12 Kdramas SO GOOD They Make Everything Else Seem Like Trash! (Ft HappySqueak) 

0:53 Sqiud Game 2:28 While you were sleeping 3:20 Hometown Cha Cha Ch 4:15 Taxi Driver 5:13 Goblin 6:15 Kingdom 7:17 Reply 1988 8:25 Tomorrow 9:24 Twenty-five twenty-one 10:22 Sky Castle 11:28 Signal 12:25 Move to heaven All solid choices. Loved those dramas.

tomorrow is seriously so underrated, almost every episode got me crying, even the one with the dog's story

"Kill me, Heal me" must be one of the best dramas out there. Dealing with such a sensitive topic as DID properly is difficult, plus Ji Sung's work is splendid. It is a drama that has everything, romance, comedy, drama and seriousness, I have seen it repeatedly and I never get tired of it, really, if you do not know it, give it a chance, it can change your life.

The fact that Lee Je Hoon is the lead for 3 dramas on this list should tell you something. Taxi driver, move to heaven and signal were exceptional!

And the new kdrama is “Extraordinaly attorneys woo” this drama ki amazing✨🦋🦋😌

Flower of Evil, Mouse, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, and Kill Me Heal Me are amazing dramas too! Seriously, they have such good plots with excellent script writing, and the casts play their roles so well!

Presently watching "Alchemy of Souls" --- no fillers.------ Enjoying every bit of it." The king" ---- eternal monarch was a beautiful parallel reality with lee min ho. "Vincenzo"--- definitely nice paced fighting to bring justice Korean/Italian mafia style. " Sisypus" well done--- going back in time to prevent mishap. "Hotel de luna"and "The Clown Crown" was also nice. Mr Sunshine was wonderful--- three destined males in the perfect positions karmically to help the female lead maintain her goal.

Tomorrow just hit different man, touched my soul. Touching upon so many important topics, it is a true gem and will remain supreme!!! Can't believe/understand why it didn't receive more recognition. The actors were just amazing. My goodness, did not know I had a thing for grim reapers.

I’m an American who lives in Arizona, I wanted to watch something different on tv, so I went to Netflix and picked a k-drama. Here I am 3 months later and haven’t left. I watch one after another. I’m in this rabbit hole and don’t want to get out. They put me in a happy mood.😊

It’s Okay to not be Okay is my all time favorite! It was not on this list. It had it all in my opinion - romance, comedy, and such sweet dealings with difficult mental health issues. The acting was incredible! I’m firmly down the rabbit hole since starting K dramas six months ago! 😂 There have been several I seriously could not watch the last episode because of what I knew would happen - Start Up, Yumis cells … 😭😂. I was so mad at who she chose for Start Up that I literally refused to watch it. And can I say that I hate the shows being dubbed. It’s a bit harder for me having to read the subtitles but I much prefer the actors real voices personally. I haven’t watched Vicenzo yet because it’s dubbed but I love the male lead so much! I’m amazed at the charisma and talent of so many of these actors - Jung Hae In in particular. I really want to watch Snow Drop but I just can’t subscribe to every streaming service sadly.

There are SOOO many good ones! Itaewon Class, King's Affection, My Mister, It's Okay to Not Be Okay, Crash Landing On You (personal fave) & Snowdrop are all worthy of a mention.

Having watched quite a few K-dramas now, My Mister stands out as one of the very best in terms of story, script, character development and acting. It's a must see ☺️

This is a fantastic list! I'll add "W- Two Worlds" to the top 5 of this list... anyone who hasn't seen it is MISSING OUT!!! Also "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" belongs to this list for the switch in having a woman as the heroine and a truly psycho villain.

Very pleased to see "Move to Heaven" on this list, it was deeply moving and really special. Also a second season would definitely be justified. I've seen and loved more than half of these, repeated many of them ("Goblin", "While You Were Sleeping" and "Signal" are great to revisit). Others I've gone back to are "The K2," "Vagabond," "A Korean Odyssey," Crash Landing on You," Romance is a Bonus Book" and "Rookie Historian".

