undeniably a few years back then, korean dramas are never my preference. those days i was still so into hk series like 'threshold of an era', 'war and beauty' and all those police, lawyers related series.
after watching princess hours for like 82037945 times, i began to notice a change in the plot development of korean dramas. credits to script writers eh. as compared to hongkong dramas, korean dramas of recent years are more refreshing. no doubt they have more scenic settings which plays vital role in attracting viewers, not to mention the fresh faces of korean celebrities which are practically the main enticement of most teenagers and oh bah sangs (middle-aged women).
but one thing i wanted to clarify, i still HATE taiwan dramas. STILL! i never took the initiative to comprehend why people would wanna watch an-ok-looking-but-acts like a wood-guy and a crying 24/7-slightly pretty-also act like a wood-girl acting in a 1000 episodes drama. it's exactly murdering film-strips i must say. the plot is bad, the actors and actresses are those of cannot make it, the settings are of jalan chow kit standard, and they have the worse dialogues in the chinese entertainment industry. WAHLAO! it's like n-number of years since taiwan started to produce dramas, and they have yet to (slightly) improve their plots.
i know korean dramas used to be like that too. those days when winter sonata is the cause of frenzy among teenagers whereby the leading actor and actresses are always separated by a 'hu li jing' and that when they get together, either one has third phase leukemia or kena accident. but hey, people DO improve ok? that's what i meant by versatility. no wonder why korean dramas could penetrate into and dominate the asian market in only a few years time. oh! and yes their OST definitely gets you in the mood. so good, so good!
suffice of criticisms and compliments, currently there are 3 korean dramas i would like to get hold of.
first is >> Surgeon Bong Dal Hee
i know Surgeon Bong Dal Hee is currently on air at 8tv, every monday to thursday 7pm, but since i've missed most of the episodes cause my mom wants to watch wong fei hong, so too bad. it caught my attention the first time i saw the advertistment since it's depicting the life of resident surgeons and they decipher various complicated medical terms in it. also, they have one of korea's most talented actor, lee bum soo (4th from right in poster) in it. OH!!!! must watch! must watch!
haven't watched it so can't make any comments. but i heard it's a good one since again they have lee bum soo and the long-time-no-see song yoon ah in it.
lastly >> Mawang
the main reason i wanna watch this is because i saw the poster below......
man! it's Joo Ji Hoon, prince Lee Shin in Princess Hours. oh my! never thought he possesed THIS charisma in princess hours. but here, he was so ...so... so... that thing, you know. i think it's charm. not handsome, but charm.
and the storyline is rather interesting too. Joo Ji Hoon plays the antagonist, he's a SERIAL KILLER! another must watch.
P/S: anyone knows where i could watch the full series of the above dramas online, please do let me know. and if you know of any more tantalizing hk or korean dramas, do let me know too. kamsahamnida!
(and and and i don't want those love story ones ar.. ahhaha... )
