Korean Dramas/Actors

Just started to watch an historical drama called 'SOLDIER' or 'GOD OF WAR'

So far it is very good and totally brutal in the fierce treatment of slaves and the 'games' they play to gain a better status from the lowest rank of slavery.
Apart from the tough beginning it is a very interesting story and I would recommend it as an exciting drama with a good cast and no dragging moments at all.

I also like it a lot.
Did not expect much, and the first half was kind of back and forth. But the second half was great. And I really like the OST too.

Finished Dr. Jin and Big.

Yup, I stuck it out to see if Dr. Jin got any better and it didn't, mostly because of the writing. The acting still wasn't great, but I think it had to do with the script. Tried to follow JIN here and there but most of the time was all over the place. Definitely one of the worst dramas I've watched (and finished).

And Big was a BIG disappointment. Started out promising, went to boring in the middle and ended up WTF? Worst Hong sisters drama I've watched so far. Hopefully they'll do better next time. :fingerscrossed:

Yeah, BIG went downhill pretty fast. I'm surprised I finished watching it.

^ Big is nice funny drama compared to Love Rain's 20 boring episodes. Love Rain will put you to :sleep:

Well after watching two bombs and surviving, I figured the third time is the charm, so I've started watching Arang and the Magistrate.
So far, so good, plus it has one of my favorites in Shin Min-Ah. I don't think this one will disappoint like Big. :fingerscrossed:

I'll take your word for it. I haven't ( and don't plan on ) seen Love Rain.

Dream High is light and fluffy.

Catchy and polished..

Plenty of talent and a good soundtrack.

It's the Korean version of Glee. :victory:

Though the acting was a bit rough.
Also, I wouldn't recommend season 2.

Rough but charming. I'll take the hint about season 2. :beaten:

Was watching Hero on Mnet (and totally enjoyed it), but I keep missing the ending! :doh:

Has anybody seen Holyland? I know it's based on the Japanese manga, and I've seen the Japanese version of the drama. Is it worth watching or is it the same as watching the Japanese one?

Watching the funniest drama...Flowers for My Life...lots of black humor and irreverence...I'm laughing so hard my neighbors must think I'm drunk.

havent seen HolyLand...

I did watch "A Gentlemans Dignity' - its pretty good and easy watch.

Been watching 1% of Anything.

Better than I expected. :victory:

Finished Arang and the Magistrate.

Pretty entertaining drama that has about every genre in it...Of course anything would be better after watching Dr. Jin and Big. :beaten: Worth watching.

Seems like most Korean male actors spend more time lifting weight than studying acting.

stay away from Ohlala Couple this is the worst korean drama ever made :shakehead:
