dramas i like / reccomend ⊹ ࣪ ˖

this was shot like an indie film, slow but unsettling, and i loved it. it was extremely messed up and disturbed me a lot but also has me interested in the outcome. i love the main character, kim sum. i understand her unfortunately. the negative reviews of this drama will always baffle me

such a good thriller!! i loved the mysteries and the psychological element, i cried a lot. cinematography was also stunning as well as the acting.. my fav taiwanese detective thriller. and bonus for accurate autism rep

a revenge drama with an actual satisfying outcome!!! the acting was amazing and the love story that formed on the side was really good. i felt so bad for the main character. masterpiece

yes its a very slow drama but the meaning was so deep and all of the characters were so relatable in their own ways... tearjerker. mijeong and i are the same person

i had such a hard time understanding this but i was still so hooked and rewatch time to time. an amazing beginning to kdrama thrillers, the premise was very unique

the definition of a "healing" drama. felt like a cup of warm tea on a cold winter day. so cozy and beautiful. cinematography and soundtrack too, amazing

i enjoyed the fact that all episodes are different stories so much! nanno is so interesting i love her and loved seeing the different ways she presented herself in each school. edge of my seat, made me sick to my stomach multiple times

i'll always enjoy a drama about a cult... they are so interesting and suspenseful. felt so terrible for the main character and admired her perseverance a LOT. the boy characters were also really enjoyable as well. underrated

didn't care much about the side couples but the main 2 were truly something special.. they'll always have a special place in my heart. i love this drama so much and the soundtrack is one of the best kdrama osts

wip: season 2 on the way

the amount of enjoyment i got out of this drama surprised me, i'm not usually into sports based dramas. i think i just enjoyed the main 2 so much that the whole thing shaped into something amazing. the murder mystery couldve been more suspenseful but regardless i still really enjoyed

the best coming of age story... with all characters being extremely loveable. loved their friend group dynamic, literally all i dreamed of when i was their age. also loved the dreamy vibes of the cinematography

i thought this was very thought provoking and showed a lot of the differences between generations, obviously highlighting on beauty standards, some mothers loyalty to their children etc.

oooo i love horror like this. i loved the main 3!! the story was so interesting and the vibes were amazing

i've always hated musicals.. but this was actually alright. i did still skip most of the musical scenes (LOL) but the story on the side was so unique and actually amazing

the first zombie outbreak show i've ever enjoyed and that says a lot. on the edge of my seat the whole time and i adored the main 4.

very interesting premise and so well made. the acting is also amazing. 1st and 2nd season were the best!

might be the most underrated cdrama of all time? i've never seen people talk about it. very cringey, yes but the story was so good to me idk

literally so cheesy but honestly still one of my fav cdramas. i enjoyed this show so much in middle school and even now i still enjoy it, will always have a special place in my heart. i adored the side characters as well as the mains, which is rare for me. i usually find the side characters boring in other cdramas

the fact that this is based off a true story is so heartbreaking!!! ahh!!!!! beautifully executed

healing from trauma will always be one of my fav topics in kdramas. and the bond the main two formed was so comforting. additionally, amazing soundtrack

the classic of all classics of kdrama romcoms. still remains one of the few romcoms i would say i "loved".

one of my first ever asian dramas!! truly a classic and such a wholesome story.. i also reccomend the korean version. but prefer this version 1000% more. start with this version, trust me!

i wasn't expecting this to be as amazing as it was. i was very surprised. unique concept and very interesting. the found family element was really wholesome

loved the story of both of the sisters. and the romance with hosu was so wholesome. made me cry on multiple occasions. both of the sisters were so relatable to me

omg i love psycho lady thrillers, this was surprisingly very good. the relationship between the 2 leads was devastating and hard to explain, found family but in a toxic way? very hard to explain but i love the complexity

the way all the main characters stories connected was actually insane. plot was so suspenseful, i loved it

perfect little psychological mystery drama.. deserves so much more viewers and good ratings. underrated

i love the vibes of this, i think the way it was shot was very genius. and the plot twist was everything! i love detective thrillers like this, why does taiwan make them so well?

a very short but wholesome watch, highly recommended for anyone that wants to watch a quick little love story. i recommend watching in the winter time, it adds to the vibes trust me

a wholesome countryside slice of life series. i thought it was really cute and i loved the aesthetics. joy i love u

this was very cute and comforting for me as an autistic woman. i hope i can be like her some day

aww this was so cute and healing!! i regret taking so long to get around to watching it. loved the side characters as well

was underwhelmed in the first episode but ultimately began to understand the hype. really good concept and also very nerve-wracking...

i usually hate sitcoms but this was actually really good and funny. and all the characters were very likeable. hyeonmin was my favorite by far tho

1st season was great, 2nd was also great, but the 3rd one was rather disappointing. still worth a watch for those first two seasons, very iconic

the style of this was really unique. i remember the acting was one of its strongest points, especially from the main 2. tears were shed

i've never seen someone mention this drama even once. i think it was a good watch, i really enjoyed each of the main characters stories. and make sure you watch the movies after u finish the show which provides you with actual endings

one of the few live actions adaptions to anime/manga that have actually been very decent. captured the atmosphere of the anime so well. and actually have more context on the ending i believe.

went by very fast, i understand the hype completely! i hope there will be a season 2 eventually

very cute romcom!! like most though i wish there wasn't a whole episode or two dedicated to her ex cause i wanted to see more of the main 2.

squid game but with a more interesting premise, the game was a lot more unique. i loved this

actually disturbing and mysterious, i think this was done incredibly well. i love go min si so much in thrillers like this

introduced me to so nees acting, i really like her. this show was short but very well done

people misunderstand the female lead so much and it irks me! not just a romance, a lot of it highlights the negatives about the idol industry which i really appreciated. their relationship was pretty toxic but i understood both of them so much :(

very interesting concept which i always appreciate. could've been better in a lot of aspects but i still really enjoyed it, both main couples were so cute

high expectations that didnt meet quite as high as i thought, but regardless it was a beautifully done kdrama. had sad moments and funny moments, didn't care too much about the idol part of it though

a lot of flaws but overall an interesting story. watched in one sitting lol

confusing but in a really good way. her childhood trauma was very heartbreaking

a romcom that deserved the hype. i'm pretty sure i watched it in one day if i remember correctly

sooo cozy but the plot wasnt interesting enough for me which is why i didn't rate it higher. i really adored the dynamic between the main two though, and the winter atmosphere was very nice.

underrated!! stumbled across this and decided to give it a try, i liked it a lot more than i assumed i would.

good and had me interested enough to push past the cringe characters (the influencers ahem)

i thought it was good but i was a bit bored at times, i only really cared about the plots for sabi and jae il, had to watch the others in 2x speed

very very cheesy premise but i ended up liking it and finding it cute..

i was torn while watching, its somewhere in the middle of being good and being cringe. overall i decided i liked it though

mixed feelings, i thought it was really unrealistic but also highlighted important issues. i really loved ugumori and kochiya. they were the highlight of the drama for me

enjoyed first watch, but it doesnt hold up as well as the rest of the dramas on here

this was adorable, only ranked a bit lower because i wish there was more, when it ended it felt like it was missing something

not as bad as people say at all, sure its not the best but its not bad

nowadays i find it cringe but its so nostalgic. my first ever asian drama i believe, i loved this in middle school. the soundtrack still gets me....

a collection of short films starring iu, i was unsure about putting it on this list but i loved the way the episodes were shot. some of the episodes were so bizarre
