I have been a fan of K drama for about 4 years (from 2012) and slowly after that I started getting into K pop and then J drama to Chinese dramas to Taiwanese dramas. I have since been a huge fan.
My Top Five Korean Dramas currently are:
1. Jewel in the Palace (Dae Jang Geum)
2. Empress Ki
I loved Ha Ji Won in this drama, she was so fierce and strong. I also loved the main couple and the story was so captivating. I want to make this my number one on this list but I felt that Jewel in the Palace was a bit better.
3. Queen Seon Duk
This drama is also as you can see a historical drama. I absolutely love a good historical drama and this is my third favorite historical drama. I loved the character Bidam in this drama.
4. Jumong, Prince of the Legend
I was a bit hesitant about watching this drama because it had a lot of episodes but I totally regretted not watching it sooner. It was amazing. Loved it!
5. My Name is Kim Sam Soon
I watched this drama when I was bored and just wanted something soft and refreshing to watch but I would not have guessed that I would love it so much. You should give it a try, you will not regret watching it.
