Wish Upon A Star

Thank you! Hope you will enjoy the recommended dramas :)

Hope you will get to watch other dramas in this article as well :)

Thank you! It had been fun and nostalgia for me drafting this article :)

keke Full House was the first kdrama that i watched the entire series. i didnt watch as many Taiwanese dramas but watched more HK dramas in the 2000s.. Heart of Greed and its sequel, Forensic Heroes series :)

Thank you! I have not watched Empress Ki but i have heard praises of this drama. I supposed as a drama that was first aired almost a decade ago in 2013, both the ratings and the popularity suffered compared to newer dramas which are more widely watched by newer viewers with more generous ratings.

Thank you. Hope you are enjoying older dramas as much as you are enjoying newer dramas :)

When i filtered by 2000-2009, the five 2010 dramas are replaced by:
#06 Full House (2004)
#07 Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (2007)
#08 1 Litre no Namida (2005)
#09 Hana Yori Dango 2 (2007)
#10 My Girl (2005)

These dramas are from the mid and later half of the decade (i.e. 2005-2009). I think it could be due to general higher ratings for newer dramas

Oh.. Are there three seasons of Heaven's Coin? I recalled only watching 2 seasons...

Do you mean Squid Game plagiarising Alice in Borderland?

Hopefully these classics can be made available with English subtitles on streaming sites so that more can watch them

You mean you have rewatched Boys Over Flowers at least 999 times?!! Wow, that's a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot!!!!

Thank you! The speed that dramas are released is insane and will always need to prioritise and reprioritise :)

It's my usual way of counting.. and yea, the results will be different if counted differently. Interestingly, after i filtered based on your counting, i noticed that the dramas in 2010 never show up in the popular list for 2010-2019. Likewise, the dramas in 2000 never show up in the popular list for 2000-2009. And majority of the dramas in the first 10 spots tend to be dramas from the mid and later half of the decade (i.e. 2005-2009 and 2015-2019)...hmmm

Thanks for the recommendations - i havent watched any of those. Are the visual quality good? Dramas in the 1970/80s usually lack in video (e.g. color, rendering, 3:4), and audio qualities.

Thank you! Kimura was hailed as the “King of Japanese Dramas” then for good reasons, though i prefer Sorimachi's fun, sunny, outgoing and passion for life persona in GTO and Beach Boys :) The C- and K- oldies are worth checking out imho. Enjoy :)

Do check out the 3rd series of the Condor Trilogy - my fave among the three. Have you watched The Condor Heroes 95 (1995)? If not, do check out for "hidden" reference for The Untamed :)

fond memories for me too :)

Thank you! :)

Some doramas not listed here which i recalled watching are Heaven's Coin and Under One Roof - Have you watched those? If you like Bae's persona in Winter Sonata, do also watch Dream High (2011) where he made a special appearance with Park Jin Young + see Suzy, IU, Kim Soo Hyun and Ok Taec Yeon in their younger years more than a decade ago, pursuing kpop dreams :)

Agree with Kitty10. Hope they realise soon the immense economic and cultural impact they have missed out, and do something about it.
