Wish Upon A Star

I hv not watched yet, but it seems to be a drama that probably need certain mood and a little patience to get into?

Thank you. I had fun doing the polls and analysing the results. And no bingo for me too though I have watched a few more 2022 dramas. Hope the 2022 dramas you will be adding to your ptw list will not disappoint you :)

Thanks and yeah I did a few rounds of "publicity" via feeds..
Hopefully, this article raises awareness of such EOY polls and there will be more votes for the 2023 Edition if it happens.

I was surprised too.. maybe the poll is more for those who watched BL - even in the 2021 Edition, BL dramas received pretty high votes.

I was in a drama slump and Season 2 of AoS and AiB (J-drama) that I was looking forward to, only had me dozing off. Only Under the Queen's Umbrella can sustain my attention, and I'm glad you are considering it for your second attempt.

Other Kdramas that I feel that are less commercialised (i.e less violence, gore and sex) you can consider are:
1) Move to Heaven - Episodic cases to ponder on like Juvenile Justice. Both male leads were great too as the autistic trauma cleaner and his estranged uncle.
2) Racket Boys - Love the camaraderie of the badminton squad and the growing fondness of the city boy to the countryside and finding renewed passion for the first sports he adored.
3) Once Upon A Time - Currently watching and so far, it had been an easy, comforting watch, of a city guy tricked by his grandfather to take care of the vet clinic in the countryside.
4) Crash Course in Romance - Currently watching; gives me the ABP vibe and the FL is awesome.

Since your post for 3 days ago, you should have voted before 15 Jan 2359h (UTC). If KinnPorsche appears on the top right under "My votes", then your vote would be in already. The list is updated approximately every 5 mins, so may not appear immediately after you voted.

Hi, yea, polls have ended.. currently still in the midst of compiling and analysing the results. Hope to get the article out soon.

Nice one - I always have problem with tagged genres in MDL and was wondering how you would wrap up by genres, and you actually did for every single genre in MDL. That's a lot of work!

I think it may make more sense to list genres based on the following 4 aspects to better describe a drama:

1) Time: Ancient, Modern
2) Feel: Laugh, Cry, Scared, Excited (i.e. Comedy, Melodrama, Horror, Thriller), etc.
3) Relationship focus: Romance, Family, Friends, Colleagues, etc.
4) Setting: Wuxia, Life, Political, Law, Medical, Sports, Business, Youth, etc.

There was never a love triangle for the 2 MLs and the 2 FLs, and yes the 2FL's malicious deeds are very trying for me. Overall, it is a drama that touched me.. for the steadfast love and respect from the Zhou Emperor, the admirable love and loyalty from Xiao Dong, and the grandmotherly love from both grandmas, towards the FL.

No worries. Yea, it will be good and interesting if the poll can list Characters. Some dramas have many interesting characters, besides the lead characters. And thanks for indicating your fave Character in the comments.

Ah yes, that, and if I remember correctly, there is another one when WWX spoke to JL on 'sorry and thank you' as well.. Actually, the 'sorry and thank you' scene is quite common in dramas.. I see such scenes not only in TU and AOS

The poll does not allow the indication of drama characters, but only Shows (dramas) or People (actors), so Shows is the closest possible. A pity that while there are some votes, no one has indicated their favourite character in the comment box as well.

It should mean you have added a vote to that drama, and the vote should be included already. At the top of the right vertical column, you should see that you have added the drama as the 1st place.

I did a poll for older dramas in March this year, and the response is low; likewise for spin-off polls. Also did an article in August introducing some classic dramas with links to the polls.. you may want to take a look for reference

Thanks for sharing your considerations. For me my BOTB drama is one that resonated and touched me, and one that I not only rewatched, but also looked up analysis articles and vids

Goblin is at 28th spot with two other dramas (My Name and One Spring Night) with 6 votes each https://kisskh.at/article/best-of-the-best-drama-edition#comment-11658215
And you can still vote for it if it is still your BOTB, though the next review will be next Sep

Now you know and you can still vote for it, though the next review will be next Sep.. and I do plan to check out Someday or One Day

Don’t think there will ever be a single drama that appeals to everyone.. and I do plan to check out Someday or One Day

🙌 Thank you and glad to find like-minded fellow MDL users like you :)

For the list to be as neutral as possible, I only posted once on my feed on the launch of the poll. Used 1000 voters as a baseline. Intent is to track the list over time and do annual review of the results. This is an evergreen list, so you can still vote, though the next review will be next Sep.
