Memories of the Alhambra was my first k-drama. By now I've watched more than 700 k-dramas. But: 2025 was the year when k-dramas started to go seriously downhill. Best k-dramas were the noir crime dramas (Black Out, Trigger, Karma)

In 2024, I found some absolutely amazing C-dramas which turned me into a C-drama watcher. These are: To The Wonder, Meet Yourself, and Escape From the Trilateral Slopes. 

In c-dramaworld, my interest is in serious historical dramas. I prefer actual history to costume dramas. I like noir crime dramas in the tragic realism vein, where we get really close to the characters. I like sci fi, mystery, adventure. Family and slice of life dramas. The found family trope is my favorite. I also particularly appreciate ambitious experimental dramas. And ensemble dramas like Northward.

My ratings:

• 10 rare masterpiece, amongst the best dramas ever made!

• 9-9.5 fantastic, gem, but not perfect

• 8.5 really good and a recommendation to watch

• 8  enjoyable, but only for one-time watching

• 7-7.5 still worthwhile, but I was less engaged

• 4-6 dramas that I struggled to finish or dropped.

Go Jun (in Save Me, one of the very best k-dramas) 

Epilogue:  I mainly do not to like k-pop at all but I like ATEEZ the World EPs-
