works to fix everything that went awry because of his blind sighted revenge and ends up falling in love with Seo Eun Gi.


This drama started out great, it was amazing every episode ended with a cliff hanger I started watching it when it first released by near the end I was confused, frustrated and annoyed so I gave up on it for a few months and came back to finish it up. People have told me that the ending sucked so I took my time finishing cuz there is nothing I hate like a drama with a bad ending, but this drama actually has a good ending, not what I expected - could have been better but overall it was a happy ending so that's all that matters. I did like this drama and it had its cute moments. My favorite thing about this drama was Song Joong Ki he is so cute really adorable. Also I love Lee Kwang Soo, I'm a huge Runningman fan so I call him Giraffe, but he was awesome in this drama as well.

Full House: Take Two



A hapkido teacher Jang Man Ok becoming a stylist of top idol group TAKE ONE, composed of the perfectionist Lee Tae Ik and a free yet kind guy named Won Kang Hwi and getting into a romantic relationship with them. Tae Ik became an idol in order to gain back the house "Full House" where he had lived with his late parents. 

This drama was okay not as good as the first Full House, the romance was so-so, the story line was okay and it had a happy ending.  There were a few things that I feel I need to mention. first off what is up with the hair? Everyone's hair was something I could not stand in this drama, appearance is really important and this was a mess. The second thing is that Jang Man Ok is suppose to be a stylist but the way she dresses is a nightmare nothing stylish or appealing about it, a teddy bear collar jacket? What in the world were the stylists of this drama thinking I did not see a single thing she wore as something a fashion designer would wear! The thing that I did enjoy is Park Ki Woong, just as in Bridal Mask he was great in this dram a really good actor, and I liked his character, Won Kang Hwi as well.

Queen In Hyun's Man


Kim Boong Do is a scholar who had supported the reinstatement of Queen In Hyun when Jang heebin's schemes resulted in her being deposed and replaced as King Sukjong's queen consort.With the help of a spell when he is in going to be killed in a fight he travels 300 years into the future of modern Seoul and meets Choi Hee Jin, a no-name actress who is expecting a career renaissance through her role as Queen In Hyun in a TV drama.She helps him to know about the history of his time and change some events.After that they start to develop feelings for each other.

First of this drama is amazing!! The best romance of 2012.  Passed by this drama many times but it didn't seem interesting after seeing it on many people's blogs as a good drama I decided to watch it.  I wasn't that into the historical part but everything else was amazing I was so into it that I finished it in 2 days.  It's not like most dramas where someone is interfering and keeping them apart or they listen to people's advice and bad judgement. It's just the two of them and trying to be together. Its a great love story I highly suggest it.

Its Okay, Daddys Girl


Eun Chae Ryung is a spoiled daughter who had always completely relied on her father. When he is involved in an accident one day, she finds herself rudely awakened from her sheltered life and forced to mature, encountering numerous hardships before she gradually becomes an independent person.  


Amazing drama, one of my all-time favorite.  I have seen the title of this drama many times but it didn't seem interesting, but after watching "Panda and Hedgehog" I noticed that Dong Hae is in it along with many other cast members and decided I was going to watch it.  The drama is great but it had me crying weeping like seriously in most episodes but it had an amazing story and I loved the oldest sisters love story the most.   

Panda and Hedgehog






Go Seung Ji is a patisserie who has been an orphan since childhood and has a gruff and prickly personality that matches his nickname of "Hedgehog." He meets the easygoing and sweet-natured Pan Da Yang, better known as "Panda," who hires him as the new patisserie of Café Panda. Together, the two work to make Café Panda a success while fending off competition from the Saint-Honoré bakery franchise.


Great drama I loved it, honestly I loved the 
bromance more then the romance.  Donghae was amazing in this role is acting is awesome as usual.  Really cute drama I totally recommend it to everyone.  The rest of the cast was also great I love this cast, it seems that the director decided to just recast most of the people from "It's Okay, Daddy's Girl".


Me Too, Flower!


A tough female police officer who suffers from depression falls in love with a young multimillionaire whom she initially believed was a parking attendant. Instead of counting her lucking stars, she is taken aback by how rich he is. Officer Cha Bong-sun is a peculiar woman who defies the rigid social hierarchy and rails against it. And Seo Jae-hee, the millionaire boyfriend, is a peculiar man who falls in love with this quirky police officer. They fall passionately in love with each other. A crazy sort of love. A story about people, relationships and love.




