9.0 and above dramas

Not perfect, but my first Asian drama.  So confusing and so blood spitty, but I loved it.  Wasn't crazy about how they portrayed the female characters at times.   And I'll always resent my girl not getting to kick butt in the final battle.  She was a full on goddess for Pete's sake!  Mark Chao was excellent in his twin roles.

Yeah, this site called it Goblin for years so that's how I will always relate to it.  Not perfect and the age gap isn't great, and the humor didn't always land well, but it's the drama that made me fall in love with Kdramas and Gong Yoo. 

One of the few dramas I ever went back and raised my score on.  I mega-loathed the ending, but after watching a bunch of historicals, I came to realize how good this one was.  The acting was vastly superior to most Cdramas and the sets and costumes were luxe.  Ni Ni was a revelation in it.

If it hadn't been for that awful casting for Blackthorne I'd have rated this a 9.5, maybe a 10.  But dear goodness Cosmo was awful.  

Quality drama about a father losing his memory and his estranged daughter.

Early, but I think I'd still like this drama.  Quality production.  Good acting.  Amazing cinematography.  Team Dong Mae!

Excellent production and acting.

Another early drama.  Hubby and I watched this glued to the screen.  Really enjoyed it.  Absolutely loathed S2 and refused to watch the final one.  Would  rate lower now.

Loved badass Chu Qiao and Yan Xun before he was driven mad.  Still salty that they never made S2.

First year on MDL drama.  I enjoyed this but I am most peeved that they have been sooooooo sloooooow with the sequels.

Part of Eternal Love's world and benefited from that with my score

Yep.  Early one.  I watched this week to week and couldn't wait for the new episode to drop.

Early one.  Loved the bromance and team dynamic in this drama though some of it was hokey.  First Woo Do Hwan drama.  And the broad shouldered sunbae!  If I could resist not giving it a bump for those two, would be rated lower.  Have always been disappointed that Cheetah usually plays a bad guy.

One of the first 10 dramas I watched.  Loved these two kissy faces in a super cheap drama.  Would likely rate lower.

Same as the first season.  Enjoyed but would likely rate lower.

Super early in my drama life.  Melodrama with a high body count, loaded with stunning people?  Oh, yeah.  I took such crap for liking this drama when I first joined MDL.  No idea how I'd feel about it now.

Another early one-girl power!

Another early drama.  Was in love with Bo Gummy's long, curly hair.  Would definitely rate lower now.

Very early drama for me.  Loved the darkness of it and the buddy elements.  Hated the team leader and the FL.  Would probably rate lower now.

Rare drama that ended stronger than it started.  I enjoyed but don't know what I'd rate it now.

After revelations about ML have very mixed feelings about this drama that had its own problematic moments.

For sure this one would be rated lower but I was on a Lee Joon Gi kick and loved that they didn't stick to guppy kisses.

Early.  I remember very little about this one.  Except that shower scene where he's wearing a towel

Very early.  Would definitely rate lower.

Loved the first half, not quite as much when it went darker.  Another early one, would probably rate lower.

Sunshine smile Jasper Liu!  Not sure this would be a 9 for me now.
