Drama Recommendations

These are some dramas that I would highly recommend to anyone new to or skeptical about K-dramas. This list does not contain any of my guilty pleasures dramas and only includes those that constantly kept me on the edge of my seat and those I believe have a commendable script, cinematography, direction or acting. And like all my other lists I haven't ranked these dramas.
