Goong (Palace)...concluded

After watching this series in VCD, all i could say that it's really one of the best k series ever made...excellent set design, interesting plot, gorgeous characters and totally cool concept on constitutional monarchy.

It's a fairy tale love story, alright...but it was classically made! This series has the best on screen kissing scene I've ever seen...passionate and sooo real.

Rumors on the reel & real romance of the series' couple made this much more intriguing that made people anticipating on the second season of this drama.

Hana Yori Dango - Live Action

It's my first attempt in watching a jdorama, and good thing it didn't disappoint me at all. I could say that's it's totally different with Meteor Garden but the plot's almost the same. The Japanese version is much lighter and shorter.

Here's the synopsis of the jdorama from DramaWiki:

Tsukushi is a new student at Eitoku Gakuen - an exclusive school attended by rich families' children. Being poor, she is always bullied and sabotaged by her schoolmates. Things become worse when she crosses the path of F4 (a group comprises of the 4 richest guys). And along the way, she makes friend with Rui, a person who has helped her often, and falls in love with him. Shortly after, her head rival, Tsukasa, also reveals that he likes her. This turn-around situation puts Tsukushi in a very difficult position as she doesn't know what to do.
