After some time watching #kdrama I'm sharing my favs:
Cat. 1: SUBLIME
Everything came together for me: story, writing, acting, cinematography, music, in:
#Lost/Unqualified to be human
Beautiful. Tragic. The hair. The ending.
#MyMister
The dept. Different ending dep. on which storyline you followed. Stolen looks. The brothers. All women.
#TheEighthSense
Unapologetically gay. The ensemble. Handling mental problems. The fun.
#MrSunshine
The colors! Over the top, symbolism, great personas. 1/N

Cat. 2 Excellent+
#MyLiberationNotes
Beautiful. Dark. Intense. The Ending.
#coffeeprince
Still amazingly fresh! So cute. That smile.
#hatetoloveyou
Fun in an excellent way. Feminist.
#Nevertheless (Korean)
Not toxic in my Dutch eyes. The ensemble.
#TheDevilJudge
Crazy story but what a sexy ride if you ship GaHan
#Ninepuzzles
A Fashion Queen and Son Suk-ku!

I feel I have forgotten to mention quite a few and I also still have a watch list that includes some gems!

However, I feel I also need to mention that the following well-known ones did not do the trick for me:
#wiwwsk #vincenzo #mrqueen

How about you, my dear #kdrama nims?

#somethingintherain lovely, BUT.. the screaming mother
#descendantofthesun entertaining, BUT.... too long of the same
#thetrunk
Very special atmosphere, BUT.... crazy story with that crazy ex
#itsokaynottobeokay
Same, BUT... no facial expression ML

5/5 #kdrama

@mel The only Kdramas I shared with you are Coffee Prince and Mr Sunshine. Toppers ! Kdrama spreaded out in so many flavours, no use trying to keep up with it. For me anyway. I have that "thing" for pre -2010 Kdrama.
No logic, strange endings, over the top acting, humor, filmed on the go , simple locations: Yeah....!
Anticipating 2 Hong Sisters dramas: Sincerely hoping they are not trying to overdo it Alchemy Of Souls-style.

@hanktank61 I gave some of the oldies a try, but my brain is not wired for all the long talks of the elders etc. so then I start ff-ing a lot. I do like the more unpolished looks a lot though!