This drama was amazing I loved it. I didn't hear about it or see it being mentioned in any blogs but I randomly started watching it and it was amazing I totally feel in love with it right away. Yoon Shi Yoon is really adorable, hot, and totally cute in this drama. I recommend this drama to anyone, especially someone who (like me) is a sucker for a guy who will stand up for his girl no matter what he loses. Also this drama has the best kiss scene I have ever watched, I usually don't comment on those kinds of things because kiss scenes are all great when the lead couple (finally) does it, but this one was really great compared to all the dramas I watched. So definitely watch it. ^_^

Skip Beat



Gong Xi sacrificed her life to support her boyfriend, Bu Puo Shang, so he could become a successful singer. One day, Shang suddenly breaks up with Gong Xi, leaving her with nothing, and Gong Xi vows revenge. She decides to delve into the entertainment world and become even more successful than Shang to get back at him. Gong Xi therein meets Dun He Lian, another actor in her agency, who helps motivate her to become a top entertainer.



I liked the drama, didn't really like the ending though but I guess in the Manga it has a second part so it might make more sense if they do part 2 as well. The love story was not that good between the lead and Siwon, to be honest even though Donghae's character was an ass I was thinking "okay girl, leave Siwon and go back to Donghae", first off Siwon's character was not treating her way better either, and second I can't stand to watch Donghae all sad and stuff.  After watching it I discussed the drama with someone who didn't like it at all.  They said they don't like dramas that are dubbed, maybe its my lack of Mandarin, or what but I didn't even notice it was dubbed I just assumed that Donghae and Siwon were also fluent in Mandarin.  Overall I liked it but it lacked a bit of romance.

Really cute drama, had a lot of great scenes could have been more romantic but overall it was good. Up until this drama I liked some of Rain's songs but I didn't think much of him, but in this drama he really shows his charm and his aegyo.

Possessed



Ha Na and Doo Na were twin sisters who were very close to each other until Doo Na died a terrible death. One day, the usually bright and energetic Ha Na finds herself changing. She has superhuman strength and can do things that nobody can. Ha Na realizes that Doo Na's spirit has inhabited her body. Shin Ryu, a criminal psychoanalyst, uses Ha Na's powers to kill people that cannot be punished by the law.


Extremely scary drama I was shitting my pants for most of it, my favorite scene is in episode one when the chick was falling from the school roof top and as she was falling she looked at the other chick dead in the eyes and it was all in slow motion and shit was crazy.  Anyways I don't really like watching scary stuff I have a hard time sleeping but I really wanted to watch this drama because of Geonil Oppa <3



Creating Destiny





Han Sang Eun emigrated to Australia with her family at a young age. Years later, she has completed her law studies in the United States and plans to marry her American boyfriend. Her dad, however, is strongly opposed to their union and has set his heart on her marrying Kim Yeo Joon, the son of his best friend. Sang Eun finds herself exiled to Korea, where she reluctantly teams up with the equally uninterested Yeo Joon to devise a plan that will allow them to avoid their impending marriage.


I really liked this drama I love it when the couple hates each other in the beginning but later they fall madly in love. The show has 31 episodes so it was kind of long for my taste but I really enjoyed it. Its also cute that they couple end up getting married in real life.

To The Beautiful You

 Kang Tae-Joon is a gold medalist in the high jump, but he has been mired in a slump due to an injury. In order to help her idol, a girl named Koo Jae-Hee disguises herself as a boy and enrolls at the same all male high school.

Another drama about a girl pretending to be a guy. Am I weird for liking this think off stuff? Either way I'm not a Shinee or f(x) fan but this drama was pretty good not as good as You're Beautiful or K-Pop Ultimate Audition but it was okay.  Even though I didn't find Minho and Sulli to be a "cute couple" I still watched it, and the reason is because of Seo Jun Young, he was so adorable and funny I hope he stars in a Drama of his own soon.

Haeundae Lovers


A public prosecutor goes undercover to infiltrate a crime family in Haeundae, Busan, then gets into an accident and loses his memory. He then becomes embroiled in a love affair with the daughter of an organized crime ring boss. After he recovers his memory, he stands at a crossroads and has to decide whether he denies his love and has his lover jailed, or he leaves his job and lives with her as a member of a crime ring.



