Dramas completed 2026 (ranked & commented)

Objectively mid but I loved it. I'm a huge fan of displaying closeness without relying on physical intimacy all the time.

Absolutely amazing, I never thought I'd like a makjang this much. Leads were absolutely adorable, perfect balance between setbacks, almost believable conveniences for both sides and super satisfying. Not a perfect 10 due to one certain trope I hate.

Such a beautiful show. Beautiful landscapes, incredibly friendly people and a fun group presented with so much care and humour it became my daily happy place.

Absolute hidden gem. Amazing comedy, stellar acting, great story and relatable characters. Everyone was so adorable I thought I would die from my heart melting. 

Exciting cases, amazing bromance, wholesome team and a rather weak finale.

The best Lost Tomb so far. Loved the relationship between the mains, there was a lot of tomb plot here and even the time between the tombs didn't feel too draggy.

I loved the characters and their dynamics as well as the cases, but wasn't much of a fan of the unscientific unconventional ways they used to solve their cases.

From On-Hold

Despite the propaganda and being dialogue-heavy, it was such a complex and thrilling ride, not only intellectually, but also emotionally.

Directing, pacing and storytelling all had their flaws, but overall, this was very emotional and very beautiful despite the length. Great short series.

Had some really great moments that made me laugh a lot and some exciting ones as well, but that's about it. I'm not the kind of person that likes to be around big groups, so the setting mostly stressed me out.

From On-Hold

An emotional and fun ride that couldn't use its full potential for the sake of predictability.

I liked it more than the first season, but a couple minor aspects stopped me from rating it higher.  Really loved how everyone dealt with their struggles and grew into them without going out of character. Cinematography was amazing and the mains were so cute, too. 

Hopping from side-quest to side-quest felt a bit straining at times and the character's stupidity a bit inconsistent, but I liked the comedy and found it to be an overall very entertaining watch. 

It's always the ending... but overall a good short that didn't skip over parts of the way just because of its length. 

I binged the first 15 episodes but the second part of the plot felt so flat, cliché (even worse than the first part) and lacked any excitement for me. Telling was prioritized over showing and it detrimented the overall quality. 

Great start and loved the cases, but has a draggy middle part and some of the main characters rather felt like plot devices. 

Slow-paced with medium payoff and a dissatisfying ending, this drama  finallymade me appreciate Lee Dong Wok as an actor.. Sadly, I lacked the patience as many things were just too obvious and I really hated the storytelling.

Entertaining and interesting enough, but nothing unique or original, no message. Surely would have been more atmospheric if watched at night. I enjoyed the mains' dynamics.

From On-Hold

Fully deveoped plot, side-characters with more than side roles, cute couples. If the acting had been better, this would have been rated even higher.

A light and easy watch but lacking something to make it truly good.

Liked the characters and their dynamics and wasn't able to guess the culprit from the start. Nice attention to detail. Rest was mid.

It was hilariously overexaggerated. I liked it. 

Cute, but the issues they ran into weren't my cup of tea

Nice and calm with an amazing friendship between both women and delicious-looking food. 

From On-Hold

ML was overpowered, FL over-unpowered, plot needed a blindfold, OST was amazing. 

Realistic story with wholesome friendships, well-written characters and a lot of emotional turmoil. I just wanted something more fluffy. 

The dichotomy between science and mysterism was really hard to get used to for me and it had some serious pacing issues. And the ending was nice but useless

FL annoyed me, not in her concerns but in her way of dealing with them. ML was a big green flag despite the title and they were both so cute together. Last three episodes were way too over the top though. 

I liked it a lot more than the anime but some problematic aspects stay problematic and I do not support all of the messages here. 

If you forget you have a brain it's actually entertaining enough.

When talking about teenagers doing shenanigans, this is what I wish it was like. They're hilarious, stupid and dumb without actually hurting anyone. Beautifully developing friendship. A really nice way to pass time.

Nice tales that sometimes made me scratch my head in confusion. Awesome filming quality and acting for a short episode drama.

The mains have so much chemistry once they're officially in love, but the rest of the character dynamics was lacking, the pacing was inconsistent and the love triangle difficult to endure.

From On-Hold

The drama that deserves the name because this was packed with drama. Unneccessarily so. Everyone is an idiot and the main couple spent a lot of time not together. Chemistry was great, but that's about it. 

Just as cute and funny as the first season but not sure about certain parts of it. They clearly ran out of ideas there. 

With better acting and directing this could have been so sweet and cute, but sadly, it just didn't even attempt to deliver its potential.

Cute and funny with more depth than you'd expect. 

Sadly not what I had hoped for. Instead of a healthy Slice of Life I got some random normal cliché fest with a perfect ML.

Quite refreshing, beautiful landscapes and mostly animal-free, which I prefer. Really enjoyed Leo Wu's humour and attitude.

It was nice, Wu Lei's energy kept the show going and the landscape shots kept me glued to the screen. 

Cliché with nothing speaking for or against watching. Just fully mid, no chemistry but no hate either.

From On-Hold

Visually stunning, no brain needed (in fact, it is advised to leave it turned off or don't bring it in the first place, cliché but make it fantasy. So overrated.

From On-Hold

Xu Kai's acting was great, the OST was good, the banter had great chemistry. Plot and pacing were highly off though and characters inconsistent. 

From On-Hold

A visually pleasing calm drama that sadly went down too far on drama lane with shallow characterisation and a mediocre OST. 

From On-Hold

I really hoped to learn at least a couple fun facts about the brain, but this was a mindless show (pun intended) with so few realism it could have classified as low fantasy. The premise was interesting but that's about it. 

Great start with a rough fall. Going from informed consent and respecting and setting boundaries to ignoring consent and boundaries altogether really doesn't sit well with me. What a disappointment. 

From On-Hold

I can't even say what I was missing,  I missed it all. Music had too much autotune, characters acted like teenagers, the forbidden romance sucked. It was like looking at a picture of chocolate cake instead of eating it. The satisfaction hits different and at some point you'd rather not watch instead of seeing what you can't have. 

Short, funny, cute. Recommend.

Interesting premise but hella confusing. Music was great though.

Somehow liked it more than the first season. Better quality, better chemistry, easy plot. Maybe that's because I wasn't paying attention anymore though.

Cute, sweet, calm, short.

This was kitsch in its purest form but if you're in the mood for it, it could work. 

From On-Hold

Absolutely overhyped. Bromance was good, the rest mediocre. They even copy-pasted scenes from the first season into this one. Also, what do you mean a series in the Lost Tomb franchise doesn't have a tomb? 

From On-Hold

It started off so well then went downhill. ML was noisy, they were both idiots and FL had absolutely no character development. The portrayal of the disability seemed all over the place and educational, the plot an unfocused mess. I wanted to like this, but I just can't. 

Not a fan of 2nd couple and this couldn't change it

Nice premise but weak execution

They were cute as a couple and the last half actually had a plot that didn't just drive me mad. Also, cute kids always get bonus points. Wouldn't recommend it though. 

Now here they just lost track and the whole story crumbled entirely
