Hope for Dating



A drama about love and relationships, centers on a college student who has both good looks and personality, but she′s actually a novice in relationships, and always fails at getting her man. Meanwhile, Cha Gi Dae is a skilled dating coach who expert at reading women′s minds. He comes to coach Yeon Ae over SNS, but despite the experience he boasts about, however, he also always fails at getting his own girl. This drama also depicts what happens when four youths with completely different views toward love start dating each other.

 

Short drama that is really annoying, if you hate dramas that keep show the leads "almost" meet every 5 minutes. The drama is bland, the positive aspect of it is Daniel Choi's acting, which is great as usual.

That Winter The Wind Blows

A gambler and con man pretends to be the long-lost brother of a blind heiress, but these two damaged people come to find the true meaning of love after meeting each other. To convince a girl with trust issues may be hard, but to trick someone you develop feelings for after you have seen the hardships they went to is even harder.
The cotton candy kiss - it was a big deal among variety shows and stuff so I wanted to find out if the drama was really that awesome. The concept was weird, kinda creepy I was hoping that she secretly knew that he wasn't her brother. Had so many moments where I didn't want him to go too far with her, and hoping someone rats him out. Overall the drama was great I loved Jo In Sung's character this is the first time I watched anything with Jo In Sung in it and I'm already a fan, his acting is awesome and so is his smile =). As always Kim Bum was great, I didn't look up the cast before hand so it was a nice surprise to see him in the drama. Finally I love that fact that Yesung sang one of the OSTs (Gray Paper) for this drama, the song was great. If you enjoyed the drama I suggest you check out Runningman Episode 139 titled That Winter the Typhoon Blows, it is based of this drama.

Secret

A girl who was trying to get by, she was happy with what she had, a lawyer boyfriend and a great father.  A rich bad boy who wanted to have fun and has no interest in the family business.

A drama full of secrets, but who's secret is more dangerous, some secrets can ruin us.  Not your typical rich boy falls for poor girl drama, this drama is full of twists and interesting situations.  I love the drama, it was unpredictable.

K.O. One 2 Return

Continuing from K.O. One, this time Wang Da Dong travels 10 years into the future where there is no power users left in the gold dimension.  In order to find his friends and how he can go back in time Wang Da Dong has to join the new K.O. One class, who are being ruled by a girl called King. 
 
Totally love the K.O. One dramas, just like the first the second one was just as good.  Even though K.O. One dramas are hard to get across with subs and Viki is not very quick with subbing I was able to finish it.  The best part of K.O. One Return is of course Jiro Wang, even though I don't understand how he doesn't have a love interest and in a way his girl gets stolen as soon as he leaves.  The other negative thing about this drama is the fact that he leaves in the middle of the drama and I missed Aaron and Kelvin, though I did enjoy Hwang In Deok but I was wondering what he was doing in a Taiwanese drama he totally looked Korean.  Overall loved it can't wait to watch K.O. One 3 aka Re-Act.

 

Master of Study

 
Kang Suk Ho is an excellent lawyer but he does work for people who are poor and in situations where they need a lawyer.  He found himself in a situation where he has to get 5 kids from the worst school to get accepted to the best university in the country.  The drama revolves around him, the students and their dilemmas as well as the teachers.

In most cases I choose which drama I will watch because of the cast, and I enjoyed "I Miss You" so much that I decided to watch this drama just because off Yoo Seung Ho.  This drama was just okay, the story line was kind of regular, the situations were not that interesting, and even though I shipped the entire cast there were no love connections in the drama.  I was surprised with the amazing cast I expect the drama to be a lot better.

You're The Best, Lee Soon Shin


Lee Soon Shin is the youngest daughter of a family that has it all.   After a misfortune in the family their lock turns around, she can't get a job and when she finally get discovered as an actress, she gets conned the first time around.  Later she makes many enemies on her way to stardom, but the person that causes the most problems for her is her birth mother.  The drama also revolves around the rest of her family members who go through hardships after the loss of one of the family members.

