Originally I did not plan to watch reply 1994 simply because while I enjoyed Reply 1997 for what it was, it wasn't on my favorites list. However, after seeing so many people become obsessed with the husband mystery I just had to jump on the band-wagon
Reply 1994 was a long ride of nostalgia,laughs,and tears,I was instantly drawn to each characters stories and they way they interacted with each other in their small college boarding house. The characters all have nicknames that are easy to remember and impossible to forget once you've finished the drama. Go Ara really impressed me with this role she was Na-Jeong in and out and gave one of the most sincere performances of the year. Jung woo and Yoo Yeon Seok are the best male leads to be in a love triangle with both funny and Deliciously cute you'll find yourself rooting for both to get the girl at the end.
The music is beautiful and catchy, and most importantly appropriate to the decades quirky charms. I'm happy to say Reply 1994 is my favorite drama of 2013.

When a drama like this comes around is when i truly start to feel spoiled as a viewer... like what did I ever do to deserve to watch such an inspiring fictional story unfold before my eyes? I'll never have the answer for that, but I can let you know that you should also take advantage of said opportunity :)

I Hear your voice wasn't by any means a groundbreaking drama...what can be original nowadays anyways? However its the way the writer executed the plot and gave each character a likability factor that made me realize that originality doesn't bake a delicious drama cake. This show had a recipe that i've hardly tasted before in dramaland, I honestly fell in love with 90% of the characters and the remaining 10% had a place in my heart filled with pity and hope. I hated no one to be honest and thats because in the end i learned things from each and everyone of them. This shows explores its themes very well and you won't feel like you lave to keep on licking the plate to get them... the lessons are just there! Lee Bo Young was the standout performer to me, her acting was fiery as lawyer Jang and i can't picture any one else playing her as she did with such ease. The remaining cast as well did a a phenomenal job of course, they all had great chemistry and worked off each other well.
All in all this is no less than a must see and an instant classic in my book..well done drama well done.

The Innocent Man rounds off my dramas for 2012 as my favorite of the year. Although confusing, the pilot episode is compelling with solid characters that pull you in for a bumpy ride filled with twist,turns,laughs,and tears.
The Reason why I think this drama worked so well was because of the amazing cast. From an outsiders perspective it seems like your typical korean melodrama centered on revenge, but with actors like Song Jong Ki, Moon Chea Won, and Park Shi Yeon...you just can't go wrong. I had never seen any of these actors in any other dramas or movies before so I was pleasantly surprised at their abilities. Song Jong Ki immediately captivated my heart as Kang Maru with his cold expressions and arrogance of his intelligence that seeped through the screen. He made this drama for me. I was also blown away by the leading lady Moon Chae Won, her way of transcending from a badass bitch to a girl without a clue was flawless. These two definitely deserve some awards this year as well as a best couple award since their on screen chemistry was off the charts. Park Shi Yeon plays a convincing villan that you'll love to hate but still feel pity for her at the same time.
The musical score was what gave the intense seen that dab of hot sauce...It kept you're blood pumping and made you anticipate the next move of a character.
In the end I would definitely get my friends and family to watch it because no one should be deprived from such greatness :)

1 litre of tears... the title is no joke.
What can I say? It's my favorite Asian drama of all time, and with good reason. The story (which is based off real events from Aya's dairy) transitions well onto this on screen drama about a girl who struggles with finding happiness within herself and seeing the ones she loves struggle with the obstacles that come with her disease.
Ericka Sawajiri's acting could not have been better, the way she portrayed the disease slowly progressing episode by episode was truly what made this drama feel so real. The supporting family actors were phenomenal as well, especially the father,mother, and older sister. They were the ones that gave insight on what a family has to deal with when someone is striken ill. Ryo Nishikido's character was a great fictional add on, the slight romance between him and Aya was simple and sweet...even if it made your heart burst.
Musical score was great, with many amazing acts and bands who's songs fit with every heart-wrenching scene and flowed with each tear.
This drama will make you question, "what if this was my family?" Which is why i think so many people can relate to it on an emotional level so well. GO WATCH IT :)

Cable network TvN continues to shine with their original well-written drama installments with the third enlistment of the "flower boy" series. "Flower Boy Next Door", was a feel good rom-com with just enough angst to give its characters and plot lone the depth and emotion it needed.
Flower Boy Next Door Is not a series that relied heavily on the beautiful cinematography and flashy sets that you've come expect from Korean dramas. It relied mostly on the characters, and how each of them interacted with each other to bring out the best( and worst) in one another. It was entertaining to see them quarrel,laugh,bicker,banter, and sometimes cry when things took a comedic or dramatic turn and by the end you'll see dramatic transformations that aren't forced, but instead make sense because you've seen all they've went through together.
The cast was superb! yoon shi yoon was on fire in this series, Its tough to make a childish character like Enrique likeable but he pulled it off with such ease and grace that you almost never get annoyed by his over the top antics. Park shin Hye really surprised me in this role because Go Dok Mi is not your typical K-drama lead girl she's quite, reserved and very lonely with a hidden past, a character with many layers that isn't easy to portray and I believed every single scene she was in.
The musical score was beautiful and fit the drama according to the scenes...nicely done. All in all Flower Boy Next Door is a must watch for the 2013 drama season, don't miss out!
