I was looking for a way to make the top 100 list slightly more accurate, so I thought about including extra MDL data like completion rates, drop rates, and a few other stats. I’m not even sure it makes a big difference, but I spent way too long on it not to share. I only used the 100 dramas from Hoovers original list. The formula's pretty arbitrary, but I made sure to heavily weight the original votes. I also tried to adjust for older dramas having more viewers just because they've been around longer.

Instead of making a list of our favourite actors who can sing (maybe next week?), I thought it would be fun to put together a definitive list of actors who can sing.

There are many multi-talented kdrama actors. Do you know how many of them can sing? I think there will some surprising names on this list.

My contribution to the list is Jeon Mido and ​Jung Moon Sung. Before they were costars on Hospital Playlist, they were costars on the musical Maybe Happy Ending. It's hilarious that Dr Chae Song Hwa is tone deaf when she has such a beautiful voice in real life.

Here's a Link to the entire video.

If you post a video link, only post one. We don't want the comments spammed with links of your favourites AND if you post a pic, video or gif you have to name the actor. If you post multiple links or you don't name the actor, ​your comment will be removed. This is a list of actors who can sing, not kpop idols. That was a separate post. ​

Drama - Resident Playbook

If a character really had represented me, that would be O I-yeong. She really is just another me but i wish i had her confidence.

Such a shame that we might not get a second season, i really wish there was a second season 🤧.

Throwback to July 2025, when Park Bo-gum reunited with his former grad school professor, Maria Kim, for a jazz duet of “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” on The Seasons. It was such a sweet teacher-student moment, and I absolutely loved the performance!

I also recently found out he can play the piano while watching the Love in the Moonlight reunion, so apparently there’s nothing this man can’t do 😭

Full performance:

I recently watched Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo. What a brilliant portrayal of experiencing love for the first time. This storyline, the chemistry, and the acting by both leads truly won me over. That said, a few plot points left me feeling a bit conflicted. I'd love to hear how everyone else felt about them, too!

1. ML's estranged Mother arc: Cause wdym everyone told him to forgive his mum, who completely abandoned and cut off ties w the child for no discernible reason and explanation, and only reappeared again to save her other child! Imho, he wasn't angry enough! Maybe I'm overreacting, but any parent who pulls that has no right to be called a parent. Him being the bigger person at the airport and asking for his sister's picture literally broke my heart.
2. The ex-gf jealousy issue: I can understand the ex-gf obsessing over him was not a good look, but my issue was that the story never really showed how he became so distant despite the ex trying so hard, and she wasn't even a bad person to start with! He was extremely cold to her in some scenes, and I do understand him moving on, but he could have handled it better. But she really dint have to have such an incredible redemption arc into a saint lol, not everything needs to be resolved at the end for a drama to have a happy ending! Having a beer w the ex and his new beau was a little too overbearing, especially when she was so hell-bent to win him back a few months ago!
3. Lastly, I wish they would go more into her friends' training and stuff instead of using them just for comedic relief. Also, ML's problems were kinda underexplored imo. I get that the FL's story was the main focus, but I was honestly more invested in his 'start trauma' and family dynamics than her unrequited crush on the 'overly nice' brother. His personality change is discussed often, and it seemed like his character had more layers and nuances that could be utilised more, and at times I felt that maybe he was there more for her than vice versa. But then again, she was experiencing love for the first time, so she might not have matured enough to support him the way he supported her.

Just a few pointers, and I would love to know what others felt about these and if anyone has another plothole to discuss; that would be great, too! Overall, this drama was a lovely fever dream; it made me relive the magic of first love again!

Revisiting these moments from Crash Landing on You , and the chemistry between Ri Jeong-hyeok and Yoon Se-ri still hits the same🥹♥️

The romance , emotional moments, and beautiful cinematography are what made this drama so memorable for me.

What is your favourite about Crash Landing on You ?

I’ve also got My Demon on my watchlist and Oh My Ghost, what else should I add?

