Dramas with a special place in my heart
Some dramas are so objectively good... but I'm not talking about those. These are the dramas that have earned themselves a permanent place in my heart, despite their many imperfections. (uncompleted list)
-
1. It's Okay, That's Love
Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
they are the only couple who date in a way I can relate to
-
2. Nodame Cantabile
Japanese Drama - 2006, 11 episodes
this along with its encores. no drama is as passionate about a subject. I've always loved how both Nodame and Chiaki only love each other because of music, lol (which means they are everything to each other). I won't have it any either way and neither will they. How they reflect their music to their relationship.. It's impossible to find any other dramas with that kind of conclusion, metaphor, and self awareness to their passion and love.
