Coffee Prince <3

I second this. By far the best k-drama, asian drama, any drama in existence.

I also rather liked Sweet 18. It's silly, but pretty entertaining.

Every other k-drama I've tried drove me insane with melodrama (although there is a bit in those two mentioned, I found it manageable). I sort of fell in love with Yoon Eun Hye after watching Coffee Prince, and actually watched Goong just because she was in it. It was horrible. shudder

Yeah there is always some melodrama (aaah the scene in hospital.... which drama don't have one lol)
But generally there isn't that much when it's comedy/romance drama, except maybe in the episode 13 to 16 (generally the guy fall in love at episode 5~7, and the girl start too feel the same around episode 12, so to fill the lasts episodes, they need a bit some melo xD)

but i would recommend you to try at least Sungkyunkwan Scandal or The Vineyard Man, those don't have melodrama if i remember well 😛

I like The Great Queen Seon Deok too, but here by us they cut out some scenes 🙁

Coffee Prince is good but youre beautiful is better!

whoaah there are so many great kdramas
a lot have already been named, I think these haven't yet :
these aren't as great as: you're beautiful or boys before flowers
but also okay 😀

-personal preference
-prosecutor princess

and there is one I also like, but isn't very famous or anything 😛
the woman who still wants to marry (but more a girldrama (and actually for older but somehow I still liked it haha))

I'm white, but I enjoy my korean pop culture. (;

KPOP:
Male:
2PM
DBSK
SHINee
Super Junior
Female:
T-ara
Girls Generation

Dramas:
Shining Inheritence is my fav. <3

K-Pop
Would really recomend SHINee but there's TVXQ!, 2pm, 2am, JYJ, Super Junior, Big Bang, TRAX
Then for girl singers Girl's Generation, 2NE1, f(x), T-ara, Brown Eyed Girls, KARA, IU, Wonder Girls, 4 minute

I'm a k-pop fan... I trying to get into k-drama. Most K-pop artists that are part the YG Family is what I mainly listen to. However, I also listen to DBSK, Infinite, OneWay, Rain, wonder girls, SHINee, 2PM, MBLAQ...etc.

KPop -> NO... Just, NO. (don't like showbiz, don't like idols, don't like the 'look at me!' (visual kei) kind of people)
I just don't like (most) Asian 'pop' music... or pop from any other country 😛 . I mostly listen to music that I simply enjoy, country of origin and labels are irrelevant. I tend to avoid music that is overly hyped or made with the clear intention of making money. That said, I'm not all that familiar with the S. Korean music industry. I know Japan is very active in the 'Classic' world, and have allot of music from there, but just can't think of any S. Korean artists.

KDrama -> Definitely yes. In my opinion S. Korea is the current leader in good quality television shows (as in series). Sure, American TV shows generally have allot more action and has a higher tempo, but is seriously lacking in terms of decent story (which I consider more important).
I'm not saying all is bad, S. Korea also has drama that shouldn't have seen the light of day, it's just personal preference often influenced by my mood.
The KDrama I've watched (quite a few) were in general light (as in not depressing) and just the right amount of funny not to become annoying or make the cast look stupid. Even historical drama is very easy to watch for those without proper background knowledge of that era (I'm dutch).

No. No one here listens k-poop. Shush, go away you foolish person.

i love k-pop songs. my favorite is super junior.

You couldn't be more right.

Obviously the majority of k-dramas tend towards the melodrama and tears overload, my first of which was Stairway To Heaven (my mum loves it to bits -_-). Some of the ones with mainstream success like Boys Over Flowers and Goong I just cannot appreciate nor can I comprehend why it has reached the overwhelming popularity it has. I guess our tastes do differ. The ones I do like are Coffee Prince and My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho.

As for K-music, I listen to:

• Epik High
• Wheesung
• Loveholic
• Bye Bye Sea
• One Way
• Big Bang
• SHINee

🤣
buy the dvd?

I love korean's historical drama, (just finish watching The Restless - Kim Tae Hee), not a fan of the modern drama.. except watching the bishies... like kim bum.
See here for recent series.
For singer i like Rain (for his dance>>sexy), and DBSK (After they sang One Piece's Share The World, Break Out, etc all in Japanese).