Crash Landing is my all time favorite. It was not my first K-drama, which was the King's Affection (which I love and still watch), but it raised the bar for me. The acting was great, the chemistry was very strong, and the male lead was unbearably sexy (especially in uniform, to be honest). I think I like it more than other k-romances because the actors are older (as I am). Also, there is something fascinating in an awful way about the North Korea/South Korea divide. Yes, the lead female character is gross in certain ways (all money, money, money), but she's also likable and genuine. But the ending was disappointing. Grrr! I am now a full blown K-drama junkie, however, largely because I can't get over how handsome the men are. Good grief! Must make a visit to Korea soon!

Vincenzo is absolutely hilarious and stands out from majority of kdramas 👍

I started watching K-dramas during the 2020 quarantine and am hooked - SO much better than American "reality" TV! Goblin has to be my favorite of the group, but now I'm excited to watch some of the others you've listed. Thanks!

Hometown Cha Cha Cha is my absolute favorite show ever...and that includes out of american shows too. It's a masterpiece with some of the best acting I've seen! I'm a huge fan

Add Mr Queen to the list it's one of the best kdramas and a must watch even if you don't like historical dramas or won't have watched one just give it a shot you aren't going to regret anything.

“Move to heaven” is the drama everyone should watch💜 “Mouse”, “Flower of evil” and “Crash landing on you” should be in the list as well!

I can't believe you didn't talk about My Mister, that drama is a number 1 for me! It is the only drama where I was invested in ALL the characters that starred, plus it dealt with serious topics that occur in everyday life

A few notable mentions "Crash Landing on you" "Vincenzo" "Business Proposal"

My favorite dramas are: 1) Because this is my first life 2) Our beloved summer 3)Hometown cha cha cha 4) Move to heaven 5) Tomorrow 6) Romance is a bonus book 7) Hospital playlist 1&2 8)It's ok to not be ok 9) Happiness 10) Vincenzo

"Youth of May" is sooo underrated. One of the most heartbreaking kdramas of all time😭. A must watch!

Where’s itaewon class? Crash landing on you? Mr queen? Pinocchio? A lot more too. These in the video seems to be Netflix favs but you’re missing out if you’re restricting yourself to those mentioned in the video

I've watched all of these on your list. My personal favorite is "Reply 1988". Watched it many times and have followed the career of Hyeri and found she is just a brilliant actress,

I think Mr sunshine should be here, very good directory , well written and high quality budget. The cast is also amazing.

Goblin is one of my all time favorites. So is While You Were Sleeping. Jung Hae In is an amazing actor: Something in the Rain, One Spring Night, - both great shows that could have made the list. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo and Strong Girl Bong Soon are also on my top 10. I also love Rookie Historian Goo Hae-Ryung and Hwarang. Itaewon Class, Dear My Friends, and Where the Camellia Blooms are also not to be missed.

sat here waiting for these titles to show up but they never did, so i'll list them myself: - VINCENZO: a dark comedy w/ one hell of a twist (you will do a double-take; might even go back and rewatch the first few episodes to make sure you didn't misunderstand) and one of the most natural slow-burn romances seen. this one really has *everything* you'd want in a k-drama. it's top-tier. - BUSINESS PROPOSAL: a perfect, all-in-one blend of the quintessential romance genre tropes and deliciously done so; plus, the two couples look like they could've given birth to kim taehyung (shin ha-ri & kang tae-mu) and jeon jungkook (jin young-seo & cha sung-hoon) of bts. - RUN-ON: a refreshing in every which way yet shamefully underrated drama. - MY MISTER: a heartwarming story about an unlikely friendship between a down-on-her-luck young woman and a wronged-yet-noble middle-aged man; their relationship is the word comfort itself. - START-UP: incredibly inspiring with an endearing relationship between a young kid and a sweet ol' grandma. - ITAEWON CLASS: super-inclusive bad-ass revenge drama with an awesome soundtrack, to boot. the titles mentioned in this video are brilliant. i especially loved signal, goblin and hometown cha cha cha. currently watching twenty-five twenty-one and tomorrow and i've got reply 1988 and taxi driver on my watchlist!

