- StarsHwang Jeong-eumPark Seo-joonKo Jun-heeWhen Ji Sung-Joon was young, he was ugly. As he grew up, he began to have an attractive appearance. When Kim Hye-Jin was young, she was pretty. As she grew up, she became ugly. Ji Sung-Joon tries to find his first love.I decided to watch this one after seeing a facebook preview video. Loved the chemistry between the main leads and Si Won Choi really shines as the second male lead. The last filler episodes were unnecessary for me as nothing much happens apart from underlining their happily ever after, would have given it 9/10 if it hadn't been stretched. Overall a great introduction into the world of k-drama.
- StarsJi SungHwang Jeong-eumPark Seo-joonA love story between the son from a wealthy family who has 7 personalities Cha Do Hyun and Oh Ri Jin who becomes his secret psychiatrist.Note: Story involves mental disease.
I watched this one next as it had the same excellent female lead as 'She was Pretty' and Seo-joon Park in a supporting role. No regrets! Excellent story, the leads have good chemistry and while no doubt unrealistic, still an interesting portrayal of multiple personality disorder. Male lead Seong Ji is absolutely fantastic. - StarsKong Hyo-jinSo Ji-seobSeo In-gukTae Gong Sil has the ability to see ghosts, but their constant demands for help make her life impossible until she meets Joo Jong Won, a handsome CEO who measures everything by money, since when she touches him, the ghosts disappear.Looking for a supernatural k-drama, I started to watch this one. Instantly fell in love with male lead Ji-seob So. The way she latches on to him and his responses are just pure gold. Oof, just Oof. Loved this one!
- StarsPark Min-youngPark Seo-joonLee Tae-HwanA romance between perfect but narcissistic second generation heir and his capable assistant.Watched another one with Seo-joon Park as male lead. Excellent chemistry between the leads, loved female lead Min-Young Park. She's absolutely gorgeous, funny, witty. Pretty light watch, not too heavy on the drama.
- StarsSong Seung-heonGo AraLee ElA man possessed by death. A woman who can see death. The earthly and the afterworld collide dangerously.I was looking into watching Goblin, but I wasn't sure my heart could take it yet so i watched this one instead. The whole seeing grim reapers and foreseeing death concept looked interesting to me. I didn't fall completely in love with female Lead Ara-Go. Definitely not as strong as Master's Sun but very enjoyable.
- StarsChae RimChoi SiwonHyun-Woo LeeSeries Outline: Sung Min Woo is the top male star in Korea due to his good looks and singing talent. Ambitious, he moved into TV dramas which he helps with his star power and hinders with his terrible acting. He also has an exploitative, unethical manager. Yoon Gae Hwa is a housewife divorced from a rich husband who needs to earn enough money to keep her daughter in her custody while her ex-husband's new wife doesn't want the daughter of a previous wife around. Gae Hwa's sole prior work experience is 6 months as a reporter for a weekly scandal rag. Her first jobs shown in the series are unsuccessful but include 1 day as housekeeper for Sung Min Woo where a babysitting emergency forces her to leave early, infuriating Sung Min Woo. Shortly afterwards, she finds another job at a musical production company, learns a secret about Sung Min Woo, and convinces him to work on the agency's musical, and becomes Min Woo's handler for that agency as it prepares to put on a musical starring Min Woo (if he ever improves as an actor). Handling Min Woo is no easy task due to their mutual antagonism, spurred by Min Woo's immaturity. Min Woo grows up as he faces the challenges of caring for his unexpected 5-year-old daughter Ye Eun, the result of an affair several years earlier, and by Gae Hwa's example in caring for the otherwise unprotected Ye Eun. Min Woo gains maturity very quickly as he learns to accept and love his daughter and becomes something unexpected - a good actor. The romance also ends satisfyingly - but I'm not telling that part of the ending.Wanted to see Si Won Choi as the main lead, as he was so excellent in 'She was Pretty' and it made me feel bad he didn't get the girl in the end. This one didn't have ratings as high as the previous ones I watched but I chanced it anyways. It really doesn't stand out. Mousy female lead is somewhat refreshing, but nothing noteworthy about this series over all. Watching Choi is never really a chore but it's hard to like the character he plays, especially in the first few episodes. Shame, it really doesn't show off his range or appeal much at all.
- StarsPark Bo-youngLee Dae-yeonJo Jung-sukTimid Na Bong Sun gets possessed by the ghost of a confident young woman who seeks to solve her one unfinished business by hooking up with Bong Sun's boss, famous chef Kang Sun Woo.What can I say, I like ghost stories. I also like cooking! This one delivered. I was a little worried they might mess up with the intimate scenes during possessions, as i was anticipating being disturbed by lack of attention to the concept of consent but they handled that pretty well overall. Seul-gi Kim was great in the role of the ghost girl, you get really invested in her story. Chemistry between main leads is also good.
