269. Golden Cross 골든 크로스 (2014) Korean

Kim Kang Woo Lee Si Young, Uhm Ki Joon, Han Eun Jung, Jung Bo Suk

Drama Rating: 3/10     Neck Score: A+++

Let's take a guy with a normal family who has struggled a bit because they are as good as they are normal, even though they fight and stuff and don't get why they have to suffer when they are good, and then let's ruin their lives completely just to give us the premise of this show: a secret chaebol organization that steps all over normal people for their greedy, economic controlling power.  There, we have the set up for a perfectly normal revenge drama.  Prosecutor in training, who also happens to be a former Taekwondo star, whose family struggles because of his super upright, honest banker dad, losing everything when his said upright, honest dad is framed for murdering his little sister.  It's obviously set up so this prosecutor will go on a holy rampage and take this secret organization down with his smart brain and snazzy taekwondo skills.  His crush is both the villain's daughter and the prosecutor of his father's case, that's going to lead to a bit of drama, exciting!  Typical revenge melodrama, right?  Well, let's take this typically set up plot and logical progression and do the opposite of everything logical.  That equals this show.  I was so disappointed.

11. Full House 풀하우스 (2004) Korean

Jung Ji Hoon (Rain), Song Hye Kyo, Han Eun Jung, Kim Sung Su

Drama Rating: 5/10     Neck Score: C

Rain's neck = yes.  Other dude's neck = no no no.  This was actually, technically my first drama ever.  Back in 2007 I would often browse through the TV channels and found one channel that would play Asian TV.  I would watch as often as I could, but unfortunately I could never watch at the same time.  I don't even remember if there were subtitles.  But it was the episode where it's her birthday and he gets chased around the amusement park trying to be there with her.  This is also a painfully draggy but ok drama.  You just want to reach into the screen and slap them.  There needed to be more Rain in kitty aprons and less hoes with their bras always showing and ugly neck dudes trying to break up a legitimate marriage.  Let's communicate people.  Also lets wear more fitted suits and give Rain a haircut to show off his manly, sexy neck!
