Ssaeracadabra 2016 Korean Drama Favorites

I got lazy these days so, I decided to have short reviews for my watched drama in one page instead of making them one by one. Editing this page throughout the year after I finish watching each drama.

If you know any drama that is worth to watch, please share it on comment section. I would really watched it. Cheers to my fellow K-drama Addicts! :)

1. War of the Son

I am so excited to see this drama because of Yoo Seung Ho. Gosh! How I missed him seeing on my screen. He really is one of the best Korean actors I have known, like he can pull any character and portrait them passionately. So much about him, let's get back the drama. This is a melodrama so if you are looking tear jerky drama, this one is a worth to watch. (Though, I did not shed a tear on this but my friends did). It's really painful to watch the struggle of the Father and Son. But at least they got the justice they want. And oh, the hot-villain-with-anger-management-issue here is very irritating, it was such a pity that he committed suicide at the end.

For this: 5/5 stars

2. I Remember You

I know this was released last year but only had the time to watched it early this year. And Boy! I was so kilig the whole time watching Seo In Guk here. Hahaha... Those lips, and those eyes... Oh Boy.... Haha..
Anyway, the drama as a whole was worth to watch, I enjoyed the plot twists. It's just so weird for me how he can't identify his own brother earlier. But then, I guess it is where the story come from. Trust me, if you decide to watch this, you will enjoy the suspense in finding his brother.

For this: 4.8/5 stars

3.  Six Flying Dragons

I and my friend watch this because of Yoo Ah In. For us Yoo Ah In is one of the most capable actors in K-Drama world. Though this drama was lengthy with 50 episodes, it was still worth the time watching it. The story is more focused on political issues and ambitions rather than the romance. If you are looking for romantic comedy or kilig moments, I think this is not the one as this one is more on serious types. But as for us, it was worth watching issues after issues until the Lee Bang Won became the King. I find Sambong annoying when he gain power. Lee Ban Ji's life was so boring and tragic. Moo Hyul was very attractive, probably because of his loyalty to his master. As for Boon Yi and Lee Bang Won, though they did not end up marrying each other, but I think they lived a fulfilled but lonely life. It was a great drama.

For this: 5/5 stars

4. Descendants of the Sun

Joong Ki, I missed you! The last time I saw on my screen was on the werewolf boy. I hope to more of your dramas and movies in the future.

Anyways, this drama may have won several awards from us. Bests couple, most kilig, bests 2nd couple, most talked drama among my friends,  and everything else. Even on the first episode, my heart was already palpitating because of the kiligness. We just can't get over yet. I think, so far this year, this is the only drama that has let me laugh, fall in love and cry. I can't even remember when was the last i cried for a drama. Probably because it is related with medical life, that I can really understand the situation. Ahhhh.. I don't know. I just can't describe how delighted I am watching this drama. I not writing what the drama is about but I assure you that if you watch this, you will really enjoy it!

As far as I know, it is the same writer that has brought us Secret Garden and The Heirs. So if you have watched and liked both, I am really sure, you will enjoy DOTS!

For this: 5/5 stars and 5/5 hearts :)


5. Come Back, Mister

So if you are into light but entertaining drama, this one is recommended. The first few episodes were really enjoyable that made me decide to watch this till the end. I think Rain is more natural on this type of portrayals. Also, I feel in love with Oh Yeon Seo’s pretty little face. She’s really awkward but I enjoyed watching her on this drama. The story is quite unique for me, the twist were good, and the actors were all great. Overall, this drama was well worth my time.

For this: 4.5/5 stars

6. Entertainer

We decided to watch this because of Min Hyuk. Haha. Aside from that my friend also told me that it was a good drama. I find this story with so many complications but glad to see that at the end of the drama, everyone had an ending they deserve. Everyone did a good job on here though. However, I hate Hyeri’s character here. :) The story line is not my type but if you are into complicated drama, this could be perfect for you to watch.

For this: 4/5 stars

7. Beautiful Gong Shim

credits to wikipedia

I hated Nam Goong Min on War of the Son. I really hated his character in that drama that is why watching this drama is kinda awkward at the first few episode. I was also moved by his portrayal on the Doctors episode and damn, he can make me cry. It just proves that Nam Goong Min is a versatile actor. Minah is also funny. I find her weird in this drama though. This is just a light drama with no heavy conflicts. I liked it that way.