This drama is okay but too long, I mean what was done in 50 episodes could have been solved in like 30.  The romance in the drama was okay but not worth watching 50 episodes for it.  The main reason for watching this drama is Yoo In Na and IU.  There were a few couples and some were less interesting compared to others.

When A Man Loves


Han Tae Sang, abandoned by his family, had no choice but to become a gangster to survive.  After meeting the girl he falls in love with (Seo Mi Do) he finally decides to leave his gangster was and start fresh but it is not as easy as it seems.  He tries to forget the girl as well but love isn't so easy to ignore so he tries to get close to her instead but she feels burdened by his niceness and is unsure of her feelings, shit goes down and all hell breaks loose as they try to make their relationship work.
 
25% of this drama was enjoyable, 75% was frustrating I have never watched a drama where the female lead is such a bitch that I wouldn't mind the male lead being with the second female lead. The love story started out cute and gets better and then all of a sudden everything turns to shit, I was going to stop watching the drama but I was really curious to see how things end and the ending was whatever I guess it could have been worst but it makes you feel that the whole drama was sort of a waste of time. The female lead spent more time in this drama with the second male lead than the first male lead. The things I liked about this drama were JB & Jr. they are always so cute, Song Seung Heon of course, Kim Sang Oh and Kim Seo Kyung.

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho


Cha Tae-Woong is a spoiled young man with no interest in staying in college. Instead, Cha Tae-Woong wants to become an action actor. His wealthy grandfather Cha Poong though wants Tae-Woong to take his studies seriously & change his major from acting. On one day after Cha Dae Woong ran away from his grandfather, he accidently freed a nine-tailed fox who was closed in a painting for about 500 years. He didn't realize what he has done, until the Gumiho (nine-tailed fox),who took the form of a beautiful woman, appeared in front of him. Dae Woong was really frightened that he ran away from her and fell on the riverbank.Since he was severely injured, Gumiho came to save him and gave him her most precious bead to share with him the mystic fox' strength, as she owes him her freedom. Gumiho then asked him if he can help her become human and how to act like one. In return, she allowed him to use her bead for him to shoot for his dream action movie despite his body's severe condition. As time goes by, their mutual relationship grew deeper as they start to fall for each other.


This drama was okay, it had a great cast, I am a big fan of Lee Seung Gi and No Min Woo, also Shin Min Ah was great at portraying her character, but the storyline wasn't so good. The beginning and the end were good but it was extremely boring in the middle.

A Gentleman's Dignity


A drama about four best friends and their experiances with love, breakup, success and failure.
Kim Do Jin, an architect with a scathing tongue have romantic relationship with strict high school teacher Seo Yi Soo, who moonlights as an umpire at amateur baseball games. Im Tae San is dating a cold-hearted woman but they have different ideas of what their future together should be. Choi Yoon tries to heal his heart after losing his wife four years prior. Lee Jung Rok marries an older woman for money but is unfaithful and doesn't realize his feelings until its too late.

To be honest the only reason I started to watch this drama was because Lee Jong Hyun is in it.  He is amazing and I wanted to watch a drama with him in it, otherwise I don't like dramas about "old"-er people.  But after I started to watch it I got into it, I liked the different stories revolving around the four couples they were quite interesting.  One thing that I did not like was Jang Dong Gun's character.  He was not good looking and his attitude was too snobby, I didn't like anything about his character.  The ending of the drama was good, everyone gets what they want.

Rooftop Prince


When Crown Prince Lee Gak is transported 300 years into the future to present day Seoul along with his three retainers, they believe that it is their duty to solve the murder case of the Crown Princess in order to return to Joseon. They land in the rooftop apartment of Park Ha, a cheerful woman in her mid-20s, who eventually believes the odd quartet's predicament and becomes their guardian. As Park Ha educates the four on life in the 21st century, Lee Gak comes across Hong Se Na, who seems to be the reincarnation of his wife. Taking on the identity of Yong Tae Yong, Lee Gak slowly begins to unravel the murder of Yong Tae Yong and in turn moves closer to solving the murder case of the Crown Princess. As he finds himself in love with Park Ha, he figures that maybe the Crown Princess was not so perfect after all.

