RECOMMENDED/FAVORITE KOREAN DRAMAS

Must Watches are:
1. Boys Before Flowers --> I was a bit skeptical when I first began watching this because I've seen every other version in every other language but the korean one, is by far the best version I've seen. I've also read the manga and I must say, this drama is creative while still sticking to the original story; though I knew what the end results and the main points of this drama, it kept me guessing throughout the entire thing. This was a great drama and I would recommend it to anyone. 5 stars from me.

2. Coffee Prince --> The first few episodes were a bit hard for me to endure, but once I got past those, this was one of the best dramas I've ever seen. It was a wonderful plot with characters that could make you laugh and cry. 5 stars.

3. Full House --> My review for this one is a bit hazy as I saw it a while a go, though it still deserves to be a Must Watch. All I can say is that this drama had a good plot and was nicely executed and also had one of the best endings ever. Most dramas leave you hanging with a sense of incompletion, possibly waiting for a sequel? Though I know this series has a sequel coming out, it left me with a sense of completion instead of normally, with other dramas, I'd still be waiting for the actually ending.

Ones that would be good to watch are:
1. I'm Sorry, I Love You
2. My Girl

my top 3 romantic comedy k-dramas:

1. coffee prince - i love this drama, it was the first i actually started watching before the subtitles were completely finished and i would go completely crazy in between releases.

2. goong - my first k-drama and still in my top three.

3. dal ja's spring - i mostly base my favorites being dramas i would watch more than once, this one definitely held up a second time.

really really like you, fantasy couple, and my name is kim sam soon are my honorable mentions.

I'm kinda new to Korean drama and was wondering what people would recommend and found this page, so I thought I share my views as well.

If you ask me what I like I would say I like the serious action stuff like "East of Eden" and "Time Between Dog and Wolf"(This got me into Kdrama)
However I also like the love stories where the main characters have to overcome sooo many hurdles to be together, be it a happy or sad ending. Such as "Snow Queen" and "Spring Waltz"
I also like the really touching stories that make you feel all emo as one they tend to have a great plot and secondly they have an amazing OST like "One Litre of Tears" (I know its s Jap drama, but was wondering if there any Korean Drama like that)

Also if there a good looking actress then that would be a bonus lol

Other drama that I have seen and would recommend to others are:

Iljimae (Ancient Robin Hood, but better)
Jumong (Great historical drama with amazing visual effects)
Boys Before Flowers (Good Comedy)
My Girl (Good Comedy)
Im Sorry I love you (Really good sad romance comedy)
Sad Love Song (Another good romance)
Tree of Heaven (Wow the acting of the actress is amazing at only 16 I think - Romance drama)
Boys over Flowers (Good happy drama for a change, no one dies at the end lol)

What I have seen

Winter Sonata (A bit slow for my liking and wasnt sure what with all the hype)
Full House (Good at the start, but fail to deliver in the end. Again did not meet all the hype)
Beethoven Virus ( I only watched this cos Lee Ji Ah in it lol)
Coffee Prince (Good comedy, love the main character played by Yoon Eun Hye)

What I want to watch (Would appreciate other views on this list)

Green Rose (Watching atm but losing interest at 4 episodes)
Stairway to Heaven
All In
Summer Scent
Golden Bride (Better be good as its long lol)
Queen of the Game
La Dolce Vita
Sweet Spy
The Devil
POWERFUL OPPONENTS
The Vineyard Man
Queen of the Game
Lovers in Paris
Sweet 18

To sum up, here are the must watch in my opinion

I'm Sorry I Love You
Time Between Dog and Wolf
East of Eden
Jumong
One Litre of Tears (Japanese drama, but deserves recognition here)

Looking at the above list , I think its fair to say I like the action and emo dramas lol

I am completely new to K-Dramas, only have seen Taiwanese and Japanese ones.

I am looking for a bright and funny romantic comedy to watch.

I loved Hana Yori Dango (J), Hana Kimi (J and TW) and Kimi wa Petto (J).

Any recommendations for a really funny and cute romantic comedy?
(I don't want anything sad- I generally don't like those)

Hey everyone!! I am looking for a good kdrama to watch. I have been looking through all these pages and kind of seen the same things over and over again for suggestions. The thing is that I have seen most of them or they really don't appeal to me.

I really like romantic comedies and period dramas. For example, Hong Gil Dong..is by far the best kdrama I have seen to date. It has comedy, good action scenes, REALLY good political story lines, and really really good acting. I am a big fan of Kang Ji Hwan. I would like to find a similar drama like this one.

Others I liked: Coffee Prince, Full House, Hello! Miss( I really liked this one also), I'm Your Teacher( I watched this because Big Bang's TOP is in it, I must say ..it was ok..goes slow.) and Goong.

I do like more dramatic ones also...but not the uber uber depressing ones. I need to have some kind of comic relief. lol

So please help me out, I really love kdramas and NEED to watch moree! Big Smile

Hmm.. my suggestions other than the usually 4 ( my girl, full house, MNIKSS, Goong) Would be:

1.) Iljimae ( wasnt a big fan of historical dramas but it was extremely good!)
2.) Hong gil dong. ( watched this because of iljimae and it turned out even better, was funny and had an actual story line that was other than the typical love story)
3.) Three dads and one mom ( just finshed watching it, it was funny and sad and sweet and cute )

I've watched alot of dramas and it takes alot to actually keep me interested.. and without fast forwarding but these dramas, kept me entertained. iljimae may be hard to get through in the beginning but keep watching it it gets waaaay better!
