These are my ratings for the dramas that I have watched so far on how much I have enjoyed them, thus this doesn’t reflect the quality of the drama as is, it’s only my own basis. I can remember how much I’ve enjoyed a drama, how much it disappoint me and thankfully there weren’t a lot. Please remember that the bold ones are the ones I’m still currently watching and rated on how I enjoy them currently on the episode wherein I am currently in.
1 lowest = 10 highest.
Contemporary / Modern dramas:
A Man’s Story |
KID says: Great music, directing and acting. Plot was a little messy but enjoyable. Totally underrated. |
|
Bad Guy / Bad Boy |
KID says: The ending wiped off all the enjoyment I had. But the drama had potential if it just ended wisely. |
|
Beethoven Virus |
KID says: Kim Myung Min was amazing in this show, but Lee Ji Ah was a mess. I expected a lot from this show but none of it came true, yet it was fun and amusing. |
|
Boys Over Flowers |
KID says: A truly enjoyable chick-flick show, but this was truly just a remake of the original. Watch it for the eyes, not for the brain. |
|
Cain and Abel |
KID says: Utterly entertaining at the start, but became boring, repetitive and nonsense at the end that the passion was lost. But Han Ji Min was cute. |
|
Call of the Country |
KID says: So far, boring and corny. |
|
Cinderella’s Sister |
KID says: Weak start, but developed very well at the latter part. Though it became really confusing because of thedevelopment of plots. |
|
Cloud Stairway |
KID says: Watched it for Han Ji Hye but the soundtrack and the romance part was attractive and fun to watch. |
|
Coffee House |
KID says: Witty and fun. A very enjoyable show, a cute chemistry from the leads and everyone pulled off a great & funny performance. |
|
Coffee Prince |
KID says: The too much fuss about it killed the enjoyment over it. But it was really really funny. Though I just wish there were more moments where YEH wasn’t cross-dressing. |
|
Dal Ja’s Spring |
KID says: Chae Rim absolutely did an awesome job as the witty, Dal-Ja. She and Lee Min Ki had a very awesome chemistry. The situations were funny as well. Plot was easily understood. |
|
Dream 드림 = 4 |
KID says: I watched it for Son Dam-Bi but ended up hating the whole show because it was purely nonsense. Jerry Maguire was enough, no need for this Korean remake. |
|
Fantasy Couple |
KID says: A precious drama that gave hope to Han Ye-Seul. It was fun and the plot was amazing. Chemistry was not too much to look forward, but it was developed romantically well. |
|
Full House 풀하우스 = 10 |
KID says: Watched it many times but it was still funny. Rain and Song Hye-Kyo were a cute and funny couple. |
|
God of Study |
KID says: The bonding of the kids and the puppy love was nice, but it only reminded me to study. I don’t need that in a drama. |
|
Green Rose |
KID says: Proved so much that Lee Da-Hae is very talented. Lee Jong-Hyuk was crazy and scary, but it was very melodramatic. |
|
Harvest Villa |
KID says: A very disappointing show. The secrets became too much, I was leaning to funny but it went to inhumane. |
|
He Who Can’t Marry |
KID says: Uhm Jung-Hwa was the perfect ahjumma, Ji Jin-Hee has proved its worth, Kim So-Eun was a hidden talent. But never compare it to the original. |
|
Hello! Miss |
KID says: Lee Da-Hae’s talent was once wasted. A bad comeback for her after My Girl. What was this show about? Tss.. |
|
I Am Legend |
KID says: Quirky ahjummas, refreshing new music and to top it all, Kim Jung-Eun? SOLD! |
|
I Hate You, But Let’s Try Again |
KID says: Entertaining at the start but lost its thunder at the middle and the end. |
|
IRIS 아이리스 = 7 |
KID says: This proves that Action has to be well-developed on the K-entertainment. The production team was too greedy to achieve so much. I just wish it ended at Episode 17. |
|
Love Marriage |
KID says: It’s very romantic and sweet, despite the lack of chemistry between the leads. And the supporting roles were also interesting. |
|
Lovers in Paris |
KID says: One of the reasons why a romantic-comedy drama is sweet. Kim Jung Eun was to look forward, so is Park Shin Yang. |
|
My Fair Lady |
KID says: Totally nonsense. YEH was a big mess, so was the nonsense chemistry. Moon Chae Won & Jung Il Woo was only the real cute couple here. |
|
My Girl 마이걸 = 10 |
KID says: The more I watch it, the more I get addicted. One of the best chemistry in all dramas. A classic Hong Sisters fun drama. |
|
My Girlfriend is a Gumiho |
KID says: First two episodes was fun so far. |
|
My Sister-in-law is 19 |
KID says: It’s simply fun and that’s it. |
|
OB & GYN Doctors |
KID says: The romantic storyline was very well developed. The medical story as well wasn’t that boring. The show is informative and the cast’s chemistry was awesome. |
