Favorite Drama’s
~Just a few of my favorites, so if you find yourself in a spot of not knowing what to watch…check these out!~ (Some on this list I haven't completed yet.)
Scarlet Heart Ryeo~ Lee Joon Gi and IU: I have watched this drama, no lie 6 times and it still hurts everytime I watch it. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself… Oh yeah.. Lee Joon Gi as Wang So, that’s why. ( @ashes-of-elysian ) right?
Just You~ Aaron Yan (Taiwanese): This is another drama I can just keep watching… I find the story cute and I love the characters.
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon~ Park Hyung Sik: I fell in love with this drama because of the chemistry between the two leads. Hyung Sik is just so extra and lovable. A+++ drama.
Love Rain~ Jang Geun Suk and Yoona: It’s cute, fun and has many heart warming moments. and I love Yoona.
Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo~Nam Joo Hyuk: Adorable from start to finish, although when you’re finished you really wanna say “SWAG” a lot.
Whirlwind Girl~ Yang Yang:( Chinese) China is infamous for making brutal and heart-wrenching dramas. This one is no different. The main lead gets beat down constantly and somehow keeps getting back up. I must love to suffer because I really liked it.( Martial Arts Drama)
The Scholar Who Walks The Night~ Lee Joon Gi: Vampires, bloody fights and a hint of romance. Not too shabby.
Fabulous Boys~( Taiwanese version of You’re beautiful) Jiro Wang: I liked this version better than the Korean one. The actors meshed better and the female lead was warm. I liked that.
Fight My Way~ Park Seo Joon: LOVED THIS DRAMA. Funny, charismatic and dynamic. First love and friendship.
Bong Soon: Cyborg in love~ Cho Kyuhyun: Okay this drama, The story was good though the writers pushed it so fast. How can you fall in love with characters when the episodes were only 15 minutes long? Luckily my bias was the main male lead and I would watch him in anything. He saved this drama.
School 2017~Kim Jung Hyun: YES YES YES! Finally a high school drama without a grossly forced love triangle. I loved this drama from the first episode.
The King Loves~ Hong Jong Hyun: At first, I was bored with this drama. I disliked the main male lead and it was following the same lines as many other drama’s, an intense love triangle and the ever so popular plot of let’s see how much we can drive the second male lead in the dirt. But as the story progressed I saw something that I hadn’t seen before… the main female lead showing more interest in the second male lead?????? WHAT? I was instantly intrigued and have been hooked on every episode since. Plus Hong Jong Hyun…is pretty easy on the eyes.
I hear your voice~ Lee Jong Suk.: I loved the sweetness of this drama. Although most dramas Lee Jong Suk plays in is good. Except for W what the hell happened there?
LoveO2O~Yang Yang: this drama is a geeky mix of romance and gaming… I mean how can you not like that???
She was Pretty~ Park Seon Joon and Choi Siwon: I wouldn’t want to be the leading lady in this drama? I mean lordy.. having to choose between Siwon or Seo Joon? I would die….
SO here are a few. I like them… so yeah.
If he shows up in a drama you know it’s about to be lit.
sweet confessions by a drunk young joon
One Year of KDRAMA - 2016
”The things I like:
High places, first snow, small hands, white blankets, those strands of hair. The sound of his shutter, large hands, smiling eyes, large embrace.”
My 2 cents worth on Kdramas
So, earlier this year (2018) my 12-year-old granddaughter turned me on to Kdramas.
Started out with ‘Boys over Flowers’ in January and we’re still arguing about which one of the guys Jan-Di should have ended up with….Gu Jun-Pyo or Yoon Ji-Hoo. Since I’m a sucker for the whole Soul Mate thing (been married to my own soul mate for over 30 years) and Ji-Hoo became my favorite right from the start, I actually wasn’t too happy with the way things turned out in the end.
But that’s all beside the point and the only thing that matters is that it only took this one series to get me completely and absolutely “hooked” on Kdramas.
