Your underrated JDramas of all time!

Ultimate list of underrated JDramas that you feel not many people have seen or that tend to get overlooked, especially by newcomers to the world of JDramas!

Feel free to add anything that you think fits the bill. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

Guidelines:

Definition of underrated. ☜ (Clickable link)
Can be from any year.
Any length.
Not just your personal favourites, must have something unique, refreshing or unusual about them. Different type of story, really good acting, great OST, unique way of filming etc. Just something unique that not many people have seen or heard of.
Just to give a clear limit, let's say under 2500 "# of Watchers" for now. Let me know if you think this should be higher or lower.
Once something reaches over this limit it will be removed & possibly moved to a different list yet to be created.
Must be a JDrama.
No movies or specials.
No popular Dramas, that defeats the point.
To add new items, simply scroll down & type in the search box at the bottom of this page.

Any other guidelines you feel are missing, please comment.
