I love watching Korean dramas (also Taiwanese and Thai). K-dramas have good stories, they are short (usually 16 episodes), have some great actors, good looking people and locales and hardly any violence. I don't like Hollywood style violence and gore. I have watched many Korean dramas in the last 10 years - later I decided to note them down for my own record so that I don't forget. Here is a partial list along with my own ratings out of 10. Later I will write down the Korean names for practice. 1. My Golden Life - 9 2. Money Flower - 9 3. Shinning Inheritance / Brilliant Legacy - 9 4. Father is Strange - 8 5. Encounter - 8.5 6. Should We Kiss First? - 9 7. Marriage Contract - 8.5 8. Accidental Couple - 8.5 9. Bad Couple - 8 10. Lovers in bloom - 7 11. Lover from the Star - 7.5 12. W - 8.5 13. Let's Eat 1 - 8 14.

I was trying to make some long sentences. Not sure of their correctness though - although they seem about right.
