Most Filipinos are fond of watching soap operas because it mostly depicts rugged-to-riches stories, but in my case I prefer to watch Korean dramas. Specifically, I like romcom dramas because of its humor, lightness and “kilig” factor. And not mention the cute Korean actors who could melt my heart and the bubbly Korean actresses whom I wanted to be. What I like the most about these dramas is its short and uncomplicated stories. Mostly, it has 16 episodes, few characters and the storyline is not dragging. I’ve known a lot of friends who are crazy about Korean dramas, and my dear cousin (Thea) is one of them. I’ve listed some dramas I’ve watched .
- Lover’s in Paris (from www.koreandrama.org)
Tae Young lives in Paris and is working on a screenplay. She meets Gi Ju while working at a friend’s stall and Soo Hyuk, when her bicycle breaks down. Soo Hyuk and Tae young become friends. Gi Ju asks her to act as his fiance for work reasons. Things go badly and everyone returns to Korea. Back in Korea Tae Young, Gi Ju and Soo Hyuk begin to develop friendships with Tae Young and end up feeling more feelings towards her than they initially thought. However, Gi Ju is Soo Hyuk’s uncle and they had grown up like best friends since they were only about 7 years apart. Their feelings towards her slowly begin to be revealed causing heartache for all the people around them.
This is the first Korean drama I’ve watched religiously on tv. My mother liked this drama because she had a crush on the main actor.
- My Girl (from www.koreandrama.org)
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?
I remembered watching this drama several times with my cousin Thea. I even bought a DVD so we could watch it over and over again.
- Lie to me (from www.koreandrama.org)
Gong Ah Jung, a level 5 Ministry of Culture official, gets entangled in a web of lies when she mistakenly lies that she’s married to Hyun Ki Joon, a hotel manager from an affluent family. Their relationship is further complicated when Ki Joon’s ex-fiancée and a close friend of his brother’s, Oh Yoon Joo, reappears in his life.
I’ve come to know this drama from a friend’s link in fb. I am a fan of the main actress and the story is quite interesting.
- Protect the Boss (from www.koreandrama.org)
No Eun Seol finally gets a job as a secretary at a law firm after struggling with unemployment, only to fall in love with her boss, Cha Ji Heon, the immature youngest son of a chaebol family.
I am not familiar with the actors and actresses but when I watched the trailer I was entertained. But I haven’t finished watching the full episode since I got busy. I will find some time soon.
My Little Korean Girl
Recently, my daughter won Miss UN in their school. Because of my fascination with Korean dramas and my husband and I have a lot of Korean friends, we let her wore a Korean traditional costume called “hanbok”. And she looked so cute on it J
