*sort in no particular order and list is not completed.
**thank you to all the subbers for bringing these dramas to wider audience <3
***my advice: do NOT binge-watch these dramas, especially the slice-of-life ones. only watch 1 or 2 episodes a day to savor the taste, let every episode sink in.

kind of stopped updating since mid-2023. any suggestions are welcomed in the comments.
