dramas

I’ve been an avid fan of Asian dramas, so I want to make the list of the dramas I’ve watched, and I will try to write each review of it...

Dramas and my rating :
K-Dramas :
( Source : Drama Wiki )

1% of Anything / 1% chance of love [3] - slow, but bearable. Love the couples. Good chemistry.
18 vs 29 [3]-funny.
9 ends 2 out[3,5] - turned I like it. Aih. I wish I had male best friends. They are useful when you need them…
All About Eve [5]-and the Jang Dong Gun craze begun. All time favorite. But that’s just MY opinion!
Autumn Shower [2] - watched because Oh Ji Ho. And disappointed. So boring. How could you betray your dying wife? So you’re lonely. But..still.
Bad Couple [3.5]- LOVE it!! I wish I can get my own Gi Chan! :p
Bad Family [3,5] - I never thought it was good!
Bad Housewife [3] - The kid is cute. The story is funny. Nothing special, but it can make you laugh..
Be Strong Geum Soon [4] - very recommended! it’s long, but really worth watching..
Bodyguard [2,5]
Capital Scandal [3,5] -fun. entertaining. unexpected pleasing! I need more this kind of comedy!
Coffee Prince [5] - ADDICTED. period.
Cloud Stairway [3] - just so so, with flaws here and there. But Shin Dong Wook is cute.
Fantasy Couple [4] - Oh Ji Ho again! :p but satisfied this time. Hilarious!!!
Dae Jang Geum [4] - it’s phenomenal must watch serial. Caution : The dishes make you drool!
Dal Ja’s Spring [3,5] - other style of Chae Rim. Very good, entertaining!
Delightful Girl / Sassy Girl, Choonhyang [3] - funny! like it for Jae Hee and the ‘ajusshi’ Uhm Tae Wong.
Exhibition of Fireworks [2,5] - watched for Kang Ji Hwan of Geum Soon. Bit boring though.
Fashion 70’s [3,5] - Like the setting, and just another proof that I am shallow, I like it most because of the male casts. Joo Jin Moo and Chun Jung Myung.
Four Sisters [3] - one of the old drama which is good.
Full House [3,5] - funny, with a little bit irrational scenes.
Goong [3] - for me it’s overrated. Good, but not THAT good. Love the teddy bears.
Get Karl, Oh Soo Jung! [2] - Like the first half, then went downhill. disappointed.
Happy Together [2,5] - full [now] famous star. Story, bit boring.
Hello! Miss [2,5] - fun at the beginning, dragging at the end.
Homicide Investigation Team ( HIT ) [3.5] - Like it!!!!
Hotelier [2,5] - overrated! heehehe, don’t like BYJ, on personal reason.
How to Meet the Perfect Neighbor [3] - well, well..I have mixed feeling on this. Generally speaking, not bad, but not highly recommended.
Hyena [3] - it’s suprisingly good. Sex themed drama, which is rare in Korea.
I am Sam [3] - bit boring at the beginning, but it was fun.
I really really like you [3] - most of the mark is because the cute little Jung Da Bin.
Invitation [3,5] - like it!!
Love Rollercoaster [3] - only watch partially on Arirang TV. But it’s entertaining.
Love Story in Harvard [2] - why I can’t learn the lesson, that I don’t like Kim Rae Won?
Lovers [3] - not bad lah.
Lovers in Paris [2,5] - other overrated drama. For me it’s just so so. Very so so. Prefer Lee Dong Gun than Park Shin Yang. This time young one wins.
Mackerel Run [2] - boring and pointless. maybe I’m getting old? Nah, it was horrible show. Waste of money and time.
Marrying a Millionaire [2,5] - yeah, cliche. > it’s inspired from reality show ” Joe Millionaire”
Mermaid [4] - looongg drama…looovvvveee it!!! My first ever love of daily drama. Wish Indonesian could make daily dramas as good as Korean did.
Miss Kim’s making 1 Million’s project [2] - boring..bleh. Next!
Model [3] - old drama of Jang Dong Gun. not bad lah.
My Girl [3] - funny, with handsome face of Lee Dong Wook as bonus.
My Love [1] - drama w/ JDG which I hate!! ( the drama, not JDG..:P)
My Love Patzzi [3] - not bad. But not that I like Kim Rae Won, or Kim Jae Won..
My Name is Kim Sam Soon [3,5] - fun!!
Nine Tailed Fox aka Forbidden Love [3,5] - good, refreshing, not just ordinary kind of K-Drama. Plus great casts.
Only You [2] - boring..
Papa [2] - it just happened to watch it. Don’t change my opinion of Bae Yong Jun..
Perhaps Love aka If In Love..Like Them [3]
Popcorn [2,5] - so so. Typical drama with sad ending, incurable disease is included.
Princess Lulu [2] - promising at the beginning, but draggy after it..
Queen of the Game [3] - good, little draggy in the middle, but forgiven because there’s Joo Jin Moo in it!!
Que Sera Sera [3,5] - like it. maybe if it has tragic ending I will add more point!
Rookie aka Super Rookie [2] - slow..slow..
Romantic Hunter [3] - it said K version of Sex in the City. Yes it has some similarities, but later it has their own style, which is good, and fun.
Secret [3] - old drama which is quite good.
The Secret Lovers - haven’t finished it yet, since don’t like the cast..
The Story of Hyang Dan [3.5] - funny, delightful..
Shoot for the star [2] - boring. Eventhough In Sung is in it, not moved me to like it.
Snow in August [3] - bit draggy in the middle..don’t like the ending.
Soulmate [4]- love it! love the OST too!! funny and entertaining…
Spring Day [3] - I like Jo In Sung here! :p Story is good, though..
Spring Waltz [2,5] - great costumes, great scenery, great soundtracks, but don’t like the story
Successful Story of A Bright Girl [3] - Hilarious! Jang Hyuk is really nailed the character of ignorant rich guy.
Summer Scent [2,5] - Ridiculous storyline.
Sweet 18 [3] - sweet..i like it!
Time between Dog and Wolf [3,5] - me like it..
Thank You [4.5] - very good, very recommended. Once again, Jang Hyuk is back! Now hot ignorant, rough, rich doctor! Storyline is good, the casts are superb!
The Person I Love [3] - not love..but also not hate it..:p
Tomato [2]- boring.
We are Dating Now [2.5] - quite good, old drama of Chae Rim and So Ji SUb.
Wedding [3] - even slow, I like the story and the chemistry between Jang Nara and Ryu Shi Won.
Something Happened in Bali [4.5] - tragic, sad, devastating, but damn good serial I’ve ever watch! Great casts!!
What’s up, Fox? [3.5] - Funny!! Funnyyy!!!!
Which Star are You come from? [2] - once again, why I even tried to watch Kim Rae Won’s work? no offence. Just don’t like it.
Winter Sonata [2] - very very overrated drama.
Witch Yoo Hee [2] - waste of the casts. Story is kinda suck in the end. Boring.
Wonderful Life [3] - my praise goes to the damn cute little Jung Da Bin! She’s one the best child actor in Korea, i guess.

