My next drama to binge on? K.O. 3an Guo thematic predecessor The X-Family (they are both part of a thematic trilogy which started with K.O. One and have characters in common

Oh man, I tried X-Family but it was extremely over-the-top and not in the best way - I was quickly put off. But perhaps since you know the framework story you might be able to get more into it and it's length of 50 episodes IIRC. Jiro did look good in it, I seem to recall. :)

Ah Taiwan's version of Absolute Boyfriend! Interesting, might check out eventually. :)

I don't know. It's by the same people who made KO 3an Guo, and for some reason, even though it's OTT, it really works for me, even though drama comedy never does. So here's hoping.

At least this AB will have more make-outs :)

I am kinda hoping Xiao Qiao makes him jump through hoops - she's totally the gal for the job.

Hehehe.

I slaver at the thought...

Yessssssssssss.

Momo Love was great! It's cute and light and funny. Tao Hua's older brothers are also eye candy. I marathon-ed it when waiting for new episodes of Love Buffet.

I haven't seen KO 3an Guo or Rolling Love, but both don't seem to be my cup of tea. Rolling Love looks too angsty. Somehow I can tell from the hair. =P I'll wait for your feedback on it.

I spoiled self for RL and it is pretty angsty - emo times 12.

I haven't heard good things about X-Family but KO3 (the first one in the trilogy) is ridiculous and hilarious in an oddly addicting way.

Momo Love started out utterly adorable and heartbreakingly sweet and then utterly trainwrecked about halfway through. EVERYTHING stopped making sense. It was almost BOF levels of badness. You can try it, but I suspect you'll get impatient long before it's over.

Also I tried Rolling Love because I love Jiro but it was so yawnworthy that I gave up after the first ep.

[dangermousie]

But in Rolling Love, heroine is blind and regains eyesight partway through. I could put up with a lot of ff for that level of crazy and emo!

Re: X-F. I read a very detailed, very spoilery synopsis and it seems like a deliciously lunatic shounen manga come to life. I cannot resist.

She also gets kidnapped by psycho stalker - and secondary guy has major angsty guilt over her blindness. And suicide comes up toward the end of the drama but you'd never guess from where.

OMG, lol, it sounds kdramaish. Hey, as long as Jiro has a happy ending...
