1. Hospital Playlist

'found family' is one of the best tropes and you can't convince me otherwise!
-
5. Goblin
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
why is the sky blue? why is the grass green? why is goblin so good?
-
6. Descendenții Soarelui
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
i have in my heart a special pedestal for no one but for this one.
-
7. Tomorrow
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
makes you a better person

8. Vara Noastră Iubită
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
one of the best-written k-drama romances of all time, you can't change my mind
-
9. Fauna din Itaewon
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
just watch this and thank me later
-
10. Mr. Sunshine
Korean Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
the only quadruple threat that matters: cast, characters, ost, plot
-
11. Hotel del Luna
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
fun fact: we were hella robbed of more yoona and hyunjoong T-T
-
12. Dragoste printre Rânduri
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
books, best friends to lovers and lee jong suk, i honestly feel like this drama was written for me
-
13. Chicago Typewriter
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
hands down the best concept i've ever seen in a k-drama!
-
14. Doctorul Fugar

i can overlook so many things about this one and only care about how entertaining it was.

Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
yes, it deserves the love it gets
-

Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
the good kind of butterflies!
-
17. O Iubire ca-n Afaceri
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
tropes done right, tooth-rotting stuff, yet after the initial adrenaline rush, you find that it's not even that memorable...
-
18. Aleargă!
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
the ultimate healing k-drama!
-
19. Regele, Monarhul Etern
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

-
21. Numele Meu
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
awe-f**king-some!
-
22. The Hymn of Death
Korean Drama - 2018, 6 episodes
ahhhhhh the feels!
-
23. W
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
it sort of surprises me how low this is. back when i watched it for the first time, i thought this would be my favorite of all time... it doesn't seem like it these days.
-
24. Moon Embracing the Sun
Korean Drama - 2012, 20 episodes
#sageuk goals

Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
please watch this! it's unlike anything you've ever seen.
-
26. Dragoste din Stele
Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
i don't get why people like the annoying, obnoxious female lead trope that much... what i did appreciate in cheon song-yi is her growth throughout the series. she even became less obnoxious towards the end. honorable mention to how amazing shin sung-rok was as the antagonist!
-
27. Youth of May
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
ahhhh my poor heart, the pace gets a bit slow halfway through it tho
-
28. You Drive Me Crazy
Korean Special - 2018, 4 episodes
a hidden gem!

Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
as someone who is not into video games, this one really caught my attention
-
30. Oh My Ghostess
Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes
i honestly didn't expect to have so much fun with this one
-
31. Sunetul Magiei
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
i liked the different genres combo a lot, but i don't care much for the characters... so much deus ex machina that it could be bottled up
-
32. Aterizare Forțată în Brațele Tale
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
good enough
-
33. Do You Like Brahms?
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
i know it's a slow drama, but please give it a chance cause it's so heartfelt and raw and poignant in its message and emotions.
-
34. Casa Dulce Casa
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
expected more on the horror side. the discussion on humanity was really good.
-
35. Tale of the Nine-Tailed
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
the horror scenes were really good, but i couldn't help but think of it as a goblin rip-off
-
36. Atingerea Inimii
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
for a k-drama who doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't mind not being mind-blowing, this was fun
-
37. Fabrica de Bani
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
a big budget, yet cheap-a** remake
-
38. Affection
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
that one time i was so darn invested in the political side-plot
-
39. Vincenzo
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
here's a hot take: hong chae-young is annoying.
-
40. Facultatea de Drept
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
i hate myself for not finishing this. while it may be a bit slow, i still think the story is fabulous, the characters endearing and the plot very well-crafted.
-
41. Prietena Surorii Mele
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
-
42. Dragoste Urbană
Korean Drama - 2020, 17 episodes
at least two of the main characters regressed instead of progressed in their character development.
-
43. Cheese in the Trap
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
settling for mediocrity
-
44. Jocul Calamarului
Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes
not as good as everyone deems it to be, tbh
-
45. While You Were Sleeping
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
unpopular opinion here! i really forced myself to finish this, skimming through the last 3 episodes...
-
46. The Kingdom of the Winds
Korean Drama - 2008, 36 episodes
my first favorite k-drama!
-
47. Extracurricular
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
this is a real case of 'it's not you, it's me'. i just wasn't in the right mood for the dark and mature themes here.
-
48. Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung
Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
would've been the perfect sageuk if it didn't have the romance. seriously, it was cheap and it wasn't even that well-acted (especially on his side). the whole discourse on the importance of historians was the best part of the entire series.
-
49. Heartstrings
Korean Drama - 2011, 15 episodes
i still think of this pretty fondly because it's the k-drama that made me love k-dramas, but i do agree it's mediocre
-
50. Greutățile Vieții
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
couldn't get into it... another hot take: bok-joo isn't that likeable...
-
51. The Great Seducer
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
ahh the painful things i did out of my passionate love for woo do-hwan
-
52. Mad Dog
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
'what i want' may be one of my favorite, if not my absolute favorite, ost of all time
-
53. City Hunter
Korean Drama - 2011, 20 episodes
i'm tempted to rewatch it sometime... i don't know if i should.
-
54. Dream High
Korean Drama - 2011, 16 episodes
enjoyable, yet settling for mediocrity so nonchalantly
-
55. 49 Days
Korean Drama - 2011, 20 episodes
i'd probably enjoy this more if i watched it these days.
-
56. Boys Over Flowers
Korean Drama - 2009, 25 episodes
i am very much emotionally-attached to Hana Yori Dango, maybe that's why i still see some potential here and there
-
57. Chiar Nu Merită
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
nope, sitcoms ain't my thing... this was the final nail in that coffin.
-
58. Arthdal Chronicles Part 1: The Children of Prophecy
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
incredible high concept world-building, but hella annoying characters and bad pace
-
59. I Know But
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
the side characters were fabulous tho
-
60. Summer Guys
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
cheap, watched it for the cast and cause it was short.=
-
61. Tree With Deep Roots
Korean Drama - 2011, 24 episodes
i was waaaaay to young to watch this when i did, so i didn't understand anything, hence this low rating.
-
62. Dokgo Rewind
Korean Drama - 2018, 20 episodes
sehun's pretty much type-cast in those silent handsome cool bad boy roles, whose only personality trait is being a 'handsome cool bad boy'
-
63. Ești Chiar Chipeș!
Korean Drama - 2009, 16 episodes
cheap and cringey, even my 10 year old self noticed it.
-
64. A Man Called God
Korean Drama - 2010, 24 episodes
i don't think it was the proper time for me to watch this, which i why i ended up dnf-ing and not liking it
-
65. Because It's The First Time
Korean Drama - 2015, 8 episodes
what a waste of a nice cast
-
66. Alarmă de Dragoste Sezonul 1
Korean Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
-
67. Moștenitorii Chaebolurilor
Korean Drama - 2013, 20 episodes
i loathe it so ardently
