If you are a K-Drama lover I’m sure you’re looking what 2014 has to offer for you to enjoy your time in front of the screen.
What makes you watch K-dramas? Of course a drama should have a new interesting plot (preferably not the cliché repeated one), good writing and directing, and star casting. I think the actors can sell a drama depending on their performance as I’ve seen some pretty uninteresting dramas that hold you only because of the brilliant performance of the cast. For me thou personally the plot of the story and the starring cast are what I look for when I choose dramas. What about you? Here are new Korean Dramas of 2014:
Plot: A couple who got married during medical school despite the guy family’s strong opposition. But due to their clashing personalities they divorced soon afterwards. They are reunited six years later as interns at the ER in a hospital. Will love strike again for the two? Will they find the joy of the differences or will they clash again?
Noona Romance K Dramas That Will Sweep You Off Your Feet
My thoughts: If you are looking for a simple, a little silly romantic comedy to cheer you up I think this is your drama. The characters interactions, bickering are always made in a comic way that makes you chuckle. You may be familiar with the screenwriter Choi Yoon Jung who did Lie To Me (which if you haven’t watched you definitely should).
Plot: A time-slip drama about a mother who goes back fourteen days in time to save her daughter from being kidnapped and murdered. Can she find the killers and save her daughter’s life in time? How much would their lives change during that time?
My thoughts: This is the most thrilling drama I have watched in a long time. For the ones that love mystery and thriller it’s the perfect choice! The unfolding of the story and its twists will keep you on the edge and leave you craving for more, wanting to know what else will you discover along the way. From the PD Lee Dong Hoon who did “Protect the Boss” and screenwriter Choi Ran, who you may know from “Iljimae”. And when you add the cast (with the great addition of B1A4 Baro) – the drama is amazing. My favorite so far and really worth checking out.
K Dramas With Big Age Gaps Between The Romantic Leads
Plot: Three days can change the destiny of a country. The South Korean President goes missing during his vacation after three rounds of gun shots at his own villa. Han Tae Kyung (Park Yoochun) and his colleagues in the Blue House Secret Service pursue the case and try to save him. Political secrets, betrayals and machinations, can Tae Kyung beat the clock?
My thoughts: For the fans of dramas like “IRIS” this is a drama you may like. It’s exciting and action filled, and you can enjoy Yoochun‘s great performance. “Three Days” is a star cast filled drama and is written by Kim Eun Hee, who wrote “Phantom”, and directed by PD Shin Kyung Soo from “Deeply Rooted Tree”, or in other words – a high-quality drama with great action scenes.
2014 is starting strong in the Drama land. There is a great variety of different genres and story plots to choose, for everyone’s taste. Now if only there was enough free time to watch them all, but oh, well.

From the title, you would think this is an angst-filled melodrama. The typical Kdrama. Once in a while, it’s great to be proven wrong. And, in my case, to find a gem of a drama that will be firmly engraved on my virtual wall of “favorite dramas of all time”. In fact, if you are to ask me what Kdrama I would recommend anyone to watch, this would be the first thing I’d lay out on the table, no questions asked.

Prodigy who had to give up his dreams of going pro, Jang Geu-rae had been living a solitary existence that revolves around multiple part-time jobs and living with his mother. With only a GED, or a high school equivalency exam, he was forced out of his isolation and entered the corporate world, starting out as an intern at the the large trading company, One International. Here, he encounters obstacles and challenges, starting with the fact that he got in through connections more than qualifications. He plots his life in this corporate setting according to the rules of

This is the live-action adaptation of the hit webtoon of the same title, which has achieved cult status following in Korea when it was released.
. His life revolved around the game, with the hopes of becoming a professional player someday. But then several life-changing events happened, and that dream was no more. He went to the army early, got out, and lived a solitary life with his mother, juggling part-time jobs from morning to night. That is until, through an acquaintance’s recommendation, he got in as one of the interns at One International.
Here’s the thing: Geu-rae has no qualifications to speak of, and the fact that he only has a GED, has never gone to college, and got in through “connections”, rubbed the other interns and employees the wrong way. From the outset, the other interns give him a hard time, treating him as an outsider. He was assigned to Sales Team 3, and there he meets his immediate supervisor, the honest but sympathetic Dong-shik, and the hard-talking, blunt workaholic team leader, Chief Oh Sang-shik.
Korean Dramas List
I love ensemble casting. It’s good to see one or two stars, or four leads (as is usually seen in Kdramas, especially rom-coms and melodramas) in a drama, but to have a collective of characters can be quite challenging. This is where Misaeng excelled in.
An aside: funny how the guy (top right cap) annoyed me in this drama but totally made me adore him as Yong-gyun in “Emergency Couple”.
So good to see Im Si-wan growing as an actor. I think he had the right amount of sensitivity to play the character of Geu-rae. Gentle, yet with an underlying steel and strength of character. Personally, I admire how Geu-rae had a unique, different, and
K Drama Review: Bad Guys (ocn, 2014)
Personally, I’d say that this drama became solid because of Chief Oh. He was the glue that put it all together. The performance of the actor, Lee Sung-min, made his character jump right out of the screen and become real. He’s harsh, he’s blunt, he’s hardworking, and he’s a mentor. He’s the boss we all hope we could have, sharp tongue and all. Despite their rocky start, it was a relationship that was so beautiful to watch as it unfolded.
It was fun seeing the dynamics of Sales Team 3, even as they had to go through some “personnel” (and personal) changes. It’s so easy to see why Young-yi envied how “tight” they were. Like this scene where they don’t want to work on a “dubious” case, so they (well, mainly Chief Oh) had this brilliant idea of drinking expired milk to pretty much ruin their stomachs. What a hoot.
And what about the awkward friendship that developed among our intern-turned-newbies? They started out as individuals, but then became a cohesive unit, no matter how much they deny it.
Snowdrop' And 2 Other North South Korea Romance K Dramas
A drama with no evil mother-in-laws, personality or mental disorders, baby-switching, chaebol issues, revenge plots… Yes, despite these “shortcomings”, this is a Korean drama with a whole lot of heart and soul.
…or a female employee who has to swallow her pride and do what “inferior women” are supposed to be relegated to doing?
I found myself getting hooked as the drama progressed. The comedic aspects are just so perfectly placed, I find myself sniggering at many parts.
Family: The Unbreakable Bond
If you’ve had a taste of any corporate setting, or any office, for that matter, you’d recognize so many of the circumstances presented in this drama. Granted, I wouldn’t call
But the same issues are present. Office politics is rampant everywhere, and the way it was presented in this drama was so realistic.
We all see some of ourselves in Geu-rae and his quiet struggles as he tries his best to survive in the harsh corporate waters.

Or in Chief Oh as he has to swim in those waters as part of middle-management without getting his head – and ass – bitten off by corporate sharks.
Or in the ambitious Baek-ki, who has to learn the true meaning and value of humility. Especially later, when he had to deal with petty jealousy. Mainly within him.
Or Seok-yul who was holding on to every bit of his sanity and identity even as the odds are against him. He’s my third favorite character after Chief Oh and Geu-rae.
