  • Alchemy of Souls

    1. Alchemy of Souls

    Korean Drama - 2022, 20 episodes

    10

    This is my favourite drama. I love both seasons. Season 1 has great humour and a great storyline, while season 2 has  great chemistry between the main actors.  I give a shoutout to the crown prince and his turtle!

  • Twinkling Watermelon

    2. Twinkling Watermelon

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    10

    This drama brought me pure joy and has a "Back to the future"-vibe that was very welcome. I loved the story, especially the father-son-relationship and the lovestory of the parents. The music was great too.

  • Lovely Runner

    3. Lovely Runner

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    10

    I love both actors in their roles and the whole dynamic of their relationship. The story was a rollercoaster-ride. I would have liked more background for the thriller-aspect of the show but the lovestory was one of the cutest I´ve seen. Music was great in this one.

  • The Prisoner of Beauty

    4. The Prisoner of Beauty

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 36 episodes

    10

    This drama had it all. An engaging and understandable plot, great characters, humour, a fantastic romance that built slowly with great chemistry, very good acting, wonderful cinematography and good music. A must watch.

  • Under the Queen's Umbrella

    5. Under the Queen's Umbrella

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    10

    This was the best historical show I´ve seen so far.  What a great female cast, especially the queen and the queenmother! The cinematography was breathtaking. I could tell the many crown princes apart. Moon Sang Min was my favourite.

  • Vincenzo

    6. Vincenzo

    Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes

    10

    A great story, sometimes dark, sometimes funny! Loved the main leads! I also loved Kwak Dong Yeons performance as villain. Also all the inhabitants of Vincenzos building were hilarious.

  • Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

    7. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    10

    The best south korean coming-of-age drama! It has one of the cutest couples in kdramaland!

  • Healer

    8. Healer

    Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes

    10

    Ji Chang Wook is my favourite south korean actor and this is his best drama. It has it all - a great story, a cute lovestory, action, fun and a good soundtrack. It also features Kim Mi Kyung in her best role.

  • Extraordinary You

    9. Extraordinary You

    Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes

    10

    It features many of my favourite actors in their earliest roles. I loved the "Boys over flowers"-references and the meta-references to dramas in general. Lee Jae Wook is my favourite young south korean actor. He shines with his portrayal of this complicated character. I also adore the main leads.

  • Our Unwritten Seoul

    10. Our Unwritten Seoul

    Korean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes

    10

    This drama really pulled on my heartstrings with it´s beautiful story, cinematography, music and great acting. It´s my fave kdrama of 2025.

  • The Red Sleeve

    11. The Red Sleeve

    Korean Drama - 2021, 17 episodes

    10

    "The red sleeve" is my second fave historical kdrama. I think the cinematography is exceptional and the acting is great from everyone. Lee Junho gives the performance of a lifetime. I wish the ending would be happy instead of bittersweet  but they gave the best ending they could regarding the real life events this is based on.

  • Like Flowers in Sand

    12. Like Flowers in Sand

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    10

    One of the most realistic dramas. The leads are amazing.

    13. Family by Choice

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    I really loved the relationship of all the "siblings" in this. It was funny and heartwarming. I especially loved the younger brother and his story.

  • Dali and the Cocky Prince

    14. Dali and the Cocky Prince

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    Perfect mixture of comedy, romance and thriller. The lead couple is one of the best in dramaland. The cinematography is excellent. a must-watch.

  • The Double

    15. The Double

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes

    9.0

    Although a bit overdramatic in certain parts, this story keeps the suspense up the whole time.The female characters are amazing because they are rather black nor white, have strong determination and their own goals to achieve. The lead couple has amazing chemistry, great dialogies and a very healthy relationship that builds over time. It´s one of these dramas you can watch multiple times. Also the cinematography is excellent. A must-watch!

  • Twenty-Five Twenty-One

    16. Twenty-Five Twenty-One

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    Another excellent coming-of-age drama. The ending made it even more nostalgic and quite realistic. All good things come to an end. The soundtrack is one of the best OST.

    19. When I Fly Towards You

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    Super cute coming-of-age story with very little angst and a very healthy relationship between the two main couples. Loved all five of the friends. Each one gets his/her spotlight in this.

  • Rain or Shine

  • Happiness

    23. Happiness

    Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    9.0

    This is less convoluted than "Sweet home" with a similar premise. I love the main actors in this. 

  • Moving

    24. Moving

    Korean Drama - 2023, 20 episodes

    9.0

    A fantastic drama that spawns maby different genres as it goes on. The cast is stellar.  But the children's story was the one that was at the heart of it. A milestone in kdramaland that deserves all the praise it got.  

  • The Devil Judge

    25. The Devil Judge

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    9.0

    The plot is interesting throughout. The characters are grey and you keep on guessing their true agenda till the very end. The action scenes, the cinematography, the acting and he music are great. The kdrama has a gothic feel in some parts. The most interesting thing is that this dystopic society doesn't seem too different from what we can witness in certain parts of our World right now.

    And Ji Sung rocks in this!

  • My Roommate Is a Gumiho

    26. My Roommate Is a Gumiho

    One of the funniest south korean fantasy dramas. Loved all the leads. 

  • May I Help You

    27. May I Help You

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    I loved the story which had a good amount of humour but also heartbreak and tears. The leads had great chemistry and acted very well. I also loved the side characters - especially the uncles.

  • Death's Game

    28. Death's Game

    Korean Drama - 2023, 4 episodes

    I loved the concept of the show. The acting was amazing. A very important message was provided.  And what a great cast!

  • Forever Love

    29. Forever Love

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 28 episodes

    I loved the leads in this coming-of-age drama! You accompany them into adulthood and cry and laugh with them. I´ve never seen more natural acting in a drama.

  • Mad Dog

    30. Mad Dog

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    I love everything about this drama. It combines suspense, action, bromance, comedy and a little romance with a great plot that never slows down and great acting from everyone. 

  • One Spring Night

    31. One Spring Night

    Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes

    9.0

    Despite playing  the same (great) Racheal Yamagata-songs over and over, I loved this for its clever plot and realistic approach. I also loved the lead actors and the supporting cast. I think this one is a little bit better than the almost equally great "Something in the rain". But the female lead is stronger and here you won´t find a mother that gives you secondary trauma;-)

  • Our Beloved Summer

    32. Our Beloved Summer

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    Just sweet and great acting!

  • I'm Not a Robot

    33. I'm Not a Robot

    The story may sound strange but the drama works. It has a great cast and the main couple has great chemistry.

  • True Beauty

    34. True Beauty

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    9.0

    The premise is a bit nonsensical... I mean, the leading actress is beautiful without make-up as well. But despite that, this is quite entertaining. I loved the second couple with their roles reversed!
