1. Splash Splash LOVE
Korean Special - 2015, 2 episodes
The first drama special and still one of the best in my opinion.
-
2. Onzoshi Boys
Japanese Drama - 2019, 18 episodes
The poster honestly threw me off but I got sucked in by the cast. No regrets. One of the few cringey plots that I don't completely regret watching because of the pretty good acting and some emotionally confusing events that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Dont expect some deep progression, the ending is pretty simple.

3. Hanazakari no Kimitachi e
Japanese Drama - 2007, 12 episodes
The j-drama that started it all for me. I finished this in one day.

4. Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
Don't let the title mislead you. Romantic has a different meaning here. If you're in it for the romance, the kisses will keep you going. If you're in it for the medical scenes, totally exciting and interesting. And if you're in it for the story, you'll enjoy the ride! I watched this just after the season 2 was announced and I loved it! It has pulled me out of my kdrama fatigue.

5. Girl from Nowhere
Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
Not for the faint-hearted. This show will take you to different places each episode and not one more or less creepier than the other. You'll personally relate to at least one episode (although, i hope not as extreme as in the show).

6. Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo
Japanese Drama - 2013, 16 episodes
For the school romance fans, either you've watched this or you have to watch this.

7. Itazura na Kiss: Love In Tokyo 2
Japanese Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
-
8. Thirty But Seventeen
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
I watched this while it was airing but I imagine it would be a great binge.
-
9. You Drive Me Crazy
Korean Special - 2018, 4 episodes
I don't think I could have survived not having all the episodes at once. It's more like a movie that was divided into episodes. The chemistry is so strong between the leads and the acting was right up my alley.

10. Marriage, Not Dating
Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
Fluff romance mixed with hilarious characters and events. Tissues not required but you can still have them at standby at the last episode when you realize the drama is over.
-
11. Page Turner
Korean Special - 2016, 3 episodes
Short and pretty. Brilliant acting from the main cast. Simple yet emotionally powerful plot. You may need tissues for this one.
-
12. D-Day
Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes
Chaotic and intense events. Passionate and strong characters. If you're a fan of disaster movies, definitely an easy binge.
-
13. Angry Mom
Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes
An easy binge to when you feel like you've been living like a robot and need some help to laugh and cry. (Worked for me!)
-
14. Sassy Go Go
Korean Drama - 2015, 12 episodes
-
15. Search: WWW
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Usually, I find business dramas dragging and can't binge them properly without skipping so much but this one is an exception.

Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
