    9.0

    9.5/10

    This show had me reconsidering the world around me, I really loved the plot and the storyline. It's so interesting and re mind-boggling. I personally think this is a great show for anyone to watch but the ending felt a bit rushed.

    Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes

    8.5

    8/10

    I really enjoyed the concept of this show, though I've seen better work done and there are plenty of shows that surpass this show in terms of a good drama itself, I still think this is worth the watch and you might really enjoy it!

    9. Pinocchio

    Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes

    8.5

    8.5/10

    Korean Special - 2017, 1 episode

    10

    9/10

    11. Cheese In The Trap SP

    Korean Special - 2016, 1 episode

    8.5

    8/10

    While reading Cheese in the Trap I was really excited about this show and it did not fail me, I loved how accurately the characters from the webtoon are represented by the cast. The show was perfect, in the sense of the cast, the production and the plot but what throw me off was the ending. The ending seemed poorly done and somewhat rushed as the show's climax is resolved literally five mins before the completion of the show and the show the resolution at the last two mins of this show.

    8.0

    7.5/10

    This show was okay, in the manner it wasn't all that interesting and sometimes it was feeling a little over the top and annoying but to be honest it wasn't that bad of a show and was somewhat decent.

  • Love Alarm

    32. Love Alarm

    Korean Drama - 2019, 8 episodes

    8.0

    8/10

    I liked this show and the idea of the app but for me, I think that the show at times became a bit repetitive as it seemed like they were just extending the issue that occurs way to much but I am interested to see how this show play out in the next season. 

  • My First First Love

    33. My First First Love

    Korean Drama - 2019, 8 episodes

    7.5

    7.5/10

    I liked this show but for me, it wasn't something completely over the top or something truly amazing, instead, it was more of "yeah, that was good".

  • My First First Love 2

    34. My First First Love 2

    Korean Drama - 2019, 8 episodes

    8.5

    8.5/10

    This was so good, the ending of this show made me so happy, it was so perfect and so right in so many ways, I really liked how the production of this show ended this show off as and I really, really enjoyed it. In a way this season made up for the previous season of the show.

  • Class of Lies

    35. Class of Lies

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    10

    10/10

    An interesting story of a murder of a young girl, to find the truth a lawyer joins the school that the young girl was from and becomes the temporary teacher there, as the story unfolds more is learned about the girl and who her murderer may be. The story truly had me enjoying the whole show and I really loved it. I personally watch a lot of romantic shows but this show unfolded a new genre for me to dig into.

  • Leverage

    36. Leverage

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    8.0

    8/10

    A show about a group of 5 who fight bad guys in their own way. I genuinely really liked this show, cause of its cast, filming location and storyline. It is one of those shows that tense you up but also makes you smile at the same time. I recommend watching this show if you have nothing to watch. 

  • Love with Flaws

    37. Love with Flaws

    Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes

    8.5

    8.5/10

    A show about two lovers who have their own flaws. I really liked this show for its rom-com atmosphere and how cute and bubbly this show is.

  • Psychopath Diary

    38. Psychopath Diary

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    10

    10/10

    This drama shares a story about a kind man who loses his memory and believes he is a psycho killer due to the diary he finds next to him. The show revolves around a female officer who is trying to help him find the actual killer. Personally, I really enjoyed this show due to its different genres, cast and storyline.

  • Chicago Typewriter

    39. Chicago Typewriter

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    7.0

    6/10

    A show that deals with the past and the present of three friends, with the key concept being, reincarnation. I enjoyed this show, but something that threw me off gird was the complex storyline and how stretched out the show felt. Personally, I was a little disappointed with the ending, as it felt like it didn't fit well with the universe of the show that it was trying to prove.

  • My Holo Love

    40. My Holo Love

    Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes

    8.5

    8.5/10

    A show that is somewhat of a cross between "I'm Not a Robot" and "Are You Human Too?" (both that I recommend giving a watch before you watch this). I genuinely really enjoyed this show do to its highly intriguing plot and also loved bingeing all the episodes in three days! 

