Meteor Garden paved the way of several Asianovelas conquering the Philippine TV today. They coined the word Asianovelas - pertaining to soap operas made by Asian countries (mostly Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan) that are televised usually with romance/love as their focal point. I also love watching this type of shows depending on the story.
Here's my list of The Best Asianovelas:
1. Jewel In The Palace - Beauty with substance! Words to describe Dae Jang Geum (Lee Young-Ae) in this telenovela based on Korean history. I highly recommend it to all ages, not only for those who loves cooking and medicine, you will definitely learn a lot from this masterpiece. You can have additional knowledge in Korean cuisine & even medicine but most importantly, the attitude of Jang Geum as a determined, persevering, knowledgable & kind-hearted servant of the palace is a good epitome of a lady which is already very rare in our time. All in one story and character!
2. Lovers In Paris - I found uniqueness and spontaneity in the rich-versus-poor love story of Tae-Young and Ki-Joo. Excellent storyline with fine script, characters (all of them actually!) have superb performances including the lovely scenes from Paris definitely make this Asianovela a remarkable and must-see Asian soap with no "kabaduyan" and not being cheesy!
3. Love Story In Harvard - It was quite entertaining for me at first 'coz I love watching films/programs with an academic touch especially having classroom and dormitory scenes but as the story progresses the level of drama & storyline also shoots up. After the Harvard years as they become grown-ups, complications and conflicts also took place that added up a spice in the story, not just your ordinary show. It also ended up in a they-lived-happily-ever-after kind of thing unlike some romance stories with tragic endings.
The rest are:
4. All About Eve
5. Endless Love 1 - Autumn In My Heart
6. Jumong
7. War Of Money
8. Over The Green Fields
8. Over The Green Fields
9. A Rosy Life
10. Irene
11. My Name Is Kim Sam Soon
12. Love Of The Condor Heroes
13. Couple Or Trouble
14. Dalja's Spring
15. Coffee Prince
14. Dalja's Spring
15. Coffee Prince

"My Name is Kim Sam Soon". I have seen this in one of the channels here where they show korean programs. It has english subtitles otherwise I wouldn't understand it. The story caught my attention and couldn't stop watching it. I just realized I was excitedly waiting for it every week! I wish they will show it again. I just love it!
Really Tita? So Koreanovelas have reached the United States huh?
I also love My Name is Kim Sam Soon because of its humor and orientations about making pastries (I love watching cooking shows ya know?)
It was aired in GMA 7 here in the Philippines and got high ratings in the primetime block. Filipinos were also entertained by the program.