Since Kim Hyun Joong became my first favorite as Ji-Hoo, I started looking up other parts he starred in and came across 'Inspiring Generation’. Wow! What a difference! The character of Shin Jung-Tae is just about as opposite of Ji-Hoo as it can possibly get. But I guess that’s what makes a truly great actor, and Kim Hyun Joong was simply amazing playing the part….even though it bothered me to see that handsome face getting beat up way too much.
But then it was also 'Inspiring Generation’ where I found what would become my next favorite…Song Jae Rim, in the character of Mo Il-Hwa.
I can’t quite pinpoint what it was that endeared me to that part, but of course I had to once again look for other Kdramas, featuring Song Jae Rim. And that’s when I came across 'Moon embracing the Sun’ with Song Jae Rim as the King’s swordsman, Woon.
Absolutely loved Jae Rim in that part and still do, even after having watched the entire series about a dozen times by now. I also liked Song Jae Rim in 'Goodbye Mr. Black’, even though his wasn’t a main character role, but didn’t care much for the part of a hitman/killer Mr. Kim he played in 'Two Weeks’ since I really don’t like my favs playing “bad guys”. Of course, watching 'Two Weeks’ made me find another new favorite…Lee Joon Gi
Okay, so I just said I don’t like my favs playing “bad guys”, but the main character, Jang Tae-San, isn’t really a bad “bad guy” and if that story doesn’t tear up your heart, then you better check if you still have one.
I actually had to do something I usually NEVER do…about half-way through the series I had to watch the final episode to see how it turns out, just so my old nerves could take watching the rest of the story. Yeah, I know…terrible, isn’t it? Don’t worry, I got more than an earful about it from my granddaughter, and I promise to never do it again! ;)
But while I thought that it could not possibly get any better than Lee Joon Gi’s performance in 'Two Weeks’, I quickly found out that I was wrong when I watched 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo’ next. OH, MY…!!! Not only is Joon Gi with long hair pure eye-candy (to me at least), but he absolutely nailed the part of Prince Wang So.
Ladies, how many of you were ready to strangle Wang So’s mother with your bare hands. I definitely was! And what’s the big deal about that scar? I guess it’s because Princes had to be “perfect”, but come on… Scars are just proof that you were stronger than whatever or whoever it was that tried to kill you. And apparently back then the phrase “chicks dig scars” was unheard of. And also apparently I’m not the only one who wasn’t happy at all with the way the story ended, considering there are numerous fan videos on YouTube with different, happier endings. I got more than just a little upset with Hae Soo for leaving Wang So. How could she not see that he was trying his best to NOT become some blood-thirsty tyrant??
Anyway, after only about 3 days of some serious editing work, the final episode in my own DVD collection of 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo’ has a much happier ending now…many thanks to Daria Zyuzina who created the wonderful fan video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj0r9zE5Le8) where Wang So finds Hae Soo in the future. And like so many other fans, I’m also still hoping for a Season 2 with this kind of scenario.
On another note to 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo’… aside from the despicable character of Queen Yoo (Prince Wang So’s mother, who treats him like s**t), my other least-favorite character is Prince Wang Yo (Wang So’s biological brother, and also a son of Queen Yoo). However, while I hated the character, actor Hong Jong Hyun did an excellent job portraying the mean, spiteful, conniving 3rd Prince. But if you’re like me, you would much more enjoy seeing Hong Jong Hyun in the role of Wang Rin in 'The King in Love’
or, even better, as Seo Chan Hwi, the vice-commander of the Royal Guard in 'Jeon Woo Chi’
(that is, if you can get into things like wizards and magic and tolerate some occasionally slightly over-done special effects of people flying through the air and such…BUT at least in 'Jeon Woo Chi’ ONLY the wizards have that ability, unlike in some of the Chinese dramas where seemingly anybody can have such super-human abilities…if you ever watched 'General and I’, you might understand what I’m talking about… I couldn’t make it past a trailer that had a fight scene between Chu Beijie and He Xia, but that’s just me, I guess).
As far as wizards and magic are concerned, however, I did very much enjoy the ones in 'Mirror of the Witch’ aka 'Secret Healer’ and my favorite character there ended up being the Taoist Yo Gwang, played by Lee Yi Kyung.
