Quantcast

There were 6 of 2025 normal-length dramas so far I rated 10, but I still think the best one was

1. Beloved

It's about love, hate, ambition, great expectation, idealism, revenge, and redemption; and how having misconception about love could ruin people's life. I guess not everyone could love in a normal way, but since it's still love, it'll heal wounds even with a great price.

Oh 10s.  In 500+ shows i have rated 5 a 10. The last was 2022.

Actually there's no need for the drama to be rated 10. OP asked best drama of 2025 in your opinion. I'm just giving an opening speech before giving out an answer.

In 2025 there is only one drama that got me thinking "I really, really don't want this to end":

2. Tokyo Salad Bowl

It's  evrery bit as much  a slice of life than it is a mystery. Food is paraded in a very interesting and refreshing way, it's really a part of the story. It's a story about people, about communication and understanding. It's centered on a friendship.

The cinematography, the use of colors, (and the menus), every detail exudes a sense of care and attention. Plus the OST is trippy.

3. Revenged Love

The original series (Counterattack/Falling in Love with a Rival) is one of my all-time favorite BL series. Given the ban on BL in China, I never dared to dream that I would ever see anything like it again. So, getting a remake of this high quality was literally a dream come true for me. It has everything: it's one of the longest BL series out there (yay!!), the actors are perfect, the plot is just right... Just everything is amazing ❤️ I'll be able to enjoy it for a long time to come.

Definitely agreed! 


4. My Magic Prophecy - it's been a very long time since a show has moved me like this did. It was obviously the story, but also so much about how they executed it. The characters were amazing, the cinematography was incredible and the CHEMISTRY. Jimmy and Sea truly hit it out of the park with this one. There wasn't a single episode where I was bored or that felt like a lull, I enjoyed every single minute of it 

5. Glass Heart - best of 2025 for me. first of all, it proved me Netflix is actually learning my taste and evolving it's reccomendations positievlly. other then that I just loved this show. from the acting to the themes discussed to the music in all forms we got to see and feel and listen to. came back to them after a while and fell in love even harder. it also made me watch other projects of the main actor (sato takeru because I loved his acting so much.) this series was all I could wish for at that time and I'm so glad it just popped right in front of my eyes.

6. Love Scout - I liked that it had mature adults acting like mature adults. ML was pretty great!

I didn't want to interrupt this thread, because I really want to know what 2025 dramas people recommend! But time ran out.

Ten Dramas with Secrets that Never Get Revealed to At Least One Character by the End

1. My Lovely Sam Soon. That lovely second female lead originally left Korea to have surgery, and the male lead's mom forced her to keep her illness secret. At the end, when she leaves the country again, the male lead is none the wiser about why she abandoned him, and she tells the second male lead she will never reveal that secret.

2. My Sunshine (2015) - ML was hiding the fact that FL's dad was the reason his dad died and he even warned FL's mom to never inform the fact to FL forever (because he love FL so much and he didn't want to make a compromise by trying to love other woman ^^)

Bonus: Temptation of Wolves (movie) - ML (Kang Dong Won) was hiding the fact that he suffered from terminal illness from FL who thought he went studying abroad. He also hide the fact that she love FL, his step-sister, until the end

These are if my memory is correct or else I could be wrong about some...

3. Erased - ML's mom never finds out her son came from the future.

4. My Team Leader Is Working Late Again - I don't remember the one ML finding out the other was seeing game like missions to win his heart.

5. On Cloud Nine - ML never found out twins were switching places on him.

6. Past-Senger - group of friends never find out ML is from the past.

7. I'm Your Destiny - ML never finds out the other ML is his son from the future.

10 dramas/movies where a lead character goes snowboarding or skiing.

1. Shine on Me Both FL and ML go to the mountains.

2.  Ski Into Love (2025)

The last topic made me think of White Christmas. But they neither ski nor snowboard. Although I think there is some desperate trudging through the snow. I deeply love this twisty, dark psychological thriller / locked room mystery (well, it's not a locked room - it's a remotely located elite educational institution that's snowbound over the holiday break).

10 dramas/movies where the characters are trapped together and need to solve a mystery.
