Kdramas that deserve more recognition

To be fair, for some time it was a bit hard to find this drama anywhere. However, I believe it's now on Viki which should help.

There was a lot of work put into Amanza, and the fact that it's a mix between (beautiful) animation and live action makes it very unique. It addresses a heavy topic: cancer, so it's hard and sad to watch, but it's necessary that some shows deal with it.

Honestly, I get why this doesn't have a larger audience. But it's such a soothing and homely drama: I watched it while it was ongoing, and it was the best moment of my week every time. I definitely recommend watching it during stressful times to help you relax.

I was honestly surprised to see how low the viewer count was for this one but I think it's recurring how underrated "heavy" dramas are, which is truly a shame seeing how well-written and smart the plot can be. They usually are the most impactful shows too, the ones you think about years after. I watched Children of Nobody a long time ago and I don't think I could ever forget about it.

I thought this drama had everything to become popular, so I'm curious as to why it isn't more famous when it even has a second season. This was a delight to watch, really entertaining with its loveable characters. It was hard to look away from the screen even for a second.

Some people will find this show boring... but I honestly find it captivating, relatable and overall quite wholesome.

Quite famous already, and it has flaws for sure. However, I think it's worth watching because of how differently it touches upon topics that are usually not given the proper treatment in Korean shows.

Beyond Evil is not unknown by any means. However, it is probably one of the best shows I've seen in my life, including non-Korean ones. The writing is exquisite, almost flawless, and the OST is unforgettable. Simply put, Beyond Evil is beyond good.

tl;dr popular in the kdrama bubble, but not enough on a global scale
