30 Day Kdrama Challenge: Day 21 Your Worst Actor

Day 21: Your Worst Actor

Kim Hyun Joong in Boys Over Flowers

Kim Hyun Joong in Barefoot Friends

It's time to drop a little bit of hate, but I'll explain it, so don't worry. Kim Hyun Joong is my least favorite Korean drama actor for two reasons Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss. His acting style just does not suit my taste. Yes, he has heavenly good looks, but when he's on screen that's all he is good for. He is too stoic and unemotional to draw me in. Now, cut to Kim Hyun Joong in the variety show Barefoot Friends, and I love him now. He is so much more mature and handsome with the short haircut, and his personalty really shines through. OK, he's still a fairly conservative guy, but at least we get to see a glimmer of the playfulness that was missing from his drama acting. Watch Barefoot Friends, Boys Over Flowers, and Playful Kiss on DramaFever

30 Day Kdrama Challenge: Day 19 Your Favorite Actor

Day 19: Your Favorite Actor

Lee Min Ho in Faith

Imja!!! Well, there isn't much to think about for day 19. Lee Min Ho is definitely me favorite Korean actor. It's not just his acting skills that draw me in; his whole persona is magnetic. He is beyond gorgeous, he has cute quirks, he can sing, he can act, he is tall, he has a great speaking voice... the list really goes on and on. My favorite drama of his is Personal Taste. He is hilarious as a prickly character who tries to act cool on the outside, but is actually very soft and gentle inside. He is perfection!

Day 5: Your Favorite Female Third Wheel Character

Lee Min Jung as Ha Jae Kyung in Boys Over Flowers

Lee Min Jung is an awesome comedic actress. Her character Ha Jae Kyung in Boys Over Flowers is my favorite female third wheel. Jae Kyung was tough, spunky, and, in some ways, the girl version of Goo Joon Pyo. Even though she grew to like Joon Pyo and also wanted to be loved by him, she gave that up in order to unite him with the girl he loved, Geum Jan Di. She was jealous at times, yes, but she never became the psychotic girl who would do anything to win the guy.

My Korean Drama List

Lee Seung Gi and Shin Min Ah in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho

This is my crowning achievement. It is the list of Korean dramas that I have watched or am watching. The VVIP list is in order of my love for them while the other lists are in no particular order. These dramas are all Korean unless noted otherwise, and the shows with X I have watched more than once. Of course this is a work in progress, so please stayed tuned. My list of things I'm currently watching is basically shows that I have started and want to finish. I also listed the dramas I want to watch in the future at the bottom.
