Welcome to Waikiki.
I never have interest in historical drama but "Mr.Queen" & "The Red Sleeve" changed my whole prospective. These two drama is OUTSTANDING💯🔥
Netflix is also reason for them to be that much successful
Itaewon deserves to be successful... but its true for some
So true korean showbiz is toxic and hypocrite, netflix don't give a damn about that shit
But for me not all of them are great..they just get hyped...even it's not good they still watch
Park seo joon is such an interesting actor. he seems good at everything.
The Red Sleeve is not a Netflix Original tho 😉
Netflix needs more K-drama, C-drama, Asian Dramas ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I love all the happy ending Dramas.
Netflix should bring c drama historical ones like untammed
Me too 😊
What means c-drama?
@@littlescully3637 Chinese drama
I was nicely surprised by Business Proposal. When I first heard about it, it didn't sound like something I would like and I only checked it out because I like Sejeong and AHS, but now I'm so glad I did! It became my feel good show. It's nothing new, full of cliché and yet, I loved it. The whole cast was amazing and likable, and I just felt happy watching it. :)
In another genre, I've started to watch Tomorrow, I'm only 2 épisodes in and already loving.
I’m only in ep 6 but it’s the best drama I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot
@@DA_Ald i won't say its the best but yeah it seems one of my favorites after Hotel De Luna , Vincenzo, Mr. Queen , Its Okay to be Not be Okay
Tomorrow is a series that has found me needing tissues for most episodes. I'm yet to start business proposal.
Tomorrow gets irritating and silly at times. Some stories get really really intense while some are very weak. The way the series makers use instant karma to please the audience also makes me cringe, still watching it and reached episode 10
I couldn’t believe they only made 12 episodes. That was short sighted.
Favorite--Itaewon Class! What happen to the character in the story and what he did to rise above it all is a masterpiece!
To all the underdogs in the world--"Rise out of that manure pile and reach for the Stars"--You CAN do it!! 👍👌💥💕
yes, IC is the best
My favorites
1. Descendants of the sun
2. The legend of the blue sea
3. My love from the star
4. It's okay not to be okay
5. Healer
6. K2
7. Bride of the water god
8. I'll go to you when the weather is nice
9. Now, we are breaking up
10. W
11. Cinderella and the four Knight
12. Globlin
13. Heirs
14. Wok of love
15. Uncontrollably fond
I tried much more dramas and these are my favorites
U should also include mr.queen king eternal monarch. Itewon class. Hometown cha cha cha
Wow meaning I have a lot to watch then, how come I've only watched K2 from all these? Geez I have to up my Kdrama game, thanks for the pointers 🙏
Cinderella and FK was absolutely great!The grandfather was perfect for his role(Cant find that hair style anywhere).The three cousins were so talented .Class act movie.
@@abdulrehmansoomro1717 Because I did not watch those. Those are still on my waiting list.

That's a really good list
Just curious, Does anyone know "Scarlett Heart Goreyo"? probably one of the best and brutal heartbreaks ever in Korean History haha. My Wife introduced me to K-Dramas and that was our first one together in 2019. I still have not recovered LOL
Haha, i was shattered too. Im still not over the heartbreak.
@@Skyeblom81 Right... IDK why my wife chose that as my first K-Drama XD it is her favorite.
@@iMatt75 she knew what it would do to you 😂. Poor thing, you never stood a chance. That's the one that got me hooked too...havent been the same since
@@Skyeblom81 I was pretty much a broken human being by the end of the show. Did you hear Lee Joon-gi bring it up in a recent interview... 6 years later.... and he broke our hearts with a few words all over again lol 😭
@@iMatt75 Me too! Everytime I see Lee Joongi I cant keep it together, i get so emotional😭. He gave me a ticket to a lifetime of therapy.
Mr Queen has to be my most joyous favourite of all time but also with it's heart jerking moment and fantastic political intrigue.
