  • Beautiful World

    1. Beautiful World

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    10

    Truthfully the best Kdrama I have ever seen. Everything felt so real and I was so attached to the characters. I felt their pain and struggle with them.  It's a show I highly recommend to both drama veterans and non-drama watchers.

  • Youth of May

    2. Youth of May

    Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    9.5

    It still hurts. The show did a good job capturing the 80s. It felt so real and to know that the political and social unrest that went on in the show really happened makes it even more precious and heartbreaking. The love story felt so real and believable and the cast was chosen well. Every actor was great and played their part well. It felt like their characters were actually them. Looking forward to seeing the future roles of the main leads. 

  • Amanti della Luna: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

    3. Amanti della Luna: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

    Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes

    9.5

    I love this show so much. Every time I think of it, the emotions immediately come back. The cast was great! One of my fave line-ups so far. The soundtrack was amazing and the acting struck me. So much happened in this show and almost every episode had me choked up. This was my first IU show and since then, I have been watching her. *Wishing for a second season. I miss the Moon Lover gang.*

  • 1 Litre no Namida

    4. 1 Litre no Namida

    Japanese Drama - 2005, 11 episodes

    9.0

    It is based on a true story, which makes it even more heartbreaking. The show is old and dated, but very good. It's both a comfort show and a tear-jerker. 

  • Some Day or One Day

    5. Some Day or One Day

    Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 13 episodes

    9.0

    Huh!.... This show really got me. I have not seen many Taiwanese shows, but so far this one has been the best. I loved the characters so much and the soundtrack did not help the emotional roller coaster I was put on. I love the time travel aspect of it. It kept me really invested in the plot. An underrated show I highly recommend. 

  • The Devil Judge

    6. The Devil Judge

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    9.0

    Jisung and Jinyoug. A brotherly love duo I thought I would never see. The acting was top-tier and the world created by the writer was so good. It really showed how evil and unjust the world can be, as well as the cruelty and greed we all carry.  

  • Mouse

    7. Mouse

    Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes

    9.0

    Definitely, the best K-drama crime series I have seen so far. The acting was excellent.  

  • Flower of Evil

    8. Flower of Evil

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    9.0

    This show really had me hooked and guessing. The acting was great and I really liked the storyline.  I expected nothing less from a drama starring Lee Joon-gi. He is such a great actor. 

  • Boku no Ita Jikan

    9. Boku no Ita Jikan

    Japanese Drama - 2014, 11 episodes

    9.0

    A great Japanese show that felt so real. The struggle of the main lead and how it affected those around him was heartbreaking to watch. * R.I.P Haruma Miura* 

  • Snowdrop

    10. Snowdrop

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    The acting was some of the best I have seen. I felt tense watching it.  

  • Hotel del Luna

    11. Hotel del Luna

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    Another great show featuring my fave IU.  I'm not really into ghost stuff, but this show was so great and I love the soundtrack. The drama was dark yet heartfelt and really tugged at my heartstrings.

  • Goblin

    12. Goblin

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    8.5

    A drama I've known before it was released but never thought I would actually see and enjoy it.  I have a bittersweet love for this show. Although it is fantasy, I had some issues with the portrayal of the afterlife and deity. Besides that, the cast was great, the soundtrack was great, and the plot was great. This show had many tragic events yet had soft moments that made me laugh. 

  • Radiant

    13. Radiant

    Korean Drama - 2019, 12 episodes

    9.0

    Two words: Underrated & beautiful. Without giving spoilers, the overall theme of this show was great. It made me reflect on my past and think about my future to come. So heartfelt in a, "life is precious" kind of way. 

  • Kill Me, Heal Me

    14. Kill Me, Heal Me

    Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes

    9.0

    This drama really takes me back to my early drama days. Such a comfort show that is both funny and heartbreaking at the same time. The show is dated and gives off that cheesy Kdrama vibe, but once you give it a chance and watch it all the way through, you will see its potential and begin to love it. 

  • Tunnel

    15. Tunnel

    This show can be triggering due to some disturbing scenes, but such a great drama. The main lead went through it trying to catch this serial killer. I loved the plot twists, which kept it interesting. 

  • Forgotten

    That ending though....

    Truly kept me guessing! Anything that involves child abuse make me sad, so I knew going in I would get upset and frustrated. I wish this drama gave me more, but I am content with what I got. Overall the acting was great, The characters went through hell, and the plot/twists were interesting.

    Rewatched this show and it still got me emotional. Very kdrama-ish with some of the plot, but so enjoyable. *Youth of May really reminds me of this show in some ways.*
