Dramas I Loved:
dramas I loved for any reason, the plot, the acting, the characters, the production quality. there could be dramas that are rated high in my list but aren't here and it's because I put them because they were really memorable and kind of the first dramas I remember when someone asks me for recommendation. I'll update this list once in while.
I also wrote why they were memorable.
-
1. Daily Dose of Sunshine
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
I cried over this like nothing else. for some parts were really personal to me.
why watch it: great acting from the cast, stories that might hit a little too close to home, even if you don't suffer from any mental illnesses watch it for the ppl who are because the greatest thing this one teaches you is acceptance of urself and those around u. ppl aren't defined by their mental illnesses. let everyone heal at their own pace.

2. Lovely Runner
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
this was done so right. the comedy and romance were executed in such great way. but then there was no way this would've been so loved if not for the cast. sol and sun jae and would not have been so endearing without them.
why watch it: great comedy like I will never ever forget ep 11, most endearing characters ever
-
3. Hidden Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
this is another show where it would not have worked out this great without the cast. I loved all of them way too much. I loved the dynamics between the characters.
why watch it: lovely characters and relationship dynamics, good ost

4. Queen of Tears
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
this one started off amazing but then it went downhill for me plot wise. but I was way too emotionally involved with the characters to ever forget the impact this had on me as I watched while airing. I cried over them like no other couple and I'm not a crier ever for romance.
why watch it: watch this for the ACTING like I wish I could see this level of performance everyday(ep 14 I will never forget you)(jiwon was so robbed for not getting nominated), also this was so high budget so production quality and cinematography is really good too (but I've said what I said for the plot)
and please give me this level of angst every day.

5. The Devil Judge
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
I watched this with so much stress like yohan is after me. on the edge of my seat every minute. yohan and gaon were a force to be reckoned with. I love morally gray yohan. and just how they just became this family I ended up loving. jisung ate his character as a meal and jinyoung was amazing at pulling off those heavy emotional scenes.
why watch it: great acting , I loved the aesthetics, the suspense, directing
-
6. Destined
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
I loved every bit of this. the main leads relationship was done so well (acting wise and plot wise ) not even for one moment I was bored or uninterested.
why watch it: great characterization and acting, pretty cinematography, I loved the story personally
-
7. Our Beloved Summer
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
this is an example of a show done very well. like I loved the vibe I got from this.
why watch it: I don't know how to describe it but it gave me this bittersweet feeling you have when u live life, I felt at peace (I sound weird)
-
8. Love All Play
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
this couldn't make it to my list too without the actors. they were so adorable.
why watch it: green flag heartbroken ppl, and I liked how the plot was about this conflicting feeling of guilt and love, of how your feelings are just out of your control sometimes(resentment) and how it's so wrong to blame someone for a choice you made over not knowing how to handle that unwanted feeling
-
9. Tomorrow
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
I loved the story. like daily dose of sunshine I would love ppl to see this because stories are for us to understand why some choices are made and how sometimes we could be the undoing of someone. it is not our place to judge something when we don't even try to understand. why we should be kinder to ppl around us cause sometimes even one smile from an unknown stranger could make things hurt a little less.
why watch it: story
-
10. Revenant
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Tae ri is in this.(I'm not even fangirling like does she ever miss?) is that not enough reason?(I watched it even though I can't watch horror this is not a very frightening one I'm just not good with horror)
why watch it: loved the thrill and suspense, great acting, this genre is not really done a lot in kdramas