I remember Mr queen and true beauty was aried at the same time and there was so much hyped about true beauty but I decided to watch Mr queen. No regret 😏 it was worth ☺️
Same here, I love Eunwoo but can't finish to watch True Beauty and I enjoy Mr. Queen so much
I absolutely enjoyed both Mr.Queen and True Beauty, Mr.Queen was awesome plot but True Beauty for Eunwo❤️
@@anakilang25 sorry but True beauty Front of mr.Queen i watch both
I’ve watched SO MANY excellent Kdramas that I am totally surprised I have only seen 1 on this list! (Mr. Queen) Nobody does it like Korea. The productions, plots, actors are all so incredibly good. My favoite - It’s Okay to Not be Okay. There are so many others - too many to list. Can’t wait to see some from this list.
You should definitely watch The red sleeve and work later drink now. it's Soooo good
U should watch others too..they r soo great..squid game, sweet home red sleeves work later
I also only watched Mr Queen from this list and absolutely LOVED it. Also very much enjoyed Vincenzo, Hometown Cha-cha-cha and The king’s Affection. Currently following Tomorrow and it is fast becoming one of my favourite dramas.
All I have to say is, get watching. The only one’s I haven’t seen is Drink Now Work Later and World of the Married which isn’t available in US as far as I know.
It's okay to not be okay is also one of my favorites. But I defenitly have a sweet spot for true beauty it was the first I watched. Where do you watch your dramas?
My favorites: K2, Itaewon class, Healer, What’s wrong with secretary Kim, Crash Landing near you, Descendants of the sun, Squid game, Vincenzo, Dr. Romantic 1 and 2, Memories of Alahambra, Red Sleeve, Extraordinary attorney Woo, Its okay to not be okay, Her personal taste….

Did u watch the uncanny counter?
@@einhornknochler7140 I watched a few episodes of it but I'm willing to continue it because I like it so much😍
@@einhornknochler7140 I love The Uncanny Counter. I really hope they are doing season 2.
@@hodahamed9402 That's a longg list. Would much rather you narrow it down, I'm curious about your top 10 😂
@@einhornknochler7140 yes, it's good for one time watch
Hospital playlist was full of 'feeling good' moments and funny scenes...loved it so much...
Thanks so much HOSPITAL PLAYLIST... the best of it all! Still waiting for its next seasonsssss! Superb stories & acting of all the characters! Never been hooked to any series since KNOTS LANDING series!
Can you like tell me a little bit of the plot ???
My first Korean Drama was 'My Lovely Sam-Soon', and I've loved K-Dramas ever since. Just finished 'Snowdrop' and I haven't stopped crying....🙂
Omg, I saw that such a long time ago. It wasn't my first but it was one of my first ones.
I think 5 or 6 years ago I watched that drama, It was awesome. I used to listen its OST "she is" even still it's my one of favorite OST and drama.
mr.queen and red sleeve, ofc itaewon class are all masterpiece
Red Sleeve, a very good K drama. Thank you for mentioning that.
Hot stove league success was just because of namkoong min..my god. That man just hooks me up with his acting ❤️ remember series was very boring..that was the first time when i saw him on the screen and surprisingly he was so good than the main lead. I usually dont like the villains of any drama, but he was on fire 😍🔥
25 21 was so worth watching and BL Semantic Error got me onto BLs to this day Sky Castle is my best along with Start up and Vagabond
I love Itaewon Class, Mr.Queen, and Hospital Playlist they are on my list of go to kdramas
Have anyone watched "SIGNAL" yet ??
One of the best kdramas and a must watch !!
You guys should definitely watch Move to heaven. The storyline is yet so simple but so engaging. Only 10 episodes which are only 45 minutes long.
it’s been on my recommended for a while. i’ll give it a shot!
That was an awesome Kdrama. I just finished it a few weeks ago
its so good!!
@@nyx7408 I'm glad you liked it too 😊
omg so many tissues. Brilliant.
HOSPITAL PLAYLIST CAST IS THE BEST❤️😭
Vincenzo, It's okay not to be okay both were masterpieces 😍
penthouse is frl amazing! everything was just immaculate!! as somebody who prefers romantic kdramas it’s still my fav kdrama of all time
i had watched MR. QUEEN… many many times,,, yet i am still laughing and feel sad and cry a bit!
For me it's not top celebrities as I don't know the top names. I'm in UK and watch via Netflix and K dramas are all I watch . They are genuinely entertaining without any British / American self obsessed so called stars. So much subtle humour , facial expressions and excellent acting. They are brilliant.
