I am a software engineer by profession. I love spending all my free time in kDrama world. My favorite genres are Romance, Melodrama and Youth. I prefer modern day settings. No hate to period dramas but they are just not my cup of tea. I am in this dramaworld journey for about 5 years now and got to say there have been several masterpieces that have made me fall in love with the culture depicted in these dramas, especially Korean culture.

Some of the masterpieces that I love

1. 1 liter of tears: This would always be close to my heart. As a disabled person myself with a similar story, I was shocked at first with how the struggles of FL seemed to overlap with my experiences. I was able to take lot of positives in how to have a more positive outlook on despite the adversities. Of course like many I would not dare to rewatch this due to fear of dehydration. The title itself screams that you need to hydrate yourself due to the loss of 1 liter of water from your body with tears.
2. Mother/Lie After Lie/Woman: Two very different and yet very similar dramas. Definitely one of the few dramas that made me love melodrama genre. I was so drowned into the power of motherhood depicted in both and how much a mother is willing to sacrifice to protect whom they consider their own.
3. Soredemo, Ikite Yuku: Beautiful showcase of how a crime impacts both the victim's as well as the perpetrator's families. The melancholy of the leads when they realize they are delving into a forbidden love between two people who shouldn't be involved in each others life. I would like to give special mention to Call It Love and Autumn Tale
4. My Mister: I loved everything about this. Just everything.
5. Noona Romance: I know its not a drama name, but there's something in this subgenre that I really like. 18 Again, Melancholia, Lost, At a Distance, Spring Is Green, When the Camellia Blooms, Encounter, Romance Is a Bonus Book, Why Her, Falling Into You, My Fated Boy
6. Go Ahead: My first and best Chinese rodeo. This had nothing you can hate.
7. I Belonged to Your World: What a son can sacrifice for a mother.
8. Mouse: The perfect Mystery Thriller. So far the best second half of a drama.
9. Something In The Rain (Till Ep 9): What is romance? This is romance. So far the best first half of a drama. Second half was a major letdown but who cares I watch only till Ep. 9.
10. Someday or One Day: Time travel done perfectly. Special mention to My Perfect Stranger, Shining for One Thing, Reset, Boku Dake ga Inai Machi
11. Body Switch: Once again a subgenre. Secret Garden, When You Be Me, The Day of Becoming You, Mr Queen, Kojinsa Arimasu
