*****/perfect!
Great cast,awesome scenery!

I'm following the All In being aired on Channel U on Saturdays.I would say that Its not your typical Korean drama.I wasn't attracted to the whole storyline but i preferred Winter Sonata which is being aired right after All In airs.I still prefer the good old sappy romance of First Love that Winter Sonata's main theme is.Perfect in every sense;its the epitome of a CLASSIC korean drama complete with the gorgeous cast--Park Yong Ha,Bae Yong Jun and Choi Ji Woo.All veterans in their own right.

I'd say this is by far THE BEST korean drama I have seen and thus deserves the 5 star rating!!

PETITION TO TV2: At the moment there is an online petition going on to collect as many signatures as possible to be submitted to TV2 so that the station will continue with the airing of non-dubbed Korean dramas. The station had taken off the air the Korean drama slot since November last year. For those who are not aware, TV2 was the station that aired Beautiful Days in the original Korean version in 2002.
We would appreciate it very much if you could join us in the petition. To sign-up, please click here.

cast: Kim Jae Won, Kim Ha Neul..
rating 1-5: ****

wow..that what can i said about Romance..lagi best dari lakonan Nanako dan Hideaki Takizawa...jalan cerita dia menarik dan tak de lah meleret-leret sangat macam sesetengah cerita

good story line dan good scting especially from Kim Ha Neul and Kim Jae Won. Part yang paling kelakar ialah masa Kim Jae Won dan Kim Ha Neul dapat tahu identity sebenar diaorang. that happened when Kim JAe Won berpindah sekolah ke tempat Kim Ha Neul mengajar..so funny and crazy...

besides ada komedi cerita ni pun penuh juga dengan air mata. When diaorang kena berpisah for 3 years. But overall i like this drama and one of my favourite at this moment.

harap-harap cerita ni akan keluar kat tv tak lama lagi. Hopefully

It'll probably be a long wait for K-dramas to return to our small screen. Channel 9 dah memang tak ambil foreign soaps except dari negara2 ASEAN. And TV2 tu memang tak boleh diselamatkan lagi, hantar petition pun.....senyap je. And ntv7 pulak, kena buat drama sendiri jawabnya...

Tinggal 8TV je, tapi itu pun tak tahu bila. The timing tak kena and cerita masih lagi dubbing. What can we do....take it or leave it?

itu sebab i amik Astro channel Shuang Xin...ada drama korea buat masa nie
best gak cerita nie...kelakar

Nae Een Saeng Euh Kong Kkak Ji- My Blind Love (MBC)
cast: So Yoo Jin, Park Gwang Hyun, Jung Min, Kim Ji Woo

In the fall of 1993, So Yoo Jin meets Park Gwang Hyun while working for a political campaign. So Yoo Jin hates Park because of his extreme friendliness, and their relationship as a friend dissolves when Park goes to the army. In the two years in the meanwhile, So meets Jung Min, a med student with whom she falls in love with. Jung becomes her first true love, and things seem to be going all right until she finds out that Park is Jung's close friend. Park's stupid joke breaks the couple apart, and a few years pass again. They meet again when Park is looking for a job after having finished his army duty. So is annoyed at how she always meets Park again and again, and again stops meeting him. In this endless cycle, it seems it has become fate that Park and So always meet eachother again. Seeing eachother going through so many relationships, they grow an attachment to eachother that suprises them both.
rating: Very Good
comments: This is a musical drama set to tell the ten-year span relationship between a guy and a girl. It is a cute "teen drama", and is worth watching if you're in for a few laughs and a few touching moments.

cerita ada jual kat SM tajuk dia My life is a beanpot...

cast: Jo Hyun Jae, Song Hye Gyo, Ryu Seung Bum
rating: ***1/2

hari tu gi S&M tengok cerita ni dah keluar ada 13 cd untuk 16 episod harga dia pun murah walaupun cerita baru cuma RM32.90

overall beli cerita ni pun sebab Jo Hyun Jae. Rindu sangat nak tengok dia lagi selepas Love Letter. Cerita dia memang best sangat. Jalan ceritanya bagus dan lakonan masing-masing semua bagus. So kepada sesape yang nak tengok watak SHG yang lain daripada yang lain tengoklah cerita ni. Kalau sebelum ni watak yang dia bawa selalunya perempuan lembut macam dalam Autumn In My Heart or Guardian Angel tapi dalam cerita ni watak dia lain sangat. Pas tu yang paling penting Jo Hyun Jae oppa. He so romantic dalam cerita ni al maklumlah kononnya dalam cerita ni dia berhijrah ke France sejak umur dia 11 tahun dia balik Korea pun sebab nak halang girlfriend dia dari berkahwin dengan orang lain. So bolehlah tengok keromantikan JHJ dalam cerita ni. Dengan candlenya, softligtnya..hai...JHJ oppa

