A slice of life masterpiece showing people's struggles, bonds and growth in tough circumstances. As good as a drama can get. IU is immense in it

A masterpiece slice of life drama. Hyeri is a late teen growing up in a poor neighbourhood alleyway alongside her siblings. Her alleyway is full of wonderfully warm characters. It is all about the small details, the relationships, bonds, shared poor existence, and how a community bonds and stands together, all done in a 80’s backdrop. It wonderfully portrays Korea at that time, poor and growing, with slices of popular music and fashions of the times and world outlook. It celebrates the collective and embraces their indviduality in a beautiful thoughtful way. Each episode is a huge 1hr 40min with 20 eps it really is long but every second is rewarding with it’s depth, togerthness, bonds, struggles of life, portrayal of Korean habits, yearnings, blossoming youth and aspirations within the confines of their given environment and social status. A veritable masterpiece.

Wonderful drama. A guy has an affair which unravels his life. The drama veers and explores fully all of lust, jealousy, doubt, wanting, companionship, as we see marriages from different angles from raw breakdowns to blossoming new ones and all the intricacies and subtleties of their feelings and how other people are affected by that. It is wonderfully observed and keeps you on the edge of your seat as it twists and turns

A great all round drama that has it all. A rich woman accidentally goes across the border to North Korea where she faces the dilemma of having to live in secret. I love how the two types of life contrast with each other and how her relationships grow in this unusual situation. A lovely feel good drama.

A beautiful story of trials and an emerging growing romance at it’s infancy and the awkwardness, excitement, commitment, bond, social acknowledgement, doubts all beautifully realised and played out wonderfully.  It’s beautifully observed with lots of cute moments. Really well placed and acted.

Superb drama, a rich guy can’t touch humans so is house bound in his mansion. A team try to work on a robot for him to interact with, but an unexpected swap leads to Chae Soo Bin pretending to be that robot instead. A wonderful and addictive drama full of fun :)

A lovely romance drama that is often overlooked.  Jung So Min has a contract to marry a 30 year old guy and move in with him and the lovely warm and beautifully played out ensuing drama and romance.

Stunning and moving drama that packs a punch in every way. Park Eun Bin is autistic and grows up to have an extraordinary memory for legal law. At heart the drama is a gentle and wonderful depiction of autism and society’s reaction to it, and her own growth and journey with it too in a heart warming personable story. It is an observational powerhouse of a drama full of detail and warmth. An all round giant of a drama punching in depth, storyline, cast, depth of interest in all characters, journeys,  gentle twists, court dramas and her own wonderful journey throughout. Bravo

Wonderfully portrayed with a deeply involving and insightful script. Delicate in its many observations. A beautiful drama.

Very interesting rich family who live in a spectacular modern house. Lots of depth in characters as the family slowly unravel with intrigues, twists and plot developments that keep you hooked throughout.

Wonderful warm slice of life drama. Kim Yoo Jung  joins a local neighbourhood corner store where we get to see the small tight knit neighbourhood and characters and their bonds, relationships and friendships all play out in a wonderful feel good drama.

Beautiful action drama. Really lovely genuine twists and intrigue throughout. Superb pacing, drama, character development, acting, staging, pacing, all top notch which takes the extremes of the drama to a believable direction. Every episode is interesting and is easy to watch. Lovely side cast too.

Wonderful feel good drama entered around three female and three male friends living and running a guest house. It is all wonderfully executed in a cute guesthouse setting which grounds it amidst all the wonderful friendships and growing romances. It has such a lovely feel good factor about it in it's warmth and interactions. 

A classic for a reason. I love how modern day IU is transformed back in time to Joseon era and the behaviour differences between modern times and the past. Wonderfully addictive. Great sets too

A bit of a gem. A woman going through difficulties moves into an apartment and meets some very interesting characters. The core message is done with such aplomb and verve and the acting, setting, social issues delicately handed, comedy, and appealing characters all deliver an impactful punch of a drama.

A beautiful and moving drama. There are so many deep sad stories played out here in a sensitive reflective gentle but powerful way. Easily the most powerful and emotional kdrama I’ve ever seen and it causes tears many times. Great cast, storyline, building drama, and super addictive.

Warm and affectionate drama of a Seoul dentist moving to a small beach community. It is a wonderful slice of a small rural community with close friendships, bonds, gossip, manners, pace, and ultimately a togerthness which is warm and charming and runs throughout the series. A real welcome change from the normal drama and full of interest, pacing, acting, location, and warmth. Very sweet and  charming romance.

Wonderfully different take on a drama. A woman has ‘cells’ which are like cartoon teddy bears who are her emotions, love, hate, pride etc, and we get to see cut ways of this cartoon world throughout. The real depth and charm of this drama apart from her great acting and sweetness/cuteness was the absolutely wonderful charming cartoon emotion reactions segmented throughout each episode which brought a wonderful depth and analysis to this drama and a heap of charm, aegyo and interest in every second despite the overarching obviousness at times.

A fun drama about a modern woman with her modern attitudes and behaviours transporting back to a Joseon court and the ensuing lovely fun interactions and relationships that follow. Great cast and great fun too :)

Very warm drama filling in all the love tropes very well. Jin Ki Joo is a poor secretary who is very sweet and affable and her boss is also the same. He develops a disease where he can’t see peoples faces but still sees hers at times. It is both charming and sweet. Both the male and female leads are very affable and sweet and really make this drama.

A guy opens up a cafe in a typical suburban setting. This drama beautifully follows his friendships and relationships in this neighbourhood feeling drama full of warm interactions and lovely relationships. A great feel good drama.

A bit of a hidden gem. A married woman meets a new carpenter in town slowly unravelling her won feelings in her marriage. A beautifully and thoughtful drama stunning in it's observations. Beautifully paced, acted and thought out, the dialogue, scenes, pacing, interest and depth are all outstanding and brings a new mature, deeper reflective and interesting take on dramas. Outstanding and a masterpiece at times

Astonshingly beautiful drama that  delves deeply into a tragic story of Uee and her travails. The drama is intense in its portrayal realistically looking at the downs and emotions of the moments, and her emotional journey is hard hitting and powerful. It tears you up and explores peoples position and journey in life in such a delicate profound way. Wonderful.
