The show has everything I want; a wonderful story, cute and funny scenes as well as some fighting scenes, a great cast, and many moral lessons. Also, this is one of those few dramas where I was happy with the ending. I was satisfied with all the bloopers and flashbacks playing at the end! Do you love some action, romance, and medical thrown into a drama? Then you will probably be obsessed with Doctor Stranger throughout all 20 episodes!
This series isn't as typical as some Korean dramas are. You will understand that once you know the plot.I think Doctor Stranger has a unique storyline to it.
Its plot is understandable, intriguing, and sufficient. I recommend this series to anyone who is interested in medical dramas. But I certainly don't recommend it to people who don't like blood. Don´t expect the series to feature many heart-fluttering scenes!

New Drama Korea October 2018
Despite his best efforts, he faces a tough challenge as he develops feelings for a woman he works with.I loved how the director balanced both romance and the intrigue of revenge. I think you should give it a shot if you are a fan of action or romantic comedy series!
There were moments when the tension was just killing me. I wouldn't watch this too often since you might have a heart attack. Here's one more action drama for you to choose from.
Actually, it has a little bit of everything; drama, action, romance, and mystery. Healer is the drama you should include on your watchlist simply because of its decent performances and storyline.

This gripping and intense drama will have you on the edge of your seat and make you experience a wide range of emotions! I loved that both male and female characters were strong. It's a solid love story without any of the expected funny love triangles. This series is definitely for you if you enjoy good action, romance, and political drama!
These words will probably come to mind after you finish watching this show. Kill Me, Heal Me is a comedy drama about a man who suffers from memory lapses and multiple personality disorder.

Eventually, the girl falls in love with one of his personalities.What sets this series apart is its constant twists and turns. It was difficult for me to get bored while watching this drama since something happened in every episode! I advise you to watch Kill Me, Heal Me if you are tired of the usual dramas with predictable plots.
Moonlight Drawn by Clouds, or Love in the Moonlight as it's also often called, is a historical romance with light melodrama. It features a charismatic and lovely cast along with fantastic sets, costumes, and writing. Also, with a touch of modern humor in it, the drama is fun and playful.This series is a wonderful youth historical drama. It tells the story of a prince that falls deeply in love with a girl disguised as a eunuch.
The story tells us about the many challenges they face in order to protect their secret relationship and overcome threats to the throne. The first half focuses mainly on the romance.
There´s a lot of fun with the great dynamic between the couple. The second half centers primarily on the politics.This Korean drama completely took me in for a ride! I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that Love in the Moonlight is an exceptional coming-of-age drama. If you like this one, consider. Each story this show tells will touch you somehow and you will love each of the main characters. This drama has many things to offer.
It has the most wonderful portrayal of heartwarming friendships, and not just between prison mates.Prison Playbook is set in a prison and tells the story about a baseball player who is sentenced to jail. You will understand why he and some other characters ended up that way as you will see flashbacks from the past. The personal stories of many characters are absolutely beautiful! But remember that it's more like a comedy than a crime/law drama.I enjoyed the series, though the beginning was very vague. In the first few episodes, I learned very little about the story and characters. Each episode tells about one particular struggle that the lead character has to go through.
I saw beauty in the series as the story unfolded and I learned more about characters. If you like fantasy romances with stories that span centuries, you should give this one a try. Goblin (also known by other names including Goblin: The Lonely and Great God/Guardian: The Lonely and Great God) is an interesting ride with a fresh and unique story told beautifully throughout every episode. The drama is also visually stunning.Goblin is a fantasy drama about a modern-day goblin, protector of souls.
He needs a human bride to end his cursed immortal life. However, when the goblin finds his bride, he realizes that he doesn´t want his life to end.Goblin made me laugh and cry.

Are you looking for a drama with a complex story? Watch this one and you will be stunned over how much is packed into 20 episodes! Pinocchio tells the story of a man who was terribly wronged by a cold-hearted reporter.
All the man can think about is revenge. But he suddenly develops feelings for the daughter of his enemy. The girl has Pinocchio Syndrome, which means that every time she lies, she hiccups. So she always has to tell the truth.
Watch the drama and learn more about the revenge for past injustices.I found this K-drama so gripping and intelligently written that I simply didn't want it to end! First, I decided to watch this show simply because of the main theme, which is relevant today in the era of fake news and misleading headlines. I loved the brutal development of the characters, their thought-provoking decisions, and unexpected actions.
