Korean Dramas 2009-2013
Here are some of the Korean dramas that I have watched and some were aired in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 or even older. Although some of them might be older than the others, they are still really good dramas which you will definitely enjoy watching. I am watching some of the newer ones which have just started airing a few weeks back and I will share my thoughts with you after I have finish watching them. :)
If you want to know where I watch my dramas,I watch most of my Korean dramas here.

- My Thoughts
- This was the first Korean drama that I had watched but since it have been awhile since I had watched it, I might try watching it again as I forgot a bit of it. (I usually don't like re-watching the same drama again as it is less interesting and exciting than the first time.) It was a really good Korean drama. I watched it because it has Yong Hwa from C.n.blue and Hong Ki from F.t. island inside. After watching this drama, I started getting addicted to Korean dramas more than Korean variety shows. It is definitely worth watching! I honestly wanted her to end up not with him but with HIM! (Don't click on the link if you do not want me to spoil the show for you if you have not watched it.)