I love love loved this drama! It was awesome, the characters are cute and the plot is really good.  My favorite part of this drama was Geonil, I am a huge fan and he is an excellent actor.  Overall its one of my favorite dramas.

Bridal Mask


Gaksital is a famous manhwa set in the 1930s, during the Japanese occupation. The hero, Lee Kang To, is known as 'Gaksital' because he wears a mask to hide his face — one of those traditional play masks, specifically the rosy-cheeked one reserved for the female role, aka the bride. He's an unassuming young man in real life, but when he dons his superhero mask, he fights injustice and rights wrongs during one of the darkest periods of Korea's history.

One of my all time favorite dramas, I loved it, it was really interesting to watch and every episode leaves you wanting more. Highly command it if enjoy like to watch k-dramas with people who don't like the same type of dramas you do because this drama has everything action, suspense, romance. Also I love Joo Won he was amazing I miss him so much now the the show is over I need to find other dramas he is in <3.

Ghost


Ghost is about a police department that deals with Cyber Crimes. It starts with Woo Hyun trying to catch Hades, a computer genius. Following the events of the Cyber Squad trying to solve murders that are related to using computers to invade privacy which in the end are all related.


I'm not really into CSI type of shows but since I'm an A+ and MBLAQ's G.O is in the drama I was all for it. After watching the first episode I was hooked and a few episodes later they caught the first killer I thought wow they already got him what are the rest 15+ episode gona be about. It was really good. No romance at all in this drama though which is the only negative. I also enjoyed watching Daniel Choi, I never loved flashbacks before as much as I did in this drama. I wish there was more Daniel Choi in it he is way too cute.

The Wedding Scheme



Just finished watching The Wedding Scheme. It's a Korean Drama about four sisters who are trying to find love and success in life. It's a simple theme but a great drama. It wasn't extremely addicting I was able to leave the episodes for the next day, I didn't need to stay up and find out what happens but it was interesting and the love story was great.

Extremely cute and interesting I loved it, highly recommend it.   It's funny and cute at the same time and the love stories are great.   If you want to watch a romantic drama that won't have you in tears his is a great one.


K-Pop The Ultimate Audition


Ji Seung Yeon dreams of becoming a hip-hop legend and unexpected events set her on the path to achieve just that, although there is an added obstacle - she has to dress up as a boy in order to join a male idol group. In the process, she meets Kang Woo Hyun, the leader of the popular idol group, M2, who captivates fans with a killer smile that masks his rude and selfish personality.

By far the best drama, my favorite the only problem I that it was canceled before all 16 episodes aired so it ends at episode 14 an things are left unsettled. The love story is awesome its extremely addicting. The cast is great I love Park Yoo Hwan he is amazing and MBLAQ has a few cameos in the drama is like cherry on top of the sundae.  Loved it highly recommend it even if it is not complete what is there is worth watching even if it is not complete. 

Dream High 2

Kirin High School of Art has been taken over by Oz Entertainment because of financial bankruptcy. Oz Entertainment then transfers over its own idol stars to Kirin High to avoid a law requiring under age entertainers to study for a set time. Competition then brews between troubled students at Kirin High School of Art and then newly transfered idols from Oz Entertainment.
Shin Hae-Sung enters Kirin High School of Art with a high written exam score, but poor performance scores. She then meets fellow students Jin Yoo-Jin and JB, who makes her realize how fun music can be. Jin Yoo-Jin acted when he was a young child. Now, he is a troubled student dreaming of becoming a rock star. He attempts to cure his pain caused by his parent's divorce through music.

Dream High 2 I think was better than Dream High when I started watching I thought that there is no way a sequel can be better than the original but the story line in the second one was better than the first even though the first one had better cast.  Overall I liked it, not the best drama but it had its good moments and call me a pedo-noona if you must but I couldn't stay away from this drama mainly because of J.B. he is too adorable.  

My Fair Lady


Of the high-rolling top 'hot celebrities' of the wealthy upper class in Korea's high society, Kang Hye Na is the one desired by the men, feared and hated by the women. Being the only successor to the largest conglomerate company, Kang San Group, Kang Hye Na has both the looks and the background. She is the owner of the 'Lady Castle' and lives a 'princess-like' life with her servants. Until one day, out of pure coincidence, she comes across Seo Dong Chan who turns her life upside down. Not only does he make her do community service, he even kidnapped her... and now he's the new household manager. Even after stepping on him, crushing him and biting him, he still doesn't give up.

