I can't watch American cinema anymore. I still enjoy British but these Kdramas are so beautifully made. The acting is superb, the large scenes so physically beautiful... I'm spoilt for life. I would love to see more for the more mature audience. "World of the Married" was superb.

[@ktcool4660]

Your brain is cooked.

[@Dong_Hwa23]

Cant agree more. Kdramas simply amazing.

[@jollyjm]

So true about American cinema. They are so trite. I also enjoy Spanish series in addition to Korean dramas.

[@MariaPerez-lm7xy]

I'm with you! K-drama has the best movies and gorgeous actors/actresses. American movies don't come close to K-drama!

[@Sssmaug]

Same here! I dropped US film & TV on its head 2 years ago - so shallow, predictable, with cookie cutter characters & way too much testosterone, lol. Not to mention all those stultifying commercials! 🤪 Unique plots, terrific acting, great production values - K Drama for me all the way now! I hope they keep making lots & lots, & add second seasons to many. 💕❤️💕

[@mimilovesbangtan]

Alchemy of souls and flower of evil are some of the best kdramas. Idk why mostly kdrama stories have a minor drop in pace around 11-12th episode and picks up again after 13-14. But in these two, there were zero dull moments, got my absolute attention from start to finish

[@cc6755]

When it comes to solid writing form beginning to end, I feel these dramas did their very best. (Dramas below are not ranking, they wre just serial indication). 1. My mister - best emotional drama 2. Red sleeve - best historical romance 3. Misaeng - best and most realistic office drama 4. Weak hero class 1- best bullying theme 5. Mother - best mother drama (for me the original japanese version will always be number one, but this is also really great). 6. Flower of evil - best vicitim drama 7. Reply 1997 and 1988 both of them. - best nostalgic drama 8. My liberation notes - best depression dealing drama 9. Because this is my first life - best slice of life drama 10. Strangers in hell - best thriller drama 11. Call it love - best depression healing drama 12. Life on mars - best fantasy thriller drama 13. Hospital playlist - realistic hospital drama 14. Move to heaven - best after death drama 15. Happiness - best modern zombie drama 16. Stranger and stranger 2 - best law drama 17 . Life - best hospital management drama 18. Under the queen's umbrella - best historical mother drama 19. Eulacha waikiki 1 - best comedy drama 20. Mr queen - best historical comedy 21. It's okay that's love - best love and sex phobia drama 22. Kingdom season 1 and 2 - best historical zombie drama 23. Glory - best revenge drama 24. Prison playbook - best prison life drama 25. Extraordinary attorney woo - best drama about challeng people 26. Mouse - best thriller psychopath 27. DP - best military bullying issue 28. Through the darkness - the only realistic psychopath profiling drama 29. King of pigs - best anti hero revenge drama 30. Hot stove league - best baseball management drama 31. Designated survivor 60 days - best political drama 32. Bad guys - best vigilante justice drama. 33. Age of youth 1 &2 - best female centric drama 34. Be melodramatic - another best femalw centric drama 35. On the verge of insanity - best and realistic HR and employee clash drama. 36. Itaewon - best youthful food centred business and revenge drama. 37. Reborn rich - best fantasy with business revenge drama. 38. Children of nobody - best mystery drama on abandoned children. 39. Hometown cha cha - best village side romance drama. 40. Drink now, work later season 1 and 2- best comedy female friendship drama with alcohol. 41. Moving - best superhero action drama. 42. My dearest - the greatest historical love story. 43. Revenant - best horror drama. 44. Alchemy of souls 1 - best fantasy drama. Part is also good given the FL left the drama after season 1 and writers still came up with fantastic story except part 1 is always the better version, but part 2 is also close. 45. death game- very solid and engaging writing, except I still believe that death shouldn't have punished ML because I have a good logical reason. I don't want to spoil so keeping to myself. 46. our beloved summer- very nice slow pace love drama. only good if you are ok with slow pace. 47. the guest- best horror drama 48. twenty twenty one - really great youthful story, especially the relationship between two FLs. Although at the end, I felt it would been better if there is one more episode to properly end the male leads story, but nevertheless the best one. 49. one dollar lawyer - a very fun law drama. 50. our blues- a healing drama. Although I personally felt episodes are too long and could have done in lesser time slot, but that's me. Others could have find pace perfectly normal. Regardless this is a nice drama but beware it is also very sad drama. 51. Summer strike - another healing drama, tad slow for me but might work for you. 52. good mother, bad mother- best mother-son relationship drama. Storywise it is really awesome, although I have fast forwarded only because ML isn't my favorite, but if I have to be honest, he and ra miran and the whole drama is really really good. You will enjoy this. 53. reset 2022 - a time fantasy drama. It is a chinese drama. This is kdrama list but this drama is too good for me to pass up. Especially the acting skills of the villains in this drama is top notch. I rarely like cdramas, but this one is the most consistent, not lagging, and logically a unique drama I come across. I really don't want people to miss this. 53. Twinkling watermelon - a nice time fantasy healing and youthful drama. 54. Lovely runner - a kdrama youthful love story that makes you feel the old kdrama vibes with goodness. 55. Pyramid game - a fictional intriguing bullying theme. 56. Beyond evil - the drama lives upto it's name. 57. Gaus electronics - a comedy drama after a long time that's actually a comedy drama and not just drama. 58. Salon de nabi - nice story about hairdressers 59 - connection - very interesting drugs and police drama. 60 - one ordinary day - the realistic drama of getting framed of murder and wrongfully accused situation.

