Drama Masterlist
This list is to keep track of what I've seen and what I'm currently watching. It's slowly getting longer :D/
Currently watching
Ohitorisama
my status: 1
When an all-girls high school hires a clueless part-timer who is awkward and has no confidence as a substitute teacher, the happily single Akiyama-sensei gets assigned as his mentor. Okay maybe not-so-happily single after all. I liked it even though the male lead reminds me of Baby/Hyungjun. He's kind of precious though. I might have a crush on Akiyama-sensei, I was afraid she'd be a man-hating cold bitch but she has more depth than I expected. I'm interested to see where their relationship goes as their personalities are quite different. I don't really care about the 10 year difference.
Guren Onna
my status: 1-5
This is pretty amusing, a meek school teacher dresses up as the vengefull spirit of a burned woman to scare people. What I like is the effort she puts into it and then she encounters real ghosts XD it's short but I think it works well. If you're in the mood for something light and entertaining I'd reccommend this!
KO One
my status: 1-12
I love Jiro so naturally I had to watch it. I hate the teacher but the trio of Jiro, Calvin and Arron is good enough for me to keep watching. Plus there's Danson! Also there's this food stall guy that's pretty funny XD this was my first twdrama. I'm working on downloading more now, I want to complete it before moving on to X Family.
Invincible Shan Bao Mei
my status: 1
A girl that works at her father's restaurant can never get a boyfriend because of her weird strength, flat chest and she always smells like roast pork while on the other hand "Invincible" Wu Di drives people away with his cruel and arrogant behavior and when the two of them cross paths chaos ensues. This is almost like a spin off of Fated To Love You, it has some of the same cast and there's cameos by Cun Xi and Xin Yi, however you don't need to have seen FTLY first to enjoy it. What you can expect is over-dramatic acting and characters put in very awkward but very amusing situations XD
So I'm Not Handsome
my status: 1-2
JJ Lin plays a guy that is utterly convinced that he's hot stuff until he gets rejected by the school beauty queen. he has two best friends who are not above making money at his expense (they sell memorabilia of his rejection). I found it cute and promising, I'm looking forward to watching more. Also I dare anyone to resist JJ Lin XD
Trick
my status: season 1, season 2 (completed)
A magician and a university professor set out to prove that people with spiritual powers are frauds. This is my guilty pleasure xD;; the plot isn't great but just about everything is phallic and they like to make fun of Ueda's big peen. Also the two cops are so wacky/stupid XD I'm almost done, just have the 3rd season and two movies left.
Will continue later
9 ends 2 outs
my status: 1
I liked it, kinda sympathized with the main character. I'd like to have a younger man courting me too ;D though my taste runs more towards her friend, the sophisticated businessman.
Hachi-One Diver
my status: 1
Having loved Hikaru no Go it was easy for me to follow along, the world of go and shogi isn't too different. They even place pieces on the board in the same way. I love having a woman as the shogi master, though I wonder why she needs to work when she is making so much money. Haha all the special effects is like a live-action version of Hikago XD
Here is Greenwood
my status: 1-7
It's a pretty lighthearted drama about a dorm at an all-male academy that houses the weirdest students. It's based on a manga that also has an anime, both of which I've read/seen. The drama is amusing enough and I'll keep watching it if more gets subbed.
Kurosagi
my status: 1
Ugh the main female lead is SO annoying D: I don't know if I can stand her even with Yamapi there to distract me. stfu already, I didn't hear you coming up with a solution. I see that Yamapi has an allergy to underwear though so I might continue this later.
My Boss My Hero
my status: 1
I had no idea of the plot going into it so I was a bit surprised when it turned out to be about a young yakuza forced to go back to high school. It hasn't hooked me but Makio is good looking and it has Tegoshi so I'll keep watching. And uh.. whenever I go to fill Sirius's water dish I think "WAAAHTAAAAHH!" xD;;;; damn you Makio.
My Lucky Star
my status: 1
crappy video quality D: it kept macroing and blocking. It's a pity because the plot seems good, the rebel son of a rich jewelry business guy gets handcuffed to a fiesty jewelry theif and then his troubles really begin XD
Queen's
my status: 1
This guy is desperate to win the affections of the girl he likes and since she is into cosplaying and sewing he takes that up in order to get closer to her. unfortunately she only sees him as her best friend and instead has a crush on a jerky basketball player. Unwilling to give up he turns to a manga to help him become a real man and get the girl of his dreams. this is pretty amusing, specially since the basketball player has a crush on the dude when he's in drag XD lol weird love triangle.
Rolling Love
my status: 1
It's not as bad as I expected it to be after I heard it had low ratings. There seems to be a love triangle developing between Michelin (Jiro) a local cook of fried rice, Leng Lie (Danson) who is a famous young chef and a blind popstar. Screw that, gimme some WangTang! Anyway I like it enough to keep watching.
Say Yes Enterprise
my status: 1
Not sure what to make of it, there seems to be 7 parts. I'm only interested in the first part which has Vanness Wu playing an elite businessman possibly finding love with a dancer.
Wayward Kenting
my status: 1-3
I'd like this better minus the Endless Rain part. Han We and Liang are adorable though, not to mention Ethan ;D I'll probably keep watching it though I'm still trying to figure out what the plot is.
Witch Yoo Hee
my status: 1-7
The pairing of strict no-nonsense Yoo Hee and the freespirited wannabe chef is nice. I'd totally hit Johnny though 8D mm-mmm. What is it with dramas that have side characters that are hotter/better than the main lead?
Yukan Club
my status: 1
lol I thought this was based on a manga because it seems like all the popular dramas are nowadays. when I first saw Miroku I thought "....Hyunjoong?" xD;; and is it me or does Bidou look like Changmin? anyway it was amusing so I'll keep watching it.
