Sons of Sol Pharmacy, My Too Perfect Sons
A hilariously funny family comedy centered on a family with four unmarried sons, with the oldest being 40 (by Korean age) and the youngest being a high schooler who failed his college examinations. Perfectly cast and great fun.
Queen Seon Dok
A historical saga about the first female ruler of the Shilla empire (one of three kingdoms that unified to make the current Korea). Fast paced with good war action and lots of political intrigue. If you want an intense historical drama, this is it.
The Return of Iljimae
Another historical drama. Based on a famous Korean graphic novel, Iljimae is about a young man who has learned martial arts in Korea, China and Japan and uses his skills to steal from the corrupt rich in Korea to give to the poor. Although there's action in each episode, this is radically different from Queen Seon Dok as there is no political intrigue. Additionally, while there is a storyline about Iljimae's life continues throughout the series, this series has more of an episodic feel. Lighter fare that's pleasant.
I Love You, Don't Cry
I tried to keep with this...but I couldn't. Oh, the drama...talk about overboard and forced plotline. A waste of time.
I will elaborate further on all four in future postings.
