Wish Upon A Star

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.

you are so right, and more so with so many newer dramas to choose from and for less techie viewers.

Thank you! Especially fun to see how the actors/actresses acted in their younger years and compare to their performances now :)

Thank you! While i have not watched any of those, they ought to be good dramas having seen them popping up time and again on MDL :)

Thank you!

i have not watched Kamen Rider, but yea, Condor Heroes and Journey to the West are classics that don't age.
Gokusen is 22nd on the popular list for 2001-2010 - so i would say it is popular :)

i have yet to watch the lovers series, and that will keep me busy for a while already :)

Cdramas are coming strong, and the standouts are usually the costume/historical cdramas. A number of plots/scenes in AoS remind me of costume/historical cdramas. Hope you will enjoy the costume/historical cdramas in time to come! :)
