    Asian Dramas.

    Don't we love them? XD (If you don't, you probably shouldn't in this thread. UNLESS, you're willing to give them a try.

    I've watched quite a few. I favour Taiwanese/Japanese Dramas over Korean ones, because the language just sounds more familiar to me. sweatdrop Here's a pretty long list of the ones I consider to be the best out there.

    (In no particular order)

    One Litre of Tears - A Japanese drama that revolves around a 15 year old girl named Aya, newly diagnosed with Spinocerebellum atrophy.
    *I really liked this series, even though it was so incredibly sad at times. One litre of tears indeed...*

    MARS - Quiet girl, loud, lusted-for boy; who would've thought they'd be drawn to each other? Ling, with a life haunted by the death of his twin brother, tries to throw it off by being reckless and flirtatious with women. Qi Luo is more or less the complete opposite, nearly anti-social, and scarred by an occurrence in her past.
    *Go google this one...I write horrible mini summaries. -___- I make things sound horrible. Honestly, it's worth checking out.*

    PRIDE - Aki is a 'woman of the last century', stuck waiting for a lover who went away but promised to return. Halu is a womanizer, not to mention a star hockey player, but once he sets his gaze on Aki, there's no going back. To suit each of their situations, they turn their relationship into a game, but unknowingly, it develops deeper...and suddenly, Aki's lover returns into the scene.
    *There's quite a few hockey games, but plenty of romance and quite heart wrenching at times. Definitely worth a watch, even if you don't like hockey. =P*

    It Started With a Kiss - To be honest, I don't remember too much about this one. It was cute, humorous and of course, there was romance. Google it for the plot...

    Devil Beside You - Wild guy, unwilling (at first) girl, jealous girl, typical athletic 'star' boy...Google it. I thought it was alright, but the humor was a bit off, and I didn't like Rainie's acting.

    Hana Kimi - Rei Xi attends an all boys academy in disguise in order to attend the same school as the high jumper she saw on tv, whom she instantly admired.
    *The last drama I watched, and instantly one of my favourites. Ella's acting was a bit like Rainie's, but I found that I didn't mind it...maybe because it was Ella? I just loved the series because of the chemistry between her character and Wu Zun's.*

    Silence
    Lavendar
    Meteor Garden I & II
    Hana Yori Dango
    Love Contract
    Goong

    Those are all the ones I've watched.
    My favourites have descriptions of the general plot.

    Feel free to suggest some!

    Thinking of seeing:
    ~One Fine Day - Korean Drama
    ~Over The Rainbow - Korean Drama
    ~Smiling Pasta - Taiwanese Drama
    ~The Imperial Household S (Goong S)

=D Yay Asian dramas! I watch them when I can with my mom and aunt. ^^;;;

I mostly only watched Korean Dramas because my uncle owns a video shop full of 'em and that's all I can understand.
sweatdrop

I don't really remember any of the names but I remember that they were good, mostly romances. On top of that, I wouldn't know how to translate them, I'm horrible at that. xD;;

I've seen lots but I'd only be able to suggest them to you if I remembered any of them.

    I liked Devil Beside You too, but I agree with you on Rainie's and Ella's acting (I watched the first episode of Hana-kimi). They overdid it. D:

    Actually, DBY was the only drama I watched in full. ^^;

    I might watch Goong too. ><

Okay... sweatdrop I'm new to this guild and am trying to make friends. I have only ever watched Japanese dramas before. The only ones I've seen were Gokusen I and II, and Nobuta wo Produce. They were cute and humorous, but Nobuta wo Produce had more drama, if you ask me. They were really good. ^_^ My sister has quite a long list of ones she's going to buy, and I believe One Litre of Tears is on the list. ^^

I've never seen one...

I want to see One Litre of Tears. >>; I was also thinking of looking into Meteor Garden.

I want to see Yuuki really badly. (Yuuki ~ Sekai de Hachibanme no Tatakai ni Katta Otoko no Monogatari). It looks so sad.

I've only ever seen Gokusen and Nobuta wo Produce, like Candycane Scartissue.

But erm, me being a JE fan, I want to see like all Japanese dramas with any of those boyband members in them. xD

I wouldn't mind seeing some Korean dramas.
