My updated rankings/reviews of all the k dramas I have seen so far (up to 54 now). I would recommend any show I gave a C grade or higher, which is most of them. I bolded recently added shows.

1. Hometown Cha Cha Cha: An absolute masterpiece. It’s a heartwarming fish out of water story about a big city girl who finds herself in the quirkiest little seaside town. I wanted to stay in Gongjin forever. Grade: A+(Netflix)

2. Extraordinary Attorney Woo (S1): Delightful! Never have I ever rooted for a lead harder. She is the most endearing lead you will ever find. And the male lead is so so swoony. Grade: A+(Netflix)

3. Alchemy of Souls: The wildest of rides and the perfect blend of fantasy, adventure, mystery, comedy, and romance. The characters are just so lovable, you’ll never want it to end. Season 2 just as good as Season 1. Grade: A+ (Netflix)

4. Love To Hate You: New fastest binge of my life. 10 episodes and I didn’t fast forward at all. There were no bad/slow parts. Also the funniest KDrama I’ve ever seen. Just watch it. You won’t regret it. Grade A+ (Netflix).

5. My Demon: This show had me utterly enthralled, it was so mysterious and suspenseful and yet incredibly goofy and romantic. My new favorite main couple in all KDrama land. Yes it wasn’t perfect but I enjoyed it so much, it really encapsulated everything I love in a tv show. Grade: A (Netflix)

6. Business Proposal: It’s got every trope you can think of and it does them all to perfection. Plus it’s hilarious. Grade: A (Netflix)

7. Healer: This super romantic action mystery drama will keep you on the edge of your seat. Ji Chang Wook is equal parts sexy and adorable which is a seriously winning combination. Grade A (Viki). One caveat: I was very disappointed by a certain wardrobe decision in episode 3.

8.Her Private Life: Super funny and charming. The romantic leads have incredible chemistry. The premise is so good! Might be the one of the most rewatchable kdramas. Grade: A (Netflix)

9. Castaway Diva: Just utterly heartwarming. An instant classic. Ultimate underdog, redemption, story that teaches us what real love and family is. Also Ki-Ho is the new standard by which all men will be judged. Grade: A (Netflix)

10. Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung: Great strong female lead. Very good messages. Couldn’t stop watching. The most adorable prince I’ve ever seen 💜Cha Eunwoo💜 Grade: A (Netflix)

11. Bad Prosecutor: Absolutely thrilling and hilarious. It’s like a heist, detective, lawyer, action comedy that will keep you wondering who is outsmarting who? Super shocking plot twists. Amazing OST. Stuck the landing with a truly satisfying finale. Grade A (Viki)

12. Sh**ting Stars: Probable the biggest turnaround of any show I’ve seen (The “Africa” part was so problematic). However it turned out to be one of the funniest and swooniest KDramas out there. There are 5 couples and you will cheer for all of them. Grade: A- (Viki)

13. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon: The main couple is absolutely everything! Just fast forward through pretty much every side plot (they are not important) and you’ll love it. Grade: A- (Viki)

14. So I Married the Anti-Fan: It’s campy, fluffy, goodness, with a fierce female lead and a K-pop star enemy/love interest. 2nd fastest binge of my life. Grade: A- (Viki)

15. 100 Days My Prince: An absolute classic period drama romcom. Who knew D.O. could kiss like that? Such a great strong female lead. I LOVE a show with adorable, quirky, townspeople. Grade: A- (Netflix)

16. Romance is a Bonus Book: Might be the most romantic K-Drama I’ve ever seen. Nothing about the trailer or setup intrigued me but I’m so glad I watched it anyway. It was a truly beautiful love story. Grade: A- (Netflix)

17. Because This Is My First Life: This drama really does everything right for me… A slow burn romance built on mutual love and respect. Supporting characters who I genuinely cared about and had incredible side stories of their own. A critique of the patriarchy. Women supporting women. An adorable cat. Maybe a bit melodramatic at times but not too much. Grade A- (Netflix)

