this post is for the ever lovable tonieboo0013 who asked me for
花より男子 [HANA YORI DANGO] (JP)
this was the drama that (mercilessly) dragged me to the JE fandom, kudos to Matsumoto Jun. i've watched meteor garden (the taiwanese adaptation) and boys over flowers (the korean adaptation) but i love the japanese version above all--when considering doumyoji and makino's love story. idk, i consider this a must-watch for any drama fan so if you haven't watched it, go do so right now :D!
微笑 Pasta [SMILING PASTA] (TW)
this drama was unnecessarily long and littered with cliches, but the main leads are cute and adorable--plus their chemistry is the main reason to give it a try. the story is nothing new, with a tortured, popular male lead with family problems and a clumsy, naive female lead who has an optimistic view in life. but there was something in the delivery of the cast that just made the story a bit more special :D
풀하우스 [FULL HOUSE] (KR)
now that i think about it, this drama was waaaay too long for the plot that i remember it has lol. but full house is a light and fun drama! i adore song hye kyo so that's an added plus haha. but seriously, it was sweet and lovely. i have nothing but fond memories for this drama :")
木更津キャッツアイ [KISARAZU CAT'S EYE] (JP)
if you're looking for laughs and stupidity all around, WATCH THIS. i had so much fun watching this entire thing and i get a silly grin on my face when i think about it. SO MUCH FUN TIMES, no lie. i thought the episodes were pretty well thought out for a story with almost no plot. that, plus a cast that i just adore to bits. this is one of the dramas that i will never ever fail to recommend to anyone
꽃보다 남자 [BOYS OVER FLOWERS] (KR)
i love korean dramas for the stunning camera work--their episodes have this polished quality about them that i love, so that's one up for this korean adaptation. the drama is mostly eye candy, but although i prefer the japanese adaptation over this one, this was a pretty good drama in itself. they actually delivered the best version of Soujiro/Yi Jeong and Yuki/Ga Eul's story. i think that's reason enough to watch
ブザー・ビート [BUZZER BEAT] (JP)
i'm usually no fan of yamapi dramas (or yamapi, in general) but this drama was just...magnetic. i remember resisting watching it but in the end, i was weak i gave in. it's a deep drama disguising itself as a cute one. on the outside, it is about basketball players working hard to be recognized etc etc but there's so much going on on the inside that just... i can't even explain. i just adore this. and how cute is yamapi/kitagawa keiko? *u*
내 여자친구는 구미호 [MY GIRLFRIEND IS A GUMIHO] (KR)
sajasbdjaskbdasjd i do not have words for this drama other than i love it to bits. it's cute, there are interesting twists, the SCRIPT IS PERFECT. the lead girl is PERFECTION (my ultimate korean girl!crush in the history of ever) and the lead boy is adorable sakdjbas
on other news, i am currently watching Playful Kiss. it's all right so far? something about the arrogant boy/naive girl complex irks me, but it delivers pretty doki doki moments so i can let it pass :D
AND I JUST DISCOVERED THE PERFECTION THAT IS CHRIS HEMSWORTH. OH MY GOD.
