 20 episodes; romantic/comedy

I have yet to see this drama, although I was recommended it by a friend. I plan on watching this drama and then keep a running update on how I feel throughout the show.  

Episode 1-3
So far, the drama is interesting. In the first three episodes, it introduces each of the characters and establishes the role they play in the drama. First of all, there are the four male best friends. Although the drama claims to be about the four of them, in the first three episodes, it does not seem that way. The drama seems to be more focused on a single male character, Kim Do Jin. With the other three as side stories and entertainment. So far, it is focusing on his chase of the woman Seo Yi Soo, who is secretly in love with Kim Do Jin's friend Im Tae San. Seo Yi Soo's friend also happens to be going out with Im Tae San. And there we have it, the love triangle.

It is entertaining when the four guys are all together and just hanging out and having guy talk, but the drama does not really focus on that which is a bummer. Instead it follows the life of Seo Yi Soo and all the complications that arise when she meets Kim Do Jin and he falls for her.

My Feelings
Gosh, I love this drama. Its just hilarious the whole time. I really enjoy the friendship and relationship between the 4 main male leads and that is why I can watch this drama again and again.

49 Days


Shin Ji Hyun was enjoying absolute bliss as she was about to marry her fiancé, Kang Min Ho, but her perfect life is shattered when she gets into a car accident that leaves her in a coma. She is given a second chance at life by a reaper, but it comes with a condition: she has to find three people outside of her family who would cry genuine tears for her. In order to do this, she borrows the body of Yi Kyung, a part-time employee at a convenience store for 49 days. -DramaWiki




20 episodes; fantasy/romance

Definitely something new in all the Korean dramas that I have seen around and I must say, I really did like this drama. The actors and actresses are amazing. Although it's been a while since I've seen this. All I remember is that I used to hate the main girl.

This drama shows the progression of a spoiled rich brat into a real person. What a great actress to be able to portray that. Nam Gyu Ri, the actress that plays Shin Ji Hyun really portrays the spoiled rich girl's introduction to the hardships of the real world and you can slowly see how she changes as she sees the hardships that she has never been faced with before.

 Another thing I remember from this drama is that the musical score is amazing. I love the background music for everything and I have the soundtrack in my iTunes.

I really recommend this drama to anyone. It was amazing and I would definitely watch it again.
