This is one of my favorite romantic comedy shows. So many episodes show the love between Yi Ru Yang and Shi De Lan. The way they look at each other and hug is mesmerizing. Shi De is so loveable, the boyfriend you would like to have. Yi Ru is so sweet. I also love the close family ties and the interaction of the other characters in the show. There are many funny moments also. George Hu and Annie Chen has great chemistry. This is a must-watch show.

I love “Nevertheless.” Song Kang played the role of Jae-eon, a college junior, oozing with sex appeal. He has roving eyes. He met Han So-hee in a bar. Their intense physical attraction led to Jae-eon spending many nights at Na-bi’s apartment. Beyond the physical, Na-bi, who was narrating, said that they had a lot in common. They were both Sculpture students. Na-bi was starting to get upset with Jae-eon because she felt that what they had was just sex. She told him not to visit to her anymore. She was going to do a sculpture for the Exhibition of seniors. Jae-eon volunteered to help Na-bi which she accepted. However, her Professor said that Na-bi’s emotion did not show in her work. The days before the Exhibition, a fan fell on Na-bi’s piece. Jae-eon and Jin-su, Na-bi’s assistants offered to help fix it. Her Angel with Wings was well-received by the Professor. She said that Na-bi could go to Paris. When Jae-eon was watching the Exhibit by himself, Na-bi approached him. Jae-eon asked Na-bi if he can have another chance. Na-bi asked him if he liked her. ae-eon said, a lot. Na-bi said, “Let’s go out.” I love romance. It always uplifts . I wish there’s a second season.

I enjoyed watching this Korean drama so much. It is well written and everyone played their parts well. Song Joong Ki was an avenger who is charming, and inspires affection. Jeon YB is pretty and a good match to him. The other actors are equally good, feisty and funny. I love all the episodes and I wish there were a Season 2.

I changed my mind about my view of “Love, ft. Marriage and Divorce”. One of my favorite actors is Sung Hoon. He is one reason I watched this drama. He is a good actor. I did not like character he played, a cheater. The three husbands cheated on their wives. Yu-sin was the worst, he pretended to be a good husband. I guess they played their parts well, I hate their characters. This drama does not make a female viewer feel good. No romance. Will the guys show compassion at the end?

CLOY is at the top of my list of favorite Korean dramas. The story of a dashing North Korean captain falling in love with a South Korean heiress is enchanting. Hyun Bin (Ri Jeong Hyeok and Son Ye Jin (Yoon Se-ri) make a great couple. Their acting is superb. Their on screen chemistry is spot on. They overcame many obstacles to be together for a few weeks in a year. I’m wishing they could find a way to be with each other forever. It would be the perfect ending. The four soldiers and the Mother and Uncle of Dan are hysterical. Overall, this drama made a die-hard romantic happy. It was also interesting to see a glimpse of the different lifestyles between South Korea and North Korea. It makes me sad to think of a country divided by politics.

This is one of the best rom-coms I’ve seen. The acting of KimJae-Wook as the museum Director, Ryan Gold/Yun-jae, transplanted from New York, to his native Korea, was superb. He was yearning to find his birth mother. I could feel his pain. He fell in love with Park Min-Young (Duk-Mi, a curator who helped him find paintings to exhibit and who was sympathetic to him. Their romantic scenes were so real and authentic. They were so sweet. They were unbelievably well matched. Both were good-looking and their outfits were impeccable. I loved every episode. One (C . Si-an was cute and charming, definitely K-pop. I did not want the drama to end. It was so memorable.

I will never tire of rewatching this show. The plot is so relevant, touching on mental illness. The acting, particularly of the main leads is admirable and worthy of praise. Ko Mun yong is weird and can be mean but loveable at times. Moon Gang tae has so much empathy and a sweet personality. Their onscreen chemistry is a credit to the Director of the drama. Everytime I watch this show I am moved by the dialogue. Sung Jae and Jae Soo are funny. The cinematography is really good. Kudos to the full cast and crew. You raised the bar for future Korean dramas.

I love "One Spring Night". There was a spark of attraction between Jeong In and Ji Ho when they first met. They were hesitant because Ji Ho was a single Dad and Jeong In was in a long term relationship that was cooling off. As they get to know each other, the feeling grew into liking and falling in love. They had to jump hoops because Ji Ho is a single dad and Jeong In's father was opposed to Ji Ho. One of my favorite is episode 12. Ji Ho (Jung Hae In) so lovable and Jeong In (Han Ji Min) is so cute. Overall, this drama is inspiring and entertaining. It details the romance of normal individuals as they go about their daly lives, finding joy in the workplace and outside and three sisters who support each other.

I love this drama. It revolves around a brilliant, good-looking defense lawyer (Lee Dong-wook) or Kwon Jong-ruk whose Boss assigned him an actress as his secretary for three months. She wanted to act as a lawyer in a comeback film. This is like on the job training. The actress, played by Yoo in na, or Oh Yo seo in this drama. was framed in a drug scandal. It was not true but it ruined her reputation, and made it difficult to get acting jobs. She assured Kwon Jong ruk that she will do her best to be a competent secretary. She studied law for a semester which is not much of a qualification. There were mishaps and misunderstandings in the beginning but she has empathy which helped clients. She proved to be hard-working. Eventually, Kwon Jong-ruk, the lawyer, and Yo Seo developed feelings for each other. They complemented each other. They made a good team. They have great on-screen chemistry, you can feel the love and respect they have for each other.

A drama that I like because it deals with relationships and adults who are working hard to own a house. Li Min-ki or Se-hee, is alandlord who rented a room in his house to Jung So-min (Ji-ho) a scriptwriter who is not making a decent income. Se-hee asked her to have a contract marriage with her because she is the best tenant. Ji-ho agreed because she is comfortable there and he is trustworthy. Both parents pressured them to have a wedding ceremony. She developed strong feelings for him. He came to her hometown to make kimchi. This was hilarious. They stopped at the beach. When they were at the beach, he showed her how to kiss properly. He wasn’t aware that she liked him. After two years, Ji-ho told Se-hee to terminate the contract since he did not indicate that he had feelings for her. It did not take Se-hee long to realize that he missed Ji-ho. Ji-ho came back to him. They registere their marriage and bought a new house
