Asian Drama List
I'm making a list of dramas that I've watched. It may be useful for anybody who's looking for other things to watch. I'm only including kdrama, jdrama and twdrama, since hkdrama is ...... no opinions. Also I usually watch way more TWdrama if they weren't so weird since I don't need to wait for subs.
♥ is obviously the series I love. Ordered by completion date.

Gokusen 2 - Gokusen 1 with the teacher was awful enough, but with Kame in it, I'm just *shudders*.
Proposal Daisakusen - I love the storyline - but I just can't stand watching the same thing over and over again for 8 more episodes. [Up to 1ep]
Stand Up!! - I really can't finish this :(
Finished Watching
Hana Yori Dango 1 & 2 - ♥ - I loved the TW version, and it's Jun, so what's not to love. And Oguri. It's really cute, really. It's less threatening compared to the TW version - much fluffier and less angst.
Gokusen 1 - I watched this because MatsuJun was it in. I couldn't stand the patronizing music and the teacher. It just made the series that much worst.
Kimi wa Petto - I watched it because it had MatsuJun in it. The series concept was weird already, and the entire series was totally weird too. I loved MatsuJun in it though. It was so cute, minus the weird hairstyle.
Nobuta wo Produce - I forgot why or how I got into it. But it's amazingly cute and sweet. And hellllo, undertone of Yamapi and Kame!
Kurosagi - I watched it because Jess said it was good and it had Yamapi and Mao in it. I love it! It's kind of dark and twisted though.
Nodame Cantabile - ♥♥ - This show is amazing. Nodame <333
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e - ♥ - I originally read the first chapters or so from a sneakpeek book from AE2005. I was so glad to find the manga online because reading the transcript isn't as interesting. ANYWAY, I love it so much. Sano is so cute with his non-expression face, but sneaks in the random smiles here and there. Nakatsu has the funniest and cutest expressions - he makes me sad in a way. Ashiya - idk, she's cute in some ways and not so much in other ways. WATCH IT THOUGH.
Nodame Cantabile Special - &hearts - Still as amazing as ever. It continues where the series left off and never ceases to amaze me.
[I'm missing a lot of the older ones I watched with Cantonese dubs!]

Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang - Yeah I don't know. I'm at ep 12?
Upcoming
Goong 2 - whenever it comes out.
Spring Waltz - shut up, I can't believe I haven't watched this yet.
The Vineyard Man - It looks promising and the two characters won best couple of the year award.
Permanently On Hold
Goong S - omg >___< It's so weird and bad.
9 Ends 2 Outs - It's totally weird and confusing. They all look the same, or I thinK I need to watch more than the one episode. [Ep1]
Finished Watching
Full House - oh dear god. I'm so glad I got this done and over with. I'm sorry, but the series' premise was AWFUL to start with. I just shake my head and race through the entire thing. I know so many people loved it, but I just hated it.
Goong - It's pretty funny - I even downloaded the Chinese subs to finish the series. I just didn't like some of the parts. But overall, it's definitely good - and good eye candies.
My Name is Kim Sam Soon - ♥ - I love it. I love dramas that have crazy and real conflicts. And Hyun Bin <3 along with the delicious desserts.
Oh! Pil Seung And Bong Soon Young - LOL, just LOL. I guess if you have time, you should watch it. It's cute, I guess. But the ending is wtf, so I felt cheated from the ending.
Coffee Prince - ♥♥ - I'm 100% recommending it. Even though it really isn't a boy/boy relationship, the poor character has to overcome his feeling for the boy - who really is a girl. It's a mix of HanaKimi with Full House!
Exhibition of Fireworks - I watched this out of a random muse of needing to watch drama. I was surprised at how not bad the entire series was. I would say it's watchable when there's not much exciting things to watch - it IS watchable and I didn't crazy fast-forwarded parts.
My Girl - The beginning was totally weird, and I end up skipping some parts, but I still love it. I love the fact that it's more than just a love-square relationship drama and there's still a plot to the end of the series.
Dal Ja's Spring - I watched this based on recommendation and found out the lead female character was Bong Soon Young! She looks totally different and fake :( I enjoyed the series a lot, through the different storylines and such. I can't believe the male lead is only 22 in real life. He's so adorable.

Corner With Love - Jess's suggestion. It's semi-okay, but I'm pretty 50/50 on the series, so it's taking forever.
Upcoming
It Started With A Kiss 2 - Sigh, end of 2007 and I wonder what it's going to be on.
Legend of the Condor Heroes 2007 - Srsly, they JUST remade this, and now there's now another remake. But it's Ariel and Hu Ge... I hope Hu Ge gets well soon. :(
Sweet Relationship - I have no idea, I guess I'll have to watch the first episode first.
Why Why Love - LOL I don't know. There's Rainie, Mike and Kingone.
Finished Watching
Meteor Garden 1 & 2 - It is like... the foundation of crazy asian drama fangirls!
It Started With A Kiss - I loved the beginning, even half way of it, but hated the last few episodes.
Love Contract - I have crazy mixed feeling for this series. On one hand I love the story premise and the ending, but there's a big 'wtf' to it. Note to those who want to watch it: get the fwd button ready, it's more on leaned towards 'artistic' and 'real life' (whatever that means), so it's slow and sometimes the camera just sits there for a looong while before anything happens.
Devil Beside You - ♥ - I love love it. Obvs I have a thing for weird conflicts yo.
Fairy From Wonderland - ♥ - I want to give it 3/4 of a heart. It's SO CUTE but so sad too. But Ariel and Hu Ge make up for everything. [It's filmed in China, but tw sort of!]
Prince Turns to Frog - ♥ - Why am I such a sucker of these (at least it's good) cliche dramas?
The Magicians of Love - LOL, oh geebuz. It's so cliche and lame :(
Smiling Pasta - It's so cute and random and weird. But the main guy character is eye candy, so it makes up for it.
Tokyo Juliet - I'm getting there *glares* I lose interest easily and there's too much weird whining and insecurity. I love the premise and look forward to finishing it. (I'm so glad Ariel got the part because Angela Zhang was going to be in it as Ariel, but thankyouthankyouthankyou.)
Didn't Finish
Hana Kimi - STAB. Don't get me started on it.
Bump Off Lover - wtf......
There are still more, but I'm racking my brain to see what the titles are call :(
