Poll Time: Looking Forward to the Fall 2013 K-dramas

It’s pretty easy to figure out which K-dramas I’m interested in or excited about but there are lots more K-drama fishes in the pond then the ones I care to cover. For companies worldwide the fourth and final quarter of the year has started and it’s time to put the pedal to the metal and bring home the win. For the networks in Korea, some have flown high while others have faltered, but with so many upcoming K-dramas in the pipeline the Fall season is an unpredictable free for all that can reset the stage. Every network has a win in the different time slots so far this year: KBS did especially well on weekends with My Daughter Seo Young, The Best Lee Soon Shin, and now King’s Family, while MBC scored wins with Horse Doctor and Gu Family Book, and SBS has been spreading out the wins across time slots with That Winter, The Wind Blows, I Hear Your Voice, and The Master’s Sun. Now it’s time to look forward to the last batch of K-dramas that could give 2013 the final kick in the arse in terms of delivering a final injection of quality fare, or it’ll close out the year’s end with a whimper of lots of buzz with no bite. Take a poll and see which K-dramas are the most hotly anticipated, and conversely consider which K-dramas actually have potential to be really good. Despite the skewed coverage around here, there isn’t just two K-dramas premiering in the Fall in the form of Heirs/The Inheritors and Marry Him If You Dare. I’m actually plenty curious about most of what’s coming and giddy with excitement for some unexpected ratings and quality results. It’s so boring when its predictable, let the Fall K-drama showdown begin now!

So how did you vote? Is your fave also leading the polls? Don’t worry, even if you’re the only one waiting for __________ drama to air, just think of it as more drama for you to love and no one to fight with you over it.

  • Nice post!!! :)

    I picked marry me if you dare as the one that I am most anticipating. I think that medical top team has potential to be the best in terms of quality. I have very little expectation that empress ki will be good after this years bombs on mbc for me. I think heirs will get the high ratings and the commercial success ie money but I have doubts about the quality and the storyline. Kes is good and quite entertaining but SeGa had lots of wtf moments and AGD was fun to watch but the storyline etc was only ok.

    I still hoping that marry me if you dare comes out on top in the Monday slot. I really want to love it. Drama gods - please hear our pleas.

  • Looks like I'm in the minority. The one I'm really anticipating is Answer Me 1994. The effect of Answer Me 1997 ^^

    • +1
      I loved Answer me 1997, especially its construction.
      I don't know if Answer 1994 can manage to be as innovative. Though it doesn't matter. It's my generation anyway!

  • Koala you are just soo loved...No wonder I stalk this site...It's going to be Heirs hands down. The casting, the characters,genuine enthusiasm throughout the production. They are doing things so right. It's like waiting for a baby to be birthed. Hurry up already. Die hard fans can just "see and sense" a winner in the making. An..ti..ci..pa..tion. What have I loved? All the"build-up", the behind the scenes, seeing the filming crew. It takes every-one working together to make One Totally Awesome Drama. There seems to be a much deserved excitement, bring it on.

  • Watching for shore- Marry Him If You Dare , The Heirs and Man From The Stars.

    No way i`m watching-Pretty Man, the weekend dramas and Empress Ki(60 episode sageuk drama no effing way ) .

    Will watch first episode to see whats up-Prime Minister and I,Basketball and Medical Top Team.

  • Having a good feeling about Marry Him If You Dare. It has the potential of being "silent but deadly". The type that does not rely so much on hype but on merits, I am looking forward. I love it that all the stills and teasers including the BTS videos they've released so far actually have substance and in some way gives you a deeper look at the characters and the drama itself and not just for promo-sake. So far, solid casting too. Great visuals, definitely but with that I meant just not being plain "eye-candies" but all 4 leads so far exudes distinct charisma. I am actually loving the contrasting charisma between Yoon Eun Hye and Han Chae Ah, Lee Dong Gun and Jung Yong Hwa. Whoever ends up with who in this drama won't be a problem. The chemistry is off the charts among the four. Meanwhile, the BTS shows you the synergy between the four as well, it can only get better (hopefully) as they get to know each other more. Not to mention veteran actresses Choi Myung Gil and Go Doo Shim are great assets to this drama too.

  • I'm ridiculously excited for this new drama season. I can honestly say that it's one of the rare times when almost EVERYTHING looks interesting.

    *does happy dance*

    Out of this (seemingly) good crop, I wonder which dramas will be the biggest surprises: the one that will surpass all expectations and be AWESOME and the one that will FAIL horribly.

    The one I'm most curious to see is probably "Basketball". Probably because of the cast. And that's a good thing.

  • PS: I can't help but imagine how "The Woman Who Married Three Times" is going behind the scenes. I keep imagining the whole cast sitting at the table reading and getting criticized by the writer. Specially Lee Ji Ah! I do love her, but I can totally see the writer wringing her neck, trying to get the best acting out of her. And that image is hilarious!

  • What is kinda of turning me away from Marry Him If You Dare...Don't get me wrong, I for one appreciate seeing women in this industry,but it seems like
    there is a woman writer, woman p.d., strong women characters. I will pass.

    • Hm, didn't realize this was going to be a woman pd but those are as rare as blue moons. i guess i'm more interested for that sole reason you're not! :P

  • I dont really see what so good abt MHIYD I wish I copied my comment just now from db but im not writing it back !
    Omg sbs omg its been 32 weeks of me wTchimg allllll of those 2013 dram a omg what a journey ! Well its continued with HIERS of course lee min ho forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
    Bty im looking forward to man from the stars too ! Omg sbs I love yoh !
