Favorite K-DRAMAS
K-dramas I feel the need to watch over and over again.
10's: The ones that became my total obsession and couldn't stop thinking about them for months.
9,5's and lower: Didn't reach the obsession level but definitely hit hard.

1. Flower of Evil
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Watched: 2 times
My mind, my heart and my soul exploded from minute 1. Drowned me in a whirlwind of emotions I never expected, and raised my heartbeat and blood pressure like a tsunami.
Sizzling chemistry, subtle and emotive acting, pounding tension.
I don't think any show is going to beat it from my top-5 ever.

2. Vincenzo
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
Combination of ridiculous and funny, dark and intense.
The most off-charts-chemistry-chaotic-main-duo I've ever seen.
This drama was pure pop corn gold enjoyment. I laughed out loud, rolled my eyes, shouted at the screen, trembled with excitement and even cried like a baby.
Song Joong Ki’s eyes robbed my soul, Jeon Yeo Bin lifted my spirits, and the drama left with a piece of my heart forever.

3. Happiness
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Watched: 2 times
I hate zombies, and I never liked any book, TV show, movie or whatever about them.
This k-drama slapped me in the face. Hard.
The two main characters grabbed me by the collar and didn't let go for the entire drama. The heart-attack suspense, the blood, the neat action scenes, my total rage against the neighbors, and one of the best couples I ever shipped made me go from "meh" in the first chapter to almost crying in the last one. And I never cry with TV shows.

4. Descendants of the Sun
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Watched: 4 times
Best bromance + mens in uniform + medical + action + pushes a lot of favorite buttons.
Captain Yoo Shi Jin is a cutie cinnamon roll and caught me off-guard. Became a big fan of SJK after this.
I cringe hard when they talk in English but everything else is pure fun.

Fluffy, loveable, exciting and terribly funny. A very different hero and love interest. Sassy heroine. Amazing OST. Gave me all the feels.

One of my first k-dramas and still a BIG favorite. Action, politics, revenge... and the best hidden-identity trope of my life. Everything.

Seo Kang Joon nailed the double role and his subtle acting made me fall in love. The tin-can couple dynamic was absolutely delightful. Exciting and makes you think.

8. 18 Again
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Such a beautiful and thought-provoking drama. Makes you think twice about family, love, and relationships. Consistent from beginning to end. Lee Do Hyun was freaking amazing.

9. Dr. Romantic Season 2
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Watched: 2 times
The team work in the hospital was wholesome. The connection between characters, and specially between Dr. Kim and our lead couple, was so much more on point than in season 1 IMO. Loved it.

10. Link: Eat, Love, Kill
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
This was a mix of so many things I ended up loving it: mystery, murder, slow burn romance, a wholesome family trio, comedy, delicious food, friendship, comedy and a sprinkle of action and blood. Yes and yes.

11. Rookie Cops
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
This was so much fun and the group of friends doing stupid things grabbed me by the heart. Light, entertaining, with a nice romance and good kisses.
