Everything about this drama is insane, including me while watching it.
-
4. The Blossoming Love

Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
The only drama to have ever made me cry.
-

Lee Sung-kyung and Nam Joo-hyuk are near unmatched in how endearing they are individually and as a couple.
-
7. Angry Mom
Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes
I'M angry that a show with a name and premise that sounds so ridiculous is this incredibly good.
-
8. Fight for My Way
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
I don't think I've ever seen a better friends-to-lovers story. Park Seo-joon's best role.
-

Non-stop twists. One of the most intricate dramas I've ever seen, plot-wise.
-

Korean Drama - 2010, 20 episodes
I love Pal-gang as much as Pal-gang loves those kids.
-
12. It's Okay to Not Be Okay

The relationship between the brothers really made the show for me, plus they really went off with the fairy tale aesthetic.
-

Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
Like falling in love for the first time.
-
14. My Mister
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
I never expected to fall this hard for a show about a man's mid-life crisis. IU is haunting in this role.

Best cdrama I've ever seen. Like a warm hug.
-
16. Someday or One Day

One of the best time travel stories I've ever seen. Plus a great OST.
-
17. Love Like the Galaxy: Part 1
Chinese Drama - 2022, 27 episodes
I love a ride or die couple whose moral compasses are slightly off-center. (parts 1 & 2)
-
18. The Prisoner of Beauty
Chinese Drama - 2025, 36 episodes
That Scene in the fourth episode rewired my brain chemistry. The rest of the show was good too.
-
19. Kleun Cheewit
Thai Drama - 2017, 15 episodes
Your drama wishes it could do enemies-to-lovers as well as Kleun Cheewit. My heart ached for them both.
-
20. When the Phone Rings
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
So good that even with how mad I was at the 12th episode it didn't ruin the first 11 for me.
-
21. The Sword and the Brocade
Chinese Drama - 2021, 45 episodes
"Love didn't just happen to us. We built it slowly over the years, stone by stone."
-
22. Cheese in the Trap
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Unsettling and then heart-breaking, in that order.
-
23. I Hear Your Voice
Korean Drama - 2013, 18 episodes
Don't question the legal stuff too much in this drama, just pay attention to one of my top all-time OTPs.
-
24. Crash Landing on You
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
I didn't expect this show to work for me, but it really did. Solid A/B couples, great ensemble, and just a little bittersweet.
-
25. Lawless Lawyer
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
The second leads NEARLY steal the show, which is saying something when your lead is Lee Joon-gi.
-
26. Lost Romance
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 20 episodes
Possibly the best transmigration drama I've ever seen because (spoilers) the story doesn't end when the book does.
-
27. Suspicious Partner
Korean Drama - 2017, 40 episodes
Ji Chang-wook had me swooning and immediately adding the rest of his filmography to my watchlist.
-
28. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Ohm and Nanon are so good in this. The rooftop scenes, y'all. THE ROOFTOP KISS.
-
29. Reset
Chinese Drama - 2022, 15 episodes
Manages to fit in emotional depth and a sweet romance while constantly ratcheting up the tension.
-
30. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
This drama has it all: Social commentary. Queer eco-terrorists. Unhinged behavior. And I don't just mean the arson.
-
31. When Destiny Brings the Demon
Chinese Drama - 2025, 33 episodes
She just wants to eat and nap! He just wants to destroy his enemies so she can eat and nap!

Strongest opening episode of any drama I've ever seen.

Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Not my usual genre but damn. Phenomenal performance from Lee Joon-gi.
-
34. Are You Human?
Korean Drama - 2018, 36 episodes
Seo Kang-joon as a wide-eyed robot learning to be human is so endearing it makes up for all the corporate politicking.
-
35. The Glory
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Comes with every single trigger warning and I don't know that I could ever rewatch it, but if you can stomach a disturbing revenge drama, this one's pretty great.
-
36. Mr. Queen
Korean Drama - 2020, 20 episodes
This show had no business being this good. So many stand out supporting characters would have stolen the show if the leads hadn't been Kim Jung Hyun and especially Shin Hae Sun.
-
37. What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
Classic heightened romcom reality. Park Seo-joon commits to the bit.
-

This was a wlw love triangle and I'm still confused why there were male love interests at all.
-
39. Queen and I

Thai Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
A queer fever-dream, in the best way.
-
43. Love between Fairy and Devil
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Great character arcs for both FL & ML. Body swap device used sparingly but effectively; Dylan Wang should win awards.
-
44. Love Sick
Thai Drama - 2014, 12 episodes
Somehow made me feel nostalgic the first time I watched it??
-
45. Falling into Your Smile
Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes
Loved the exploration of celebrity/fan culture, and it didn't hurt that the romance was adorable.
-
46. School 2013
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
I already knew Lee Jong-suk was amazing but this is the drama that showed me Kim Woo-bin was something special as well, and put them together...wow.
-
47. My Secret Terrius
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
The leads were great, but it was the ensemble that stole the show.
-
48. Kotaro Lives Alone
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
It takes a village to raise a child. And apparently sometimes a child to raise a village.

Japanese Drama - 2020, 7 episodes
So cute I started it for the 2nd time immediately after finishing it.

Japanese Drama - 2011, 11 episodes
Special place in my heart for this absurd drama that is just as over-the-top as the anime version.
