Dramas For Beginners
Which dramas do you think are suited for a new watcher of Asian dramas? I've felt like they're becoming more popular in the mainstream now that Netflix carries some titles, and I'm wondering which ones you'd all recommend to someone who was asking you which one they should try first. You can vote for classics, masterpieces, ease of access (aka it's on Netflix or Viki), etc. Any drama you think a newbie should start with.
