My Favorite Dramas

-
1. The Judge from Hell
Korean Drama - 2024, 14 episodes
I swear this drama was tailor-made just for me. The aesthetics, the characterization, the tropes employed (and/or subverted)… pretty much all of it was crafted to appeal to me in my particular tastes.
Yes, I’ll be the first to admit that it’s not a perfect drama, and maybe I appreciate parts of it more so in concept than execution… but I don’t care! It gave me everything I've ever wanted and more! I will forever be obsessed!!!
SBS GIVE ME A SEASON 2 PLEASE I NEED IT

2. Just Between Lovers

Romance peaked here… as did my tears. This drama made me an emotional wreck. Help.

8. Moving
Korean Drama - 2023, 20 episodes
Incredible how something can be so graphically violent yet so heartwarmingly sentimental at the same time. We love a well-excuted genre-bender!! (Also, the budget was budgeting)

9. Salon De Nabi
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
I wish it was more accessible to stream because it's SO unique and underrated

10. Stranger

Slow-burn crime / mystery dramas filled with characters constantly spouting legal jargon are not usually my thing, BUT when it works it works, idk!!!!

11. Sell Your Haunted House
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Fun premise. Fun execution. Fun time. I’m a sucker for ghost stories and badass female leads, and this drama gave me both! Win, win!

12. Welcome to Waikiki
Korean Drama - 2018, 20 episodes
Sometimes I need a bit of dumb humor in my life idk. Baby Sol the icon you are
-
13. Law School
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
It’s not particularly compelling as a mystery, but as an ensemble piece I was hooked! I became so invested in this study group and their growing bond. Like you don’t understand—those are my babies!! (The soundtrack was doing the most though, I will admit that lol.)
-
14. Heart to Heart
Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes
Very much an “acquired taste” drama lmao

15. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

I’m not usually one for fluffy, youth rom-coms, but something about this worked for me idk! There was a surprising amount substance to the characterization here.

16. Extraordinary Attorney Woo
