I am utterly insanely exhausted from last night's squee-fest. After watching AnD episode 8, I was all hyper and didn't go to sleep until 2am. And then I woke up late this morning, and blaah. I'm dead to the world

RnK has quite a lot comedic elements in addition to the murder plot. It took a while to find the right balance between sad and funny moments, but all-in-all, I though it very enjoyable.
ALTK is one of the quintessential 'they love each but circumsntances and they themselves are too messed up to ever work it out' kdramas :D. Wonderful moments, wonderful characterisation, and just the feeling of impending doom (this will never work out) are the main characteristics of this drama.
Silence is a mixed bag. It's the angstiest drama I've ever seen with Zai Zai playing a guy who almost from the start of the drama discovers he has inoperable liver cancer and is going to die any minute now. And this is just after coming across a spunky mute girl who berates his cold company executive character for laying off several people, including her adoptive father.
Little does he know that Shen Shen is actually the girl he met during childhood and fell in love with, without ever realizing she's mute.
On the other hand, Shen Shen's adoptive brother also has more than brotherly feelings towards her, and as things develop, does his best to sabotage a possible relationship between the two others.
The drama really struggles along during the middle parts with flashbacks after flashbacks that have been shown a couple of hundred times before already, and I feel that it would have been a better drama with some tighter editing.
If you are in the mood for a good cry, this is the drama to go to, since it has a lot of excellent emotional moments if you just fast forward through some of the repetitive stuff.
And Zai Zai looks HOT! No terminal cancer patient ever looked as good as he does in this drama XD!

It has excellent acting and not too much melodrama (though it does have some very deliberately emotional moments), but still a very tearjerker plot very much fitting with the name of the drama :).
BTW, the main love interest, Nishikido Ryo, also appears in Ryusei no Kizuna.
