Ranking Dramas I Watched In 2025
Including all dramas I watched in 2025. Will include a drama I started in 2024 or before if I watch more than half of it in 2025.
I also put dramas I plan to watch soon in this list with the month I intend to start these shows in.

1. Light Shop
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

Without spoiling anything, the best kdrama of all times. This made it to my list: The GOAT Dramas That Will Stay With Me Forever
I took a photo of the amount of tissues I used to show it to people and tell them that this is to be considered my no word review for the drama. I barely cry, but I love it when dramas are able to make me cry (or any piece of entertainment media).

Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

3. Back to 1989
Taiwanese Drama - 2016, 21 episodes
CW January
Last time I watched a Taiwanese time travel drama, it became my topmost favourite drama that was also first to enter my The GOAT Dramas That Will Stay With Me Forever list. Although I don't hope for it to be as good as SOOD (that is a VERY DIFFICULT task), I expect to be blown away yet again by the magic of Taiwan.

4. Crash Landing on You
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
CW January
Woah, the first episode was fantastic! I am getting the same feeling that I got while watching my absolute favourite romcom, Love Scenery. Hoping that this will be as good as that as this might be one of the very few kdramas for which I predicted the rating I'd give it: 9.5 or 10.
I am hoping to love this one since I liked LOTBS by Park Ji Eun despite its shortcomings. This one is said to be way better than LOTBS and since I was impressed enough by LOTBS, I can be sure that I'd love it.

5. Goblin
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
CW January
So far I get this one's popularity and ratings. Such a great opening episode.
The real challenge however is for it to be great even till the last episode. May this drama avoid the very common kdrama curse of tanking 2nd half. If it stays as great as the first episode, it will be a 9-10 for me

6. Queenmaker
Korean Drama - 2023, 11 episodes
CW (might drop soon) January
Just started this with hopes of watching a feminist drama. What I am being served here instead is way over the top plot that makes 0 sense a lot of times. This turned out to be a heavy makjang, even though people reviewed it to be not a makjang. All the screaming affected my hearing. I can't believe this was what people were praising.
Also, it will be very hard to support and root for the FL after what the she does in the 1st episode with her employ.
Also, what an irony that a feminist drama talking about the things women go through features an actor that has raped a minor. HAHAHAHA feminist drama my a**