For this: 4.5/5 stars

8. Mirror of the Witch

credits to wikipedia

When I see Yoon Shi Yoon, I am always reminded with Baker King. He was really good at that one. Kim Sae-Ron here was emotionless. Her facial expression is all the same. I am not sure if I was convinced but I just can't feel any emotion on her. Maybe because of her character? Also, I hated the ending. hihi!

For this: 4/5 stars 

8. Doctors

credits to wikipedia

I must admit, the first 2 episodes was a bang! Because of Shin Ye's action scene, I was excited of this drama. I think this is the first drama I saw where Shin Ye's is a grown up. It was refreshing. Kim Raewon is cute too. It's been a while since the last time saw him on my screen. I always like his movies. And, he's cuter now. Hahah. Yoon Kyun-sang was also great in here. I still have a hangover with him being Mo Hyul, it's quite refreshing seeing him in doctor's gown. A mature love story everyone will surely love.

For this: 4.8/5 stars

9. Let's Fight Ghost

credits to wikipedia

This is fun given that I enjoy watching fight scenes. I like how they twist that Hyun Ji was actually a soul and not a ghost no wonder why was beautiful compared to other ghost and they had a happy ending. Park Bong Pal was great on this drama and the antagonist Joo Hye-sung was portrayed very well. Even his eyes looks really scary on screen. Over all, this drama was really worth to watch and was never boring to me.

For this: 4.9/5 stars

10. Cinderella and Four Knights

credits to wikipedia

I am not really sure if I did enjoy watching this last night. There are episodes that really got me bored. The Knights were really great for their character but I am not sure about the Cinderella. The story was typical but good thing it doesn’t have too much evil antagonist on it. For me, the love story between the characters are way too complicated.  

For this: 3.8/5 Stars

11. W

This is quite amusing to watch for me. The girl lead is just so cute. Anyways, it's a great story here. I love the twist and conflicts are good.

 For this: 5/5 Stars

12. Love in the Moonlight

credits to wikipedia

Kim Yoo Jung is such a pretty lady now. The drama was really sweet but I specifically liked how friendship is really strong in this one. This is not as heavy as how other sageuk drama usually do but I like it really. Though I cried a bit when Yoon Sung died. That was painful to watch.

For this: 4.9/5 Stars

13. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

credits to wikipedia

It's been a while since Queen Seon Deok that I cried so much for a drama. This probably is the most heart wrenching drama love story I have watched this year. It’s like I cried in every dying prince scene. I hate it but it only shows how great this drama that it gives the feels to its viewers. I hated the ending though that is how a great Korean drama usually ends. I cried a bucket in last episode, it really hurts seeing the King resent Lady Hae Soo because of misunderstanding. Wang So was really patient in with his love for Hae Soo, though he became the King and can have almost everything except the one that He really loves the most. If only I can get into the screen and comfort the King. Hahaha! Well… Everyone did a really great in this one!! 

For this: 5.5/5 Stars 

14.  Uncontrollably Fond

credits to wikipedia

Melodrama, the ones that will leave you with a broken heart and a bunch of tissue at the end. Even the effects/settings makes you feel so lonely. Kim Won Bin was really painful to watch every time he has headache attacks. And Suzy is so annoying every time she screams but dang, how adorable she is when she does aegyo acts and so pretty when she's dolled up. But still I think her acting still needs more practice and more practice, I can't feel any connection with her character when on a serious scenes. Everyone else also did a great job in this drama. Shin Joon-young life is so pitiful that I just hope they made his relationship with her mom not that ill, at least they can have a quality time instead off hating her son that much.

For this: 3.8/5 Stars   

15. The K2

A round of applause for this drama. It was very well done. My heart is racing on every episode thinking what will happen next. And I so love their fist fights. Yoona's acting I think has improved, the character really suits her well. Chang Wook was really cool in this one. Action drama really suits him well. And Song Yoona, damn her character, I might hate her for a while. Hahaha.. She was so pretty. How can a she be so sweet and be evil but still remain classy even at her last moments. Everyone else was really convincing. The ending was also satisfying. No hangovers. I could watch this all over again, I just love the thrill I feel while watching this.. :)