Since 6 months I watch k-dramas back and forth 🙈😅🙈
There so different from that american stuff with all the fighting...
And the give you a good feeling 💖
I loved Mr Queen it was hilarious, The world of the married was awesome as well
The world of the married is in a whole new level..... Squid game is definitely a must watch.... Will be watching Mr. Queen soon....
Mr Queen is hilarious! Squid Game was gripping.
Flower of Evil. Mr Sunshine. Healer. My Love from Another Star. Welcome to Waikiki. They're good too. If you watch C-drama please check out Nirvana in Fire. It's...a masterpiece.
The only ones I have watched and loved is Hot Stove League--what a brilliant drama and deserving of all the accolades. Although, I don't understand why it wasn't expected to do well when it stared Namgoon Min who had already made a name for himself. And Hospital Playlist. Why wasn't this expected to do well? It's the same team as the phenomenon that is the Reply series. The others on the list I haven't seen like Red Sleeve though I admire Lee Junho so much (Just Between Lovers and Secretary Kim!) or they were...meh. I notice that most of these are Netflix produced.
I have watched 7 out of 10. Definitely going to watch the remaining 3😍
Itaewon Class is a masterpiece there is no kdrama i love more than IC
The best!
Really? How many dramas have u watched tho
@@charliekim3953 recommend me some
Yass itaewon is not the usual kdrama where it's so cliché and so lovey dovey scence , it's shows different sides of lives of people .
Been watching kdramas for over a decade....and Itaewon Class is in my top list. 👌
Korean dramas are loved all over the world! What country are you watching this video from?
Australia and I'm 39 lol
India
Nigeria
Sri Lanka
India🇮🇳
Hospital Playlist is an excellent serie drama.
Hot Stove League was voted 2nd best drama of 2019. When the Camellias Bloom was 1st as it won Daesang.
Thought I've seen it all when it come to plots/storylines. But Squid Games. It was shocking and such a genius surprise plot. It deserves the #1 slot for Masterpiece. Korea continuously produces such excellent KDramas. And the acting skills are superb. It gives me goosebumps sometimes to see such great acting
Will watch this. I love Korean dramas but Moon Lovers is my favorite. Hope there is season 2
Waiting for SWEET HOME season 2 🤩😍
Crash Landing on You ?? 🤷♂️
It deserves a place in that list .
I've watched Squid Game several times! Love it! Mr Queen cracked me up 🤣
The World of the Married and Mr. Queen is a must watch for me, 🥰
Crash Landing On You was amazing ❤️
Hometown Cha Cha Cha was awesome 💕
Business Proposal was good.
My Holo Love was great!
Memories Of The Alhambra was phenomenal!!! 💞💞💞
Hospital Playlist is just too good.
Hospital Playlist is such an wonderful pleasant drama .... 😍😍😍
Haven’t watched Hot Stove league but now I saw Park Eun-bin I’m sold 💕
Kdramas we're a very good surprise to me, I started to watch by curiosity Kim bok-joo fairy weightlifter and never stop watching dramas, they are so good! I think the comedies are sweet and light and the actors are really funny and nice. Watching Korean dramas made me interested in Korean culture and learning Korean as well.
Sweet Home looks really good. Will be checking that out next as soon as I finish “Signal”.
Tell you why Korean dramas are popular..because they’re clean - with no need for warnings - and fulfils our hope in life for a happy ending.
My second* K-drama was Sweet Home and I loved it! Now I'm hooked on K-dramas and even taught myself how to read and write Hangeul, although understanding is taking some time.
*My first was "Man from Nowhere" and is still in my top ten all time favorites.
"The Red Sleeve". is the best korean drama of all time!
We need this Drama in Netflix also.
@@melav1407 Agree with you, will rewatch it again once it comes out on Netflix
idk why but i can seat and watch for 2 hours of hospital playlist and have enough hype left to wait for another episode thw next week. It can literally have one scene run for almost 10 mins and i don't get bored to it. Maybe because i found the beauty in that drama, that it made it my all-time favorite.
Plust the OSTs slaps, everyweek band sessions are one of the most awaited.
Often less talked about, which is seriously one of the premium level finest drama is "Arthdal Chronicles". It has all the elements to potentially climb the chart high up. "The world of the married" officially ended my dying interest in Hollywood movies. The work of a true genius. With so many great series to pick on, i would always end up recommending The world of the married to a first timer.
