My Top K-Drama Rankings
See You in My 19th Life (9.6) (Netflix)
The Forbidden Marriage (9.2 - Slightly cheesy, but very well made) (Rakuten Viki)
What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim (9) (Rakuten Viki)
Study Group (9 - No romance, but surprisingly great show. 10 episodes) (Rakuten Viki)
Touch Your Heart (9) (Rakuten Viki)
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (9) (Rakuten Viki)
True Beauty (9) (Rakuten Viki)
GyeongSeong Creature (Two seasons currently. First three episodes in season 1 are 10/10 if you’re okay with death (non-main characters), remaining episodes are 7.5/10. Season 2 is better than season 1 with an overall rating of 9/10, but ends with cliffhanger. A third season has not been confirmed…) (Netflix)
Her Private Life (9 - First K-drama that I ever watched. Great show if you like Kpop. Maybe skip if you don’t. First episode is slow but stick with it) (Netflix)
Hidden Love (9 - Cute and happy C-Drama. 25 episodes - great if you have time to waste. Keep watching after photos at end for additional footage. Just ignore the female lead’s voice while you watch)(Netflix)
The First Night with the Duke (9 - Cute rom-com with 12 episodes. Main leads are both K-pop stars in real life - Seohyun from Girls’ Generation and Taecyeon from 2PM) (Rakuten Viki)
My Lovely Liar (9) (Rakuten Viki)
My Journey to You (9 - Cinematically beautiful C-drama with good storyline and fantastic costumes. Fight scenes are artistically entertaining. I greatly enjoyed watching episodes before bed because it was relaxing, but entertaining enough to keep me awake. I switched to 1.5x speed occasionally which did make me wonder at some points if I missed some dialogue or if there were plot holes. Ending was good and decently concluded, but a second season seems feasible. Originally aired in 2023 and no news of a second season) (IQIYI)
Ski Into Love (9 - Very similar vibes to Hidden Love. Very cute and easy to watch. Same female lead actress as in My Journey to You. Just ignore her voice and “cutesy” acting while you watch) (Netflix)
My Sweet Mobster (9) (Rakuten Viki)
Reset (9 - Suspensefully entertaining C-drama with 15 episodes. I was definitely entertained throughout all of it) (Rakuten Viki or Netflix with VPN set to Singapore)
My Uncanny Destiny (9 - C-drama with goofy, but entertaining humor. I surprisingly enjoyed this. Don’t watch if it’s your first C-drama, might be too much. Great for a seasoned C-drama watcher. I watched it on 1.25x speed)(IQIYI)
Miss Night and Day (9 - First couple episodes are good, but great thereafter) (Netflix)
When Destiny Brings the Demon (9 - Cdrama with 33 episodes, solid romance, and slight gore up until episode 20. I was highly entertained up until then. After that it’s a typical political Cdrama that needs to be watched on 1.5x speed. I definitely recommend watching up until episode 20 and then watch the very last episode to see the happy/open ended ending)(Rakuten Viki or Netflix with VPN set to Singapore)
The Trunk (9 - Mixed reviews online, but I really enjoyed it. Storyline jumps between past, present, and future without making it obvious. Only 8 episodes. First couple episodes reminded me of an American drama with some jumpscare sex scenes) (Netflix)
My Dearest Nemesis (9 - Watch True Beauty before this. Couple of actors are also in this show) (Rakuten Viki)
Moving (9 - Would’ve been one of my top three shows, but the last couple episodes and ending were just okay. Really fantastic up until the ending. Last episode was a cliffhanger. Second season coming out in 2026) (Disney+)
Youthful Glory (9 - Easygoing and cute C-drama with limited stress and great dramatic/artistic fight scenes. I did end up watching it in 1.25 speed though. 30 episodes)(IQIYI or Netflix with VPN set to Singapore)
Our Unwritten Seoul (8.8)(Netflix)
Lovely Runner (8.6 - Watch the first two episodes before you quit. End of second episode has a happy plot twist) (Rakuten Viki)
First Frost (8.6 - Unrealistic but cute C-drama with 32 episodes. Must watch in 1.5x speed though) (Netflix)
The Judge From Hell (8.6) (Disney+/Hulu)
Love Game in Eastern Fantasy (8.6 - Unique C-drama that involves changing a storyline for the better. First four episodes are slow, but much better thereafter. Great fairylike/whimsical costumes and accessories. CGI varies from terrible to 10/10) (Netflix)
Family by Choice (8.6) (Rakuten Viki)
The Atypical Family (8.6 - Not a fan at first because I found it be stressful, but it all works out in the end) (Netflix)
Romance is a Bonus Book (8.5 - Really liked that it focused on a woman in her late 30s) (Netflix)
King the Land (8.4) (Netflix)
The Tale of Lady Ok (8.4) (Amazon Prime - Kocowa)
My Man is Cupid (8.4) (Amazon Prime)
Business Proposal (8.2 - Wish it didn’t have some stupid scenes, mainly involving bathrooms, but fantastic otherwise) (Netflix)
Flower of Evil (8.2) (Rakuten Viki)
Destined with You (8.2) (Netflix)
My Demon (8.2) (Netflix)
Doom at Your Service (8) (Netflix)
Alchemy of Souls (8 - Honestly felt underwhelming, which was very disappointing because it had been hyped up by others. It’s definitely good, but not exceptional) (Netflix)
No Gain No Love (8) (Amazon Prime)
