Underrated dramas

I have laughed, cried, and felt every emotion in between while watching these dramas. Yet, every time I excitedly bring them up, I’m met with blank stares. These are the hidden gems, the underrated masterpieces that deserve so much more love and recognition. 

All these titles have less than 10k ratings on MyDramaList, yet I’ve rated them all above 8. 

So, here’s my list of dramas that stole my heart but somehow stayed under the radar.
