Mirichan, I think you just need to find your defintiioon of excellence at this point, because these things change with age and with each rewatch of a drama. So, keep on looking, I'm sure you;ll find something which matches your definition of outstanding and then you will refer to it for your defintiions of "good" :-) But for that, you honestly have to see a lot to get the general taste of where these dramas go. What matters is what you agree and disagree with and I'm sure you will find the one Drama ;-)

It's simply beautiful and well made and I've mostly said it all in my review; it';s a drama I found very uplifting to watch because it;s of very good quality.

right now I'm thinking of starting Three Kingdoms, which is a highly budgeted historucal drama but the number if episodes (95) is scary lol. The avatar is from Jejoongwon. It's a very well done story, with everything in it, really. Well executed, good acting, based of history, beautiful OST, the main characters is really sympathetic and anyone trying to mess with him makes me want to kill them lol. Park Young Woo does excellent job at portraying him and bringing out his humility and golden heart. It;s a gem of a drama, well for me, but it does take its time to unfild, that's why it's quite long. But I think it;s very worthwile. The love story is subtle. It;s also a medical drama; the unoqueness of it lies that it doesn;t need a time travel gimmick to combine these things: medical, romance and history, plus changing times at the time of the fall of the Joseon dynasty.
Yes, I want to watch this drama, I heard it was good and had some heart to it. plus I like Oh Man Suk.

It won't be that bad, I'm sure ! Keep fighting! It won;t be long before you;re done with it... are you going to have a at least a few days off before the new semester starts? I'm fine, busy working, just sent a submission so I'm mostly doing nothing today.

Yes, I've seen it now Mirichan ^^ Truth be told, I was expecting a more historically accurate ending but perhaps it's best they left everything else for personal exploration. I thought it was supposede to be longer, however it was of the same length as reguar episodes? I liked the episode as a conlucion to Gou. What I really like about these modernised historical dramas is that they try to draw our interest to history. Have you started watching Hungry! yet?

I see lol. I haven;t seen that credence blog earlier, but thank you for poitning it out to me just read it and am quite happy I have lol
Well, as a final thought before I write a review, It?s shot well, it has good music, the cast is good, overall no complaints about the drama, really. It's an interesting idea for a drama too, with pretty big names, the Cain and Abel concept is well used and the final effect givrs the story a very human dimension, even though some points of the story may seem too contrived.
And why is oh Young so silly? argh, though she has a reason to be doing what she is. poor unsuspecting Lee Cho In. Lol, well looks like the mad ride has begun! Since I'm reacting thus, it has def pulled me in lol.

lol. You can try taking a screenshot from the drama for something different and edit it a bit in paint/ or photoscape. There are a few other posters as far I've seen but yesm I would say t that picture of them two somehow fitted your MDL "persona" lol. But you can come up with something for JJW too I think ;-) and taking a screenie from some favourite scene with them together or maybe searching through google images should give you an idea or two. You can also try looking for some ideas over at hancinema, I'd send you direct link but my internet is really slow today.
why all the makjang so excellent at pulling in I love brother - brother stories but this one will most likely shatter my heart. Wahh. But I'll keep watching anyway, it looks like an excellent production.

Hi there! How are you doing? Started watching fermentation Family but it;s nit pulling me in; I mean I love how flashbacks are done, and it's technically good but there is something missing in the acting..some charisma or chemistry perhaps. Does it get better later on?

Hey, just out of curiosity, do you know Korean? I'm asking cause last time on Ojakgyo thread you were telling me a reassuring spoier as to Han Tae Shik and Mi Suk..and clearly before episode 46 was subbed, so I'm just curious if you know Korean and have perhaps watched the latest episode since I'm curious to understand what was said there lol

Well, I wouldn;t call White Tower underappreciated : 2008 20th Producers Awards of Korea: Best Performer Kim Myung Min
2007 43rd Baeksang Awards: Best Producer Ahn Pan Suk
2007 MBC Drama Awards: Top Excellence Acting Award Kim Myung Min
2007 43rd Baeksang Arts Awards: Best Actor in a TV Drama Kim Myung Min
2007 Grime Award: Best Actor Kim Myung Min
This is all for White Tower; with Jejugwoon the producers only gave a small recognition award for Han Hye Ji and that's it. But I will give it a try for sure.
Oh wait! FSF and Yang Mi are simply not going to be the main leads which means they can possibly be left at peace, while something else happens in ancient time, I"m content with that!
Hmm, I wonder what they have come up with for this, I found season 1 cheesy, too cheesy but the cast was lovable so I'm probably going to give this a try, though it sounds more like a re-make or a spin-off and without those lovable actors, too. Oh well.. The poster, as always, is very nice.
