My Top K-picks with Reviews!

If you're a beginner in the world of k-dramas, here are some of my recomendations
  
1. Coffee Prince: This drama is just so amazing I can't even describe it. This is the first drama I ever watched and definitely my favorite. It got me completely addicted to this world! It made me go through all the human emotions and was really touching! Also has really good music (a sign of a good drama!). And woo baby! Kim Jae Wook you are looking fiiine!


2. Secret Garden: Just as good as Coffee Prince. Again this drama is highly addicting!! The whole body switching that's mentioned in the synopsis plays a HUGE role but isn't introduced until relatively late in the show. Again like Coffee Prince I cried, laughed, and got angry with the characters. By the way, even though I compare this drama to Coffee Prince, the plot lines are completely different so you won't be watching the same show twice. Great music.
 3. Shining Inheritance: Also known as Brilliant Legacy but I think Shining Inheritance fits more with the plot.A very close runner-up to the two before it on this list. Again, a completely different plot line but I sympathized with the heroine a lot. This is another very powerful drama that really riles a person up when looking at the heroines family and the family she moves in with. In this drama the audience is never sure how to perceive the heroines step-sister, is she nice or evil like her mother. And even though the stepmother seems to have a flat personality, she actually does care about her biological daughter, but I still hate her. I occasionally hummed along...
4. Mary Stayed Out All Night: I must admit that I was hesitant to watch this, but I felt the same about Coffee Prince too. It's a fun drama, definitely. The heroine's father pisses me off... a lot. The music in this drama is really good too, after all, the plot is heavily entangled with it. Kim Jae Wook and Jang Geun Suk are soooooo friggin fine!!!! (look for them on my blog!). Jang Geun Suk really has an awesome voice! I might be a little hard to get through because the dad can be sooooo annoying. Looking back, there was a pattern of events occasionally but nothing majorly repetitive. Definitely another must watch!


5. You're Beautiful: Yay! Jang Geun Suk is back!! Yet another music drama. At the beginning, depending on your tastes, the heroine might be a bit annoying if you dislike passive people. It was actually a bit of a turn-off for me but it was better by the second episode. That nun is not all what she seems to be! The plot is more in depth than it seems with bits of family trouble thrown in. There's even a classic 'are we related?!' bit which is very engaging. The characters are all interesting. Go for it! Lots of Eye candy!!! (Jeremy is sooooo cute!)
6. I Am Legend: Yep, another music drama, but definitely different. I'm almost tempted to put this one at fifth actually. think of this as 5.5. This drama does not revolve around teens but instead around the middle age women of society. There's a dash of law and the plot is as thick as gravy. Very very engaging. The ending was satisfying unless you really latch on to your ideal couple, then it might be slightly disappointing but not a total let down. Awesome music. When it gets into the legal sections,which is actually more of the mainstream plot although it seems not to be,it can get really irkful because there are some really unfair going ons! But you know what? To hell with that because this was an awesome drama!



 
7. What's Up Fox: Really good drama! This drama is really funny and makes the audience really want to root for the main couple. The way the heroes begin their interactions is shocking to say the least but provides the fodder for a very entertaining show. It definitely deserves its spot on this list!





8. Miss Kim's Million Dollar Quest: This drama might be a little harder to find but keep looking because it's worth it! A betrayed miser and a bankrupt young master meet in a quest to survive in a demanding world. They run into a lot of problems but always come out on top! It's an inspiring piece that makes a person want to work harder. It's really finny and I highly recommend it. Highly.
These are my absolute tops I hope you enjoy them!!!
