Well, first of all welcome to the forum!!

And, love your DP! I am a huge BS fan (the only actor I really like)!

And, same here girl you know I started out my journey of Asian dramas w/ Thai Lakorns when I first watched Sawan Biang, and from then on I watched every Ken and Anne lakorn I could find..lol😆

Since then I must have watched all the slap/kiss lakorns, comic/family, as well as when the girl pretends to be the guy..There are quite a few of those out there as well.

And, trust me when I say I wish Nadech and Yaya get married in real life. When I first watched Anne and Ken together on screen I wished they were a real life couple. But, I seriously want NaYa to be together!! I must have watched these two pairings lakorns numerous times.😃

Then, from Thai I switched to Korean dramas and since then my addiction to them haven't stopped!

I also just finished watching Tik's and Anne lakorn. It was awesome!! I had been waiting for this pairing for years now!

Also, eagerly waiting for NaYa upcoming lakorn to air.

I am an avaid Thai lakorn lover as well. But, now that I have my Korean dramas I only watch the ones that are good when it comes to Thai lakorns. As, most of them that have been released lately lack good pairings. I loved Sud Sai Paan though.. Gosh that hero is HOT!!☺️

Welcome aboard!😛

Here is my go to site that has almost all lakorns in Eng sub!


oh you are jasmin's blog..lol...hello..

i recently got started on thai drama..watched full house few months back..and then sawan biang now...man!..can't get enough of SB..and ken.. y r all good men taken..sigh!

Suggest a few good ones na...i didn't like jam loey rak..the woman/lead screamed too much..very bad acting..and script was not taut..

suggest sthg on lines of SB..where script, story, acting, good looks..are are well geled..


BTW, is there a way to get all SB eps eng subbed?

honey, I have been in a drama slump for a good portion of this year.

I have only just become excited about K dramas again. see my posts before this one. those are all good shows. yoo na's street is the closest to mature k drama you will get but they are very funny


as for T dramas, only in a good way was different. the rest do not compare to k drama. that's the truth. try autumn's concerto if you must.
perfect couple is another good one (for the first half only).

HOWEVER, the best drama is something I am reviewing right now so wait for my next comment and you will see what I mean.


i know what you mean..but i found fated to love you getting that cliched romance right..somehow...have been quite bored of k dramas lately..but find myself liking FTLY..give it a try..

Want to know what the best thing to happen to Taiwanese entertainment is since In a Good Way? Well, let me tell you all about it.

You Light Up My Star

I am fangirling SO HARD, it's not funny. Janine and Joe light my heart on fire and watch it burn. Their chemistry is off the charts, no it destroyed all the charts that ever existed. The story is killer, the direction commendable. Although there are a few irritating characters *cough imaginary girlfriend cough*, it does not take away from the brilliance of the show. Sunny plays the typical bad boy that he usually does. Boy needs some diverse roles I tell ya. I simply appreciate a good story, tackling a serious issue that is not stingy about its romance.

Side note: I am still waiting for Janine's character to stick it to Joe and get herself a new playthang but I'll still be watching even if she is the royal idiot who lets herself be used by him. Truth is, this is Joe's world. Every one else (including Janine) are just living in it. I don't mind as long as other characters are shown to be humans with flaws like the director emphasizes Joe is over and over again to the point of exhaustion.

I critiqued the show more than I praised it but it means I am watching it with close attention. So give it a go. A must watch if you follow Taiwanese Entertainment.


lol..reviews of you light up my star ain't that good, specially regarding editing...although i have been waiting for that drama big time more so because of the theme..and was sure joe would be able to pull it...but hard to find english subs..so i have to wait each week for the recaps and episode review..

But i absolutely love the fact that they have sthg this dark as the context..

and i find janine dull in most of her dramas , but she is the prettiest thing in T-world..and chemistry - i think joe can create sizzling chemistry even with a stone..😆..

the first episode - first 10 episodes and all those kiss scenes..were epic..😳

tell tell me wr can i watch eng sub - viki doesn't work here..

