I'm Sorry I Love You (2004)

5. I'm Sorry I Love You (2004)

A man who was adopted by a couple and grew up in Australia comes back to Korea to look for his biological mother. With only three months left to live, he has to use his time wisely. However, hatred, jealousy, and misunderstanding make it difficult for this poor lonely man to live up his remaining days. Fortunately, there is a kindhearted girl who is always by his side.
 

Found this while looking for pictures related to I'm Sorry I Love You. So cute.
I like this drama primarily because it is different from the other Korean dramas. Besides romantic love, this drama also focuses on the mother-son love, which I really like. The ending is acceptable. (7/10)

The Vineyard Man/The Man in the Vineyard (2006)

4. The Vineyard Man/The Man in the Vineyard (2006)

A city girl has to live in the countryside and work in the vineyard for a year before she could inherit the lands from her grand uncle. At first she hates it, but as she learns the hardship and happiness of farming, she begins to treasure her days in the vineyard.


Love it. Many of my friends do not like the lead actor because he is not handsome. I have to disagree with them, I think the lead actor is attractive and he suits the character very well. (8/10)

Couple or Trouble/Fantasy Couple (2006)

3. Couple or Trouble/Fantasy Couple (2006)

An arrogant heiress meets a poor handsome plumber in several unfortunate incidents that leave them hating each other. The heiress then loss her memory in an accident. Taking advantage from this situation, the plumber plans to teach her a lesson by assuring her that she is his girlfriend, and that she needs to baby sit his three nephews.


Not many of my friends like this drama. I'm not sure why. I think this drama is so refreshing and entertaining. Some people question the ending but I actually like it. (8/10)

Coffee Prince (2007)

2. Coffee Prince (2007)

A girl, due to her rough appearance, is mistaken for a guy and hired to work in a coffee house. The girl and the owner of the shop then fall in love, but both of them can't admit it since the girl is afraid of losing her job, while the boss is afraid of being gay.


Love it so much. I usually hate females who pretend to be males in drama because they are usually rubbish, but Yoon Eun Hye did a very good job in this drama. She's so natural. The drama is a bit dull in the middle because the conflicts are being dragged for too long. But I think overall, it is entertaining. (7/10)

My Name is Kim Sam-Soon/My Lovely Sam Soon (2005)

It's been a while since I wrote something about Korean drama/movie.
Although I prefer to watch Japanese dramas than Korean dramas because they are usually shorter, I actually prefer Korean drama than Japanese dramas when it comes to cinematography.
Korean dramas/movies are usually very clear while the Japanese dramas/movie usually look gloomy.
Here are some of my favorite Korean dramas in no particular order (be advised that my taste is sometimes weird, not all people will love my selection of dramas).

1. My Name is Kim Sam-Soon/My Lovely Sam Soon (2005)

What will happen when a young, rich, successful, and handsome man falls in love with an unattractive, but kindhearted and unique woman who is a few years older than him?


I watched this drama twice, and I love it both time. I always root for the supposedly 'unattractive' and 'hopeless' leading actress. I think this kind of character is very interesting. The ending is a bit loose though, but still, it is enjoyable. (7/10)

With Love (1998) II

The internet connects us all.
With Love, Teruterubozu.

I just finished watching this drama again. Really like it.

It is so full of hope. It shows how normal people doing normal office jobs are also important human being that have feelings that need to be treasured.

The only thing that I don't like about this drama is the part where Hata-san and Teruterubozu reciting their e-mails. That was so anti-climax, and not to forget, nagai!!!

Oh yes, the opening song is catchy. I think this is what I remember the most about this drama when I was little.

With Love (1998)

It's a wonder how some things remain in our mind for a very long time.

I still remember, when I was a kid, I like to watch Japanese dramas on TV.
One of them that I still remember until now is the drama 'With Love' starring Tekenouchi Yutaka.

I was 12 when I watched this drama for the first time.
Thinking back, I didn't really understand what the drama was about.
All I knew was, the opening song of this drama is so interesting.
'Once in a Blue Moon' and 'Teruterubozu', I remember these so clearly.
I wonder why.

Oh yes, I realized that when I was young, I didn't care how cute the actors were.
All I care was how pretty the actresses were.

Now, I'm watching it again for the second time. This time, the feeling is different.
