    So, Jung Ki Sub generally goes with the flow and says yes to anyone who asks him out, asks for his number. But, it seems like for the first time, there's something he himself wants - he want to go out with Jin Woo, but he wants Jin Woo to ask him out because he knows Jin Woo likes him. But Jin Woo is so resistant to this whole idea because he thinks of Ki Sub as a player. Oh, what a chaotic mess.

    Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes

    10

    I'm a sucker for gender bender (cross-dressing) shows and this one was incredibly well acted by the main leads and the supporting cast. ML only hires good-looking males in his new coffee house, so FL pretends to be man to work there.

    FL and ML's marriage was arranged by their grandfathers. ML is the Crown Prince of a modern South Korea, and he attends the same high school as FL. SML is ML's cousin who is second in line for the throne. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this, a slow burn with enemies to lovers trope.

  • Hwarang

    21. Hwarang

    Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes

    10

    I was not a big fan of the FL, but I adored the ML and SML. And the cast of gorgeous Hwarang warriors kept me glued to the screen. Great bromance show.

    An unusual show where the ML wakes up within a game and must complete certain missions in a given timeframe. Incredibly well-acted and well-produced.

  • Lovely Runner

    29. Lovely Runner

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    10

    I loved this show even though I normally shy away from time travel dramas. This one just pulled me in, hook, line and sinker.  Both leads did a fantastic job, esp. the ML juggling his multiple roles as student-athlete, rock star, regular college student and celebrity actor/model. The FL was impressive as well, plus they had great chemistry together. I also loved the SML who had fun bromance moments with the ML. As much as I rarely re-watch shows, I know I will re-watch this one.

    FL has a crush on ML school genius. When FL's house is destroyed, she and her father end up living in ML's house. Adapted from the manga series "Itazura na Kiss."

  • Reborn Rich

    37. Reborn Rich

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    10

    A revenge drama done well with the right amount of fantasy. It helps that I'm of the age that recalls those historical moments that helped the ML succeed as Jin Do Joon. I found each episode compelling. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Do Joon and his grandfather.

    Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    10

    College and surf club setting. Emotional LGBTQ+ drama as one of the MLs has trauma and depression. Camerawork seems shaky at times but is meant to make you feel as if you’re in the characters’ space. The scenes were imbued with symbolism using shades and colors. MLs had great chemistry.

  • The Forbidden Marriage

    49. The Forbidden Marriage

    Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    10

    In the first couple of episodes, the FL's shaman acting was a bit over the top and was not meant to be taken seriously. This historical show has comedy, romance, action, and mystery. The chemistry and rapport among the FL/ML, ML/SML and FL/SML were so good. Satisfying ending.

  • Under the Queen's Umbrella

    62. Under the Queen's Umbrella

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    I enjoyed every minute of this sageuk. For me, there was not a second that felt like it was dragging. Instead, it felt like watching two masters play chess where discarded pieces could very well be bodies dropping on the ground! But it was speed chess, no time to dilly dally lest your opponent gets the better of you. I esp. like the bromance between the Crown Prince and Grand Prince Sung Nam. Little romance.
