well, it's said drama but there are mangas, animes and so on too. mostly these things. they're basically ones that i like a lot so they're mostly recommendations hehe
A medical drama about a man with autistic disorder, who has mentality of 10-year-old, overcomes bias and discrimination by the society and becomes a pediatrician by utilizing his exceptional abilities that the illness brings.
A good medical drama that kept me hooked. It was a little different from what I enjoy. This contains more life experiences and reality but this still got me enjoying the series and what made it even better was the wonderful casting and acting by all the actors. Everyone managed to carve themselves a nice little spot in my heart. sigh Joo won made his character so real with his fabulous acting; it really felt as if he was autistic. It must have been tough maintaining that posture and the little details.
The story was written really nicely and flowed well although it might have felt a little rushed towards the end but nothing so much that made you feel like it was off. The ending was done well and I was satisfied by it. All in all, if you're in the mood to watch something medical and life related, I'd recommend this. Considering its genre, you'd be surprised at how much it makes you laugh too. Enjoy!!!
The true story of a young man who turned a tiny vegetable store into a nationwide franchise and the obstacles he faces.
there have been mixed reviews of this show saying it didn't really stay true to the title but for me, although there was a lot of melodrama, it also had its good points. for me, a show is a success if it doesn't make me quit halfway and not watch again. we might have our moods as to when we want to watch a specific genre and it's all about our own interests and this show, overall, was good for me.
of course, no drama is perfect. they have their own flaws but if we just take it and enjoy it, then it becomes enjoyable and that was what happened for me with this drama. it was a success for me because despite the melodrama, it made me want to continue and see the happy times between our leads, happy times for our bachelors and basically happy times. who wouldn't want a happy ever after. it also made me wonder how it was going to wrap up the story and because of this, the drama was a success. it made me continue watching till the end and although the ending could have been better, i was still satisfied nonetheless.
i'll only recommend this if you can endure melodramas, sadness and all and go for the happy times. it took quite a while in coming, that's my only complaint. other than that, nothin so enjoy!!!
This drama depicts lives of three women who are closing one chapter of their life and entering the next. Lee Shin Young (Park Jin Hee), Jung Da Jung (Uhm Ji Won) and Kim Boo Ki (Wang Bit Na) are three women in their 30s whose romantic relationships have faltered due to their career ambitions, but find themselves given a chance to make a fresh start.
loved it! loved it! loved it! i enjoyed it so much it was a marathon for me, watching this. this doesn't usually happen with other dramas. not only did i enjoy their new relationships with the new guys in their lives, i also loved the friendship the three of them had. this drama showed 3 women with 3 perspectives of their thoughts and none are right or wrong. there's a lot of life lessons to be learned here not just for women but everyone.
there were so many cute and fluffy moments, and yet at the same time, so many moments that made you think, made you feel the tough decisions they had to make and you really felt for them so much that at times, you were in their shoes. it didn't help that the cast were all such fabulous actors. hehehhe they were all wonderful. what also really made me like this drama was that although there were revelations that made you cringe when you thought about when they'd be revealed, but when they were revealed, it was done so gently you didn't feel embarassed or anything, instead i felt gratitude to the writers for how they brought about the revelations. hehhe you can find this on youtube or epdrama. enjoy!!!

Loved it. Totally loved it. Loved the world there, it felt really real and that all this could happen. it didn't feel fake at all. i enjoyed the story, it kept us guessing what was going on, enjoyed the characters who grew as the series progressed, and also enjoyed the two gods. hehehehe it was emotional at times, really touching us. shin min ah and lee jun ki, love youuuu, they were fabulous. i watched it all on epdrama but you can find it on others as well. hope you enjoy this!!!
