My absolute favorite stories
these drama are what i personally absolutely love and and adore ( i think top few are in order but the rest aren't , just a bunch of faves )
i love dramas that have a bit of everything in them, an intense drama is what i prefer more, something gripping that makes you go on an emotional ride, that intrigues you, you love hate the characters, laugh, cry, understand and empathize with them, and those hard to get over because you just love them so much, i keep asking myself why did end so fast but of course i blame myself for binge-watching it .
sad endings stay with me much longer than any happy ending ever could
i do have single genre dramas * i will make a separate list for them* that i really love and have enjoyed watching but if you ask me for an absolute favorite and a recommendation they wouldn't be the ones to resurface in my mind but these here are the ones who will be.
these are by order because i should order them however some of them ( the ones at the top of the list) if you ask me to choose between i wouldn't be able to choose
and i think romantic fantasies are my thing// i just totally enjoy them and they are the shows i remember and that suck me and help me escape

3. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
was my first historical drama and i will always love this show no matter what. story is beautifully heartbreaking and definitely worth watching and worth all the emotions you get from watching
ps wishing for a second season where we can see lee joon ki's face he's just too good, also secretly hope it continues in the past era lol, i'll the first one to watch if it's ever considered
lost number #1 spot with goblin to my dearest oops

4. Mouse
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
this one is the best psychological crime thriller out there and I'm heavily biased for it... it blew me away and I probably will be super bored watching other thrillers now that I watched this exhilarating masterpiece ..
also the best drama of 2021 .. excellent writing, exceptional acting and zero plot holes
#2 spot

5. The Red Sleeve
Korean Drama - 2021, 17 episodes
everytime i go back to watch the last episodes i cry just like the first time and i can't stop my tears from falling and my heart from breaking, it's arguably one of the best saeguk ever made and it could top them all, and would've been my favorite if i hadn't been so attached to scarlet heart ryeo, so it's my 2nd fave most loved saeguk
will be with me for a very long time

6. Empress Ki
Korean Drama - 2013, 51 episodes
one of my fave shows every now and then i wanna go back and watch some things and even rewatch if i have time however...
it is rated lower than the rest because the last couple of episodes were so wrong and what happened to my favorite characters made me rate it lower. however it's still worth the watch and absolutely worth the emotional ride and a tear jearker
it was my first ever second lead syndrome, and for a drama to make me feel for the second lead is really rare since i normally always ship the main couple no matter how much i end up liking the second male lead *considering that i decide my ship based on the character rather than the the actor unless it's a bias and i have only a few *

best ever legendary nine tailed fox ( gumiho story) that should be given more attention and patience because oh boy, you're onto one heck of ride with this gem and a lot of eye candy too
this is included in my top top favorites now that i can choose from, it's has all genres you could possibly askk for, the amount of badass and sass in this show is very satisfying, just feels so great haha love all each of the characters, amazing natural acting main lead and also the rest of the cast, however lee dong wook really shines hereee
kim bum's return to drama is certainly not one to miss and this has been a masterpiece and the first show i decide to add to my favorite list before even finish it.
