It was legendary drama of 2012.

Agreed chingu. I wish we could include that. We had to drop some really amazing dramas as we were constrained by technical limitations.

 

I am a new fan of Joo Won. I recently watched Good Doctor and thought he was amazing. He aced it. Just sheer perfection on his part.  What drama of  Joo Won do you recommend next?

   1. How did you start watching K-dramas?
 For me it was a rabbit hole, I fell in love with the anime Fushsigi Yugi which led me to Absolute Boyfriend. When I read that there was a live Jdrama made from that manga I had to watch it. After that I wound up finding Hana Yori Dango and then wound up watching Boys Over Flowers, then I went on to watch Coffee Prince, and Goong, and then I was kind of hooked on them.

 

 2. Was there a specific K-drama that made you stay?
Coffee Prince, and Goong.

 

3. Which 3-5 K-dramas are the best dramas you've ever watched?
Secret Garden *love me some Hyun Bin*
Coffee Prince
The Moon That Embraces The Sun
Jealousy Incarnate
The Greatest Love

 

 4. Why would you recommend K-dramas to others who know nothing about them?</b>
Honestly they are an escape, and alot better than what American tv has to offer.

 

 5. What do K-dramas mean to you?
I got sick in 2016 and I was bed ridden and wound up in the hospital for over a month. From around Jan. 2016, until Nov. 2017 I really couldn't even sit at a desk to watch my shows. I found myself so incredibly sad and lost. They were my escape and my enjoyment. I loved the stories and actors. It was my happy place. I wound up after having a stroke having a hard time to read books anymore, and I found that watching a drama helped me to rebuild my reading. Like I said my dramas were my happy place. So my Kdramas / Cdramas are what always make me smile and feel at peace.

 

6. Which K-drama you cannot stop yourself from re-watching?
Really depends on my mood.

  Have you watched Autumn's Concerto? That's my most favourite TW drama that I have watched innumerable times already. I think it was just PERFECT!

 Chingu, I hope you are doing better now. So glad K-dramas could give you the comfort you needed. I feel Kdramas are like chicken soup to sooth the soul. After a long hectic day at work, you just want to put your feet up and get lost in the world of chaebols / two handsome men fighting over a beautiful woman.
