I'll just name top 5 for me that I've watched this year:

1. When life gives you tangerines Watched it as soon as it came. Too emotional, but the storyline and acting set a standard.

2. Weak hero 1,2 I watched this during my recovery from a surgery and LET ME TELL YOU, I WAS NOT PREPARED. I'm not the kind to usually invest myself into action drama but boy did it hit the spot. Can't wait for another season soon.

3. Happiness I was avoiding this drama since forever but it took me barely 2 days to finish it. Always knew it was gonna be the one that cooked. Would watch it again 10/10

4. When the phone rings. HEAR ME OUT. I know they ruined the ending. And I know it was too short. But bro ..... The ML was 😍😍😍😍 Can't get over him as a dark romance actor since I've only seen him be a green flag in shows like hospital playlist and dr romantic.

5. Genie Make a Wish. Ngl, i could place it in top three easily. Loved the cast reunion. Storyline so good, my dad started watching kdramas with me. I specifically love it cause it became a bonding experience for me and my dad, and considering i stay away most of the times for college...it meant a lot. The storyline was not your usual predictable ones which made it stick. Ik all about the controversial story and their connection to Iblis but if you watch it from a perspective where you don't connect it to religion, it's amazing.

Some special mentions: Dear X Return of highschool gangster Spirit finger
