Now that another wave of dramas is ending (I am looking at you Secret & shortly, Mi-rae's Choice & Heirs, but for now, Secret), I have got to renew my watch list. Here are some of the dramas I am considering giving a shot:
The Woman Who Married Three Times: sounds promising but I am out the second it gets too melodramatic. Tears and angst, not my cup of tea, although my past choices contradict me (pretend you didn't hear that). I am new woman now and I refuse get sucked in to the blackhole of K-drama death and Ommouni-torture.

You, From Another Star/The Man From Another Star (better known as the drama that can't stick to a damn name): This drama has the stupidest casting I have seen in recent times. Seriously, a 20 year guy is cast as a 200 year university PROFESSOR. I don't see any sane reason for hiring this actor other than his drool worthy looks. Why K-drama, why? (Actually, I am not complaining. I am already dreaming chocolate abs underneath that button up covering the yummy, yummy waist). Seriously though, the rational viewer in me takes issue with the casting. And don't tell me there is a totally non-plausible explanation behind this like aliens can be both young looking and possess super-human intelligence. If you are trying to fit in a crowd, you don't transform your looks to stand out in any capacity. A young and hot professor WILL grab attention. See for your self:

Mom Needs a Man: Need I say more? The name & the premise is just SO CUTE!!!!!!! I will eat this drama up like it is Bak-Ha's (or was she Park-Ha, the point is lost) omurice from Rooftop Prince. I have sky high expectations from this drama and my little K drama beating heart would break into pieces if it does not deliver.

Prime Minister and I: To be honest, I don't expect much. The pairing & plot is unconventional and that is what makes the drama so promising and exciting to look forward to. But, Yoona? I cannot get behind that bandwagon. Just no. I have no idea who the main man is. Though I do recognize the second leads (both male and female). So, the only reason I am giving this a shot is because of the premise. One condition: I ask that the heroine be HALF decent (not likely) & atleast hold her own around the man who holds so much power. Otherwise, I will drop it like a hot potato.

Anyways, those are my thoughts on the upcoming storm of TV shows. What are some of the shows that made it to your watch list? Any comments about the shows about? Let me know down below.

This.
Oh my god...why Yoona of all people!!! they might as well just have a cardboard box acting...I'm sorry, I'm pretty vocal about my distaste about her, every drama I've tried to watch with her has been an utter fail and then to top it off, it's with Lee Beom Soo...THE Lee Beom Soo, he's like a drama legend...i can just feel the anti's already...I don't know if I'll tune in, the rest of the dramas this reason would have to be horrendous for me to want to watch this lol

Hmmm I am looking forward to the Man from Another Star cause 1) Kim Soo Hyun = yum 2) Jin Ji Hyun comeback!!! She's amazing and I think this will be an interesting drama indeed although I fail to understand how a professor looks this young and beautiful lol mine all look old and ugly haha

Mom who needs a man looks super cute, I want to check that one out...I'm not sure about Woman Who Marries Thrice, it hasn't perked my interest yet

I am mildly interested in Pretty Boy with IU and Jang Geun Suk although he better cut his hair soon because god it's atrocious but the story seems like it might be cute. I have always loved IU's acting...she's a fine example of crossover from singer to acting (my other fav being Eun Ji)
I'm actually looking forward to tvN's Let's Eat - my two favs in one - food and love!😆 tvN has always pleased me with it's out of the box series and zippy drama's so I'm looking forward to this one!

I'm terms of variety...I am sooo excited for second season spin off of Grandpa's Over Flowers...aptly titled with Noona's Over Flowers😆 with Lee Seungi as the luggage boy this time...if you haven't checked out the first season yet, it's a reality show about 4 of our fav grandpa actors who take an adventures...

And finally MIss Korea - I am super interested in this one and if they do it right, I think it's going to be awesome...I mean, it's pretty much the Korean version of Little Miss Sunshine except it's a grown woman, a bigger competition and a whole village rooting for our main lead!

After the disappointment of Heirs and the surprise of Secret, I know not to get my hopes up for anything - really- and definitely try and give a shot to drama's you don't think you'd expect to like, cause you never know!

