my two centavos.
i'm not an expert on asian dramas - i can still count with my fingers how many i've watched fully. lol. but here are the ones i've watched and still enjoy watching over and over again...
1. my mvp valentine (tw drama)
i like the basketball theme. this was shown in gma as a response to meteor garden. i didn't watch meteor garden but watched this one instead. i don't regret it. johnny yan and that guy who played ice man were waaaaay cool! i hated angel but she turned good in the end.
also love the soundtrack.
2. endless love - autumn tale (kr drama)
the first koreanovela on primetime. great story, depressing though. but this has sentimental value because it was the first koreanovela i've watched. eye candy = won bin
3. hero (j drama)
an unconventional prosecutor kuryu is transferred to a division in tokyo as punishment for not playing the politics game. his idealism and brilliant mind makes a big impression on his colleagues, and on his assistant amamiya in particular. looooove the subtle development of the kuryu-amamiya relationship. and the bartender who can serve anything is waaaay cool. and kimutaku is beyond cool!
4. ko one (tw drama)
i'll just quote my reply in the ko one thread. eheheh parang si ya se... corina shuo:
love love love this drama! downloaded this from d-addicts and it was worth it!
not just because it's the series that launched fahrenheit as a group, but because the story's different from the usual boy-girl, love-hate idol drama. the lead characters really had character arcs, with ya se wang's character arc being the most interesting. dunno if i should elaborate, at baka maging spoiler sa hindi pa nakapanood. oh well here goes anyway. mods, paki-delete na lang kung di pwede.
what else i love about it:
1. da dong and ya se's terms of endearment being "narcissist" and "egomaniac"
2. their cool/silly weapons: a pan and a teeny sword stuck in a stone with a user's manual?
3. the quotes... gotta love the quotes, especially from ya se "shakespeare shuo..." and when he met ko 9 who can quote as well... LOL
4. duang chang ren and his restaurant that serves anything!
5. ya se and wu xiong's love story: the guy who hated girls finds true love and gets the girl!
6. xiao yu composing a song about an qi's period (at least that's what i understood)?!?!?
7. the special episode is even more hilarious: arron imitating a pigeon that's about to explode, calvin doing the robot dance, arron giving "devil sound waves to the brain"... =))
conclusion: obvious ba, i just love this drama! silly humor and all...
duang cheng ren is reminiscent of that bartender in hero. lol
5. fuma no kojiro (j drama/live action)
since discovering this drama in doremii's site, i've been a big fan of theirs. and they subbed ko one and are subbing x-family! back on topic, this is a highly entertaining live action version of the manga. i personally find kojiro annoying but this series also has the coolest/most sympathetic bad guy - musashi! not to mention that this series just has a eye candy by the truckloads! reira, musashi, mibu, the twins <3333333
i'll probably add the x-family to this list once i've watched the whole thing...
