Serenity's lifetime dramas
Here is a list of my lifetime dramas. My definition of a lifetime drama is: a drama that is so memorable to you, you think about it daily. It has had a positive impact on your life and it holds a special place in your heart.
In no particular order, I present: Serenity's lifetime dramas
-
1. Kobold
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
This drama means a lot to me, it's my favourite. It's been 3 years and nothing has managed to fill the void of this drama. Everything down to the cinematography to the acting to the OST's is stellar. If you've yet to watch the drama, here's your sign! What are you waiting for? You're missing out on a fantastic show!

2. Mother
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
I still think about this drama from time to time. It was a beautiful, emotional rollercoaster. I urge you to watch this drama! Lee Boyoung did a fantastic job, but the real star of the show was Heo Yool. What a phenomenal child actress.

3. SKY Castle
Korean Drama - 2018, 20 episodes
I love this drama very much! It was thrilling and unpredictable. I love how it brought to light the immense pressure Korean children are put under because of school by their parents. It emphasises the obsession the upper class have about their children getting into SKY schools. How children were used by their parents to brag and one-up other parents. Such an exciting drama! It was definitely buzz-worthy.

4. Noodlanding op jou
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
I'm a sucker for good romance dramas and this had me hooked. First of all, the main leads were a pair matched in heaven. Their chemistry was off the roof! Besides the romance, what also won me over was the friendship between Seri and a) the soldiers b) the village ajummas. So so so beautiful and heartwarming. This one is definitely worth the watch!

5. You Who Came from the Stars
Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
Oh, this drama was fab! I was obsessed with Seong Yi's character for the longest time (I still am tbh). She's probably the funniest character I've come across. I loved the storyline and how everything came together in the end. Such a fun, hilarious drama!
-
6. It's Okay to Not Be Okay
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
It's been a week since this drama last aired but I miss it so much. Such a beautiful drama. The chemistry was amazing. Perfect match. It was also unpredictable with a great plot twist. Last but most certainly not least, the familial feel of the trio is what made the drama all the more enjoyable!
-
7. W
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
W was the first taste I got of a Kdrama (I don't count playful kiss, that drama was awful). It was so good and enjoyable. I loved the plot but HHJ and LJS had undeniable chemistry. It's a must-watch!
-
8. Pinocchio
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
What can I say other than this drama is a must-watch?! Such a great drama!
-
9. Descendants of the Sun
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
I've pretty much lost count on how many times I've watched this drama (maybe 4 or 5 times). I mean the plot is nothing out of the ordinary but its so enjoyable! The chemistry between both the first leads and the second leads were amazing. Grab some tissues whilst watching this one (don't say I didn't warn you haha)
-
10. Hospital Playlist
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Perfection! I loved every single episode. They're friendship goals. The music was great. Please, see this masterpiece for yourself, I feel like I can't even do it any justice by just describing it. I need season 2 ASAP!
-
11. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
An unforgivable open book ending, but a phenomenal drama. IU did a really great job here! The cast was eye-candy but besides that factor, they all performed brilliantly. I always find myself thinking about this drama even after 3 years. The ending was just...*sigh* I wish we had more clarity and closure. Get a box of tissues for this one, most definitely.
-
12. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Aww, I absolutely adore this drama! I have such vivid recollections of watching this in summer '17! Such a great, light-hearted, incredibly funny drama. What's even better is, you know the chemistry was 100% real because they were dating at the time!
-
13. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
This drama was the epitome of adorable. I loved this drama so much! it was so fun and lighthearted. Min-min was so adorable! They were absolute goals. Perfect lighthearted drama to watch after you've balled your eyes out over sad dramas
-
14. While You Were Sleeping
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
The drama was great! I loved the plot and the leads did a great job. Every episode was action-packed and enjoyable. The reason why it's a lifetime drama for me is that I have great memories attached to this drama. I always anticipated coming back home from school every Wednesday and Thursday to watch this drama. It was also Winter too!
