Flower Boy Next Door

When I was first getting into drama back in late 2013, I started with all the popular romantic comedies, most of which starred Park Shin-hye. I was like, "Wait... Didn't I just see her in You're Beautiful? And wasn't he in Boys Over Flowers? Wow, Heirs is weird." After the torturous, angsty Heirs I found Flower Boy Next Door, which resonated with me far more than any other show I'd watched thus far. It still has a special place in my heart.

I Remember You

I Remember You, otherwise known as Hello Monster, came out last year and effortlessly climbed it's way onto my list of favourite shows - probably coming second to I Can Hear Your Voice.  Or first. I drift back and forth nowadays. Although it recieved lackluster ratings, it was a perfectly sharp and thrilling watch.

NOTE: There are some spoilers. I tried my best not to spoil anything important, but it's so damn hard! If you don't want any clues towards the bigger mysteries of the show, I suggest you watch the series first and then come back.

Some Time Travel Drama to Sink Your Teeth Into

God, I love time-travel drama, and I'm crazily excited for Tomorrow With You, a drama starring Lee Je-hoon which will air first-thing next year. In addition, Scarlet Heart: Goryeo is coming out soon, so with all the time-travel to look forward to I figured I'd make a list of other shows that will satisfy me - and perhaps you - until then.

Top 5 Older Woman / Younger Man Romance Drama

Noona romance is definitely my favourite subgenre of romance. Of course, it's only called that in Korea, and I have some Japanese shows to talk about as well, so I had to use a longer, more literal description with the title.

Gokusen VS Misaki Number One!!

Ah, Gokusen. It's still one of my favourites. It's a show about a teacher who kicks ass to protect her students - what's not to love? Well, I recently found a show called Misaki Number One!! and it's fairly new. It's about a hostess who becomes a teacher and brings her students together, and it bares many similarities to Gokusen. Naturally, my first thought was that was going to be a very sparkly copy, but regardless of whether it was or wasn't, I've definitely fallen in love with it.
