The drama screenwriters are extremely bad at what they do and that's the reason for the cliche tricks they use in almost every drama to prolong the screen time. Love triangles are just one of the many annoying techniques. The occasional "incident from nowhere" (death of relative, car crash, illness and so on) that usually lasts for 1 episode, the standard "table dialogues" - which are supposed to convey the warmth and friendliness between the people, but inevitably end up showing only the disgusting food-spewing habits of apparently ALL the Korean population, the notorious "piggy-back" carrying after a drunken night at the karaoke bar for the company get-together... Bottom line is. It wouldn't be "Made in Korea" if it didn't include at least some part of the above mentioned. I truly cherish dramas that avoid those, but to be frank there ain't many. For the last 10-15 years I doubt I can count even 20 titles... The more interesting fact is that the most popular Korean dramas (least in the West) are those WITHOUT love triangles - Descendants of the Sun, My Love from Another Star, It's Okay, It's Love, Coffee Prince, Secret Garden... Yet the Korean film-makers still don't get the message and serve us crap after crap every year. I used to watch a lot of dramas back in 2016. Nowadays I pick maybe 5-10 titles per year tops (where I expect no triangles, given the story summary) and watch only those. But even then... The ones that are really worth it are probably 2-3/year max. Extremely constant low quality unfortunately. Bit like Hallmark movies - cheap, romantic and 90% garbage.

Title Love Alert
Just like with "The Beauty Inside" once the drama reaches episode 10 the stupidity-meter jumps sky high. It was clear the show is low/middle-class from the start, but I forced myself into it because of Eun Hye. Unfortunately a dialogue and a scene are as good as the director/screenwriter intend them to be. Pity that such an actress got involved in this title. After years of waiting for her reappearance on the screen, that's just nothing. Dropped.

Can only speak of myself and no one else...I have 25 out of 439 rated at 10 which is 5.69% . With only just under…
You have 89 titles rated 9+, 236 titles - 8+... Out of 440.... Is this OK in your eyes? I don't say ratings aren't subjective. I say people rate too high not because the shows are that good, but simply because they are addicted and just go with the flow of the mass. Also... I would never decide whether to watch something or not just based on ratings. Especially here. But when I browse your list I'm inclined not to trust your ratings, just because in my eyes you like too many things, thus it's a sign for me your criteria are rather low. (Nothing personal, just observation.)

worthless and biased? wow.
Well , you can't expect an objective position from a person, who finds every new drama 9-10/10, can you? If you haven't voted anything low, then you either have no basis to compare - thus your rating is worthless, or just vote everything high due to blind addiction- which means you have no criteria whatsoever, making your rating biased and simply pointless.

First of all you need to take into account what platform kisskh is. It's clearly a place where the majority of people are drama-fans (addicts). It's only natural to expect that for the majority of those people MOST dramas will be "great" - thus ratings 10 are predominant. From my own perspective a rating 10 should be given only to extraordinary good shows that stand out as all-time favorites for the specific user. However that's not the case here. I've already written about that phenomenon in a previous post of mine. A quick look into the top dramas is enough to deduce the evaluation criteria of the community. Most new dramas get extremely high ratings: 8.5-10. It doesn't even matter whether they are that good. Just because they are airing at the moment users just 10/10 them without any thought. The problem with this "practice" is that it leads to very crippled rating charts that have little to do with the show's real worth. But let's face it. Even 100 such articles won't change anything, because as I stated in the beginning - if you walk into a BTS fanclub and shout out that you don't like something about their newest song - well, you'll get very angry looks. For me personally - I always look at the user's list and check how many 9/10 and 10/10 he has given. If it's more than 15-20 I just skip his opinion as worthless and biased. Simple as that.
On The Beauty Inside Oct 17, 2018
Stellar drama so far. Cute and beautiful lead actresses, tons of comedy and romance, very nice deeper message about true love being bond of souls (and not bodies)... What more can you wish? P.S. I'm so looking forward to seeing that newbie "priest" get drawn back into the land of sin by the gorgeous noona.

Out of your top 10, I'd say 4 would make mine as well. As for the "list according to user votes on my previous article" - it's absolutely pointless. The majority of actresses are just the ones who have taken part in recent dramas. Nothing to do with "most gorgeous" or anything. Just the ones who people recognize at the moment... As for me personally: Yoon Eun Hye, Jun Ji Hyun, Ha Ji Won, Park Shin Hye, Suzy, Song Hye Kyo, Jung So Min, Han Ji Hye, Kang Ye Won, Lee Elliya, Kim Yoo Jung... Maybe I'm missing some, but most are included for sure.

I love all of this. I keep saying that the characters are soo important. there is a reason why My Mister is currently…
My Mister is "the best rated drama", because it's the best that has been aired last 2 years. Every new drama here gets top ratings as most people put 10/10 on everything (blind fandom syndrome). Out of the Top 20 Korean dramas here 12 are 2018/2017, all 20 are 2014+ More appropriate chart is the "Most Popular Shows". There you can truly find titles that had significant impact on the audiences and the industry as a whole. And as you can expect the list is completely different...

The core of the drama is boring, repetitive and quite frankly not worth it. I watched only the segments with Lee Eliya - such a gorgeous woman, pure pleasure to see her on the screen. Also her character was by far superior to the one of the leading actress. Kind'a sums up what's wrong with the series as well...