Eun Hye like always is great in her role.  This drama was really interesting, it was funny and playful.  The plot wasn't mayor and the cast wasn't all that it was pretty much all plain, not a drama that I would watch again but for a one time kind of thing it was alright overall I liked it.

Dream High

Six students at Kirin Art High School work to achieve their dreams of becoming stars in the Korean music industry. During the drama, the students learn how to develop their singing, songwriting and dancing skills while also undergoing personal growth. They also go through their love life and start to develop feelings for each other. Each one of the students has his or her own strengths and weaknesses, but with the support and guidance of each other, they strive to debut on stage.

The story line is really interesting the competitions they have to go through to succeed its really interesting.  The love story revolves around three couples, sort of.  The first couple is Go Hye Mi  and Song Sam-dong. But Hyun Shi-hyuk also liked Hye Mi and thats one thing I didn't like about the drama I was supporting Shi Hyuk to be with Hye Mi and since it didn't work out like that I dislike this drama. But the thing that I did like was IU and Woo Young as Pil Sook and Jason they were so adorable, one of my favorite couples ever.  Also this is where my IU addiction started after this drama I was into IU songs all the time she is still my favorite K-Pop singer!

Shinning Inharitance

Go Eun Sung (played by Han Hyo Joo) has lived a blissful life similar to that of Cinderella - her father loves her and her autistic brother dearly, while her stepmother despises the fact that Eun Sung gets everything her own daughter can't have. However, tragedy strikes: her father passes away, she is kicked out of her home, and her younger brother disappears without a trace. Eun Sung perseveres, working hard to make enough money for a small home and constantly searching for her missing brother. She meets an old woman, Jang Sook Ja, who happens to be the CEO of a food company, and her kindness touches the grandmother. Sook Ja brings Eun Sung into her family and announces that the girl will inherit her fortune and company, sparking a bitter rivalry between Eun Sung and Sook Ja's spoiled grandson Hwan.


This drama is really touching the female lead sometimes makes decisions that make her seem weak but overall it's good, I liked it and I highly recommend it.



Spy Myung Wol

An elite North Korean spy, Han Myung Wol, and her partner, Choi Ryu, infiltrates South Korea on a mission to disrupt the Hallyu Wave by kidnapping one of their top stars, Kang Woo. Despite her proficiency at her job, Myung Wol's one weakness is her uncontrollable curiosity. Hijinks ensue when she falls in love with Kang Woo instead.

It's a really fun drama to watch, Myung Wol only knows combat she lacks knowledge in human interactions, so when she has to seduce Kang Woo it's interesting to watch. Very romantic and I recommend it. The couples are great and you will be really into it, its awesome.  Myung Wol and Kang Woo are such a adorable couple .



Heading To The Ground

The drama about a man trying to achieve what is thought to be impossible: fulfilling his dreams of being a great soccer player. He meets Kang Hae Bin, a sports agent who tries to live her life away from the influence of her rich father.

It's a good drama, nothing special.  It started out great but was kind of draggy.  If you want watch a nice drama that won't make u addicted then this is a good choice. The thing that I did like is that it's a sport drama, there isn't many sport Korean dramas.  Also I love soccer and I love Yun Ho so with that combination even if it was draggy I loved it just cuz I get to watch him play soccer, and anything Yun Ho does is amazing so it made me love watching every minute of it. 

You're Beautiful

The management company of the idol group A.N.JELL insisted on adding a new singer to the group as the lead vocal, Tae Kyung's voice was hurting. However,the new member, Mi Nam, had to go to the States to repair a botched eye job just before signing the contract. His agent came up with the idea of having his twin sister, Mi Nyu,to stand in for him and pretend that she was her brother. The two of them grew up in an orphanage and Mi Nyu, who was all set to become a nun, agreed to this charade as she didn't want to spoil her brother's chance of fame which would make it easier to look for their mother.


One of my all time favorites definitely on my TOP 10. I typically think its weird when a girl pretends to be Guy for any reason but I love it in movies and dramas. This drama is really cute it has a typical theme of good girl likes bad boy, bad boy hates good girl, good girl changes bad boy and they live happily ever after ( my favorite k-drama concept). The cutest cast ever I love them all <3 I highly recommend it if you didn't see it go right now and watch it!
