Favorite Korean Dramas

11/10 — High quality production. Great Acting. Good Script.

The .5 deduction from my initial rating was because it felt slow in the middle that’s why I put in on-hold for a time being. But right decision to go back. The story picks up again! It’s one of the best korean entertainment has ever put out!

I initially watched this for Kang Seungyoon because I really like WINNER. But I enjoyed it so much. I stayed even when his character left already. This has to be one of the funniest kdramas! And it’s also a suberb slice of life drama!

9.75/10 — A great procedural crime show!

I wished to have a 2nd season for so long but thinking about it I hated the ending of the first season. the writer not being brave enough to lose a main character, using fantastical element to save him, ruined the last bit. 

ACTING 10/10!! SCRIPT 9.75/10!!

This is a character driven crime thriller. It’s well executed and it deserves all the awards!

I used to not give a fuck about zombie dramas / movies. I personally don’t find them frightening. But SK knows how to deliver a well written and produced zombie show/film.

I watched this twice or thrice already. I commend it in all aspects. The cliff hanger deserves a round of applause!

The cast delivered their roles flawlessly! Yeo Jingoo is a force to be reckoned with. He really grew into a highly skilled actor. That scene of the king and the clown’s meeting is forever etched in my brain. It’s so iconic!

This had me rolling from laughter! It’s one of the funniest kdramas! Shin Hyesun is an amazing actress!! Versatility, she has it! 

This is my go-to when I want angst or time travel goodness. That being said it has a high rewatch value!

Exploring the idea of Korean monarchy still existing in modern time. Arranged Marriage. Cohabitation. Royal ML x Commoner FL. Grumpy ML x Sunshine FL. Enemies to Lovers.

Looking back, the creatives of this drama doesn’t fall behind with what we have right now. It has beautiful set design, styling esp wardrobe, and cinematography! Script might not hold up in the societal standards of today but this makes me nostalgic. This is my comfort watch and I rewatch it the most out of all in this list.

➳ coming-of-age goodness
➳ relatable, motivating, inspiring, comforting, nostalgic
➳ the dialogues
➳ such a fun squad they have
➳ im a simp for kim taeri and rightfully so cause she always ALWAYS delivers
➳ instantly one my favorites of all time

A romance thriller drama that I would recommend! In my opinion, the last episode isn’t necessary thus I deducted a point.

My new favorite trio! I laughed with and at them. I cried with and for them. What they have makes me reflect on the friendships I built and cherish. This show is very relatable and comforting to me.
