  • Boys over Flowers

    1. Boys over Flowers

    Korean Drama - 2009, 25 episodes

    7.0

    This one is obvious. I wasn’t sure if I should laugh, cry, or hide watching this. Warning- many characters will do some questionable actions which will lead to you asking yourself what the hell you just watched.

  • Dream High

    2. Dream High

    Korean Drama - 2011, 16 episodes

    Oh boy. Where do I even start? The main character will act very bitchy in the first few episodes. Though I came to understand her actions, she still made me want to flip a table. 

  • Misaeng: Incomplete Life

    3. Misaeng: Incomplete Life

    Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes

    10

    This show is one of the most relatable things I've ever watched. Though it gave me second-hand embarrassment, I also saw myself in the MC. For example, he didn't know how to work a copy machine, but was too embarrassed to ask for help. 

  • Welcome to Waikiki

    4. Welcome to Waikiki

    Korean Drama - 2018, 20 episodes

    I have nothing to say except for this: you will need to pause every 5 minutes because you're too busy feeling mortified for the MC. 

  • Playful Kiss

    5. Playful Kiss

    Korean Drama - 2010, 16 episodes

    Be prepared for a sore throat after watching this. The female lead is such a dumbass, it's a cringe-fest.

  • When the Camellia Blooms

    6. When the Camellia Blooms

    Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes

    The whole drama basically

  • 200 Pounds Beauty

    7. 200 Pounds Beauty

    Korean Movie - 2006

    It's entertaining to watch and the female lead is kinda cute; however, I found myself feeling bad for her in the first half. She got herself into many unfortunate, humiliating situations. Yikes.

  • While You Were Sleeping

    8. While You Were Sleeping

    Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes

    9.5

    Though the second-hand embarrassment isn’t as strong as the previous ones, it still has plenty of moments.

  • EXO Next Door

    9. EXO Next Door

    Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes

    You can already tell from the title what type of show this is...