Not continueing
A Game About Love
I wanted to watch this because the lead actress plays Xin Yi in FTLY. I'm disappointed that she plays yet another pushover woman. Said person gets dumped by her boyfriend and while drowning in misery she spots a painting of a flamenco dancer and decides to take dancing lessons. I'm guessing the artist and the owner of the art gallery will be making up the love triangle. Not sure if want.
Brown Sugar Macchiato
This kinda sucked balls. Normally I'd love the idea of 6 guys being forced to spend a year living together and one pairing was obvious (to me), the dude with the expensive car and the one with the motorcycle. UST right from the start. However it is ruined by a bunch of bitchy girls who seem to be the guys' potential love interests. Oh, and the maid's voice is extremely babyish and annoying! I think this has a sequel too, wtf?
Chu Chu My Daddy
It's about a guy that is very gullible and desperate for money so he gets roped into playing foster dad to 3 sisters. I don't like the eldest sister but the two younger sisters are amusing. One is a Naruto fangirl who always carries around a ball jointed doll that looks like her. However there's really nothing about it that makes me want to see more.
It Started With A Kiss
I found this one hard to stomach. I don't like the heroine at all, she has zero endearing qualities. I'm also getting tired of heroines rejecting perfectly good men in favor of jerks. Sorry Jiro, I tried to watch it but my newfound hate of Ariel Lin won out :|
Love Is Full Count
I don't know wtf was up with this drama. There's this girl who is obsessed with those cheap little toys you get in plastic balls and she tries to kill herself after getting dumped by her boyfriend -_- then there's a slacker employee with the hots for his lady supervisor and she's kinda into him too but now there's a rich young manager who wants to persue her. I've seen my share of over the top plots but this was just lame.
Marry Me!
It hasn't been subbed beyond the first episode T_T wtf it has Mike He! Doesn't everyone go nuts over his dramas? Anyway he plays a star that gets stood up at the altar and he has to go into hiding to avoid his fans who are rioting xD;; I can see this happening in real life *coughCASScough* if only someone would sub the rest of it.
When Dolphin Met Cat
I decided to check this out because of Eddie Peng. I was interested to see him in a more serious role but this was a bit too serious. There are several story lines which the first episode introduces and a large cast, it's confusing to say the least. I got bored not even halfway into the episode and tired of trying to keep up. Eddie looks damn good though, I'd still hit it.
Zettai Kareshi
It's different from the manga, not really in a good way. I like the chief of the bakery company, the one who is a playboy and slacks off at work, but none of the rest made an impression on me :\ but if it gets better do let me know!
Completed
Devil Beside You
Rainie Yang is ADORABLE OMG D: I've heard of her ofcourse but this is my first time seeing her in a drama. This is a romantic comedy where girl chases boy but ends up attracting the attention of a bad boy (played by Mike He). Meng is a total softie on the inside XD the whole gang is pretty amusing and Ahrang is super adorable! I just wanna squish him. I can't stand chocolate fetish girl though.
Evil Spirit 05
Uh don't go into this expecting much of a plot or sense for that matter. There's ghosts, vengeful spirits, an evil buddhist master and three people tied together by fate. See these two monks fell for the same girl and their sacred relics were stolen. Now reincarnated they search for the relics. Unbeknownst to them the girl has also been reincarnated. There's also the Other Guy who is cute, too bad he never stood a chance.
Fated To Love You
This one turned out way better than I expected. Initially the plot sounded lame but then I saw a screencap of Dylan decided to try it and I'm glad I did! Xin Yi's family is hilarious, Ethan can be really adorable and ofcourse there's Baron <3 definately reccommended. It's not completely light hearted though, beware tearjerkers from around ep 11+
Goong
This series is one that is always recc'ed and it was my first kdrama. It's pretty amusing however at times it's like a trainwreck that you can't look away from xD;; I have to say it was pretty good. WHERE IS GOONG 2?!
Liar Game
My first jdrama! It's about a really naive girl who gets involved with a game where you have to lie, cheat and steal to win. She finds a expert swindler to help her out of the mess but they won't let her out of the game so easily. I love it a lot because it's unique, never boring with lots of twists and I was always looking forward to the next episode.
Miss No Good
I still don't know how it hooked me but it did. It's about a woman named Xiao Hua (Rainie Yang) who likes to wear every color of the rainbow... at the same time. Her old friend Jia Si Le comes back from Japan about 100 pounds lighter (not to mention rich and handsome) and wants to date her, however she realizes that she'll need to change in order to fit into his high class world. Tang Men (Wilber Pan), a hot young stylist, is enlisted to give her a makeover so she can win over Si Le's family. I adored Wilber Pan in this! He was great as the cold stylist who slowly opens up. He's also a giant dork behind the scenes XD the supporting characters were pretty good too, I laughed so hard at Tang Men's assistant. It's just really unfortunate that most people will get turned off by the voice Rainie uses :\
Remote
First time seeing Koichi as an actor <3 I'm a big Kinki Kids fan. It's about a genius detective that never leaves his basement so he gets assigned a lady meter reader to help him solve crimes, she has to investigate crime scenes for him and be his eyes and ears. Anyway it's enjoyable enough and I liked the ending even though it's open ended.
RH Plus
Shounen ai and vampires, what could be better? There's 16 year old Makoto and Ageha, college student Masakazu and their guardian Kiyoi. Makoto is adorable but has trouble opening up to people while Ageha is goofy, outgoing, cheerful and protective of Makoto. Masakazu is obsessed with going to group dates and meeting girls, it's so funny when he meets his match. Then there's Kiyoi who cooks and takes care of them, he is caring and wants them to be a real family. The series deals with Makoto's past and the bonds between all of them. It's a cute, fun series to watch if you're tired of angst-filled dramas.