Most of the dramas on this list are relatively "recent" -- with the great HEALER seeming like the oldest. While I highly recommend HEALER, SIGNAL, FLOWER OF EVIL and ALCHEMY OF SOULS 1&2 from the list, I would have to include several others, that greatly contributed to Hallyu, such as my all time favorite: YOU WHO CAME FROM THE STARS, and also (just off the very top of my head) W TWO WORLDS, GOBLIN, KILL ME HEAL ME, CITY HUNTER, SIX FLYING DRAGONS, GAKSITAL, and many others that make lists like this only an appetizer. Additional favorites (partial list) that I highly recommend depending on mood: DEFENDANT FATED TO LOVE YOU I REMEMBER YOU TUNNEL DREAM HIGH QUEEN IN HYUN'S MAN KING 2 HEARTS GOURMET MY GIRLFRIEND IS A GUMIHO CHICAGO TYPEWRITER SPLASH SPLASH LOVE ...

Flower of Evil is simply a masterpiece imo; I cannot even put it with the others lol and Beyond Evil (not in this video) is also a masterpiece...from this video I can say that my favourites are Happiness, Under the Queen's Umbrella and Crash Landing on You

[@MrVvulf]

I thought the synopsis they gave in this video regarding "Under the Queen's Umbrella" did it a disservice. The Queen's umbrella is NOT just for her sons. The Queen protects ANYONE she sees as a good person, which is shown time and again, and often to people who thought the Queen was a foe.

[@vaishnaviravuri3184]

@Sherryanne Felix I totally agree with you! Flower of Evil is an amazing watch.

[@Queen1Kingdom]

I watched both Flower of Evil and Beyond evil. Even though I loved Flower of evil, the last episodes started having holes in the story and some scenes (in my opinion)were horribly executed. Beyond Evil was a true masterpiece and the main actor did an excellent job. I’ve watched it twice.

[@NelleBligh333]

@@Queen1Kingdom I agree! I've seen Beyond Evil 3x now and it just gets better with every viewing, so well acted and constructed. And what other serial killer series reveals the serial killer halfway through! Also agree about Flower of Evil, the final episodes were disappointing after such a thrilling start.

Lee Je Hoon is a BRILLIANT Actor. 2 of his dramas are very worthily on your list, but I would also suggest his 3rd drama - Taxi Driver. Season 1 was excellant and Season 2, currently airing is just as gripping. I am so happy that the series Move to Heaven is No. 1. Not one with romance and fluff or action, it was the most unexpected drama in 2021. I will not be able to do a repeat viewing since my 1st watch was a binge-watch and I was emotionally drained and surprisingly lighter in my heart with hope and a smile. It was SUBLIME and Perfection.

This series could compete with any film noir out of Hollywood or England. The tone set by Song Hye Kyo, a woman suffering from extreme PTS from the horrific bullying she received while a teenager, is one of the most profound performances in Korean cinema. IF you look at the faces of holocaust victims from old WW2 pictures, she has replicated the exact emptiness you see in their faces.

