My 10/10 J-Dramas
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from watching way too many dramas, it’s that J-dramas just hit differently. They might not have the glossy perfection of K-dramas, but they make up for it with heart, realness, and a quiet charm that lingers long after finishing it.
I wouldn’t call the dramas on this list perfect or assume everyone will love them — they’re simply the ones I enjoyed from start to finish. I had a smile on my face almost the whole time, and in almost every scene, I could feel exactly what the writer wanted me to.
For me, they’re a solid 10/10 — because I can’t think of a single thing I’d want done differently that would’ve made them better than what the writer intended.
