The actress that starred in “It’s OK, that’s love” is Gong Hyo Jin, who is probably the biggest female star in KDramas right now. If you enjoyed her performance, then I can also recommend that you check out a few of her other series, “The Master’s Sun” and “The Greatest Love”, aka “Best Love”.

On a more serious note, she also starred in “Thank You”, a story about a single mother raising a little girl who had been accidentally infected with HIV during a blood transfusion.

IMO, she’s an absolutely brilliant actress and never fails to make it seem like the character she’s portraying is a real person.

For those who might not know, much of the music used in the series is performed by many of Korea’s biggest music stars and is available in its’ full version in video clips on youtube, easily found by doing a search for “series name OST”.

For anyone who’s tired of the crap being put out by Hollywood, I heartily recommend giving KDramas a try.

csvset, where do you find JDramas? I haven’t found a site yet that I like.

What sites have you tried? Dramafever and Viki have some.
Viki has more since they were sold to a J media group but a lot of the content requires paid access.

Of the “ scalper “ sites, that is, they aren’t licensed by the broadcasters and they steal the work of the subbers to profit from ads on their websites.

I would say myasiantv and drama.net have the biggest selection. I use ghostery and no script to kill any ads and or other junk they my want to try to run.

Of the scalper sites they seem to be the better ones, others can be rather shady.

If you are so inclined you can download the sub files from someone like d-addicts but then have to d/l the videos from torrents. I choose not to go that route. It can be challenging to find J programs subbed. They seem to have a different business model and are not as keen to export as much as the K are. The J seem to like to sell DVDs to their domestic audiences. Its a shame because I think the J have better writing in a lot of ways.

Have you seen the J drama Woman ? Awesome. Tear jerker for sure but the writing and acting blow away the garbage on US TV.