thank you. I was (kind of) expecting rotten tomatoes thrown at me. So atleast I have someone on my side. that woman can't act for shit.
and then to top it off, it's with Lee Beom Soo...THE Lee Beom Soo, he's like a drama legend...i can just feel the anti's already...I don't know if I'll tune in, the rest of the dramas this reason would have to be horrendous for me to want to watch this lol
I had to google Lee Beom Soo. I feel ashamed 😳 not really. I'll blame it on my younger genes😉😉
Hmmm I am looking forward to the Man from Another Star cause 1) Kim Soo Hyun = yum 2) Jin Ji Hyun comeback!!! She's amazing and I think this will be an interesting drama indeyoed although I fail to understand how a professor looks this young and beautiful lol mine all look old and ugly haha
@pink you took the words out of my mouth.
Mom who needs a man looks super cute, I want to check that one out...I'm not sure about Woman Who Marries Thrice, it hasn't perked my interest yet
I am thinking of dropping it today. It has a lot of in-law drama so far and I do not need to be watching that.
I am mildly interested in Pretty Boy with IU and Jang Geun Suk although he better cut his hair soon because god it's atrocious but the story seems like it might be cute. I have always loved IU's acting...she's a fine example of crossover from singer to acting (my other fav being Eun Ji)
I am so annoyed by Asia's Prince's *rolls eyes* antics these days that I might just skip over this one. Love Rain was a DISASTER but this one atleast sounds all fluff. Maybe I will wait till it has finished airing.
oh and he did cut that ugly mess of a hairdo FINALLY!
I'm actually looking forward to tvN's Let's Eat - my two favs in one - food and love!😆 tvN has always pleased me with it's out of the box series and zippy drama's so I'm looking forward to this one!

I have been searching for a subbed version for way too long. le sigh. and yes noonas over flowers aka RUN SEINGI (running joke on set)😆 I am so excited for this one. just a breath of fresh air.
And finally MIss Korea - I am super interested in this one and if they do it right, I think it's going to be awesome...I mean, it's pretty much the Korean version of Little Miss Sunshine except it's a grown woman, a bigger competition and a whole village rooting for our main lead!
I forgot about this one. I should have included it. I am definately going to give it a watch even if just to find out what the hype is about. And Little Miss Sunshine is one of my favourite movies of all times (that'll tell you somethings😆) now you've got me curious.

Great list!! I agree!! You never know what to expect from a K drama! Personlly, the more hyped it is the more we expect and it always does disappoint atleast for me...Secret Love came out of nowhere for me and became the best ever!

I definitely do not have any expectations from these new ones though! So, I am planning to watch them all and judge them as they go on..I am very excited so many new dramas are coming along.

P.S...You do know, Anne and Tik's Yeh Leum Chan, personally my most awaited Thailand drama! They look sizzling together in the BTS!! And, let me tell ya this pair is gonna give tough competition to Ken and Anne's pair! There was this interview where Tik was like, "I hope we get to do more close and romantic scenes"!😆..I have been waiting for months and years for this pairing to happen!! And it seems like a very passionate, revenge, betrayal drama a little like Sawan Biang! 😃

Why doesn't YG let Sandara Park act?!!!!!! You can just see how many different expressions she has on her face even while she is just chatting, or even speaking casually! I really wanna see her act!
I personally feel she is so much of a better actor in all of the female K pop idols!!!! I would have preferred her over Yoona, if they wanted someone famous!!!!

Ann and Tik are in a drama together?? What!? lol I totally didn't know this, I knew she was coming out in a new one soon! I'll have to check the BTS...I am super duper excited for Roy Fun Tawan Deurd (as you know my love for Yaya & Nadech) - have you seen the BTS for this...wholy crappo, its going to be epic. Another one on my list is Dao Kiang Deun with Namtarn (Pichy) and Ken Phumpoo - if you saw Majurat See Nampeung, she was in that with the other, more famous, Ken lol they're both new but BTS shows lots of chemistry so I think it might be good!

Oh papa YG - this man has frustrated me for YEARS. But I won't get into that. I agree, Sandara did a lot of acting back in the Philippines, and she even got offered drama roles in Korean but YG decided she should just focus on music -_-

Thanks for reminding me about Yaya and Nadech..had completely forgotten about that! Really not nice on my part..😆..It seems even they have a very intense and passionate drama! So excited, and I believe Anne and Tik's is coming out in November-January! Somewhere in these 3 months!!😃

I will definitely keep in mind about Dao Kiang Deun! I loved her w/ Ken..that is the only Thai drama this year I have watched and loved! TFS!

I'm so glad this forum is active off late 😆
Ok i'm mainly consider watching Miss Korea and Man from another star.

Man from another star, mainly cause it stars Jun Ji hyun! I just adore her and seeing her in dramas would be a different ball game. I have no problem with the premise as such. Although i'm not a huge fan of supernatural meets rom com kind of dramas, but yah this one i'm willing to give a shot, the stills give a positive vibe. Plus Jun ji jyun plays a hot shot super star. Bas, any story having a hot shot super star as one of the characters just has me in 😆

Miss Korea, should be interesting with the small town girl trying to go up being the beauty queen (or rather people trying their best to turn her into one 😆)

Staying away from Prime Minister and I cause of the Yoona factor too haha. But i am very indecisive about whether to watch pretty man or not. Because both Jang Geun Suk and IU are playing the same monotonous roles all over again. Esp geun suk, man he needs to do something apart from those dashing arrogant stud guy kind of roles, and IU is too pretty to play ugly.

IU is definitely too pretty to play ugly...I will watch for IU though I just wanna see how she does! Even I am happy that this forum has been activeoiff late, otherwise it is pretty much dead!😆
