1. Dress Sleeved Red
Korean Drama - 2021, 17 episodes
A bittersweet reality of a love story that has broken me to the end. A well deep dive of the patriarchal system from a woman's perspective, questioning of her role and her independence. Does one being in love disrupts your independence and freedom?

2. Healer
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
This show is everything to me. Both main leads are strong, three dimensional, and well emotionally powerful to make me feel resonated with their motivations and morals. The story is well rounded and story's progression is such a delight and a rollercoaster of emotions. I love it so much.
Min young and Chang Wook's best roles for SURE

3. Because This is My First Life
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
As a sociologist geek, this is such an amazing representation on marriage and relationships that not a lot of kdramas explore at a greater depth. All couples had equal screen time showcasing their difficulties / hardships in society. Rushed Ending but this series put a lot of heart and richness into its themes.

4. You Who Came from the Stars
Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
Great blend of comedy and the dramatic tensions within the story. The main leads make me believe their character motives and background. It is purely charismatic to watch them on screen. Cheon Song Yi the iconic Queen you are <3

5. The Woman Who Plays
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
This one surprised me the most.
The character interactions between the cast was such a delight and I had a great flippin time. The plot is pretty simple but it has continuous layers, I wished they explored more on Bulldog Gang and Ji Hwan - especially his interactions his father. In which, The final pay off could've been more emotional and impactful. Very consistent and paced till ep14 but honestly, this is was good journey nevertheless. Moments between Jihwan and Eunha was so natural and sweet <3
