DRAMA OF THE YEAR{top 3}:
Master Sun

This officially made it into my all time top 5 dramas, am i the only one in love with this picture? it's amazing how four of them looks so perfect in this hahaha. So Master Sun written by my all time favorite writer duo, Hong Sisters and directed by the awesome director whom i watch almost all his drama and i loveeeeeeee them (City Hunter, Princess Prosecutor,Brilliant Legacy). Plenty of skinships here with sizzling chemistry and plenty of cuteness, what more can i ask for?
Miss Korea

Underated gold. Yes i know this drama gets boring at times, but idk i think it's perfect and i love it so yup top 3 :-) http://dramawatchx.blogspot.sg/2014/03/miss-korea-review.html
You Who Came From The Stars

Reasons why: http://dramawatchx.blogspot.sg/2014/02/you-who-came-from-stars-my-love-from.html

OTP COUPLE OF THE YEAR:
I HEAR YOUR VOICE

I LOVE THIS KISS. Noona romance have never been more interesting than I hear your voice.
Master Sun

Their chemistry........ i can't even find a perfect word to describe how much i love them :')
You Who Came From The Stars

Age doesn't matter, although Jun Ji Hyun is 7 years older than Kim Soo Hyun and she's married but they still look so good together urgh

COUPLES NOT MEANT TO BE OF THE YEAR:
Heirs 

Am i the only one who thinks Park Shin Hye looks better with Kim Won Bin? sorry Kim Tan
Cyrano Dating Agency

The picture says it all.
Monstar

As much as i love the otp couple, you can't deny that they look good together right?

VILLAIN OF THE YEAR
I Hear Your Voice

Evil ahjussi is going to sleep haha sorry that's pretty random. His character Min Jong Kook probably left everyone a deep impression, one handed villain of the year.

CHARACTER OF THE YEAR:
Miss Korea's Oh Ji Young/Ma Ae Ri/Kim Jae Hee/Ko Hwa Jung

I can't seem to find a picture with just them together, psh oh well. Girl power hahaha do read the full miss korea review http://traintoseoul.blogspot.sg/2014/03/miss-korea-review.html
Master Sun's Joo Joong Won

How cute is seeing a 36 year old man singing papa bear mama bear? I love how Joong Won becomes like a little child wanting attention from Gong Shil as the story goes on, so cute hahahaha
Bel Ami's Kim Bo Tong

Kim Bo Tong turns out to be nothing i expected, she's cute, strong, determined at times, tries to protect what she wants, realistic when she needs to be, overall a surprisingly lovable character.
Heir's Jo Myung Soo

Although Jo Myung Soo is only a supporting character, he is so cute my heart flutters whenever i see him haha. He is the joker of the school, he isn't serious, not judgemental, idk i just love his character urgh haha.
Two Week's Seo Soo Jin

I really don't get how can anyone in the world dislike her. she's a brave, cute, strong, positive minded, encouraging, motivating, smart little girl.


DRAMAS YOU WISH YOU HAVE NEVER WATCHED OF THE YEAR:
Mi Rae's Choice

They had such an amazing cast *roll eyes* I am proud of myself for even managing to finish this till the end

UNDERRATED DRAMAS THAT DESERVES MUCH MORE OF THE YEAR:
Nine

Amazing cast, amazing script, amazing directing but people ain't watching it.
Miss Korea

Consequences of being up against You Who Came From The Stars. This deserve so much more, perfect cast, perfect acting, perfect script, perfect directing.
Cyrano Dating Agency

Such a pretty cast but it seems like SNSD can't seem to do well in dramas sigh SooYoung deserves more attention for her amazing acting. The light hearted storyline deserves more attention too. *problem can be solve by also having more romance for the leads and less agency romance*
Two Weeks

P-E-R-F-E-C-T script,great acting, great directing but too underrated

FRENEMIES OF THE YEAR:
Miss Korea

Anyone whom watched this would understand why
Master Sun

Tae Yi Ryung hates Tae Gong Shil due to her popularity in schooling days but ends up being a cute help to her instead haha they are both so cute
I Hear Your Voice

