Stayed up to the wee hours of the morning just to see a few more episodes - out of 16, 20, 24, 54 - and maybe finish another disk - out of 8, 12, or more in the set? <BR/><BR/>I watched DVR recorded episodes of Dae Jang Geum during AZN's marathon last fall ('06). They ran 4-5 episodes every Saturday and Sunday for weeks! Talk about tying up your week-end! Hence, the new DVR! I watched the recorded episodes late at night to be ready for the next week-end!! <BR/><BR/>So, tell us....what dramas have you loved, gotten addicted to, stayed up till 4 or 5 a.m. to watch????<BR/><BR/>Posted by Sharon Allerson at 1:38 PM <BR/><BR/>Labels: Korean dramas discussion <BR/><BR/><BR/>4 comments: <BR/>antionne said...

You truly are an honorary Korean. :) <BR/><BR/>I love all Korean dramas, but my all-time favorite is the "Sandhour Glass." It was made in the early 90's and it was my first Korean drama I watched... I was in college back then, and believe me, instead of studying, I was hooked on those videos. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, Sharon, for all that you do...<BR/><BR/>October 3, 2007 1:07 PM <BR/>Sharon Allerson said... <BR/>Hi Yonah! I'm honored!!! I am so glad to be an honorary Korean! My life is enriched because of the people I've met and the things I've learned! Even if the poetry I posted on the blog is only so-so, it still shows that I've been inspired -- and Korean dramas opened a door to all that lovely inspiration! :-) <BR/><BR/>I will have to watch Sandhour Glass! Thank you for the recommendation! And thank you for your lovely comments! (I am really having fun blogging!)<BR/><BR/>October 3, 2007 11:13 PMSharon Allersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285676991648478047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162305012940196106.post-17740051831780051052007-10-02T13:59:00.000-07:002007-10-02T13:59:00.000-07:00Here's my response (copied from other blog:I agree...Here's my response (copied from other blog:<BR/><BR/>I agree with Antionne! I hardly watch any American television -- why bother? Korean dramas are what television should be like - engaging, touching, funny, intense -- I run out and buy the DVDs because I cannot wait for the next episode!! Addicted? Yes, happily so. I'm getting my friends hooked, too!<BR/><BR/>My only problem is that I had to find "My Lovely SamSoon" by accident. There should be better marketing: advertising on non-Asian stations, listings in TV schedules, co-productions with HBO. I hope Korean production companies realize the American audience is OK with subtitles and hungry for great stories!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Antionne, for getting the dialog started! --Sharon<BR/><BR/>October 1, 2007 10:55 PMSharon Allersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285676991648478047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162305012940196106.post-47931838021457099742007-10-02T13:57:00.000-07:002007-10-02T13:57:00.000-07:00With Antionne's permission, I copied his comment o...With Antionne's permission, I copied his comment on Korean dramas to the Hallyu Surfers' blog:<BR/><BR/>hey Sharon and everyone, i have a small but very good issue when it comes to watching the korean dramas. that issue is that i cannot tell you which is my favorite. I have watched a total of about 4 series in the past 3 months and absolutely enjoy each on their on merits so much that i either cannot say which i like the most or maybe it's that i like them all the same. i have watched in this order: sweet spy, my lovely samsoon, my girl and ruler of your own world. each series is so good that i can watch 4-5 episodes in a sitting. there is very little western television that i would even want to do this with, but the k-dramas are so very different. after i watch the dramas, i actually have a smile on my face from the experience that i have partaken of. and i usually think to myself, this is how television is supposed to be. i have watched 4 series, i am presently watching "the palace"; i have "all about eve and princess first love" ready to go next. this is not to mention that i have 2 more ordered from yesasia ready to be shipped out next week. so am i addicted? this entry in sharon's awesome blogsite should answer that question. so to end my k-drama rant, i will say this is the way tv should be: dramatic, funny, excellent story and actors, and any other thoughts of expressiveness that can be thought of. Thanks Sharon for giving me a place to express and rant on the awesomeness of this dose of korean culture.<BR/><BR/>October 1, 2007 1:00 AMSharon Allersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285676991648478047noreply@blogger.com