@charlottesmom it's OK that you know the ending. It doesn't change the emotions of that moment. I still watch Cloy and cry at almost every scene in episode 16. It is an amazing drama and one that you can watch over and over when you want to take a break from dramas that have endings that don't make sense or that are downright horrible.

[@charlottesmom]

true for me! and also much earlier Hyun Bin series "Secret Garden" which is my all time favourite romance/fantasy ever! Ive already watched it 3 x and I'm quite new to K Drama too. I also like Healer and K2.

[@suzannes783]

Goblin, Hotel Del Luna, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, W, While You Were Sleeping, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, Beauty Inside .. and although I haven't seen the next two, everyone raves about Descendents of the Sun, as well as Hwarang. It's so hard to choose! There are so many great Kdramas!

hope you get a chance to watch Descendents of the Sun, and Hwarang, they are great, also i love everything you named.

[@fayfumiko6574]

Hotel Del Luna, Strong Women, and WWWSK were really great. DOTS was pretty good, a little overrated IMHO, and Hwarang was extremely overrated, even though I love Park Seo Joon. Go Ara's acting is really hard to take and I almost could not complete that drama. There are a lot of other great dramas to watch, so I can't really recommend you spend your time there.

[@labejessica7009]

Hwarang is a master piece

[@01031999sweet]

For me 'The Devil Judge' is the best drama of all times. It is SO powerful and the plot twists come one right after the other! Its psychological aspect and the traumas it represents are also extremely interesting and give food for thought... I highly recommend it!

Some had more to offer than others, similar to reading books (I love stories beyond words). There will always be something of them staying with you after you finish them, good or bad, satisfying or not.

I have seen 11 of the 15 on this list, strangely I have not seen any of the top four. I would replace Happiness with Mr. Sunshine, the greatest period K drama. While it is a Tragedy with a capital T, it is simply way too good not to be on this list. The story, the acting, the music, the visuals (beautifully filmed), it is outstandingly good!! While Mr. Queen was fun to watch, I would replace it with Descendants of the Sun, another classic not on this list. 25/21 was very good, but it did not leave me feeling warm and fuzzy as the narrator suggests because of the ending. I was so disappointed in the ending that it ruined the drama for me. (I love Kim Tae Ri, but her character in 25/21 left me upset and confused. Why???) If you have not seen Mr. Sunshine, you absolutely should!!

[@thedungeon1578]

I really enjoyed Happiness, but I get what you're saying. It was really solid and I loved the 2 leads and their relationship. The disease was way more interesting that most zombie shows, the characters were interesting, and the drama intriguing. That all said though, I've never seen a zombie show with less zombies. While the show had way less plot holes than All of Us Are Dead and was probably more mature, at the end of the day it just had way less action in it. OTOH, I just finished Mr Sunshine last week, and it was great. Pretty hard to go wrong with it (though it might have been nice for a few more characters to live, haha).

Define “moral values.” Vincenzo has a lot of killing in it. I wouldn’t call that moral. :) (It’s one of my favorites, by the way. I just find that a bizarre take of morality.)

Flower of evil is highly underrated and deserves more recognition

For just about some years ago I saw my first korean drama; Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung, and it really amazed me because of the great actors and of the story, and the history as well as the dresses too. I've seen some Shakespeare dramas earlier and this one felt like a korean Shakespeare drama. And it had everything.

Reply 1988 is a masterpiece. I have never seen another serial with so many character, each one with unique traits of their own and every one of them getting equal screen time. Not to mention the different dynamics portrayed between character, the comedy - everything!. The writers of that series deserve an award for making a series where there is no single evil character and yet plenty of conflict to keep it entertaining.

Extraordinary attorney Woo was awesome!

WOW, not having the ethernal Monarch on this list is insane! That was THE best Kdrama

[@anndorar1383]

i Adore that one too! also you might like Korean Odessey, another great fantasy - romance.

I agree with Donna McCarrey, how could you leave out Vincenzo: the ending alone was worth the ticket price. Started to watch The Glory but the bullying was too much for me (although my daughter watched the whole series) I also loved Law School and Weight-Lifting Fairy among others. Also, the one with the two detectives, an old one and a young one who is rich. It went for 2 seasons and was/is terrific.

Did you ever remember the name of the one with young and old rich detective?
