[Drama Review #38] - Nice Guy 착한남자 善良的男人


Nice Guy 착한남자 is the thirty-eighth drama I've finished. This drama is also known by its full name, No Such Thing As Nice Guys 세상 어디에도 없는 차칸남자. Nice Guy brings together Song Joong Ki and Lee Kwang Soo who were on the main cast of the popular variety show, Running Man. Both actors built up a very good friendship on the show. As a result, many fans and I were looking forward to seeing their acting chemistry in a drama series. Nice Guy also stars Park Si Yeon, who I previously seen in My Girl. Nice Guy's main female lead is Moon Chae Won. Although I had not seen any of Moon Chae Won's previous works, I was eager to see her talent as an actress.

[Drama Review #27] - Secret Garden 시크릿 가든 秘密花園


The twenty-seventh drama is Secret Garden 시크릿 가든. Secret Garden was a highly popular drama in during the late 2010 and early 2011. This drama would bring together Hyun Bin who I watched in The Snow Queen and Kim Sa Rang who I saw in A Love to Kill. After hearing about this drama from friends, I read a synopsis and was very interested in this drama. However, I hesitated a little after finishing City Hunter, which I felt was too amazing. As a result, I was a little late with starting Secret Garden. Nevertheless, Secret Garden would also become one of my favorite dramas.

[Drama Review #21] - Dream High 드림하이 追夢高中


Dream High 드림하이 became the twenty-first drama I finished. Most of the previous dramas I had watched were already completed by the time I started. Dream High is perhaps the first drama where I watched each episode as it aired in Korea. In fact, it was necessary to keep up each week due to ridiculous amount of spoilers all over the Internet. It was one of the most anticipated dramas in 2011 because of who the actors and actresses were. The six main actors and actresses include: Miss A's Suzy, 2PM's Taecyeon and Wooyoung, T-ara's Eun Jung, solo artist IU and actor Kim Soo Hyun. Park Jin Young, CEO of JYP Entertainment was producing the drama alongside Hallyu star, Bae Yong Joon. It was quite a surprise since I had not seen Bae Yong Joon since his famous role in Winter Sonata. Both producers were also part of the cast in Dream High, increasing the hype for this drama.

[Drama Review #19] - Cinderella Man 신데렐라맨 辛德瑞拉先生


Cinderella Man 신데렐라맨 is the nineteenth drama I've ever seen. My initial interest in the drama was the casting list. I had seen Kwon Sang Woo from Stairway to Heaven, Im Yoon Ah from You Are My Destiny and Han Eun Jung from Full House. All three of those dramas were ones I enjoyed very much and felt excited at this idea of all three actors/actresses coming together for a drama. It seemed important to watch Cinderella Man, especially as a SNSD fan.
