Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

Sailor Moon is the very first anime I've watched when I was 9 years old and now there's live action. Oh, yes! I was surprised myself when I found this one. It felt like watching an all female version of Power Rangers in swimsuit-like outfits. Can you imagine how these young girls will do the fight scenes? I've seen it and it made me smile because it's ballet.

You may find this a little cheesy because it's not your typical live action series but the manga and anime is cheesier so I think it's meant to be cheesy (^^,).

This show really is a young girl's dream come true. I mean, who have watched the anime version when they were young and didn't dream of becoming a Sailor Soldier... :)

Playful Kiss ( Mischievous Kiss )

I watched the Taiwanese version before ( It Started with a Kiss and They Kiss Again)  and I loved it so now, I'm watching this too. I just can't get enough of this story.


This is typical for some high school love story. I think the only exaggeration is when their was house was destroyed by a 2.0 magnitude earthquake. The only thing that made this a little special is the girl's effort to pursue her unrequited love ( or crush ) to an intelligent high school boy who hates for being less intelligent than he is. Actually, her character is highly stupid it's so cute and sweet (^^,).

Personally, I still prefer the Taiwanese version (except for the wedding part) because the girl is more convincingly stupid than in the Korean version. I also find the actors who played in this series to be obviously older than they portray until they reached college.

All in all, I still find the story as enjoyable as the original manga and Taiwanese series with Korea's personal touch.

Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend)

Totally not your average dose of drama. This made me laugh all throughout the series and cry in the end. The tension is too much I finished it in one day. I even broke my rule and peeped on the comments bar to see what's next. (^^,). The ending is sweet and sad though. So far, this is my favorite.

A company offered Izawa Riiko to find her perfect mate. Thinking that it would be just another matchmaking company, she entered into the contract and found herself living with an appliance programmed to be her ideal boyfriend.

Surprisingly, Night became more than what he was made for. Night acquired a mind of his own and developed human emotions more than his microchip can download.

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho

When I watched the first episode, I wasn't convinced that this will be an interesting story. A spoiled brat for a leading man is too typical for Asian dramas. The progress is a little slow but after watching a few more episodes, it started to entertain me.

If you're the type of viewer who doesn't like peeking on comments and watching the last episode before you finish the others, you might feel a little sad in the middle of the story. You might even draw your own conclusion about how it'll end, be convinced that's how it's going to end and feel sadder about it.

Then again, don't forget this is a story of a mythical nine tailed fox who dreams to become human. Anything is possible to happen and it may just be something you wouldn't expect.
