Underrated Dramas and Movies that deserve more views
Dramas and movies which are so good that I wonder how they are so underappreciated. Give them a try, you might be surprised.
Note: Anytime I describe a drama as a classic, it is only by my standards.

6. When the Devil Calls Your Name
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Amazing story and acting by Jung Kyung Ho and Park Sung Woong. First time watching a series where I am not sure if I hate or love the MC. I found myself charmed by Kyung Ho's character while hating him. Not sure why this one isn't more well known. Better than many of the mainstream drams, in my humble opinion. Amazing OSTs are a bonus.

Comedy, Business. Unique story and excellent acting from the lead actor, Nam Koong Min who plays an unique, quirky and larger than life character. A slight bromance is a plus.

10. Hikaru no Go
Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes
Sports, Friendship, Bromance. I never watch sports dramas, but this one is so good that it quickly became a favorite. Also watch if an excellent bromance is what you want.

19. My Amazing Boyfriend
Chinese Drama - 2016, 28 episodes
Funny story. I like this one mainly for the acting from Janice Wu. She is insanely good at playing an outrageously funny and quirky character. Watch for some laughs when you want to switch your brain off.
P.S., I believe only season 1 is good because only season 1 has Janice Wu.