Some intense court room dramas such as "Law School" or "Juvenile Justice" are also recommended.
It is shocking that "Reply 1988" didn't make it to the list. One of the master class i would say, that offers strong pleasurable stimulation to our senses.
🎉 thank you Netflix! I’m so addicted to Korean dramas I even follow the actors n actresses only problem is I need more! I’ve watched everything up until September 2022! I wish they had more series to a lot of them. Make a calendar of the actors/actresses so I can buy it! Thank you Korean actor/actresses for being soooooo brilliant! ❤
Hot Stove League and one that doesn't have anything to do with this list, Scarlet Heart: Ryeo
Yes rigth moon lovers
The only one I’ve seen here is Squid Game. The ones I love are not on this list - the King’s Affection, the best one for me. Then the crowned clown, 100 days my prince, my sassy girl, hotel del Luna, the rookie historian. How is it that these aren’t on the list? King’s Affection tops it though. What a wonderful show and the music is just awesome.
See itaewon class, didn't want to see it initially
I love all those historical dramas you have listed but Mr Queen and Red Sleeve jumped to the top of the list. Def watch them!
Read the intro and comment dude
I'm only able to watch on Netflix so I'm missing out on some of these. I only watched Itaewon Class because of Park Sojoon. The continual bullying in it was very hard to watch. I'm not at all interested in Squid Game and I think it's a great shame that it's often the introduction to K-Drama for westerners who are then put off from exploring further. I love the historical dramas so it's annoying not to be able to watch Mr. Queen. My favourite is, My Country, followed by Rookie Historian and Hwarang. Strong Girl Bong Soon is my favourite modern drama followed by Healer and Vincenzo. Roof Top Prince was another great one which was set both in modern times and in historical times. Mr Sunshine is another favourite.
business proposal
Wait, was anyone surprised at Hospital Playlist's success? The writer's a guaranteed success, hence people in lead roles being totally happy to be a support in works by them... it was going to be a hit, the cast members having their parts written for the actor another trick of that writer that makes it great.
All got A stars. I really like Jirisan but I wasn't expect to. South Korea makes the best zombie stories.
Yes ZOMBIE DETECTIVE is so cute and sweet.
10. Hot Stove League
9. The Penthouse
8. Itaewon Class
7. The Red Sleeve
6. Work Later Dream Now
5. Mr. Queen
4. Hospital Playlist
3. Sweet Home
2. The World of the Married
1. Squid Game
I guess I'm the only one ever who thought Itaewon Class was so boring. I didn't hate it (and actually love the cast) but I was sooo bored by the story. Don't know why.. 😂
For me it's one time watch drama
Without being on netflix penthouse was majorly successful and popular, such a brilliant show that they’ve now put it on Netflix lol
Hot stove league is really good, don't even know anything about baseball. It kept me hooked anyway.
9:00 Monster like the ones in Sweet home is more fun to watch than zombies because of the monsters diff characteristics, they dont just fumble and dash to the nearest human but actually hunts, trick and taunts people or monsters alike.
Itaewon Class was one of the most annoying dramas I've ever seen 😭 It was okay at first but the last few episodes made my head hurt.
Same here
I hated the obnoxious female lead
The RED Sleeve
Doom at your Service
Move to Heaven
Mr. Queen
Squid Game
When I watched Squid Game wow I was like, Wow! Wow! Wow! Korea should be shown more to the world! With Squid Game I thought I was in Hollywood! Koreans are very talented I must say!
kdrama > hollywood, lol
@@lolz2566 Hollywood - kdrama
@@lolz2566 much more beautiful in hollywood you try to watch breaking bad the breaking bad the greatest series ever and so on
Hollywood and Korean drama are just as good, only Korean drama has been able to accompany Hollywood
Netflix is huge reason k drama get viral I want they do more
i love PSJ in ITAEWON!!!
Mr. Queen, Itawon, Hospital Play List, California
Dang,u guys forgot DESCENDENTS OF THE SUN and WHAT'S WRONG WITH SECRETARY KIM,A perfect happy ever wanted endings😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Why is “My liberation notes” not here☹️?
