My grandma used to put on K-dramas for me when I was a child. She'd buy them from a store in Chinatown, and they'd be dubbed in Cantonese. I didn't become obsessed with K-dramas until I was 12 and discovered Boys Over Flowers, a classic K-drama. To be honest with you, I wouldn't like the drama now as an adult. However, as a middle school student, the drama changed my brain chemistry. It ignited my love for K-dramas. As someone who's been watching K-dramas for years, I've compiled a list of K-dramas I've watched and my reviews.

Check them out and let me know if they hit the spot for you too.
