  • Prison Playbook

    1. Prison Playbook

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    10

    This is an excellent drama about a baseball player who is sent to prison after attacking someone who attempted to sexually assualt his sister. Written and directed by one of the best teams that make the Reply series (below). It's about the lives of the people who surround him in prison, both guards and prisoners. LONG EPISODES! 1.5 - 2 hours.

    Stars my favourite actor Jung Kyung Ho.

    2. Reply 1997

    Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes

    9.0

    The first in the Reply series which is a delightful trip down memory lane. You travel through their memories and try to guess who the husband is. 

    Series goes 1997 - 1994 - 1988 (1988 is the best and not available on Netflix)

    I haven't watched 97 on Netflix but I believe they changed the music a little but should still be good. This one's past is set in high school.

    Second in the series, set in a boarding house during university years. The parents are the same throughout but their children change.

    Longer episodes. 

  • Boys Over Flowers

    4. Boys Over Flowers

    Korean Drama - 2009, 25 episodes

    9.0

    A "classic" this was my first k-drama. If you watch all the good ones at the beginning it's hard to watch things like this - super tropey and fun. 

    About a girl who fights bullies and then falls for one of them. Also she can not swim but earns a swimming scholarship. Drama crack.

  • The Producers

    5. The Producers

    Korean Drama - 2015, 12 episodes

    8.5

    This one is pretty fun and cute. It's basically like The Office Korea style - a mockumentary of a broadcasting company. Pretty sure it is 90 minute episodes.

  • Healer

    6. Healer

    Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes

    9.0

    A nice action rom-com starring Ji Chang Wook (beautiful human). Good mix of genres a little political. Features a barrister barista I should really tell the other Rachel about!

  • Full House

    7. Full House

    Korean Drama - 2004, 16 episodes

    7.5

    Actual classic about a woman whose house is stolen and sold to a celeb and then she ends up in a fake relationship with him. Obviously they end up falling in love.

  • Hyori's Bed And Breakfast

    8. Hyori's Bed And Breakfast

  • It's Okay, That's Love

    9. It's Okay, That's Love

    Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes

    9.0

    Watched this one recently, it is super popular. It's a rom-com about mental health professionals, a share house full therapists and patients and it's a little cray cray. Overall I liked it.

  • Good Morning Call

    10. Good Morning Call

    Japanese Drama - 2016, 17 episodes

    8.5

    This is a cute Japanese high school forced cohabitation drama.

  • Underwear

    11. Underwear

    Japanese Drama - 2015, 13 episodes

    7.5

    Another cute Japanese drama about a girl who is obsessed with fabric and gets her first job at an Atelier (I'm pretty sure the Netflix title is Atelier)

  • Strong Woman Do Bong Soon

    12. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    9.5

    Strong Girl Bong Soon on Netflix.

    This one is super cheesey and cute. It's about a girl with super strength who becomes a body guard for a gaming company CEO. There is also a kidnapping subplot and some questionable humor.

  • Oh My Ghost

    13. Oh My Ghost

    Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes

    8.0

    A shy girl who can see ghosts gets possessed by a virgin ghost that is attempting to lose her virginity and failing. It's pretty fun. I really like Park Bo Young - she's in this and the one above, she's really adorable. and the other actress Kim Seul Gi is great too.

  • The Sound of Your Heart

    14. The Sound of Your Heart

    Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes

    9.0

    Pure comedy - nice 30 minute episodes that will give you a laugh. Features my favourite Korean actress as the girlfriend - Jung So Min.
