Favorite South Korean Variety Shows

Below is a list of some of the South-Korean variety shows that I enjoy watching.

1. Running Man

2. Happy Together

3. Star King

4. Strong Heart

Autumn In My Heart

I finally finished this painful, dragging, and hard to watch drama. Whoever said that this drama was better than Winter Sonata is 100% wrong and it's not true. This drama was way worse than I could have ever imagined and it definitely doesn't deserve all of the praise that it gets. The only thing going for this drama is the soundtrack honestly. I usually don't have any trouble getting through a k-drama, but when it came to this one I did, but at least I did finish it in the long run unlike the horrible k-drama Mary Stayed Out All Night. At first, this drama lures you in with what promises to be a intricate and interesting story, but as you continue watching it you soon find out that's not the case.

Verdict

Steer clear from this drama and don't waste any of your time watching it and save yourself the trouble. 

Score: 5.0

Winter Sonata

Contains SPOILERS!!!

I finally got around to watching one of the highly critically acclaimed k-dramas in history and I was not disappointed. I mean yeah, there was a lot of tears and crying and I think I've learned how to say I'm sorry in  Korean since you could practically make a montage of the multiple times the characters say that they're sorry in this drama. I can see why this drama is at the center of the Hallyu movement which is the spread of  Korean culture and entertainment. The story is heart-wrenching and moving and it even brought me to tears at the end, and I usually don't cry when I watch Asian dramas because it takes a lot for me to cry and in most Asian dramas it's been said and done before with there being a few exceptions. I really enjoyed watching this drama and even though it's 10+ years old it holds up really well.

The ost of this drama is superb and my top 3 favorite songs are: 

1. Only You - Ryu

2. From the Beginning Until Now - Ryu

3. My Memory - Ryu 

This drama really emphasizes how special your 1st love is and how painful it can be. The ending was great but I felt it was somewhat lacking and rather abrupt.

Score: 9.7
