Favorite Dramas
I try to write here how I feel about the dramas that I really enjoyed <3
Sometimes the order isn't easy to make, in fact, most of the time. I love a lot of them equality, and I tried to destribute how it seemed the fairest in my heart.

1. My Father is Strange
Korean Drama - 2017, 52 episodes
So here's how I do things.
I'm a Jung So Min fan, so from time to time I go to her page and save the links of everything she's participated recently. I was delighted to know that lately, she's been in really high rated dramas so it was a tough choice. Even crazier was the fact that I ended up picking this one. I loved the introduction, I loved the cover and most importantly, I loved that it was family comedy and romance. HOWEVER, 52 episodes... Anyone that knows me knows how impatient I am, and how long I take watching anything that is a bit longer and slow paced. I ended up picking it anyways, I don't know how to explain, there was already something alluring me somehow.
Oh waw... So firstly, I'm now nearly halfway but this already needs to be the number one ever. Then, I never watched 25 episodes this fast, I don't even have that much time in my hands, but I'm watching it whenever I have a little bit of time, that's how much I'm loving it. I download it to my phone when I won't be home, I do anything. This is gonna be the longest text ever.

2. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
This drama wrecked me, I had to rewatch it the moment I finished it, and that never happened with any other drama. So beautiful!<3
I loved it so much I don't even know where to start... First of all I liked it throughout the whole series, and it definitely got perfect at the end. Took me a while to finish it just because some things came up but when I finally managed to finish it I was actually glad it was like this because I finished watching as a 21 year old youth. < Those who know, will understand <3

3. Noodlanding op jou
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Well... crash landed on me for sure!
Great to know a little bit about life in North Korea. I loved the whole trespassing thrill, Amazing chemistry leads. It was honestly the perfect drama, wouldn't have changed anything. Felt bad for the sad ending of the secondary leads but I liked how headstrong she remained even then.

4. Playful Kiss
Korean Drama - 2010, 16 episodes
This was my first drama so I have a soft spot for it! <3
A few years have passed since I watched it and I'm older, I have more experience, and most importantly, I have watched a lot of K-dramas now. I know it's not perfect, it's really simple minded, but somehow I still find it really heart warming and just enjoyable to watch. I also wish they had gone at least as far as the anime. But despite all these things, this remains the K-drama I've rewatched the most, (and I don't usually rewatch K-drama), and from time to time I still need to go rewatch it. <3

5. Coffee Prince
Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes
This drama was beautiful simply because of how it touched such important values. He fell in love with her completely about her personality and perhaps some hormones. His mind didn't know she was a girl but his body did. As a biologist, I found this love so adorable. Definitely one of my favourites of all time!

6. Pinocchio
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
This drama may have made me a "little" Lee Jong Suk fan... <3 Their chemistry was insane, I could feel butterflies in my stomach for them... Really beautiful!

7. Because This is My First Life
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Oh waw... This drama...
As a Jung So Min fan girl, when I saw she was in a big drama again and saw so many people loving it, I knew it was a must. At first I wasn't sure about the main couple chemistry, but oh god, it didn't just grow, it actually just exploded. It's like chemistry has been reinvented after the "this is a real kiss" scene.
Perhaps it's because I'm getting older that I enjoy such down to earth dramas like this one, facing the problems of life and so. Really good one, writting about it makes me wanna watch it again <3

8. Boys Over Flowers
Korean Drama - 2009, 25 episodes
This one is a CLASSIC! I usually hate overly dramatic dramas but this is the one I can bear with, I really like it. Also, because it was one of the first ones it can't be considered cliché. This drama started the clichés for the rest that followed.

9. Doctors
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
I'm not so sure where to put this. I really loved the beginning of this drama, and don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike the rest. It's just that the beginning and all the rest of the drama are so different. I really liked the medical stories and so, which were what the rest of the drama focused the most. However, I felt thirsty for more screen time of when she was a teen and the things that happened then. I really liked the chemistry of the main couple, I liked the mature love, they were understanding of each other, he was madly in love with her and ready to do anything for her. I really loved it <3