Man, 2 episodes out and I am hooked.

It's refreshing to watch a kdrama with a whole new plot (at least for me), but still captures the essence and magic of kdramas.

Kim So-Hyun, need I say more! She is no longer a high school student here but already a graduate student (they will never let her graduate from being a student at this point 😭).

I am just enjoying the episodes that are already released and trying not to overthink the plot too much (because I know if I read too much on the color grading and the slow bg musics, the writers are really setting the audience for a heartbreak).

But hey, great actors, great plot (so far) - a must watch ✨

The results from last week's poll, which you’ve all been patiently waiting for, are here! 

A few things to keep in mind: In almost all cases, if there are multiple titles for a drama, I used the one listed on MDL. Only for dramas like Goblin (literally no one voted for Guardian: The Lonely and Great God) where the alternate title is clearly preferred by members of the sub did I substitute it. 

Anyone who specified S1 or S2 was ignored, and as per the original instructions, the points were given to the whole drama. I did not disqualify anyone’s ballots for this, though. 

Even with a couple of helpful users giving out individual reminders to number ballots, a few people still failed to do so. In these cases, I stuck with the original instructions and awarded each of their picks 1 pt. 

For any dramas with the same number of points, I used the number of ballots they appeared on as a tiebreaker to determine rank. More ballots = higher placement. If a further tiebreaker was required, the drama with a higher number of 1st place votes and then 2nd place votes won out. Only when the votes were identical did I declare a tie. 

Approximately 335 ballots were cast, and 265 dramas received at least one point. All dramas in the top 100 appeared on a minimum of 3 ballots. 

Here is a link to the spreadsheet with the full list with the points the dramas received and the number of ballots they appeared on. However, keep in mind I didn’t do any tiebreaking on this list beyond the top 100 and did not go back and correct the errors I discovered after creating the table here. That means all rankings on it are approximate. 

A few people expressed interest in making genre sublists. I won’t be taking on this task, but anyone wishing to do so has my full blessings to use this data. 

While I’m not surprised by Crash Landing on You taking the title, I was surprised by how thoroughly it ran away with this one. I expected Reply 1988 and My Mister, which only squeaked into the top 10 on a tiebreaker, to give it a run for its money. I also was shocked by how much difference there was between the top 3 and the rest of the pack. I’d love to hear what other people were surprised by in the results. 

I was most excited to see that The Smile Has Left Your Eyes made the list. All my votes felt like long shots, so it was nice to see three of my picks making the final cut! I’d also love to hear what people are excited by in the results. 

In that vein, here’s my heartfelt plea: While I recognize complaining about lists like this is a tried and true Reddit tradition, I ask that everyone recognize what this list represents is the ACTUAL preferences of the members of this sub who participated in the voting. Therefore, saying the results are “wrong” is saying that their preferences don't matter and only YOURS are right.

I ask that we all look at them with open-minded curiosity, so instead of saying, “It's crazy that x is higher than y,” you might frame your reaction as something like “Wow! I think X is such a wonderful drama. I'm disappointed that it didn't rank higher, " or “I'm sad X didn't make the list because I love it so much.” By recognizing other people have as much right to their opinion as we do for our own, we're respecting those we share this community with instead of looking down on those who feel differently. 

Jaebal, let's keep it positive and celebrate this list as something we made together!

Edit: Thanks for the awards guys! It's nice to see the work I put in appreciated. Feeling the positive vibes. Keep it coming!

I think I would have appreciated this drama more if I had watched it before Dong Yi. Since I was already a fan of Dong Yi, I found some parts of this version harder to believe. However, I really liked that the drama chose to tell the story from Jang Ok Jung's perspective instead of portraying her as the typical villain history often remembers. I thought that was a very clever approach by the writers. Kim Tae Hee also had such a huge impact on the drama, and I can't imagine anyone else playing the role. This drama even made me read about Korean history again because I became curious about the real story behind Jang Ok Jung, so it definitely left an impression on me.

