Most Memorable Dramas
A list of all the dramas I remember best and that impacted me positively.
While I wouldn't rate all of these dramas as perfect 10 star pieces of art, all of them are memorable and worth watching in my mind for one reason or another.

1. Queen In Hyun's Man
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
The long time spot holder of my number one drama. While there is a couple dramas I have come to like more than this one over time, this one definitely still has some of my fondest memories. It was after watching Queen In Hyun's man that I knew I was thoroughly and utterly hooked on Kdramas.

2. Nine: Nine Times Time Travel
Korean Drama - 2013, 20 episodes
The first show I watched that hooked me on not only the time travel drama but all the angst and excitement that goes with it. While there is many other Time travel dramas I would watch later on that I enjoyed just as much if not more than this one, this one has a fond place in my heart.

3. My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho
Korean Drama - 2010, 16 episodes
Fox rain is an unforgettable song that will always come to mind the moment anyone ever brings up Korean Dramas. While I don't actually remember that much about the drama, the song follows me everywhere and warrants giving the show a watch.
-
4. Familiar Wife
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
A drama adjacent to the normal kinds of shows I like to watch, but even more memorable and satisfying anyway. When I think of the value of relationships and love, this is one of the first dramas that comes to mind, even more so than some of the 10/10 star ones.
-
5. I'm Not a Robot
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
Underrated gem of adorableness that easily reminds me of all the reasons I fell in love with Kdramas. While it was arguably a less well done drama than Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, The show is actually in many ways more memorable and iconic to me when I think of Kdrama cuteness.

6. The King: Eternal Monarch
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
While I have had a hard time finishing other fantasy super thrillers like Goblin, Hotel Del Luna, and W. This is one I was able to finish and despite all its imperfections, really enjoy and remember well. It was quite nationalistic (obviously given its premise) but also iconic in the kind of superstar shows Korea is well known for producing.