If you are looking for an intense and fast-paced mature drama with excellent acting, dialog, and comedic flourishes, you should give this melodrama a go. Woman of Dignity centers on the life of a rich family. The comfortable life of the elegant woman Woo Ah-Jin, who lives a luxurious life due to her wealthy father-in-law, slowly comes apart with the arrival of the new caretaker for the rich man. Park Bok-Ja, the new caretaker, is a poor woman.
She has deliberately entered the household of the family with a goal. Her motive is to become part of the family and lift herself out of the low class she has been in all her life.I was hooked after I learned there were two female leads in the drama! But there are also many supporting characters that each have their own interesting story. I was glad that the series did not focus mainly on the male and female leads (which is popular and hence becomes boring), so it was a fun and enjoyable watch. If you are still looking for a fun drama that mixes romantic comedy with darker crime elements and features adorable leads with unreal levels of cuteness, then Strong Woman Do Bong Soon should be your next watch. The show has a strong heroine and an appreciative, dreamy hero.On the outside, Do Bong Soon seems to be small and fragile, but she is actually a woman with super strength handed down to her from female members of her family. She wants to keep it secret as she has fears of being considered a weirdo.
One day, Ahn Min Hyuk, the CEO of a game company, witnesses her powers. The man becomes attracted and intrigued by her. Soon he faces a threat to his life, so he decides to hire the girl as his bodyguard. The Heirs is a satisfying drama and tells the story of star-crossed lovers.
You will enjoy the romance between the lead characters. Kim Tan is the rich heir to the Empire Group.
He comes to the US to attend school. While living in the States, he meets Go Eun Sang, who comes to the country with her sister with the hope of a better life. Tan meets the girl at the lowest moment of her life. His heart breaks for her and he decides to take her to his home in Korea. But surprisingly, Eun Sang's mother is a housekeeper in Tan's home. And there are even more surprises aheadThe storyline is nothing groundbreaking, but it's a fascinating new take on something everyone has watched a million times.
I like that it's modern, youthful, quirky, funny, at times romantic, and sometimes sad. It's the show for those days when you want to feel warm and comfortable.
If you are a fan of fantasy melodramas, you should definitely check this one out. This drama took the world by storm at the time it was airing! So why was its popularity in Korea and around the world so huge?My Love From Another Star (also called You Who Came from the Stars) tells the story of a centuries-old alien with superpowers. He is trapped on Earth and is working as a university professor.
All he can think of is how to get back home, but he changes his mind when he meets a popular actress.This K-drama has everything I could possibly want. It has believable and charismatic leads, an evil villain, romance, comedy, melodrama, and time travel blended together. I definitely recommend My Love from the Star to big fans of sci-fi! Teleportation, time stopping—everything is presented here in a breathtaking way. In addition, there is great chemistry between the two leads and a good sense of humor. Descendants of the Sun was a mega hit when it was on TV. It had ratings of over 40% and it won several KBS drama awards.
Since the drama was produced before its airing, the storyline couldn't change depending on viewer ratings. Apparently, that's the reason why it's only 16 episodes long, despite its huge popularity.This love story revolves around a woman who is leading a medical team that saves lives and the captain of a special forces unit that carries out secret missions. The action is set in Uruk, a fictitious country in a state of war. They are both dealing with life and death situations every day. So will they take the risk of heart break or not?An awesome cast, nice music, a wonderful storyline, and great chemistry between the leads are not the only reason why you should give this drama a shot! I enjoyed the romance of this K-drama. It also made me think of the sacrifices that our real-life service men and women face protecting our countries.
We also have to pay more attention to the many doctors that volunteer and appreciate their work. In my opinion, Descendants of the Sun is worthy of all the buzz and high ratings it received. People tend to gravitate more towards popular kdramas and some in your above list are truly overrated. I have nothing against that actually but some dramas can’t simply withstand the test of time. My top list includes characters that are memorable who have stayed in my heart.
I love slice-of-life dramas but my list also includes fantasy, action, time travel. These are my all time favorite memorable drama:1. Forest of Secret (Stranger): Fantastic series, very good story with a lot of twists. Cho Seung-Woo’s best performance, he really nailed it.2. Doctor John: it tackles sensitive medical cases, focuses on empathy. Ji Sung is a very versatile actor, one of the best Korean actors there is.3.