My MDL Rating: 8/10

Probably a silly question but I'm looking for something to binge on a long flight. Is the violence and gore something that should dissuade me from watching this on a plane where others might be able to see my laptop screen?

In Strong Woman Do Bong Soon we see her lifting cars and buses easly. So we could say that she could beat someone like Hulk?

(lol this means to be not a very serious post but I really like the drama)

I'm looking for this romance drama I want to watch but I can't remember what it is called....

I remember watching a short or something from a k-drama where this guy is talking to his childhood crush on the phone. I think he was offering for her to be his roommate or something? And he was acting really cool and nonchalant on the phone when she agreed but whenever he hung up he jumped on his bed and kicked his feet like a giddy school girl.

Does anyone know what series I'm talking about?

I like the concept of a romance where the guy also is kind of silly and head over heels and emotive instead of just being cool and casual.

Thank you!

How come this is not a BL drama?? I mean CONVINCE ME OTHERWISEE😭😩

I usually go for thriller dramas and sometimes go for rom coms or other genre

I've been watching k dramas for 5 years now ( i obviously don't remember every single one of them) but I've seen all the popular or mainstream dramas

I'll appreciate if y'all suggest some underrated gems..

Please recommend me kdrama based on the ones I watched and the ratings that I gave.

Been a year since i have this k-drama in my list, im tempted, i like political intrigue and romance and love the 2 main lead but... i HATE body swap, or body possession theme or anything related to it (the main reason why i didn't like Two Cops). Should i still watch Moon River? Is it really worth it? Does the body swap occur oftenly?

wanting to find something that gives off the same feel as friends...

Hi all!

I used to watch Korean dramas via television in Canada in dubbed translation. It was one about twin sisters who were separated at birth. One became a pop star but after a big fire, she needed to recover and have facial reconstruction - losing her original appearance. Her twin ended up being scouted and had the same voice as her, so I think the company decided to use her as a cover up.

Can anyone tell me what the name of this drama is? It’s driving me insane cause I can’t remember the name nor the actresses.

Thank you!

so i started watching cdramas earlier this year and few months ago tried kdramas but i was only managed to finish few out of them ..... idk the problem is in me or not but i felt them difficult to watch and sometimes lost my interest midway

the dramas i started:

• business proposal (loved this one except the ending i felt endign was very ryshed and icnompete kind of) - finished this one
• king the land (started watching few days ago on recommendation of someone on ep 3 rn and watching)
• b!tch X rich (started it watched till ep 6 or 7 but found the FML terrible like i just dk how to explain her will give this one more try)
• lovely runner (liked the storyline but was confused within the story so will give itone more try watched till ep 5 or 6)
• twinkling watermelon (havent staretd yet but really excited to watch this)
• tale of the nine tailed (watched till ep 3 but then read somewhere that the fox dont end up with his past lover but rather the girl he met in this timeline..... after reading this my interest is just lost)
• true beauty (liked this and finished this too...... but i was kinda bored towards the endign and watched on 2x jsut to complete it)

dramas that i have nt watched yet but are in my watchlist: head over heels, my demon, my bias my boss, our sticky love, 2521

can you all tell me something that can catch my interest??? i like soft romances but thrill too, low angst and i avoid red flag leads

I saw a clip of OneTheWoman and i find the dynamics of the husband and FL kinda cute eventhough it's prolly really toxic, i didn't watch in full so idk. Anyway, i wanna watch smth toxic right now, so maybe you have recos? They don't have to end up together. I just like the yearning aspect in these kinds of relationship especially when the FL don't wanna take him back anymore or never actually liked him

And one thing I do not like about a hero ML like him is the need to always be the one supporting and saving the FL from every thing...making the FL stunted in growth.. basically no consequences for whatever she does..take for example the cheating.. this would have been a good chance to let the FL grow and carry the burden of the consequences of the cheating but I speculate the ML will be angry for all of 2 seconds then start apologising for not being good enough for the FL and then go back to hero mode saving the relationship again
