#5 - Yep

7. SOTUS - who knew a show about pink milk would help me find some amazing content, lol. My first Asian drama and I love it so much 

8. Doom at your service - My first kdrama and I fell in love with the acting, the ost and everything about it. Motivated me to look for other works by the actors and eventually I found myself deep in the spiral of the world of asian dramas

9. Scarlet Heart Ryeo Moon Lovers - not my first kdrama but possibly one of the first 5 that I watched and its impact was huge and it introduced me to a lot of up and coming k-actors 

10. My Dearest - I'm watching it right now, and this drama is loose adaptation of Gone with the Wind, and I doubt I'm gonna read/watch GwtW after it. While watching it, I realized once again how much I love being in kdramas fandom. This has a lot of angst but it's a beautiful thing to watch. I'm so invested in this drama, I did not feel such engaged with a drama for a while. 

10 dramas set in at the breaking point/in crucial moment for a country (politics/economic perspective)
