Favorites Dramas of ALL TIME

im just a little silly. this is refocused list based on my now deleted "super good recommendations" list. some of these shows are my favorite. im not saying i'd recommend them to just anyone cause i don't think these shows are for everyone. i purposely left out a lot of the bl shows i watched (which would otherwise fall onto this list) because this list is primarily focused on non-romance driven plots. (that is to say this list is for the normies?)
