I did a review on the first quarter of dramas , and I finally got some time to review some from the 2nd quarter if you are looking for something good to watch then here are some:
Oh My Lady (Korean)
4/5
I really enjoyed this drama; yes, Siwon's hotness was 50% of the reason, but I also think he's tremendously improved as an actor and I was really happy he was the lead (he debuted in Spring Waltz as a side role).
Pros: Lots of laughs, lots of shirtless-ness
Cons: Story isn't as new or refreshing; a lot cliches but the good cliches
Overall - Watch it
Cinderella Sister (Korean)
3/5
Okay say "MELODRAMA" over and over again really really fast....
That's what this drama became by the end of it - a whole bunch of gibberish. This drama starts out fantastic; its witty, really nice cinematography and the plot is very interesting (the perspective of Cinderella's sister) but gosh darn, they just had to go and ruin it.
Pros: Taec?
Cons: Plot is unneccessarily draggy, Cinderella is ANNOYING and really, the story goes absolutely nowhere by the end of the.
Overall - Watch it if you're bored and don't mind pulling out your hair or if you're a massive Taec fan~
Personal Taste (Korean)
4/5
This was a GOOD drama. I can't say it wowed me but definitely didn't disappoint. I really enjoyed Min Ho's acting. As always - he delivers. The story revolves around the main leads living together after mistaken gender-identity ala "Dostana"
Pros - GOOD ACTING
Cons - Kinda long, drags a bit, filming was a bit choppy
Overall - WATCH IT
JIN (Japanese)
4/5
If you're into medical dramas+historical dramas then this is THE drama for you. And if you're not, still watch it. I really enjoyed this show from beginning to end; the plot is super fast paced and detailed following the lines of true historical events in Japan. It's about a brain surgeon - Jin - who time travels back in time to the Shojon era to reverse the fate of his lover but things go haywire as he get stuck there where no one understands the medical technology he's using and he starts to change the fate of the people around him.
Pros - fantastic acting, storyline is really good
Cons - None!
Overall - Definitely must watch
Happy & Forever Love (China)
(4/5
A nice drama to pass the time. It's you're typical Taiwanese drama with a little twist here and there but I love Ming Dao so that's why I picked this one up and i wasn't disappointed. The story is about two people who meet by accident and become good friends, slowly discovering that their relationship and past go deeper than that.
Pros - MING DAO!
Con - The story is kinda long, the plot isn't as refreshing but its good nonetheless
Overall - Watch it
Tumbling (Japanese)
4.5/5
Seeing a bunch of dude's in leotards, I was a bit hesitant about watching it lol but as they say "Never Judge a Book by it's Cover"! This was a REALLY GOOD drama, from the first episode I was hooked. There is actually not female lead, that's the best part, the whole story revolves around this rebel who joins the failing male's gymnastic team to impress a girl on the female team and how this whole team forms and goes from failing to #1.
Pros - all the stunts are done by the actors themselves and absolutely fantastic, really great acting
Cons - I wish it was longer~ lol
Overall - MUST WATCH.
Love Me Again (Filipino)
3.5/5
If you're looking for something to just pass the time, I recommend this drama. It's filled with romantic comedy and lots of "love" *ahem* lol so if you want romance, then this is your drama. It's about a sister-brother duo who both move to the city to find a better place to live, where they bump into their former flames (I write a bad synopsis)~~
Pros - Funny and cute, male lead is HOT
Cons - Sometimes kind of over the top and nonsensical
Overall - Worth a shot
