Bodyguard Shows Ranked w/ Short Reviews

Loved this the first time I watched it. All the characters, including the side characters, add interest to the drama. I'm always a fan of Ji Chang Wook, although Park Min Young is not my favorite. It was one of the first dramas I watched. I started watching it a second time and haven't finished it yet, but upon this second watch, I may decrease my rating a bit now that I have many more dramas under my belt.

This was fantastic! The chemistry was intense even though the skinship was very little. I binge watched it and it kept me guessing the entire show. Gorgeous scenery and both leads were absolutely beautiful. 

Although others were upset by the open ending, I didn't mind it even though I usually hate them. I thought it made sense in the flow of the story. I really enjoyed the acting in this one; the ML was fantastic. Chemistry was palpable.

Started out fantastic--a super interesting look at a possible future in organ donation and technology. The last half of the series was less fantastic, although still worth watching.

Not technically a "bodyguard" trope; however, he spends a lot of the drama pretending to be her bodyguard and does actually protect her often.

A fan Japanese drama. The male lead was endearing.

Amazing acting and could have been fantastic. It started out strong, but lost its luster halfway through. Still a strong drama worth watching.

I had saved watching this one for a long time because Ji Chang Wook is my favorite Kdrama actor and wanted to savor it. I had high hopes based on the reviews. It was quite disappointing, mostly in the plot. The FL spent the vast majority of the drama crying and as a weak victim. It got tiring and I wasn't ever quite sure what the ML saw in her. The chemistry was surprisingly lacking from two normally strong actors.

Not sure how or why I managed to finish this—or why I rated it a 6. I can't remember but it must have had some redeeming qualities. I think I liked both the leads.