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. None of these are on my top 12, however Vincenzo, Lovers of the Red Sky, Moon Lovers, the Scholar who walked the Night among others are.

The Devil Judge and Innocent Defendant. Both with Ji Sung. Brilliant both, but not the talk of the town, unfortunately. Ji Sung is the king of kdrama. Capable to show such a charisma that was barely seen on screen since the invention of TV.

I loved “Tunnel” starring Choi Jin Hyuk. A thriller, suspense filled sentimental drama about a policeman who time slips into the future to catch a serial killer.

Tomorrow is something nobody can miss! It’s a beautiful family friendly treasure (family friendly meaning there’s no romance so you don’t feel awkward when watching with strict Parents)

Some of the shows I recommend • The smile has left your eyes • Flower of Evil • Anna •Because it's my first life • Remarriage and desires • The world of married • My name •Vincenzo • Eve •Extraordinary attorney woo young woo •Alchelmy of souls

Although i hate the ending 'Twenty Five Twenty One ' top my list. One of the best kdrama existing out here and I swear by it. Honestly I first started watching this drama for NJH but Kim Tae Ri was the one I fell for.A drama that reflected the face of reality so beautifully. It showed us the way life actually works and turns out to be, never knowing what difficulties or the happiness awaits us at the curve. It's not like every other feelgood k-drama. You guys should also check out Kim Taeri's 'Mr Sunshine' and 'The Handmaiden. Its so good. Now im her biggest fan ♥️

Tomorrow is so underrated, it deserves more viewers and ratings. There is no way you hate this series. I have re-watch it 3 times and i am still Willing to watch it. It is one of my most favorite drama. I have watched many dramas but this one is in my top list.

You should add Hotel del Luna too in this list 🥺

Extraordinary attorney woo is my happy dose🥰 All of the series mentioned are great 😍❤ Also I loveeee move to heaven and tomorrow 😭😘

Move to Heaven was outstanding. Wish they’d make another season. The male who played the lead was an amazing actor. Everyone turned in stellar performances.

sorry but what about Moon Lovers, My Mister, Mister Sunshine, Korean Odyssey, My Love from the Stars, It is OK not to be OK, Crash Landing on you.... there are lots of Dramas that equal your 12.

Vincenzo should be on this list.

Hometown cha cha cha is my favorite from this list. As for dramas that got me hooked recently, I would say Ghost Doctor with Rain and Kim Bum. It hooked me good. I binged the series in one sitting.

Flower of Evil, My love from the stars, Oh my Ghost, Record of Youth, W - Two worlds, It's Ok Not to Be Ok, Crash Landing Onto You just a few of my favorites!! I watched 5 out of the 12 you recommended - will watch the rest

My top dramas (without order): Our beloved summer Flower of evil Reply 1988 It's okay to not be okay Weightlifting fairy kim bok-joo While you were sleeping Happiness Special mentions : Oh my venus, dream high, my love from the stars, goblin, all of us are dead & squid game (see more), beautiful world, vincenzo, deserter pursuit, taxi driver, extraordinary attorney woo, full house, tomorrow, remarriage and desires, move to heaven Worst/best villains : I can hear your voice, flower of evil, vincenzo, the penthouse, class of lies, happiness, remarriage and desires Romance : our beloved summer, goblin, it's okay to not be okay, weightlifting fairy kim bok-joo, hapiness, the flower of evil Best OSTs (without order and including all those of the dramas, if there is only one it IS because it marked me the most) : Reply 1988 It's okay to not be okay Our beloved summer Flower of evil (Feel you) Crash landing on you Oh my venus (Beautiful lady, Darling U) My love from the stars (My destiny) Itaewon class It's okay, that's love (Best luck) Descendants of the sun (Everytime, Once again) Happiness Best family's relationships : Flower of evil (father-daughter) Hospital Playlist (father-son) Dernier train pour busan (father-daughter) Reply 1988 (all but in particular Mi-ran et Jung hwan) Happiness (siblings) Ps: I'm french so maybe the name of some dramas aren't the same as other countries

