8. Doom at your service - My first kdrama and I fell in love with the acting, the ost and everything about it. Motivated me to look for other works by the actors and eventually I found myself deep in the spiral of the world of asian dramas
9. Scarlet Heart Ryeo Moon Lovers - not my first kdrama but possibly one of the first 5 that I watched and its impact was huge and it introduced me to a lot of up and coming k-actors
10. My Dearest - I'm watching it right now, and this drama is loose adaptation of Gone with the Wind, and I doubt I'm gonna read/watch GwtW after it. While watching it, I realized once again how much I love being in kdramas fandom. This has a lot of angst but it's a beautiful thing to watch. I'm so invested in this drama, I did not feel such engaged with a drama for a while.
7. Miss Korea - set during the 1997 financial crisis with a new cosmetic company's survival depending on a lovely department store elevator operator becoming Miss Korea.
