2017 Top 10
My personal faves for the year. Graded on uniqueness, rewatchability, characters, plot, music, beauty, endings, and how desperate I was for new episodes/how fast I binged it.
*number 11 is a bonus. It snuck in as mini drama part of a larger, less worthy whole drama

4. Prison Playbook
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
The story and characters are fantastic. Everything has depth and an unexpectedness to it. The humour is often subtle, but wonderful.

Unique story and format. Truly interesting.

![My Father Is Strange]()
6. My Father Is Strange
Korean Drama - 2017, 52 episodes
Sibling love, happy romances, an utter lack of the super crazy makjang that usually destroys these family dramas for me. Great actors playing great characters.
-

Korean Drama - 2017, 20 episodes
Crazy fun times. Just go with it.
-
![The Guardians]()

The story. The characters. The soundtrack.
-
![Just Between Lovers]()
9. Just Between Lovers
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
This drama is extremely mellow. The romance is a slow burn. The way the characters' stories intertwine is lovely.
-
![2 Moons]()
10. 2 Moons
Thai Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
It's just cute. No serial killers. No brooding ex. Two people in love with each other, realizing that they are in love while their amused friends watch from the sidelines. Rewatch frequently whenever I need a little light drama snack
-
![U-Prince: The Crazy Artist]()
11. U-Prince: The Crazy Artist
Thai Drama - 2017, 4 episodes
Couldn't leave it out. Cute, sweet little mini story.
