I'm just an ordinary man who loves to watch asian dramas and movies.
I started watching, though occasionally at first, during the Meteor Garden craze in the Philippines in 2002. And finally in 2011, i got to regularly watch dramas- korean ones, mostly because my households members are crazy about it. So now, whenever i'm off work i marathon those dramas/movies available at home. Sometimes i also stream in the net.
Genres i prefer:
Rom-com >>> Most Filipino soap operas/dramas are melo with too much crying, violence and expected endings. I got tired of it, that's why I prefer korean or other asian drama/movie. They are cute. If it's a comedy it really is funny. And the melo ones really makes me cry, i get easily carried away with the emotions in a certain movie or drama i watch. And also, I cry a lot.
Saguek >>>> Unlike most men (probably) who watch epic/sageuks because of its fight scenes, I on the other hand, prefer the themes to be romance or has a revenge plot in it.
Here is the list of my favorite actors:
1. Jang Geun Seuk >>> the perfect picture of a flower boy. Here in PH, i call him Mr. Pogi. He is also multitalented- he can sing and act. His drama Marry Stayed All Night is on my #1 drama list.
2. Lee Sun Gyun and Kang Ji-Hwan >>> They are very good actors. They have inherent charms that they don't have to try being "cute" or good looking. Or shall I say, they don't have "idol" images but can make the viewers really love them on screen. I like Pasta and Lie to Me because of their performance.
3. Lee Seun Gi >>>> For me, he is just an average looking person but there's a certain charm in him that while watching him on screen for a long time, you will learn to like him. He is also a versatile actor. A very good one. I like his performance in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and The King 2 Hearts.
4-6. Park Min Young, Kim Tae Hee and Ha Ji Won >>>> They are very pretty and very good actors.
