So if any of you reading this have any suggestions of dramas you want us to recap, feel free to post comments and we’d decide whether or not to write about it

LEILA

King 2 Hearts - It is my drama crack for the season! I simply love it. Wednesday and Thursday are a favorite once again since Prince Jae Ha can make me forget work. He’s funny and imperfect. I detest him at times but swoons for him at most.   I’m enjoying every minute. So give it a GO! Trust me, it’s Lee Seung Gi at his finest ♥

Love Rain – To be honest, this is a bit slow for my taste. If without the gorgeous cinematography, I might have doze off already. But that aside, the sun has a different radiance here since the color palette is simply awestanding!  Morevoer, Jang Geun Suk is wearing his heart on his sleeve while Yoona is kinda bland, IMO. Geun Suk is in his charismatic self, making you feel like he’s truly in love. For now, I’m enjoying it since I love taking screen shots on this one. Though, can this drama be more than what meets the eye?

TESSIEROO

King 2 Hearts – Reunification between North and South Korea via a type of “Olympic” games? Okay, it’s not as politically boring as that sounds. In fact right now this one is my obsession. Perfect amount of tension around the serious storyline (although the wackadoodle evil guy leaves me a tiny bit bored) Perfect amount of humor and flirty-fighting going on between the OTP. (the humor IS dark so it’s easy to miss, once you catch it – it’s beyond hysterical) HOT chemistry between Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Ki.

Rooftop Prince – OMO, my sides hurt watching this one from laughing so hard. Yoochun, Han Ji Min and the boys that form “F4″ are hitting the ball outta the park here with spot-on comedy. I’ve never laughed this hard watching a drama! EVER! The story itself leaves a tiny bit to be desired – pretty cliche characters (evil sister, evil second lead, chaebol family, some fighting for power) But the funny stuff drags me back. Not sure how the romance will work (or when it will start) but I’m loving the ride.

Fashion King – ???? Not sure about this one yet. The lead female has been lied to, slapped, beaten up, lied to some more and thrown out. The violence turns me off big time! There are also cliche characters in this one (evil mom & daughter business rivals for our lead) but I keep coming back to watch the subbed versions just to see where this goes. Plus how far down are they going to beat the lead female character before she finally starts to win?

Love Rain – Awww, first love in the 70′s. Amazingly beautiful cinematography, can’t take my eyes away from the screen! (seriously, it’s just gorgeous) Love the clothing, music and mood. I’m in the minority enjoying this one for the sweet, innocent story unfolding. Pace is slow but I don’t mind. Hoping the chemistry between our leads lights up some, right now there is zero chemistry.

Fondant Garden – Tawianese drama surrounding a cake baker who ends up with 2 men in love with her. (is it the cakes? Sign me up for baking classes) Park Jung Min (SS501) playing the lead male, he’s adorable – his smile is contagious. Pretty light rom-com but easy to just watch and not think too much. So far, no evil characters. (I know – shock right?)

My Splendid Life – Tawianese remake of the Korean drama “Shining Inheritance” I love Jerry Yan and even though I know what this story is about I have to watch him. The story is pretty much following the Korean version EXACTLY but I don’t care. *hee* Chemistry between Jerry and Yedda Chen is adorable and sparks are flying all over the place. They’re a good team.