18. Start-Up: Exceptional acting, compelling storylines, intriguing plot twists, great cinematography, intense love triangle. It’s just all around high quality. Grade: A- (Netflix)

19. Run On: Cute, fun, silly and pretty light. I especially loved the supporting cast. Strange storyline but it was a fun easy ride. Grade: A- (Netflix)

20. Forbidden Marriage: This is a weird show, but weird in the best way. It’s like a comedy, horror, romance, fictional-historical. I don’t know how to describe it but it’s really fun. B+(Viki)

21. Soundtrack #1: Short and beautiful. I just loved it. No one does heart eyes better than Park Hyung-Sik. Grade: B+(Disney+)

22. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo: A bad-ass yet vulnerable female lead. The main couple just had a lot of fun together. Refreshing. Grade: B+ (Viki)

23. Doctor Slump: This show was a really nice journey of both mental health and romance. Grade: B+ (Netflix)

24. Welcome to Samdalri: Very heartwarming and beautiful story about love, family, friendship, and going home. It has quirky townspeople and Ji Chang Wook 😍 what’s not to love? Grade: B+ (Netflix)

25. My Lovely Liar: Creative and engaging premise, intriguing mystery, and a swoon worthy romance. A very fun viewing experience. Grade: B+ (Viki)

26. King the Land: This drama pretty much has no stakes or conflict and the main couple has THE MOST chemistry I have ever seen in my entire life. So if you just want to turn your brain off and be happy, this is the drama for you. I absolutely loved it. Grade: B+ (Netflix)

27.Law Cafe: This drama has so much to love, a strong/fierce/brilliant and morally righteous female lead, lovable side characters, steamy romance. But what I loved most was how the show spotlighted important issues like consent and abuse in nuanced and progressive ways. Yes it’s a fun rom-com but it felt like the beginning of a new chapter of more egalitarian storytelling which made me really excited for the future of k-dramas. Grade: B+ (Viki)

28. Not Others: A lovely Gilmore Girls type show about the relationship between an immature mother and her very mature adult daughter. It was a pleasure seeing them grow in their relationships with each other, others, and themselves. I want more! Grade B+ (Viki)

29. Cheer Up: Sports, comedy, romance, mystery, suspense, coming of age, this show had everything. The female lead was the lovable, feisty, driven, and brave. The male lead was adorkable, considerate, and sweet. It’s all very enjoyable and wholesome. Grade: B+ (Viki)

30. I Am Not A Robot: Zany premise but it was surprisingly pretty grounded for how crazy the set up was. It’s funny, emotional, good story telling. Great character development. Grade: B+ (Viki)

31. See You in My 19th Life: The shared experience of watching this mystical mystery drama week to week made it a really enjoyable watch. Not sure if it was totally satisfying, or that any of the couples’ chemistry felt authentic, but it was a very interesting and creative storyline. Grade B (Netflix)

32. Summer Strike: This show made me cry a lot. It’s heartbreaking yet healing. I’m still not sure if I liked watching it or not but it was a beautiful story of found family. Grade B (Netflix).

33. Shopping King Louie: Adorable! So many light fluffy feels for this show but it does drag a bit in the second half. Grade B (Viki)

34, Fight For My Way: Such lovable leads. Love the fierce female lead and adorable himbo male lead. It’s like a coming of age story but for 30 year olds. Storyline was ok. Second couple was skippable. Grade: B (Viki)

35. What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim: More PSJ is always a good thing. This drama did all the tropes in ways that didn’t always feel fresh, but it was very romantic and hilarious. A true classic. Grade: B (Viki)

36. Touch Your Heart: If you can just stick it out through the first few very shaky episodes, you will enjoy this adorable, fluffy, series. Grade: B- (Netflix)

37. Doom at Your Service: It was sometimes real sad yet ultimately a heart warming mystical story. Grade: B- (Viki)

38. True Beauty: Fun, cute, teen drama however, it’s a little too “antsy teen” for me. Cha Eunwoo though💜 Grade: C+ (Viki)

39. Destined With You: The chemistry between the main couple was absolutely sizzling. Rowoon was both hilarious and next level adorable. However, the plot and the characterization of women occasionally made me very frustrated. Grade: C+ (Netflix).

