    This knocked City Hunter off the pedestal as my favorite Korean action show, and nothing has dethroned it since.  It still leaves me in tears when I rewatch, and the chemistry between the leads is next level.

    I watched this at just the right time in my life. It's mellow coming of age tale about adulthood and family; not usually my thing but it's done exceptionally well, with a lot of stories to tell and pacing that doesn't lose you.

  • Pinocchio

    9. Pinocchio

    Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes

    9.5

    This show just hits so many of my beloved kdrama tropes: found family, corruption/revenge storyline, complicated mother/daughter relationships, catharsis.... it's excellent.

    16. What Happens to My Family?

    Every episode was an emotional rollercoaster. The relationship were all dialed up to the extreme, but somehow it stops short of cartoonish and stays emotional and affecting. I've cried through this many times.

    One of those shows that really shouldn't be as good as it is, but the central romance is just so mesmerizing. Chae Soo Bin is a chemistry machine and I adore her
