100 Good Drama Champuru
100-ish good dramas I've enjoyed over the years. Semi-random and best-of-year combo until I can make smaller lists and add more recent ones...for now a mix of sageuk, wuxia, Korean rom-crime-action (?), Japanese comedies & cop/detective dramas etc.
Ratings are all a little all over the place...sometimes I appreciate a drama more after time and never get around to changing a rating unless I reviewed it...and some excellent dramas I find myself not 'liking' enough to feel warm about later. Or sometimes some story just 'hits the spot' at the time. All about enjoyment! (Maybe I should add more from my loved most of it/hated the ending list!)
