Top 7 Best K-Dramas of ALL TIME!

THE TOP SEVEN BEST K-DRAMAS OF K-DRAMA HISTORY!

You know the deal. The perfectly predictable plot, the rich boy/poor girl, the over dramatic triple take of the couple's first kiss, the dummy protagonist who doesn't know a thing, the tragic back story of the main character. THIS IS K-DRAMA. And here's my list of the TOP 7 best dramas of ALL TIME (because everything after these seven just equal up to each other).

NOTE: I have seen every single damn episode of these dramas, and that is why they are qualified to make this list. Please note that there are many other great dramas I've encountered, but have not yet finished. So for now, these are my TOP 7!

7. THE GIRL WHO SEES SMELLS

Haven't seen this one? Dude. Hit CONTROL+T and go to viki.com 

to start this one as soon as possible! This drama was damn great!

It had an interesting and new concept with the characters,

which can't be said too often nowadays with all of the rich guy/poor girl

dramas--which this one isn't! HOORAY. The main female character has

a strange and quirky condition where she can actually see smells, and the

male lead has no ability to feel pain. Long story short, they make for an 

interesting pair, coming together to solve the haunting and tragic

mystery of the male lead's sister's death. Trust me guys,

you will love this one. And you may cry. Just saying. PLUS: Yoochun! He'll

put you in his backseat. 

6. SECRET GARDEN

WAIT! Don't kill me. I know what you're thinking, "This is a classic!

why is it only number six?!" but I honestly think it's place

in this list is accurate. Not only is it a staple in the kdrama world,

it was reenacted by Big Bang! That TOP/GD kiss tho....

Anyways, there's not much I can say about this drama

except it was funny, heart-breaking, and a perfect example of the

struggles of being a chaebol in love with a poor girl. AND let's 

not forget Hyun Bin's "That Man", okay? Never.

5. KILL ME HEAL ME

Is it fate that 화청 (the song you'll here over and over)

 came on as I began typing up this list? Sigh.

WHERE DO I BEGIN. I really wish I could make this #1 but alas, it 

is #5 for now. This drama... dare I say it... GOT ME FUCKED UP. 

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE 

FLOWERY, HAPPY LOOKING POSTER. THIS IS NOT A FLOWERY

OR HAPPY DRAMA BY ANY MEANS. THIS DRAMA

IS THE EMBODIMENT OF DRAMA.

Almost every episode of this broke my heart, and I found myself 

crying more than I'd like to admit. This story—no—this masterpiece is

riveting, soul-destroying, and fucking hilarious. You will be taken on an 

emotional roller coaster by motherfucking Ji Sung and his perfect versatile

acting abilities (his character has multiple personality disorder). There are

scenes you would never imagine and things you never knew could break

your heart (like, incest? Gotta watch to find out!) Guys, I shit you not,

I would probably sell my left kidney to watch this drama for the first 

time all over again. Seriously. This one's a game changer.

AND LET'S ALL TAKE A MOMENT TO REMEMBER AHN YO NA

FOR THE PERFECTION THAT SHE IS OKAY.

*Update: Ji Sung and Park Seo Jun have officially won an award 

for best couple because of Ahn Yo Na, okay. Are you convinced now?

4. CITY HUNTER

Lee Min Ho. Yep, that's pretty much all you need.

But seriously, this drama was so refreshing since it wasn't your

run-of-the-mill two people fall in love. It was barely even about that!

In Netflix this one is marked action and thriller, and truthfully I almost didn't

watch it because of that but boy I am so glad I did. There is actually

a great plot here and there's a real story line that they never let you

forget for a second. I found myself sitting in class just waiting

for the end of school bell to ring so I could bolt home and keep watching

this. I would say this is an underrated hidden gem in the kdrama world,

and more people need to know about this. And let us never forget

that last episode. Cries.

3. ROOFTOP PRINCE

Hello again, Mr. Yoochun! Yep, this guy has made this list TWICE

because of his great choice in drama. But seriously, can we just enjoy

the fact that the main female character isn't even in the main poster?

Eh, she just got in the way anyway.

For real though guys, I'm not exaggerating when I put this

one at number 3! This drama is so ORIGINAL. Basically, these four

clueless idiots in the picture above are from the old timey era in Korea.

They magically end up in present day times, and they have to adopt to 

our technological ways and figure out how to get back to their own time!

This one is definitely more funny and touching, but that isn't to say it

won't smash your heart into millions of pieces when the truth is

revealed. I honestly just adore and appreciate this drama so much it will

always have a place in my heart. This is definitely another underrated

hidden gem in the kdrama world. Also, the plot twists are real. And

I would like to formally thank the universe for introducing me to 

Choi Woo Sik, ok. Come to mama.

2. BOYS OVER FLOWERS

You didn't think I'd forget the flower child of kdrama did you? Nah. I knew

as soon as I started this list that this one would either be number 1 or number 2.

If you're new to kdrama, this is one you'll hear the most about (next

to Secret Garden, of course). If you're a kdrama vet like me, you've seen

this long ago. This is my Drama Mama, right here. Any emotion you can think of,

you'll feel with this one. And even though it is clearly made back in the day when

smartphones were a luxury, it is still 100% perfect in every way. From the 

dynamic story line to the ever-changing Goo Jun Pyo (yep, Lee Min Ho

slaying this list twice) and Jan Di couple, this one's really got it all and I truly 

can't explain, in words, how it made me feel over the 2-3 days I shamelessly 

binge-watched it. Even when I'm old and crusty, I will 10 out of 10 totally

 recommend this one. 

And finally, the almighty #1:

IT'S OKAY, THAT'S LOVE

I have to say something: I'm very biased with this one. I got into

this drama when I was first getting into hallyu and exo. I initially watched

it for D.O's acting debut, and it ended up being my first ever kdrama.

I was so culture shocked and amazed by everything that I can still

remember clearly the image of me sitting in my room one summer night

with my friend who was visiting from New York and we sat down

and watched the first episode together. Actually, as I just googled

the poster images for this show, I played one of the soundtrack songs

and I got hit with so much nostalgia. So yeah, maybe I'm biased, but

this drama is still fucking beautiful. They actually addressed the 

issue of mental illness and psychiatry, which is still pretty taboo

in Korea. I just appreciated this so much and as an anxiety-stricken little

teenager, this really hit home for me. I found myself identifying with

Kwangsoo's character and this later lead me to start watching Running Man,

which, has changed me. That may sound silly but it's true. Basically what I'm

saying is this show opened the doors to everything I love and care about right now.

I'm so grateful for this show and all of the staff members who worked so

hard to make it great and dynamic and volatile and riveting and blood-curdling and

painfully hilarious. This drama right here will always be #1 to me for so many reasons

and I will always defend it to the end of time. Even now when people mention dramas,

I tell them to watch this one. And I will never stop. Seriously. This is #1.
