Yong Pal

This drama is so amazing! I usually don't watch too many medical dramas because they end up being too boring. Yong Pal however is full of action, suspense and intrigue. So far I am really enjoying the show, and it seems the people of South Korea are also. The show is currently reaching double digit ratings!

Summary:

Kim Tae Hyun (Joo Won) is a promising young surgeon, but his finances take a dive when his sister's health condition requires costly dialysis treatments. When Tae Hyun subsequently falls into a vicious cycle of debt, he assumes the alias of "Yong Pal" and begins making house calls for criminals who are willing to pay top dollar. Complicating things further, Tae Hyun gets involved with Han Yeo Jin (Kim Tae Hee), a comatose patient at the hospital.

Snow White with the Red Hair (Anime)

I've been reading the manga, Akagami no Shirayukihime for a while now, so when I heard they were making an anime I flipped! 
Shoujo manga don't get made into anime as often as shonen, so I was super excited! 
The story and characters are all fantastic. The heroine is not your average girl, and everything seems really realistic. This is a must read and watch! 

*Also see if you can spot Kuro-sensei's voice in the first ep!  (Jun Fukuyama)* 

Summary:


Shirayuki is a headstrong young pharmacist with a shock of beautiful apple-red hair. When her mane gets her noticed by a prince who demands she be his concubine, she runs away to a neighboring kingdom, where she befriends a handsome stranger.

This movie is so crazy! But I loved it! I was laughing pretty much the whole movie.
All the actors were a perfect fit! And I had forgotten that Kim Woo Bin is known for his player, rebellious drama characters!

Amidst shifting priorities, these friends learn important lessons in love and life, proving that while girls and work can be confusing at any age, it's especially challenging when you're a 20-year-old guy.

The Heroic Legend of Arslan

My own review pending.... I'm on ep. 7?
This series has been in several different formats from novels to manga to anime.
Recently Hiromu Arakawa used the story from original novels (different author), and turned it into a manga of her own style. You may know her as the mangaka of Full Metal Alchemist. 

Summary:

In the kingdom of Pars lies the Royal Capital of Ecbatana, a powerful city ruled by the fearsome King Andragoras. Arslan, the 14-year-old prince of Pars, is a green ruler and lacks the fierce leadership skills possessed by his father. After his father falls victim to a treacherous plot headed by one of his most trusted comrades, the kingdom of Pars falls in the war with the neighboring nation of Lusitania. Narrowly escaping with his life, Arslan must embark on a journey to reclaim the fallen kingdom and fulfill his destiny as ruler of Pars.