  • Crash Landing on You

    41. Crash Landing on You

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    9.5

    9.5/10

    I wanted this show to be a 10/10 for me cause I LOVED this show, but the ending made me so infuriated because of (SPOILERS DON'T READ MORE IF YOU DON'T WANT A SPOLIER) one character's death. First of all, throughout the show, they put this character in the shadows, but then finally his life seems to be working and there is something about him that is worth looking forward to, they kill him off. But that isn't even the annoying part, they kill him off during THE LAST EPISODE TT!!

  • Itaewon Class

    42. Itaewon Class

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    10

    10/10

    Usually, Romance related dramas can really cringe, but this one was some much more authentic. This drama is a recreation of a webtoon and will make you feel all types of ways! I highly recommend this show because of its highly detailed story, well-played actor and the whole thing feeling really realistic! If you are curious then in a simple to summarize the story of this show is that it shows the struggle a man faces while trying to run his own business in the honour of his father. You get to see his process while he grows his business, gets his revenge and grows his relationship with the people around him.

  • Extracurricular

    43. Extracurricular

    Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes

    10

    10/10

    This was such a great show, the ending was worth everything. I honestly love it when Netflix gives its classical cliff hanger and sure do expect it from this one. Honestly, this show keeps you at the edge of the seat for the whole time and I can't compliment this show enough. I am obsessed with this show and HIGHLY recommend it a lot. Oops! I forgot to mention what this show is about! This show follows two high school students who run a sexual service business. I know it may be a sensitive subject for some but if it isn't something that is bothersome to you then definitely watch this show.

  • Meow, the Secret Boy

    44. Meow, the Secret Boy

    Korean Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    8.5

    8.5/10

    This show is for my peeps that love something cute, light and with a soft story. This drama has the power to end the show with a smile on your face. It is a show about a love story between a girl and a cat who turns into a boy because of the power of love! Give it a watch if you're bored.

  • To My Name

    45. To My Name

    Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes

    7.0

    7/10

    This was a really, really short series. Like there is 6ep and each is 10mins long. I personally can't criticize it too much just cause how short it is but yeah! It is a cute "wholesome" or "uwu" type of show and it's really short. I personally won't even call it a show-cause it soo short, it is more like a movie. This show takes the idea of your soulmate's name on your wrist from TikTok but shows what it would be like if that was the reality. But if you're interested in something similar to this that's like the length of your average drama then check out "To The Beautiful You". It plays on with the same idea that the main guy mistakes the girl for a guy but in that show we see it being totally the girl's intention to do so, so she can go to this all-boys school. But as for this show, she just is a more tomboyish type of person, so the main dude mistakes her for being so. 

  • Hit the Top

    46. Hit the Top

    Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes

    7.5

    7.5/10

    This story revolves around an idol who time travels 20 years ahead to the year 2017. Personally, what bothered me most about the story was accepting that this guy is only a year older than his son and that this drama contains the hardest third wheel story.  I ended up rooting for no one to be the "main" love story of the show, and just accepted the outcome of the ending. Anyways, it is an easy binge for those interested. 

  • Top Management

    47. Top Management

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    9.0

    9/10

    This is a show about an idol group and their manger's adventure. The manager has the ability to see the future, but it's really vague. She uses her power to try and help the members out. The episodes were short and it's an easy drama to get through. I loved the plot and the cast was superior, just a great show overall. Something that made me feel like it was incomplete was the length of the show and I wish the ending could've been a little more elaborated. But nevertheless, a very cute and simple show that I definitely recommend. 

  • It's Okay to Not Be Okay

    48. It's Okay to Not Be Okay

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    9.5

    9.5/10

    This show follows two unique but yet very similar lovers. The viewers get a presence of their childhood that has affected both their lives and the people they became as their past continues to haunt them till their adulthood. Though the relationship is more profound, it does carry elements of ill-fated love. I personally really liked this show as it had many elements, such as a very interesting plot and characters and great cinematography. This show covers many genres, such as romance, thriller, horror, suspense and a bit of comedy.  With that said, my only complaint of this show is the length, some scenes seemed just unreasonably long but I think that acting and the highly detailed plot makes up for it.  

