2024 Drama Rankings
2024 is off to a slow start.
As a reminder, I rank c-dramas I watch by year of release. This enables me to compare dramas that are released at the same time and makes it unnecessary for me to adjust my past ratings. I raise the bar every year, as the industry advances. So an 8.0 for me from 2019 is not as good as an 8.0 in 2023; it is just an 8.0 relative to other dramas in its vintage.