40. Suspicious Partner: Great story, great characters, attractive actors, beautiful romance, interesting plot, sometimes funny, sometimes suspenseful, but with 40 episodes, the plot was dragged. Grade C+ (Viki)

41. Crash Landing On You: The first half is GREAT but the second half is way too melodramatic for my taste. It’s a very interesting storyline, the main couple has insane chemistry, and there are very lovable side characters. Grade: C+ (Netflix)

42. Secret Romantic Guesthouse: First few episodes were a fun scooby gang mystery, middle episodes were super boring, last 3 episodes were crazy fast paced and thrilling. It ended well- I’ll give it that. Grade: C (Viki)

43. Dear.M: It was inoffensive and decently entertaining. If you like school dramas, you’ll probably enjoy it. Grade: C (Viki).

44. A Good Day To Be A Dog: The storyline is bonkers but very intriguing. It started off so well but the storyline lost its way in the back half. But hey, Cha Eunwoo + dogs, it’s worth the watch. Grade: C (Viki).

45. Angel’s Last Mission: Love: This drama was very similar to Doom At Your Service but it was more a bit more redundant with all of the tragedy and crying. I LOVED the chemistry of the main couple but I found myself fast forwarding a lot. Grade: C- (Viki)

46. Marry My Husband: Episodes 1-11 were phenomenal. Such an interesting premise with shocking twists and turns. After episode 11 it seemed like there were new writers who had never seen the show. Very disappointing but top tier villains. Grade: C-

47. Our Beloved Summer: I LOVED V’s “Christmas Tree” OST however I struggled to keep watching. Boring storyline but great acting. Grade: D+ (Netflix)

48. Heavenly Idol: An absolute hot mess. It was completely convoluted and just low quality but I also weirdly liked it. I can’t bring myself to rank it higher because I know how bad it was but I actually enjoyed it better than many shows I ranked ahead of it. Grade: D+ (Viki)

49. My Secret Romance: The story of a total screw up female lead falling for a manipulative, gaslighting, hottie. It was problematic yet fun? So 🤷‍♀️ Grade: D+ (Netflix)

50. My Man Is Cupid: Pros: many cute dogs, sometimes those dogs wear human clothes, cute ending. Cons: Makes no sense, not much chemistry, murder plot takes up too much time. Grade D+ (Prime).

51. She Would Never Know: As handsome as Rowoon is, I found his character problematic at the beginning (no means no buddy) but he did get a lot better as the show went on. I just ended up skipping to watch just the scenes with the main couple, which made the show way more enjoyable. Grade D (Netflix)

52. My Love From the Star: I found myself fast forwarding a lot through all the parts that didn’t involve the main couple and most of the flashbacks. Grade D (Viki)

53. Goblin: The age gap is too disturbing for me, like call the police disturbing. However, the Grim Reaper who is one of the most adorable characters I’ve ever seen. Grade: D- (Viki)

54. Extra-Ordinary You: I have never felt so betrayed by a second half of a series as I did in this one. All of the character development that it seemed to be leading to was replaced by a pretty sickening codependent relationship. Grade: D- (Viki).

Currently Watching: Wedding Impossible (I think I like it)

Dramas I’m Thinking About Watching: Gaus Electronics, Bad and Crazy, Hospital Playlist, Another Miss Oh, Oh My Venus, My Roommate is Gumiho, She Was Pretty, Crash Course in Romance, Soundtrack #2, Queen of Tears

Dramas I just couldn’t Finish (I’m sorry I tried): Today’s Webtoon, Once Upon a Small Town, Love in Contract, Hotel Del Luna, Kings Affection, Record of Youth, Behind Your Touch, Sparkling Watermelon, Tale of Nine Tailed 1938, Strong Girl Nam Soon, The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract

What are your thoughts on these shows? Do you agree or disagree with my rankings? Any k-romcom recommendations that are not on the list yet?

