I know there are lots of people on createblog who like Asian Dramas.*did search like a good rule abidding person* And I've recently gotten way into them. (Btw, the closest topic to this one was asian shows)
Which are your favorite: Japanese drama: Chinese drama: HK drama (HK as in Hong Kong, which is part of China but who care?): Taiwanese drama: Korean drama: And which ones you recommend to watch. I really have to say that I haven't watched that many (I have been watching Chinese and HK for a long time but recently I've gotten into other types). I loved "Hana Yori Dango" (Japanese) and "It started with a kiss" (Taiwanese) but I can't pick from Chinese and HK, I've seen too many. I've only seen one korean one "Which star are you from". That's why I wanted to ask which ones you recommend because I'm such a |

Taiwanese Drama: Devil Beside You
Korean Drama: Full House ^ I'd recommend watching those. Description on Full House: A naive, cheerful albeit, somewhat of a recluse writer, Han Ji Eun (Song Hye Gyo) is swindled out of everything she owns. Not by strangers, but her best friends! Stranded in another country, she is determined to get home with the help of an actor, Lee Young Jae (Bi), only to find that all which is precious to her has been sold. In an attempt to get her possessions back, she has entered in a contract marriage with Young Jae. It is quite simple, until feelings start to develop. Everyone around them test the "love" Young Jae and Ji Eun have for one another, including Young Jae's grandmother. In spite of it all, Ji Eun manages to be humorous and endearing - even when her heart is breaking. |

Japanese drama: I haven't watched very many, but I heard a Litre of Tears is good. My friends have been watching Death Note as well. And since you're already watching Hana Yori Dango, I guess I don't have to recommend that to you.
Chinese drama: I don't think I've watched any. Haha. HK drama (HK as in Hong Kong, which is part of China but who care?): Actually, I don't think I've watched much HK dramas, either. Taiwanese drama: Silence, Hana-Kimi (It's still running), Devil Beside You, It Started With A Kiss, At Dolphin Bay, MARS, Meteor Garden (Classic), Love at the Aegean Sea, The Hospital [These are just favorites] Korean drama: Love Story at Harvard, Stairway to Heaven, Full House I really recommend Silence, At Dolphin Bay, & MARS. If you want something a bit less serious, try Hana-Kimi or Devil Beside You. Of course, I recommend all those Korean ones too (they are amazing). I'm about to start a new one myself (Goong). Oooh, and I'm about to start A Love to Kill, as well. Yeah, uh, I'm an Asian Drama dork. :[ |

Japanese drama: Hana Yori Dango / Kimi wa Petto
Chinese drama: ? I have't watched any yet HK drama (HK as in Hong Kong, which is part of China but who care?): ? Didn't know they had dramas Taiwanese drama: Devil Beside You - It's pretty good! Korean drama: My Girl, Stairway to Heaven, Autumn Fairytale I recommend korean dramas because they're really...emotional! My Girl was voted best in 2005, I believe. Stairway to Heaven made me cry in like, every episode! T_T Winter Sonata was good. I didn't think Full House was as funny as My Girl, was it it was pretty cute. Love Story in Harvard was alright... It was pretty sad, but I didn't like how they came to America. I mean, they guy couldn't even speak English very well at all. It was like he was struggling so hard. I think they could've gotten a better actor to play the main guy. But the girl, who starred in Stairway to Heaven as well, is a sensation actress. She played the part really well and speaks English perfectly, too! Plus, she made me HATE her in Stairway to Heaven because she was SOOOOO mean! That's how good an actress Lee Tae Hee is! |

well the only japanese dramas i've seen are hana yori dango, and currently watching hana yori dango II...still running.
taiwanese dramas i've watched: meteor garden I (a classic...it's what got me started to watching tw dramas..) meteor garden II mars (one of the best dramas in my opinion...i think it's MY favorite. about romance and a little suspense.) devil beside you (it's a cute drama...similar to it started with a kiss.) silence (a really good drama. it's very sad though. get some tissues. ) tokyo juliet (this one is okay. it dragged a lot though and it's kinda unrealistic. so i DO NOT recommend this one) i heard Bump Off Lover was really good. Recognitions (from d-wiki): 41st Golden Bell Award: 2006 Best Screenplay 41st Golden Bell Award: 2006 Best Supporting Actress 41st Golden Bell Award: 2006 Best Sound Effect 41st Golden Bell Award: Nominated for 2006 Best Drama, Best Actress, Film Editing, and Lighting and hana kimi seems really good too. havent watched it though. the sypnosis seems kinda similar to the movie she's the man. (the one with amanda bynes) wu chun is in it though. and he's hot. ooh yeahhh....there's a lot more too. |

Korean Dramas:
- Full House - Goong - My Girl - What's Up, Fox? - My Lovely Kim Sam Soon/My Name Is Kim Sam Soon Generally speaking, watch the funnier, more light-hearted K-dramas. They're much less depressing than the really dramatic ones. I don't really watch any Japanese/Taiwanese/Chinese dramas. I do watch HK dramas, though, but most of them aren't even worth watching, so don't download them. |

^ Agree. The Korean girls are so pretty, it's unbelievable. Look, if you're going to spend 16 hours watching a drama, and you could pick between an ugly Chinese female main character, and, say, Song Hyekyo, who would you choose?
Obviously, the pretty Korean girl. |

OMG!! I that movie. I watch mine on Google. I have the full set on DVD. Anyways, I recommend Taiwanese/Korean dramas. =] Same here, I watched mine in YouTube. I totally heart that movie, Hyun Bin is HOT and the girl is CUTE. The only thing I don't like about it is that the story goes too fast, but otherwise it's REALLY GOOD. |
