A Gentleman's Dignity
My Love From the Star was really popular this year but I didn't care for it, you might like it though.
+1 for Secret Garden and A Gentleman's Dignity if you haven't seen either of them yet.
I liked My Love from Another Star, but YMMV
Other dramas that may interest you:
Dr. Stranger
Empress Ki (watched initially for Ha Ji Won, stayed for the story)
Trot Lovers (I'm thoroughly enjoying this right now)
City Hunter
All I can think of at the moment.
Oh, lord, please don't do that. I'm watching that show, there are two episodes left, and while the first ten episodes were cute, the show took a turn for the shitter in the 10th episode, after
one of the characters got injured and got amnesia.
Basically, it jumped the shark. Before watching the show, I was really looking forward to a light-hearted story about show-business, and it kind of started off like that, but the show I'm watching at the moment couldn't be farther from that.
Jung Eun Ji, Shin Sung Rok and Ji Hyun Woo all did a great job, it's just that the material they had to work with was crap.
Oh, and you know what else I hate about Trot Lovers? The fact that everyone arrives just in time to overhear something important. Literally half of the series' plot wouldn't have advanced if it wasn't for someone overhearing another character. It's just lazy writing.

The Greatest Love
was she a lawyer? did it involve telepathy?
maybe a show called I hear your voice
Flowers For My Life (aka I Came in Search of a Flower) is an excellent drama. Starts off as something goofy and soon after the first few episodes turns into something profound. I don't think I'll ever forget the ending.
You Who Came From The Starts (My Love From The Star) was good. Coffee Prince is excellent. Dae Jang Geum as well...
Secret Garden and 49 Days are also worth a watch.

You should watch Fashion King, got excellent reviews from giri and milkham. They said the ending was an unforgettable experience.
Edit: Now seriously, I recommend Emergency Couple, but is the only k-drama I've watched, so I can't compare it to the others mentioned here, but I think it's a solid show. It has this cute comedy look, but it gets very depressive and sad at times.

Their best MV by far but their worst song. At least the dance is great.

i was getting ready to kick you
You're so violent. Still mad your girl died 8 years ago at the hands of your best friend turned into your greatest enemy. Little do you know, you'll find love after you swap bodies with your long lost brother.
I will always pimp Giant, as someone who prefers ambitious and suspenseful drama over romantically driven plots. 60 episodes, won multiple awards (not just from its own channel) and was consistently the top rated show for its time slot while it aired.
Not a lot of eye candy though, if that's something that is a critical factor. A lot of old dudes.

I dunno. If anything, it feels like a rehash one of their earlier singles, "Pretty Pretty" (which was a lot better).

It is a wildlife documentary!
I actually find it amazing how they're so carefree on the show, like it sometimes feels like they're acting. Maybe I'm just jaded as hell, but yeah it feels weird lol.
If only you liked Suzy, then we can be bros.
Is it really that bad? I wanted to watch it for my tangerine Eunji haha.
She's lovely and probably the main reason why I'll finish the show (aside from Shin Sung Rok, who took me by surprise by his acting, especially after his turn in You Who Came From The Stars). If you decide to watch it, just know that you'll be in for some extremely irritating cliches.

I want KARA. Why no Kara?
EDIT:
Actually a really well written article.
Still butthurt Kara isn't there though
60 episodes is a lot for a K-drama but I'm going to check it out.
man I used to watch those music shows back in the day when I got my mom to borrow them from our local Korean video store. lol, I think it was 2 episodes to a tape?
so good, lol classic tunes, and those dance moves!

