dangermousieoooh, a new drama season. Just a fair warning as to what I am likely to be watching/blabbing about. This does not include recently ended dramas like Lobbyist or Romantic Princess, of course, but includes dramas which are currently airing or about to start.
Will I end up keeping up with all of them? Heck no. But I will try.
JDRAMAS
What: 1 Pound No Fukuin (starting soon)
Who: Kamenashi Kazuya, Kuroki Meisa
About: Kame plays a boxer with an eating problem (yes, you read this right. Kame.) To quote wiki: "He finds himself facing a string of defeats due to his inability to control his appetite, which always puts him in a heavier weight class. One day after losing a match, he wanders into a church where he meets a naive, fledgling nun, and he immediately finds himself interested in her."
Why: You are kidding, right? It's Kame and the Nun. Based on a manga by the author of Inuyasha. This is going to be pure crack and is the jdrama I am most interested in. Plus, its publicity involves pics like this. Yes:
What: Binbou Danshi (starting soon)
Who: Oguri Shun, Yashima Norito
About: Oguri plays a poor but optimistic college student in this comical story. Because of his overly nice personality, he ends up taking on other people's debts and faces various challenges to pay off those debts.
Why: Oguri Shun, Oguri Shun, Oguri Shun, Oguri Shun!!!!!! I really couldn't care less what the drama is about. But Oguri Shun! As lead and getting the girl!!!
What: Honey and Clover (just started)
Who: Riko Narumi, Ikuta Toma
About: "Honey and Clover" follows the lives of five college students and their love triangles.
Why: I love college stories! I love love triangles and growing up and pretty Japanese pop stars acting or attempting to!
What: Yukinojo Henge (just started)
Who: Takizawa Hideaki, Toda Erika
About: Nakamura Yukinojo is an onnagata (one who plays female roles) in a kabuki troupe. When he discovers the man responsible for his parents' death, he plans for revenge with the help of a thief named Yamitaro. He plans to make the daughter of the man who is responsible for the killing of his parents, fall in love with him to get closer to her father.
Why: mmmm, Takki! And revenge! Though I am not sure if anyone is subbing this!
I don't have a pic from this drama, so here is a Takki pic instead:

KDRAMAS
What: Hong Gil Dong (currently airing)
Who: Kang Ji Hwan, Sung Yuri
About: Korea's take on its own Robin Hood legend, HGD follows the exploits of Gil Dong, more specifically how he became the dashing protector of the innocent and downtrodden from the completely useless guy at the beginning.
Why: KJH is my newest crush, I adore Sung Yuri, this is fast-paced and hilarious and tongue-in-cheek (but I am sure will make me cry at some point, all Hong Sisters dramas do). And has fighting and underwater kissing and other awesomeness. If there is one drama I will stick with this season, it's this one.
What: Robbers (currently airing)
Who: Lee Da Hae, Jang Hyuk
About: This is a love story between Kwon Oh Joon, a man whose only talent is to scam women of their money, and Jin Dal Rae, a bright and innocent single mother who lives with her daughter and mother-in-law. The two met by accident and both their lives change completely. Dal Rae never thought that she would ever fall in love with a scoundrel like Oh Joon; Oh Joon never thought that he would fall in love with his intended prey.
Why: I adore both leads, I am a sucker for stories about conmen conned by love. Really, come on, it sounds so like my thing!
What: Bad Love (currently airing)
Who: Kwon Sang Woo, Lee Yo Won, Kim Sung Soo
About: Our heroine falls in love with a man who lies to her and is actually married. On finding out the truth, the relationship ends. Some time later she meets and falls in love with the half-brother of her first love's wife, who is a rebellious artist/hot woobie.
Why: It's one of those deliciously 'traditional' kdramas, with love triangles, weeping, and star-crossed lurve. I am going to revel in the manpain and slow close-ups.
What: Iljimae (starts in March)
Who: Lee Jun Ki, Han Hyo Joo
About: A chivalrous bandit during the Joseon Dynasty robs corrupt government officials to feed the poor.
Why: You are kidding! It's Junki! Riding horses and fighting stuff! I'd watch it no matter what.
TWDRAMAS
What: Bull-Fighting (currently airing)
Who: Mike He, Hebe Tian, Lee Wei
About: A mob boss' willful daughter falls in love with the cold-hearted heir of a prominent business family.
Why: I have already started watching it, and it's funny, and cracktastic, and has enough h/c to kill a horse. I don't care for the heroine, but the two lead guys more than make up for it.
What: They Kiss Again (currently airing)
Who: Joe Cheng, Ariel Lin
About: Sequel to the mega-hit, It Started With A Kiss, TKA follows the romantic and funny misadventures of the now newlywed Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin. She is still silly, warmhearted and impulsive. He is still brainy and icy, but with a total weak spot for her.
Why: ISWAK was awesome and so far this is too: funny and shippy and adorable.
Will I end up keeping up with all of them? Heck no. But I will try.
