Day 30: Favorite Drama
And with this post, this blog challenge is finally complete! Hopefully I was able to introduce you to some dramas you’ve never heard about! And trust me, there’s actually a lot more where that came from. You can find the rest of the posts in this series through this tag here. Master list coming soon……

Day 29: Favorite Ending
I’ve never watched an ending I’ve completely loved, and I’m usually left feeling like there was something missing or could have been left out to avoid ruining an otherwise flawless run. Maruyama Ryuhei was one of those Johnny’s I didn’t know I liked until I watched Strawberry Night and finally, “Boys on the Run” (TV…

Day 28: Most Annoying Character
Choi Jin-chul is just the kind of mustache twirling villain I don’t need in dramas or my life. It’s difficult for me to pinpoint specific reasons as to why Choi is so terrible, aside from being a smarmy, manipulative, and greedy SOB. He was my least favorite part of “Nine: Nine Times Travel” (tvN /…

Day 27: Favorite Comedy
If you’re following along with this blog challenge, then I hope you’ve made good and watched my suggestion for Best Concept! If you have, then rejoice in the fact that the director of that series came back this year with “Aoi Honoo” (TV Tokyo / 2014), which is a love song for anyone who has…

Day 26: Favorite Cast
It wasn’t a drama very big on story, but what made “Let’s Eat” (tvN / 2013-2014) a winner for me were the characters, natch. There’s something really appealing about each of the “living single”/officetel tenants living their lives as normally as possible, without any of the typical k-drama histrionics. Because it was so down-to-earth and…

Day 25: Best Villain
From my viewing experience, villains are two dimensional and just meddlesome. They don’t serve any purpose other than being annoying at what they do and thwarting the hero in any annoying way possible. Min Joon-gook (“I Hear Your Voice”, SBS / 2013), however, is a name that strikes fear into the hearts of many —…

Day 24: Favorite Couple
I first heard about “Queen In-hyun’s Man” (tvN / 2012) soon after it had ended, when Ji Hyun-woo (Kim Boong-do) admitted in front of everybody, AT A PRESS CONFERENCE, that he had fallen in love with his co-star, Yoo In-na (Choi Hee-jin). I mean !!!! but then they started dating, he went off to military…

Day 23: Favorite Kiss
(Well, where there’s a worst kiss, there’s a best kiss!) Gong-shil (Gong Hyo-jin) is able to see ghosts and on occasion, they’re able to take possession of her. In episode 9 of “Master’s Sun” (SBS / 2013), the dead wife of a famous pianist clues into the fact that Gong-shil likes Joong-won (So Ji-sub), her…

Day 22: Favorite Romance Drama
“Secret Love Affair” (JTBC / 2014) was unlike any romance drama I’ve ever watched. The age gap is no joke (twenty! years!), but I like to think I’ve been steadily preparing myself all year by watching a ton of dramas with younger men and older women involved in romances, haha. Let’s Eat, I Need Romance…

Day 21: Favorite Title Sequence
Naturally the show with the best concept would have one of the best openers!
