Re: Foreign Dramas

How I Met Your Mother. I ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY LOVE IT! :)

33

Re: Foreign Dramas

Watched Iranian, Japanese, Chinese, and I think Greek movies last couple of months. Acting superb, story lines compelling. The talent puts Bollywood to shame.

Yes How I met your Mother is - wait for it - quite funny.

34

Re: Foreign Dramas

Re: Foreign Dramas

Re: Foreign Dramas

Thought I would add a new one.. Muhteşem Yüzyıl (Magnificent Century).. very very popular but also v.controversial in Turkey.. a historical drama (think a Middle-Eastern/Asian version of The Tudors lol) on Suleiman the Magnificent..

Some background on it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/20/turkish-drama-magnificent-century-divides

Re: Foreign Dramas

OMG I LOVE THAT FILM!

Korean dramas are hilarious. They're just like us. I watched one called 'All About Marriage.' Part of the story-line has an unmarried daughter who gets pregnant. When the mother finally agrees to meet the boyfriend, she cordially says hello, dumps a plate of noodles on his head and starts pulling his hair, bahahaha.

^:cb:

I should watch that…I love Korean dramas tooo…haven’t heard of the one you mentioned, gonna check it out.

39

Re: Foreign Dramas

Korean dramas are the best! I’m currently watching a family drama called Ojakgyo Brothers. It’s about four brothers who live on a farm and their separate love and work related stories. It is soooooo good!

This is the review that got me started and completely, hopelessly addicted: http://thundiesprattle.com/2011/11/18/ojakkyo-brothers/

Re: Foreign Dramas

I watched a few Danish dramas (the Killing) and french series (Spiral), very gritty and a bit depressing. Some very good acting though. May check out the one you're watching though, Deeba!
