MY KDRAMAS ARCHIVES
YEAR2006
→ Name(s): Full House
→ Genre: romance, work life, comedy
→ Review : My first full korean drama in I watched on my own. (I have watched parts of Winter Sonata with my bro but it doesn't count). Tried Full House to be the first because it received good feedbacks on an anime-based site (mononoké tracker).
The classic quartet romance is well-portrayed here. Bi rain's acting is as fine as his body. Song Hye Kyo is such a great and charming actress. I don't have a lot of memories of the other 'rivals' but there are sure good casts. The drama's lenght is surprisingly long, I didn't pay attention to all the dialogues going on.
My favourite memorie of this drama is unquestionably the Three bear song, it is often used on parodies and I used it as ringtone for a while.
Recommended.

→ Name(s): Goong
→ Genre: romance, school life, comedy, slice of life
→ Review : This drama definitively stucked me with the korean dramas. The cast is great, young and talented. It isn't the typical school drama, nor the luxurious kind, but a Korean royal Cinderella-like drama. It is new for me, who was more used to see the Romeo&Juliet type series.
Yoon Eun Hye was very into her character, and Joo Ji hoo is indeniabely hot. But I felt for the cute Yuu (Kim Jung Hoon).
There were so many cult moments/memories: the teddy bear collection/museum, the tofu doll, the first kiss...
I envy Shin Chae-kyeong's lifestyle. (her room especially!) She is so hilarous during all the drama. A definetively must-watch.

→ Rating (out of 5): ★★★ - DROPPED
→ Name(s): My name is Kim Sam-Soon
→ Genre: comedy, romance, work life
→ Review : An high rated drama.But unfortunally, I can't seem to find all the episodes online, nor on downloading, so on-hold. Finally dowloaded all the episodes, it was pretty hard to find it still avalaible.

→ Name(s): My Girl
→ Genre: work life, romance, comedy, slice of life
→ Review : The first episodes of the drama was quite good. Frustation, pity and envy were the emotions the viewers must have felt, but it spinned out too long. Lee Dong Wook wasn't the best actor and Lee Da Hae (well 's character, it wasn't her fault) annoyed me with her typical korean reactions. But I got to know Lee Junki, it didn't dissapoint me at all. I became addictive to him (his movies/dramas) after this.

→ Name(s): Coffee prince
→ Genre: comedy, romance, work life, friendship, gender blender
→ Review : I was greatly recommended this by a friend. And it didn't dissapointed me at all. There is the quartet romance schema but the drama's comedy ambiance prevailed over the 'romance fights'.
The cast is awesome! Yoo Eun hye has never been so nice as a tomboy, and Gong Yoo is hot though in his thirties.
The crew members Hong Gae Sik, Sun Ki (following his works), Ja Rim and Min Yeop (may Lee Un RIP) gave me great laughs.
I got to learn some tips of coffee realisations, although this isn't my favourite beverage. Must-watch & all-time favourite.

→ Name(s): Unstoppable Marriage
→ Genre: sitcom, comedy, work life, romance, family
→ Review : Watched the drama first because of Lee Jaejin being in the cast. It has a great comedy ambiance but the subbing fansub could catch with the hundred episodes (it is a sitcom - so everyday, one 20-lenght episode) so I slowly stopped watching.
→ Rating (out of 5): ★★★ - DROPPED
→ Genre: romance, drama, work life, slice of life
→ Review : I watched like the first half of the drama but gave up due to it super lenght which seems an eternity. But I loved Kangta's acting. The OST were great too, Loveholic (the group) became one of my favourite artists.

→ Genre: family, comedy, gangster, family, romance, slice of life
→ Review : This drama was a great surprise. I didn't except to finished it, because I usually watched dramas with good looking guys or young cast. (well there were Heechul). Nam Sang Mi and Kim Myung Min were such great actress/actor.
I had an insight look of the average locals' lifestyle. And the fakeness of the relationships were ridiculous, yet bonds were created out of it. Recommended.

→ Name(s): Time between a dog and a wolf
→ Genre: police, romance, drama, action, family, slice of life
→ Review : I don't like the only-action-type drama, nor the passive-scenes-plot. To my likings, this drama has both actions and awesome plot. I shall had the hottness Lee Junki in it, one more reason to watch this drama.
The story is almost flawless: it involves an impossible romance, a blinding revenge and difficult underground/mafia issues.
Nang Sam Mi's character was pityful as much as Lee Junki's ones. I felt frustrated all the time, and even more at the ending. But I think it was the best like this. An all-time favourite! Recommended, for both girls & guys.

→ Name(s): Beethoven Virus
→ Genre: musique, comedy, romance, slice of life
→ Review : I got aware of this drama because it wasd nicknamed the Korean version of Nodame Cantabile, which is one of my all-time favourites. But it has almost nothing to do with it, besides its classical music background. This is why Korean dramas are renowed for it uniqueness in turning the characters so lively.
The plot is addicting and Kim Myun Min's character is astoundingly good because of it uniquess. Du Ru Mi was annoying (because being blinding by the old Gun Woo and rejected the young Gun Woo D:) yet pitiful as the story went on. Thumb up to the OST, I grew on addiction to 'Can you hear me?' sang by Taeyong.

→ Genre: comedy, romance, friendship, slice of life
→ Review : Drama within a drama. This is the definition of this story. Such a amazing plot. It was so nice to see how a drama was made out, how much efforts it takes to make a single scene which would turned to last a few seconds on the final product.
The comeback of Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin on the little screen may have dissapointed some, but I think they are perfect as they are.
Unfortunaly the drama was underrated.
→ Rating (out of 5): ★★★★
→ Name(s): Boys Over Flowers
→ Genre: comedy, romance, friendship, school life, slice of life
→ Review : One of the most popular drama in Asia ever. The realisation of every girl inner dream. That's BOF or BBF or HYD or whatever. I watched the Japanese version in 2006 and 2007 and liked it very much. The Korean remake went beyond my expectations. Gorgeous cast (F4), glamorous landscapes, little of comedy and load of romantism. I fangirled over Lee Minho, Kim Jung Hyoon and Kim Kimbum all the drama time, and rapper Kim Joon never failed to make me laugh with his unique lines during the long one-hour drama. Female cast is also gorgeous: discovered the talented Goo Hye Sun and Ga Eul.
The mean mother was perfect for the role, and i actually think she played the best among all the version.
The OST was okay at the beginning (ballad-pop-instrumentals), but only a few songs always came over and over.
The best version of the Japanese manga, according to me. A cult drama.

→ Name(s): Shining inheritance
→ Genre: comedy, romance, work life, drama
→ Review : I was recommended this during summer and watched the beginning despite the load of dramas I needed to finished. The 'inheritance dispute' wasn't a theme i was keen on, but it turned out beautifully intrigued that I watched episode after episode and finished the whole in 2-3weeks time. (it's a record for me!).
Lee Seung Gi was way before playing in the drama, one of my favourite guy (thanks to 1N2D) and I found Han Ji hoo very gorgeous (especially liked her hair). They played well despite being newbies in the field.
The whole drama gives us mixed feelings of frustation/unfairness and pity. The family bond is always reconsidered and the barriers between love and friendship is very thin too. Morals of worth are slowly illustrated.
A nice dramatic-romantical drama to watch with your family.
