Day 2: what I'd recommend to someone looking for an epic love story

#MyDearest could be described as the Korean version of "Gone With The Wind" where we are first introduced to the leads in a halcyon hey-day of wealth, prosperity, and class separation in ancient Joseon, before the war comes. Both leads go through incredible challenges separately and together.

Day 3: what I'd recommend to someone looking for a gripping thriller

#LittleWomen is a major twist to the classic novel of three poor sisters with dreams. The colors of the episodes are rich and vibrant, the characters are beautiful and ... uncertain. What you know at the end of one episode is not necessarily what you know in the next episode.

Day 4: what I'd recommend to someone looking for a powerful performance

#Jeongnyeon is about a troupe of female stage musical - gukgeuk - performers, specifically with a feisty young woman from a small fishing village who works to become a star on stage. You will be *invested* in the stories both on and off the stage. 🤩

Day 5: what I'd recommend to someone looking for a compelling historical

#TheGreatQueenSeondeok is a massive epic (62 hour long episodes!) that starts just before Deokman is born, to her multilingual childhood, her gender-bending young adulthood as a soldier, battling mysticism with science (and more mysticism) to gain the crown, the sacrifices women need to make to hold power, and seeing the pros and cons of investing finite time and resources into war vs advancement.

Day 6: what I'd recommend to someone looking for an office romance drama

#FindYourself is a cdrama where a 32yo single career woman figures out what it is she wants from life, while also being the love interest of a younger man in her office and a slightly older man she gets along well with. How old is too old to be single if you're a woman? What double standards are there for men? What if what you want isn't what society tells you to want?

Day 7: what I'd recommend to someone looking for a great ensemble cast

#AKoreanOdyssey is so fun, with many animal deities as humans, FT Island's Lee Hong-Ki as a pig deity, Lee Seung-gi with iconic triangle bangs as a monkey deity, Lee Se-Young as the most adorable zombie you've ever seen, a murderous dog secretary, a gender fluid summer/winter god, an octopus prince, and a demon-repelling yellow polka dotted umbrella.

Day 8: what I'd recommend to someone looking for a slice of life drama

#HospitalPlaylist is about five 40yo surgeons who were friends in university and end up all working at a teaching hospital together. For fun, they also play in a band together in one member's basement.

We see their friendships, families, relationships, careers, and some inner workings of growing new surgeons in a teaching hospital environment.

Day 9: what I'd recommend to someone looking for a twisty revenge drama

#TheDouble is a gorgeously shot drama about A'Fei, a woman whose beloved husband decides to bury her alive in a mountain forest, who decides to fill in for someone else's life in order to get revenge. Murder, revenge, beautiful people, tricks, cleverness, superhuman skills... It was so popular that Netflix bought the rights while it was still airing.

Day 10: what I'd recommend to someone looking for found family

#MoonlightChicken A series that is beautifully shot and pulls your heart strings as Jim, a man who had to be strong for many, grapples with allowing himself to lean on Wen, who wants someplace to call home. Learning to be vulnerable and having love and care for this found family Jim's cobbled together. Plus the cutest pickup truck.
