Dream High 2 was terrible! It basically had no plot, and the character's personalities kept changing, and there…
I thought it was stupid that Kang Sora's character (seriously, can't remember her name at all, lol) couldn't sing at all at the beginning but then suddenly could sing well enough to perform on stage. She was practically tone deaf in the beginning!
Dream High 2 was terrible! It basically had no plot, and the character's personalities kept changing, and there were never actually any stakes. Whenever something would happen, they'd be like "this is a big deal" and then... nothing would change and they would go on with their lives. Like, what was the point of anything in the show? Ah, and the acting. JB is a cutie but that's about all he's got going for him. I was sad for Kang Sora, mostly. She is actually fairly talented, so to end up in such a crappy drama was a step back for her.
It's not letting me reply to some comments so i'm writing my own. Regarding the filipino comment, in Smile, basically the only difference between Matsujun and everyone else is that he has darker skin than they do. That's how people can tell that he's not fully Japanese. So i thought that's what Hava was talking about. When i first watched it, i thought to myself as well "what, that's the only difference between Filipino and Japanese?" The show itself doesn't give you much more of a reason than that, to explain why people disregard him.
Anyway... Hana Yori Dango was my first Asian drama, and so that drama, and Matsujun, are always going to have a very special place in my heart. It's definitely my favourite version of HYD.
I don't think Ariel Lin is pretty or beautiful, I think she's cute. Whereas Tiffany Xu could never be cute, but is very beautiful. It's funny how that works. So if i was making a list, i'd end up with 2 separate lists, lol. I definitely agree on the top 3 Koreans, i'm pretty sure I spent most of my Full House-watching time exclaiming "why is she so damn beautiful!?".
I haven't seen any of the dramas mentioned above but I want to mention the second lead of City Hunter (the Prosecutor)…
Yeah, it was a nice change being able to root for both the lead guy and the second lead, without having to pick one over the other. They weren't fighting over the girl, so we didn't have to fight over them. Plus, bromance ftw! :-P

Yoon Kye Sang, definitely. Whenever i think of a second lead, I think of him. I don't know if i ever really wanted Yoon Pil Joo with Goo Ae Jung, but my heart broke when he didn't.
Wow, i agree with everything you said, especially about Vic Zhou being the best Rui. I like Shun Oguri as well, but Vic is just a bit more likable, the way he was always smiling. My favourite version is Hana Yori Dango, and least favourite is BoF because it dragged on for way too long.
When i first got into dramas, i marathoned everything. I guess it was because i started watching older dramas that had finished airing. I don't know if i've just gotten over it, but i can't do that anymore. As soon as the clock hits midnight, i need to put the laptop down. I'm too tired to continue watching, and I have work the next day. But i don't think it means I like these shows any less.
This is so hard! I loved both of them, and to pick one over the other is extremely difficult. I preferred the romance in City Hunter, but i liked the historical basis of Gaksital. Both had excellent action scenes. I can't compare the actors at all, both the mains and the second leads are pretty equal for both good and bad acting/actors, and how those characters were treated in the show. Gaksital was longer, which is usually a negative, but CH, even though it was shorter, still had some bits that felt like filler. So they're both on equal footing for length as well. I liked the relationship between Lee Min Ho and his dad in CH more than Gaksital and his older brother/father-like figures. I also have a slight bias for Lee Min Ho because i think he'd be an awesome kisser (Personal Taste and CH are 2 excellent examples). So in summary... i think I choose City Hunter.
It's rare that I've looked at a cast list and recognised and liked every single member. I am so excited for this drama, I hardly have words to express it.
I love Yoon Eun Hye acting and I love watching Park Yoochun. However, I am skeptical about melodramas. I am worried…
If it turns out like Can You Hear My Heart, I'll be happy. I cried a lot, but it was also really sweet and funny.

Ha ha, i don't think you can be disappointed by someone's drama list :-P. It's crazy the amount of dramas there are. Way too many to watch!

Hey, how's it going? I was checking out your list, and it's so funny how sometimes you'll be in complete agreement with someone about one show (Coffee Prince) and complete disagreement on another (Scent of a Woman), lol.

Hi, it's nice to meet you too :-). Are you still working on your Completed list, or have you just not seen many dramas?
Anyway... Hana Yori Dango was my first Asian drama, and so that drama, and Matsujun, are always going to have a very special place in my heart. It's definitely my favourite version of HYD.