10. I Hear Your Voice
Korean Drama - 2013, 18 episodes
I wasn't much into noona dramas till this point, but this drama totally changed my preference! It's so good, the romance, the story, WAW!
-
11. My Girlfriend is a Gumiho
Korean Drama - 2010, 16 episodes
Another of those classics I watched early in my K-drama life, it's super adorable and it was the first drama/movie that got me really really crying... It was really just so cute, Miho and the meat... ah everything!
-
12. Haar Privéleven
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Oh my, this drama, I didn't even finish it yet and it already needs to be here. After that passionate kiss of episode 10 I had to pause and come here. That chemistry is probably burning me alive. Even the vision kiss while he was blindfolded, so hot!! <3

13. Wat is er aan de hand met secretaresse Kim?
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
-
14. Romantiek is een bonusboek
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
I started watching it because I was delighted to see Lee Jong Suk on Netflix and it's pretty obvious I love basically any drama he is in. He's a great actor, super cute and heart warming. I absolutely loved this drama, I loved the mature love concept and the actors had a really cute connection. The real life problems it addresses made it feel really real and made me really emotionally engaged with it.

15. Rooftop Prince
Korean Drama - 2012, 20 episodes
I used to have this REALLY high, and it's still one of my favourites but after some time has passed, I'm not sure anymore and I need to rewatch.

16. Start-Up
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
-
17. W
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
It's so funny cause when I started watching this drama, I read nothing about it, so I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It was just one of those dramas you hear people telling you to watch it for so long, and after many years I finally did and then I wish I had done it sooner. I loved it, a new type of fantasy that worked perfectly with it's romance.

18. While You Were Sleeping
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
-
19. Cunning Single Lady
Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
Looooooved it! One of the first ones I watched and still do after watching again.
The ending was a bit weird, felt sligthly cringy. Everything else just great. Couple problems are just always relatable. There's always two sides to a story.
-
20. You Who Came from the Stars
Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
I remember I really loved this drama but it's been a long time since I watched it and I really need to rewatch it and remind myself why I put it here, specially since according to many, it should probably be higher.
-
21. A Gentleman's Dignity
Korean Drama - 2012, 20 episodes
-
22. The Legend of the Blue Sea
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
I love K-dramas, I love the sea. A K-drama about the sea... I guess that says it all? After finishing it it wasn't as magical as I used to think it was but I still loved it a lot!
-
23. Kobold
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
I really liked this K-drama, though if I'm being completely honest I didn't love it as much as a lot do, I feel like somehow we didn't have enough bonding, and we needed more. Still loved it though <3

24. Gu Family Book
Korean Drama - 2013, 24 episodes
-
25. Queen In Hyun's Man
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
-
26. My First First Love
Korean Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
-
27. Vagabond
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
What I loved: Filmed in Portugal (HELL YEA), portuguese actor and a good, engaging, action plot, with a little bit of romance.
What I disliked (btw SPOILER ALERT): They are "squeezing" this too much probably, it was kinda ridiculous the drama ended just like it started, so basically we don't get to know what happens next... of course this means there will be another season, but that's also really frustrating and probably going wrong... I sincerely hope they prove me wrong.

28. My ID is Gangnam Beauty
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
I had many moments while watching this so far, but I absolutely adore the guy! I wasn't so sure about the girl at first, but seeing her finally standing up for herself and not being dense for once in the protagonists made me love this! I love the chemistry, I love those cuties!
-
29. Touch Your Heart
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
After Goblin I guess we were all thirsty for this cute match, it was very nice, simple but beautiful love.

30. Ik ben geen robot
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
-
31. Full House
Korean Drama - 2004, 16 episodes
After a lot of experience with drama, to put this drama here may be really silly. However for me, this was the cutest thing back in the day, it was the second drama I watched. The teenager me loved the silliness and cuteness around the main couple, and therefor it sits here.
-
32. Reply 1997
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
I loved the friendship drama that this was. I loved the 90s throwbacks. Although born in 98 and therefor don't really remember them, some things were still the same when I was born, which is cute. I think their phisycally abusive relationship was a bit too much sometimes. I get it that it was their thing, but they lack cute moments.
-
33. Clean With Passion For Now
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
I really liked the female lead till a certain point, but there were some moments that made me prefer the male lead. He stood up to what he thought was best, he strong and confident. It was those moments that made me "eh, why" that don't put this further up.
-
34. Mary Stayed Out All Night
Korean Drama - 2010, 16 episodes
The thing is about this drama is that despite the awful score I remember really enjoying but I can't remember much of the story anymore, it's been a while.