Story of a man who considers money as the most important thing in life. He becomes involved in a strange conspiracy due to his obsession with money ...
i wasn't sure if i would be blogging about this series as i thought it was so-so. but the fact i'm blogging here means that i enjoyed something about it. the romance was a little late in blooming for me although there were hints early enough. but what really clinched the deal for me was the cast and their interpretation of the role, especially our main lead, ma in tak and his secretary ha in joo. loved them both. ehhehehhe
ma in tak, you'd hate him if you were working under him with all his rude sarcastic remarks. but i loved the way he emphasised his words, his way of talking. really was in tune with his character. the secretary too, loved the way she spoke, her reactions hehehe they were all soo comical.
the story was good for me as well. there might have been some flaws but as it's a drama, i didn't pay much mind. what's more important was for a rom-com, there was surprisingly a good moral story behind it, with family and all and some really sad heartbreaking moments. well i won't say much, just recommending it. you can watch it on youtube i think, with complete eng subs. enjoy!!!
Han Jin Woo, Korea's top medical examiner, leads a team of experts in conducting a medical crime investigation after strange events and mysterious deaths occur in a hospital. He first clashes with but is later aided by Kang Kyung Hee, an attractive female detective who possesses excellent skill in martial arts and a strong sense of justice.
One thing amazing about this drama is the rare diseases they find. And they're real too. Not fake. It's amazing how the people are affected. Of course, this drama might not be for just anyone. It's a medical mystery. hehe
The terms used are also scientific so one might be a little confused although they do explain. But despite all these, what i really enjoyed was the characters here and how well they played their roles especially our lead hero, han jin woo. as the season progresses, he gets even better. i think i'd rewatch this even if it's just for him alone, oh and also detective kang kyung hee. loved her too hehehe
in fact, after watching this, i was so inspired to write about the rare diseases that really got stuck to my mind and i actually wrote one simple article. here's the link. http://sminut13.hubpages.com/_1jvz3d54a9baw/hub/Rare-Disease-Microcephaly
oh and one other thing. the lead actor here, ryu deok hwan, is also acting on 'Faith'. If you don't recognise him, (i didn't at first too until i read somewhere) he's the actor who plays king Gongmin. :D
if you enjoy mystery and medical dramas with really witty humor, and there's loads of that, then be sure to watch this. just google it and you'll find it, i think i watched it on dramacrazy. :) enjoy!!!
The drama is a twist to the well known classic story of The Legend of Chun Hyang. The big question revolving around this plot is what if the one that Lee Mong Ryong loves is not Chun Hyang but Hyang Dan? The drama will deliver a refreshing new comedy style.
this was definitely refreshing. it's different from delightful girl chun yang. it's a drama that'll make you smile but unfortunately, it's only 2 episodes. but despite that, i really enjoyed it. i was wondering how they'd complete this in 2 episodes and am glad to say that i enjoyed every 2 episodes. if you are the type who wants more of reality, then i suggest you skip this as it's not much of that. it's just a change from the depressing reality although there is the topic of class and status here too. another good thing is i found the complete episodes on youtube, full with english subtitles. enjoy!!!
Oguri Shun plays Hyuga Toru, an affluent man whose personality is on the contrary, speckled with flaws. A CEO of an IT firm who is published on Forbes as a billionaire, Toru attained his fortune through chance and pure luck. A woman who meets Toru and eventually becomes attracted to him is Sawaki Chihiro, played by Ishihara Satomi. Chihiro is a hardworking college student at Tokyo University who has prepared for her future as much as she possibly could through studies and obtaining licenses. Despite her efforts, she has yet to land a job. Upon meeting Toru, she begins to unravel a genuine pureness inside him and solitude resulting from such pureness, which eventually draws her closer to him. The two repeatedly conflict each other, but little by little learn about one another to grow and develop together. Despite the worldwide recession and financial difficulties, there are people like Mark Zuckerberg who began work from merely an apartment room or a garage that end up growing to be companies generating over ten billion dollars revenues after merely 10 years or so, embracing their new found wealth by living the dream life. Whether it's a game or application software, Ecommerce, or other IT related firm, there are more than a few who rose in fame to such status in recent years. On the other hand, Japan's unemployment rate for new grads dropped to a record low and those who want to work are unable to, or their wishes to work at their company of choice is not granted. A Cinderella story of the real world. Will the two be able to compromise their values and lifestyles to become a happy couple?
