I'm not that boring

I love K-dramas.
I'm watching my 4th South Korean drama, and even though the plot is pretty much the same as the others I've seen, I keep loving them.

I first fell in love with them when watching "Boys Before Flowers" (Boys Over Flowers/ Hana Yori Dango). Such a fresh plot from the awful Portuguese and British soap operas (plus K-dramas are usually short, being composed of 16 to 30 - half an hour or one hour - episodes).

Synopsis: Jan Di is an average girl whose family owns a dry cleaning store located near the luxurious and well known Shin Hwa College. Jan Di meets the four richest and most spoiled boys known as the F4. After saving a boy from jumping off the roof of Shinhwa High School, she is admitted into the school on a swimming scholarship. Jan Di tries to avoid confrontation with the F4 at all cost because she knows what happens to those that stand against them. However, when Jan Di's friend, Oh Min Ji, accidentally gets ice cream on the leader of the F4's shoes, she's forced to declare war on the leader of the F4, Goo Joon Pyo.

I just love the guy that does Yoon Ji Hoo (Kim Hyun Joong) >w<

Another K-drama that I really enjoyed was "My Girl"

Synopsis: When Gong Chan (Lee Dong Wook) meets the lively and beautiful Yoo Rin (Lee Da Hae), he finds out that she has connections to his missing cousin, whom his grandfather has been searching for. He asks Yoo Rin to lie about being his long missing cousin until he can find his real cousin. She says yes, but soon their feelings for each other get in the way of their plans. Gong Chan's friend, Jung Woo (Lee Joon Ki) falls for Yoo Rin while Gong Chan's ex-girlfriend, Seo Hyun (Park Si Yeon), a pro tennis player, tries to win him back. Will the two ever tell each other how they feel? Will Gong Chan ever find his real cousin?


And "Coffee Prince"

Synopsis: The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his "homosexuality"?

Lastly I am watching "Full House" right now and I am loving it. (I cry every episode I watch, is just so touching and funny at the same time).

Synopsis: Han Ji Eun is a naive writer who got swindled out of everything she owned including her house by her best friends. Stranded in China, She managed to borrow money from an actor Lee Young Jae to return to Korea. On her return, she found out that her house was bought by Lee Young Jae. In an attempt to get her possessions back, she entered in a contract marriage with Young Jae for one year. In spite of losing all, Ji Eun manages to be cheerful and takes things in strike and the business relationship between the two becomes personal as they start to rely and care for each other. Based on a popular manhwa of the same title.

I am planning to watch Full House 2, Triple, Take Care of the Young Lady, Goong, The Vineyard Man, Winter Sonata, and the japanese Hana Kimi.

Since I am a big romantic dramas/films fan I have seen a few K-films as well, such as 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant, 200 Pounds Beauty and My Sassy Girl. Oh and LOLed with We Got Married (a "reality show" that portraits famous participants trying to be real life couples).

I leave the recommendations and go watch another episode of Full House XP *