Loved the drama, its funny and cute. The lead couple is cute, this drama was good for the fact that it didn't have excessive crying. My favorite scene was the one on the left, this scene stuck with me, it is really romantic.  Micky is one of my favorite Korean actors, he is amazing in any role he plays, but the other three guys in the drama  are cute too, especially Lee Min Ho ('93). I would totally recomand this drama.

Bachelor's Vegetable Store


Based on a true story of a young man who turned a tiny vegetable store into a nationwide franchise. He struggles trying to achieve his dream of owning his own vegetable store. If that isn't hard enough he is also trying to find his first love.

This drama was really good, I really liked it, It didn't get boring in the middle or near the end like many dramas.  I liked the cast especially the Fresh Men; Ji Chang Wook is cute and hot, I just like that he cries so much.  I'm a huge fan of Lee Kwang Soo he is really funny, and something about him is so likable, I love him on RunningMan, he is an excellent actor I enjoyed his part in the drama. Ji Hyuk I really like (especially as a blonde) and I love Supernova but I didn't really like his character he was kind of weak.  My favorite Fresh Man is Sung Ha, he is so hot, cute, and totally adorable, he's a bad boy on the outside and a shy, nice guy on the inside I just love it. <3

Flower Boy Next Door



A romantic comedy about a girl named Go Dok Mi, a ′city Rapunzel′ who never ventures outdoors, yet has her own set of charms that makes men go weak. She locks her self in her ′tower′ from the world, is caught spying on the man living next door by Enrique Geum. Enrique Geum is a genius creative director, who is good-looking, stylish and bohemian and can′t get enough of soccer. He will form a love line with Go Dok Mi. Go Dok-mi (in Korean, literally "lonely beauty") is a shy, frugal freelance copy editor who, for a yet-to-be-revealed reason, refuses to leave her apartment or interact with people as much as possible. Everyday, she anonymously receives a carton of milk with a post-it attached. Everyday, using a pair of yellow binoculars, she steals peeks at her neighbor across the street, Han Tae-joon as he goes through his daily morning routine. The last time she was outside, in a park on an autumn day, she had fallen in love with Tae-joon at first sight, following him and watching as he picked up a puppy in a box and took it home. When she looked out her window and saw him living in the apartment opposite hers, she thought of it as fate. And with all these new men suddenly entering her life, Dok-mi's solitary and orderly world is turned upside down.


I liked this drama a lot, I am a huge fan of Yoon Shi Yoon, he is an amazing actor. The romance in the drama was also good, I liked the drama between other characters as well not just the leads. The thing about this drama that's different from typical dramas is that the second lead cannot really compete with the main lead, he is not charming, attractive and rich like in typical dramas, we don't have that tug of war with ourselves on who she should choose.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal

Set in Sungkyunkwan University in the late Joseon era during the reign of King Jeongjo, revolving around the exploits and love stories of four youths. When her younger brother's illness worsens and their family is in danger of being evicted from their house for lack of money, Kim Yoon Hee enters the school under his name, disguised as a boy in her desperation to support him. There, she becomes friends with the intelligent and upright Lee Sun Joon, the playboy Goo Yong Ha and rebellious Moon Jae Shin.

Not really into these old style dramas, the thing that I really love about k-dramas is the fashion and historical type dramas don't have that so I'm not really into those types,  but I started watching this drama because Mickey is in it and I love his acting he's really good.   So after watching the first episode I was totally hooked it was really good.   The romance in this drama was awesome and I also enjoyed the bromance.  I'grew come to realize that bromance is really cute in the dramas,  maybe cuts just like the fact that these romantic guys don't exist in our world sometimes I think that true friends don't exist either.  Overall I highly recommend this drama I totally loved it and it doesn't get boring even if it has 20 ep. They are all awesome.

Love Keeps Rolling


It all started when Zha Mei Le was just a little girl; she was care free and not really bright. She overheard her parents agreeing to a divorce and deciding which child should stay with who, both of them didn't want Mei Le, so Mei Le decided to change that. She started doing her best at everything, being well behaved, caring, obedient and even smart! She had tons of certificates, everyone enjoyed to be with her at work, and her boss just admired her hard work. That's how she even met her boyfriend Han Yi Feng; through her kind and caring soul, even his family loved her.. except his brother, Han Yi Lei. Kind hearted Mei Le, was just doing a favor that her boyfriend asked: to pick Yi Lei at the airport, and right from the start, the two of them disliked each other.

But when she finds out the her relationship with Yi Feng, isn't as pure as she thought it was, she finds her self with his brother! See how this drama unfolds, when things begin to heat up!

Weird concept dating a guy, then his brother not my type of "ideal relationship" but it was actually way cute.  I started watching it because of Mike He, his other dramas were awesome so I wanted to see if this one was good as well, and it was great.  It has some sad parts that will make you cry and some funny parts but overall it is really cute.

School 2013

A drama about a high school class, pretty much  the problems the kids in the class face and how they resolve it, and the struggles teachers endure aswell.  This series is an update to the famed 'School Series' which aired from 1999 to 2002. It will focus on portraying realistic issues, struggles and dilemmas of today’s youths. Story about Seungri high, a troublesome school that houses students from the most eligible to the most problematic. 'School 2013' shows different life stories of teachers and students as they grow up through conflicts and compromises
 
I loved this drama it was totally awsome it made me wish I was back in high school.  My favorite part of the drama was the bromance between Nam Soon and Heung Soo.  I also lived Kwak Jung Wook, especially when I was him smile in the Special Episode 17.  Just a little more romance would make the drama even better. 


Cheongdamdong Alice

Han Se-Gyung is a young woman who I s trying her best in life all she wants is to be a designer, she has all the skills but the fact that she is poor keeps her from achieving her goal.  No matter how hard she tries sure cannot escape poverty untill she meets an old classmate she tells her how to get money  quickly and easily.
 
A really good drama, it's romantic and cute sometimes a little confusing with the lead guy having some kind of issues which kinda frustrated me.  I mean it was really cute, funny and interesting in the beginning, is what got me hooked on the show at first and my favorite scene in this drama is the Barbara Strizan scene (whenever i hear that name that's what pops up in my head) but later on its like yeah okay your crazy we got it.   Also I didn't like Geun's character that much she was kinda annoying, but I really liked Yi Hyuk's character especially at the need she was really cool.   The thing about Kim Sung Soo though is that the whole time I was watching this drama I thought he was Park Sang Hoon sine I like Sang Hoon a lot ( although because of this mistake I can not yet say I am a fan :[ ) I was dissapointed when I lster reallized it was not him.

The  cast was amazing especially Mickey, even thought it is a sad drama he is really cute and funny and just over all adorable.  The ending is also very good, even though alot of bad things happened it's not a totally depressing story.

King of Dramas

A drama set on the entertainment business and revolves around the life of Anthony Kim, a brilliant CEO of a drama production company who would do everything and anything for money. Lee Go Eun is an aspiring assistant screenwriter, while Kang Hyun Min is the egoistic and arrogant top star.

King of Dramas was okay, it was nothing special but I liked to see how it works behind the scenes of dramas all the conflicts and problems they may encounter. I didn't really like the leads in this drama they were not cute and interesting. The things that I liked about the drama are Choi Si Wan's character he was really interesting and I like the story line between him and Oh Ji Eun, and the other thing that I liked is the OST for this drama which is Blind For Love sang by Super Junior's Yesung. I totally love this song, one of my favorite OSTs ever.