Benjamin X Vampire Reader Angsty forbidden love prompt

“Can I walk you home?” Benjamin requested; you’d both met up in the park before the others awoke, so you and Benjamin decided it would be a good time to talk about things.

You nodded, managing a weak smile. “I’d like that,” you responded, before you intertwined your fingers with his, and you both slowly walked back toward the Cullen’s house, though you both didn’t want this moment to end; you rarely got to spend much time with him alone.

༺𐦐༻

Benjamin would be concerned when he found you sitting outside in the surrounding woods whilst it was raining, and he began to take off his jacket, intending to give it to you. “Take my jacket,” Benjamin broke the silence, and you looked up at him, surprised, “I don’t want you to catch a cold.”

You grinned, standing up and walking over to him. “Can vampires even get colds?” You asked, and Benjamin winced, looking away from you as he was embarrassed. “Keep it,” you stated, gently guiding his hand that was holding the jacket back to his chest, “it looks better on you, anyway.”

“Are you sure?” Benjamin pried, and you nodded, smiling reassuringly at him.

You stepped closer again shyly, and he rubbed the back of his neck for a moment. “You owe me a kiss,” you stated, and he tilted his head partially, playing dumb. “Seriously, B?” You whined, a hurt look on your face. “First, you promised me you’d take me to the dance, and second, you promised me you’d kiss me at the end of it, and when you didn’t because you went with Tia, you promised you would today-” Benjamin silenced you by pressing his lips against your’s, and you would wear a dazed expression on your face; you couldn’t believe you still reacted this way whenever he kissed you; you could only assume it was because of the way he always managed to convey how much he loved you in the kiss, and how delicate it was; he was never rough with you. “B,” you whispered as you stared into his reddish brown eyes, and he smiled lovingly down at you. “I love you so much,” you concluded, before you leaned forward to kiss him again.

༺𐦐༻

Benjamin noticed that you seemed down, and you glanced up at him, a pained expression on your face when you noticed him at the door to your room. “B?” You whispered shakily, and he sat beside you, concerned.

“What’s wrong, Y/n?” Benjamin inquired, placing his hand on your’s.

“I - I just,” you murmured, lowering your head slightly. “I want you,” you whined, “all of you. And that might be selfish, but I don’t care-.. We - We were meant to be together, Benjamin,” you stated, turning your body fully to face him before you lifted your head again, “why won’t you tell Amun that, and why do you keep refusing to run away with me?” Benjamin winced, looking away from you. You sighed, knowing he wouldn’t answer as you began to fidget with your hands. “Even if - Even if you don’t,” you murmured, your voice trembling, “I will never stop fighting for you. I’m not giving up on us.”

Benjamin nodded, reluctantly turning his head to look at you. “I’m not giving up, either, I just - I can’t tell Amun, Y/n,” he responded, “if Amun, Tia, or her father find out-”

“I don’t care what they say, Benjamin,” you interrupted, “I want to be with you, properly!”

Benjamin shuffled closer to you, frowning when he noticed the tears leaking from your eyes. “And we will be together officially, Y/n, it’s just going to take some time-”

“Well how long will it take, Benjamin?” You questioned, trying not to break down.

Benjamin wasn’t sure how long it would take, himself, and he fell quiet, resulting in you losing all hope as you got up suddenly from the bed. “Y/n, wait!” Benjamin cried, but you rushed out of the room before he could stop you.

༺𐦐༻

“I don’t see what the problem is,” Benjamin muttered, and Tia grunted, annoyed; she was sick of him going out to see you all the time.

“The problem is I this: I think I’m in love with you, Benjamin,” she admitted, and he grimaced, glaring at her.

“You promised you wouldn’t fall in love with me,” he reminded her, and she sighed, bowing her head slightly.

