All Time Favourites

Simply legendary, and criminally underrated. Think you have already seen the best saeguk? Watch this, and think again. It had everything: brilliant character arcs, a compelling narrative, powerful commentary, and so much I cannot write down into words. Thinking about it even now makes my heart race. 

It was not happy, but who needs happy when the story is so engrossing, the struggles so realistically etched, and, most importantly, womanhood given respect? There is a lot of food for thought in this, as it is so honest about life and relationships. The music, again, was so well-integrated throughout the narrative, it gave a life to the story. 

The cast? Brilliant, from the main to the support. The plot? Great progression, asks the right questions - very thought-provoking. Now add that to a slow-burn, organic romance, with a heart-wrenching bromance, a badass and empathetic female lead, and you get a recipe for the k-drama that hits the right spots. Nothing quite like this out there, I swear.

Fast-paced, suspenseful, open-ended (in the best possible way), with such an intricately woven plot and elements that make you ponder over what is right, wrong, and who should police our morality. Another powerful thriller I had the pleasure of watching. It also happens to have a brilliant BGM, one of the most memorable ones ever. (I am guilty of shipping the younger two investigators and that also added to my viewing pleasure but that's besides the point because it's fortunately and unfortunately OCN *cries*.)

What's not to love? Moving OSTs, a severe case of second-lead syndrome, great life lessons, lots of laughs and tears, a severe case of second-lead syndrome, hits the right spots, brilliant cast, a severe case of second-lead syndrome, simply beautiful in its realism and emotions. Did I mention a severe case of second-lead syndrome? Jokes aside, it is incredibly powerful and wholesome.