this is a fun to watch romantic comedy, it wasn't enough to fill the void left by gaksital but it definitely was enough to keep me occupied. it's also been long since i last watched a japanese drama so was in the mood for one and found a good one. oguri shun was especially good as that talented programmer, always on the computer.
one thing that i also liked was that it didn't just focus on comedy but also had moral values in it. you'll know and understand once you watch it and find out that hyuga toru can actually surprise you.
well the story's more or less all on the synopsis and you can find the complete episodes on epdrama or dramacrazy. below are some videos so enjoy!!!
This is a unique show with lots of áction and humor'. It's so hilarious while giving you goosebumps at the same time. hehehe Love the cast and now, after 2 years since they first started, they're all veterans already and very experienced hehehe it's amazing how they manage to solve missions at times while we're wracking our brains :D
All in all, a high recommendation from me if you want laughter, fun, excitement and a chance to see celebrity guests everytime. You can find all the eps on epdrama but unfortunately it's not complete as it's still airing. Here are some hilarious clips, Enjoy!!!
Min Soo is a 14-year-old boy who is engaged to a woman 7 years older than him. As he knows that the woman likes another man, he makes a wish so that he can protect his love. As the result of his wish, he becomes a 25-year-old man. Tae Ri is a well-educated woman who comes from a wealthy family. After being hurt by her first love, she doesn't believe in love anymore. But, as Min Soo suddenly appears before her, she starts to have feelings for him...
When I first started watching this, I thought it was quite an old or rather, not really a new drama, because of the quality i have to admit. but while browsing through the internet one day, i saw one of the advertisements showing a featured drama, and it seemed to be this particular title.
i immediately went to check it out and oh lordie, this was actually a really new drama. yea i know, being old or new doesn't really make much difference, so long as the drama is good.
but it definitely does, when you are really enjoying the drama, and you can't watch it in one shot, instead having to keep waiting for updates. man, that totally sucks. but fortunately, this drama was nearly complete so i didn't have to wait long and it was worth it too.
loved the drama, it had bits of fantasy with the kid growing up to be an adult. usually when we see so much of a difference between our characters, there's this feeling that oh she's too old or he's too young, but that wasn't the case for this.
although there was a difference, they pulled it off nicely, and tae ri was such a refreshing character. she was surprisingly innocent and showed really great expressions. both of them looked really good together in my opinion although i read some posts where they felt the age gap but it was not so for me.
i could see the adoration the male lead had for tae ri and vice versa. theirs was such a sweet and innocent love. for me, i felt that they had done more with the ending although it was a good end. but i guess i just wanted to see a hug after such a long reunion hehehe but i guess everyone has different feelings and ideas.
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. 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.
this is one of those dramas that made me keep wanting for me, that made me wish that it was longer. even now, i'm still reeling from the after effects of the drama, i keep missing it and always listen to its osts, which are fabulous as well. i have 2 personal favourites which i'm sharing below,
there was so much chemistry, the plot moved forward so fluently, i even felt like oh yea, this is all possible if you just believe. it was so touching and till the end, it made me wonder how this show is going to end, there were still twists even till the end, my heart was literally coming out of mouth. i had to close my mouth and breathe deeply to put it back.
i loved how our male lead was so clever and witty while our female lead was more of a clutz and ditzy but still very lovable despite that. it didn't feel annoying at all. she portrayed her sad roles so well, it was so painful to watch, her crying was so sad and touching. our male lead expressed his emotions wonderfully too without much words.
sighhhhh and oh boy, did i swoon, you can say i'm now a fan of this actor after this series and you can be sure that i'll be checking out some of his shows which i feel i might enjoy hehehe
from my earlier posts, you will know that all my drama recommendations are all complete, with english subs, so it's the same for this, hope you enjoy!!! ...as a side note, loved this 2 osts, enjoy!!!