|
Oh! My Lady |
KID says: The love story was very cute. But the story just stayed cute, it didn’t develop well. |
|
One Fine Day |
KID says: One of the dramas that I didn’t expect to hate. The plot was messy and seriously crazy. |
|
One Mom and Three Dads |
KID says: Simple and cute. All three men was a asset of enjoyment. |
|
Only You 온리유 = 4 |
KID says: This doesn’t just work. Food and so much complicated stuff? I wish I can just eat this up. |
|
Partner 파트너 = 8 |
KID says: Kim Hyun Joo was always to look forward. Pairing her with Lee Dong Wook just made it much better. |
|
Pasta 파스타 = 7 |
KID says: It was breezy and fun but it suddenly was ruined. |
|
Personal Taste |
KID says: Repetitive music, predictable storylines. One of the most disappointing dramas for 2010. |
|
Princess Hours / Goong |
KID says: Funny and story is addicting. YEH was really cute and had an amazing chemistry with the cast. |
|
Prosecutor Princess |
KID says: Kim So Yeon’s portrayal of Ma Hye Ri was really entertaining, so is her lovelines with both men. But the conflicts and secrets were confusing. |
|
Robbers 불한당 = 4 |
KID says: The plot is really really not that developed. But luckily, the two acted really well but even that wasn’t quite enough to be satisfactory. |
|
Sad Love Song |
KID says: One of the most depressing love stories ever. Never watch this when you’re sad. It’s really horribly sad. |
|
Save the Last Dance for Me |
KID says: Eugene and Ji-Sung had the best sweet moments. Soundtrack and story was great as well. |
|
Snow Queen |
KID says: The show is depressing in a better way. Sung Yu-Ri was really cute in her own world. |
|
Soul 혼 = 7 |
KID says: I expected horror, but I got nausea instead. Really didn’t scare me, it was only momentarily. |
|
Stained Glass |
KID says: Another kind of drama where the ending was not worth every single time that was used. But Kim Ha-Neul and Lee Dong-Gun together were an awesome pair. |
|
Stairway to Heaven |
KID says: Too tragic and it isn’t just right. |
|
Star’s Echo |
KID says: Very short and sweet. Nothing complicated. Lee Da-Hae was feisty though. |
|
Star’s Lover |
KID says: One of the most sweet shows ever. This proved that a soundtrack can be enjoyable when used right. |
|
Still, Marry Me |
KID says: One of the best so far in terms of funny situations, witty lines & romantic storylines. |
|
Swallow the Sun |
KID says: Totally nonsense. Everything was running in circles. |
|
Sweet 18 |
KID says: As the title suggests, it’s really sweet, so is the couple. |
|
Temptation of an Angel |
KID says: It’s terribly bad that’s why it’s freakin’ fun. Lee So Yeon was terribly awesome acting in it. And her chemistry with Bae Soo Bin was something. |
|
That Fool 그바보 = 10 |
KID says: Acting-wise, incredibly awesome! Comedy & Chemistry really connected. |
|
Triple 트리플 = 6 |
KID says: Started great and breezy but nothing developed. |
|
Who Are You? |
KID says: Just looking at the image, feelings came rushing back. Yoon Kye Sang’s performance was fair and funny. |
|
Will it Snow for Christmas? |
KID says: A terrific melodrama with complicated situations. The supporting characters kinda ruined the show, but the romance would make you leap back on. |
|
Wish Upon a Star |
KID says: The kids are the best part of the show, and surprisingly got better every episode. |
|
Witch Yoo Hee |
KID says: It’s really hilarious, Jae Hee proved to be great again. But the number of male supporting characters just made it really complicated to handle the conflicts. |
|
Worlds Within |
KID says: Simply breathe taking, so is the characters. I ended up loving all of the characters and the story. It really was well-written and well-done. |
|
You’re Beautiful |
KID says: It’s quirky and the songs are really great. Every bit of development was to look forward. |
Period dramas:
Baker King, Kim Tag Gu |
KID says: Very makjang like. |
|
Capital Scandal |
KID says: It’s enjoyable, both the leads are comically great. And the second-fiddle characters really did an awesome job, I felt really sorry for them. |
|
Comrades |
KID says: The show kicked off great and totally got me. It has the perfect amount of everything. |
|
East of Eden |
KID says: If only Lee Da Hae were not in it, I wouldn’t waste my time on this nonsense. |
|
GIANT |
KID says: It lead to something greater when it started. So far, so good. Let’s wish it will be consistent. |
Sageuk / Historical dramas:
Conspiracy in the Court |
KID says: It’s really really heart whelming. I know some say it were perfect, but the too much political stuffs really killed it off for me. |
|
Dong Yi |
KID says: I can’t get the fuss about it. There’s really nothing special about it to go crazy around the drama.