Fated to love you IMO was boring. I am going to wait for the entry of the second lead but I can say that witch's romance is a better remake thus far compared to fated. Then again, that was tVN and nobody does drama better than cable😆


lol..guess u tried FTLY...this is my first time with JN and JH...but must say...tried to go back and check jang hyuk's other work..wat a versatile actor..😊

side note: r all min ho fans here😛... when is gangnam blues releasing?


PS: is it just me or is heirs really over-rated..take min-ho and his SRKsque acting out of the context..and the other guy's hot looks..theres nthg in this drama zilch ( confession- i just LOVED the other couple..lead actresses best friend and his girlfriend who was kim tan's gf before...man never ever found a couple so cute in any k-drama)

I changed my mind.
Not even Joe and Janine making underwater can save this show.
It is complete and utter shit going nowhere.
The story has been running circles for 2 episodes now and there is no resolution in the horizon.
It was only good for the first 4 hours.

Finished watching
1. Pride (Japanese drama)
The show is sexist. Like Pasta level sexist.
Barring that, it is really good but the heroine and her oodles of internalized misogyny had me cringing to bits.
I give a cautious recommendation if you can ignore the orthodox views that the writer shamelessly shoves down your throat.
TL;DR good story, good execution, surprisingly apt music, dated gender roles

2. Buzzer Beat
W*F was up with the ending?
I am starting to think all of Japan Ent has a woman problem.
The entire show was so amazing it had me glued to my chair but the ending was a huge disappointment. Like NOOO!!!!
It's not a sad ending, it's just f**king annoying how *SPOILER AHEAD* the heroine who worked all series to achieve her dream finally gets a go at it but the hero tells her she is not "allowed" to pursue it any longer. what the actual f**k!!!!

3. Papadoll
The cutest thing ever!!!!!!! It's not the most brilliant story but it is so easy to watch and so adorable. Plus, the main dude is getting prettier with age.

...contd jdrama review
4. Nodame Cantabelle

what was all the hype about?
It was an okay drama. too kiddie for my taste

5. love affairs in the afternoon (currently watching)

I LOVE IT!!!!!! no complains whatsoever.

one of the lead pair is a bit too goody two shoes. (They are the ones you are supposed to like and the parallel leads can be hated easily). I 'don't care. I like them both. I appreciate how it tackles so many serious topics and yet manages to be so juicy and popcorn worthy.

5. zero's truth (currently watching)

reminds me of bull doctor. I don't care. give me a medical setting and semi-interesting script and I am gold. I can swallow any and every procedural mistake in the book when it comes to the med/crime genre.
doctor stranger was an awful exception (DO NOT WATCH THAT SHIT).
I recommend this show to any weirdo like me.

Taiwan drama (currently watching)

The Way We Were

Ruby Lin is THE QUEEN. This show is everything a girl wants college to be. Plus, the 90s are an epic decade to the youth now. What a timely drama. Love it. sidenote: main dude has major dimple action going on. I have a crush, a big one. *swoon, swoon*
Ruby is beautiful as always.

One and a half summer

A half assed piece of shit! This drama has no soul, the story is patched up pieces of script that may have been stolen from the office trash of the writers of the reply 1994/97, in a good way, the way we were.
the goat sound is pissing me off. When I think goat, i think reply. Okay, you can sparingly use the sound effect but don't be a copycat.
overall, done to death concept. and no saving grace.

he reminds me of jim carrey in this show. he is basically carrying the whole show on his shoulders. jang nara is very good but her character is shit so not her fault.
side note: r all min ho fans here😛... when is gangnam blues releasing?

I know I am supposed to hate Heirs, that's what the majority decided but I LOVE IT. With all my heart I might add. I also didn't like Kim Won Bin's character despite all the fangirls debating otherwise. My only hero was Kim Tan and I f**king loved the California sequence despite the bad directing and horrible English. Bite me!

P.S. I don't find KWB hot. I like his other vampire idol model friends but not him. the guy is a passable actor in the friend series but not my type.