I would like to add : 1. My Mister 2. Mr Sunshine 3. Mother 4. Our Blues 5. Itaewon Class

Beyond evil and Devil Judge were amazing for me- on a whole new level!! I wish they'd be talked about a lot more ❤️. Chicago Typewriter was also wonderful!

I just watched the most amazing series!! The Crowned Clown 💗 The cast and acting was superb. The storyline was so engaging. There is drama, romance, comedy, beautiful cinematography & wardrobe… I can’t say enough. This is my favorite overall 👏🏼 Highly recommended to watch. Plus the actors are so beautiful. Mesmerizing 💗

Seeing Tomorrow being in Top 12 at 5th position makes me so happy. A must watch!!

I loved Goblin, and Tomorrow actually moved this cynical heart to tears more than once. I loved this show. I have enjoyed many K-dramas, and I don't know if you class these as great, but this year I have watched From Now On, Showtime and Jirisan which have had me hooked. I haven't watched any American by-the-numbers shows since I discovered Asian dramas.

For me “Crush landing on you” is the best one ever! I highly recommend it!!!

Thanks for this video, I started watching Korean dramas in 2021, Goblin was the 1st one I watched, I was so impressed that I got my fiance to watch with me he enjoyed Voice, & Vagabond.... I've watched so many Korean dramas and I've enjoyed each one.... The actors portry the characters so well that when I watch Hollywood movies I pick up the bad acting real quick, I've watched most of the dramas on your list, but you left out King the eternal monarch it was a really good fantasy one I enjoyed, it was my 2nd one I watched after Goblin.... Thank you!!! Korea for producing these brilliant TV dramas....

"All of us are dead" is pretty good, too. I highly recommend it! I doubt you'll regret watching it.

Crash Landing On You is my all time favorite. Not only does it provide a peek at life in N Korea and the cultural differences between a communist society and a free society, it provides a well written love romance, with added humor. It was well casted, too - from the key stars to the supporting actors and actresses. The cinematography - how it was produced, screen played, and filmed - adds to this excellent story line. I introduce others to K Drama by showing them Crash Landing on You first. It is a must see K Drama.

i’ve never bawled my eyes out and been absolutely furious more to a kdrama then in tomorrow but i also never laughed and smiled more than in tomorrow because the cases they worked on and the people they saved was so endearing

Enjoyed your list. Noticed Lee Je Hoom is in 3 of the 12. Since you listed Signal , a suspence thriller (that I love), I suggest watching the drama Mouse. From start to end I could walk away. This drama allowed all actors (women, men, children, young adult, adult, and elderly) to deliver great performances. Like your channel! I have watched dramas based on your reviews.

Started watching KDrama 12 years ago, have not watched regular tv ever since.Mischa outstanding acting. Beautiful,cinematography,great costumes in the historical dramas. Stunning scenery.

You forgot Vincenzo.

My Mister was a masterpiece. One of the BEST KDramas ever made!!

Navillera is missed in this list...it's a beautifully sad kdrama... I am happy that Reply 1988 and Goblin made it to this list...

“It’s okay to not be okay” is a MASTERPIECE. It’s the best drama I have ever watched.

Tomorrow deserves sooo much more attention it is one of the best drama I have seen ever

Vincenzo, happiness,cloy, it's okay not to be okay, strong woman do bong soon, 2521, dots , weightlifting fairy, these are my favourite ones

Frankly, especially if compared to works here in the United States, most K-dramas would be on this list. I find them entertaining and well written.

