This post is dedicated to one of the greatest korean dramas that helped lighting my dark world whenever i am down . It made me as giddy as a school girl believing in love and fairytales, alongside my favourite disney movies, korean dramas do lift my spirits up. Feeling down
??
Dramaland can take you away into a magical dimension where dreams can come true in any possible way made by talented scriptwriters. I am pretty much more fascinated by the people behind the screen bringing us such guilty pleasures. Like how witty the script can be, and with the talented actors and actresses.
My mom had always been a fan of korean dramas and I should actually thank her for exposing me to all these made believe modern day fairytales.. and i still can remember drama marathons with her, we could just sit in front of the couch with her the whole day just to catch the whole drama in a day or just finish it right in 2 days. I still too remember how we cried over dramas and idolizing the idols….
Korean dramas to me isn’t just some drama with people catch but actually some memory i had with my mother, and it too accompanied me throughout my melo days… it gives me faith and somehow let me know whenever i am down there is always a place i can be comfortable in.
In my little corner with my favourite moments in these dramas…. if i could recall but in fact i couldn’t… i can’t remember the first korean drama i watched but there are so much and so much i thank them for being part of my girly girl days. In a way it is relatable but in a way it makes me doubt on the men on earth. How can they not be another Do Min Joon or any Hyun Woo oppa or… my favourite Han Ki Joon sshi that are soooooo adorable and sweet.
Here are the dramas that guided me and , too brought enormous joy into my life.
1. LOVERS IN PARIS
It is just another modern day cinderella tale about a girl working as a maid in Paris, in the rich guy’s house and .. turns out the both had immediate chemistry between them after hurdles and hurdles, but that doesn’t tear both of them apart. It has the most greatest moments if i can count in a drama. You wont have to wait till the last few episodes to see how they share great affection for each other , it is still touching to see how guy that had a divorce before and who doesnt know how to love someone… can love someone who has a different social status and taste or personality from him. Despite the difficulties they still chose to stay strong and MOST IMPORTANTLY , the girl , KANG TAEYOUNG is the strongest cinderella ever. she doesnt let people trample over her and she doesnt bow down easily on life altho she is poor. She is … just, my hero.
here are my favourite scenes
han ki joo, the main character, had double egos, for example he is the president of Gm Motors of Korea and such a rich man he is, being so serious in his work. But in front of Taeyoung he is just another fool that is in love with a woman. That’s what i like about him.
“There are not many people who can truly love. It’s because they meet the wrong person. But l’m sure you will find someone who will truly love you. Don’t make yourself miserable. - Ki Joo (Lovers in Paris)”
“Girls often dream about this. Where she feels like a withered flower surrounded by all these fabulous people. Then out of nowhere, this prince on a white horse calls her name, holds her shoulder, gently touches her hair and walks her home. But that is too perfect”

Tae-young
it’s just so sweet to see them together
Park shin yang is such a talented actor and he rose to fame after this drama
so many cinderella scenes as the guy brings her to shopping in Paris
there are sooo many favourite scenes in this drama.
Guys there isn’t one episode is boring in fact it has the highest record of rating of korean drama history with the highest 50.7% at the final episode.
Favourite scenes such as he hires her in Paris to be his fake fiance and how they both bonded by eating cake. Taeyong too is fascinated by him because he too watch oldies classic movies with red wine. Too, when he worked overtime with Taeyong and how he holds her hand EVERYTIME and how he keeps express how he felt for Taeyong without being shy. it’s just.. ugh i dk
SOOOO SWEET
I CANT STOP WRITING BUT EVENTUALLY I HAD TO STOP TO MOVE ON,
gosh gosh gosh.
This drama make me cry and laugh just unstoppable times . it makes me excited and guessing what is next. there is sooo many unpredictable moments that i can say and i could say, definitely A MUST MUST MUST WATCH.
SUPERB.
LOVE CONQUERS ALL.
REALLY .
IM SERIOUS
Someday
someday
i will really meet that one person
I know Park Shin Yang isnt the really candy boy you all wanted but his charm is just. idk , won over the hearts of all korean women who had watched this before will know the charm of Han Ki Joo { his character in drama} definitely was a gentleman and he still loves taeyong no matter what happens.
GO WATCH NOW AT
2. save your last dance for me
It also starred by my another idol man crush besides JANG DONG GUN but in fact these are the top1top2 drama pairs i ship and hope they might be together in real life but they dont , just like how we wished leo and kate were together , just because of their chemistry….. okay
now .
the posters.
It is by JISUNG and EUGENE.
I know . JISUNG from protect the boss
I am so sad to say this… but in fact i would definitely choose old dramas over the new ones that are so out of substance and heavily populated by those sm or Jyp new idol stars that are trying to be in the acting field , okay but ,,, it doesnt work for me. it is just.. idk it doesnt give me sparks and the OST are terrible. but a few ones are okay. But LOVERS IN PARIS AND THIS DRAMA HAD THE BEST. THE BEST I TELL YOU
THE BEST OST OF ALL TIME.
okay for korean dramas ten years before , there are a few popular themes,
i] cancer/ leukemia
ii] cinderella
iii] amnesia, memory loss
now this is combination 3 and 2. cinderella… yes abit but this girl isnt the really RAG and poor girl as Kang Taeyong but this is definitely involving a series of memory loss. The movie circles around … i guess the word SOULMATE is the theme because just before the guy meets the girl he actually already had a girlfriend that he adores but mostly just feelings of a brother has for a sister. after he suffered from memory loss he spent a load of time with Eugene, the girl, at a countryside, he soon develops deep love with her… then all of a sudden he regains his memory and completely forgottenEugene and … totally resent her but for some reason, IN HIS HEART… he still had feelings for her and … it pulled them closer despite they are from different social classes… this guy is sweet but ,,, not as sweet as Park SHin Yang, and they fell in love again altho he can’t regain his memory back but eventually he did.
