Innocent Man


 Innocent Man! Woah- it is so intense. and to be honest, I'm not really sure of what I think of all the main character. They all seem to have these mysterious hidden personalities. I got a but cranky with Kang maru when he ditched his sick sister for his girlfirend though, that was... shallow, to say the least. The intensity between all of the characters was also a bit... well, intense, it could have been let up a little I think.But if you're into that kind of thing, then it was done quite well, the actors did a great job. I think it was a good new sort of concept, something a bit different to everything else in it's time slot. 

Synopsis~
A classic melodrama involving betrayal, revenge, and romance. The story is about Kang Ma Roo, who gave up everything for the woman he loves only to be betrayed by her. To get revenge on his ex-girlfriend, he uses her step-daughter and successor to Taesang Group, Seo Eun Gi.

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop




What can I say? This drama was really quite enjoyable although at times I was torn between characters, the ending was meant to be. Although at times all of the characters sort of annoyed me. Some of it was just a bit too cheesy and over done for liking. But it was filled with heartfelt emotion and tons of cute moments, Flower Boy Ramyun Shop is for the Yang Eun Bi inside us all. 

Synopsis~
Yang Eun Bi is a college student preparing for her civil service exam with the dream of being a high school teacher. She accidentally encounters Cha Chi Soo, the arrogant son of the biggest food conglomerate in Korea. Both of them end up working at a ramyun shop run by the lazy Choi Kang Hyuk.

City Hunter



'City Hunter' - This is a really intense and epic drama. Full of action and plot twists, it has only been boring why some old guys bash on with political jargon, but that's not too often. With a well thought out storyline combined with really great work on the actor's part, if you are a Lee Min Ho fan, this drama is one you can't miss.I was a little bit confused at the end though, I actually had to Google what on earth happened...

Synopsis~
The story takes place in Seoul, 2011. Lee Yoon Sung is a talented MIT-graduate who works on the international communications team in the Blue House. He plans revenge on five politicians who caused his father's death with his surrogate father Lee Jin Pyo and eventually becomes a "City Hunter."

To the Beautiful You


I have finished watching To the Beautiful You! Let's be honest. It was a bit of a let down. A little far fetched and unrealistic for me, although I thought for a first attempt, the actors did well and put their all into it. I just felt it was little too much sometimes... It got a bit too fake and cheesy and totally predictable. But I have to say that Choi Eun Kyul was just adorable!!! If you like the movie She's the Man then this might be worth taking a look at. Or not. It really depends, if you are new to drama then it might be worth a try, but I wouldn't really recommend it to long time drama watchers. However, I did really enjoy the OST, that was well done. 

Synopsis~
The series centers on Goo Jae Hee, a Korean girl who lives in the United States. One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the high jump competitors, Kang Tae Joon. She begins to idolize the young athlete and eventually transfers to Korea to attend the same school that Tae Joon attends after he suffers an accident that could potentially end his career. There is a catch, however: Tae Joon attends an all-boys high school and Jae Hee must disguise herself as a boy to enter.

Big




Big was a brilliant drama. I was absolutely thrilled with it and loved every second. The plot built steadily and the drama was always exciting. The plot was very well thought out and it  builds well. Although, I think the ending was a little rushed BUT, I wasn't dissapointed in it (i had to watch it a few times to get my head around it though!) Overall it was an extremely good drama, which made me laugh and cry! It's a 10/10 ! ^^

Synopsis~ 
After a tragic car accident, 18-year-old Kang Gyung Joon discovers that his spirit has been transported to the body of 30-year-old Seo Yoon Jae.

What is a boy to do when he discovers that he has become his own teacher’s fiancé by a freak of nature?

Queen In Hyun's Man



Queen In Hyun's Man was an enjoyable drama, but not quite what I expected it to be. It had a cute  plot, but for me it didn't quite live up to what I had heard about it. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it. I feel it just took waaaay to long for the action to start. It was really interesting at the start but in the middle, it became a little boring a predictable and didn't really pick up again until the end. The ending was a really big cliff-hanger though and was really intense and interesting. And Yoo In Na did a great job, I really like her acting. 

Synopsis~ 
Kim Boong Do is a scholar who had supported the reinstatement of Queen In Hyun when Jang heebin's schemes resulted in her being deposed and replaced as King Sukjong's queen consort. He travels 300 years into the future of modern Seoul and meets Choi Hee Jin, a no-name actress who is expecting a career renaissance through her role as Queen In Hyun in a TV drama.

Personal Preference (also known as personal taste) was a very sweet drama. It was really very cute. If you are more into those dramas with the cute fairy tale story line,than this is the one for you! I really enjoyed watching this drama because it was just one of those things that is really light and funny to watch, always leaving you with a smile on your face.

Rooftop Prince



The feels. This drama is my personal favourite. Rooftop Prince was a quirky, hilarious drama with so much emotion. I smiled the whole way through... (and cried a little too!) It was a really wonderful story, and it was really exciting with lots of scandals and it was very unpredictable. It was a really cute, heartfelt story with a nice ending which wrapped it all up really well, but still left room for the imagination to fly. I really can't explain it in all of it's glory, it simply must be watched!  

Synopsis~ 
When Crown Prince Lee Gak is transported 300 years into the future to present day Seoul along with his three retainers, they believe that it is their duty to solve the murder case of the Crown Princess in order to return to Joseon.
They land in the rooftop apartment of Park Ha, a cheerful woman, who believes the odd groups story and becomes their guardian.
As Park Ha educates the four on life in the 21st century, Lee Gak comes across Hong Se Na, who seems to be the reincarnation of his wife. Taking on the identity of Yong Tae Yong, Lee Gak slowly begins to unravel the murder of Yong Tae Yong and in turn moves closer to solving the murder case of the Crown Princess.
As he finds himself in love with Park Ha, he figures that maybe the Crown Princess was not so perfect after all...

The Princess' Man



Wow! Was this a drama and a half! The princess' man was a really great drama, but some days I'm not sure whether I loved it or hated it... The first few episodes were a little boring, so if you want to watch it, bear with it there because you need to see them to understand. But after that, it explodes! SO MUCH INTENSITY! I can promise you that there is not one boring moment from that second in! This is the type of drama for those who are into period, love, revenge etc etc. it does have a bitter- sweet ending, but I will say no  more than that. It really was amazing. I guess I really did love it.  

Synopsis~ 
A love story between the daughter of Prince Su Yang and the son of Kim Jong Seo. The son of Kim Jong Seo, Seung Yoo, is a handsome and wise man who carries a noble quality. Princess Se Reong, a daughter of  prince Soo Yang, is a cheerful, lively lady with a strong curiosity and bold personality. They fall in love instantly but later they find out that their parents are sworn enemies. It's a Joseon dynasty version of “Romeo and Juliet”.
