5. Dr. Romantic Sezonul 1
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
Unlike the first episode and the title suggests, this drama's main focus is actually not romance. You gotta get past ep 1 to really enjoy this great drama. Some of the best character development I've seen in dramas, ever. I love it so much! My fave medical drama.
-
6. Înțelepciunea Închisorii
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
The beginning can be a little slow but after the first ep or so, it really picks up! Love this show to death! Romance is optional and definitely skippable in this one.
-
7. School 2013
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
Still my fave Lee Jongsuk/Woobin drama. Deals with school life, bullying, friendship, teacher-student connection. The first few episodes might drag but it's a great drama. Loved it!

Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Very emotional and beautiful drama! Will make you cry a lot but definitely one of the best.
