K-Dramas

I've completed these korean dramas with good ratings lately...

1. 迈达斯 / 点金神手/ Midas

Episodes: 21
Genre: Business, Romance
Casts: Jang Hyuk, Kim Hee Ae, Lee Min Jung, No Min Woo
Synopsis: The background of the drama is about life in the mergers & acquisitions, stock market and financial world, as well as the lives of chaebols.
Review: This show is about the financial world, mergers and revenge and rarely talks about romance much. This would not be interesting (rather dry drama) if you are looking for the typical korean romantic show.

2. Sign

Episodes: 20
Genre: Medical, Mystery, Romance
Casts: Park Shin Yang, Kim Ah Joong, Uhm Ji Won, Jung Gyu Woon, Jun Kwang Ryul
Synopsis: A medical investigation drama about forensic doctors solving murder cases. Go Da Kyung is an eager rookie investigator who gets paired with the famous forensic doctor, Yoon Ji Hoon. They initially clash due to their different styles of investigation as well as their opposing personalities – Da Kyung’s energetic nature is a source of irritation for the prickly Ji Hoon – but later develop a complex relationship as the two strive to uncover the truth through science.
Review: This was about forensic work in Korean, it involves some politics. It's surprisingly nice and different from HK forensic drama which I'm also a fan of! Little romance until the last few episodes.

3. 童顔美女 / Baby-faced Beauty

Episodes: 20
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Casts: Jang Nara, Choi Daniel, Ryu Jin, Kim Min Seo
Synopsis: The story of Lee So Young, a 34-year-old woman who’s saddled with family debt and only has a high school qualifications, but dreams of becoming a fashion designer. Her youthful appearance is her only advantage; she is mistaken for a 25-year-old university graduate and subsequently lands her dream job when she’s hired by a fashion design company, where she meets Choi Jin Wook, a man who looks more mature than his young age.
Review: Nice and romantic show set in a fashion company. I like the story and the ending! :)
