Dramas that Exceed Expectations
Dramas/Shows that peaked some initial interest (the drawing factor being either from the synopsis/trailer/first few episodes/cast/etc) and so, carried limited anticipation, but upon watching it to completion - it was like unearthing a gem! Basically, shows/dramas that at the end looking back at the whole package, turned out to be a nice and more importantly, lasting surprise! :)
