Without k-dramas, I really have no idea what I'd do with my free time. These dramas are the ones I've finished and recommend to others. 

I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately, so finishing a drama has become really hard for me. I still enjoy them though, so this list is still slowly getting updated

(Ratings are subjective!!)

The Dramas I've Watched

JTBC

&nbsp;
Although Do Bong Soon uses her bloodline’s remarkable force for good, her one true desire is to create a video game where she appears as the main character.

As Bong Soon helps her new boss track down someone making dangerous threats against him, she also strives to capture attention from her childhood friend and rookie police detective Guk Doo (Ji Soo), who’s searching for an insidious kidnapper.
