Suggestions for a good Korean or Japanese Drama

[Haruhi6]

I am in the mood to see a classic Cinderella like story- I'm a big sap. Something where there's a guy who's rich, usually a jerk, and a poor girl who is saved. I want something like My Girl, Kim Sam Soon, What Happened in Bali, Full House, Hana Yori Dango, or Pretty Woman (not Korean or Japanese, but I love it). I've been noticing dramas have been almost straying a little from this trend. It doesn't have to be Korean or Japanese, I also like Taiwanese and Chinese series.

There seems to be less of these dramas lately. Last one I can think of was Fated to Love You which was good but actually started dragging a bit.

Please help if you know of anything I may like.

Have you seen It started with a kiss?? I would totally recommend it...
Its sequel is called They Kiss Again...
Or u cud watch Meteor Garden I (TW version of HYD)
Both the dramas are taiwanese

Thanks. I've only seen one episode of ISWAK, it was pretty cute, but I never continued it for some reason. I really liked the manga though.

I've already seen Meteor Garden, I preferred the Japanese HYD. I am waiting to see the new Korean version that is slated to come out soon.

"Something where there's a guy who's rich, usually a jerk, and a poor girl who is saved."


For those...


Marrying a Millionaire (he's not REALLY a millionaire. But, you can see what I mean when you read the synopsis):

Goong (it's really popular. I personally never got into it):

Magicians Of Love (okay, this one is Taiwanese. I still think you should check it out. The lead girl is a poor, but talented beautician. She meets three rich, handsome beauticians and works at their shop):

Love or Bread (it's still on-going. Taiwanese though!):

Successful Story of a Bright Girl (the lead guy starts off rich, but turns poor and regains it at the end with the help of the lead girl. It's Korean):

Nodame Cantibale (this other drama is SORT of like a rich guy/poor girl scenario, except it doesn't dwell on it for the series as the, um, hindrance to their eventual relationship. It's Japanese)

Smiling Pasta (this is the Taiwanese re-make of Full House. The paparazzi plays a much bigger role):

Lovers in Paris (Korea), which has a pair that is older than your usual K-series. Very Cinderella in that it's an arrogant rich guy with a spunky tomboy poor woman.

Sweet 18 (Korea), starring a real-life couple that recently broke up. The guy isn't a jerk or that rich, but he's established and in an arranged marriage with a high-school graduate who is your usual spunky Korean lead.

Hope this helps!
