  • Mr. Queen

    1. Mr. Queen

    Korean Drama - 2020, 20 episodes

    10

    I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewatched this kdrama. Every single time, I end up cracking up at all the jokes like it’s the first time. And seriously, can Shin Hye Sun please do more comedy roles? I absolutely adore her <3

  • Guardian: The Lonely and Great God

    2. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    Goblin is such a legendary kdrama. I’ve rewatched it multiple times too. But when I first saw this back when it came out, it hit me so hard that I couldn’t watch any other kdramas for a while.

  • Hi Bye, Mama!

    3. Hi Bye, Mama!

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    I cried so much when I watched it. It’s one of those kdramas where you just can’t be mad at any of the characters.

  • Because This Is My First Life

    4. Because This Is My First Life

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    It’s one of those kdramas where you see rare feminist elements.

  • Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

    5. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

    Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes

    You already know why this kdrama is legendary.

  • Extraordinary You

    6. Extraordinary You

    Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes

    Even though I didn’t like the ending, it’s a kdrama that made me ask a lot of questions.

  • Kill Me, Heal Me

    7. Kill Me, Heal Me

    Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes

    A kdrama with so many hilarious episodes.

  • Chicago Typewriter

    8. Chicago Typewriter

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    Friendship, love, war—this kdrama has it all.

  • Daily Dose of Sunshine

    9. Daily Dose of Sunshine

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    I think if you're going through a tough time with your mental health, this is definitely a kdrama you should avoid.

  • Flower of Evil

    10. Flower of Evil

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    It has a great pilot twist, and the father-daughter relationship really moved me.

  • The Good Bad Mother

    11. The Good Bad Mother

    Korean Drama - 2023, 14 episodes

    A heartwarming kdrama, and you really feel for it once you understand why the mother raised her son so harshly. It’s so sad.

  • Coffee Prince

    12. Coffee Prince

    Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes

    Another one of those kdramas everyone considers legendary. No need for more words.

  • Love Rain

    13. Love Rain

    Korean Drama - 2012, 20 episodes

    I can’t remember when I first watched it, but since it’s always been in the back of my mind, I’ve rewatched it a few times over the years. Especially Love Story (Where Do I Begin)—every time I hear that song, it brings it all back. I really miss the old kdramas.

  • Reply 1988

    14. Reply 1988

    Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes

    Here’s another kdrama that will warm your heart.

  • 49 Days

    15. 49 Days

    Korean Drama - 2011, 20 episodes

    When I first watched it, I was kid, and it was a total ktrauma for me lol.

  • Twelve Nights

    16. Twelve Nights

    Korean Drama - 2018, 12 episodes

    It’s so good, I can’t even describe it. Go watch it!

  • My Mister

    17. My Mister

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    Another ktrauma. You’re missing out if you don’t watch it. (Lee Sun Kyun, we miss you so much)

  • Twinkling Watermelon

    18. Twinkling Watermelon

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    It was so good. Usually, the endings of these mind-bending kdramas don’t turn out this well.

  • My Liberation Notes

    19. My Liberation Notes

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    If there’s anyone who watches this kdrama and doesn’t fall in love with Son Suk Ku, I’d be really surprised.

  • A Time Called You

    20. A Time Called You

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    8.5

    If I write anything about it, I might spoil it, and that could ruin the whole experience, so hurry up and watch it!

  • I'm Sorry, I Love You

    21. I'm Sorry, I Love You

    Korean Drama - 2004, 16 episodes

    Another ktrauma I watched as a kid and cried my eyes out over.

  • Dali and the Cocky Prince

    22. Dali and the Cocky Prince

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    I usually get bored with these sweet, romantic kdramas, but I think I love this one because of the chemistry between the characters.

  • Weak Hero Class 2

    23. Weak Hero Class 2

    Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes

    8.5

    I especially added the second season.

  • Summer Strike

    24. Summer Strike

    Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    8.0

    For me, it’s the best kdrama about escaping the chaos of the city.

  • The Atypical Family

    25. The Atypical Family

    Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    7.5

    While watching this drama, the only thing on my mind was the self-fulfilling prophecy theme, which you might recognize from The Matrix. What I’m about to say might be a spoiler (did the FL, after learning that ML can travel to the past, try to direct the future in the way she wanted, or was everything already destined to unfold that way?)

  • The Light in Your Eyes

    26. The Light in Your Eyes

    Korean Drama - 2019, 12 episodes

    The two main female characters are now back together in Heavenly Ever After, and that makes me so happy. Back then, I used to wish I could go back and fix my mistakes, but as shown in this kdrama, the idea of what if I keep aging during that time and waste my time on tiny mistakes is such a good perspective.

  • When Life Gives You Tangerines

    27. When Life Gives You Tangerines

    Korean Drama - 2025, 16 episodes

    Our new legendary ktrauma. I know we all cried like crazy in every episode.

  • Mother

    28. Mother

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    10

    Is being a mother only about giving birth?
    While watching this kdrama, I kept thinking that my childhood self also needed a mother like that.