  1. Djes, gila… udah nonton brapa drama?? well well well now i know where those salaries go to…. :)
    eh, jadi skg tinggal ngeliatin review dan list km dong… thank you… :D

  2. oh btw.. musti ngakuin hebatnya memory djes… gile, masih inget semua yah … satu per satu… maaannn

  3. iya banyak yah, kan udah bertahun2 juga.. :D
    toh sebenernya ga semua punya, banyak juga yg sewa ( dulu ).
    Ga inget juga, kan liat listnya dapet dr DramaWiki..

  4. hey do you know where can i find a dvd of the love rollercoaster series that was shown on arirang i’ve been looking for it and still no luck.. or a website where i can dload it thanks… its chewypiper@hotmail.com

  5. Bamely, sorry, cannot help you. I also watched Love Rollercoaster on Arirang TV years ago, and never heard it released on DVD. and to download it, maybe you can try to find the information about it through http://soompi.com/forums or http://d-addicts.com.

  6. Oh! have u tried My lucky star yet? Its my favorite drama and i’ve already watched most of the taiwnese drama on ur list. What about Why Why Love? Most of the cast is from Devil Beside You, including the director, but the storyline i think is better since DBY was basically a remake of marmalade boy. Did u know that they’re thinking of making a DBY 2? Oh and Kingone looks so much hotter in Why Why Love

  7. You should also try a few others: Silence, Mars, KO One, Queen’s, At the Dolphin Bay, Reaching for the Stars, Angel Lover, and Peach Girl

  8. Oh! and also Smiling Pasta. It may seem too much like full house in the beginning but as the story develops you’ll see that it has its multiple differences

  9. CutieBare, I’ve seen Peach Girl, and tried At Dolphin’s Bay..but those weren’t my cups of tea. I didn’t like it. And, am not fan of Vic, so I ( purposely ) avoid Mars & Silence..:-p
    Well, I don’t like many Taiwanese Dramas, so..hmmm… :-)
    Yes, I am considering to see Smiling Pasta though.

  10. Hi,just wondering. Did you get the whole series of Billie Jean look at me?
    Thanks.

  11. You should watch My Lucky Star! It’s awesome. =)

    The list was very helpful! Thanks

  12. waduh nonton segitu banyak,kapan tidurnya?

  13. kalo inget.. :P ^ini..kity, bukan?

  14. you know… this list is super helpful! :p

  15. how? tell me! I wonder how this list helps ( and so happy to know it! )…

  16. it’s useful buat cari inspirasi what to watch next :p

  17. hello,
    I’m Malaysia. Wow, u really watch a lot, a lot of drama. I saw ur comment/rating of those dramas u hv watch and i agree most of them with u. I myself also like to watch korean, hong kong,taiwan, and some china drama.

  18. yes. A LOT. Hahaha.
    Thanks for visiting, Tracy…

  19. wow! u really watch a lot of drama….how did u manage to get hold of them? Me, i usually bought the boxset that is available at the local store in Brunei. I dont know how to download from the internet :( plus i heard the speed here is very slooooooooooowwwwwwwwww.

    but i’m really surprised you havent finished The Ballad of Seo Dong. I do admit it was very boring at the beginning but when Seo Dong had grown up into Jo Hyun Jae…wow, I got to work with bleary eyes (only 1 hr sleep!) and since then have been a fan of Jo Hyun Jae…

  20. mostly I bought the dvd sets.

    I know, I know. Friend of mine also said that Ballad of Seo Dong is good after you can bear the boring beginning. I just have too many choice of dramas, and I get bored so easily, so..

    I like Jo Hyun Jae too, he’s quite good actor. Lee Bo Young is a good actress too. Still.. :D

    Maybe, I say maybe, one day I’ll be back and manage to finish it.
    It just now, I’m not in the mood of watching period dramas.. :P
