Now that there's a lull in the K drama scene for me, let me take stock of what I've watched and pass some biased judgement on those shows.
The links are to this Korean tourism site which gives synopses along with the filming sites, just in case anyone wants to go on a K drama tour ;-).
My biased conclusions
Shows watched so far
(For most cases, the number of episodes watched roughly tallies with how much I enjoyed the show)
(For most cases, the number of episodes watched roughly tallies with how much I enjoyed the show)
Watched fewer than 5 episodes
All About Eve (MBC)
Winter Sonata (KBS)
All In (SBS)
Love Story in Harvard (SBS)
More than 5, fewer than 10 episodes
Memories of Bali (SBS)
Dalja's Spring by KBS (liked this but discovered it late in its run)
Dae Jang Geum by MBC (interesting but too slow-moving and too long for me)
My Girl (SBS)
Full House (KBS)
Goong (MBC)
Wedding (KBS)
Foxy Lady (MBC)

My biased conclusions
Best network: MBC
Most beautiful actress: Choi Ji-woo (from Winter Sonata – peerless, right? Though she and Bae Yong-jun SO do not look like high school students)
Cutest actress: Yoon Eun-hye (Crown Princess in Goong) 
Cutest actor: Hyun Bin (from Sam Soon; please note ‘cute’ means different things for males and females, ha ha) 
Best actress: Kim Sun-ah (Sam Soon – natural in funny, romantic, sad, thought-provoking scenes) 
Best actor: Lee Dong-wook (from My Girl - could act being boring, deep, emotional and funny all in one character) 
Best friends: the 3 girls from Goong (supportive friends, not too nonsensical, though one is rather annoying) 
Best chemistry: Yoon Eun-hye and Joo Ji-hoon (Crown Prince and Princess in Goong, who do look like high school students)
Could have been ‘best chemistry’ couple : Lee Da-hae and Lee Joon-ki (from My Girl, they were just friends but they really clicked on screen)
Most over-rated drama: Full House (entertaining but too much to-ing and fro-ing among the characters, characterisation and plot rather shallow on the whole)
Most beautiful actress: Choi Ji-woo (from Winter Sonata – peerless, right? Though she and Bae Yong-jun SO do not look like high school students)

X-Tongfang, I've never watched Lee Jang Jae and the only one of his shows I've heard of is Il Mare. He does look suave in some pictures. I thought you watched Winter Sonata too? You know there's a comic version of DCJ at Popular? Your daughter might like it.
Bear Hugs, I agree that Kim Tae-hee is pretty. And not overly skinny, though I suspect her BMI is below normal.
you may be interested to grab a copy of i weekly as they have this writeup about "cute yong things" - cute actresses from the region including the princess hour one.
