I really appreciated this actor in King2Hearts and I have Shining Inheritance in my 'Plan to Watch List'. I agree that he is good and I will wait for his future projects with curiosity.

I haven't watched any of the above dramas however according to my personal taste even some Jdramas of 2012 with slightly higher ratings were a disappointment. To name a few Monsters, Kekkon Shinai and Going My Home.

I am a Rabbit, thanks so much for this...it was very interesting!

Happy New Year to you too Evanna. :0)

Out of all these I have only seen Kang Ma Roo of Innocent Man and I totally agree that he is so fascinating that it is difficult to get him out of ones mind. However another 2012 character that was extremely awesome for me was Lee Kang To in Bridal Mask.

I enjoyed this article very much indeed. I only watched Big and Rooftop Prince out of all these and I have to admit that Big had an incomprehensible ending even though it was good, in my opinion, until the very end. Whereas for what concerns Rooftop Prince I totally agree that the plot had many holes which spoiled the story for me.

I didn't like Wild Romance at all, I hardly beared A Gentleman's Dignity and I enjoyed Big until the very last 5 minutes of the last episode. I haven't watched the others but I will watch Reply 1997 sooner or later as it overtook Bridal Mask of a few points.

The only thing about this drama that swept me off my feet was the OST which I found wonderful and some really funny scenes at the beginning. However the story for me was not as great as it could have been as it had a big potential thanks to the very good actors and the original idea. What spoilt it for me were the over the top villain characters and how everyone bore with their actions without trying to defend themselves or figuring out many obvious facts. The ending left me unimpressed but I wasn't disappointed either as it was in line with the whole story. This is a drama that unfortunately I will not rewatch for sure as I couldn't go through all the unfairness that the main female character has to face all over again.

This drama had a quiet and poetic aura to it as it was related to flowers and painting. However, I personally really didn't find the story particularly interesting as the plot was almost non existent. I was expecting a lot from it because of the cast of high level but it left me quite disappointed. I will give it a 6 only for the nice settings and hope for future better projects for all of these actors.

I absolutely loved Faith (I have already watched it twice) so I agree it was the best time-travelling drama of the year. I am watching Rooftop Prince at the moment and although it is not half as convincing it is funny in places and I like the lead actors. I have Queen in Hyun's man coming up next and I hope I enjoy it too.

Happy Birthday, I hope to see you in another project soon.

Merry Christmas to you all...I love MDL and I am so happy to log on every day and read reviews, comments etc. etc. I think I recognize Ns 5 and 6. ;0)

ps. I just read your profile and most of your favourites are my favourites too. I am also a LMH fan and I loved what you learned about Korean dramas, it made me laugh as it is so true! :0)

Merry Christmas to you too Ylisse, and also have a Very Happy 2013. :0))

thanks Mirichan and the same to you!! Merry Christmas and a very, very happy New Year (and full of great dramas to watch!). ;0)

this is a great article, thanks for writing it!! I also believe the OSTs give a great contribution to the beauty of a drama. Of the ones you posted above I only know the ones of A Gentleman's dignity, Faith and Secret Garden but there are many, many more that have stayed in my heart and always remind me of the stories. The Koreans are very, very good at making wonderful music, thanks again for writing this.

Hi Bladey, I was very happy to see you back here. I also want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2013 full of joy and good things. I look forward to hearing what dramas you have been watching lately so we can exchange our respective views on them. Take care.

I am a big,big fan of Arashi therefore I appreciate Jun very much indeed mostly for his singing. As far as his acting career goes I have only fully watched Lucky Seven and dropped Bambino and Smile only for the plots which I didn't like and not because of his acting skills which are very good. I will have to watch his most famous dramas whilst waiting for a future good project.

great article!! I particularly enjoyed the clip of Big! ;0)

I just finished this awesome drama. It is definitely something that can't be watched in a relaxed manner as the character of Maru draws the viewer in a turmoil of emotions which are often confused but very, very deep. I have to say that Song Joong Ki did an amazing job here and deserved his recent award as his acting was definitely the best in the story. I personally didn't enjoy too much the tug of war that went on in the story between SJK and his ex-girlfriend as it was too confusing to understand exactly what feelings they had for each other however the writer did write a convincing plot with a surprising ending. I gave it a 9 as I enjoyed it but I am not sure if I will watch it again.
