Choosing the best of the best from nearly 10 years of K-drama obsession. In my humble opinion of course.

    Action, love-able male and female leads, romance and an amazing story line all in one.

    I'm a sucker for a dark cop drama, and this one does it so well!

    Psychopath's with a heart? Park Bo Gum stole the show.

    So I may have a thing for crime shows. Cruel City isn't to be taken lightly, it's Noir at its very best.

    A crime drama with a twist. They investigate insurance fraud. Who knew insurance could be so intense? Woo Do Hwan is an obsession.

    Intensely emotional. Beautiful. Heart-breaking. Healing. Lovely.

    If I was forced to choose just one drama to recommend, it would be this one. The romance is wonderful, the characters are love-able and among all this it portrays schizophrenia sensitively, as an illness that can be overcome , straying away from the common criminal tropes often associated with schizophrenic characters in media.

    I've never understood why this didn't get more love. Perhaps it worked for me because I watched it in my high-school years. Either way, this show is defined by the epic bromance of the now uber famous Lee Jung Suk and Kim Woo Bin. 

    Side note: After this show Lee Yi Kyung became a personal fav of mine, and I've been loving seeing him take on more starring roles! Fighting Yi Kyung!!!

    I don't care what complaints people have. The romance stole the show. It was perfect through and through, landing School 2017 a spot on my all time favs. I have no complaints. Tae-swoon.

  • Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

    You may have noticed a shift away from the dark crime dramas. So I'm multifaceted.

    I've never been as captured with a female lead as I was with Bok Joo. Lee Sung Kyung is my goddess. Nam Joo Hyuk was equally adorable.

  • Fight for My Way

    This show. It cracked me up and kept me invested all the way through. And its message got through: Fight for yourself, don't let societal expectations keep you down. 

    At least, pretty sure that was the message ;)

    Reply 1997 almost made it on the list, but alas, it was surpassed by its little sister, Reply 1988. Once again, Park Bo Gum stole the show.

    Another side note: Ryu Jun Yeol also stole the show and he is an acting force to be reckoned with. Go watch his films.
