This TV show is great if you are looking for a funny, but heartwarming romance. It is packed with laughs. It was one of the first Korean dramas that I ever watched and I still love it to this day. They are now making a sequel. Full House Take 2, which looks very funny but I haven't seen it yet.

Goong

A Love to Kill

The Return of Iljimae

In A Love to Kill, Bi (Rain or Jeong Ji Hoon) plays a tough guy as the role of a K-1 Fighter, Kang Bok Gu. Bok Gu is a character who is dynamic in nature and grew up in a foster home. He falls in love with a woman whom he should not love. It was because of the woman, his emotionally-wounded brother fell off from the rooftop and became a human vegetable. So, his love is forbidden and inevitably tragic. The woman is Cha Eun Seok (Shin Mina) who is a TV talent and movie actor. It was not that she jilted his brother on purpose, but upon a basis of misunderstanding, his hatred toward Cha Eun Seok grows more and more burning. By becoming Cha Eun Seok’s private bodyguard, Bok Gu keeps concretely practicing his revenge upon her. He only desires ‘to bring his brother’s woman to her knees.’ He is gradually taking Cha Eun Seok to destruction, while he feels his love toward her growing deeper and deeper in his heart.Bok Gu is a cold guy character without any special concern for woman. Martial art of hand-to-hand fighting was just kind of his escape he choose from the shock of a spinster’s death whom he loved from a distance.

This drama is a very intense love story. The main character accidentally begins to fall for a woman that he has sworn to ruin. Just think of all the confusion and anger and love that comes with this. It is great and one of my favorite but be careful because you will be sucked into and amazing but crazy world.

Goong is a story about young love in face of tradition, politics, and intrigue. In the imaginary world, modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy and the Royal Family lives in a grand Palace, the Goong. Story opens with the sudden death of the reigning the King. Faced with the decreasing popularity among the public for the Royalty, a grand wedding for the Crown Prince, Lee Shin, is decided to be the best publicity move to improve the image of the Royalty and at the same time prepare Shin for immediate succession. The intended bride? The headstrong, awkward, and sweet spirited Shin Chae Kyung that just happens to go to the same exclusive art school. Chae Kyung was betrothed to become the next Crown Princess by her grandfather and Shin's grandfather. After 14 years of living in England with his mom, Lee Yul appears all of a sudden. He is Shin's cousin as well as the "former" Crown Prince. Everything seemed to be going normally until Chae Kyung's optimistic spirit wins the heart of internally lonely, Yul. A series of scandals are exposed to the public right after the official marriage announcement. Will love prevail all in a world of political pressures and martial hardships? Or will being in the spotlight of the public be too much for the young newlyweds to endure?

This TV show is great. It is packed full of romance, action, and twists you won't see coming. It is like a ninja robin hood. The idea of it it that Iljimae is still here to day. You see him the first time in the modern day, then it goes back to tell the story. Some people have a hard time distinguishing this show from myth or history. It the one drama I would recommend to anyone. You have to go and watch it.
