It's like Alias (without the Rambaldi crap) and 24 in Korean with hotter looking actors that have great haircuts. I also loved the locations! Never heard of Akita, Japan before this series but it was amazing. Especially the igloos with candles and furnaces. The plot line moved at a good pace. Hyun Joon is sexy as all hell. I though he looked better with the longer hair cut the beginning. There were 1 or 2 plot lines that I wish could have gone another way with certain characters. Without spoiling it...the ending was expected but unexpected. I respect what the writers did, but damn, why??I need to watch it, especially since IRIS 2 has been announced with one of my new favorites, Cha Seung-won. I LOVE that actor.

In spite of it all, Ji Eun manages to be humorous and endearing - even when her heart is breaking.
The show is really hilarious because the girl is super messy but the guy she is married to is a neat freak. On top of that, the guy is REALLY rude, although he can be endearing at times. Her naivety makes her an easy target for his bullying.

Serendipity223 wrote:cryinblue Do you know about this blog? Dramabeans Great place to keep up with all the latest and greatest updates in K-dramas. You should also check out her drama ratings section. She has good taste imo and will help you weed out what to watch and what not to watch. Have you watched "Smile, You"? It's a little longer than the typical 16-20 eps shows. It's kind of like watching a reality tv show because it's just following the everyday life of these families, but their antics will crack you up so much. http://www.viikii.net/channels/goto/smileyou# Also this place ^^ is where I go to for super fast sub on new shows. They're usually done within like 3 days, and in cases of really popular dramas, typically a few hours after the live airing in Korea. Unfortunately "Personal Taste" belongs to MBC, which holds a copyright agreement there, so they're not allowed to make the videos viewable until 2 months later. But I'm not too torn up about it since Withs2 is doing the sub for that drama so we'd only have to wait a week or so

I can't watch K-pop videos without laughing though, so it's kind of hard to lust after a Korean "rapper". I'll just watch him act. Apparently he gets out of the Army soon, so hopefully by next year we'll see him in another K-drama.

Assorted Gems starring Go Na Eun, Lee Hyun Jin, So Yi Hyun, Kim Young Ok and Jung Hye Sun The hilarious, heartwarming story of a rambunctious family who learn to live together and get along with one another - and do a little falling in love along the way - Assorted Gems's ratings steadily climbed over the course of its 50 episodes. It's not hard to see why. Led by rising stars Go Na Eun (Green Coach), Lee Hyun Jin (Family's Honor) and So Yi Hyun (Swallow the Sun) and veteran actresses Kim Young Ok (Boys Before Flowers) and Jung Hye Sun (Queen Seon Duk), Assorted Gems is an utterly funny, charming, romantic saga in the vein of Cheaper by the Dozen (only much more romantic). Each of the four siblings in the Gung family is named after a different precious jewel: eldest daughter Bi Chwi (Jade), eldest son San Ho (Coral), second daughter Ryu Bi (Ruby), and the youngest son, Ho Bak (Amber). Also known as Jewel Bibimbap, the concept of Assorted Gems is to show how these individuals, like rough-edged jewels or a bowl of assorted bibimbap ingredients, can only achieve balance and rightness when they are rubbing against each other and brought together. Gung Bi Chwi/Jade (Go Na Eun) is the eldest of the family, a demanding perfectionist with her heart set on marrying a rich man who will take her out of her poverty. When handsome Seo Young-guk moves into her family's boarding house, sparks begin to fly, but Bi Chwi resists, not realizing that Young-guk is not the poor man he seems to be but rather a chairman's son trying to gain experience by starting at the bottom. Gung Ruby, meanwhile, is a nurse who is also determined to marry rich, but in the midst of constant quarelling with Kyle, a tenant, she begins to fall for him. Gung San Ho/Coral (Lee Hyun Jin), their younger brother, is a law school graduate preparing for the bar exam, and as the oldest son has always been responsible and hard-working. When he meets Kang-ji, a friend of Ruby's however, his reserve begins to fade. Lee Il Min, a newbie actor, is the youngest brother Gung Ho Bak, or Amber. Presiding over these eclectic four and the varied members of their boarding house are patriarch and head of the family Gung Sang-shik, going through a mid-life crisis at age 55, and mother Pi Hye Je, who is vain, irresponsible, loves shopping and spending the family's money. With all this friction, will romance bring balance? Find out in Assorted Gems!