.... Ryu Seung Bum pula susah nak kata sebab ni first time tengok dia dalam drama. Walaupun tak handsome tapi lakonan dia memang best juga tak mengecewakan.

Lagu-lagu dia semuanya best dan sedih je dengarnya. At this moment lagu ni lah yang jadi favourite.

Satu je yang tak puas hati ending dia. It kind like open ending so its make me a little bit dissapointed. Ialah dalam Love Letter JHJ (Andrew) tak dapat bersama dengan So Ae (Eun Ha) dalam erti kata yang sebenar. Dalam cerita ni pun sama. OOOOpppppss sori spoiler sikit.

OK lah kat bawa ni synopsis for the drama.............

Sunlight pours down - Haet Bit Sso Da Ji Da
cast: Song Hye Gyo, Jo Hyun Jae, Ryu seung bum

Yun-woo's (song hye gyo) happy childhood came to a halt when her policeman father passed away. Her mom remarries and gives birth to a half sister yun-woo but dies due to illness. Yun-woo is caught between a new step father and half sister. Hence, she becomes bitter towards them.

Min-ho's (ryu seung bum) father is the colleague of Yun-woo's father so he develops a close relationship with Yun-woo. He becomes a close friend to her and loves her in secret. Until Eun-sup (jo hyun jae) appears into Yun-woos life and their situation changes. Eun-sup is not eager to love because of his parent's early divorce but changes his mind as he gets to know Yun-woo.

cast: Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Hun Joo, Jang Hyuk, Kim Ha Neul
rating: ***

ok lah cerita ni..tapi rasanya cerita dia sedikit lembab.Tapi story line dia ok dan best banyak conflict.

Satu je yang buat orang bertahan nak tengok cerita ni ialah sebab Jang Hyuk. OMG he looks totally different from Successful Story of The Bright Girl. Suka sangat rupa dia dalam cerita ni.

sedikit summary cerita ni.......drama ni mengisahkan perjalanan hidup 4 anak muda dalam usia awal 20-an yg menghadapi pelbagai rintangan & dugaan dalam menghadapi hidup, dan adakala diorang putus asa bila ada cabaran yg terlalu berat untuk diorang handle...Lee Yeon-hee (Kim Hyun Joo) & Han Myung-ha (Jang Hyuk) tinggal berdekatan di satu kawasan kejiranan miskin & berkawan baik...Kang In-ha (Cha Tae Hyun) & Kang Soo-bin pulak adalah 2 org anak org kaya yg spoiled & bermasalah...cerita diorang bermula semasa Yeon-hee & Soo-bin masih di sekolah menengah di mana keempat2 mereka bertemu dan Yeon-hee & Soo-bin mula bersahabat...setiap dari mereka punya masalah masing2 yg kadang2 tak mampu diorang hadapi...

watak Kim Ha Neul memang berbeza dalam cerita ni dia jadi seorang yang aggresive kalau depan orang lain dan juga depan mak tiri dia tapi bila berdepan dengan bapa dia dan juga kaum keluarga dia dia jadi lain pula seolah-olah anak yang obey dengan arahan parents tapi sebenarnya dia suka memberontak juga. Cha Tae Hyun pula dalam cerita ni tak de watak-watak komedi dia. Cuma yang orang paling suka bila part dia dengan Kim Hun Joo. OMG so romantic and sweet sangat. Contohnya masa dia panggil KHJ ke pejabat dia pastu dia kata dia penat then dia suruh KHJ datang rapat sikit pas tu dia peluk KHJ. Romanticlah..

watak Jang Hyuk yang paling best sekali. dalam cerita ni dia looks charming dan boleh buat orang cair...suka pendamkan perasaan walaupun ada hati dengan KHN..hai tak boleh lupa rupa Jang Hyuk dalam cerita ni..