- StarsKang Ji-hwanYoon Eun-hyeSung JunJealous when her friend steals and marries her first love, a woman lies that she too is married. The lie ensnares a hotel president who goes along with the lie for his own reasons. Will the lie become reality?Picked this one up out of a 'must-watch' k-drama list on the internet somewhere. It took me a bit to feel attraction to the male lead, and to get really invested in the show took a good few episodes but after that it was an interesting watch. Flimsy plot. Chemistry between leads is pretty good, with a noteworthy kissing scene for k-drama standards. Overall, not bad, not great.
- StarsSo Ji-seobShin Min-aJung Gyu-woonA lawyer in her thirties coming out of a long relationship decides to regain her figure and health after meeting a renowned personal trainer who obsesses with leading a healthy lifestyle after suffering a serious injury in his childhood.Ji-seob So, be still my beating heart. Not a huge fan of Min-a Shin though can't put my finger on why. Still, their chemistry is good and the story is quite funny and sweet.
- StarsHwang Jeong-eumJi SungBae Soo-binYoo-jung is betrayed by her lover Do-hoon and falsely accused of a hit-and-run accident. Min-hyuk, an heir to a conglomerate, lost his lover Ji-hee in the car accident. Min-hyuk seeks revenge and falls in love with Yoo-jung.Looked up for female lead Jeong-eum Hwang, and male lead Seong Ji. Same pairing as in 'Kill me, Heal me'. And wow. Just wow, what a story. Tears! Worst villain ever, simply because you can understand the reasons behind his actions, from his perspective. Your heart will break over and over for the female lead. Recommended a thousand times over.
- StarsAhn Bo-hyunPark Jin-jooKim Bo-raA romantic comedy about a talented gallery curator named Sung Duk Mi, who is an idol fan-girl underneath her professional veneer. Meanwhile, her boss Ryan becomes a passionate fan-boy of her.This one was just so cute. Female lead Min-Young Park is so easy on the eyes and the chemistry with Jae-wook Kim is amazing. The kissing scenes are scorching! Jung Je-Won is also super cute, can understand why he'd attract such a fanbase. Pretty light watch, not heavy on drama. Definitely recommended.
- StarsLee Dong-wookLee Sang-wooSon Sung-yoonAn affair between a lawyer and a first-rate actress, whose life goes downhill after being involved in a scandal. She fakes her position to become the lawyer's secretary and star in a writer's drama.Lee Dong-wook! Wow, what a gorgeous hunk of man. Very cute series, I like office romance series and loved the chemistry between the two leads. Very binge-worthy.
- StarsJun Ji-hyunKim Soo-hyunPark Hae-jinDo Min-Joon, an alien that came to our planet 400 years ago, will be able to return to his planet in 3 months, but when he meets famous actress Chun Song-Yi, all the centuries he spent distancing himself from humans come to an end.Yeees, aliens. Took me a while to start on this one because the male lead looked so boy-ish to me. I changed my mind pretty quickly while watching though. Excellent performance by both leads. Ji-hyun Jun leaves an impression from the second she arrives on screen. Loved the Josean era flashbacks, the back and forth really worked for me. Very interesting story and the ending delivered if you ignore the somewhat questionable scientific explanation. Bit of a tear jerker towards the end.
- StarsJun Ji-hyunLee Min-hoLee Hee-joonA mermaid from the Joseon period ends up in present-day Seoul, where she crosses paths with a swindler who may have ties to someone from her past.Another one with Ji-hyun Jun in the lead, this time she's the supernatural being. I think the best parts of this series are while the Josean era past lives fate entwined story-line is still revealing itself. It's such a beautiful story! Once that's concluded it just gets pretty straight laced, not a bad thing per say but it's something I missed in the last episodes.
Male lead Min-Ho Lee is definitely a new favorite, it's just a joy to look at him. I didn't enjoy this one as much as 'You who came from the stars' but it was definitely a good watch. - StarsYeon Woo-jinGong Seung-yeonBak YoonThe quiet life of an extreme introvert is thrown upside down when his company hires a cheery and outgoing new employee who's not all she seems.Alright, I liked the concept for this one, but it took quite a few eps for it to pick up speed and then falls into an unnecessarily stretched out string of drama until the last episode. While the chemistry was good between leads, the pairing wasn't outstanding.