Healer: JCW best performance ( better than Empress Ki in my opinion) the role is cut for him. Seo Jung Hoo is the most sympathetic and best looking Vigilante, “night errand boy” of all time. A real crowd pleaser.4. Sunshine: Without a doubt, Lee Byung Hun is one of the best actors in kdrama (if not the best). Writer Kim Eun Suk dramas never cease to amaze me.
Best production I have seen.5. The Bridal Mask: I became a fan of Joo Won because of this drama. Awesome drama, lot of emotions.6. Misaeng: Chief Oh is my favorite character of all time. The show made me cry real tears and laugh a genuine laugh. Has there ever been a more insightful, heartbreaking, glorious exploration of the human condition portrayed than this drama?
I don’t have hunk so!7. Signal: best crime-thriller drama there is. I couldn’t anticipate anything, I kept on guessing until the end.
It has really good characters: Park Hae-young, Lee Jae-han and Cha Soo-hyun are simply lovable and have strong characters.8. Moon embraces the sun: Fantastic sageuk drama with supernatural elements. Perfect performance of Kim Soo-hyun and everyone else is pretty excellent, except Han Ga In.9. Chicago Typewriter: an underrated show but this drama has everything: friendship, romance, memorable scenes and good OST.10. Memoirs of Alhambra: the show has amazing premise and a start: integration between real life and virtual reality. Reminds me a little bit of Love 020.
I totally enjoyed Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye together. Hee Joo had a good character and Hyun Bin really tackled every aspect of it. Next to Lee Byung-hun, he’s one of my top korean actors. Cinematography: simply amazing!11.
My mister /Ahjussi: not the typical korean drama but one of the “not to miss” dramas. IU totally nailed it! Hats off to Lee Sun Gyun, Jang Ki Yong ( this actor is soooo good as hero and villain) and all actors. They’re magnificent.12. Radiant: is one I won’t forget. This drama successfully managed to put me inside Hye Ha’s head.
Even if you don’t gravitate to drama with a fantasy element, you ought to see this one.13. Kill me heal me: Ji Sung’s portrayal of 7 different personalities is on point.
This drama is deep and heavy.14. Full House: I can’t get over younger Rain playing himself and adorably dancing to “Gom Se Mari” to cheer up his cohabiter.15. Strong woman Do Bong Soon and weightlifting fairy Kim Bok-joo share the same rank of cheesy BUT adorable drama. Simply amazing!. Arthdal and Vagabond are top notch thrillers as is the K-2. Arthdal is not complete yet but Season 1 is done. Netflix is making me super agitated with its new policy of running a series only a week at a time.
I've been watching so many I'm losing track of what is on which day of the week and then I have to fall into the story line again. I do not like it at all. I like to binge the series.
When the second season of Arthdal comes, I am not going to watch it until it is over so I can keep continuity in my head. Will make it my goal to add Mr. Sunshine to my list, Niko. It's possible I may have already seen this and don't remember the title. I'm bad with them.
But that's okay, I can watch any of these more than once. Saw that Netflix had added 'Master' to the lineup and thought there was one I had yet to see. Nope, had already seen it but realized it was one of my favorites lost in the many good ones my memory has accumulated. The lead actor in Master is so FINE! And the supporting actor ain't bad either! The Great Spirit certainly didn't hold back when passing out good looks and killer smiles to Asian males. City Hunter was awesome (a much overused word, but with what do I replace it?) Many of the others are excellent as well and worth the time to invest in watching.
New Drama Korean
It is my wish that more of these could be dubbed. I have no problem with subtitles, but many people do.
I know for a fact that these stars would find millions of new fans in the young female population in America if the single language only crowd here could understand what is being said. It would take away from the sexy, rich tones of the actors. Would that the lead stars could dub their own lines in English. We are such Philistines. Was babysitting for a room full of teen girls who happened to walk in on one of my K-dramas and they sat oohing and aahing over the male lead though they couldn't understand a word he said. Recently i watched Goblin.
Omg, i cant get rid of goblin. I love the lead so much. I fall in love over and over againKill me heal me is one of drama you should watch.