“I lied,” she murmured, “how can you expect me to not fall in love with you when I’m married to you, and I see you almost every day?” Tia then stepped closer to him, and he nervously stepped back; he didn’t want to allow anything to happen. “Can - Can I kiss you, please? At least once?” Tia requested, but Benjamin wasn’t sure if he should, or not. “Just once,” Tia whined, “you don’t want me to tell my father about you and Y/n, do you?” Benjamin winced, scowling, before he shook his head gravely. Tia then walked up to him, shyly smiling, before she connected her lips to his. Benjamin felt as if it were completely wrong, and he felt the urge to go and see you again as he wanted to take his mind off of the mental pain he was feeling. Benjamin tried to relax by conjuring up a memory you and he had made when you both started dating.

~~~~~

Hope you enjoyed this prompt! ❤️

Further information: Benjamin had had to go with Tia because of the arranged marriage to stop the covens from fighting.

You are not here as someone else's replacement. To me there was no one like you. I So-rang you. To me So-rang means that I love you a lot. Those are my sincere feelings. Do not leave me.

Alexis isn’t feeling great, so we haven’t gotten back to watching shows together. Here’s a meme from one my mom and I binged over the weekend: Forbidden Marriage.

FYI I actually have nerve damage so that plot line really pissed me off bc I’ve been told by countless specialists it’s incurable. If you haven’t seen the show yet, Shin Won lost his function of his arm due to a poisoned dart. I know it’s not the same thing as what happened to me (a slow deterioration of the nerves from muscle and joint damage/injuries) but they could have just said the poison finally left his system or he got a remedy/cure instead of saying trauma would give him nerve function back. Unless there was a mishap with the subtitle translations. But yeah. Sometimes I get grumpy over poorly written plot points as someone who is chronically ill. 😅

THE FORBIDDEN MARRIAGE

GENRES: Historical, Comedy, Romance

SUMMARY: A locally-scheming lady finds herself working for the King in order to help him stop mourning the past and realize that living life to the fullest is pretty great for him (and for the kingdom).

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Marriage bans, old men playing flutes, wild boars, wet hanboks, erotic graphic novels, market shoes, teahouses with ulterior motives, unhinged murder plots, secretly-buff eunuchs, an uncomfortable amount of hangings, sleepy kisses, necrotic hands, barbarian match-making, and late-night drinking.

HOT TAKE: How refreshing is this couple's relationship? Good communication, no lingering misunderstandings, and healthy sexual connections. Also, Kim Young Dae takes literally ANY small opportunity to untie his Gonryongpo and I am HERE for it.

True Beauty should have been a polyamorous story. You cannot convince me otherwise.

Same with Forbidden Marriage

I genuinely thought they were going for a poly story when I started watching it 😄😄😄like I knew they probably wouldn't but it just...cmon

Don't even get me started on Welcome in Samdal-ri. I haven't finished it yet but it's so obvious it should have been a poly show 😡

Deuteronomy 23: Moses Tells The Israelites The Laws That Can Have Them Excluded From The Assembly Of God

1 No one who has been emasculated by crushing or cutting may enter the assembly of the Lord.

2 No one born of a forbidden marriage nor any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.

3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.

4 For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to pronounce a curse on you.

5 However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.

6 Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them as long as you live.

7 Do not despise an Edomite, for the Edomites are related to you. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you resided as foreigners in their country.

8 The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord.

Uncleanness in the Camp

9 When you are encamped against your enemies, keep away from everything impure.

10 If one of your men is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he is to go outside the camp and stay there.

11 But as evening approaches he is to wash himself, and at sunset he may return to the camp.

12 Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself.

13 As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement.

14 For the Lord your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.

Miscellaneous Laws

15 If a slave has taken refuge with you, do not hand them over to their master.

16 Let them live among you wherever they like and in whatever town they choose. Do not oppress them.

17 No Israelite man or woman is to become a shrine prostitute.

18 You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute into the house of the Lord your God to pay any vow, because the Lord your God detests them both.

19 Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest.

20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.

21 If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it, for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.

22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty.

23 Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the Lord your God with your own mouth.

24 If you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat all the grapes you want, but do not put any in your basket.

25 If you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pick kernels with your hands, but you must not put a sickle to their standing grain.
