Top Drama Recommendations

I wanted to make a list of my recommended dramas for people who have no idea what to watch next or who have just discovered Asian dramas. I used to search for hours and hours (slight exaggeration) for a good drama to watch, only to get bored after 10 minutes of watching it, so here's a guide to help you avoid that!

Korean Dramas:

1. Goong (Princess Hours) - Yoon Eun Hye is in it... need I say more? S'all good :)
2. Coffee Prince - Again, I loved the cast. YEH is the female lead, plus a really hot guy that I always forget the name of...
3. My Girl - LEE DONG WOOK - yupp 'nuff said. Cute story + I loved the girl in it (Lee Da Hae).
4. Full House - Bi Rain and Song Hye Gyo... really funny although could be more romantic.
5. Autumn Tale - One of the older ones and it's completely different to the rest. If you like crying your eyes out then this one's for you.

J-Dorama:

1. Hana Yori Dango 1+2 - I cannot recommend this enough. JUST GO WATCH IT OK?!
2. A Litre of Tears - I actually did cry a litre of tears. not so much a romance drama but it got me so .. ;]
3. Nodame Cantabile - "gyaboooo" o___0 no i am not psycho.. you'll get it when you watch the drama
4. Hotaru no Hikari - stars Ayase Haruka
5. Gokusen 1-3 - It's not exactly a "must watch" but watching a comic drama about a school of boys doesn't hurt a bit.

Taiwanese Drama:

1. Meteor Garden - the drama that started it all... watch it if you haven't (Barbie + Zaizai).
2. Mars - the drama after the drama that started it all ;P hahah same leads.
3. Devil Beside You - Mike He and Kingone anyone? Dont forget Rainie Yang too :)
4. Why Why love - the trio again but completely different story. I prefered this one though.
5. It Started With A Kiss - Cuteee girl-loves-guy-who-doesn't-care-but-then-falls-for-thegirl-but-doesn't- admit-it-till-the-end story.

These are my top recommendations... I've only inculded the ones I consider are "must watch" and 7/10 chances, people who look at this will probably have seen them because these are literally the most popular series.

PS. I know posts have been so irregular for the past month or so... I've just been on holiday so i haven't updated the blog for ageess (thanks Michelle for keeping it up though ^^ ). Things are starting to fall back into place though and I will be posting more soon :)

A Quick Summer Update

So sorry we haven't been around much lately. It's the summer and we're all enjoying ourselves ;) I'm probably going to watch another few series and review them before college starts again though!

Can't wait for: Superstar Express! Jiro Wang and Rainie Yang; what could be better?! I've seen some filming caps and the outfits are slightly dodgy, but I still can't wait!

Review: Rolling Love

I'm still watching this drama xD So I may repost this when I'm done. I just realised I hadn't posted here for about a month - eek! Main reason for watching this series in the first place was that Jiro Wang plays the lead *swoons*

The story revolves around two storylines so far: one where Xiao Shu (played by Genie Zhuo) is blinded by a car accident caused by her then-kind of-boyfriend, Leng Lie. LL then spends his life regretting the accident and trying to make up for it with his world-famous dishes. (He's a top chef!)

By chance, Xiao Shu meets Mi Xi Lin (played by Jiro Wang) who charms her with his random and quirky ways. MXL is also a chef, who excels only in one dish - egg fried rice. Obviously, MXL falls in love with Xiao Shu, but disaster keeps striking.

edit:// finished the series! I cried about three times in the last 5 episodes. It was so emotional. This is definitely worth watching if you like idol-dramas.

Review: Hana Yori Dango (Korean)

Such a late post! omg.But i just couldn't help it...this news came out earlier this year (around april i think) but i've only been able to find out about it recently (this morning actually =/) hahhaI practically read the whole article with my mouth open! I can't believe they're re-making it =D
Both the Taiwanese and the Japanese versions were very popular all over asia. Even though i saw the Taiwanese version first... i fell in love with the Japanese version (highly due to Matsujun playing Domyouji ;)


Korean Version (Poster)

Hana Yori Dango (Jdorama)

Meteor Garden (Tdrama)

I hope the Korean version stays true to the manga just as the two other versions did! I think this was one of the factors that made the previous versions extremely popular and changing the storyline in anyway would upset fans who've gotten to know and love the characters.

The production team in charge of the remake will be Group Eight (as selected by the orginial writer of the manga, Kamio Yoko). Group Eight were also responsible for producing other popular dramas such as Goong S and Fantasy Couple.
Group Eight have have said that “rather than casting based on popularity alone, we’re going for actors in the Korean F4 who fit the original characters best". I agree with what they've said and i think choosing actors based just on popularity would be a big mistake... i think they would certainly have to have that "ooompf" xD and deliver the personality and charisma that each F4 character oooozes (namely hanawa rui! loll)
Currently, the favourite to play Makino Tsukushi is Yoon Eun Hye but it's still not final so this could still change... i 'd also like to see Lee Dong Wook play a part in the series (I loved him in my girl ^^ )
Howeverr,. i've read that Kim Hyun Jung has been chosen to play Rui. I haven't really seen him in a drama so i can't say if i like him or not..
i've seen a couple of his pictures and yeahh he's pretty cute but i hope it's not just his face he'll bring to the table ^^

Kim Hyun Jung

PS : when is HYD movie actually coming out? or is it out?? someone get back to me on this please! :)