The following K-dramas are all No. 1 on my list: 1. FATED TO LOVE YOU - Oh my Lord, I watched it twice and I am planning to watch it again. This drama got me hooked to K-dramas. I fell in love with the actor and actress. They had great chemistry. 1. Squid Game, God so realistic it was scary. 1. Extraordinary Attorney Woo - amazing actress, amazing drama and amazing story. The actress was fabulous and never lost sight of the character. 1. Crash Landing on You - I laughed, I cried, I learned, and again I cried. Loved it.

You can't make a best kdrama list without including Scarlett Heart Ryeo.

Just finished watching "My Liberation Notes" and it fits on this list . . . so damn GOOD !

I loved all of these especially Tomorrow and Goblin. Twenty-five, Twenty-one was so incredible until the end.

I will add to this list "Mr. Queen", "Vincenzo", "Graceful Family", "Mr. Sunshine", "Mad for each other"

here is a list of some of my favorite kdramas Legend of the blue sea Business Proposal All of us are dead Mr. Queen Weightlifting fairy Doctors Strong women do bong soon It’s ok not to be ok Hello monster Empress ki Shopping king louie Beauty inside Healer Happiness Flower of Evil 18 again

Drama "Tomorrow" has inspiring stories. Rowoon, Kim Hee-Seon, Lee Soo-Hyuk, Yun Ji-On are all great actors. I feel however the directors did not bring out the stories as good as they should. As a result, some episodes were a bit slow. Nonetheless, "Tomorrow" is still a drama worth watching.

Tomorrow was the first kdrama I watched. It was amazing and I was hooked after that. The Uncanny Counter had a great storyline and wonderful acting. I just finished watching My Name last night and can't stop thinking about it. The music, characters, it's all so well done you can't help but be invested in the story. Vagabond, too.

I've rewatched twenty five twenty one like five-six times already and I'm telling you, this drama is indeed a masterpiece. I love this drama so so much. Like, everything in this series is perfect! The actors, the dialogue delivery, romance, humor, the OSTs and this series have portrayed fencing so accurately and this indeed left me in tears in the end. I would highly recommend it to everybody!

Surprised that IONTBO, Crash Landing on You is not here but Homecha, 2521 really do make it feel like theres nothing better.

Moonlight drawn by clouds.. Strong Woman Bon Soon, descendants of the sun, the masters sun, Hyena, alchemy of souls.. so many amazing dramas..I’ve been watching Korean Ja-anise and Chinese dramas for many years and their stories are so good! So happy to see them become more mainstream now bc they deserve all the accolades they are receiving!

I know its a list of 12 but Misaeng should've been there too it's one of my all time faves. It's such a gem that portrays the day to day struggles of work life and is quite relatable.

I would like to add 1. Crash landing on you 2. Tale of nine tailed 3. Legend of blue sea 4. Vincenzo 5. Business proposal 6. Mr. Queen 7. Flower of evil 8. What's wrong with secretary kim

Goblin, Taxi Driver, Tomorrow and Move to Heaven were my favorites. Hometown Cha Cha Cha is also great!

While you were sleeping is the best drama. The suspense at the end of every episode send you at the edge of the rollercoaster. The romance scenes perfectly balance the thriller scenes and the comedy scenes are also very well done. As a viewer we lean towards the second lead(Jung Hae in) in few scenes. But, the chemistry between Lee Jong Suk and Suzy is worth watching again and again. Special mention to the drama cinematography, beautiful frames throughout the drama...

