Favorite dramas
These are the dramas that, although the score may not always be 10 stars, have to be in my favorites list. I objectively can't give 10 stars to some dramas but I'm too attached not to include them on this list and they deserve to be here thanks to their lasting impact on me.
Summing up: If a drama is on this list, it means that if I were to rate it right now, I would give it 10 stars, because of how much it has impacted me, and how long it lasted in my heart. (Even if (in some cases) objectively speaking I would give it less than 10)

Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
The Reply series... a cultural reset (literally), I can't decide which one is my favorite because they all have that amazing nostalgic feeling, but 1994 is probably the one that I loved the most, if I'm being honest.
The. friendships. are. phenomenal. Really funny, cute couples, veeeery nostalgic because of the beepers (I've never even SEEN a beeper in my life, but I really liked the concept hahaha), Chilbongie, the soundtrack.

Best of 2019, for sure. It's mind-blowing. I can't even imagine how much better it would be had the budget been bigger, since it's already phenomenal.
