Must Watch Korean Dramas!!

I've seen so many dramas and now I will give you a list of ones you should watch!! I have a mixed genre, I don't like to watch only petty, teenage, rom-coms all the time. You need to branch out and watch melodramas (unlike my friend who only watches girly stuff).


                                                                            
History of The Salaryman- It's HILARIOUS. Seriously. At first it took me a while to get into the humor and I found it kinda boring, but I'm glad I sat down and watched it!!!! It's my FAVORITE drama. It has mystery, romance, comedy. Overall daebak. Acting is superb.
                                                                      
Bad Boy- This is a melodrama. It's a typical machjang(I think that's how you spell it) where the son is illegitimate, switched at birth, revenge on the family, something like that. It's great!! Kim Nam gil is sexy as hell! You will definitely hate the villain and be prepared for stupidity by Han Ga in, but other than that WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's Up- This is the drama that Daesung from Big Bang was in. I FREAKING LOVED IT. Seriously. It was humorous, romantic, sad. I cried. Be prepared for that. It's like Glee, Fame, Center Stage but it's better than that. LOVE IT!!!!!!! Acting is superb.
 Warrior Baek Dong-soo- This had a mix of everything. Started out humorous and cute, a little romance, then it got serious. I cried in almost every other episode so just be prepared for that. Acting is superb that's why I cried all the time. Has great eye candy, I watched it at first mainly for Yoo Seung-ho but the plot is really good. Prepare for the ending. MUST WATCH. Best bromance ever.
Baker King Kim Tak gu- This had one of the highest drama tv ratings in Korea. It's a feel good, under dog story for families to watch. It's not necessarilly a melodrama, but it does have its moments for it too is a machjang. Illegitimate son, looking for father, has to prove himself, faced by many challenges, stuff like that. It's really good, you root for Tak gu, the romance, acting is superb.
Iris- The first drama I ever saw lol. At first, like everyone else, I watched it because of T.O.P from Big Bang, but he's not necessarily the main character but he is important later on. It's action, romance, it loses its way towards the end, but still everyone should see this. If you haven't seen Iris, you're a loser.
Coffee Prince- Really really good, everyone needed to have seen this. Romance, comedy, cuteness. It definitely dragged on though, alot of frustration. But EVERYONE SHOULD SEE IT.
Boys Over Flowers- Yea if you haven't seen this you're a complete loser. No need to explain. It dragged out, it got seriously retarded in the last couple of episodes. But you should see it because of Lee Min ho, Kim Hyun Joong and Kibum.
You're Beautiful- The first rom-com drama I seriously laughed out loud in. It's super cute and funny. I would choose Younghwa over Jang geun suk anyday.
White Christmas- This was like a mini series because it only had 8 episodes, I wish it was longer. This is a dark, mystery. No romance, no funny stuff except when certain characters show up. But it's dark and creepy. Not scary, very psychological. I enjoyed it ALOT. YOU MUST WATCH IT. It's about these kids trapped at school in the snowy mountains with a serial killer. They have to find a way to make it out alive. Great, great, great. To get you to watch it it has Bang Sun joon from Shut Up flower boy band. It has shocking moments, the plot is really really good. Cinematography is really pretty too.
That was my top 10, I've seen alot more so I'm just gonna list everything I've seen lol:

  1. Sungkyukwan Scandal
  2. Shining Inheritance
  3. City Hall
  4. City Hunter
  5. Prosecutor Princess
  6. Playful Kiss
  7. Personal Taste
  8. Shut Up Flower Boy Band
  9. Flower Boy Ramyun Shop
  10. Mary Stayed Out All Night
  11. Que Sera Sera
  12. Dream High
  13. Full House
  14. The Greatest Love
  15. Rooftop Prince
  16. Athena: Goddess of War
  17. Padam Padam
  18. Sign
  19. Swallow the Sun-never got close to finishing
  20. 9 End 2 Outs-never got close to finishing
  21. Attic Cat
That's it I think. I'm sure I've seen more...I've also seen Japanese and Taiwanese Dramas.
