I don’t like those pre-mixed ones because they’re soo full of sugar. Making your own oatmeal is fun, as sad as it sounds.

I really dislike Korean dramas. It seems like every unsuccessful relationship leads to depression/suicide. Lame.

I love those 4 dramas too, the old ones were the best! Stairway to Heaven was okay too… a bit too sad for me. I really can’t stand Choi Ji Woo because her roles are always so dumb and annoying.

Thanks for the recs!

I started watching Lovers in Prague but couldn’t finish it. Have you seen Lovers in Paris? It’s the second Korean drama I’ve ever watched… loved it!

Yeah Goong and Princess Hours is the same thing I think… it’s good! The main girl is sooo cute (she’s the girl in Coffee Price and Take Care of My Lady). You should watch it since you probably have a lot of time on your hands in Kamloops.

You should watch the K version.. I heard it goes off from the original story line but it’s major eye candy. Yum.

well now… there’s on need for me to watch any korean dramas since you’ve already summed them all up!!! I almost fell over laughing at the “stare into space while sappy music plays” description haha…

Suckers like me would totally fall for the rich dude best friend type.

My fave is still Lovers in Paris, Full House, My Girl and My Lovely Kim Sam Soon. Stairway to Heaven is okay. haha XD

Man don’t forget the piggyback-riding couple in every series XD haha. and there’s always the crazy best friend or something. hahaa

I love how there are Filipino versions of K-Dramas. I’ve seen both Filipino versions of “Only You” and “My Girl.” You’ll also almost always find those four typical characters in Asian dramas in general.

This is a direct DL I’ve watched it from here and the quality was amazing!

I love this version, I never got the chance to watch the Korean version.

I get all my direct downloads from http://asianuniverse.net
They require an account and frequent postings to be able to access their download contents, just in case if you were interested in other Asian dramas. =] I copied and paste the links from the page and I’m not sure if some of them are still working. If you need I can always upload episodes for you if they don’t work since I have them saved. LOL.

HANA YORI DANGO

HANA YORI DANGO 2

That’s where I started watching it but I didn’t like the quality… it makes the show so dark and depressing! Can you send me link to the direct DL?

By: Adrienne

Adrienne — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 06:07:00 +0000

Hopefully these can help.

i think i might have to start watching Boys Over Flowers, it seems like everyone loves it. Have you watched Princess Hours? heard it’s pretty good

By: Katy

Katy — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:26:22 +0000

I’ve seen Coffee Prince… it was okay but I think I have to re-watch it because I only remember the beginning. I finished Goong two days ago and started Soulmate last night but I think I’m going to watch City Hall instead. I love Kim Sun Ah!

By: Katy

Katy — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:24:39 +0000

Thanks =D

Watched Coffee Prince but not Absolute Boyfriend. Thanks for the suggestion!

I prefer lighter and funnier dramas too.. the super sob ones are okay but they get really annoying. The girls in those dramas are usually way-over-the-top stupid and naive. Yuck.

By: Katy

Katy — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:22:51 +0000

I started watching it but stopped after the second episode because the quality sucked. Maybe if I find a better streaming site, I’ll start watching it again.

I’m more of a jdrama addict but I definitely second the person who recommended City Hall to you. It was hilarious, and it pulled me in so much that I was yelling at the screen and laughing and crying at it all the time!

And keep going with the original Goong, it’s lovely and OH MY GOD. The First Shop of Coffee Prince is a must watch! I’m really surprised someone else hasn’t recommended it yet!

By: Carol

Carol — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 05:36:10 +0000

How about Coffee Prince kdrama and Absolute Boyfriend jdrama? Stairway to Heaven is also good but throughout the whole show I find myself crying non-stop. I would prefer something lighter, my absolute fave is still My Girl and I have watched it more than 5 times. Btw, i love your blog and tweets

OH MY GOD.

I love any type of Asian drama, but I’m really into Japanese Dramas. My favorite was Hana Yori Dango – that was the J version of your K, Boys Over Flowers. I watched a bunch of random series and such, but JDramas will always be my fave! I just really love the Japanese language, and this will sound so weird, but I’ve actually learned a few words from watching shows. Odd, but so true.

From what I remember they’ve always been based on love and jealousy or revenge between characters. You would see a lot of girls being slapped in the face by another girl, a lot of crying, yelling, violence, and gore. Not sure if K-drama has any of that but from what I saw I like K-drama better of course. =D

My first ever drama I watched was Full House and that got me hooked to dramas.

One of my recent favourite j drama is Hana Yori Dango. I’ve been meaning to watch the Korean version though, and I can see you’ve already watched it. Hana Kimi is a good one too. Oh, and My Lovely Sam-Soon is one of my favourites too! It’s just too cute.

Sigh.. this makes me want to watch dramas again.

By: Adrienne

Adrienne — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:12:19 +0000

Have you seen Hana Yori Dango, Boys Over Flowers in Japanese? I guess that’s what you call the original one.. It’s so good and addicting!! =]]

By: Katy

Katy — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:27:25 +0000

Yes they’re sooo good, sooo addicting and sooo time consuming. Most of them have English subs too. Check out http://www.dramafever.com
