Who loves to watch Korean dramas on TV?I do. I really love watching their dramas, especially those dramas which are based on their history and legend. The stories are great. I really learned something about their culture. They have also great locations that a tourist may want to visit someday, like me.
The first Korean drama that got me hooked was entitled "Full House" with Bi (Rain) and Song Hye Gyo. It's a romance comedy about a lady who lost his house because she was scammed by her own friends and in order to have it back, she must enter into a contract marriage to the guy who bought it. Love it!Then, the recent drama I am following right now was entitled "The Legend" (Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi). This was based on a legend about the four Gods left on earth to be awaken by a great King who was about to be born. The effects are wonderful for a television drama. The actors are great too. I even love the soundtrack even though I'm not a Korean and don't speak Hangul. The melodies really touched me and brought out appropriate emotions. Though the ending was a disappointment, overall, it really is worth watching. I am now a Bae Yong Joon and Lee Ji Ah love team fan. I don't even know these actors until I saw this drama. The actors portrayed their roles exceedingly, especially Lee Ji Ah. The drama won most of the awards from MBC. I can't get enough of this drama. I watched it many times now with my DVD copy.
The other dramas I already watched were Dae-jang-geum a.k.a. Jewel in the Palace, Hwang Jin Yi, Joo Mong, Princess Hours, Princess Lulu, and Coffee Prince. Now, I'm still awaiting for the next drama that will get me hooked again.

But, i was just recently got into Yi San (which was presently airing in South Korea, it's a story of a king that ruled for 24 years. It's a nice drama though) and i have just finish watching Lovers starring Kim Jung-Eun who also starred in Princess Lulu.. Oh, I really love that drama.. It made me cry, made me laugh..

Hi zamalia. I do agree with you. I love korean movies. For my honest opinion korean drama is the best in comedy, sad story and etc. Just try to look at Full House. Although the story was so supposed to be very serious but they mix the story line to be hilarious comedy, sad, tears and of course hard. There are many other korean movies or drama that really amusing. Some of them are too beautiful to lie, something about 1%,my girl, marrying the mafia, silver knife, unstoppable marriage, and my little bride (not the drama version : it's movie).

You said it. Korean dramas are one of the best. I really enjoyed watching them. I wish I knew Hangul (Korean language) so that I would appreciate it even more than I appreciate it now. I'm trying to learn the basics now on my own but its hard. Do anyone here know where I can learn Hangul online?
BTW, try watching "The Legend." You're gonna love it!

Oh, I have no heard of "The Legend," but I do love watching Korean dramas. I like the Japanese ones as well. My favorite Korean drama is Full House. Sometimes I think the foreign dramas are more interesting than the ones here in the states. I also watch on mysoju.com and really enjoy it as it was recommended to me by a friend. I am currently watching a Japanese drama called Hana-Kimi, which also has a manga series.

I also love watching Korean dramas. Actually not only dramas but their movies as well. I also like their theme songs eventhough i can't understand the language. I first fell in love with Korean dramas when i watched Endless Love I with Song Hye Go. I watched many of them now through mysoju and crunchyroll. In cruncyroll, there are also movies like The Little Bride and Innocent Steps. These are really good Korean movies. You can also find Taiwan and Japan movies at these sites.

I love the theme songs too! I even memorized the lyrics even though I don't understand it, word for word I mean. I really can't get enough of the theme songs of The Legend (Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi), especially the one entitled "Forgive me" theme song of Sujini, I think, one of the main characters. Love her! She made a great performance of her(Lee Ji Ah) role. Exceptional!
If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend that you do.

Hi! You watched so many dramas. I chose the dramas I watched though. What I love are those dramas that are unique that do not have much heavy drama. I like watching those dramas mixed with comedy. It makes the whole watching experience enjoyable. You feel mixed emotions too. Some parts you cried, some parts you're frustrated like the characters and some parts you really laugh out loud. You even fall in love with the characters. (BYJ&LJA Fan forever!)

I love watching korean Drama. Their story is unique
and very sweet. Theres something about the plot and storyline that is very interesting. I guessed I just
clamor for something different...something out of the ordinary.
