Korean Dramas

Full reviews here: http://www.still-frames.net/koreandrama/reviewsheets.html

• Autumn Tale - all the typical melodramatic drivel.
• Couple of Fantasy - great in concept, mediocre in execution.
• Dal Ja's Spring - uneven pacing, but a heartwarming love story.
• Delightful Girl Choon Hyang - the definitive "jump the shark" drama.
• Fog Street - b.o.r.i.n.g.
• Goong - overrated and shallow.
• Hello! Miss - only mildly entertaining, completely forgettable.
• My Girl (SBS) - witty, charming, and wonderful, but damn that shark jumping.
• Over the Rainbow - weak storyline, bland characters.
• Soulmate - engaging and unique.
• Sweet 18 - sincere and sweet, still my favorite drama ever.
• Witch Amusement - certainly amusing, but written badly.

• Koizora - typical, but effective.
• Long Vacation - a veteran, and it shows.
• Meitantei Conan - nothing like a good mystery.
• Nobuta wo Produce - profoundly great.
• Oh! My Girl!! - so disappointingly vanilla.

Taiwanese Dramas

• Autumn's Concerto - Taiwanese shark jumping lives on.
• Bull Fighting - okay overall.
• Devil Beside You - very watchable, but the tangents are unecessary.
• Fated to Love You - swerved off track and wrecked in slow motion.
• Hi My Sweetheart - the usual Taiwanese curse: starts off great, then jumps the shark with more than a few ridiculous plot turns.
• Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu - great for the majority of the ride, but ended horribly.
• Miss No Good - feel good and satisfying.