I was leaning towards rating this a 7. The story is flimsy and I wish they would have given the male lead more time to plow through the attraction in his more awkward phase, as that to me were the most appealing parts of this drama. All in all not a bad drama, but not quite what I expected to see. - StarsHan GrooYeon Woo-jinJeong Jin-woonBefore Joo Jang Mi can propose to her boyfriend, he has his best friend, Gong Gi Tae, help him break up with her. Meanwhile, Gi Tae is eager to remain single, but as his family insists he marries, he proposes a fake engagement to Jang Min.Good uncomplicated fun. Didn't know it had the same male lead as 'Introverted Boss' when I started watching this. Very nice to see him show large acting range between both roles. This drama was miles better though. No large or unbelievable dramatic plot twists, just family dynamics and antics with the leads slowly getting to know one another. I can't name a thing i disliked about this one.
- StarsJo Jung-sukKong Hyo-jinGo Kyung-pyoGetting ahead in a broadcasting station is tough and the competition is fierce -- but when a news anchor and meteorologist start to fall for each other, things get much more complicated.Note: Story involves physical disease.
It's Jung-suk Jo, oh no. This man is too hot for his own good. Depicts the ultimate love triangle, with difficulties and choices not everyone might find believable. Main leads have great chemistry and the passionate kisses would leave me with a pit in my stomach. Character Lee Hwa-shin is incredibly charismatic and interesting and his struggles believable and relate-able. This drama will deliver plenty of angst, frustration and is a tearjerker at times. Definitely one of my favorites. - StarsJang HyukJang Na-raChoi Jin-hyukA touching Korean drama filled with comedy about a girl who finds happiness, friendship and love in the most unexpected way!Note: Story involves physical disease.
If your first impression of the male lead is that he's too extreme and dramatic, stick with it. What I found really interesting was that his environment clearly responds to all the strange behavior he exhibits, but gradually come to accept it once they get to know his character, often in unison with the watcher. It shows the male lead is athletically skilled as his clumsy dives and tumbles are masterfully controlled. The acting is downright phenomenal. Unfortunately the intimate scenes weren't amazing, otherwise this would have gotten 10/10. - StarsHan Jung-hyunZo In-sungSong Hye-kyoA man who was led to a life of a con artist who preys on rich women meets the sole heir to a fortune who is a blind woman.Note: Story involves disability.
Very heartwarming tale. Chemistry between leads strong. Ending took a bit of an unnecessary detour, nonetheless a very strong drama about the importance of family, forgiveness and redemption. Very sweet love story. Must watch. - StarsKim Young-kwangJin Ki-jooKoo Ja-sungAfter Do Min Ik, a competent director, loses his ability to recognise faces, he becomes dependent on Jung Gal Hee, his secretary, and eventually develops feelings for her.Note: Story involves physical disease.
Much like 'her private life', this one was sweet and heartwarming. Light on drama. Chemistry between leads very strong. Secondary leads also very cute and it was refreshing they weren't in a typical love triangle, rather than just having their own love story. - StarsLee Seung-giCha Seung-wonOh Yeon-SeoIn 2017, Son Oh Gong and Ma Wang are in conflict with each other and they look for a true light in a dark world where evils exists everywhere.I just finished this one and i'm not really ready to talk about it yet. Judge by the rating I'd say (would have been a 10 if not for the shoddy CGI). I figure i'm so rattled I might as well watch Goblin next.
I will say this is the first drama where I'd like to see a second season, as i'm emotionally invested in all the characters, it has a setup that could easily be extended and it might leave me with an ending not so heart-wrenchingly emotional. - StarsGong YooKim Go-eunLee Dong-wookIn his quest for a bride to break his immortal curse, Dokkaebi, a 939-year-old guardian of souls, meets a grim reaper and a sprightly student with a tragic past.There, I finally watched it. Incredible acting. I had some issues getting on board with the main pairing due to the age difference, then episode 13 and up hit me like a freight train. Wow. What a beautiful story. Don't put this one off like I did.
- StarsGong YooYoon Eun-hyeLee Sun-kyunA tomboy, mistaken for a lad, maintains the deception for the sake of employment. The situation becomes complicated when her male boss begins to develop feelings for this "boy."This is a great 'against the odds' unconventional love story. Fantastic performances allround, great chemistry, compelling plot. Deserves to be on every 'must watch' list.
- StarsKong Hyo-jinLee Sun-kyunLee Hanee"Pasta" is an unconventional love story that revolves around the kitchen of an Italian restaurant, La Sfera.Why did they make me wait so long for a proper kiss! Eurghhh. The food made me stupid hungry.
It's good, more Sun-kyun Lee as male lead please. Hyo-Jin Kong is always a winner. - StarsSung Dong-ilLee Kwang-sooJin KyungA love story between a psychiatrist named Ji Hae Soo and an author who had schizophrenia named Jang Jae Yeol.Note: Story involves mental disease.
Great story, chemistry, acting. Definitely no lack of intimacy in this one. Wow. I love both these actors, this was a great watch.
