I love Kdramas sooo much (as well as Jdramas and Cdramas). In each language/style some are amazing and some not so much. But I can give you a list off the top of my head of 5-10 excellent Kdramas and Cdramas you just might love. (smile)

Please mark as spoiler.

I have seen the Kdrama version and it is one of my favorites! I was reading through some of these comments to see if I should try the Japanese version and I noticed several of the comments have revealing statements. Please don't ruin it for other people and be sure to mark your comments as spoilers. Thanks.

One of my favorite dramas is "I'm Sorry, I Love You." It should be rated much higher than it is! You're a great actor, So Ji Sub, and I hope you do another drama/movie soon. Miss you. Take care.

This drama started out pretty good, but now it seems a bit disjointed, wandering and boring. I agree with the comments about spy school and dressing in vogue style (lead actress is the only one). It just seems a little unrealistic and I'm feeling like dropping it (I just finished episode 12). Maybe I'll pick it up again later.
It could be that I just finished watching "Princess Agents" on youtube and that was so amazing--nothing can compare to it! I might just watch that one again.

With that ending (which is Ep 58, not 67), a second season has to be in the works already--PLEASE--Thank you...

The violin solo in episodes 55 and 56 (may be in other episodes also) is enchanting and so perfect. Does anyone know the name of the music piece and who the violinist is (scenes with the Wei princess)? Thank you.

Also, MyDramaList shows that there are 67 episodes for the drama at 45 minutes each, but I can only find up to 58 episodes. Does it end there? Thanks.

So far, this is an excellent drama with great actors, music and storyline.
I rate it a 9.5 out of 10 up to this point.

Thanks, but Viki only subbed the first half of the drama--so frustrating to get half way and then you can't watch the rest! ):

Looks like a Bromance. I hope it's well done.

This looks interesting, but I really don't like how they always slap a moustache on a guy to make him look older (but it almost never looks better). I'm looking forward to watching it.

Kind of cute storyline. Adorable actors. How much can you do with only 45 minutes? It did seem like an advertisement promo. I don't really like being sold to when I'm looking for entertainment.
I would like to see Lee Min Ho in a drama that takes advantage of his full talents (like "Heirs" or "City Hunter" but with a very satisfying ending.)
As far as negative comments that have been made, my response is give him a break. No one is perfect when they start out and it takes a lot of time to perfect your talents (it's always a work in progress). And no, I don't feel that he is over-rated.

I liked this drama and would definitely recommend it. The actors were good (except the royal assistant, Song Bang Yeong, went way too overboard trying to be dramatic or funny but wasn't at all. I just cringed every time he opened his mouth--sorry). The cinematography was beautiful and I liked most of the music although sometimes it seemed a little too much or inappropriate for the scene. (Sometimes no music at all can make a scene seem much more poignant/realistic.) The story sequence started out great but then seemed to get a little messy/confused in the middle. For the most part, the drama did end strong overall, although I felt that the main female character became much weaker the last half of the story and also the sister's part and character could have been better developed.
(Overall I rated this drama 8.0 out of 10.)

BTW, MDL--why can I no longer see 10 stars for the rating on the initial screen? And will I be able to write my own personal notes without having them truncated/deleted? (Not sure where else to post these comments.)

Thank you (:

Thanks so much!
PS
Sometimes the video quality on youtube can be very bad, but NOT in this case. Except for dealing with the advertisements, the video and translation is very good. Thank you.

Does anyone know if all the episode have been subbed in English for this one? Thank you.

I just realized that he was in “Bu Bu Jing Xin” with Cecelia Lu and all those other amazing Brothers—now one of my favorite dramas. I really wish they would redo that sequel. I liked the storyline but the direction/execution was so poorly done and very grainy picture.

Gene Xin Lin is so good as Yuen Yue in “Princess Agents,” but I have gotten half way through the drama and they stopped subbing it—so frustrating! ( although after reading some of the comments, I think I’m afraid to see the ending!—if I ever do)

Except for the first episode which was way too savage and gruesome, the next episodes are very intriguing. Does anyone know where you can watch the last half of the drama with English subtitles? Thanks so much.

Can anyone tell me if all the episodes have been subtitled? I'm so disappointed that I have watched two nice long historical dramas ("Princess of Lan Ling" and "Princess Agents") and both have stopped the subtitles halfway through the episodes. I want to be careful not to have that situation again. Thank you.

This is a brilliant movie— not only for it’s realistic storyline and excellent directing and cinematography, but also for the charisma between the leads and all of the actors. And the music is ridiculously well-written—to say the least! Even though it is for mature audiences and has explicit love scenes, the hilarious comedy, tenderness and sincerity give this drama a unique balance. It’s about being bold and facing reality in our lives. Even though it was a bit shocking at first with some harsh language, I like this movie more every time I watch it. It is very creative, poetic and real. Truly brilliant with an amazing ending!
PS be sure to watch through the credits (:
I still give it a rating of 9.5 out of 10.

I have read many of the comments here, watched the first episode and will watch a few more to get a better sense of this drama. The cinematography looks good, the actors look good, but what bothers me so far is the storyline. I like strong female (and male) leads who are compassionate and care about others in the world and not just themselves. But I have to say that the barbarism and viciousness at the outset of this drama is really disturbing. I like to see heroes and heroines doing good for humanity but is it necessary to show the horrific depths of depravity to this level that society/humans could sink to? Is it possible? I ask myself if these are the images and thoughts I want put into my mind. Does it help to make me a better person, or the world we live in a better place? What is the message or revelations? What am I learning? It reminds me of the Roman Empire that valued power so much but eventually destroyed itself. They would gather in giant coliseums to watch people murder each other or be torn apart by vicious wild animals. How can that be considered entertainment?!
