Favorite Dramas
I take both objective and subjective aspects into account when rating. There are dramas that don't fit my taste, but I still think they were well done. The opposite is true as well. These aren't necessarilly my highest rated watched dramas, nor are they the "best" I've seen, simply my favourites. "Would I watch it again?" is one of the top questions I asked myself in order to understand if I simply think something is good, or if I trully loved it. These are all dramas I would watch again.

1. Een deel van jouw geest
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
[Rewatched twice.]
Like reading poetry and sipping a warm drink in a cozy place on a stormy day.
Is this drama perfect? No. Do I love it with my whole heart? Yes.
At its core, it's a healing melodrama with a slice-of-life feeling and a slow-burn romance. The AI is mostly taken as fact and used as a plot device. As such, there is some iffy science in the mix that one must ignore to properly enjoy the drama.
However, the emotional journey, character development and relationship of the main characters is so incredibly beautiful and realistic. This drama portrays so many complex emotions perfectly. The pacing, the production, the acting, the aesthetics, the OST. Everything is amazing. This has my whole heart. -