|
|
Empress Chun Chu |
KID says: The longer it got, the more nonsense it gets. The childhood stories were really great, but lost so much at the middle part. |
|
Hometown Legends 2008 |
KID says: Again, it wasn’t scary. It was just plain boring. |
|
Hong Gil Dong |
KID says: It’s entertaining, fun and I don’t care what they say, but I love this kind of story in a historical series. |
|
Iljimae (SBS) |
KID says: I totally saw another version of sageuk shows after watching this. It was truly beautiful, but the ending slightly broke my feelings for it. |
|
Kingdom of the Winds |
KID says: Why did I even bother watching this? Jumong was a yawn fest, and so is this. |
|
Queen Seon Duk |
KID says: This is entertaining. It may not have been what I expected to be. But I enjoyed watching the whole show. But terrible acting from Lee Yo Won. |
|
Slave Hunters / Chuno |
KID says: The hype was truly worth it. This is exquisitely beautiful and a piece ofart in terms of directing. But I think the writer messed it up? |
|
Strongest Chil Woo |
KID says: I was suddenly blinded by the heroic scenes. But it got boring and boring after each episode runs. |
|
Sungkyungwan Scandal |
KID says: Adorable chemistry and the cast are lovely. |
Weekend dramas:
Assorted Gems |
KID says: I guess I had my expectation too much on it. That I was disappointed with the outcome. But it is really funny and an enjoyable long show. |
|
Brilliant Legacy |
KID says: Don’t even get me started with the romance, the wonderful cast, the well-written situations, and the all out characters that were produced. |
|
Creating Destiny |
KID says: I don’t know if it was cancer that destroyed this show, but it suddenly flipped when it got really draggy. Too bad, it was enjoyable on the start of its run. |
|
GLORIA |
KID says: Exceptional cast and strong development of characters. So far, the show is fun and exciting. |
|
Happiness |
KID says: A truly unexpected response from me. It had given me the hope to give another chance for long dramas. It was fun, exciting and it’s different. |
|
Hot Blood |
KID says: I mean, why did I even bother watching it? It’s really a pile of trash with nothing in it. |
|
Job Well Done |
KID says: I adored the supporting cast so much, despite the crazy situations it gave me. It was disappointing but I still love the cast. |
|
Last Scandal of my Life |
KID says: The show gave exceptional comedy. But Choi Jin Shil’s portrayal didn’t convince me enough to be attached to her. |
|
Loving You a Thousand Times |
KID says: This show is twisted, crazy and I think it shouldn’t be recommended. |
|
Please Marry Me |
KID says: It gets uglier and uglier every episode. I’m sticking in because I feel that there will be developments after every horrible thing. |
|
Smile, You |
KID says: I was so surprised that something this long, was able to maintain its sweetness the whole run. It’s really really cute. But some tends to be hateful. |
|
Sons of Sol Pharmacy House |
KID says: Truly a different blend than the other shows. This was funny in terms of both dialogue and situations. It wasn’t corny nor overacting. |

Ooh, how’s Queen Seondeok?? I’ve heard only great things about that drama, but I’m pretty tied up with BL, JL, CH, ROI, and Triple. I still need to catch up of A Man’s Story and He Who Can’t Get Married too, gawwwddd..
Man, I LOVE 2009! So many dramas so little time!
