Drama Recs?

[walkwithheroes]

I've only watching six Asian dramas right now: Gloria, Reinoryokusha Odagiri Kyoko no Uso, Dae Mul, Guilty, Q10, and Mary Stayed Out All Night aka Marry Me, Mary!. Normally, that would be enough to keep me busy, but Reinoryokusha Odagiri Kyoko no Uso, Dae Mul and Q10's subtitles are coming slowly. While Gloria and Mary are getting very angsty. Guilty is great, but there are only two or three episodes left. Which leads me to this:

As I wait for the angst to end, subtitles, and wait for the Doctor Who Christmas special and S3 of Being Human - Are there any cute/fun/family dramas that aired this season/last season that I should be watching? I think you guys know what I've watched, but just in case:





A Good Day for the Wind to Blow (stopped it; it was getting too crazy)

Sungkyunkwan Scandal (liked it, but not as much as others on my flist)

Cinderella's Sister (started good, but those scripts got messy, didn't they?)

Personal Preference (cute for the leads)

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (cute, but not the best)

Stars Falling From the Sky (great story; watched for those kids and the OTP)

Oh! My Lady (disappointing)

Coffee House (I think we all know why I watched - the male lead)

Giant (dear God! I watched for MW/Miju and the Lee Siblings)

Will It Snow at Christmas? (I never finished. all the time jumps and angst started to get to me. Was very well done, though)

Smile, You (watched for the secondary OTP. The drama that introduced me to Lee Chun Hee)

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (not bad. Kame and Oomasa Aya were cute)

Bloody Monday 2 (watched it with Bloody Monday. Two get suspense dramas)

Mother (brilliantly written and acted. Won a ton of awards. Brilliant drama)

Natsu no Koi wa Niji-iro ni Kagayaku (slow, but enjoyable for the leads)

Moon Lovers (you spend half the damn drama building up one OTP, then the last two or three episodes. . .you spend having the guy "fall" for his best friend, whose been pining over him since college. No. Just, no.)

Sunao ni Narenakute (Kitagawa Eriko's attempt at cashing in on the Last Friends train of crazy-ass angst and stupidness. It didn't work. The characters were unlikeable, the plot made little sense, and it was just awful. A disappointment, I never finished.)



Lots of dramas, yet I still did the best this semester than I ever have while in university.

Nagareboshi~ It's really sweet and there's just something nostalgic about it. Takenouchi Yutaka and Ueto Aya are soooo beautiful in it. I highly recommend it!

I remember you saying you're not a fan of Toda Erika, but I have to mention SPEC again. XD; Just one episode left and it's CRAZY but brilliant. Unfortunately it seems they're behind on subs though :<

I've been meaning t to say, I love your LOST mood theme by the way!

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

I've heard very good things about Nagareboshi. But, isn't it kind of sad? I have enough angst right now.

I don't like Toda Erika. She really is the only thing keeping me from watching SPEC. I may try the first episode, though.


Thanks. I loved LOST. Especially Claire/Charlie.

[strawberry-fzz.livejournal.com]

Ummm it does have its sad moments but I wouldn't label it a tragedy. So far it's going more along the lines of "hope for the future," that is, as long as they don't drop the bomb in the final episode. XD Since it's almost over I can let you know if the final episode is any good or not before you invest time in watching it if you like~ :D

Lost was so awesome. I miss it ;_;

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Let me know how it ends, and if everyone gets a happy ending: I'll watch it. I don't want to start something, only for it to end in a "rock falls, everybody dies" kind of way.


I want another show like LOST, but I'm sure that won't happen for a few years.

[strawberry-fzz.livejournal.com]

Sure thing~ :Db

LOST is definitely a type of show that's hard to come by. There may be shows that try hard to be like LOST but it's a difficult feat indeed. I hope we get lucky someday!

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

I think The Even tried to be the new LOST, but I hear it isn't a very good show.

[strawberry-fzz.livejournal.com]

Finally found the time to finish Nagareboshi and I must say, not a bad, tragic ending at all. :D It didn't blow my mind or anything but it left me satisfied. I green light it~ :Db

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll probably watch it after its all subtitled!

I have so many dramas in my hard drive, but I want to watch somethink relly interesting)) I love Bloody Monday)) I thinking about Tsuki no koibito , Sunao ni Narenakute, Natsu no Koi wa Niji-iro ni Kagayaku... should iwatch it.... don't know...

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

I couldn't even finish Tsuki no koibito ,or Sunao ni Narenakute. They left such small impressions that I forgot I started and dropped them. With Tsuki - the spent over half the show building up one OTP, only to drop it and form another during the last three episodes. With no time jump. No,nothing. I didn't get that. With Sunao ni Narenakute, it was like Last Friends all over again - only worse. I was very disappointed as that was written by one of my favorite writers.


I really liked Natsu no Koi wa Niji-iro ni Kagayaku. I forgot it aired last season. It was a bit too slow, but it was good.

[bellemelody.livejournal.com]

thank youI will watch Natsu no Koi wa Niji-iro ni Kagayaku.

and maybe personal pref.))

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Be warned: PP was slow at first and a lot of the characters were horrible (Ok, just the secondary girl. He's just not into you!) But, it's all worth it for the OTP.

Recently, I've gotten into Ogon no Buta -episodic, but the banter and chemistry between characters is good :)

I'd also recommend Juunen Saki mo Kimi ni Koishite, which is short but sweet. Future guy goes back 10 years and tries to break his past relationship up, because his wife ends up unhappy, but as love stories go, things don't go as planned :)

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Is Juunen Saki mo Kimi ni Koishite subbed?

[lastingdreams8.livejournal.com]

If you're willing to watch it streaming, it's on DramaCrazy. I'm not sure where to get it anywhere else ^^

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

I'm not a huge fan of streaming, but if there is no other way, I'll give it a go.

Its Okay, Daddy's Girl has one of those long family drama feels to it but its a short 16 ep kdrama. Its airing right now and I like it a lot. I wish it got more love.

Wow, I sometimes can barely manage real life because it constantly interrupts drama watching! Congrats to you though for pulling it off!

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

I've heard very mixed things on Daddy's Girl - why are you enjoying it? I watched the first two episodes, and wasn't impressed. Was there something I missed? The storyline sounds like something I'd like, but I'm conflicted.


Thanks!

[att123.livejournal.com]

Right now I think it has promise, and I've been on a family drama kick so I really liked it. I also think the father daughter relationship is cute. I'll see how things go for a couple more episodes to make a full decision on the drama.

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Let me know how it goes. If its worth it.

[att123.livejournal.com]

Of course! I know how you love family dramas, and you've always given me good drama recs. Happy to return the favor.

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Keep me posted on how the drama goes.
