Watched Dramas

Dramas Watched Since 2008

• Coffee Prince (Korea) This is The One
• My Name is Kim Sam Soon (Korea) Honestly, I did not get the hype. I later learn to love Kim Sun Ah, but probably due to my incessant watching of Bridget Jones this was just a filler.
• Goong (Korea) Loved it til the ending, which induced a lot of head scratching.
• Boys Over Flowers (Korea) Cracktastic! But also only fun to watch when the whole internet world is watching with you.
• 9 Ends 2 Outs (Korea) I loved Nan Hee but I loved her even more when she was interacting with Hyung Tae.
• Rosy Business (Hong Kong) This drama rekindled my faith in TVB.
• Flowers For My Life (Korea) One of my all-time favourites.
• A Bride for the Ride (Hong Kong) Typical TVB shenanigans.
• My Girl (Korea) Hmmm.... the ending.... but the chemistry was off the charts.
• You're Beautiful (Korea) Soooooo addictive.
• Full House (Korea) Such a BIG waste of time. Thank goodness for the invention of the fast-forward button.
• Bad Family (Korea) Soooooo precious. Where's my righteous gangster uncle?
• City Hall (Korea) The OTP dance segment during the pageant had so much spark flying I thought my computer monitor would catch fire.
• Soulmate (Korea) This was deliciously perfect. And the soundtrack, though I felt sometimes repetitive was awesomesauce.
• The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry (Korea) Dajung, Shinyoung and Buki had such an enviable fantastical friendship.
• Black and White (Taiwan) More, please?
• GTO (Japan) Excuse me while I fill out my teacher's ed application.
• Nodame Cantabile (Japan) Another moving effort from Jdorama-land.
• Dal Ja's Spring (Korea) Kang Tae Bong! Be still my heart. Dal Ja is also my favourite female character ever.... well, tied with Bridget Jones.
• My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (Korea) Too cute to be real or mythical.
• Hana Kimi (Taiwan) If Full House was a BIG waste of time, this was an EPIC vortex to oblivion of no return for my precious viewing time.
• Sungkyunkwan Scandal (Korea) Everything was fine until the ending. But since I watched this following Hana Kimi's blood-spitting non-ending, this ending didn't seem that bad in comparison. Also the first drama in which I experienced heart-wrenching symptoms of second-lead syndrome. Why so moony Moon Jae Shin?
• Hana Yori Dango (Japan) Oguri Shun embodies tall, dark, handsome, mysterious, broody, smexy, and what fantasies are made of. For once in my history with the HYD story I was a Rui-Tsukushi shipper because Oguri Shun was sooooo believable as the better man... or was I simply projecting?
• I'm Sorry I Love You (Korea) Meh... it's alright.
• 49 Days (Korea) This one kept me on my toes from second episode to finishe (the 1st episode bored me to tears...) I also love the ending. Perhaps one of a handful of dramas to not mess up the ending. It didn't feel particularly rush yet it was able to tie up everything in a nice bow. Very good.
• Vampire Prosecutor (Korea) Smexy, smart, slick, with a heaping spoonful of fun and brilliance. Seriously, this is the stuff. Also, my vote for best drama of 2011.
• Flower Boy Ramyun Shop (Korea) This one was burning hot for the start, but then it kind of lulled in the middle, and then came back full throttle. The finale is probably one of the best I've ever seen. So neat and not overly saccharine, nor over-packaged, but just right. Plunger princess FTW!
• Dream High (Korea) This is the worst, the worst stuff to get involved with. It's drama crack, very potent stuff. It gets you addicted, it gets you dehydrated with all the angst, it gets you all cheery and active while trying to mimic the dance moves and giddy throughout your daily life. In essence, you end up binging on junk food while trying to marathon the thing because shits about to get real at school, but this is crack and you're madly addicted to it, so rather than choosing to sensibly revisit the drama at another more convenient time you've holed yourself up in your cell and cry your heart out for these characters (well...mostly for Song Sam Dong).... it's the worst. And Kim Soo Hyun is the best <3
• Shut Up Flower Boy Band (Korea): Probably my favourite drama of 2012....hard to say for sure, but it was definitely jjang! Portrayed growing pains very well.
• Hero (Korea): Okay, scratch that comment above.... this may be my favourite drama of 2012....I think.... the only thing I didn't like about Shut Up was the main actress...but when there's bromance who cares about romance, haha. If The Dark Knight was a drama, this would be it. 
• Queen In-Hyun's Man (Korea): Okay... so 2012 is probably MY drama year. Another stellar drama. Seriously most likely the most romantic thing ever. The One True Pairing to end all OTP. Though I must say the male counterpart contributed more to make this relationship go further than the usual bickering couple. Yoo In-na brought the cute, but Ji Hyun-woo brought perfection to the table like nobody's business. Though Kang Tae-bong will forever be the awesomest awesome loverboy in my heart, Kim Boong-do will hold a special place in my heart as the natural-born player who had the most game =)
• Sunao Ni Narenakute (Japan): Everybody loves Nakaji, and I'm no exception =) Eita+Juri couple are forever enshrined as one of my favourite pairing. They were so natural and made me want them to be a real couple. 
• Answer Me 1997 (Korea): All the best parts were in 1997. That confession scene broke my heart. Shi-won is like my inner fangirl.
• Vampire Prosecutor 2 (Korea): A palpable lack of our Tae-yeon in this second instalment made  me feel detached from the episodes, which were good but could have been great if our prosecutor was more involved. In addition to that, WHY DID JUNG-IN & TAE-YEON'S LOVELINE JUMP OFF THE RADAR FOR MOST OF THE SHOW? Even if Jung-in's acting sometimes annoyed me, this lack of chemistry is not acceptable. All in all, not as good as the first one, but a fine entry in itself. Will probably stick around for the 3rd season just because there's so many loose ends that need to be tied and I still like this Scooby Gang to bits. 
• White Christmas (Korea): Hmmmmm.... never a dull moment this one. Definitely had me on pins and needles from the get-go. An excellent drama.
• Nice Guy (Korea): So satisfying and addictive. Initially I was scared about the melodrama-ness, but it never became too overbearing. Am so in love with Song Joong-ki. 
• School 2013 (Korea): Bromance 4evaaaaa!
• Inbound Troubles (Hong Kong): Best TVB drama in a long time. For once it's not entirely focused on the money or the girl but straight up bromance and friendship.
• I Can Hear Your Voice (Korea): Current 1st place for best drama of 2013. Also #1 mum in all of kdramaland EVER. Seriously, my heart breaks just thinking about her. For once we don't have a Candy heroine, but someone who could exist in real life and bare grudges but remain human. I have So Much love for this drama and the message it sends.
• Buzzer Beat (Japan): That opening sequence....and basically every other episode is a fangirl service bar come true. Really summery & enjoyable.
• Two Weeks (Korea): After I Can Hear Your Voice I totally wasn't ready for more thriller but at the same time I was kind of on a thriller junkie chase (pun not intended). And boy was this one helluva ride. 
• Master's Sun (Korea): This one took a bit to warm up to, but the OTP was there from the get go. Lost a bit of momentum near the end, but still enjoyable. I was on 2nd lead ship from day 1....or maybe I just have a ton of love for Seo In-guk still from his previous awesome 1997 role. 
• Heirs (Korea): Giant snooze fest.... Only for Woobie <3