Don’t ask me why, I just found him adorable (maybe because he was so awkward, dealing with the girl Soon Deuk who clearly has a crush on him). SPOILER ALERT – 'Mirror of the Witch’ has a rather bitter-sweet ending!
I want to get back to Lee Joon Gi for a moment since I just finished the 'Lawless Lawyer’ series….which is an excellent nail-biter and I had to seriously restrain myself NOT TO watch the final episode first again. If you’ve seen it, tell me is it just me or did you think too that Joon Gi looked too skinny in that series? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying at all that he looked “bad” in any way and his performance was awesome as usual…I just felt that he looked like he’d lost a whole bunch of weight and “celebrity life” was taking its toll on him. Kind of worries me, because I would definitely like to see him in many more future performances.
I still have some Lee Joon Gi binge-watching left over for now, since the only other movies and series I made it through so far were 'Iljimae’, 'Arang and the Magistrate’, 'Gunman in Joseon’ and of course 'The King and the Clown’ (which was way too sad for my taste). But most likely 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo’ will always be my absolute favorite and I’ll keep hoping for a 2nd season…even though that will probably just remain wishful thinking for myself and many others, but we can always hope, right?
Some of my other favs I’d like to mention would be Kwak Dong Yeon as swordsman Kim Byung-Yeon in 'Moonlight drawn by Clouds’ aka 'Love in the Moonlight’
and he also played an excellent part as young Shin Jung-Tae in 'Inspiring Generation’.
Then there is Seo In Guk for his outstanding performances as Prince Gwang-Hae in 'The King’s Face’
and also as Lee Hyun / David Lee in 'I Remember You’ aka 'Hello Monster’.
An excellent yet unfortunately somewhat overlooked performance of Kim Jae Young as Moo-Yeon in ‘100 Days my Prince’
And last (for now) but certainly not least is Jung Il Woo whose sad role as Prince Yang-Myung in 'Moon embracing the Sun’ cost me plenty of tissues,
but required even more of them in 'The Return of Iljimae’ (even though it has a happier ending for Jung Il Woo’s character)
I’ll probably get “yelled at” for saying this, but I honestly have a hard time deciding whom I liked better…Lee Joon Gi as Iljimae in 'Iljimae: The Phantom Thief’, or Jung Il Woo as Iljimae in 'The Return of Iljimae’. (Sorry, Joon Gi, but be assured that you’ll still always be my #1 fav).
So, thanks to my granddaughter, back to some more binge-watching…hey, I got to blame someone else for things not getting done around the house, right? ;)

The Signs as Kdrama Tropes
Aquarius: Amnesia - Yes, not of the best sorts of Kdrama tropes but does it further the story. How can any Kdrama love interest know how much they love the other without a bit of SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS?
Pisces: Piggy back ride - can come in many forms, sometimes the carrier has to carry a love interest home drunk or someone has somehow lost or destroyed their shoes. Creates a good amount of skinship for a broody couple that are not ready to express their feelings yet.
Aries: Cinderella Story - Some even have it in the title. A poor girl and a rich love interest and their social clashes that teach you it’s not about the money but the HEART. It usually includes evil mothers and a extreme makeover with shopping montage! Nothing better!
Taurus: Friends to Lovers - A very lovely backdrop for a very lovely relationship. Sometimes in a drama its nice to have that friendship basis so they have the internal struggle of liking their best friend; A basis for most of the Reply series, it’s makes amazing kdramas.
Gemini: The much needed, overly long first kiss - An extreme theme of most old and new kdramas. Not a lot of dramas dare to be a bit risky, especially with a younger cast but it creates an endearing lovable couple. But, the kiss has lasted 2 minutes of slow-mo maybe… hurry up?
Cancer: The classic “Back Hug” - Even better if its a “Don’t go” kind-of-hug. A Kdrama isn’t a Kdrama if there isn’t at least one of these bad boys in the mix. DON’T GO!
Leo: Enemies to Lovers - a much needed juxtapostion to the friends-to-lovers trope. It creates drama and tension that makes even more tension and starts a tsundere male lead everyone hates to love. Angsty arguements and dramatic kisses, who could ask for more? Sometimes even comes with a side of a nicer, gentler secondary lead… who do you choose?
