Let me take a guess as to why you prefer JDrama over KDrama? I'll bet that one of the reasons is the LONGWINDEDNESS. Japanese ones can drag, but Korean ones really drag. I would say that a typical, short (16 episodes) KDrama goes ridiculously downhill after around 8 episodes. The first five are a lot of fun (if you're lucky), but then it all just collapses.
It's lucky that, from the get-go, Japanese series tend to be shorter ... unless they last several seasons, which is usually a bad idea. Hana Yori Dango? I don't even know how I finished that show, considering that I don't care for "idol actors" and the back-and-forth between Tsukushi & Domyouji was incredibly frustrating. And Matsumoto Jun? What a terrible choice for that role! He's so puny! I didn't buy him as a haughty heir. He was good in Kimi wa Petto, though. I liked that series as a whole, actually.
