- Ranked subjectively by me -

1. Flower of Evil
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Suspenseful. Poetic. Melodrama. Brilliant parallelisms. Thought-provoking. Bold in raising moral and ethical issues of society.
As I was watching this drama, I have nothing but only respect to the geniuses behind this drama. While I was extremely amazed by the actors and actresses, I also want to give huge praises to writer-nim. Watching this made me want to become a script-writer too.

2. Doom at Your Service
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

3. When the Camellia Blooms
Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
Family. Good in every people. Beautiful writing.
When people say that When the Camellia Blooms is a bad drama after watching it, I just know that those people
cannot be trustedmay just have a different taste. This drama reaches heart and souls, it was heartwarming and lowkey romantic. I don't really always agree with the choices of Dong Baek and sometimes Hwang Yong Shik, but I still ended up loving this drama a lot. I cried lots, I felt happy after watching this, I don't want it to end, so yeah, that made me rate this drama as high as 10. -
4. My Golden Life
Korean Drama - 2017, 52 episodes
Family. Emotional. Mature.
^ That's what "My Golden Life" is. It is a very emotional story of a family who broke down, lived a difficult life, trying to find the best versions of themselves, fighting for their dreams and hopes, and trying to keep their family whole again. This drama will always have a special place in my heart because I've watch this during the times I was close to feeling nothing and this drama made me feel their warmth and love. I hope my friends will also watch this (:

16. The Vineyard Man

17. Chief Kim
Korean Drama - 2017, 20 episodes
Funny from start to finish. Energy-booster!
-
18. Crash Landing on You
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Friendship goals. Brotherly love. Comrades. NK Ahjummas. Addicting. Slow romance that just feels good.
Crash Landing on You has a ridiculous plot, let's face it, but, it delivered very well. It had some ridiculous actions but it was amazing all through out, particularly how they handled the screenplay despite not having a very solid storyline. I was also in love with Captain Ri on the first few episodes and wished for a gentleman like him. The romance while being slow, steady and healing-like, it was sure heart-warming and somehow...addicting, but the best parts came from Yoon Se Ri's new brothers and ahjummas who really stood out to me. The story of Man Bok was also one of its great points.