Virgo: Forced to Live together/Cohabitation - A personal favourite. What could go wrong when two attractive people are forced to live together? Literally nothing, all they can do is get closer and become domestic. DOES THAT NOT SOUND LIKE THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD?
Libra: Gender-Bending - creates SO MUCH TENSION. The main love interest having to fight with having gay thoughts about their feminine looking (very easy to tell female) male counterparts? Creates a good WATCH
Scorpio: Supernatural romance - Who doesn’t love a mysterious one in the couple? Hooded with secrets and amazing skills, you see true love with they trust their love interests with their life. Also, absolutely always attractive.
Sagittarius: Noona romance - some look at these and instantly think they are a little odd but its far from it. Wiser ladies who are absolutely stunning with a lively love interest that prefers an older woman? Quality content.
Capricorn: Accidental relationships - Whether it’s accidental drunken marriage, other kinds of relations (Maybe a bit to risque - Fated to Love You as an example) two people can’t do much other than get closer and create a funny story for their grandchildren later on in life.

2016-Mid 2017 favorite kdramas list.
Have in mind that this list only contains the dramas I completed and liked.
2016
As we all know, 2016 was till this day the best year for kdramas.
ROM/COMs:
Lucky romance: I really liked the character of the main lead since he’s not that stereotypical perfect dude on his white horse. The chemistry between the leads was awesome but I had higher expectations for the ending.
Weightlifting fairy Kim Bok Joo: I can’t express my love for this drama. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. Definitely on my TOP 5 kdramas.
Jealousy incarnate: The drama was good overall even thought I think they dragged it a little bit too much. Perfect to watch when you are bored. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very good drama, it’s just that I’ve seen better.
Another Oh Hae Young: It’s was savage. Can’t say more. Actually yes, Savage and sexy !
Drinking solo: I’m not really into these kind of dramas. I liked all the stories beside the main lead’s tbh.
Cinderella and the four knights: Cute…Cute and Hella Cute..
MELO/ ROM/COM:
Uncontrollably fond: A VERY OVERWHELMING DRAMA…Grab some tissues for every single episode. It’s a roller coaster mates..
My wife’s having an affair this week: A very mature drama. I enjoyed and learned a lot from it.
HISTORICAL/ ROM:
Moon lovers: Don’t GET ME STARTED ON THIS ONE PLEASE…I WON’T SHUT UP *Start crying*
ACTION/ ROM/COM:
Descendants of the sun: I don’t know why I don’t talk about this drama a lot. It’s definitely one of those that deserve their fame.
The K2: It’s soo not the best kdrama Ji chang wook was in, but it was great anyways. I blame it on the plot development but the acting was great.
FANTASY/ ROM/COMs:
W-Two worlds: Don’t kill me, but it’s the only drama I liked of Lee Jong Suk along with I can hear your voice.
Let’s fight ghost: I was really not expecting to like this drama. Turned out it was very good. Awesome plot, character development, acting skills and great main leads chemistry.
Goblin: I was really into it when I was watching it, and was ready to make it on my TOP 5 but…I don’t know now…
YOUTH/ DRAMA:
Age of youth: I’m so glad I decided to watch this drama. Everyone should watch it imo ! It’s very eye opening.
2017
ROM/COMs:
Fight for my way: I really think it will be the best drama of 2017. It was very realistic, and the leads chemistry was everything. I can’t believe people complained about it having to much kissing scenes *Laughing emoji* WTH..
Suspicious partner: I was specially into the female lead’s strong will and personality. They could have worked better on the romance but well…
Tomorrow with you: Veeeeery cringy. But good cringy LOL. Cute cringy if you want.
Strong woman Do Bong Soon: Kinda reminded me of weightlifting fairy Kim Bok Joo. In a good way. The leads were the definition of cute and they both portrayed the characters excellently.
ACTION/ MYSTERY/ THRILLER :
Defendant: I just wanted to say that I love JI SUNG a lot. He’s precious.
Circle: That was complex, mind blowing and very tense ! I demand S2.
(BONUS) Secret forest: I’m only on the 10th episode and man, I donno what I’ll do with my life when I’ll finish it.