The best part of this drama is that how people can meet people AND HAD THIS STRONG CHEMISTRY altho he forgets about her and how they both make sacrifices and let each other go, just because they love each other
the irony is….. both the main characters who had SOMUCHCHEMISTRY didnt end up together but JIsung actually fall for the other character, Lee Bo Young .. and married last year. Ugh
but idontcare i still ship them
i will always love you JISUNGGG ahhh.
But recently his new dramas are just. ugh . disappointing , he is still as hot as ever but .. not the drama. it doesnt make me fall in love with his character.
better luck next time.
3. ALL ABOUT EVE
i had a hard time picking between 2 and 3 but eventually this has to be 3 because.. this involved a theme tht i did not like.
RIVALRY between 2 girls and it usually involves a evil girl and an innocent one. I HATE IT TO SEE HOW THE EVIL BULLIES THE INNOCENT it is sooo frustrating and this involves DEATH too. It’s just so saddening to see the character you loved .. died all of a sudden.
it starred JANGDONGGUN omg omg omg he is so hot.
This drama is like idk.. 10++ years before ???? The fashion is so old school but idc it still is awesome.
The chemistry between Jang Dong gun and chae rim are okay but they are still sweet.
This is not cinderella story and much MORE REALISTIC as the girl proved herself to be an elligible wife to be to the guy’s family that are so kind to her… unlike lovers in paris whereby the rich guy’s family are being such a prick.
SO NO FAMILY OBSTRUCTIONS JUST PLAIN CAT FIGHT.
the evil girl in this drama is just so… unstoppable and despite being evil she just enjoys being evil.
but the main theme of this drama is not love it is more on another in depth knowledge of broadcasting system and how good conquers evil… how being good will give you good karma and we should all be like Chae Rim { sun mi } in the movie and do good for others and having compassion to everyone including the evil girl {hye mi} .
One of my favourite scene will be when Jang Dong Gun knelt down to help Chae Rim wear her birthday present which is an anklet.
the pic isnt clear enough because.. yeah 10++ yrs ago
i know right
the last row of them KISSING
THEY ONLY KISSED ONCE IN THIS LONNG 20 EPISODE DRAMA WHICH IS THE FINAL EPISODE
HOW DISAPPOINTING
the difference between american dramas or any other country’s drama from korean drama is that… they dont really kiss altho they are soo obviously deeply in love with each other. usually a kiss on the forehead or cheek is the limit they can have. and a few occasional limit of kissingg sigh.
how cute is he , smiling
and i love LOVE when he smiles at the little things Chae Rim do and how he looks at her.
chae rim is super adorable in this drama
4. FULL HOUSE
Manyy of you might be familiar with this. YES
RAIN is the leading actor with SONGHYEKYOO. my idol omg .
both of them undoubtly, gained fame as well as comedian.. no no not comedian as, debut actors and actresses in IDOL DRAMAS. Since the K-wave is not as high as now, this drama definitely brought the K-Wave and Hallyu fame to korea.
the dynamic duo that doesn’t disappoint me. RAIN is sooo tall and songhyekyo is so cute and short, which gives them a HEIGHT DIFFERENCE which is soooo cuteee arghhh.
the thai remake is also adorable and definitely a must watch if you are a fan of full house.
I read the manhwa as well, it doesn’t resemble much the drama but the theme and the famous full house is.. mentioned and it too involves a superstar that Rain is acting.
the story i believe a lot of you are already familiar. it is about a girl and a guy who fakes their marriage just to benefit each other.
Lol. I know right i like fake marriages story because they USUALLY fall for each other.
There aren’t any specific favourite scenes as all of it are so enjoyable because they keep fighting at the simplest things. And how Rain give her nicknames like Bird, {cookoo} or, rice cooker
and how they write contracts or how Songhyekyo got angry and left notes at the refrigerator and sticky notes to communicate with Rain that drives him crazy.
these are the tiny moments that made us laugh and how talented and witty the writers are. so so so good
you just have to choose an episode and never get bored with it.
LOL RAIN
this is frustrating too. they only kissed twice. … sigh
i can relate to song hye kyo as she is a novelist online one, an amateur that tried to make a good story, and how Rain messes her computer. which DRIVES HER CRAZY.
RAIN did not save the files and made her lost everything she wrote.
AND HOW RAIN TRIES TO COMPENSATE BY DOING HOUSEWORK
LOLOLOL
90% of this drama is quarreling and jokes they made at each other. just so funny.
For those who are finding some funny drama and at the same time with some eye candy… this is definitely the one.
THANKYOU DRAMALAND.
You had definitely brought joy into my life
who say happiness is not free
happiness is not difficult to find.
