Hidden / Secret Identity

I know there are lots of these lists, but I'm going to add dramas to this personal list as I find/remember them because this is my all time favorite trope.

I know I'm missing a lot but I'll get around to keep adding more as I remember them. Feel free to comment.

  • Alias: Healer

    1. Alias: Healer

    Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes

    10

    One of my all time favorites even if it gets heavy handed in background and bad guy maneuvering etc. The main guy is pretty much superman with the undercover reporter act. So much fun here.

    Korean Drama - 2013, 51 episodes

    9.0

    Not for the faint of heart to start a 51 episode saguek, but there is a lot of fun in the first 15-20 episodes (total guess) where she's doing the whole gender bender thing and most people don't know she's a girl. Actually, I think there are several layers of who am I deception but I can't remember it all...

  • Dragoste sub Clar de Lună

    Korean Drama - 2010, 20 episodes

    Probably one of my first gender-bender style secret identity dramas and it was a lot of fun! It does feel a little dated now 10 years later, but Park Min Young is always a favorite.

    I dropped this at 16/20 though I know how it ends. It feels like an inferior Healer. The guy with background stuff revenge undercover blah blah blah. I think the only thing I liked better was Park Min Young's character. However, she and JCW look much better together
