I'm currently finishing up the k-drama Flower Boy Ramyun Shop.
It has 16 episodes and the last episode finished airing this week (yesterday).
And I'm still waiting for the last episode to be subbed before I finish the series. :)
The great thing about this drama is that it's actually unpredictable.
I mean, there are lots of those romantic comedies these days that are kinda similar to Boys Over Flowers with one girl surrounded by all these pretty boys. However this series has yet to piss me off or make me find any of the characters annoyingly mopey. Well, I did think the main female char was really really embarrassing in the beginning, but she had a change of character really fast. XD Anyways, this series is worth checking out because there are plenty of hilarious moments as well as times when your heart melts. Something like that.. or it's just me.. Actually, instead of getting annoyed at a mopey char, I'm really annoyed with the actress of So Yi. I find her unable to act.. Idk who she is, but I can't stand her acting.... next!
A drama I've been following since it first started is High Kick Through the Roof 3: Revenge of the Short-Legged. As of now, I'm not sure what the title has to do with the series, but anyways! This show is hilarious. There are lots of character developments (well it has to since there are 120 episodes contracted), and every few episodes gives a chance for the different characters to have their life and stories be told. This sitcom runs about 25 minutes each episode, so it's fairly short. Each episode has a highlight, though, so there are always funny parts. There's one problem I've experienced while watching this series though, and that's the bad English subs. Some of the episodes online will have random, babbling subs that don't make sense when you try reading them. So there's no use to waste time, you'll get the gist though. The cast that star in this sitcom is also pretty notable. I'm not sure of every actor and actresses' names, but I think everyone is really good at acting. so much better than this one char from Ramyun Shop... (So Yi's actress really bugs me...) f(x)'s Krystal is also in this drama as the bratty and hot-tempered daughter of the main family. I'm really loving actress Park Ha Sun who plays the role of a kinda self-conscious high school teacher. However, In real life, she's a bold and fun person. I've seen her on shows and she seems like a really admirable person. Lastly, Lee Jong Suk plays the role of the lonewolf, stubborn older brother to Krystal and son of the main family. Ok I lied: Lastly, Kang Seung Yoon... contestant from one of the tons of music shows lately.. he's in this sitcom as a rich but pretty stupid guy. Love him. He's adorable with that accent~ The sitcom has tons of characters and it shows how everyone comes to know one another early on in the show. Worth watching when you want a good laugh. Little info: Each season of High Kick has a different storyline and cast. I haven't seen the previous seasons, but they were successful enough to be continued like this. To me, though, High Kick 3 is a must watch.
A J-drama I've currently been watching, and am just watching for the last few episodes to be subbed, is Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de which translates to (Save the Revealing for After Dinner(?) or somewhere around there. It stars Kitagawa Keiko (Sailor Mars, if you don't know her) and Sakurai Sho (Arashi). I've always been a fan of Kitagawa Keiko and I've some of her other works. I've never paid any attention to Sakurai Sho's discog, though, but the only thing I've seen where he starred in was the live action movie adaptation of Honey and Clover. I dunno, I didn't think he was cute or anything. However, in this drama, there are closeups of his face, and this is when I appreciated that he had a baby face, somewhat. This is a mystery genre drama and has some comedic parts in it, though most of it seems to be inside jokes. It's a high rating drama because it is the live action/based off of a popular detective novel. I'm so into detective stuff that I'm wanting to watch that Raven movie that'll come out next year.. even though it's gorey.
