From least to most :)
15. Secret - oh, come on! It's like naming this 'kdrama.'
14. Pretty Man - the story about the world's prettiest man in which Jang Geun Seok continues to manifest how completely weird he is. Fly that freak flag proudly, JGS! But don't expect me to watch something so ridiculous. (Now, cast Hyun Bin, and we'll talk :P)
13. Medical Top Team - the only way I am watching a medical drama is if Kwon Song Woo is mandated to do his rounds topless.
12. Good Doctor - see above, only substitute KSW with Joo Won. Not even for you, my Gaksital, not even for you.
11. Her Legend - I hate fashion tales, Kim Jung Hoon is not my cup of soju and everything I've seen of this looks bland. Still, Choi Jung Won is someone I always keen an eye out for, so here's hoping. But not too hard.
10. Answer Me 1994 - I loved Answer Me 1997, but time will tell whether this comes close to that stellar drama or is just a lame copycat.
9. Man from the Stars - I like the premise of the long-lived alien searching for love but I am so allergic to Kim Soo Hyun that I might pass due to his casting alone. I am very fond of the younger dude acting cohort in general (Lee Min Ho, Jung Il Woo, Lee Jong Suk, Kim Woo Bin, Kim Bum, Yoochun, Yoo Seung Ho, Ji Chang Wook etc), but KSH irritates the hell out of me for some reason. We'll see who else they get - I keep hoping one day I will finally see what KSH fangirls see in him.
8. Two Weeks - I am a fan of both Lee Junki and Kim So Yeon, but the premise of a man who has to go on the run to prove his innocence and also save his kid sounds incredibly tired (didn't Mandate of Heaven do exactly the same plot, only with beards and hats?) Plus, the writer wrote 49 Days for which I have not forgiven her and find myself reluctant to watch anything else she pens (I enjoyed Prosecutor Princess and Shining Inheritance immensely, but 49 Days pissed me off THAT much).
7. Future Choice - time travel tale with Jung Yong Hwa. I am in a holding pattern with this one as time travel stuff has been done sublimely before and with a stronger lead, but I happen to love that type of set-up and JYH is charming, if limited in his range, so it could be pretty decent.
6. Master's Sun - Hong Sisters have been going downhill with tremendous speed, I am not a fan of wacky dramas, Gong Hyo Jin and So Ji Sub are not known for their comedy chops (and SJS has certainly picked some atrocious dramas in the past), and I loathe the way Hong Sisters write most of their female characters. Still, in memory of the amazingness that was Hong Gil Dong, Chunhyang, My Girl and Gumiho Girlfriend, I'll be tuning in and hoping for the best.
5. That 1930s Shanghai drama that can't cast - you had me at 1930s Shanghai, people. Even if the fact that they can't find a lead makes you wonder about the script.
4. Who Are You - tVN dramas have largely been great, I have a huge fondness for both So Yi Hyun and Taecyon, despite both of them being rather limited actors, and no opportunity to see the always awesome Kim Jae Wook (when is he ever going to be the lead, argh?) should be passed on. Plus, it just sounds cute.
3. Hwatu - I love female-centric sageuks and Ha Ji Won is a goddess who can do no wrong.
2. Basketball - I know zip about basketball other than that it involves hoops and balls, but a 1930s Korea setting plus those amazing posters make it an absolute must-see.
1. Heirs - Oh God, this is basically fangirl heaven. My fangirl heaven. I drool over and adore pretty much every person, male and female, in that cast - Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye, Kim Woo Bin, Choi Jin Hyuk, Im Joo Eun etc. Plus, the writer is Kim Eun Sook and I adored every single drama she ever penned. Throw in the topic of rich highschoolers and I am beginning to think of this as Boys Over Flowers done right (seeing how good Lee Min Ho was even in the trainwreck that was BOF, this is awesome).
How about you?
