I won't recommend dramas that i know most of dramalovers have been or will watch.
These dramas needs some attention:

1. SMILE, YOU
- Not famous, most people didn't know about it. But this drama is my all-time fave! It never bores me.
 It is about a stubborn heiress and her family who suddenly got bankrupt and without a choice, lives with their chaffeur's family.
 A Good family drama and the ROMANCE is SUPERB! :)
 IN THIS DRAMA, YOU WIILL REALIZE WHY FIRST LOVE DO NOT WORK MOST OF THE TIME. :)

2. THE BRIDAL MASK/GAKSITAL
- No words can describe how amazing this drama is. TWO THUMBS UP!
The action and suspense and the friensdship here.. Ohmy. Just watch it!
Of course, i am bias here. This is where my joo won oppa and me met. ^^
But serously, you are insane if you wont like this drama after you watch it.

3. KING2HEARTS


4. STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
- This drama let you realize what an everlasting love means. A love that destined to be for you.
Prepare box of tissue.

5. OJAKGYO BROTHERS
- The title says it all. The bromance here are awesome and the parenting skills.
Of course, My joo won is the highlight of the show!

1) 7 First kisses 

- Okay, I don't highly recommend this one, but this drama is perfect when you're having finals and you just want a little break. Each episode is 10 minutes long.

2) Angry Mom

- This one is a school drama and it's pretty intense! It focuses on the problems of different students, on corruption, on bullying, friendship etc. Really interesting and fun to watch!

3) Cruel City

- You just have to binge watch this drama! It's a crime/action drama and the fight scenes are well done, there's a lot of suspense in it and the acting is so good! Don't watch this one when you need to learn for an exam though!

4) Descendants of the Sun

- Love this drama, some people I know who don't really like Korean dramas, totally loved this drama. It's not your usual Korean drama. Some say it's overrated but I disagree with that, You just need to watch it and form an opinion about this yourself. 

5) Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

- Really good historical drama with many handsome leads! You'll fall in love with most of the characters

Ooh, I like this thread--will have to see if there are any hidden gems listed!

My top five

1. It's Okay That's Love
-- Realistic and a beautifully, simple drama (with a bit of angst.) Slice-of-life for the most part with very very real and relatable characters.

2. King2Hearts
It's been a long time, but I remember it's a super solid and interesting drama, even down to the politics. Love the character dynamics.

3. Missing Noir M
Love the classier feel of this OCN drama (and awaiting a second season!) It's an episodic crime drama but it also made me cry at the end of many cases.

4. Thank You
Super sweet and mellow. It's a bit slice-of-lifey but mostly on the drama side, and the relationships between the characters is beautiful.

5. Signal
Probably been listed a bunch already but it's amazing. A really great mix of drama, crime, suspense, and fantasy (let's not get into the time travel mechanics though...)

Bonus: Evil Minds (Chinese)
Firstly, the episodes are only 30 minutes long, so that's great. If you love crime and psychological games, an can handle a bit of blood in some gruesome cases, I think you ASBOLUTELY MUST WATCH this drama.