1 - My mister 2 - The king's affection 3 - Extraordinary attorney Woo 4 - The Empress Ki 5 - Secret affair 6 - Mr. Queen 7 - Itaewon class 8 - Vincenzo 9 - Mr. Sunshine 10 - Sky castle 11 - Move to heaven 12 - One Spring night

Out of your 12 I’ve watched 7 my fav being 25/21 second beingReply 1988 My all time favorites are Crash Landing on you, Mr Sunshine, Its ok to not be ok, Liberation Notes, Attorney Woo, Our Blues and Dear my friends

My Name starring Han So-Hee, is so awesome it shouldn't be overlooked. She did all actions scene and stunts by herself

I didn't see Start Up, It's okay to not be okay, Flower of evil, Extracurricular, and Extraordinary you.

Vincenzo, Hotel Del Luna, It's okay to not b okay, Moon Lovers... there are so many more really exeptional dramas

Looking forward to watching some of these. My top 3: The Crowned Clown, Autumn's Concerto and That Winter, The Wind Blows

It's ok to not be ok , Our beloved summer , Crash landing on you and Doctors deserve to be here ! They're all so good

“Move to Heaven” and “Tomorrow “ are 2 of the best Kdrama’s seen on this list. There are more of course, but these are really special. Enjoy fellow Kdrama fans!! Thanks S.Korea for bringing us these outstanding stories that stole our hearts! ❤️ The writers and actors are very talented people and deserve recognition! Edited to add “Sisyphus The Myth ” a sophisticated SiFi that is binge worthy keeping us on the edge of our seats! Sisyphus is the name of an Ancient Greek god who was an evil trickster - it fits this drama! Oh my gosh as surreal and bizarre parts of it are you keep rooting for the 2main characters and it’s scary enough to think parts of it could really happen. Nail biting and heart breaking! All of the actors are outstanding!!

Awesome! Not only are there a few on the list I haven’t seen, but suggestions in the comments are great too. I am always looking for high quality suggestions. Going to have to save this vid. Thanks!

"Crash landing on you" best ❤️. How come no one talking about that 😭

There are some old kdramas that are just so good they are unforgettable such as Kill me Heal me, Stairway to Heaven and Secret Garden.

I would like to add: 1. It’s Okay To Not Be Okay 2. Our Beloved Summer 3. Beautiful World 4. Extraordinary Attorney Woo 5. Anna 6. Pinocchio 7. The Uncanny Counter 8. My Love From The Star 9. Business Proposal 10. Mr. Queen

Crash Landing on You, Vincenzo and Tunnel need to be added to this otherwise great list. When I'm introducing American friends to KDdama, those are the ones I suggest they watch first to get hooked!

My top 10 not your average drama playlist. 1. Flower of Evil 2. My Ajussi 3. Come and Hug me 4. The smile has left your eyes 5. Ill go to you when the weather is nice 6. The Liberation Notes 7. Our Blues 8. Prison Playbook 9. I wanna hear your song 10. Uncontrollably fond

I'm so glad Move to Heaven was in the top spot. I shed so many tears. I would also add in Vencenzo, such a well acted well balanced drama and Flower of Evil. Again, the acting was superb. 👌💕

My Liberation Notes! Hands down the best! Song Suk-Ku and Kim Ji-Won truly make the characters and world that Park Hae-Young created shine.

thankyou so much for adding tomorrow because IT IS SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED, and so good! I had a hard time being interested in another drama after watching it

18 again, Shopping King Louie, My ID is Gangnam beauty, The beauty inside, Thirty nine, The devil judge, You raise me up, all underrated!

vincenzo should be in this list its perfect in every way

There were 3 dramas out of the 5 that I expected to see that weren't on this list. 1. Boys Over Flowers 2. Vincenzo 3. Crash Landing on You The other two that WERE on the list were Squid Game and Goblin.

I totally loved Extraordinary you such fresh concept and interesting plotline.

My faves 12 lists; Alchemy of Souls, Business Proposal, It's okay not to be okay, The Myth: Sisyphus, The Kings Affection,Memories of Alhambra, Extra ordinary Atty Woo,Home Town Chacha, Itaewon Class, Flower of Evil, What's wrong with Sec. Kim, Crash Landing On you, Vicenzo
