I like winter sonata, hotelier and my love patzzi( like both kim jae won and kim rae won- are they brothers?? just curious about it )

hotelier is very good

err, that's not altogether correct.

First, she dies in his hands/lap while they are talking (and he carries her body back to the house). And he doesn't say 'i'm sorry i can't go to you' but rather gives a whole monologue about how he's thankful that she came into his life and that he was able to love her and that this is just the beginning of his love for her. And before she dies of course, they promise to meet in heaven so after she dies, he says he won't forget that promise ^^;

i found a link to the final scene of the drama taken on the beach w/ no subs (approximately 10 min). very sad

Anybody watching Rosemary? I believe that is the name of the Korean TV drama. It's on Mondays and Tuesdays here in LA

It's about a mother/wife who has cancer.

Sad but another good drama.

Has a nice theme song called Will You Remember me.....I think.

I don't think anybody has brought it up...or maybe I just missed the post.

watching my love patzy on a local tv....
jang nara character in that drama is similar with her in bright girl success dont u think?....
i think im gonna like this kdrama...

I just finished watching this drama, and I did like it very much. In short, I don't think the "bright girl" was all that bright, LOL. The ending didn't quite satisfy me. It was a little strange, leading up to the end. In my mind I am hoping the best happened afterwards, LOL But WTF!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!? Being in love with Jang Nara makes my hottie Jang Hyuk look like a pedophile!! She looks like she's 14 years old, no matter how you dress her. I cannot believe she's the same age as me in real life.

HAHAHAHA......Rant over.

I like my love patzzi to... jang nara is somehow more cute in this drama than in the bright girl success...
maybe in someway the character is same... but not much I think... because she has more naughty character in this drama, my love patzzi and sometimes quite childish

in bright girl succes... I can see that she is quite matured but still have the childish look and manner

umm... I finally got to finishing it.

<FONT SIZE=7>SPOILER!!!!!!! FAIR WARNING!!!!! DO NOT READ FURTHER!!!!!!</FONT SIZE>



What were your thoughts for the ending? I wanted her to pick one of them. but I did like the whole odd and even day bit.

That was funny!!

I liked the ending. I wished it was a little more romantic than that but....she chose the guy I wanted her to end up with so i can over look that

hi
I just bought bright girl's success dvd (i don't consider them bootleg since they are the official release in malaysia, they are imports though) anyway I bought this coz I someone in japan tv forum said the english subtitles were great

can anyone give me other korean drama DVD imports that have good subtitles, I might buy them like the one i did with bright girl's success.

From Malaysia: Winter Sonata
From Korea: Summer Scent, All In

They have decent enough english sub.

Engrish sub but understandable enough (all from Malaysia): Autumn in my Heart, Hotelier, All About Eve.

Worst engrish sub: My Love Patzzi DVD from Malaysia, you will pull your hair out trying to figure out what they're saying fom the engrish subs.

Does anyone know the artists' name of the japanese-speaking girl that plays Michael Jang's girlfriend in All In? the one that is also a pro-gambler but lost in the prelims of the world poker series....
Thanks

That's actually a good question. And I'm wondering if she was featured in any J-dramas. In any case, I gotta second your All In (and anyone else who mentioned the drama here) recommendation, arnel98. Gambling (in Vegas and in S. Korea), underworld activity, martial arts, murder, intrigue, helicopters, and . . . hmmm . . . and one more thing that I can't think of right n . . . OH, YEAH, AND a love story. Whew, talk about getting more than for what you paid.

And thanks to amyliaz for posting the All In description.

Lee Byung Hun is arguably THE best male acteur in Asia.


Characteristics of K-drama that you might not find as common when compared to J-drama (I posted the following at another site . . . and I hope they contribute to the discussion):

-- The crying is much more, for lack of a better word, "violent," it seems.

-- There are proportionately many more "beefs"; more instances of underworld activity down there.

-- People's heads get slapped and pounded quite convincingly (no stuntpeople here). And it happens OFTEN.

-- Nightclub scenes take place in actual clubs (not like how folks are just standing around in on a soundstage like how they do in the "two Kinki Kids meet in the same scene from two different dramas" [I actually saw it happen in To Heart, if you wanna get technical here]).

-- Whereas it takes new years specials for Japanese drama to talk about WWII (and, yes, I realize this is a recent development, 'specially with shows like Song of the Canefields and Princess Hiro), chillingly enough, K-drama characters seem to refer to "the unification" of S. and N. Korea just a BIT too often, if you ask me.

-- Affluent characters in K-drama seem to have white picket fences surrounding their house. I am not making this up, and I wonder if it's true in real life.

-- K-dramas (and not just their equivalent of Taiga dramas) run about 20-30 (sometimes more) episodes.

-- "Mother" characters can be quite tough.

I mean, this list isn't meant to be comprehensive . . . any disagreements? I'd love to hear 'em, 'specially since the determination of the distinctions between J-drama and K-drama is a constant work-in-progress for me.


One last note: Won Bin wasn't the only acteur to be featured in a production alongside a Japanese acteur (as you know, he acted with my Fukada Kyoko in Friends; and he was MEAN to her at one point. Grrrrrrrrr!!!!! ). Dong Gun Jang starred with none other than Toru Nakamura in the revisionist/time-travelin' 2009 Lost Memories. And . . . I think of the TOKIO or SMAP members played a detective stuck in Seoul and paired up with a Korean detective (whose name also escapes me) in Seoul.

Motion picture and/or TV production companies from both countries have a lot to offer. Let's hope we see more "crossovers" in the future, no?

The romance could of been better but I was happy she stayed behind.