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.

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...
i haven't watched such a cute, fluffy drama in a long time seriously and this was one of those that made me keep grinning throughout the show. but it was really sad as well. although i felt that maybe the ending might have been better, but since i'm just enjoying myself, i made do with my own deductions and made myself happy with my own thoughts hehehe enjoy !!!
Hwang Tae Hee is the daughter of a chaebol and team leader at her workplace. She is married to Bong Joon Soo who works at the same company.

Tae Hee has to juggle her challenges in love with those in work, helping shape her boss and department director, Goo Yong Shik, from an insensitive and uninterested second generation chaebol to a true leader. Tae Hee's seeming success in love, however, presents her with another problem as she begins to realize that marriage involves just as many obstacles to overcome.
hmm...it has been some time since i finished watching this and i didn't write about it immediately because i was busy starting to watch other dramas that had caught my eye. i was in k drama land then. even now, as i'm writing this i'm still watching something, it's just that i've paused it for now. in fact, after watching this show, i completed another 2 dramas and am in the midst of almost completing this show right now. thus my delay in writing about these wonderful dramas that i've watched and enjoyed. i bet there'll be a gap after some time again though.
as the description goes, this drama is more of office love and all, but it managed to get my attention throughout the whole series, i especially loveed yong shik's love for tae hee, and somehow, instead of hating joon soo, i actually felt for him at times. even baek yeo jin made me think twice about her and i definitely liked her in the second half of the show. i even hoped that she'd be with that police man guy,(he was quite confident and arrogant) but she did love joon soo so there were mixed feelings. but all in all, it was a wonderful show that made me swoon when i saw tae hee and yong shik together. hehehe well enjoy, you can just google this and you'll find links to the show. it's all complete and online, with english subs.

My heart is bleeding after watching this. The aftereffect is really bad this time. sighhh In short, this series was awesome. It was intense so much and I was always anticipating the next scene. It was so sad as well, the king was especially awesome. In fact, all the cast were awesome. Young chae yoon really left an impression on me. He portrayed his role fabulously. I'm not going to babble much after this, so I'm just going to recommend this series and hope that you'll enjoy it. Here's a bit of sneak peek for you. well that or you can consider it a spoiler hehehe enjoy!!!
500 years ago in the Joseon Dynasty. The Pipe of the prophecy has fallen into the evil hands of the goblins, propelling the world into a whirlwind of disorder. The ancient Taoist wizards turn to the greatest ascetics of their time, the Master (Baek Yoon-sik) and Hwadam (Kim Yoon-seok) for help in vanquishing the goblins and trust each wizard with one half of the Pipe. Meanwhile, the Master’s rascal student Jeon Woochi (Kang Dong-won) tricks the king with the art of transformation and creates a fiasco, which makes the three Taoist wizards and Hwadam visit the Master. But they find the Master murdered and his half of the Pipe missing. Woochi is framed for the murder, and as punishment he and his trusty dog Chorangyi (Yoo Hae-jin) are imprisoned inside a scroll by the wizards. Seoul, 2009. For some strange reason, goblins that had been sealed up in the past begin to appear one by one, wreaking havoc on the city. The three Taoist wizards had been enjoying their years of retirement as a priest, a monk, and a shaman, while Hwadam has long disappeared in order to polish his Taoist art. After much discussion, the three wizards unseal the scroll and call forth Jeon Woochi and Chorangyi. Being offered freedom in return for catching the goblins, Woochi sets out on his task. But what began as a hunt for goblins slowly turns into Woochi's personal sightseeing expedition of the modern-day world. And to top it off, he meets a woman with the same face as the one that had captivated him so many centuries ago (Im Soo-jung). Together with Seo In-kyung (his new, yet old love), Woochi begins his adventure.
well as you can see, this is more if a fantasy action, fusion mixed historical drama. no idea what to call it hehe what i really enjoyed most about this movie was the special effects. when woochi used his powers, it didn't look fake at all, it was so powerful it left me whoaaaa. also it was hilarious as hell. especially when i saw the true faces of the goblins. pfft... you'll know when you watch it hehe enjoy this.

