Emmy's Favorites of ALL TIME
im just a little silly. this is refocused list based on my now deleted "super good recommendations" list. some of these shows are my favorite. im not saying i'd recommend them to just anyone cause i don't think these shows are for everyone. i purposely left out a lot of the bl shows i watched (which would otherwise fall onto this list) because this list is primarily focused on non-romance driven plots. (that is to say this list is for the normies?)
-
1. Weak Hero Class 1
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
probably the drama of all time. definitely one i'd suggest to anyone just for the sake of making them watch it and suffer with me.
-
2. Move to Heaven
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
a good show anyone can watch. not too violent/graphic like my other faves. just a good show.
-
3. Extracurricular
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
something about it was so gripping to me. you hate the main characters so much but want to see more. you just can't look away.
-
4. Tomorrow
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
one of my favorites. i've rewatched this one about as much as i've rewatched whc1. tricky subject matter but i enjoyed it nonetheless.
-
5. The Eighth Sense
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
the only bl i'm including on this list because it's so strongly story-driven and there's so much more to this show than "oh it's a bl". please give it a chance. i cried (which doesn't happen often).
-
6. Monster
Japanese Movie - 2023
absolutely shocked me on first viewing. this movie was incredible to watch.
-
7. All About Lily Chou Chou
Japanese Movie - 2001
probably the movie of all time? sorry. not elaborating.
-
8. Bloodhounds
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
a really good show that (due to production issues) started to flop in the second half. but it's still extremely enjoyable.
-
9. Strangers from Hell
Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
a show which felt so boring yet so gripping at the same time....i want people to watch it if only to discuss wtf happened
-
10. Connect
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
the ending kinda pissed me off but like right up until then the show was REALLY good and had my complete focus
-
11. Sweet Home
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
a very soft spot of mine. i'll always be a lover of s1 of this show. but i personally do not enjoy s2
-
12. Imawa no Kuni no Alice
Japanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
wow!! this show...is so cool. it's so enjoyable!! i love a good killing game. s1+s2 are both very good. the quality did not dip for s2 (a rare find tbh).