Although Seo Do Yeon was a bitch for a while she ends up being a pretty lovable character, i love how do yeon and jang hye sung stay competitive with each other but somehow look so cute together lol

BEST STORY:
Nine

The scriptwriter did a amazing job. (this is random but this drama probably has the best kiss, the otp couple kiss are so omg haha it feels so different from other dramas otp couples kisses)
Miss Korea

People don't seem to appreciate this story sigh *shrugs*
Two Weeks

Isn't this a pretty family? haha i really love the little girl ahhhhh. Two weeks is written by one of my all time favorite writer, So Hyeon Kyeong whom wrote Princess Prosecutor, Brilliant Legacy, 49 days, My Daughter Seo Yeong. Although this isn't my favorite drama of hers, this is the best script she have written to date , i can't even seem to find any flaws in it.

BEST ACTING:
Secret Love - Lee Da Hee, Bae Soo Bin, Hwang Jung Eum, Ji Sung

This show deserves a lot of credit for acting, it's hard to find a drama with ALL the leads bringing in fantastic acting but secret love did it. Hwang Jung Eum did a excellent job as the female protagonist, Ji Sung whom portray a really weird but at the same time awesome male protagonist did a fantastic job too, bringing out all the emotions his character have. Lee Da Hee whom i previously saw in I Hear Your Voice did a good job as a bitchy, annoying but lovable at times second lead (tbh she did a better job than in I Hear Your Voice ) which she finally clinch her well deserved first female lead role( she previously was a female lead in a long family drama but was never the main female lead in a short drama ) in the upcoming Big Man with Kwan Ji Hwan, Daniel Choi and the lovable Jung So Min. Bae Soo Bin is an actor i've seen in 4 dramas, but this is probably his best performance, he acted as the bad guy in 49 days but it didn't leave me a deep impression, Bae Soo Bin did a marvelous job as the evil-ex-boyfriend-whom-had-the-girlfriend-to-go-to-jail-for-him.
Master Sun - So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin

Both Gong Hyo Jin and So Ji Sub did a great job but i find the acting from the second leads a little weak though ( Seo In Guk did muchhhhhhh better in Reply Me 1997 ).
I Hear Your Voice - Lee Jong Suk

I've watched Lee Jong Suk in Secret Garden as the little student guy that has a gay crush on Oska( aka Yoon Sang Hyun ) and in Princess Prosecutor as the guy-that-comes-out-for-a-little-while-so-i-don't-even-know what he acted as and here suddenly he became the lead in I Hear Your Voice and delivered a realistic and great performance *so proud of him haha*
You Who Came From The Stars - Jun Ji Hyun

Both her acting and character in the show are perfect.
Good Doctor - Joo Won

SO CUTE. It's amazing how cute he looks as a doctor with mental disabilities, he did a great job having his character being pretty hard to act out. ( but joo won's best performance yet is Gaskital, he did so freakin well idk what to say haha )
Two Weeks - Kim So Yeon

I never liked Kim So Yeon although i have watched Princess Prosecutor with her as the lead but her character and acting there are both...... she surprised me with her acting here as a tough police and even overcast Lee Jun Ki aka the main male protagonist.( Lee Jun Ki did a great job too )
Miss Korea - Lee Yeon Hee

I love her character here to bits and her acting here was of course amazing too. I've only watch Gu Family Book with her as an cameo for the first two episodes ( she looks good with choi jin hyuk though ) so i can't comment much about her acting in the past ( i've heard many horrible things about her acting in Phantom which i'm planning to watch soon as it has So Ji Sub too ) but i assure that her acting here is really really good.


BEST OST:
Heirs
Kim Eun Sook's drama always have amazing ost so it's not surprisingly Heirs have amazing music.
Secret Love
A surprisingly great ost, super addicting music plus a melodrama with great acting
Master Sun
Hong sister's drama always seem to have great ost so Master Sun is no exception
7th Grade Civil Servant
Although the drama is a disappointing, at least there's good music right?
That Winter The Wind Blows
Although the drama becomes dull at times aka boring, the amazing directing plus music saves the day *insert superman music*