  • Queen of the Ring

    49. Queen of the Ring

    Korean Drama - 2017, 21 episodes

    8.0

    8/10

    This show revolves around the idea of beauty is love. We are introduced to a guy who only dates girls cause of their looks and a girl who feels unjustified by others because of her looks. There is also a fictional portion of this drama and is pretty easy to sit through. I definitely find the moral to be quiet cute but a bit unrealistic. So, to basically summarize this show, you can just easily say that this drama pulled a Sierra Burgess. Where pretty guy falls for the unattractive girl.

  • Where Your Eyes Linger

    50. Where Your Eyes Linger

    Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

    10

    10/10

    Its a really beautiful show that is about two lovers coming around to finding out who they really are. I personally really liked it and I wish there had been more episodes but nevertheless this show doesn't leave any holes and covers the whole plot.

  • The School Nurse Files

    51. The School Nurse Files

    Korean Drama - 2020, 6 episodes

    9.0

    9/10

    This show is for people who get lost in the world of fiction. A short show that I hope will renew for season two, the show covers the unbelievable/possibility of the world. I can't describe the show as it really hard finding the right words, but you will get lost in the story, the colours and the characters. Overall I love this show and I especially recommend this towards philosophy students. 

  • Youth Report

    52. Youth Report

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    7.0

    7/10

    This show is a really cute and just a well rounded and soft show, personally, for me, it got boring after the eighth episode cause the plot wasn't developing fast enough and everything felt like a filler. But besides that, this isn't a bad show to binge-watch, just you'll end up skipping a lot.

  • More Than Friends

    53. More Than Friends

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    5.0

    5/10

    I know, the rating of this show is terrible, but I had to put this here for those who love watching a show cause of its cast, rather than the story because the cast of this show is amazing also the story was actually good, but only up until the ending. The show introduces great plots and gives a lot of value and storyline between characters and even supporting characters. Also, I have to say this, the third lead, or the CEO guy deserves so much better and honestly I wasn't thrilled by his ending. The show's main leads go through many on and off throughout the show and the timing is always off so essentially, it doesn't seem that a mutual attraction is present at all and the viewer just continues to detest both characters. I just felt like there was so much potential to this show but it was completely ruined. 

  • Save Me

    54. Save Me

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    10

    10/10

    A show that was recently recommended to me and I do not regret one bit of it. The story is about a young beautiful yet innocent girl being stuck in the four walls of a religious cult and suffers from her life surrounding her. She stays in this miserable hell until she asks a stranger from the past "save me", and from that point on she gets involved with 4 friends who are out to save her from this hell. I personally loved every bit of the show, from the living to the dead and from the evil to the good. Also, one thing I love about this show is that there are so many different stories that get covered and how beautiful it all plays out and dots finally connect. Anyway, I really recommend this to someone who is very curious-minded and is honestly wanting to binge a show.

  • DoDoSolSolLaLaSol

    55. DoDoSolSolLaLaSol

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    6.5

    6.5/10

    A show that revolves around a girl who is graduated as a pianist and comes from a really rich background that finds herself homeless and helpless after a few turning events, and a boy who tries helping her while having his own secrets. Personally, I liked the first 7 episodes of this show, but later on many, and I mean like 95% of the last 9 episodes seemed like fillers. I feel like the show ended at the 7th or 8th episode mark as many of the main plot's conflicts resolve within those episodes. Most of the time I found myself skipping the whole entire episode and hating on the show, but I would say that the first part of the show was honestly good as there was a proper story with conflicts and some tensions, but later on, it all becomes a blur because of how the show starts to lack a story. So for this show, I recommend watching it at your own will.  

  • Love Alarm Season 2

    56. Love Alarm Season 2

    Korean Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    9.5

    9.5/10

    This is what I wanted from the first season, though there were moments where I picked on some of the character arches, however, I still really enjoyed this season, the ending was so satisfying and I enjoyed the thriller of the "mysterious" storyline that runs of the side and honestly, this second season makes up for the first and more.  Also, though it is 6 episodes, I did wish there was more, but it was perfect in the sense that the story ended off nicely and everything about it was perfect.