Princess Seryeong, a daughter of King Sejo, aka prince Sooyang, is a cheerful, lively lady with a strong curiosity and bold personality. They fall in love instantly but later they find out that their parents are sworn enemies.
Recently, I've been into historical period dramas, although of course more for the personal stories it has rather than the political happenings. ehhehe I only started watching this recently because i dislike having tragedies usually, i don't like crying. but despite that, i decided to watch it because it seemed to have a good romance story and a lot of action. and i'm glad that i decided to go for it cos i enjoyed it tremendously.
All the characters really got to me, the villainous and yet fatherly, suyang, the pitiful shin myeong, the cheerful jong, the proud princess gyung hye, the mischievous and later vengeful seung yu, the strong and kind se ryung, their maids, friends and everyone. the chemistry was amazing between the leads and even the supporting casts.
i teared up some parts, i swooned at some parts, i cussed at some parts but in the end, the drama kept me wanting for more and i was fully satisfied with how it ended although of course, there were some who were not satisfied.
this is the first show of the male lead that i'm watching and although at first, he was ok for me, he really grew on me. it's not everyone who can show their feelings well but he did it so well just through their eyes.
but i'm the type who just enjoys a drama while watching and don't think of any other things or think too deeply. it's just a drama anyway. but oh how wonderful this one was. my hunger for historical romance periods hasn't waned yet so i'll be watching some more and there are many on my list to watch.
this is a definite recommend from me, you can find it complete on youtube, although there are some parts that are missing or doesn't work. then you can just google the episodes, there are many links out there, one is dramacrazy, i view on their wat link. enjoy!!!
below are two of my favourite osts for the show. love it. enjoy!

well as usual, initially, i was a little skeptical of this drama as we don't see much paranormal asian dramas. i thought it'd kind of get cheesy but oh no, i was proven wrong time and again as i kept watching and watching and watching.
this was actually put together so well, all the story coming back to a circle and being linked, it surprised me when i found out about it. of course, there were plots that were predictable but there were also twists that kept surprising me.
the cast was amazing, their team was amazing and the ending was amazing! what more can i say? the camaraderie between our prosecutor and his teddy-like police friend hehehe, the dancing around between our leads, the villains themselves and even the murder plots, they were fantastic.
now i totally can't wait for season 2. hellow heaven!!!
here's hoping this will be even better, comes out faster so that all us vamp junkies can get addicted even more!!!
...ok well, this is all complete and online on youtube with english subs. you can also find it on dramacrazy. and if the links don't work, my advice is to google each and every episode and go for the link that will work cos that's what i do. best of luck:D and enjoy!

one of the most amazing and tear wrenching dramas i've watched so far. mann my heart nearly shattered from all the heart wrenching scenes here. of course, there were really sweet and funny scenes as well. i especially loved the ngs(no good takes hehe)
this series had everything in it. angst, drama, happiness, comedy, sadness, you name it, they had it. and most of them were already in the first few episodes.
all the characters were deep, even the supporting cast. loved it. my only wish was that they could have made the ending even better than this. sighhh but all in all,if you want to see something sweet and true with some amazing soundtracks and ost, i will definitely give this a huge up.
vaness wu and ady an were amazing as ren guang xi and liang mu cheng. their little kid, xiao le in the drama, was cute and amazing. tht was amazing acting from someone so young. the supporting were really amazing. i loved guang xi's mother too especially as her character matured later on. she portrayed her really well,and the rare times, we saw her smile, it was beautiful. although liang mu cheng was really simple and wore simple clothes, it made us feel for her with her sacrifices although at times, i jus wished that she could be a little more selfish rather than just thinking about everyone.
basically,i just loved the story. i watched this immediately when my computer was turned on. the drama is complete and online with english subs on youtube so enjoy people.