When it comes to going beyond expectation, the drama that pops on my mind almost immediately would be SKY Castle.
It started with 1 something % on the pilot episode, and ended with a record-breaking finale.
The plot, the cast, the editing & the score/ost, and even the cinematography were all superbly executed.
Somewhat surprised i couldn't find it on this list.
The penthouse was such a journey remains my favorite
extraordinary attorney woo
Of the 10, I've only seen five, and two I couldn't finish. Iteawon Class was OK at best, Mr. Queen went unfinished. I wish I hadn't finished Hospital Playlist, wasted my time on that one. Sweet Home is just another horror done wrong show, watch Train to Busan and The Guest for good ones. Squid Game, just plain unbelievable, inane. Another waste of time. I commented on Tomorrow below, it's a fail. Business Proposal is just plain outstanding, compared to the rest of these. I'll give the ones I haven't seen a shot, who knows? I might find a gem. Some shows I think you won't go wrong with are Mr. Sunshine, My Mister, You Are My Spring, Another Miss Oh!, and One Spring Night. Those seven are just ones that come to mind quickly, there are a ton of others. S. Korea is doing some amazing work. Kudos!
Hospital playlist is my favorite -r
i can say: my favorites which you mention here are: not in order
Itaewon, Mr. Queen, Squid game… i write here which you had mention only…
I watch Every Single Masterpiec k Dramas but No one beat Mr.queen
I watch Goblin / Legend of blue sea /sky Castle / Mr.sunshine / The World Married /True beauty / Boys over Flower /Mon lover / love from another star/ Itaewon class/ Every single popular kdrama
My favorite. - itaewon class, Stove league and the red sleeve.
thanks to you my must watch list got an upgrade
Hotel del luna, Reply 1988, Boys over flowers, and Extraordinary attorney Woo should definetely be on this list. I was happily surprised by Itaewon class, My name, Business proposal and Demon catchers on Netflix. K dramas are so addictive, they raise the standards really high once you're hooked on them it's hard to watch anything else.
Itawanclass of course I so much love it. I feel like watching it again. 😂😍
yes
Never heard of number 10 would love to see it very much
The Red Sleeve final episode is depressing 😭😭😭
ngl I love HOSPITAL PLAYLIST!!!
Itawon, Mr. Queen, Hospital Playlists and , king’s affection, and I miss Drama Fever, Vicki nor Netflix come up to the standard of Drama Fever as they literally a sell out!
What Kdramas surpassed YOUR expectations?
Mr queen
Vincenzo
2521
Mr. Queen and Business Proposal
Crash landing on you
Mr queen and last empress..... Penthouse... Vincenzo... Plots 😇😇😇
MR QUEEN is superb as is HOT STOVE LEAGUE. Korean writing and acting has to be the best in the world at the moment.
ga graduate na talaga ko sa kdrama. andami ko na napanuod
Loved Hospital Playlist the most.
The Mr Queen is exactly same premise as that of My Princess... diff is that this last one is just full of funny moments! Both have similar endings too...pity that...I just love a HEA sigh!
Penthouse is just get hyped....but it's not that great....I prefer sky castle
I prefer the penthouse the penthouse has more fans because it's so interesting and so much fun to watch
The red sleeve is one of the best k-drama of all time❤️💯
Penthouse 🤞
There are a more than a couple of dramas on this list that I really liked. I never rewatch a drama except for Love in the Moonlight with Park Bo Gum one if my fav actors. I did rewatch Hospital Playlist too. It was just my favorite type of dramas. It has every emotion, very funny and the music was great. These dramas deserve their ratings.
I don’t know what the big complaint was with Mr Queen but I will never understand how a whole country complains about so many things together. How do these people have time for all that complaining. They all jump on the bandwagon and even submit their complaints to the Blue House. How is a President or their administration supposed to handle so many trivial complaints?
It would never happen in my country because there are so many diverse people that would never agree or jump on the bandwagon about anything as trivial as a television show. It would never reach the President or even the White House. We have so many bigger problems for our government than something like that.
I’m sure SK also has bigger problems like housing prices, the security of their country and poverty just to name a few.
I’ll never understand the netizens of SK.
So many titles not on Netflix in my country South Africa unfortunately
