It hurts so good. Perfect melodrama for me. It's a slow burn but it worked for me. The leads are perfectioooon in this.

5. Healer
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
A classic, a masterpiece. No notes. The leads are great. The storylines work well even the flashbacks. So many things happen but it works. Chang Ji Wook is beautiful there!

6. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

Such a touching and heart-warming drama! Like a hug from a friend. I loved it. I need to rewatch it.

7. I'm Not a Robot
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
Angst for days. But also funny and fast-paced. I really liked the FML, she's beautiful and plays very well. The storyline feels far-fetched but it works!
-
8. The Glory
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
For me, the best revenge show I've ever seen. The FML is outstanding. This role was made for her. I feel like every character has a personality and a story. It's so well written!
-
9. Another Miss Oh
Korean Drama - 2016, 18 episodes
This show has issues but I loved it. The male lead is a bit one note but I loved him. The FML is fantastic. The whole show is a bit bonkers but it touched me.
-
10. King the Land
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Sorry but not sorry. I loved the simplicity and low stakes storyline. The romance is so so good there. They are beautiful together!
-
11. It's Okay to Not Be Okay
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Feelings for days! I love seeing siblings in shows and obviously this one didn't disappoint. The romance also works well for me as two opposites attract. Also, the show has a really unique "vibe".
-
12. Kingdom
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
I like zombies what can I say? It was very different because it's set in teh Joseon era but it actually worked very well.
-
13. Marriage, Not Dating
Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
Messy but funny! It's old but feels very modern. I even liked the love triangle! Love the leads, their relationship was built slowly and it made sense.
-
14. Oh My Venus
Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes
Another great example of a relationship that builds slowly but well. A bit melodramatic in the 2nd half but great story.
-
15. One Spring Night
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
This show haunted me for a while after watching it. The cinematography is exquisite. The romance is beautiful even though there's a bit a "cheating" let's be fair!
-
16. Signal
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
One of the best cops/thriller show ever, period!
-
17. Fight for My Way
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Perfect friends to lovers romance! I adored the 4 main characters. The story was simple but felt real.

Listen, if you want drama, you get drama. I love revenge and sometimes I need a crazy plot lol. And that's what I got !!

LEE DONG WOOK : that's that! The story goes crazy real fast, you have to buckle in. But LDW does it for me in this.