Speaking of Irene, someone posted this rumor on irc last night. At first I assumed it was bullshit. While the Japanese market is obviously the golden goose, an entirely Japanese sub unit is unheard of (afaik). When I checked it out again today though, I noticed he had posted some pictures of possible members, obviously taken from the Happiness mv. I checked it out again, and sure enough, they're all there. At the beginning, when the lips are talking. Who could they be?
Narae, damn. What the fuck is wrong with whoever edited the mv? There is a distinct lack of airtime for Narae. Either way, I like the song for the most part. The rap part made me cringe. Shame it's an English release. It'll just be another Love Alone with way too few live performances.
I second these two, especially Dae Jang Geum. Best kdrama by far. The Greatest Love was a positive surprise for me. Not usually that fond of romcoms, but The Greatest Love is definitely the best one and worth a watch. Aside from these two, I would recommend Thorn Birds. Criminally underrated kdrama. Don't think anyone else here has seen it.
Will be checking out these two. Especially Giant. Sounds like East of Eden, which I really liked, just with with much more revenge.
In other news, I nominate www.asianwiki.com as the go to wiki site for kdramas, and not d-addicts. It's got trailers and shit.
I was a huge Finkl fan back in the day (still sort of am, WHERE IS THE REUNION??!) and I always thought Waiting For You was their best track ever. I remember the song was used in a commercial way back when (I can't recall the product), and they only ever performed it a handful of time on music stages, so anytime I got to see it "live" was a blast.
This definitely doesn't not feel like 15 years ago...where has the time gone...

I was an S.E.S. fan, i liked some of Finkl's songs but maaaan their choreography was awful.
not the commercial you're thinking of but: http://youtu.be/obgva0tN_b0
I don't remember why these two ended up like this exactly, youtube was giving me issues with the music matching something in their db back then so i had to do something
http://youtu.be/0WHps6BIduU

edit:
is this it? http://youtu.be/5JEIQYK0PpY
I don't buy that rumour. I could believe if it can be another, and only one, girl group but unrelated to Red Velvet. Probably those in the MV are trainees or are in fact the upcoming group rooster
SM is already stretched to handle all the groups, would they now do an EXO version for 3 countries? Hard to believe.
On another note, with upcoming TTS, and most of them busy, with other comebacks pending and maybe another SM group next year (another rumour says a boyband) I can only foreseen a soshi korean comeback next late Spring at most. At this point and since The Boys, SM is relying less and less on SNSD's music promotions.

This sounds like a really cool thing and I would like it to be true because it sounds cool and stupid. #TeamBlueVelvet?Speaking of Irene, someone posted this rumor on irc last night.

Heh, most of those artists were in DDR 3rd Mix Korean and Pump It Up's Premiere/Prex mix; namely Click-B(Love), Fin.K.L.(Forever Love), and Baby VOX(well, Killer was in Technomotion).
Will the Yellow subunit be called the Yellow Submarine? How about Blue

Woah that Sojin pic is nightmare fuel.
Speaking of ships, I think I'm gonna start supporting the San E/Raina ship. The pair look really good in that song they have, like if I didn't know any better, I'd sure bet that they've got something going on irl. Also, I think I'm stanning Raina now over
Jooyeon, she's hella cute lol.
The other ship, one that I don't really support, Fany/Khun ship... it's blatantly obvious in JeKry that it's real. Not that I had doubts, but the Fany in JeKry is a lot different than the Fany before it was announced. Also, Victoria is 28?! Holy hell, I thought she was around Krystal's age.
Anyway, JeKry confirms one thing... idol life is a sad sad life. I really like how there's no filter on the show about irl, and yeah from all the talks Soshi and f(x) had, it really seems idol life is utter shit. I think I'd actually prefer my life right now than being in their shoes tbh.
Or maybe she's mad Yura and Minah got dudes in their lives.

Raina and San E were on Hello Counselor recently if you want some wind for the sails.
Also, there's a reason she's called "Vic-umma"
It may be ugly but it's brilliant imo. Usually you pick out prominent features in order to identify people in new groups, but now you can just pick a color and people will know. It lets people who want to be fans get into the group quicker. Now you don't have to be like "I like that one girl with the brown hair and awkward square jaw but is still qt" and have people be like which one?

Late to the party on this one but depending what you want I'll second City Hunter and add Tree with Deep Roots and Moon that Embraces the Sun >_>;
Vazduh was pretty much spot on with Trot Lovers. For 10 episodes it was pretty awesome and full of Eun Ji but it definately dropped a lot after that. It was always super predictable and cliche though.

Starship Entertainment is creating a new boy band - "Nuboyz". They haven't debuted yet, but here they are on stage. Performance is better than the name lets on.
