My 2022 Most ENJOYED
These are my favorite, most enjoyed dramas that came out in 2022. NOT the dramas I watched during the year, but dramas that aired in 2022.
I organize them by score BUT also by how many times I rewatched it (even if I just go back to specific episodes).
-
1. Summer Strike
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
This show really made me rethink my life. For real.
Do you want to have a chill time with some minor lore and suspense? this is for you. But, while the mystery and lore are kinda great, this is 100% a chill show. Like, SUPER laid back.
But I loved it.

2. Semantic Error
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
The amount of times that I have re-watch the show alone, this is definitely my number one most enjoyed. I'm still adding shows to this list but I know nothing will top this because I have not re-watched any other show more than I have re-watched this. The way I kind of grade my dramas if you will is also incorporating the amount of times that I have re-watched it since it aired, and this beats anything that I've ever watched EVER.
I think this is hands-down my most re-watched show.
Besides, do I really have to explain anything. We all should know how big there's little drama got this year. It was all over the news because of how good it did. He had great ratings, and let's be honest great actors bring good ratings. And the chemistry between these two cannot be denied.

3. Business Proposal
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
As of when I am writing this the show hasn't ended at all (we're only on episode 4 I think) but I can just tell that I am sure I am going to really like this for some reason (even though a lot of people are shitting on the show right now for being cringy but I don't care)
I love sejeong. she's a ray of sunshine. also, the ML (forgot how to spell the actual actor's name so we are not going to attempt that.) is really good. I think this role was a really good fit for him for some reason.

4. Weak Hero Class 1
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
I BINGED THIS SHOW SO HARD AFTER IT GOT AIRED!!!!!
THIS RIGHT HERE WAS A ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS!!!

5. Tomorrow
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
This right here. This drama right here had me in tears. You did not have to make it that deep. You really didn't. But you really took your idea, and ran with it till the end of the world. Like, thank you so much for portraying how real it is that so many people want to un-alive themselves because this is a very real thing in our society, but you did not have to hit us with the feels.

6. Maid's Revenge
Chinese Drama - 2022, 30 episodes
When I tell you that I think I enjoyed the show a little too much I mean it. This show is literally a mini series, that just looks really good but you can tell that they did not have the budget to do anything too crazy, and despite that, it has NO RIGHT BEING THIS GOOD. XD
This beer have any at the edge of my seat. Like, again I have to acknowledge that the scraped isn't the best, the directing isn't the best, the drama is nothing too crazy. But the acting!!! The characters, the portrayal, the betrayl!!! the drama
Like, you had me at "she falls for the hot uncle instead of the nephew she is engaged to" LOL XD

7. To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
I re-watched this show a heck of a lot too.
I just had to find out what happened after season one, and let me tell you the start of season two was rough. When I thought that they were broken up for good I almost had a heart attack. We got over and that's all that matters.

8. Today's Webtoon
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
I love the show with all my heart. I love Kim Sejeong.
I don't care what people say about her. She is a great actress to me. And you can really see her grow after every project.

9. Love Between Fairy and Devil
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
This drama simply had me up for days waiting for the next episode to drop. When I say I was addicted, I mean it.
Forget the chemistry between the actors ( just know it was really good), I have seen this kind of vibe of story already, but let me tell you that I think this is the best one that has executed this kind of plot. Because this is not the first enemies to lovers that we see. This is not the first "I'm an powerful God and you're nothing fairy" plot we see. I'm not even the first plot twist of the "fairy being actually really powerful" that we see. But it's just when you put all of those things together with the actors and the team and the directing, this becomes a really special project. I really, really, really really really really enjoyed this drama.
Also the CG and set design, and the costume design were so freaking good.

10. Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
simply top tier. a must-watch if you were to ask me for k-drama recommendations.

11. Jinxed at First
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
a bit cringy but very sweet. the story is super interesting and the flow of the plot is pretty on point in my opinion.
it can seem very childish at first, but you have to understand the characters and their circumstances. once you do, the drama and the characters won't seem annoying at all. because it could be that way when you first start watching it

12. Once Upon a Small Town
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
This drama was super cute. I watched it purely for joy, and I did what I needed to do. It brought joy into my life. Also the main lead I remembered him from a Korean BL so that was interesting. Their chemistry was honestly really good. I didn't expect it to be that good at all. And then the other male lead, the second male lead, I remembered him from another drama (I think it was called love before 30 or something like that.) where he was the love interest for Hani (EXID), and I remember him being really cute and really good to and he did come through in this drama.
Plot wise, again, this is a very cute Shohreh just got to turn your brain off. You get what the ending of the story is going to be from the get-go. So you just get to sit back and enjoy watching the plot unfold since you already kind of know the ending.

13. Shining for One Thing
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
I simply loved this so much.
I can't even begin to explain the roller coaster of emotions that this is drama took me on. It was truly a really fun watch and I wish I could watch it with fresh eyes all over again so that I could experience all of the twists and surprises because they were honestly really good.
And even though this drama messes with your heart a little bit just know that everything is gonna be fine in the end and that everybody's going to be happy in their own way. Very realistic on some issues as well. Like, dramas sometimes try to make the main leads as the heroes too much and you have to understand that sometimes you won't be able to help somebody with their situation, and even if you could help, sometimes they don't want your help.
Sometimes you got to mind your business even if you don't want to mind your business because you want to help but the other person doesn't want any help.
